Bamboo Horse Cultivation Manual [Rebirth]

"It's delicious." With a bit of ketchup on his lips and wearing the jacket Ye Li gave him, Gu Yu said contentedly, "Xiao Li, you are too capable."

Ye Li quietly ate his noodles without speaking.

Gu Yu said to Qiu Mu: "When Xiao Li marries his wife, Xiao Mu, you won't be able to eat such delicious food every day again."

Qiu Mu forced a smile: "Yes..."

"I'm really envious of someone Xiao Li likes." Gu Yu said, "Not only is he handsome, but he has a high IQ and EQ. Whether it's study, housework or socializing, he does everything perfectly. I really don't know what he has. shortcoming."

After listening to this, Qiu Mu was silent for a while, and said, "Xiao Yu, what's the matter with you, you suddenly started talking nice things about Xiao Li."

"Isn't this a distraction?" Gu Yu said, "Say something nice to please Xiao Li, so that it will be convenient for him to help me chase Siqi back later."

Qiu Mu smiled awkwardly.

Seeing that Gu Yu was still hanging around after finishing the noodles, Ye Li said, "Go back to the house and sleep."

Gu Yu snorted twice, then slowly got up and left obediently.

Ye Li used the acting skills like an actor, changed his attitude very quickly, and said to Qiu Mu in a gentle tone: "Xiao Mu, go back to sleep after eating."

Qiu Mu nodded and went to the kitchen with an empty plate.

Ye Li followed behind: "It's okay, just let me do the washing."

Qiu Mu was puzzled: "But haven't you taken a shower yet?"

Washing the dishes and taking a shower, how late must I be tossing before I can rest.

Ye Li: "Don't worry."

Qiu Mu looked at Ye Li carefully, and said, "I said...you don't want to sleep with me, do you?"

Ye Li was surprised: "Why?"

"I feel disgusting...something." Qiu Mu held the plate in his hand and stared at the plate, his mood was like a mess of leftover condiments on it: "Sure enough, I still mind."

Especially not long ago, when Ye Li just said "You don't like me", he faced the situation of having to sleep in the same bed as himself.Definitely feel uncomfortable.

Ye Li didn't speak for a long time after listening, Qiu Mu couldn't stand the deathly silence, couldn't help but looked up at Ye Li, only to find that he was looking at her softly, and couldn't help but startled slightly.

"No." Ye Li said, "I don't mind."

"Really?" Qiu Mu tentatively confirmed.

"Well, because it's you." Ye Li said, "So it doesn't matter."

"..." Qiu Mu breathed a sigh of relief.

Ye Li said: "Don't think too much, go to sleep."

Qiu Mu: "It's okay, isn't it very slow for you to come alone, I'll wash it."

Ye Li looked at him with a smile and said, "Okay."

Qiu Mu watched Ye Li walk out of the kitchen and go to the bedroom to get his pajamas. He just heard the two words he had spoken with Gu Yu, and then the sound source was blocked by the closed door.

Qiu Mu turned on the faucet, rinsed the ketchup on it, imagined what might happen next in her mind, and suddenly felt a little embarrassed.

After washing the dishes and cooking utensils, Qiu Mu returned to her room.

After closing the door, and seeing the big bed in front of her, the rosiness that had finally come down appeared again.Blushing and covering his mouth, he stayed there for a while, looked around the room, and began to stand uneasy.

Reach out to spread the quilt evenly, feel that it is unnatural and deliberately crumpled it; put the messy books on the bookshelf neatly one by one, pick up the book again and pretend to sit on the chair to read; stand up Move your body, and then think about whether it is better to lie on the bed first.

After tossing about "self-entertainment" for a while, when Ye Li opened the door and walked in after taking a shower, Qiu Mu was wrapping herself up like a caterpillar, twisting and twisting on the bed.

"!!!"

"?"

look at each other.

Ye Li blinked, and closed the door behind his back: "So you like to sleep like this."

Qiu Mu quickly took off the quilt from her body and explained: "No! I don't!"

Ye Li smiled: "Why are you so nervous."

Qiu Mu felt that she was about to blush again.

Ye Li went to open Qiu Mu's wardrobe: "I remember you still have an air-conditioning quilt here."

Qiu Mu hugged the quilt to cover half of her face, leaned against the bed support behind her, put her legs up and curled up into a ball, watching Ye Li's movements: "Hmm."

"I found it." Ye Li took the quilt and walked around the bed, and walked to the other side beside Qiu Mu: "You..."

Qiu Mu opened his eyes wide: "Huh?"

Ye Li had a half-smile, "Why are you like the little girl in the TV drama who is cornered by villains?"

Qiu Mu was ashamed and annoyed: "Who is the little girl!"

"Would you like me to take a photo to show you what you look like now." Ye Li smiled and said, "It's so interesting."

Qiu Mu's face was hot: "I won't talk to you anymore, I'm going to sleep."

He hugged the quilt and moved down, lying down with his back to Ye Li.

Behind me, I felt the light sinking force of the bed board, and the sound of the quilt being spread out and the cloth rubbing against each other.

After being quiet for a while, Qiu Mu moved his ears.Feeling that I didn't hear any other sound after a long time, I felt a little strange, turned around hesitantly to see Ye Li's movements, but met a pair of eyes that were looking at me with a smile.

I was taken aback again.

"What's wrong?" Ye Li asked knowingly.

Qiu Mu's heartbeat accelerated due to the close contact with Ye Li in this lying state, and he was so nervous that he couldn't speak.

"Your face is so red." Ye Li said.

Qiu Mu: "Who is to blame!!"

Ye Li laughed in a low voice, his voice was very magnetic, with a hint of pampering.Qiu Mu felt that the roots behind her ears were about to burn.

"Don't worry, I won't touch you."

While shy, my heart inadvertently ached.

"......Um."

Qiu Mu looked at Ye Li, and asked in a voice like a mosquito: "Why are you so kind to me?"

"Is it good for you?"

"I feel very reluctant." Qiu Mu said softly, "Maybe, I won't be able to enjoy it in the future."

The corners of Ye Li's eyes curled up: "Why can't you enjoy it? As long as you say something, no matter how far away, I will come over to bring you tea, water, laundry and cooking."

The corner of Qiu Mu's mouth raised slightly: "Yes."

"You do not believe?"

"Letter." Qiu Mu said, "I just feel that you have done a lot for me, but I can't do anything for you."

Ye Li smiled even wider.

If it was Qiu Mu from before, he would definitely not care about these details.

He said: "I think too much. Without you, I don't know what it would be like now."

Qiu Mu blinked.

"What I do, any nanny can do for you. If you really want to compare, it should be that you have paid more for me than me." Ye Li said: "Because I want you to be happy, so This is why I did this, not to make you pay me back, I did these things deliberately."

Qiu Mu said, "You want me to be happy?"

Although he knew that the words Ye Li said contained not only him alone, but also the old man, his mother, etc., but Qiu Mu couldn't help but want to secretly change the object of this sentence into "Only you People, only good for you."

Can't help being intoxicated by it, very happy.

Ye Li: "Seeing you happy makes me happy too."

In Qiu Mu's heart, the deer bumped wildly, thumping, as if it was about to pop out of his chest.

"Yes, is it?" he stammered.

If he went on like this, he would really fall into it completely.

Ye Li said: "Of course it is. If you please yourself, you can only get one piece of happiness. If you please yourself, the happiness will be doubled."

Qiu Mu smiled until his eyes bent into two crescents.

After chatting for a while, Ye Li said, "Aren't you sleepy?"

When she just woke up two hours ago, Qiu Mu was still a little sleepy.Lying with Ye Li now, talking a few words, he will not feel sleepy at all—or, if he can fall asleep quickly under such circumstances, then his nerves are really tough and his heart is as wide as the sea.There is no need to have a crush on others for so many years and torture yourself to the point of pain.

"I don't want to sleep much yet," Qiu Mu said.

Ye Li remembered something, and said, "Today is light rain—"

Suddenly hearing Gu Yu's name, Qiu Mu's good mood stagnated instantly, and the smile on the corner of his mouth unconsciously hung down.

"—What do you think about the matter with Chen Siqi?"

"Ah..." Qiu Mu said, "Well... I guessed it would be like this."

Ye Li: "Yes."

That's what Qiu Mu said a long time ago.

"..."

Ye Li sensed that Qiu Mu's state was wrong: "What's wrong?"

"I don't know what to do." Qiu Mu said: "I have no experience in pursuing people, and I have no clue about this matter, so I don't know what to do next."

Ye Li: "This is the first time I see you have something you are not good at."

Qiu Mu smiled bitterly: "If you don't take the first step in this kind of thing, your experience will always be zero. For so many years, I seem to be standing still without any progress."

On the contrary, all his enthusiasm was wiped out, leaving only "seed shells" all over the place.

——Delicious things are eaten, and as time goes by, the taste of the time is gradually forgotten, and only the tasteless melon seeds are left to remind me of what happened at the beginning, but I don’t know the purpose and feelings of leaving them in the first place .

Love is something that needs to be managed, and unilateral contributions won't last long.He can remember Gu Yu for so many years, thanks to him being by Gu Yu's side and maintaining a close friend relationship with him.

This relationship left him with a little thought of "maybe it will happen", like fat hanging in front of him, luring him to go on day by day.

But now, the relationship cultivated by spending time with Ye Li day and night seems to have surpassed Gu Yu.The emotion has not faded with time, fresh and vibrant, with a seductive aroma.Unlike Gu Yu who "pays one-sidedly", Ye Li treats him even better than he treats Ye Li. This makes Qiu Mu, who has never been treated like this before, feel willing to be tied up by the other party, or "simply Just go on like this forever.”

So thinking that Ye Li might not accept herself like Gu Yu, Qiu Mu felt very uncomfortable.

"Maybe everyone has things they are good at and not good at." Qiu Mu said, "This is my weakness."

"I can see it." Ye Li: "You have performed well in other things and are full of confidence, but this..."

"It's very timid and cowardly, isn't it?" Qiu Mu laughed at herself: "I know, and I thought about changing it, but I just don't have the courage."

Ye Li looked at him.

Qiu Mu: "Do I usually look lifeless? Unlike other high school students, I have no vitality at all."

Ye Li said, "No."

"Why not." Qiu Mu complained to himself: "I have no passion, and I have lost interest in many things. I don't like exercising, as long as I keep my body healthy. I don't have any hobbies, I just want to live every day in a down-to-earth manner The things I care about are how well the people around me are doing, and how much money I have. What other high school students pay attention to, I can't see anything from my eyes. I am so boring, how can I attract others What about the capital? They can only see my appearance, know that I have good academic performance, will make money, have a good family background, and have a good personality, but no one knows the real me."

Ye Li listened quietly.

Qiu Mu said: "So I don't have any self-confidence at all. I have nothing that people like. Xiao, Xiaoyu won't like people like me."

Ye Li looked at Qiu Mu thoughtfully.

Then he said slowly: "If you want me to say it, the troubles you mentioned are not troubles at all."

Qiu Mu: "Why."

"Probably because you have already done it, so you don't think it matters." Ye Li said: "But those 'indifferent external conditions' you mentioned are undoubtedly advantages that most people cannot match. On the contrary, it is 'vitality' ’, ‘passion,’ that sort of thing that any high-energy teen could have, it’s nothing out of the ordinary.”

Qiu Mu: "I don't have one, so I care."

"That kind of thing probably dissipates naturally as soon as it enters the society and starts working, right?" The employees in Qiu Mu's parents' company are completely different from the students in the school, but they are quite close to Qiu Mu.Ye Li smiled: "I think it's good that you are like this. The classmates in the school are noisy all day long, and I am annoyed to death."

Qiu Mu looked at Ye Li.

"Be more confident." Ye Li said: "You have to understand that you are better than most people. This is for sure. I can guarantee it for you. So you will definitely find someone who likes you and treats you as the only one." people."

Qiu Mu: "Really?"

"Really." Ye Li said seriously: "So stop saying things like 'I can't do it' and 'I'm useless'. I've repeated it to you many times, and I feel very uncomfortable after hearing it."

Qiu Mu smiled in relief.

"Thank you."

Ye Li raised his hand, and when Qiu Mu would not resist, he gently touched his forehead: "Don't push yourself so hard, it will be very uncomfortable."

"......Um."

Qiu Mu's nose was a little sore.

He wanted to hear this sentence countless times since his last life, but he didn't expect that someone would finally say it to him now.

"When you comforted Xiao Yu today, you said those words very skillfully."

Qiu Mu was slightly surprised.

"Yes, is it?"

"Have you often comforted yourself by such a person?" Ye Li looked at Qiu Mu with pity in his eyes.

Qiu Mu smiled wryly: "That's right."

Ye Li lay upright, with his arms behind his head, and looked at the ceiling above his head: "Don't think too much, the days ahead are still long, and it will definitely get better."

"..." Qiu Mu looked at Ye Li's profile, hesitated for a moment, and asked, "Well, I have a question for you."

Ye Li: "Yes."

"You said, you won't dislike me, right?"

Ye Li: "Yes."

"What if." Qiu Mu said: "What if one day I don't like Xiao Yu anymore, you, would you be willing to accept me?"

Ye Li smiled, tilted his head and looked into Qiu Mu's eyes: "Where do you mean?"

At the moment when Qiu Mu was about to fight, she suddenly flinched again: "Just, comfort me like you comforted Xiao Yu today. Don't dislike me...whatever."

Ye Li: "Of course I will."

"..."

"Any thing else?"

Qiu Mu gritted her teeth, covered her face with the quilt, hid under the thin quilt, closed her eyes and said, "Then, if I ask you too much, will you do it?"

Ye Li chuckled softly: "What are you asking too much?"

"Like, like..."

Qiu Mu didn't know what to say.

He felt that the top of his head seemed to be gently touched by Ye Li's hand, and the temperature of his palm was conveyed to his skin through a blanket.The position of the cheek seems to be an illusion, but also seems to be real. Something gently brushes past, soft and warm, making people feel that they are cherished.

Qiu Mu was blocked under the quilt and couldn't see clearly. He covered his cheek with his hand in confusion, and said, "What is it?"

Ye Li said, "Huh?"

Qiu Mu blinked, and looked at the quilt in front of him suspiciously.There was a light outside the quilt, and he could vaguely see Ye Li standing upright and sitting on the bed.

Qiu Mu said: "It feels..."

I felt like my face had been touched lightly.

But even if it is touched, it will be fine, right?

Qiu Mu said, "Nothing."

He didn't see it, he stretched out his hand to hold his quilt, Ye Li, who didn't dare to let Qiu Mu get out from under the quilt, was stroking his lips with the other hand, his face was blushing, his eyes were shining with excitement, and his fingertips were nervous trembling.

Ye Li let go of Qiu Mu's quilt, lay down with his back to Qiu Mu, and said, "Go to sleep."

"Ah."

The moment he raised his hand to turn off the light, Qiu Mu seemed to hear a slight sigh of relief coming from Ye Li.It seemed that he was relieved because of something.

"..."

Still nervous about sleeping with him?

Qiu Mu thought so.

Because of Chen Siqi's breakup incident, Gu Yu, who has not reconciled with her family so far, said loudly, "Hey~ what's the matter, let me stay for another two days."

Ye Li: "Xiao Mu will feel embarrassed at night."

"What's so embarrassing for him?" Gu Yu said, "Could it be that while he was sleeping, you did something shady and he found out?"

Ye Li: "Xiao Mu was talking to me just now, should I buy another bed for you?"

Sleeping on the same bed for three consecutive days, even Qiu Mu couldn't bear it. Every night when he slept, he didn't dare to move or stretch his hands and feet, and he had to pay attention to the presence of people around him all the time.

Gu Yu muttered, "No way..."

Ye Li: "It's okay to come to our place during the day, just go home and sleep at night."

Gu Yu pouted, reluctantly said: "Okay."

He spread out the homework that he asked Qiu Mu to bring over from his house, and said, "I didn't write a single word in my homework, please."

Ye Li glanced sideways: "Please what."

"Don't pretend to be stupid." Gu Yu said, "I've helped you so much, it doesn't matter if you copy some homework."

The word "so" is deliberately elongated, and the tone of the speech is particularly exaggerated.

"It's really lazy to the bone, don't fail the preliminary round of the exam the day after tomorrow." Ye Li said while throwing him a few homework.

"I'll try my best, okay." Gu Yu took it with a smile, and then started copying, saying while copying, "Oh, as expected of Xiao Li, the homework is neatly written, and it saves effort when copying."

"Shut up and write yours quickly."

Gu Yu naturally wouldn't be obedient, he said, "Hey, do you want me to help you with some tricks?"

Ye Li didn't speak.

Gu Yu: "I know you must be worrying, how can I let Xiao Mu know your heart."

Ye Li rolled his eyes.

Gu Yu winked at him: "Look, I'll help you later."

As soon as the words were finished, Qiu Mu came back from the courtyard after feeding the little black dog.Sitting on the chair, seeing Gu Yu copying homework, he looked at him helplessly.

Gu Yu pretended not to see what Qiu Mu was thinking, and said to Qiu Mu and the others, "Do you know how I'm learning how to play the guitar this summer?"

Gu Yu is learning guitar, and he doesn't seem to have mentioned this to the two of them.Ye Li spoke mercilessly: "It must be to pick up girls."

"It's so ugly, at least it's for Siqi's favor." Gu Yu said, "Because Siqi likes music, I learned the guitar in order to have something in common with her. As a result, I didn't have time for a single song." Play it to her, eh..."

Because this kind of self-pity scene dialogue happened too many times during this period, so Ye Li habitually ignored the content, and said to Qiu Mu: "Want to drink water?"

Qiu Mu: "Yes."

Gu Yu interjected, "I want Coke."

Ye Li didn't say yes or no, he got up and went to the kitchen.

Seeing Ye Li walking away, Gu Yu was silent for a while, and said to Qiu Mu, "Hey, Xiao Mu, why do you think Xiao Li studied economics in the first place?"

Qiu Mu: "Be interested in this."

Gu Yu: "If you are interested, you will definitely be very happy, right? Just like when I was playing games, my mother agreed to let me play for an hour after reading the book. Leave to write the project, and then he will be so excited."

Qiu Mu pondered: "Mmm..."

In retrospect, he seemed to have never seen Ye Li express how happy he was when he was reading and writing a project—even if the project was successfully completed, he might not show much joy.

So it doesn't seem like he's interested in this.

But this kind of thing is work, what is there to be happy about, just do it.

Qiu Mu thought so.

Gu Yu said: "It's like completing homework, learning for the sake of learning—do you think it looks like it?"

Qiu Mu nodded: "A little bit."

"Then why did he do this?" Gu Yu said, "It can't be because of money. You see, he has so much money and doesn't spend it, and he seems to be more frugal than me."

Qiu Mu smiled: "What do you want to say?"

Gu Yu: "I just want to ask, is it for some other purpose that he proposes to learn the 'same as yours' economics."

He deliberately added an accent to the words "same as you".

Qiu Mu recalled the scene at that time.It seemed that he was reading a book in front of Ye Li, and when Ye Li asked, he gave the book to Ye Li to read.

Later, in order to let Ye Li stay by his side all the time, he intentionally or unintentionally induced Ye Li...

Wait, how did he come up with such an idea at that time?Was he already...

Qiu Mu lowered her head in embarrassment.

Gu Yu urged: "You should say something."

"Huh?" Qiu Mu looked up at Gu Yu and said, "Ah...no way."

Seeing that Qiu Mu didn't understand at all, Gu Yu made it clear: "Isn't it really Ai Wu Ji Wu?"

Because I like the other person, I want to do the same thing with the other person.Because you care about a person, even the things that person cares about come together.Even if you are not interested in this thing at first, you will definitely pay attention to it subconsciously later, and then you will become obsessed with the house.

What Gu Yu wanted to say was this.

After listening to this, Qiu Mu looked at Gu Yu with weird eyes.

"You..." thought for a second, and then immediately "understood" Gu Yu's "correct" meaning, Qiu Mu said: "You want to say, what I learn, and then Xiaoli will follow suit, right?" ?”

Gu Yu has nothing to do with Qiu Mu, a "straight man of steel".

Yes, it is generally impossible to think in that direction because of this level of hints.No matter how fast Qiu Mu turned his mind, it was impossible for him to realize that he was actually referring to something else.

In fact, he had already thought about it, but because the person who spoke was Gu Yu, Qiu Mu who insisted on turning his thoughts back said: "The cause was indeed Xiao Li who I invited, and then he continued to study."

Gu Yu's eyes brightened: "So it's because of you that Xiaoli learned all these things, right!"

Qiu Mu was puzzled by Gu Yu's reaction: "That's right..."

Gu Yu: "Will that be—"

"Click", a cup of steaming coffee was gently placed on the table, Qiu Mu looked up and said "thank you", Ye Li interrupted Gu Yu: "If you want to learn, learn, do you need a reason?"

Gu Yu took the Coke from Ye Li and muttered, "I..."

Am I trying to help you?

Ye Li's eyes seemed to be saying "Don't meddle first", Gu Yu's lips moved, and he continued: "Speaking of which, Xiao Li, you seem to be by Xiao Mu's side all day long, and you can go wherever he goes."

"So?" Ye Li raised his eyes and glanced at him, indifferently said.

"If Siqi and I were in a situation like this, it would make sense. You two are usually too clingy."

Gu Yu's words surprised Qiu Mu a little, thinking that Gu Yu saw something, and was afraid that Ye Li would think too much, but Gu Yu continued: "Xiao Li, don't you always say that you have something to do and no time to play? But every time Once Xiaomu said where to go, you can always find time."

It turned out to be Ye Li.Qiu Mu breathed a sigh of relief.

He looked at Ye Li, wanting to hear Ye Li's answer.

Ye Li refused to admit it and said, "Is there?"

"Yes, why not, obviously." Gu Yu: "You know, I only do this when facing Siqi. Because Siqi said, 'The person who loves you the most in the world is Ken Hua The person who spends time with you. Anyone's time is valuable, and giving you time is equivalent to giving you your own world', so no matter what happens, I will take time to accompany her—even though later. …”

As Gu Yu talked, he poked at his own sad things again, and began to feel sad secretly, and didn't continue to say the following words.

"In short, I think you are very special to Xiao Mu."

After saying this, he fell into a deep depression and couldn't help himself.Ye Li was speechless.

There was still half of the work to be done, and I was so sad and lost by my own words that I couldn't continue.

But for Qiu Mu, somewhere in the depths of the pupils inadvertently lit up.

He was wondering if it would be the same as if he didn't realize his feelings for Ye Li. Ye Li actually had a little affection for him, but he didn't realize it.
