Reborn as a woman in a superpowered society: My father remarried and gained an older sister.

After dinner, the table was cleaned up.

The cake that Gu Yuan had ordered was taken out of the refrigerator and placed in the center of the dining table.

Gu Qing didn't have the habit of blowing out candles and eating cake, but she couldn't refuse at this moment.

As everyone sang "Happy Birthday" together, he blew out the candles.

As for my wish—I hope that my family will be safe, sound, happy, and fulfilled in the future.

Afterwards, the family members presented Gu Qing with gifts for her eighteenth birthday.

Gu Qing accepted the gift and cut the cake.

After tasting it briefly, Gu Qing gave his evaluation.

Although the presentation was much more refined than what he made himself, the taste was not much different.

After everyone had finished enjoying the cake, Su Changqin said:

"Xiyue and Qingqing, how are your college application submissions going?"

A long time ago, the family of four held a meeting related to volunteering.

The basic direction and policy have also been determined.

Gu Qing glanced at Su Changqin and Gu Yuan, and finally said, "My first choice is the Philosophy Department of Jinling University. I will not be transferred."

"My second choice is the law department at Han University, and I will accept the transfer."

In fact, with Gu Qing's grades, she basically only needed to apply to her first-choice university.

However, just to be on the safe side, Gu Qing filled in Han University as well.

Su Changqin nodded in agreement.

Although Gu Qing applied to the philosophy department of Jinling University, it was slightly different from what they had discussed before.

However, the philosophy department is also Jinan University's flagship program, and its career paths are quite broad.

Aside from a few positions that require specialized skills, philosophy majors are generally well-suited for these roles.

If one were to enter politics, then the options would be even wider.

"I'm not worried about Qingqing, but what about you, Xiyue?"

Su Changqin looked at her daughter.

Since Gu Yuan and Gu Qing moved in, Su Xiyue has changed a lot. Although her mother, Su Changqin, is usually busy with work, she has noticed it all.

Su Xiyue was much more grounded than before, less impetuous, and more mature and composed.

Having spent so much time with Gu Qing, it seems I've really learned a lot.

"My first choice is Jinan University of Technology, majoring in Electronic Information Engineering. I am willing to accept major adjustment."

As Su Xiyue spoke, she observed Su Changqin's expression.

Su Changqin had always hoped that she could go to her grandmother's alma mater, the police academy.

After seeing that Su Changqin did not show any extra expression, Su Xiyue continued:

"My second choice is Jiangsu Provincial Police Academy."

"My third choice is Jiangsu University."

Su Xiyue finished speaking in one breath.

Based on her college entrance examination scores, Jinxin University still has a certain possibility of being admitted.

The second choice was recommended by Su Changqin, and the third choice was the safest and most reliable option.

After listening, Su Changqin nodded again and said:

"That's good. No matter which university you get into, as your mother, I will support you!"

Su Xiyue breathed a sigh of relief at this moment.

"Thank you, Mom!"

At this point, the application process is officially complete.

After chatting for a while about what happened during the typhoon in the living room, the family of four went back to their respective rooms.

After returning to her bedroom, Gu Qing placed the three birthday gifts she had received on her desk.

After staring blankly for a while, he finally opened the first gift box.

After opening it, a thick book was revealed.

The title is entirely in a foreign language, and the book doesn't seem to be brand new.

Gu Qing glanced at it and immediately understood.

Unexpectedly, Su Changqin gave him a very precious, rare first-print foreign language book with considerable collectible value, and the first page even had the author's autograph.

Although Gu Qing had already read this book, it was still a very good one to collect or keep as a memento.

After putting the book away, Gu Qing opened the gift that Gu Yuan had given her.

He really had no expectations for the birthday gift Gu Yuan gave him.

After all, every year he receives some of the things that a "normal boy" in this world should use.

Things like cosmetics, skincare products, bags, and small accessories are completely unnecessary for Gu Qing.

as predicted.

Upon seeing the red bow with a sapphire in the center of the hair clip revealed in the box, Gu Yuan couldn't help but frown.

After somewhat disdainfully setting the hair clip aside, Gu Qing finally opened the birthday gift Su Xiyue had given him.

He remembered that when they first met, Su Xiyue gave him a pendant.

Although it was expensive, Gu Qing didn't really like it.

I wonder what it will be this time?

92. Gu Qing: Do you want to eat first or eat me first?

The palm-sized gift box was opened.

A wristwatch caught Gu Qing's eye.

"Oh?"

Seeing the shape of the watch, Gu Qing was genuinely pleasantly surprised, even though he hadn't examined it closely yet.

There was a saying in a past life: a man's only accessory is a wristwatch.

Therefore, whether it's to show off status, temperament, or wealth, men at a certain stage will inevitably become interested in this.

Moreover, Gu Qing had worked as a war correspondent for a considerable period of time in his previous life.

To cope with various possible dangers, Gu Qing once owned a military-grade, multi-functional, rugged watch.

Therefore, Gu Qing actually really likes wristwatches.

It is not only used as an accessory, but also as a practical tool.

In this world, the relationships between men and women are reversed.

Women are more likely to wear wristwatches, while men wear accessories such as earrings, bracelets, and rings.

However, men's watches still have a market share.

To Gu Qing's slight regret, the men's watches in this world were just like the women's watches in her previous life.

They mostly follow a glamorous and exquisite route.

It seems to have become nothing more than a decoration.

The one Su Xiyue gave her right now looks quite expensive.

The deep blue starry dial is adorned with small diamonds, and the sun and moon are depicted at the 12 o'clock and 6 o'clock positions.

The slender silver pointer is spinning continuously.

Su Xiyue had clearly figured out Gu Qing's favorite color.

The entire dial is rather delicate, with a touch of embellishment.

Gu Qing felt that he was not composed enough.

However, considering that it was a gift from Su Xiyue, Gu Qing really shouldn't be too picky.

However, there were also aspects of this watch that pleased Gu Qing.

For example, a pure white leather watch strap.

Although Gu Qing prefers brown or black, white is also an acceptable option.
