The structure A就A,B就B
The structure is used to make sentences like "If you decided to leave, then leave; if you decided to stay, then stay". We can use this structure to emphasize that there are two options: 1) you need to perform either action "A" or action "B"; 2) either one thing or another will happen. In the above structure, "A" and "B" are replaced by either verbs or verb phrases.
Pay attention
A verb phrase is a combination of a verb and an auxiliary word. The auxiliary word can be either an auxiliary verb or an object.

这个东西你卖卖,留就留,自己决定吧
You can sell this thing or keep it. It's up to you to decide what to do with it
zhè ge dōngxi nǐ mài jiù mài, liú jiù liú, zìjǐ juédìng ba
只要她提出来,看电影看电影,买衣服就买衣服,都可以
If she wants to watch a movie, we'll watch a movie, if she wants to go shopping, we'll go shopping. She just needs to choose
zhǐyào tā tí chūlái, kàn diànyǐng jiù kàn diànyǐng, mǎi yīfu jiù mǎi yīfu, dōu kěyǐ
We can also use the structure to form the following sentences: "If you want to eat it, then eat; if you don't want to eat it, then don't eat". "If you can take it, then take it; if you can't take it, then don't take it". We can use this structure to emphasize that there are two options: to do something or to not do it. In most cases, the speaker doesn't care what the result will be.

In this structure, "A" is replaced with identical verbs. If a verb is followed by an object, it is usually placed after the first verb.
