Bamboo Horse Cultivation Manual [Rebirth]

"I'm really sorry about that incident in the morning."

On the way home, Qiu Mu sat on the bus and whispered to Ye Li next to him: "...I don't know what's wrong, but suddenly I feel awkward."

Ye Li had probably forgotten about that incident, or he didn't take it to heart, so after hearing Qiu Mu's special apology, he was a little surprised: "It's okay."

Qiu Mu looked at Ye Li's expression carefully, and then said, "Why did you fight with Ma Bin? Didn't you say you made up?"

Ye Li's expression made it impossible to see whether he was lying or telling the truth: "We are reconciled now, but at that time I still had some opinions on him, and if there was a dispute, I would directly fight."

Qiu Mu thought about it, and felt that Ye Li's temperament should not be so impulsive.

But with the precedent in the daytime, Qiu Mu didn't want to press Ye Li any more, so as not to have conflicts with Ye Li again, so he said, "Well, next time you have something to say, don't do it."

Ye Li: "Yes, I know."

Qiu Mu suddenly stopped, not knowing what to say.

Ye Li said: "After we go back, Grandpa and Auntie will definitely ask, can you help me talk about it?"

Qiu Mu: "Huh? Ah, good - what do you want to say?"

Ye Li: "Let's just say that I ran too fast on the treadmill, so it was confiscated, and then I knocked it."

Qiu Mu nodded: "OK."

Then he asked again: "Will you go next time?"

Ye Li: "Go, the coach fee is quite cheap."

Qiu Mu smiled and said, "Why, are you a little rich man now?"

Ye Li said implicitly, "I made some money."

Qiu Mu couldn't help smiling.

After roughly estimating Ye Li's current assets in the stock market, Qiu Mu jokingly said, "Not bad, you can buy half a house in Shanghai."

"Not as much as you earn."

When he said he wanted to trade in stocks, Qiu Mu put all his money in Ye Li and asked Ye Li to help him speculate, so sometimes Ye Li knew better than Qiu Mu how much money he had made.

Although this huge sum of money may be at the level of pocket money for Qiu Mu.

But it is completely enough for a family of three to use for a lifetime.

"Sometimes I wonder why you don't bring Xiaoyu with you for this kind of thing." Ye Li said.

Qiu Mu asked suspiciously, "Xiao Yu?"

"Maybe it's because Xiaoyu doesn't have much savings, and it's useless to join; it may also be because you think he doesn't need to care about such a small matter, and you can give him the money he earned so hard. "Ye Li helped Qiu Mu analyze: "That's why I never told him."

Qiu Mu really didn't think about this: "Yeah, probably."

Subconsciously, he immediately excluded Gu Yu from the ranks of the business and money teams.

After all, falling in love is falling in love, and working to make money is working to make money, which are completely different things.

"Xiaoyu doesn't know about your family's situation until now."

Qiu Mu: "It sounds like it is."

He is not the kind of person who likes to casually talk about his own conditions with others, because once he speaks out, it is easy to be misunderstood as showing off.

Moreover, in this kind of situation and under this kind of relationship, the communication between people is about people, not family background, so it doesn't matter if you don't talk about it or not.

In the previous life, when Gu Yu knew about the specific situation of Qiu Mu's family, the two started working after graduation. Gu Yu noticed Qiu Mu's "abnormal promotion speed", so he asked, and Qiu Mu told him.

"Do you really plan to have... with him?" Because it was on the bus, Ye Li didn't make it too clear.

Qiu Mu was taken aback: "What do you mean?"

"I just think you're a bit strange." Ye Li said: "I used to think that you knew everything and everything you did must be carefully considered, so I listened to you with peace of mind and didn't raise too many opinions. But it seems that you are the only one In this respect, you are not much better than me."

"..." Qiu Mu said, "Maybe you are right, but I don't quite understand."

After all, in this kind of thing, if you don't take the first step, your experience will always be zero.So no matter how long the history of secret love is, those who don’t understand still don’t understand.

But what did Ye Li mean by "Are you really going to date Gu Yu?"Where is he not good enough?

Apart from avoiding Chen Siqi's matter, there is nothing else, right?

After asking this question, Ye Li shrugged.

"Who knows."

seems unwilling to answer.

Early the next morning, Qiu Mu was awakened by the sound of her mobile phone.

[I want to go out to play with my senior sister, please tell my mother for help, just say that I am with you]

"..."

Putting the phone back on the bed, Qiu Mu lay on the pillow and was in a daze for a while.

After half a minute, he woke up from his sleep.

It's really really good news early in the morning, and I feel like my mood is going to turn bad all day.

Speaking of it, it seems that I haven't had time to tell Gu Yu about reminding him not to fall behind in his academic performance.

Forget it...let's talk about it when we go to school on Monday.

Stretching, he got up from the bed.He rubbed his hair, yawned, and pushed open the door of the room.

Ye Li was dressed neatly and walked over from the living room in good spirits.

Every weekend, Ye Li would not sleep in late, but would wake up earlier than usual, and then go out for a walk with the old man and the puppy.Self-control is scary.

"wake up."

"Hmm..." Qiu Mu lazily said, "I did some exercise yesterday, and now my shoulders are heavy."

It feels like his physical strength is not bad, but his upper body strength is a bit bad.

"Speaking of which, do you have any plans for today?" Qiu Mu asked.

Ye Li: "What?"

"I want to buy some clothes." Qiu Mu walked into the bathroom and began to fill the water cup: "Well... let's go shopping again."

"Okay." Ye Li agreed.

After breakfast, Qiu Mu went out easily with her wallet in hand.

In the clothing store, the two were choosing clothes.

"Xiao Yu sent me a text message early in the morning, saying that he was going out to play with Chen Siqi." Qiu Mu complained to Ye Li: "It's really depressing."

Ye Li: "I'll remind him later."

"Forget it." Qiu Mu looked around at the dazzling array of men's clothing in front of him, and said, "I'm used to it."

As soon as Ye Li opened his mouth, Gu Yu must have been depressed for a long time.

Looking at the clothes in front of him, Ye Li suddenly said, "Like this one?"

Qiu Mu froze for a moment: "Huh? Ah... yes."

How did Ye Li guess it.

From several clothes of the same style, he found a suitable size for Qiu Mu: "Do you want to try it? The color suits you very well."

Qiu Mu took it over and said indifferently, "Okay."

Went to the fitting room to change clothes, after coming out, Ye Li nodded: "It's pretty."

"Then let's do this." With Ye Li's words, Qiu Mu didn't bother to look in the mirror to see if it was all right.

Turn around to change the clothes back, and then go out, Ye Li has already paid the money.

"Let's go to another house."

"OK~"

Half an hour later, the two walked out of the commercial street with large and small packages in their hands.

"Let's go to the game hall."

Qiu Mu pointed to the building in front of him and proposed.

He didn't want to go back so early.

Ye Li readily agreed.

I came to the front desk to store my things, and took the elevator up to the tenth floor.In the dim light, there are countless game consoles of different styles.This is the place where Gu Yu and Qiu Mu learned about it from their classmates after they entered high school, and they would occasionally come here on weekends.

——Although Gu Yu proposed to play most of the time, then Qiu Mu accompanied Gu Yu, Ye Li followed Qiu Mu, and finally the three of them came together.

It was the first time that Qiu Mu or Ye Li offered to play.

"Do you want to play with the claw machine?" Qiu Mu said.

"There is no place to put it when it is clipped."

Ye Li didn't intend to put this kind of thing in his bedroom.

"You can give it away."

Ye Li: "To whom?"

Qiu Mu thought about it and thought it was the same.

"Then grab it and play with yourself."

Ye Li: "Follow you."

Qiu Mu went to exchange tens of dollars of game currency, and then came to grab the doll.

"This robotic claw is so weak."

Five minutes later, Qiu Mu depressedly dropped the last coin.

"I just caught the two ugliest ones."

Ye Li: "..."

He said, "How about I try it?"

Qiu Mu stepped aside: "You come."

20 seconds later.

Qiu Mu: "..."

Ye Li picked up the doll and handed it to Qiu Mu: "Here."

"..."

With a straight face on purpose, he stared straight at Ye Li for a few seconds, and when Ye Li finally couldn't help but want to speak, he suddenly took it with a smile on his face: "Thank you!"

After being tricked for a while, Ye Li smiled helplessly: "You can just buy a doll with your money."

Qiu Mu: "I don't really want to buy a doll, but I'm very happy to get one."

He left the two dolls he caught in front of the machine and gave them to the next "destined person". He left with the doll Ye Li caught in his hand, and went to the front desk to exchange dozens of game coins.

The two walked to the next machine.

"Let's compete who can vote more!"

Standing in front of the basketball machine and making fixed-point shots, he played several consecutive games for an insignificant number.Seeing that they were about to lose three out of five rounds, Qiu Mu quickly snatched Ye Li's last basketball, and then threw it into the basket on his side.

"Haha."

Ye Li looked at him helplessly.

"You are not childish."

Qiu Mu doesn't care so much, anyway, Ye Li has nothing to do with him if he cheats.

"Do you want to play on the dancing machine?"

"I'll be surrounded by people and feel uncomfortable," Ye Li said.

"Then go sing K?"

Ye Li nodded: "If it's a box."

The two ran downstairs to the first floor, and took their clothes to find a KTV nearby.

Ten minutes later, Qiu Mu covered her ears, took the microphone, and laughed at Ye Li: "Sound idiot! Sound idiot!"

Ye Li ignored him and continued to sing seriously with his out-of-tune voice.

Except that the singing voice is not on the score, there is really nothing to say about the clear tone and handsome appearance when singing.

Qiu Mu sang along: "...What you can't get is always in turmoil, and those who are favored have nothing to fear*—I have been taken away by you!" He held up the microphone to protest.

Ye Li's voice echoed in the room: "This is the song I ordered."

Qiu Mu laughed while talking: "Hahaha, you can't even sing this correctly, how can you sing?"

Ye Li cooperated with Qiu Mu's joke and said, "Shut up."

"Quietly listen to my brother sing for you." Qiu Mu raised her chin high and said, "I am the god of song."

Ye Li put down the microphone with a smile, went to look for a musical instrument for fun, and played a small drum to accompany Qiu Mu.

"How cruel but still beautiful, how not to be scheming when you are at a disadvantage, how to show awe of the laws that test you...*"

Qiu Mu didn't lie, he really sang very well, and he was not at the same level as Ye Li.Ye Li sat aside and watched Qiu Mu sing, watching his face and back with gentle eyes.

An hour later, Qiu Mu leaned on the sofa with a happy expression on his face.

Holding the newly ordered juice in his hand, Qiu Mu said, "I'm hungry."

Ye Li's ears have hardly been clean for an hour, and he has been listening to Qiu Mu's singing.Seeing Qiu Mu's expression satisfied, he said, "Let's go eat."

Near the commercial street, Qiu Mu looked back and forth at the nearest restaurants and hesitated.

"Want to eat hot pot?"

Qiu Mu said "Yes", "But it's easy to get angry."

"Next, eat less things that get angry."

This sentence pushed Qiu Mu behind his back and made a decision for him.Walking in with peace of mind, Qiu Mu said, "That's right."

When ordering dishes, Ye Li took the menu and reported a few items.

"Is there anything else you want?"

Qiu Mu: "Is this what I like to eat?"

Ye Li: "I can eat anything."

He handed the menu to Qiu Mu, who took it and put it on the table to read.

"..."

Ye Li paid attention to Qiu Mu's expression, and saw that his eyes stopped somewhere for three seconds, then moved away, and said, "Want to eat shrimp?"

Qiu Mu raised his head in surprise.

"It's okay, I can peel it off for you." Ye Li said.

Qiu Mu felt embarrassed: "Don't, it's still outside."

He has a little-known little habit, that is, it is annoying to peel the shrimp when eating shrimp, and the crab is the same, so although he likes to eat it, he is rarely willing to order it.

Ye Li noticed Qiu Mu's little habit. Sometimes when he sat next to Qiu Mu, he would help get out the shrimp meat and crab meat and give it to Qiu Mu.At first Qiu Mu was quite embarrassed, but later she got used to it more often, and accepted it calmly.

"Put it on a plate and hand it to you after peeling, no one will see it." Ye Li turned his head and said to the waiter at the side: "Let's have another plate of shrimp."

The waiter held the notebook for recording the menu, looked back and forth between the faces of the two boys, Ye Li and Qiu Mu, and lowered his head to write: "Oh, ok."

Seeing the waiter leave with the menu, Qiu Mu said, "Why do you know everything?"

Ye Li: "What."

Qiu Mu: "I want to eat shrimp."

"Feel it." Ye Li said.

"It feels so accurate."

"Can't you sometimes guess what's in my heart?" Ye Li said casually in a casual tone.

Qiu Mu thought for a while, then smiled brightly: "That's true."

When the hot pot is ready, Qiu Mu is in charge of eating with peace of mind, and Ye Li is in charge of boiling the dishes.He has a good grasp of the heat, and can always take it out when the taste is the best, so Qiu Mu eats it very happily and saves effort.

Satisfied, she put down her chopsticks, wiped the corners of her mouth with a paper towel, and looked at Ye Li with a smile on her face while eating.

"I feel always happy when I go out to play with you."

Ye Li ate the food in his mouth, swallowed it, and then picked up the quail eggs with his chopsticks, looking a little busy: "Really."

He must eat all the dishes he ordered without wasting them.

"Before..." I wanted to say that in my previous life, apart from Gu Yu, Qiu Mu didn't have a male friend who could hang out with me like Ye Li, but I didn't know how to say it.Qiu Mu said: "I feel that when I play with you, I am happier than with anyone else."

"..." Ye Li scooped up two pieces of mutton with a spoon and put them in Qiu Mu's bowl: "Help."

Qiu Mu had no choice but to raise her chopsticks again, and went to eat meat.

"Are you happier than when you were with Xiao Yu?" Ye Li looked at the bowl in his hand and said casually, seemingly unintentionally.

"How should I put it?" Qiu Mu thought for a while: "There are different ways to be happy, and there is no comparison."

"..."

Ye Li: "Oh."

"One is really happy, the other is suddenly happy and then suddenly sad." Qiu Mu said, "Can you understand what I mean?"

"..." Ye Li tilted his head in thought, "Probably?"

"..."

It was originally a very ordinary conversation, but for some reason, Qiu Mu suddenly remembered what happened in the gym yesterday.

perhaps?It probably means that Ye Li also understands the pain of lovesickness and secret love.

He really has someone he likes.

Thinking of this, my mood suddenly changed again.

"What's wrong with you?" Ye Li asked.

"What?" Qiu Mu asked listlessly.

Ye Li pointed to Qiu Mu: "I was very happy just now, why did I become silent all of a sudden?"

Qiu Mu raised his eyelids: "Ah... probably because I'm too full to move."

"That's it..." Looking at the bottom of the pot in front of him, Ye Li decided to finish eating them by himself.

As night fell, fluorescent lights flickered on both sides of the street.

At the bus stop sign, Ye Li asked, "Stop shopping?"

Qiu Mu: "Well, I had a lot of fun."

The waiting bus had arrived, and the two of them got on the bus with their things.

The seats in the car are a bit full, and there is no place to sit side by side.

The two found a place by the window to sit down.

After walking for a day, it is impossible to say that I am not tired, but my five senses and spirit are very active, just like waking up early in the morning and drinking a cup of delicious coffee, full of energy.

A young body is good.

Although I was only 28 back then, it was nothing compared to when I was a teenager.

Glancing sideways at Ye Li who was sitting in the distance, he found that he was leaning against the window with his chin propped on his palm, looking at the scenery outside.

What is there to see outside that can make Ye Li look at it for so long without blinking.

Qiu Mu turned her head and glanced at the busy traffic outside the car window.Each of them looks different, but in fact they are all rectangular iron vehicles crowded the road.Pedestrians coming and going walk by the side of the road, men, women, young and old, in various clothes, in the final analysis are just the same passers-by, strangers who will not interact with themselves.

When the seemingly bustling town streets are narrowed down to a single person, they still look very lonely.After all, there are only a few who can really talk to each other.

The car turned a corner, the building lights outside the car were blocked by the car body, and the glass mirror suddenly went dark for a moment.The name of the boy whom he could identify with had just appeared in his mind, and the other person's figure instantly appeared in the black mirror.

It was Ye Li, who was looking sideways at the window.

The car turned straight again, and the glass mirror became transparent again.Qiu Mu's gaze has been locked on the other party, so this time it is very easy to see the looming figure from the glass window reflecting the fiery trees, silver flowers, and colorful world.

After staring at his back for a long time, he slowly looked away, trying to see the world Ye Li saw from the glass that acts as a mirror, but he couldn't see anything.

The light outside the window is too bright.

Not knowing if it was too boring, or if she really wanted to ask, Qiu Mu took out her mobile phone to edit the text message.

【What are you thinking】

A few seconds later, Ye Li received a text message.Qiu Mu reflected through the glass and saw Ye Li take out his mobile phone, then he didn't look at Qiu Mu's actual location, but looked at himself in the direction of the glass, and bowed his head to reply.

【you guess. 】

Qiu Mu: [Guess you are thinking of beautiful women]

I wanted to write "Sweetheart", but I was afraid that the atmosphere would be wrong, and Ye Li would think of what happened yesterday, so I changed the vocabulary.

【haha.jpg】

Ye Li sent a sticker of an animal clutching its stomach and laughing.

[Don't think too much about malnutrition]

Qiu Mu smiled and made a nasty joke.

Ye Li looked at the phone in a daze for two seconds, then his shoulders shrugged slightly, and he replied with a low smile.

【puff. 】

Qiu Mu: [Guess right? 】

Ye Li: [You, why are your thoughts so dirty. 】

Qiu Mu: [Hahaha]

[It's almost there, let's get ready. 】

After Ye Li finished writing this sentence, he put away his phone and began to organize the big and small things he bought today.Qiu Mu also picked up the bag that was lying beside her on the ground, and not long after holding it in her hand, the car arrived at the stop.

The two got out of the car together and went home.

Opening the guardrail gate outside the house, Aunt Huang came out of the house looking a little embarrassed.My hands and clothes are wet.

Looking at Qiu Mu and Ye Li who just came back, she said: "There seems to be something wrong with the water pipe on the first floor. I'm going to call the plumber to fix it. If you need water, go to the second floor first."

Qiu Mu nodded: "Okay."

Ye Li asked, "Is there anything I can do to help?"

Aunt Huang originally had an anxious expression on her face, but because the words slowed down, she smiled and said, "No need, you're tired from playing all day. Auntie made something delicious today. Go back and wash your hands before eating. Auntie went out for a while. Come on, be right back."

Holding the watering pot in his hand, the old man strolled slowly from the garden, and said to Ye Li and the others, "I'm back."

"Well, I'm back." Since Aunt Huang said no, Ye Li no longer insisted on helping, and walked over to support the old man's arm: "You want to go back to the house?"

The old man was cheerful, with his wrist resting on Ye Li's strong palm, he calmly accepted the filial piety from the younger generation: "The old friend from Beijing sent a few books, I found it very interesting after reading it, and Xiao Li wants to read it." ?"

Ye Li helped the old man into the house: "I want to read, what kind of book is it?"

Qiu Mu had long been used to the fact that when Ye Li was present, the old man unintentionally "ignored" his behavior, said hello to the nanny and said goodbye at the door, followed them with a smile, and entered the house.

Putting the stuff in his hand on the floor of the living room, Qiu Mu found the bag he was looking for, brought it over to the old man and said, "Grandpa, this is the pajamas that Xiao Li bought for you, can you see if you like it?" like."

"Oh?" The old man cheerfully handed a few books to Ye Li, and turned his eyes: "You bought it for me?"

Ye Li added: "Xiao Mu and I chose together."

Qiu Mu took out the loose and soft clothes and put them in front of the old man to show him: "When I was shopping, I passed by a pajamas shop, and Xiao Li took a look outside and said that I must buy one for you, and then dragged me in to pick it out. long time."

The old man took the pajamas, looked at Qiu Mu and Ye Li carefully for a long time with loving eyes, and then nodded: "Well, grandpa likes it very much, Xiaoli and Mu'er are both interested."

Ye Li was very happy, and he exchanged a glance with Qiu Mu, his expression was a little more cheerful than usual.It's like saying "that's great".

Qiu Mu smiled gratifiedly, but did not speak.

An hour later, a middle-aged man with a beard and a stained gray-blue jumpsuit came out of the kitchen.Ye Li stood at the door and asked the plumber who had been busy for a long time: "How is it?"

Seeing that Ye Li was a child, the middle-aged man didn't have the patience to explain more, so he casually replied "it's a little troublesome", then walked to the living room, and said to the old man sitting on the sofa: "The water pipe in your house probably has a long service life. , it’s broken and needs to be replaced.”

The old man gave a "hmm" and said casually, "Change it."

"Will it take a long time to change? Then what do we do with water in other places?" Ye Li said.

The middle-aged man looks rude on the outside, but he is quite honest in his business: "There is no big problem in other places, just change the bathroom on the first floor."

Finally, I came to the conclusion that after three days, I came to change the water pipe, and it will be able to use normally after one week.

"It seems that these days, I have to go to the second floor to wash my face and take a shower." Qiu Mu said.

The author has something to say:
