Bamboo Horse Cultivation Manual [Rebirth]

Unlike the preliminaries and league matches, the results of the national finals came out very quickly.

When Ye Li accompanied Qiu Mu to participate in the chemistry competition, the rankings of the mathematics and physics finals had already been announced.

"National training team? Summer camp?"

Gu Yu said on the other end of the phone: "What do you mean, you guys still want to continue...to participate in the training? Haven't you already passed the exams, you both are first prizes, right?"

Qiu Mu explained: "From the first prize, [-] people will be selected for training to participate in next year's International Olympic Games."

Gu Yu was a little dizzy after hearing this: "Oh my God, International! You guys are too awesome!"

Ye Li: "There is Xiaomu's chemistry exam next, we will go back after everything is over."

Gu Yu nodded repeatedly on the phone: "Enen, come on!"

Halfway through the chat, Qiu Mu's phone beeped twice. After glancing at the screen, Qiu Mu said, "Sorry, Xiao Yu, my mother is calling."

It should also be about the exam results, Gu Yu said wittily, "Well, then I'll hang up first, and say hello to Auntie and me."

Qiu Mu transferred the phone to her mother. After Ye Li and Qiu Mu's mother said a few words, thinking that it was getting late, she didn't bother the mother and son chatting here, and went to the bathroom to put bath water. Adjust the water temperature in the bathtub.

After coming out, I vaguely heard Qiu Mu talking about words like "family", but I didn't hear the details clearly.

After Qiu Mu hung up the phone, he talked about a completely clueless topic.

"The U.S. Secretary of Commerce will visit China next month."

Ye Li blinked: "Huh?"

"Roll roll and say you want to see my parents."

Ye Li opened his eyes wide: "Isn't this a very powerful thing!"

Qiu Mu: "Actually, it's not bad. When the factory was built and put into production abroad, we had several exchanges."

Ye Li thought for a while: "So? Why did you mention this all of a sudden?"

Qiu Mu said: "He came with his wife and children this time, and said he wanted to meet our family, so I might go there that day."

Ye Li smiled and said, "Will the media be present?"

Qiu Mu: "Maybe."

Ye Li: "Then I'll stay in front of the TV and watch you, uncles, aunts, and grandpa."

"..." Qiu Mu lowered her head and said nothing.

Ye Li was puzzled: "What's the matter? Seeing your deep thought, aren't you happy?"

"That's not true." Qiu Mu said, "It's nothing, maybe I'm nervous."

Ye Li joked: "It turns out that you also have times when you are nervous, and the Minister of the United States should really feel honored."

Qiu Mu just smiled.

He looked at Ye Li's hand and said, "How do you feel?"

Ye Li raised his hand to signal: "After removing the gauze, it's much easier."

"Does it still hurt?"

"It hurts and itches." Ye Li: "But it's bearable."

Qiu Mu kept looking at the red and white palm that looked a little scary, and the expression on his face was so complicated that Ye Li couldn't understand.

Ye Li can feel that Qiu Mu has been stuck in his heart recently and refuses to speak out.

I can't figure it out, and I don't say anything when I ask, which is a bit embarrassing.

At night, Ye Li, who had taken the medicine, lay down and soon fell asleep.

Qiu Mu turned around and silently looked at Ye Li's face.

From being unaccustomed at the beginning to seeing Ye Li's face as a matter of course when turning sideways, it only took a week.

Man is a changing animal.

Although I will enter the examination room in two days, I don't feel nervous at all.The brain was divided into two halves, one half was filled with the knowledge points of the exam, and the other half was filled with Ye Li's shadow.

Ye Li, who was sleeping soundly, frowned and moved uncomfortably.Qiu Mu knew that it was the strange sensation on the palm that was stimulating the nerves, making Ye Li unable to sleep peacefully in his sleep.

Gently got off the bed, touched Ye Li's frown with the palm of his hand, and said in a low voice, "It's okay, go to sleep."

Ye Li let out a mumbling raving.

Qiu Mu said, "Are you uncomfortable?"

Ye Li didn't know if he heard Qing Qiumu's words, his lips moved, and a long sound of "um" came out of his mouth.

"It's okay, I'm here." He stretched out his hand and held Ye Li's right hand.

Ye Li felt his body being touched, opened his eyes in a daze, opened a small gap, seemed to catch the other person's figure, then turned around, patted Qiu Mu's palm with his right hand, and continued to sleep: "good......"

Qiu Mu likes to talk to Ye Li, who is in a daze. This is a little fun he discovered after they came out to live together.

At first it was because he was worried about Ye Li, so he couldn't sleep well in the middle of the night, always wanting to see if he would forget to press his hand while sleeping.

Halfway through taking care of him, I accidentally said something to Ye Li, but I didn't expect to get a response.After chatting, they found that the other party hadn't woken up, but was in a deep sleep, and he couldn't remember such a thing when he woke up the next day, so he looked for opportunities every now and then, waiting for Ye Li to sleep, and then deliberately came over to talk to Ye Li. Let's talk a few words and have fun.

"Ye Li, I like you."

Ye Li made a confused voice, half asleep and half awake, his tone was completely opposite to his usual clear and straightforward tone, it sounded extra lazy and soft: "Mmm."

"Really like you."

Ye Li paused there for a long time, as if he had entered a deep sleep again, Qiu Mu squatted beside the bed and looked at him.

Sure enough, Ye Li was a few beats behind in responding.

"Ah."

Qiu Mu slowly curled the corners of his mouth and smiled happily.

He was satisfied after hearing these words, carefully covered Ye Li with the quilt, put his left hand by the side of the pillow, careful not to be pressed by the body or the quilt, then returned to his own bed, and fell asleep comfortably.

The next day, Ye Li went out with Qiu Mu for a stroll, looked at the location of the examination room, and bought some things.We went shopping together until it was almost dark at night, and then we took the car and prepared to go back to the hotel.

Probably because it was time to get off work, there were a lot of people at the bus station.After the car arrived, there was only one vacant seat, and Ye Li asked Qiu Mu to sit on it.

"Give me something." Qiu Mu reached out and took the large and small paper bags on Ye Li's right hand, and hugged them in her lap. "Be careful, don't touch it."

Ye Li let out a "hmm" and put his left hand in front of his body, where no one would touch it.Then he pulled the armrest of Qiu Mu's chair with his right hand and stood quietly.

After passing two or three platforms, there were a lot fewer people in the car, and almost no one standing was visible.Qiu Mu saw an empty seat at the front of the car with sharp eyes, and said, "Ah, there is a seat there."

Ye Li glanced back and said, "It's okay, I'll get off the bus soon, I'll stand for a while."

Qiu Mu raised a smile at the corner of his mouth, lowered his head, and deliberately asked, "Why?"

Ye Li didn't answer, but touched Qiu Mu's shoes with his toes.Qiu Mu's ears turned red, because she was ashamed of this little interaction that happened under the eyes of the public and was unknown.

Seeing that he didn't respond, Ye Li continued to push Qiu Mu's heel persistently, and Qiu Mu kicked back cautiously: "What are you doing?"

Ye Li laughed lightly: "Why are you keeping your head down?"

Qiu Mu whispered: "I always feel embarrassed."

"Why." Ye Li leaned against Qiu Mu's seat, and looked from a distance, as if wrapping his whole body around his chest: "I want to see your face."

Qiu Mu let out a short sound of embarrassment, and simply buried her face in the bag on her lap, no matter what Ye Li said, she refused to lift it up again.

"The time to meet with the Minister is Dec. 20." Ye Li looked at the short soft hair on Qiu Mu's neck, stretched out his hand to stroke it, and said, "Can you come back on Christmas?"

"..." Qiu Mu didn't speak.

"Aren't you coming back?" Ye Li asked again.

"Not sure." Qiu Mu said.

"This year's Christmas, I want to have a good time." Ye Li: "We should celebrate the successful completion of our exams, and... okay?"

Qiu Mu didn't answer, so Ye Li continued talking on his own.

"How about buying a small tree and decorating it with a lot of light bulbs and balls." Ye Li: "I want to take my mother out of the nursing home and let her take a good look at us."

Qiu Mu: "Yes."

"I heard that foreigners can cook turkeys for Christmas. I'll go check out the recipes and see if I can make one."

"it is good."

"..." Ye Li lifted his fingers from Qiu Mu's fair neck, and looked at Qiu Mu with probing eyes: "What's wrong with you?"

Qiu Mu slowly raised his head and looked at Ye Li, with some water in his eyes.

Ye Li said: "...what happened?"

Qiu Mu shook her head with a smile and said, "It's okay."

Ye Li wanted to touch Qiu Mu's face, but he restrained himself from doing so, but pressed his shoulder: "Don't scare me, and don't make me worry."

Qiu Mu wiped the back of her hand from the corner of her eyes, and said with a smile, "It's really fine."

Ye Li's eyes were uncertain, and he seemed a little uneasy.

He didn't understand what Qiu Mu was hesitating about. After so many days, he still didn't take the step that should be taken.Maybe, Qiu Mu still feels that the relationship between the two of them is not enough to move forward and is hesitating.

"If you are hesitant to tell me something, then just say it, I can accept it." Ye Li said: "I am very worried about you."

Qiu Mu raised her hand, gently put it on the back of Ye Li's palm on her shoulder, and patted it comfortingly.

"rest assured."

Returning to Guangling with proud achievements, of course, received a warm welcome.

During this period of time, the two of them traveled back and forth in various cities outside, and to be honest, they were a little tired.Although there is still no way to relax after returning, but breathing the familiar air of my hometown, I feel at ease and at ease for no reason.

In the airport, on the exaggerated and eye-catching red banner, the words "Welcome the first prize winners of the 24th National Mathematics Competition and Physics Competition Ye Li and Qiu Mu back to their hometown", attracted the fiery eyes of passers-by around, and the crowd watched Ye Li and Qiu Mu in the middle felt a little embarrassed.

The principal, the dean, the teachers of the two classes, and some students, such as Ma Li, came to pick them up one after another. The local media held a camera to interview them. Amidst the hustle and bustle, Gu Yu and his family stood outside. Couldn't even get in for a while.

After tossing around like this for an entire afternoon, the two of them, whose saliva was almost dry and their ears were almost calloused, felt that they were more tired than coping with the exams than coping with adults.

Gu Yu said: "My mother and Aunt Huang have prepared a lot of dishes, and we will eat together when you come back tonight."

Ye Li was exhausted and said, "I just want to go back, take a shower and sleep first."

After returning, Ye Li said something to the two of them, and went to the bathroom with his clothes in his arms.Qiu Mu stopped Gu Yu who was about to leave, and said, "Xiao Yu."

Gu Yu still had a joyful smile on his face: "Huh?"

"There's something I want to ask you to listen to."

Sitting on the sofa, he looked across at Gu Yu who had a puzzled expression on his face.Qiu Mu made up his mind.

He has loved this person in front of him for more than ten years, and now he must draw a full stop.In order to completely stop thinking about myself, not to be obsessed with it, but also for the person he likes, to make him feel at ease.

Back then, because of what he hadn't dared to say, what he didn't dare to expose, when he thought it was because of Ye Li, he gained courage.

He wanted to tell the truth in front of Gu Yu, and wanted him to see his real self with his own eyes.

His fingertips began to tremble due to nervousness, he clenched it tightly, forming a fist, lowered his head, and sat silently with Gu Yu.

Ye Li came out of the shower with a trace of exhaustion on his face, but he looked much more relaxed than when he just came back.

Finding Qiu Mu and Gu Yu sitting on the two sofas in the living room, not talking to each other, the atmosphere seemed very solemn, and suddenly a little puzzled.

Seeing him coming, the two raised their heads one after another.

Ye Li said, "Xiao Mu, are you going to take a bath?"

Qiu Mu didn't speak, but waved to him, signaling him to sit beside her.

Ye Li felt that Qiu Mu seemed to have something to say, so he quietly walked over and sat down.

Qiu Mu brewed his emotions for a while, and was silent for a long time.Just when Ye Li thought that Qiu Mu might not plan to say anything, Qiu Mu suddenly said, "Actually, you know what I want to say."

Ye Li thought for a while, and his tone was firm yet uncertain.

"Ah."

Qiu Mu stretched out her hand, and under the surprised eyes of Gu Yu and Ye Li, she held Ye Li's hand and clasped her fingers tightly.

Ye Li's heart began to beat faster, and his pupils shrank unconsciously.He could hear his tense and rapid breathing, ringing in his ears.

"Actually, a long time ago, I vaguely felt that you might have a little affection for me."

Using this sentence as an introduction, Qiu Mu took a deep breath, looked into Ye Li's eyes, and continued: "At first, it was probably because of a look, a look. I found that your attitude towards me is very good, better than anyone else. Be gentle. As long as you turn your head, your eyes are destined to stay on me."

Ye Li didn't speak, but stared at Qiu Mu in a daze.

He found that Qiu Mu looked at him with a naked and lingering love that had never been seen in the past. There was a faint watery light in the eye sockets, and his lips were trembling slightly.So he unconsciously breathed lightly, listened carefully to Qiu Mu's words, and listened carefully to every word and every sentence he said in his heart.

"At that time, I just thought this kind of idea was funny, and I thought that I would be so self-indulgent. But after a long time, this idea gradually became uncertain, so I started to feel a little scared. Because you are my best My friend, so I dare not think deeply, I am deeply afraid that this kind of feeling will deteriorate our relationship."

She didn't dare to ask directly, and she couldn't ignore it. She invested as much emotion as the other party, so Qiu Mu didn't want to embarrass both of them because of her own wishful thinking.So whenever such a "misunderstanding" occurs, Qiu Mu will subconsciously stop thinking about it, thinking that it is just a normal relationship between friends.

"In the KTV bathroom, when you kissed me on the back of my neck, I was very scared. I was afraid that you would really try to change the solid relationship between us as I thought, and even plan to go further." Qiu Mulian The expression on the face is very complicated, and it is impossible to tell whether it is crying or smiling.

"So after I came back, I thought about it alone for a long time."

At that time, he still didn't like Ye Li, and he didn't understand why Ye Li liked him.So I kept thinking that if one day Ye Li really confessed to him, he must seriously refuse.

Because he understands the pain of having a crush on someone, he feels that Ye Li, who silently likes others, is very similar to himself, so he hopes that Ye Li will not repeat his mistakes, otherwise, when he thinks that this kind of pain may appear on Ye Li, he will I feel heartache.

So he didn't say anything, just looked at Ye Li silently, wanting to see if the facts were really as he had guessed.

Then I don't know whether to breathe a sigh of relief, or feel a little regretful, Ye Li behaved normally, and did not show any intention of liking him at all.

"But your behavior is so normal that I can't see anything wrong at all. So I think, maybe I was thinking too much, and I couldn't say a word that I was prepared to refuse."

Wiping away the tears that fell unconsciously from the corners of her eyes with her hands, Qiu Mu smiled and said, "But after that, I suddenly realized that something was wrong with me."

While talking about not liking Ye Li, at the same time worried that Ye Li would be with someone else.If Ye Li didn't wake up the emotion of jealousy, he wouldn't even notice it.

On the contrary, "Ye Li may like me" that had been embarrassing Qiu Mu before, after being proven innocent, became evidence that made Qiu Mu annoyed and made him dare not continue to approach.

Is it really just a misunderstanding?While thinking this way, he enjoyed Ye Li's care.Finally, under Ye Li's inexplicable overcare, it turned into "Maybe Ye Li also likes me, but he is not conscious like me", and his mood suddenly became lighter.

He believed that one day, he would forget Gu Yu, muster up the courage, and tell Ye Li loudly, I like you.

Then this "one day" finally came without warning in Ye Li's casual "next life".

"I'm sorry, I haven't responded to you." Qiu Mu said, "Although I'm still very powerless, I can't give you any honor to speak up to others."

He glanced at Gu Yu who was sitting next to him, who was so excited that he couldn't speak for some reason, and then glanced sideways at Ye Li, trying to keep his voice calm, but still choked up: "Just be my 'family' first, Stay with me and never separate, okay?"

Ye Li looked into Qiu Mu's eyes: "You mean..."

Qiu Mu said: "I want to go with you for the NO.20 meeting."

Ye Li's mouth slowly opened wide.

"Right now, I can only be a friend or a brother, but one day, I will introduce you confidently and loudly to others as a real family member."

The temperature of the palms that are tightly held together is very hot, just like the heart that loves each other.

"I like you more than anyone else." Qiu Mu looked at Ye Li with sincere eyes: "Recently, there hasn't been a day when I don't miss you, and I can't leave you anymore."

"I used to be a cowardly person. I didn't dare to say what I liked. I shrank in my shell and coveted the comfort of self-deception. I understood your thoughts on me a long time ago, but I was afraid that I would never look back after taking this step. I hesitated, and I was deeply disturbed.”

"I thought this kind of life would last forever, but every day I get along with you, I like it a little more. It feels painful to miss you silently, but it will be even more painful when I think that I may not see you in the future. I can't do it again Be patient, I want to tell you what I really think in my heart. Even if you probably already know it."

Qiu Mu lowered her head, looked at the clenched hands of the two, and said: "No matter whether my parents will stop me, no matter what outsiders will think of me, no matter whether there is a way out, I want you to know, and I want you to feel at ease. "

"I like you, I love you, and I don't want to lose you one day. I want to tell you my feelings, and I want you to stay with me forever."

His expression became softer and softer, he looked at Ye Li, and said affectionately: "I like the way you always look at me, the way you always take care of me, the sound of your talking to me, and every moment of your life." One action."

"I want to go to a haunted house with you, and I want you to protect me. I want to sing with you, and I want to hear the songs you sang to me. I want to spend Christmas with you, and I want to decorate our home together. I want to wake up every time I wake up." You were by my side when I came here, and I want to see you all the time. You are in everything I want to do, and I want to have you in every day in the future.”

Ye Li stared blankly at Qiu Mu, tears falling silently.There was a choked sob of joy in his mouth, he took Qiu Mu's hand with his palm, pulled him over and hugged him tightly, as if he wanted to knead this beloved person into his body, the cold water droplets wet Qiu Mu's body. Mu's neck.

"So, what do you think." Qiu Mu said, "Are you the same as me?"

"Of course it's the same. I like you very much." Ye Li's eyes were flushed: "Thank you for making me feel at ease, thank you for giving me this opportunity, and thank you for being willing to love me."

Qiu Mu breathed a sigh of relief, and stretched out his arms to hug the boy in front of him.

"Me too."

The past life can no longer be repeated, he only hopes to be able to hold the present hands firmly, and walk on with the person in front of him.

"It is the luck of my life to meet you."
