Bamboo Horse Cultivation Manual [Rebirth]

Shortly after the start of school in September, Qiu Mu and the others left school for a few days for the exam, and went to another city to participate in the second provincial league.

Then, within a week after returning, the second subject exam was about to start again, and Qiu Mu and the others left the school again.

After returning from the exam this time, almost all the students in the class knew that Qiu Mu and the others were taking the national pentathlon exam, and had successfully passed the municipal preliminary exam and entered the second league.

The principal specially asked Qiu Mu and Ye Li to speak at the school morning meeting, and words such as "National Competition" and "Congratulations" can also be seen on the banner posters at the school gate.

This made some students who didn't know the existence of Qiu Mu before, kept their ears shut, and only read the books of sages, completely remembered the names of the three of them in their hearts.

"It is said that there are some universities that can be directly recommended as long as they are ranked first and second at the provincial level."

Ma Bin and Ye Li were in the same class, Ye Li was still in the first class, and Qiu Mu who "got what he wanted" and Gu Yu were in the second class.The trio remained separate.

Ma Bin said: "It's cool to have a good academic performance, and you don't have to worry about many things."

Ye Li: "You guys worry about the college entrance examination and the national college entrance examination, but I worry about the league and finals. Is there a difference?"

After thinking about it, Ma Bin thought, "This is true", and his mentality immediately became balanced.

"It's better to say that because your grades are good, the things you need to worry about are more difficult than ours." Ma Bin said: "Then the exam is difficult."

Ye Li: "Both Xiao Mu and I think it's okay. Xiao Yu thinks this exam will be the last one."

"Even Gu Yu couldn't pass the exam."

In the eyes of others like Ma Bin, Gu Yu is also one of the out-and-out academic masters, a "fairy-level person" who has completed the three-year high school textbooks in her first year of high school, and is able to rank in the top of the grade in the exam without doing homework every day.As soon as they heard that Gu Yu might fail the exam, Ma Bin and the eavesdroppers completely lost the thought of "I'll take the exam, maybe I can get extra points".

"Are you going to take the exam next?"

Ye Li glanced at Qiu Mu, who was waiting at the door, and said, "There is still a math test to take, and the national final is next," and left his seat with his schoolbag on his back, walking towards the door.

Qiu Mu said: "I found a restaurant with a good reputation, let's go eat together."

Ye Li: "Okay."

Qiu Mu looked at him, obviously wanting to say leave now.Ye Li paused for a moment, then turned around and said to Ma Bin who was also walking outside the classroom with his schoolbag on his back, "I won't go today."

Only then did Qiu Mu realize that Ye Li had already made an appointment with Ma Bin.

Ma Bin didn't hear what Qiu Mu said just now, and was obviously taken aback: "Why don't you go?"

Ye Li: "There's something wrong."

Ma Bin glanced at Qiu Mu who was standing beside him, and understood.He suddenly said in a natural tone: "If that's the case, then there's nothing I can do about it."

Qiu Mu suddenly felt inexplicably embarrassed.

Ye Li is willing to choose himself first, which makes Qiu Mu very happy.

But seeing that others accepted Ye Li's attitude of treating him as the first and putting everything else aside, Qiu Mu also felt a little shy.

There is a kind of meaning that everyone understands that to Ye Li, he is a very important existence.The relationship between the two is so good that everyone knows and admits it.

Obviously it was just an insignificant little detail, but it made Qiu Mu secretly happy for a long time.

I called Aunt Huang and told her that I would not go back for dinner this afternoon.Taking Ye Li to a restaurant with a very good environment and atmosphere, the two enjoyed a perfect dinner together.

After eating, Qiu Mu suggested to go shopping for a while and go home, Ye Li nodded and agreed.

Walking side by side on the street, pressing the road together.When you see an interesting place, you go in for a stroll, and when you see something you like, you buy it directly.It wasn't until the neon lights lit up the streets and the sky completely darkened that Qiu Mu looked at his watch and realized that it was almost midnight.

"It's so fast." It felt like the smile on his face didn't stop for a moment this afternoon.

With a smile in Ye Li's eyes, he said, "Yes."

"Go back!" Qiu Mu said reluctantly, "Although I haven't played enough yet."

"Call me anytime you want to play next time, and I will accompany you." Ye Li said.

Qiu Mu looked at Ye Li with a smile, his eyes filled with what he wanted to say.

Ye Li: "What's wrong?"

Qiu Mu blinked playfully: "I just think you're really nice."

Ye Li smiled.

Qiu Mu: "Do you think I'm good?"

Ye Li: "Okay."

"Really?"

"real."

"How good is it?"

Ye Li thought for a while, then smiled and said, "It's very, very good."

Qiu Mu was like a naive child, pestering Ye Li with unnutritious words, and never tired of it: "It's very, very good, how good it is."

Ye Li made a gesture to Qiu Mu: "The whole world is so good."

Qiu Mu clutched her stomach and laughed hahaha.

"Then you're as good as the whole world," he said.

Ye Li: "Really?"

"Ok!"

Ye Li: "What about grandpa and uncles and aunts?"

Qiu Mu thought for a while, and said cunningly: "Well, the whole universe is so good."

Ye Li couldn't help but laugh: "Is there any difference?"

Qiu Mu giggled and said, "Who knows, you decide for yourself."

Ye Li thought for a while, then said, "Then... where is Xiao Yu?"

"..." The smile on Qiu Mu's face slowly disappeared, and the language and movements of his body became dull and restrained. "Little rain..."

Ye Li said: "What's wrong."

Qiu Mu scratched his head with his hands, and said, "I don't know, it feels like I haven't thought of him when I was alone for a long time."

He wasn't sure if such an answer would make Ye Li feel that he was very heartless, so he cautiously looked at Ye Li with probing eyes.

The smile on Ye Li's face did not fade, and he still had the same attitude as before: "Really."

Qiu Mu said embarrassingly: "I'm also very strange, obviously it shouldn't be like this, but it seems that I have changed my sex. One day, I suddenly have no feelings for him."

Ye Li: "Was it like this before?"

Qiu Mu shook his head: "In the past, only when he knew that he had someone he liked, and when he was in a relationship with that person, would his feelings fade a little bit, and he would feel guilty, but he would still like him. Now seeing Xiao Yu like this People, when they hear Xiao Yu's name, they will think of him... never before."

"Oh?"

"But I still like it." Qiu Mu couldn't lie to herself: "The feeling for him still hasn't changed, but that kind of emotion has faded, and sometimes I almost forgot it. But once I think about it, I still regard him as a A crush, not just a friend."

Ye Li said he could understand: "After all, I have liked it for so many years."

For no reason, there is no reason to just forget it.

Qiu Mu sighed inwardly, the brows and the corners of the eyes hung down, looking very sad.

The feeling of liking two people at the same time made his inner self-blame and shame stronger than ever.

But he couldn't start to stay away from the two of them very obviously, and he didn't really want to stay away.

Ye Li said: "If you like it, you like it, if you don't like it, you don't like it. You haven't done anything wrong, let alone hurt anyone, so you don't need to feel that you have done anything wrong."

Qiu Mu looked at him.

Ye Li said: "Whether you like this kind of thing or not is something that cannot be controlled artificially. Apart from silently liking Xiao Yu, you have never said or done anything. There is no need to feel sorry for liking Xiao Yu."

Although what Qiu Mu understood Ye Li wanted to express was somewhat different from what Ye Li really wanted to imply.But the comfort that Ye Li wanted to convey in his words was still well received by Qiu Mu.

He smiled and said, "Yeah!"

When I got home, the outside door was unlocked.There was a glimmer of light in the living room, Qiu Mu and Ye Li glanced at each other, walked forward side by side, and opened the door.

Gu Yu is sitting on the sofa.

Since the last quarrel, the conflict between Gu Yu and his family has not been reconciled.As long as Gu Yu still refuses to give up on Chen Siqi for a day, Gu Yu's mother will not take a good look at Gu Yu.Others tried to persuade them several times to no avail, and they gradually followed the two of them.

In order to make it easier for Gu Yu to be driven out of the house by saying "Get out of my house, I don't have a son like you" after quarreling with his mother. Call Qiu Mu in the middle of the night and ask Qiu Mu to open the door to help the homeless "stray children".

He saw that the two of them were finally willing to come back, and the moment their eyes met, he yelled: "It's too much, you guys are eating hot and spicy food outside, and having so much fun, I can only live alone with the little black dog with."

Ye Li was already familiar with Gu Yu's routine, he took off his school uniform and hung it aside: "What do you want to eat?"

Gu Yu chuckled, "Chow mein, add more ham sausage and corn kernels."

Ye Li rolled up his sleeves and went to the kitchen to make dinner for Gu Yu.

Qiu Mu stood behind the sofa, leaning on the back of the sofa with her arms, and said to Gu Yu, "Auntie won't let you go back again."

Gu Yu is no longer panicked about being kicked out of the quarrel at the beginning, and said calmly: "Yes, the schoolbags are at home, and I have to go back to get them tomorrow morning. Hey, when will I be able to live freely like the two of you ah."

"First of all, you have to be able to do housework by yourself." Ye Li came out of the kitchen: "There are no more noodles, can we eat?"

Gu Yu: "Then I want to eat omelet rice! The kind where the eggs are fried and soft."

Ye Li nodded to indicate that there was no problem, and went back to the kitchen after saying a word.

Gu Yu said to Qiu Mu: "Hey, I don't know how to do housework, it's okay to have Xiaoli, and I don't have to worry about anything if I have him. Xiaomu, can you give Xiaoli to me?"

"..." I knew I was joking, but Qiu Mu just didn't want to answer this question.A joking "Yeah" won't do either.

If it was before, what Qiu Mu was thinking at this time must be why Gu Yu doesn't want me, I can also do these housework.

But now, Qiu Mu's immediate reaction was "Ye Li is mine, no one can take him away from me."

It is already obvious who is the most important person in Qiu Mu's heart.It's just that he himself hasn't reacted for a while, and he is caught between the past and the present, vacillating.

Seeing Qiu Mu's eyes drooping and not speaking for a long time, Gu Yu snorted and said, "Okay, I know you don't want to. Forget it, after I chase Siqi back, I will live a perfect two-person world after getting married, and envy others to death."

These words brought Qiu Mu back to his senses a little: "Well..."

What does it mean to "have to live" a perfect two-person world, the relationship between him and Ye Li should be normal from the outsider's point of view, right?

It seems that Gu Yu likes to make gay jokes more and more recently.

Not long after the end of the provincial league, the higher-ups passed down the results. Ye Li and Qiu Mu passed their respective exams. Although Gu Yu's exam results were good, he missed the final.

"I guessed it would be like this." Seeing the third grade in the provincial chemistry class, Ye Li said, "Sure enough, it will still be very difficult to study the three subjects together."

Especially occasionally, I have to spend my time organizing work and life matters. There is no way to learn all three subjects thoroughly.

"Just concentrate on mathematics and physics for the rest of the time." Qiu Mu said, "Just give up chemistry."

"I think so too." Ye Li said, "But you can try to fight for it."

Qiu Mu thought about it and said, "I'll do my best."

During the conversation, the head teacher of Qiu Mu's class asked Qiu Mu to go out, and seeing Ye Li beside him, he asked him to come with him.

"From now on, you don't have to come to school, just concentrate on studying at home." The teacher said: "The school has granted you two a month's leave. You can do your own things with peace of mind until the exam is over. If you encounter difficulties, come to school directly. , It doesn’t matter which grade teacher you ask, I will give you a detailed answer. Here is our phone number, whether it is morning or midnight, you can call at any time, it’s okay.”

Ye Li and Qiu Mu glanced at each other, Ye Li reached out and took the contact book from the teacher: "Thank you, teacher."

The middle-aged man with a bald head and a wig smiled and said, "Take the exam well and bring honor to our school."

Ye Li then smiled: "Don't worry, sure."

The teacher also explained some more detailed things, such as guessing the general direction of this year's exam questions, as well as the time and place of the exam, and so on.These things, Qiu Mu and the others have long been aware of these things, so it's fine to listen to them.

After returning from school in the afternoon, Gu Yu learned from Qiu Mu that the two of them could have a one-month vacation, and she was very envious.

"If I had known earlier, I would have worked harder. Even if I knew I would fail the final exam, at least I could take a vacation."

Ye Li pointed out: "Just because you have this idea, you will fail the league test."

Gu Yu was so depressed that his face swelled up.

"It's all right now. From now on, I will come to school alone every day. It's fine for you to sleep in at home."

"It's not necessarily possible to sleep late." Qiu Mu said: "Since I passed the league and got a vacation, I need special training."

Ye Li: "There is a special training class for the national finals. Xiao Mu and I plan to go there and have a look."

Qiu Mu: "It was my mother who helped me to contact her. It's over there in Beijing."

Gu Yu was surprised and said, "Wow——are you serious?"

Qiu Mu: "Everyone else should have gone. If we don't go, we will be easily left behind."

Gu Yu thought about it and thought it was the same: "Hey, okay."

Although it is very sad to be separated, when I think that while I am "suffering and studying" here, Ye Li and the others may be enjoying an even more torturous "study hell", my mentality is balanced all of a sudden, and I even gloat: "Hey, Then you guys go for it!"

What they said was exactly the same as the head teacher, but the original intention and intention were completely different.

Ye Li kicked his heel cursing with a smile: "Get out of here."

......

After getting off the plane, the dry air that is completely different from coastal cities like Guangling poured into the tip of my nose.

"I thought Beijing would be more grand." Looking around, Ye Li said, "It doesn't seem to be much different from Shanghai."

Looking at the address on the phone, Qiu Mu said, "The center of a big city basically looks the same", and raised her hand to stop a taxi.

The timing of the two coming was not very coincidental, just in time for a small peak period.The driver uncle is a very talkative person, and his words are humorous. Even Ye Li, who rarely smiles outside on weekdays, is also amused by him.Obviously sitting in the car and waiting is a very boring thing, but here you don't feel the passage of time at all.

When it was four o'clock in the afternoon, the taxi finally took the two of them from the airport to the training center. The older brother with a loud voice sent them two business cards and told them, "Contact me anytime if you have anything to do, and come whenever you want." , Ye Li covered his mouth and let out a "poof" laugh.

"This man is so interesting." Seeing the taxi leave, Ye Li said, "He speaks fast and with a Beijing accent, as if he can sing an opera in a second, hahaha."

While talking, the two raised their legs and walked up the steps.Hearing a lot of things crackling and falling from above, Ye Li looked up, and quickly took Qiu Mu's hand to avoid it.

A silver suitcase fell from the top of the steps. It seemed that I heard the chuckling voices of a few girls, and then clothes, toothbrushes, books, stationery, etc. all rolled down from the top in a mess, bumping on the steps. Jumping, falling and rolling, finally landed at the feet of Qiu Mu and his wife.

A girl with a red complexion chased the dropped things, started to pick them up from the top of the steps little by little, and ran down while picking them up.Seeing Ye Li and Qiu Mu below, she said, "I'm sorry, my suitcase fell..."

Halfway through the explanation, a piece of pink underwear was fluttering in the wind. Under the eyes of both sides, it circled a few times in mid-air, and then slowly floated down in front of Ye Li.

Ye Li took a step back to avoid the oncoming "attack".

The girl's face was blushing enough to bleed.Suppressing his emotions to the limit, he looked at Ye Li with eyes that were about to cry, choked up a sob, and tears fell out.

"Woo, woo, I, I... I'm sorry."

Normally, Ye Li would definitely choose to comfort her at this time and then leave quickly, making room for the girl to sort out her emotions by herself, and avoid troublesome things by herself.

But being ridiculed and laughed all the way by the taxi uncle just now, Ye Li, who was a little kind and outgoing at this time, said: "It's nothing to care about. Everyone has bad luck."

He let go of Qiu Mu's hand and said to the girl: "Pick up the things first, there are still many people watching on the road."

The girl whimpered, nodded, and picked up the things that fell on the steps at a faster speed while crying, and held them in her arms.

Qiu Mu picked up the open suitcase at her feet and put it next to the girl: "Put it in first."

The girl vigorously wiped the water droplets on her face, and threw all the things in her arms into it.

"Thank you."

With Qiu Mu here looking at the things on the steps, she can quickly go down to pick up lighter clothes that have been blown away by the wind.

With a blushing face, he ran to the side of Ye Li, picked up the underwear that fell on the ground at a speed that could see afterimages under his gaze, then nodded slightly at Ye Li, and trotted to the place next to Qiu Mu with the things in his arms. In the suitcase, tuck clothes at the bottom of the items.

In about 5 minutes, almost all the dropped things were found.

The girl carried the suitcase and thanked Qiu Mu: "Thank you, thank you very much."

While talking, Qiu Mu took the opportunity to observe the girl carefully.Qi bangs, ponytail, fair skin, tender voice when speaking, seems to be one or two years younger than them, introverted and reserved, conversations do not exceed three sentences, and will definitely say "thank you" or "sorry", Lively like a timid little rabbit.

Ye Li smiled and said, "It's okay. You are a student here, are you here for training? So are we."

The girl glanced at the suitcases of the two with her big black eyes, her voice was so low that she couldn't hear them clearly unless she listened carefully.

"Are you together?"

Qiu Mu said: "Yes."

"very nice......"

Qiu Mu: "What?"

This sentence is too thin and too light to be captured at all.

The girl blushed and shook her head, and said, "It's nothing, thank you."

Ye Li said: "Go ahead."

The three of them went up the stairs with their respective luggage, and the person standing at the front desk asked, "Is it a student participating in the training?"

Ye Li said: "Yes."

"Tell me your name, and I will register for you here."

Although it is a training center, it is different from ordinary training institutions.This is not the kind of place where you come over every weekend for a class, but a place for national competitions.Students come from all over the country to participate in the training and need to study here for a long time, so as long as they pay the corresponding fees, even the accommodation, meals and other chores will be arranged together.

All students need to do is to concentrate on their studies.

Generally, such trivial matters as registration are handled by Ye Li on behalf of Qiu Mu, so he put down his luggage and walked forward, saying his name to the female administrator.

Ye Li: "Qiu Mu, and Ye Li."

The girl whispered, "Liu Feifei."

The administrator ticked three check boxes on the list, and then said: "My surname is Wang, and you will call me Sister Wang from now on. Boys, wait here, and I will send Liu Feifei to the girls' dormitory upstairs first."

Ye Li nodded his head to indicate that there is no problem.Liu Feifei whispered: "It's okay, there are two of them, let's send them there first, I'll be fine in a while."

Sister Wang was straightforward, she said: "It's okay, just let them wait, you little girl came from other places with such a big suitcase, why don't you take care of it."

Liu Feifei lowered her head in embarrassment, hesitated and couldn't speak.

Ye Li: "You go first, we're fine."

Liu Feifei glanced at him gratefully, said "thank you" again, and followed Sister Wang with her suitcase.

Sister Wang: "Oh, why is your suitcase so shabby, the buttons are all broken and you can't use it, hurry up and buy a new one."

Liu Feifei: "I'm sorry..."

"Hi! You kid, tell me I'm sorry, what are you doing?"

"sorry......"

"Why did you say sorry again!"

The two left while talking.

Ye Li glanced at Qiu Mu sideways, and was about to say something, but saw Qiu Mu kept looking at Liu Feifei's back, with deep eyes as if thinking about something.

"what happened?"

Qiu Mu turned her head, looked at Ye Li, and said, "Ah...it's nothing."

His brows were slightly furrowed, but he didn't let go.
