Chapter 29 He was kicked out on New Year’s Eve?
Although the room is not divided into two now, it is almost the same.
The two beds were placed side by side, with a curtain with tracks in the middle, the kind used in county hospitals in those days to separate beds.
She specially bought some nostalgic curtains, which looked like a sheet hanging on the wall.
It’s right to be rustic, because it fits the aesthetic of this era.
As for preparing a bed for Gu Yuelin, she also made it.
Just like mine, it has a latex mattress inside and a tacky nostalgic duvet cover outside, and the same goes for the quilt.
She thought about it, and if Gu Yuelin asked her, she would say it was a foam mattress.
Feng Mian took off his outside shoes before entering the bedroom and placed them on the shoe rack at the door.
I changed into soft cotton slippers before entering the bedroom with wooden floor.
Really, this clean ground has a bit of a farmhouse feel.
Fengmian lay on the soft bed, holding a hot water bottle, and started browsing his phone.
There are still live streamers selling goods on New Year’s Eve. It’s really difficult for them, poor office workers.
Looking at the strings of words floating below, Feng Mian felt itchy and wanted to say a few words of encouragement.
It's a pity that she couldn't send any news.
She had tried it a long time ago and could buy things normally, but she couldn't communicate with the people there. Sometimes she didn't understand the products very well and couldn't even consult the customer service.
I guess the underworld and the world of the living have not yet been fully connected.
She seemed to have gradually gotten used to going to bed early and would fall into a deep sleep after ten o'clock.
After a while, she was awakened by a knock on the door.
She checked the time, it was eleven o'clock, and she fell asleep for a while.
Who is it at this time of night?
Feng Mian put on his clothes, put on his shoes, and slowly walked to the door with an electric baton.
"Who is it?"
Gu Yuelin's voice rang out from the door, "It's me."
It sounded a little tired and trembling.
Upon hearing this, Feng Mian hurriedly put the electric baton back into the space, removed the wood on the top of the door, and opened the bolt.
Gu Yuelin stood at the door wearing a tattered singlet, looking cold.
"Come in quickly."
She took his hand and felt it was cold.
At this moment he was like a pitiful big dog.
Feng Mian was a little angry, guessing that he was bullied by his stepmother again.
She didn't ask him what happened, but was busy taking out the hot water bottle from her quilt and stuffing it into his arms. She then went to the kitchen to light the stove and boiled a pot of water.
After a while, Gu Yuelin recovered.
"Why don't you ask me what happened? Why don't you ask me why I came to see you so late?"
Feng Mian smiled faintly, "You must have had an unhappy year. What do you want to ask?"
Gu Yuelin was stunned for a moment, then nodded.
He also smiled, and sat in front of the stove holding her hot water bottle, watching her put fruits and vegetables on the stove.
"I was a little sad at first, but I'm not sad anymore when I see you."
"Why are you sad? Could it be that you still have illusions about that family and your stepmother?"
He shook his head and said, "This is my last New Year's Eve in that home. I wanted to be happy, after all, I grew up in that home. Although my father was a weak man, he always remembered what my mother said to him before she died. No matter how that woman made trouble, he still insisted on letting me study. I'm leaving now, so I naturally want to leave an impression."
"And she made trouble again today?"
Gu Yuelin smiled bitterly and nodded, "She heard from somewhere that I have two friends in the city who both have formal jobs, and she insisted that I introduce my younger sister to them. That younger sister's personality is similar to hers, and if I introduce her to my friends, wouldn't that be harming them?"
Feng Mian was speechless. This stepmother really took every opportunity to squeeze out every bit of value from her stepson.
Not only did they squeeze him, they even targeted his friends.
