Chapter 76 Something from His Cousin

Feeling the depression in the bed next to her, she moved to the side again.

Gu Yuelin turned off the lights, and his voice rang out in the darkness.

"Mianmian, let's talk."

Feng Mian was startled, then he leaned slightly to ask, "What are you talking about at this late hour?"

"Let's talk about the future."

"future?"

"Um."

No one could see anyone else in the dark, which gave Gu Yuelin courage.

He took a deep breath and encouraged himself in his heart.

Those who are timid can only be contract workers, while those who are brave can become regular employees.

Just when he was trying to discuss with her about converting contract workers to regular employees, Feng Mian spoke first.

"We have all signed up for the college entrance exam, haven't we? In the future, we will go to college first. It's too early to think about what we will do next. Let's wait until we pass the exam."

Gu Yuelin: “…”

"What if I don't pass the exam? Wouldn't it be a waste of time to think about all this now?"

The courage I had finally mustered was poured down on me by her like a bucket of cold water.

Gu Yuelin stopped talking and hummed in agreement.

He really agreed with her idea.

He sensed that Feng Mian had great ambitions.

She lived a refined life and was out of tune with the other people in the village. She looked down on me in the first place. What if she passed the exam and I didn't? It would be better not to say anything.

I slept uneasily that night, tossing and turning, and it took me a long time to fall asleep.

On the second day, neither of them mentioned the embarrassment of sleeping in the same bed.

But Feng Mian saw that Gu Yuelin looked more haggard after one night's rest than after three days of train ride. The bags under his bright black and white eyes had grown much bigger.

"This hotel provides breakfast. Let's eat first and get something later."

"Ya."

Although the hotel is expensive, the service is good.

There are various side dishes, steamed buns, eggs, and various porridges for breakfast. There are dozens of kinds in total, which can be said to be very varied.

A few people nearby were eating and stuffing their food, and from time to time they would say, "Big cities are just different."

Gu Yuelin looked up at Feng Mian. Even he had the thought that since he had only spent ten yuan, he should eat more, but Feng Mian did not think so.

He noticed that Pei Fengmian was still eating slowly and not eating much.

"Let's not take the train back to Dong." Her feet were still a little swollen, and the thought of sitting there for another three days was scary.

"So how do we get back? Take a plane?"

"Yes." Feng Mian said, "You can book air tickets in this hotel. I asked, and it's ninety yuan per person in our city."

It is a bit expensive, equivalent to three months' salary for an ordinary person.

But Feng Mian can afford to sit up.

"Okay, I'll listen to you."

After dinner, the two picked up a package according to the address.

They had to go through all the customs signatures and stamps, the embassy signatures and stamps, and they almost ran themselves ragged to get the package. It took them from morning till evening to get it back.

At noon they only ate two buns to fill their stomach.

After returning to the hotel, Gu Yuelin began to unpack the package.

Only then did I realize that the package was layered with words from more than one language.

Gu Yuelin said: "This package went through three countries before it arrived in our hands."

"Why is it so troublesome?" Feng Mian didn't fully understand the situation at that time. He really didn't know that it was so troublesome to pick up a package from abroad at this time.

"Well, we don't have diplomatic relations with Country M right now. Although direct communications and phone calls are not completely banned, it is easy for something to go wrong."

Feng Mian understands what he means by if something goes wrong, he might put some damn accusation on you.

"You said you were sending you money, I thought it was a remittance slip. Could the money be in this package?"

"yes."

As he spoke, he opened the cardboard box. Inside were several books, two tapes, a letter, and money sandwiched between the pages of the books.
