Bamboo Horse Cultivation Manual [Rebirth]

Two days later, the project of the complex was still progressing steadily. In order to quickly produce a finished draft for her mother, Qiu Mu was a little busy processing documents with her computer all day long.

Then I don't know if it was an illusion, Qiu Mu found that the number of times Ye Li took the initiative to talk to him these days was less and less, and sometimes he would even choose to talk to Xiaoping instead of sitting in front of the computer with him to deal with work.

Even now, the two of them stood in the corner of the living room and didn't know what to talk about.Mingming usually answers with a few short words when speaking, but it is the same as Xiaoping who always speaks very well, without stopping her mouth.

——Sure enough, I should bring back both computers.While thinking this way, the thought of "Ye Li won't be interested in Xiaoping" unconsciously popped into Qiu Mu's mind.

That night, Qiu Mu saw that the old man went back to sleep, and when her mother hadn't come back, and Xiao Ping happened to be away from the living room, she casually chatted with Ye Li: "What do you think of Xiao Ping?"

Ye Li looked at the screen photo, which was still Qiu Mu's mobile phone with the same sleeping appearance, and said, "Which aspect."

What else?Qiu Mu said: "All aspects."

Ye Li thought for a while and said, "He was very careful when taking care of grandpa. He is very smart and knows how to speak properly... he looks good and has a nice voice, and the food is delicious and quite funny. , I like to laugh."

"..." Qiu Mu's tone sounded a bit sour: "Wow, such a high evaluation."

Ye Li said honestly: "I haven't seen any obvious shortcomings yet."

Qiu Mu was even more upset: "Don't you think it's terrible for her to be like this? She has no knowledge and such a high degree, but she doesn't go to the hospital to be a doctor and nurse, but stay here as a nurse to take care of the elderly. She has no ambition."

Ye Li frowned slightly: "Why do you say that?"

It's not that I deny the meaning of Qiu Mu's words, but I think it's inconceivable that Qiu Mu is so mean to a girl.

He is not such a person.

Qiu Mu said: "I'm just wondering why you think she's good, you just like her."

Ye Li: "Why do I look down on her? She didn't do anything wrong."

Qiu Mu was so angry that he didn't want to talk anymore.

Ye Li: "What happened? Did she upset you? Or..."

Qiu Mu interrupted: "No, where is it? I just think you seem to have a good relationship with her recently."

Ye Li tilted his head and looked at Qiu Mu.

Qiu Mu spoke quickly, holding a lot of things to say in her heart, and finally had the opportunity to tell Ye Li: "You seem to be able to chat, it's the first time I see you take the initiative to get so close to a girl, I think It's a little fresh."

Ye Li: "Let's talk about cooking, and then—"

Qiu Mu interrupted: "Why didn't I see you talk to me about cooking, I just talked to her."

Ye Li smiled: "Aren't you not interested in this?"

Qiu Mu raised her eyebrows and raised her voice a little: "Why am I not interested? She can cook, but I can't. As for looking down on me? Besides, I don't need you to cook at home. You just learned how to cook." So what are you eager to do!"

Xiaoping heard the conversation, walked over from the corner of the living room, just heard the last sentence, said with a smile, "So Ye Li doesn't usually cook."

Qiu Mu sneered: "I've never seen him be so enthusiastic before."

Xiaoping didn't know what to think of, she looked at Ye Li with interest: "Oh~"

When Qiu Mu heard it, he felt something.

wait, these two...

He carefully observed Xiaoping's eyes looking at Ye Li, and found something wrong.

Xiaoping must have discovered that Ye Li is interested in her, right?Talking with a high school student all day long, with a smile on his face, he is always very happy. Knowing that Ye Li deliberately uses cooking as an excuse to approach her, he doesn't express any disgust, and is even willing to play dumb and cooperate.

Thinking of this, Qiu Mu bit her lips hard, feeling very unhappy.

There was a dull smell in the air, which made him breathless. Qiu Mu stood up and said sullenly, "...I'll go back to sleep first."

Xiao Ping, who was smiling, and Ye Li, who was sitting still, were left behind.

After leaving the living room and walking to the door of the bedroom, Qiu Mu couldn't help but look back at Ye Li's direction, and found that Xiaoping was sitting next to Ye Li, and then looked sideways at Ye Li.

Because Ye Li turned his back to Qiu Mu, Qiu Mu couldn't even see Ye Li's expression at this time.

"..."

The feeling of unhappiness is getting stronger and stronger.

Just seeing the two of them together makes me feel bad.

What, obviously he is here too, why don't you even look at him.It's just a woman I've just met for less than a week. As for such a woman who values ​​sex over friends?

The next day, Qiu Mu and Ye Li set off to sign a contract with the company they cooperated with.The improved version of the plan written by Ye Lixin surprised the other party.After reading it, the person in charge praised the young and promising of the two, and Ye Li said a few words with a natural attitude of modesty, and the contract was signed smoothly without any twists and turns.

The two then had lunch together and said goodbye.

On the way back, Qiu Mu finally had another chance to be alone with Ye Li.

He said: "Do you like Xiaoping? She is much older than you."

Ye Li looked at Qiu Mu in surprise.

Qiu Mu said: "And the distance is still so far, it must be very hard if we really want to date."

"..." Ye Li looked into Qiu Mu's eyes and was silent for a while, not knowing what he was thinking, and said, "Distance is not a problem."

"!"

Qiu Mu's eyes widened, and her heart sank.He habitually wanted to laugh, but he couldn't: "...What, I really like her. I think she is also very interested in you, congratulations."

Ye Li didn't speak, just looked at Qiu Mu silently.

Qiu Mu couldn't help but said: "What are you talking about!"

"You don't like me being with her?"

Qiu Mu: "If anyone doesn't like it, I just don't think the two of you are suitable."

"Why is it inappropriate." Ye Li's voice was calm.

"It doesn't fit anywhere, okay!" Qiu Mu seemed to have a lot to say about this, and she looked ready to negotiate seriously with Ye Li: "Does she look like that? Although she has a good education, she is a nurse after all. Character, character is not perfect. Also, and..."

After thinking for a long time, I found that I couldn't think of more words, and I was a little frustrated for a while.

Yeah, apart from the age gap and the location being too far away, what's wrong with Xiaoping.If she really wants to fall in love, there are a lot of men who are willing to chase her under this condition.

In the end, I couldn't help but muttered guiltyly: "Anyway, I don't think you are suitable."

Ye Li said: "The last time you said that I liked Ma Bin, you said the same thing. 'Inappropriate'."

Qiu Mu lowered her head, wondering if she had listened.

"Do you think I have to marry a postdoctoral Miss World Beauty?"

Qiu Mu shook her head impatiently, not wanting to answer Ye Li's question.

"Why don't you talk anymore, isn't it the topic you brought up first?"

Qiu Mu: "I just think you shouldn't be in a relationship right now, you should concentrate on your studies and career!"

Ye Li couldn't help laughing, the tone in Qiu Mu's ears was extraordinarily mocking: "You and Xiao Yu are fine?"

"..."

Qiu Mu was speechless.

Ye Li: "Do you think that I always refuse other people's confession, so I really don't plan to fall in love. Qiu Mu, if I meet someone I like, I can't help being tempted."

Qiu Mu frowned, her eyes flickered, and her mood was very unstable.

Ye Li: "I'm not Xiaoyu, and I won't delay my studies because of a relationship. I can handle my own affairs well, so you don't have to worry."

Qiu Mu didn't want to hear it: "Stop talking!"

Ye Li: "Is there anything I can't say? I've heard you talk so much about Xiao Yu, so you should give me some advice now."

Qiu Mu turned her head abruptly, and said to Ye Li, "But I don't want to hear it!"

Ye Li looked at him, and said in a slow tone: "I'm close to a person, and you come to stop a person, isn't it too strange?"

Qiu Mu opened her eyes wide: "I—"

Ye Li: "You should stop the people around Xiao Yu, not me."

Qiu Mu opened his mouth, and found that he couldn't say anything to refute Ye Li's words.

Ye Li said: "It's not that you have to control me if I live together. I'm free to do what I want. It's unreasonable for you to do this."

"..."

Ye Li looked at him and said, "Did I say something wrong?"

Qiu Mu's eyes were hurt, he lowered his head, looked at the palms on his thighs, and found that they had already been clenched into fists unconsciously, trembling unconsciously.

He quickly let go of his hands and spread them on both sides: "No."

he whispered.

Ye Li seemed satisfied and didn't continue talking.

Qiu Mu felt that it was difficult for her to breathe, her thoughts were in a mess, and she couldn't think clearly.

Back home, the two walked in one after the other.Ye Li habitually turned around and handed Qiu Mu's slippers to him first, put them in front of Qiu Mu, and then went to get his own slippers to change.

Looking at the blue sandals in front of him, Qiu Mu felt very uncomfortable.

With a gloomy expression on his face, he put on his shoes and leaned on the chair in the living room exhausted. Ye Li went about his business on his own. When he turned around and came to the living room, he handed Qiu Mu a glass of freshly squeezed ice cubes. juice.

Qiu Mu was already thirsty after walking all the way back, so he took it and drank a couple of sips.

When drinking the juice into the stomach, the body feels refreshed, but on the contrary, the mood becomes more and more dull.

Will Ye Li do this kind of thing to someone he likes in the future?

He was originally a very caring guy, if he took care of him like this, no matter who he was, he would definitely feel very happy, and he wouldn't want to let go if he stayed by Ye Li's side.

Why.

It was obvious that he was the one who turned Ye Li from a brat who didn't understand anything into the outstanding person he is today, so why should he let others take advantage of Ye Li's services for nothing.

Has she paid anything for Ye Li?How many years have you experienced with Ye Li?Do you understand Ye Li's thoughts and understand his thoughts?

To deceive Ye Li so easily, he was so dazed that he didn't even care about his friend.It's too much.

Cold drops of water slipped from the outer wall of the glass and dripped on Qiu Mu's fingers.Then it slowly slid across the back of the hand little by little according to gravity, and after struggling for a while at the wrist, it finally fell to the ground.

Qiu Mu stared blankly at the water drops on the ground, and suddenly felt that she was like that drop of water, no matter how good the past was, when it was time to separate, she was destined to leave.

Yes, after all, he and Ye Li are just friends, so what right do they have to influence Ye Li's thoughts.

After all, Ye Like never said that he should not like Gu Yu.I have been silently supporting him for so many years, listening to his complaints and complaints carefully, never saying "I don't want to hear it", and never saying that the other party has so many sweethearts in front of the other party like Qiu Mu Bad words.

"..." Thinking about the performance just now, it feels really bad.

Ye Li must think that he is very ungrateful and has a bad personality.

What if you are hated.

Looking at the bright orange mango juice in his hand, Qiu Mu began to panic for no reason.

Ye Li and Xiao Ping said something there, and they greeted Qiu Mu and said they would go downstairs to get something.Qiu Mu got up when he heard the words, and said that he was going too.

Just at this moment, the phone in his pocket rang, and Qiu Mu impatiently took it out to look at the screen, and found that it was Gu Yu.

It happened at this time.

Qiu Mu answered the phone patiently: "Hello."

Gu Yu said, "Xiao Mu..."

Qiu Mu listened attentively to Gu Yu's voice on the other end of the phone, and the tense brows slowly relaxed: "What's wrong."

Ye Li over there knew who the person on the other end of the phone was when he heard Qiu Mu's tone, and said to Xiaoping, "Let's go, Xiao Mu won't be coming", then raised his hand and opened the door.

Qiu Mu frowned and looked at Ye Li anxiously, but Gu Yu's phone made him unable to say "Don't go, wait for me", and watched Ye Li and Xiao Ping leave.

"..." An indescribable throbbing pain came from his heart, and with the sound of the door closing, it seemed that his way to Ye Li was also cut off.

The feeling of losing something important made him feel empty all of a sudden.

If I knew it, I would have hung up the phone.You can call again when you are free. If someone goes out, it will be difficult to catch up.

I don't know why, but suddenly there is such an unreasonable and unreasonable idea in my heart.

Gu Yu: "I was chatting with Siqi just now, and there was a little unpleasantness, what should I do?"

"..." Qiu Mu's mind was not here at all, and the words that came out of his mouth were completely without thinking: "Well, why is it unpleasant?"

Gu Yu: "When I talked to her, I didn't know how to upset her. She ignored me, and I panicked."

Qiu Mu: "Why are you unhappy?"

Gu Yu: "I don't know, for no reason, didn't we get along well? Suddenly, I was cold to me. I talked to her and asked her what's wrong, but she didn't explain, just said 'I'm not angry', but She's obviously angry."

"..."

Gu Yu: "Now I feel very uneasy if I can't hear her voice for a day. I want to go to her house to look for her, but I don't know if she is at home. If she is at home, what if she refuses to come out to see me? Do you think it is me? Misunderstood? Help me find a way!"

Qiu Mu: "I don't know."

If it was normal, Qiu Mu would definitely think seriously about the countermeasures, but now he is not in a good state.

"..." Gu Yu said, "What's the matter with you, your tone doesn't seem very happy."

Qiu Mu: "Just like you, Xiaoli doesn't want to talk to me very much recently. I had a fight with him just now."

Gu Yu said "ah": "No way, why would Xiaoli quarrel with you, isn't he the best for you?"

Qiu Mu couldn't help but said: "I don't know what's going on with him, it's inexplicable, I—"

Halfway through the talk, Qiu Mu found that he couldn't continue, and said dejectedly: "No, it's not his problem, it's my fault."

Ye Li did nothing wrong, so he has no reason to blame him.

Gu Yu comforted: "Don't worry, it's okay, Xiaoli doesn't treat others very well, but he is very good-tempered towards you, and he will definitely reconcile with you after turning around."

Qiu Mu spoke very quickly, and he kept this in his heart for a long time: "But you know him, even if he is angry, he doesn't say that he is angry, he can do whatever he wants, but he may still hate him in his heart." me."

Gu Yu: "What happened to you?"

Qiu Mu: "I just said that he shouldn't fall in love so early. If I say a few more words, he will be unhappy."

"..." Gu Yu's voice suddenly changed from anxious to clear, knowing that he was calling, and probably asked the wrong person: "That's right, you have always disapproved of puppy love."

Qiu Mu: "..."

Gu Yu: "Anyway, don't worry, it will definitely be fine."

Apart from this, he didn't know how to persuade Qiu Mu, after all, he was also troubled.

Qiu Mu could only respond with "um, um", feeling depressed.Seeing Qiu Mu like this, Gu Yu didn't have the desire to continue talking, and soon the two ended the call.

Qiu Mu threw the phone aside irritably, and suddenly felt that Ye Li was an asshole for no reason.

It was like this again, and it was the same last time. When sending his grandfather to Shanghai for treatment, Ye Li suddenly didn't want to talk to him for some reason.On the surface it looks fine, no one can say "Ye Li and Qiu Mu are having a conflict", but Qiu Mu can feel the difference.

Maybe it's a look, maybe it's a movement, or maybe it's a grasp of distance.Qiu Mu, who lived in all kinds of small places and lived together for many years, could quickly notice the change in Ye Li's attitude.

To say that he hates himself is not enough.Saying that he doesn't care about himself that much anymore doesn't mean it.But something is wrong, something seems to be missing, and this "something", Ye Li is also very clear, it must be done on purpose.

To be honest, Qiu Mu was very afraid of such a situation.He didn't want his relationship with Ye Li to change.If you treat him well, then be good to the end!Why did it suddenly happen for no reason in the middle, did he do something wrong?

In any case, the fear of losing is a little more serious than the fear of not getting.When you get it, you experience happiness, and you understand the need to cherish it, and then you truly understand the pain of loss.All the joy gained in the past will add up to the pain of loss, making it even more unbearable.

So he didn't want Ye Li's attitude towards him to change at all, even if he didn't value him a little bit, he would feel very painful.

Staring at the orange juice in front of her, she sat quietly on the sofa and waited for Ye Li to return.

Half an hour later, Ye Li and Xiao Ping, holding heavy objects in their hands, came from outside the house.

"Thanks to you, Ye Li." Xiaoping said, "Sure enough, boys are good. If I were alone, I really don't know what to do."

Qiu Mu looked at the thing brought up by Ye Li, and suddenly felt that this scene was very unpleasant.

Is Ye Li your porter or something?Obviously the relationship is not confirmed, so he is in such a hurry to order him.

Xiaoping took out the tissue and made a motion to wipe it for Ye Li, but Ye Li probably didn't see it, and stretched out his hand to take the paper, Xiao Ping handed the tissue to his hand, and said again Xie, carry some of the lighter items and push them into the room.

Qiu Mu sat in the living room, glanced at Ye Li, and beckoned him to sit down and rest.

Ye Li did not sit on the other side of the big sofa where Qiu Mu was sitting as usual, but chose a small single sofa closer to the door.

Qiu Mu felt that Ye Li's choice made him very uncomfortable.

"Why are you sitting there, isn't it crowded?"

Whether it's crowded or not, Qiu Mu knew in his heart that in such a spacious place, even two people could sit there without any problem, but he just couldn't help but want to say a few words.

Ye Li: "I'm covered in sweat."

As if to prove that she didn't mind at all, Qiu Mu moved over to Ye Li, and said, "They're all men, so what do you care about?"

As soon as the words fell, Qiu Mu suddenly smelled a faint smell of alcohol. "I don't like drinking very much." In a trance, recalling what Ye Li had said, Qiu Mu said, "Have you been drinking?"

"Yeah." Ye Li lowered his head expressionlessly, and wiped off the last drop of sweat on his forehead with a tissue.

"Why are you drinking at this time?"

Don't you usually stay at home, watch movies with him while drinking beer to practice alcohol, and basically don't drink alcohol outside?What's wrong now.

Ye Li said, "If you want to drink, drink it."

"..." Qiu Mu looked at Ye Li uncertainly, and said, "Are you in a bad mood?"

"I just signed the contract, why are you in a bad mood." Ye Li got up and said, "I'll go and move the things in for Xiaoping."

"..." Qiu Mu silently watched Ye Li's leaving back, her mind was in a mess.

Sure enough, he was angry, so what made him unhappy?

In the evening, Ye Li and the old man were sitting on the sofa watching the news broadcast together. Qiu Mu glanced sideways at Xiao Ping who was sitting on a chair in the small living room outside, and walked over quietly when Ye Li didn't notice.

She didn't say a few words just now, and without Qiu Mu taking the initiative to shift the topic to Ye Li, Xiaoping asked by herself.

"Is Ye Li very popular with girls in school?"

Qiu Muxin said that Xiaoping was really interested in Ye Li, and then said: "Yes, girls often confessed to her in junior high school."

Xiaoping: "As expected."

Qiu Mu: "Why did Miss Xiaoping suddenly mention this?"

Xiaoping covered her mouth and said a little shyly: "I think he is quite handsome, and he is also very gentle."

"..." Qiu Mu said displeased, "Yes."

Xiaoping beckoned to Qiu Mu, beckoning Qiu Mu to come closer, and whispered to Qiu Mu in a low voice: "Do you know what kind of type he likes?"

Qiu Mu wondered why I told you this, but still replied: "...I like people who are smarter."

Xiaoping blinked her eyes and said, "There are more."

——I wondered in my heart whether I met the requirements or not.Guessing Xiaoping's thoughts, Qiu Mu said: "...Then you have to have a good personality and be sensible."

The smile on Xiaoping's face became more and more beautiful: "Yeah."

The more Qiu Mu thought about it, the more unhappy she became: "It's almost like you."

Xiao Ping laughed loudly: "Really?"

Qiu Mu: "You don't seem too surprised."

Xiaoping smiled slyly, and said, "That's right, I've already seen it."

Qiu Mu said calmly, "Oh? Is Xiaoli so obvious?"

Xiaoping: "When he came over the first day, he seemed to be approaching me on purpose."

Qiu Mu recalled what happened the day she first arrived, and the more she thought about it, the more depressed she became.

It's still love at first sight?

"Really?" Qiu Mu asked intentionally.

Xiaoping and Qiu Mu shared the happy event with a smile: "Of course it is true. He came to me after a while, asking me for pills, looking for a game console, and asking me for a charger. But He is not a person who likes to play games, I can tell he is making excuses at a glance."

Qiu Mu's eyes widened unconsciously.

Ok?

Xiaoping said again: "Didn't you say that he doesn't like to cook? But after eating the dinner I cooked, he said he wanted me to teach him how to cook. At first he said he wanted to cook you a bowl of porridge, I thought it was really made for you, but then didn't you say that you don't like porridge? I knew he was lying to me again. "

"..."

Xiao Ping said cheerfully: "Before making porridge, he also asked me to teach him how to make the kind I am best at. I said that what I am best at is my favorite, and he said 'then this', and later this bowl The porridge really went into my stomach."

"..."

"Tell me, Ye Li is so young, how can he please girls and behave so skillfully. I definitely thought he was experienced and had been in love several times. Who knew he said he didn't, so I didn't believe it."

Qiu Mu didn't know what to say: "He didn't talk about it."

Xiao Ping said happily: "That's a natural lover? Haha."

"..." Qiu Mu said: "By the way, what have you been talking about recently? You seem to be very happy."

Xiaoping: "He said that I have studied abroad and speak English well, so he will practice oral English with me."

Then the expression on his face was saying to Qiu Mu, "But I know, he must just want to talk to me, so he made an excuse."

Qiu Mu: "..."

When Xiaoping spoke, her tone was a little infatuated.She said happily: "At the beginning, I hesitated because of my age. It's not that I couldn't accept it, but I was afraid that Ye Li would dislike it. Later, I saw that he didn't care, so I didn't care - don't you think his condition is very good?" Okay? If it weren't for being a little younger, I would have fallen into the trap immediately. I have a gentle personality, know how to be considerate, and can take care of others. Although I am still in school, I behave very calmly, which is completely different from those high school students outside. Wearing She dresses very tastefully and looks very handsome. Not to mention her good figure, she is still a top student, so she has no shortcomings at all!"

Qiu Mu listened carefully and nodded unconsciously: "Yes."

"If I can be pampered by him and whisper sweet words to me, I will definitely pass out with happiness." Xiaoping covered her cheeks with her hands and said shyly, "It's great to know him."

Qiu Mu's tone was a little erratic: "Yes... ah."

Although [-]% is impossible.

Xiaoping said in a regretful tone: "Hey, it's a pity that there are too few smiles. Although this looks cool, I still prefer warmer men."

Qiu Mu: "Seldom smiling?"

"Yeah, if I hadn't been sure that he was interested in me, I would have been confused by his serious way of speaking and eyes." Xiaoping shrugged.

Qiu Mu blinked: "...Xiao Li usually talks like this."

Except for him.

Thinking about it, I was suddenly a little proud, because Ye Li would only show a nice smile to him when he was at home, and no one else could see it.

Looking at Xiaoping's eyes, there was a sense of superiority and complacency in an instant.

"That's right." Xiaoping patted Qiu Mu's arm with her hand and said, "By the way, Xiao Mu, have you ever noticed Ye Li's collarbone? Sometimes you see it by accident, and you're really going to be overwhelmed by Su. It's too It's sexy!"

"..." I don't know if it's because she has been abroad for a long time, Xiaoping doesn't seem to think there is anything wrong with talking about this kind of topic with a boy.Qiu Mu said: "I didn't pay much attention."

Xiao Ping said: "You really should take a look. It has the most beautiful collarbone shape among the people I've ever seen. It's a pity that I didn't have a chance to see his figure under the clothes. I don't know what it looks like."

"..."

"Have you seen it?"

Qiu Mu recalled it for a while, and said, "I have seen it."

During the summer vacation, Ye Li would often walk around the house wearing a sleeveless vest, showing two lean and strong arms.Occasionally, I bent down inadvertently, and the neckline fell off, and I could easily see the tight abdominal muscles and the looming mermaid line under the clothes.

Because of regular exercise, Ye Li's body shape and figure are maintained very well, with a tall and straight figure and powerful movements, full of confidence in raising his hands and feet, standing there is a beautiful painting.

It is indeed pleasing to the eye.

Xiaoping repeatedly asked: "How is it, how is your figure?"

Qiu Mu said: "Very good."

"That's great." Xiaoping seemed to have picked up some great deal: "If you have a chance, you must take a look."

Qiu Mu's eyes were strange: "It's not suitable."

Xiaoping was unhappy: "Why is it inappropriate, it won't matter if you look at it twice."

Qiu Mu said: "Xiao Li would definitely not be willing to take off his clothes casually for others to see, it's so strange!"

Xiaoping said: "He's a boy, so there's nothing wrong with it. And even if I don't take off my clothes, I can roughly imagine what it looks like."

Qiu Mu questioned: "How can you think about such things!"

Xiaoping stared at Qiu Mu for a while, and then burst out laughing: "You are too conservative, I can't even think about it! So the boys in China..."

Looking at the smile on Xiaoping's face, Qiu Mu hung the corners of her mouth and suddenly felt a little unhappy.
