Bamboo Horse Cultivation Manual [Rebirth]

"Wait." Ye Li called Qiu Mu to stop.

Qiu Mu opened her eyes slightly, suppressed her excitement, turned around and looked at Ye Li in a puzzled manner.

He thought that Ye Li was finally willing to tell him the truth.Who knew that Ye Li suddenly pulled him over with his palm, and then pressed him on the bed under Qiu Mu's surprised gaze.

Qiu Mu was a little frightened and said, "No, what are you going to do?!"

Ye Li remained silent and stretched out his palm to touch Qiu Mu's cheek.

Qiu Mu watched him touch her, and looked at Ye Li without blinking. For some reason, her body stopped struggling.Then Ye Li pulled him, made him lie flat on the bed, gently lifted his head, and placed it on the pillow.

"..." Ye Li's body temperature was still on the bed, while Qiu Mu panicked, she probably sensed what Ye Li meant, and calmed down a little.

Ye Li really put the quilt on Qiu Mu's body lightly, looked at him and said, "Go to sleep, I'll watch you right here."

"..." Qiu Mu reached out and pulled the edge of the quilt, covering half of her face with the quilt, only revealing a pair of eyes: "Are you going to say something?"

Ye Li: "We'll talk about it when we wake up."

Qiu Mu: "I won't be able to sleep if I don't talk about it."

Ye Li comforted him, "Hey, go to sleep."

Qiu Mu stretched her eyelids open, resisting the drowsiness: "Don't sleep."

Ye Li was helpless, he said to Qiu Mu: "Why are you becoming more and more like a child, not childish."

Qiu Mu: "So what's wrong with being childish?"

What else can be done, Ye Li has nothing to do with the cheating Qiu Mu.

He sighed: "well, what do you want to say."

Qiu Mu looked at his face and observed his expression carefully, not letting go of any slight changes: "Do you think I treat Xiaoyu better than you, so you are angry?"

Ye Li thought about it seriously and said, "Yes."

Qiu Mu couldn't help but said: "How can you be angry because of this, Xiao Yu is Xiao Yu, you are you, how can you two compare."

Ye Li said: "Why can't you be angry, don't you know how the word 'emphasize sex over friends' came about."

Qiu Mu was amused by this sentence: "You are so troublesome——well, I won't be partial to Xiao Yu's head office in the future."

Ye Li pointedly pointed out: "If you say that, in fact, you will still turn to him."

Qiu Mu stopped talking.

After a few seconds of relative silence, Qiu Mu whispered, "Is this not okay? If I continue like this, will you keep ignoring me?"

Ye Li: "You guess."

Qiu Mu roguely twisted her body under the bed sheet and said, "I don't want to guess, I just want to hear you say no."

Ye Li's tone was very serious: "You can't ask everything to go according to your own wishes."

After hearing this, Qiu Mu felt very hurt.

"..." Ye Li slowed down his tone: "Anyway, no matter what my attitude is, what I usually do or what happens, we can still get along well, can't we?"

Qiu Mu said, "Not good."

"why."

Qiu Mu: "It's not good at all. If you get angry with me because of this, I will feel bad and I won't be able to sleep well."

The problem returned to the original point again, and the contradiction between the two entered an endless loop.

Ye Li said: "Then after you and Xiao Yu are together, I will leave the head office directly."

Qiu Mu's eyes widened: "What? No way!"

Ye Li: "What do you mean you can't, you can't be with Xiao Yu, or I can't leave."

"You can't leave!" Qiu Mu said anxiously in her voice, "You can't do this."

Ye Li: "Qiu Mu, how can you be so cruel. Knowing that I will be unhappy seeing you being nice to Xiao Yu, do you still insist on forcing me to watch the picture of you and him loving each other?"

Qiu Mu couldn't help but lifted the quilt and sat up: "This, is this my fault? As long as you see me and Xiao Yu together, don't be unhappy."

Ye Li asked back: "Then when you saw me and sister Xiaoping together a few days ago, can you not be unhappy?"

Qiu Mu choked.

Ye Li said: "How can you ask others to do something that you can't even do yourself."

Qiu Mu lowered her head in shame.

"But you can't say something like leaving." Qiu Mu whispered, "Isn't it too much?"

Ye Li: "I can't stay by your side forever."

Qiu Mu raised her head with complicated eyes and looked at Ye Li.

Ye Li looked back at Qiu Mu, and the two looked at each other for a long time.Ye Li thought for a while, then hesitated: "I actually thought about something for a long time, but I was afraid that it would embarrass you if I said it, so I didn't say it."

Qiu Mu said: "What are you talking about?"

Ye Li hesitated for a few seconds, not sure if he should speak, but he still said, "I was wondering, maybe you fell in love with me."

"!"

Ye Li explained: "Don't think about it too much, I'll just say this, without doubting your intentions."

Qiu Mu felt his heart beating faster suddenly, and his eyes went blank for a moment.There was buzzing in my ears, and my head was dizzy for a while.

Ye Li said: "After all, what happened to Ma Bin last time, and what happened to Miss Xiaoping this time, you acted too strangely, as if you were jealous."

Qiu Mu stared straight at Ye Li, as if she had listened, but also didn't.Wandering around the world, I don't know what I'm thinking.

Ye Li continued: "Then you seem to have high demands on me. If it's just a friendship, you have no reason to let me not only take care of you in action, but also always think of you in my heart. An ordinary friendship will be like this Domineering?"

Qiu Mu's body softened, and she leaned against the backrest at the head of the bed, her mouth was open, she was speechless as if she was dumb, and her breathing rate was disordered.

Ye Li looked at Qiu Mu searchingly, and leaned slightly towards him: "What's wrong with you?"

Qiu Mu seemed to be frightened, and hurriedly hid: "What, what?"

"..." Ye Li stopped because of Qiu Mu's overreaction, looked at Qiu Mu's pale face, and slowly retreated.

Seeing that the distance between Ye Li and him had widened, Qiu Mu took the opportunity to dive down and quickly hid in the quilt, wrapping her head and body in the quilt to hide.

A muffled voice came from under the quilt: "I want to sleep, can you go out first."

"..."

There was no movement from Ye Li for a long time, and then there was a slight sound of getting up.He said: "Okay, you go to bed first, and we can talk when you have time."

Qiu Mu curled up his body into a ball, his arms were holding his head, and his eyes were flickering while hiding under the quilt.

It wasn't until he heard the sound of Ye leaving the door and closing it that his tense nerves finally eased a little.As if lacking oxygen, he threw off the quilt abruptly, sat up, and kept shaking his head.

"No, no."

how so.

Couldn't help squatting on the bed with her legs hugged, Qiu Mu hugged her head and began to think.

Could it be that he really had feelings for Ye Li other than family affection and friendship?

Otherwise, how could he be wary of all the people who are close to Ye Li, and say abnormal words to belittle those people; And San asked Ye Li to guarantee that he was sincere to him and could not be perfunctory.

The answer is actually obvious, but because the relationship between the two of them is so good and too familiar, it is completely unknowingly subtle to get to where they are today, so Qiu Mu never thought about this possibility at all.

Unconsciously talking and doing things to embarrass Ye Li again and again, and finally forced Ye Li to say "Do you like me?"

Ye Li must have felt very embarrassed just now, if he hadn't been driven to the point where there was no way out, Ye Li would have chosen to continue to endure.

Thinking of this, Qiu Mu couldn't help feeling ashamed of herself.

What did Ye Li think?Did he feel that Qiu Mu, who said he liked Gu Yu, but secretly transferred his love to another person, behaved dirty, and felt disgusted by it?

The estrangement during this period is proof.

Will he feel disgusted by being liked by someone who only regards the other party as a friend, will he stay away from it, and even disappear silently one day.

disappear?

No, this is the only thing that can't, this is absolutely not, just being treated coldly has already caused him so much pain that he can't think about food or food for so long, if Ye Li really leaves, he will definitely go crazy!

Whether it's just being friends, he absolutely doesn't want Ye Li to disappear and leave.

"I didn't realize it until now, and I asked Xiaoli to remind me."

Unconsciously doing so many embarrassing things for Ye Li, Qiu Mu felt ashamed when he recalled his words and deeds.

Suddenly there was a knock on the door, and Qiu Mu trembled in surprise, staring at the door, and after a second of stunned, she quickly got back under the covers and hid.

There was a soft knock on the door.

Qiu Mu pricked up his ears to listen, and then from the subtle footsteps, he could distinguish the identity of the other party.

It's Ye Li.

What is he doing here?

Qiu Mu bit her lip tightly, not daring to move.

Ye Li's voice came from outside the quilt.

"Grandpa and I went for a walk and came over to change."

His volume was deliberately lowered, probably because he was afraid of disturbing Qiu Mu and waking him up from his sleep.

Seeing that Qiu Mu didn't respond, Ye Li turned around and closed the door, then opened the closet and began to change clothes.

The rustling sound of fabric rubbing came from not far away, and occasionally I could feel the pressure of the clothes placed on the corner of the quilt. Qiu Mu lay on the bed with a red face and pretended to be asleep, and her ears unconsciously caught Ye Li's voice. movement.

After 2 long minutes, Ye Li changed his clothes, opened the door and went out.Qiu Mu pressed her face with her hands in shame, and let out a roar of collapse in her heart.

He was so nervous even though he was just standing by his side and changing clothes.After realizing my own intentions, it seemed that ordinary things became special.

While thinking this way, he held the corner of the quilt tightly and carefully sniffed the fragrance on the quilt.

It's obviously the same shower gel smell as his own, but as long as he thinks that this smell was still lingering on Ye Li's body not long ago, his heart beats faster.

It's crazy.

......

At noon, Ye Li came over and asked Qiu Mu to get up.

Qiu Mu opened her eyes and saw Ye Li's eyes that were deep, like the eyes of ancient springs, her heart trembled suddenly.

Fortunately, he had already done a lot of mental construction for himself before going to bed, so when facing Ye Li himself, he showed his normal level of dealing with people, sat up naturally, and rubbed his eyes: "What time is it... ..."

I don't know if it was Qiu Mu's illusion, but he felt that Ye Li's eyes seemed to be closely attached to his face, observing his expression.Quickly raised all attention to ensure that Ye Li would not see the flaws.

Ye Li said: "It's almost twelve o'clock, go wash your face and eat later."

Qiu Mu yawned and nodded lazily: "Okay."

"..."

Qiu Mu looked at him calmly and said, "What's wrong?"

Ye Li looked away and said in a low voice, "It's okay."

"Oh." Qiu Mu got off the bed: "I'm going to change clothes."

"..."

Walking out of the room, Qiu Mu clenched his fists to cheer himself up and made a great gesture.

After he figured out the reason, Qiu Mu would no longer be messed up by his ignorant emotions like he was a few days ago. His behavior just now should be normal, and Ye Li didn't notice that something was wrong, so that's fine.

Although he knows that it is shameless to like Gu Yu and secretly admire Ye Li, but he is not a robot, he can't say "don't like it" to himself, and he can cut off his love immediately, and he can immediately cut off his love if he doesn't care. don't care.

In this case, don't say anything, just like when you get along with Gu Yu, let's get in touch naturally, don't do anything, so that everyone can be well.

After all, it was different from Gu Yu's situation. After he returned, he lived with Ye Li.Every day I look up and look down, if I really want to let Ye Li know that I actually like him secretly, getting along with him will definitely be more embarrassing than confessing to Gu Yu.

When speaking, he would think "Ye Li knows that I like him", and then he would be so nervous that he could not speak, fearing that he would say something beyond the limit.

When doing something, he would think "Ye Li won't misunderstand that I touched him on purpose", and then he would start to care about the distance between the two when he got a little closer.

When asking Ye Li to fetch him slippers and pour a glass of water to buy something, he still has to worry about "what if Ye Li thinks I like him and makes him do this and that with arrogance", and then he has to go through every action. Think carefully before doing it.

Such a life must be painful.

Thinking about it carefully, he was also very happy when he was with Ye Li before. He didn't feel dissatisfied with that way of getting along, so he was completely happy that such a life could continue forever.

After changing clothes and coming out, Qiu Mu glanced into the living room, saw Ye Li coming out of the kitchen with dishes, and asked, "Where's grandpa?"

"The doctor called in the morning and informed Grandpa that it's time for a physical examination. Sister Xiaoping accompanied Grandpa to the examination and should eat outside at noon." Ye Li explained.

"That's it." Qiu Mu turned to wash in the bathroom, raised her voice a little and asked Ye Li in the distance: "What dishes do you cook?"

"Ah."

Qiu Mu: "Everything."

Ye Li: "You fell asleep and didn't know what you wanted to eat, so I just bought some."

After Qiu Mu washed his face, he walked to the dining table, and Daxian's table was indeed filled with his favorite food.

Obviously similar things have happened many times before, but when I saw it now, I suddenly felt a little sweet in my heart.

Is he being taken care of by Ye Li?

Ye Li put the bowl full of rice in front of Qiu Mu, handed over the chopsticks, and Qiu Mu reached out to take it.

"You are too virtuous." Qiu Mu said after eating a good meal, "Every household should have one."

Ye Li laughed when he heard this.

Qiu Mu said, "What do you want to do this afternoon?"

Ye Li: "I haven't thought about it."

"Do you want to go to the company?"

Ye Li had no objection: "Okay."

Qiu Mu glanced at Ye Li, Ye Li noticed his gaze and looked back.

"..."

The air was silent for two seconds, and Qiu Mu said, "This dish is delicious, and your skills have improved."

Ye Li frowned slightly calmly, and said, "Really. Try to make it with a new method, and it will taste softer when you eat it."

Qiu Mu: "Did Miss Xiaoping teach you?"

Ye Li nodded: "Yes."

Qiu Mu smiled and said, "That's great, I benefit from your learning."

"..."

Ye Li lowered his head, looked at the rice bowl in front of him, and said, "Let's eat first."

Qiu Mu: "Well, I went to bed without eating in the morning, and my stomach was already hungry."

"I feel like you're in a better mood."

Qiu Mu laughed and said: "Did you see it? It really is the reason for lack of sleep! After a full sleep, you will be more energetic, and your mood will not be depressed, and you won't think about things."

"..."

Ye Li smiled with the corners of his eyes bent: "That's good."

"..." Qiu Mu looked at Ye Li's expression, and was relieved to see that his expression was normal.

It looks like he got away with it.

After all, the target is that Ye Li, even in order not to make the atmosphere awkward, he will definitely not casually mention what happened in the morning.So as long as I don't say it, then that matter will never be brought to light again.Their relationship has always been safe.

"Let's go back in two days." Qiu Mu said, "I miss Xiao Hei."

Ye Li: "Okay."

Qiu Mu: "I don't know if Xiaoyu takes it for a walk on time every day. It will be troublesome if it gets fat again, haha. After all, it doesn't listen to anyone except you."

Ye Li raised the corner of his mouth and said with a smile: "Yes."

There was no smile in his eyes.

"By the way! It's been a long time since I took the initiative to contact Xiao Yu. I'll make a call and ask."

Ye Li squeezed the chopsticks harder and harder, making a subtle "creak" sound.

Qiu Mu took out her mobile phone, looked at the screen to find a contact, and raised her head suspiciously when she heard a sound.

Ye Li looked back with a smile, indicating that nothing happened.

Qiu Mu lowered his head again, long pressed the number "1", and put it next to his ear.

Ye Li looked at him silently.

Qiu Mu said: "Xiao Yu? Well, have you eaten yet?"

After Gu Yu said something, Qiu Mu's eyes widened unconsciously, with a look of ecstasy on his face, but his voice was completely opposite with a bit of worry and regret: "...Really?"

Ye Li: "What did he say?"

Qiu Mu smiled happily at him, pressed the PA button and placed the phone on the table.

Gu Yu's voice came from the other end of the phone, crying feebly: "...Tell me that you want to break up."

Although I only heard half of the words, the key information has already been spoken.

Seeing Qiu Mu stand up excitedly, turn around the table for half a circle with the mobile phone as the center, and then say "it's a pity" inappropriately.Ye Li's heart sank fiercely, as if his brain had been hit hard by someone, he lost consciousness, and his soul came out of his body in a trance for a moment.

Yes, Qiu Mu will definitely be happy, isn't it normal.What's so sad about it now.

Qiu Mu kept comforting Gu Yu on the phone, promising that she would go back to accompany him as soon as possible, the blood on Ye Li's lips faded, and his eyes became darker and darker.

After Qiu Mu hung up the phone, Ye Li looked at Qiu Mu silently. Qiu Mu still had a look of joy on his face. He was holding the phone and was about to talk to Ye Li about his joy. The moment his eyes met Ye Li, suddenly Kaku paused.

Ye Li smiled and said, "Congratulations."

"..." Qiu Mu blinked quickly, put away her phone and sat back on her seat: "Yes."

Suddenly, he didn't really want to talk to Ye Li about Gu Yu.

why?

Qiu Mu thought of an excuse: "You don't like hearing me talk about Xiao Yu, so I won't talk about it in the future."

Ye Li seemed to have no reaction: "Oh, it's okay."

It's ok?

Qiu Mu became unhappy again with changing moods.

It doesn't matter what it means, does it make no difference to you who I'm with?

Yes, after all, he is just Ye Li's friend, so he has no position to intervene in love matters, and there is no need to intervene.

"..." Qiu Mu said: "But didn't you say before that you don't like to see Xiao Yu and I get along well in front of you?"

If you think about the bright side, maybe Ye Li is also jealous?

Ye Li: "About this topic, when I went out for a walk in the morning, Grandpa happened to chat with me."

Qiu Mu straightened her waist unconsciously: "What did you guys talk about?"

Ye Li said while eating: "Grandpa said something, I think it makes sense. Thinking about it carefully, what I did a while ago was actually quite naive. I felt unbalanced because of Xiao Yu, and then deliberately alienated you ——As you said, he is him and I am me, there is no need to compare, and there is nothing to compare.'

Qiu Mu bit her lips with complicated emotions: "..."

Ye Li didn't look at him, he was eating the rice in the bowl calmly.

"It's just like when we usually say two unpleasant things about Chen Siqi, Xiao Yu doesn't care whether it's true or not, but he will immediately refute us when he hears it." Ye Li said: "It's normal for you to talk to Xiao Yu, I should I understand you."

Qiu Mu lowered her head in frustration.

Ye Li said: "My relationship with you is like brothers, there is no need to care about such things among family members. Grandpa said that you are sad because of me. I think it is not right to think about it. I will not do this again in the future." gone."

"..."

Ye Li: "So don't stay up late, and don't be unhappy."

Qiu Mu slowly put down the bowls and chopsticks in her hand, and suddenly wanted to cry.

Seeing Qiu Mu stop eating, Ye Li asked, "What's the matter? Is it not to your liking?"

Qiu Mu shook her head: "...I don't really want to eat it."

Ye Li: "But you just said you were hungry."

Qiu Mu raised his head, looked at Ye Li, and said, "Maybe I'm too hungry, I don't have much appetite."

Ye Li: "That's not okay, you didn't—"

Qiu Mu stood up without waiting for Ye Li to finish speaking. Ye Li followed him away from the dining table and turned to the direction of the bedroom: "Well, I will come out to eat later when I am hungry. You can eat first, no need Leave me alone."

Ye Li frowned: "Your body—"

Qiu Mu closed the door to block Ye Li's voice, the thick door made him unable to hear what was behind.

Leaning against the door, Qiu Mu lost most of his strength, and his expression was full of exhaustion.

"Family..."
