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

Moreover, compared to metal watch straps, Gu Qing prefers a more casual leather material.

I tried the watch on my wrist, and it wasn't very heavy.

Gu Qing's wrists are rather slender, which matches the watch quite well.

If it were a men's watch with a grand, imposing style like the one from his previous life, Gu Qing would probably find it difficult to pull off now.

It's like a child wearing an adult's suit.

"not bad!"

Gu Qing finally nodded in satisfaction.

Even though he doesn't have a phone addiction, he definitely needs a wristwatch.

After thinking for a moment, Gu Qing took out his phone and sent a WeChat message to Su Xiyue, who was right next door.

"Thank you for the gift, I like it very much."

After sending it, Gu Qing took another photo of her wrist.

Su Xiyue replied to the message shortly after.

"I'm glad you like it, Gu Qing!"

In the next room, Su Xiyue, who was lying on the bed, sat up in surprise.

She carefully considered and meticulously selected a gift for Gu Qing's eighteenth birthday.

According to her analysis, Gu Qing probably doesn't like some of the things that typical boys like.

Such as accessories, cosmetics and skincare products, or the latest mobile phones.

Gu Qing's hobbies are more like those of a middle-aged woman.

I enjoy drinking tea and reading.

But Su Xiyue didn't understand these things very well.

Ultimately, the wristwatch Su Changqin was wearing gave her inspiration.

The colors are Gu Qing's favorite blue and black and white, with as few flashy elements as possible.

She knew that Gu Qing preferred something more practical.

That's how this watch came about.

As for the price... she used the two thousand yuan she had saved up, plus the thirty thousand yuan her mother helped her with.

……

Time quickly moved to the latter half of July.

The sweltering heat has arrived, with average temperatures reaching 31 degrees Celsius for several consecutive days.

Su Xiyue didn't want to go out; she just wanted to stay home, enjoy the cool air conditioning, play on her phone, and savor the chilled mung bean soup made by Gu Qing.

Unfortunately, today is her driving test day.

Once she successfully passes the fourth part of the driving test, she will have a driver's license.

Moreover, she remembered that if she got her driver's license, Gu Qing would have to call her "sister".

She imagined Gu Qing wearing an apron, looking at her with a blushing face, and shyly saying, "Sister, you're back. Shall we eat first, or should we eat me first?"

Such a scene always excited Su Xiyue for quite a while.

"Gu Qing, just you wait until you call me 'sister'!"

Before leaving, Su Xiyue said with a hint of smugness.

Watching the girl leave, Gu Qing simply shook his head, unable to understand why Su Xiyue cared so much about the title "older sister".

Gu Qing had originally planned to get her driver's license during the summer vacation.

But the heat this summer was really excessive. For someone who already knows how to drive and only needs to go through the motions, it was really not worth the time to practice driving in the sweltering heat.

Moreover, there is currently no environment that requires him to drive.

For this reason, Gu Qing postponed taking her driver's license test until the winter break.

I just hope it won't be too cold then.

After Su Xiyue left, Gu Qing didn't stay idle either.

After thoroughly cleaning the bathroom on the second floor, I also washed my everyday clothes.

They also washed Su Xiyue's dirty clothes that she had changed out of.

Consider it payment for Su Xiyue washing his socks.

After finishing all that, Gu Qing braved the scorching sun to water the roses in the courtyard.

After a period of regrowth, new flower buds have appeared on the branches of the rose bushes.

Before heading to university, I'll probably be able to enjoy the garden full of roses again.

Gu Qing, who had just finished watering the flowers, heard the doorbell ring before he could even go upstairs.

Upon opening it, he found it was the property manager he frequently dealt with.

Since Gu Qing was in charge of the household supplies and groceries, she was quite familiar with this property manager; in fact, she could say she knew her well.

The property manager is a middle-aged woman surnamed Huang who wears a women's business suit even in the sweltering summer heat.

"Young Master Gu, these are some sweet watermelons that arrived this morning. I heard they're a new variety that just hit the market, and the property management gave some to every household."

Butler Huang held Gu Qing in high regard.

It's not just because the owner of this villa is one of the top leaders in Los Angeles.

Furthermore, having met Gu Qing many times, she knew that although Gu Qing was young, she was also very beautiful.

However, he has a very calm personality and his manners are very elegant.

Overall, she is very well-mannered and has excellent character, unlike some other second-generation rich kids she has met who are completely unpretentious.

"Thank you for your hard work, Butler Huang. Have some water!"

Watching Butler Huang put the watermelon he brought into the refrigerator, Gu Qing handed him a bottle of ice water.

"Thank you, Mr. Gu. I've heard this watermelon tastes very good. If you need any, just let me know, and I'll make sure to give you priority!"

Butler Huang took the water and waved goodbye.

"Is this a new variety of watermelon? Let's all try it tonight!"

Looking at the chilled watermelon, Gu Qing made up her mind.

The central air conditioning was blowing cool air, and the cicadas' chirping and the summer heat were a perfect match for watermelon.

93. Alone with each other

Gu Qing lived alone in the huge villa.

Loneliness is not bad.

In particular, Gu Qing learned to enjoy being alone a long time ago.

A pot of tea, a book, and a stick of incense given to him by Su Xiyue—this is Gu Qing's life alone.

As the sun set, it wasn't Su Xiyue, as expected, who returned home first, but Gu Yuan.

Since marrying Su Changqin, Gu Yuan's work has undoubtedly become much easier.

Even if he wanted to work overtime, the company boss firmly refused.

In the words of the company boss, "If you want to earn more money, I'll give you a raise. Why bother with overtime?"

Without a doubt, this was thanks to Su Changqin.

Such nepotistic relationships are only natural.

In the company, Gu Yuan is more of a mascot than a figurehead.

Thanks to this connection, the company was able to negotiate some business deals more easily.

In short, everyone got what they needed.

Su Changqin, who seemed to have made the greatest sacrifice, didn't care about this at all.

Nothing is more important than Gu Yuan's own happiness.

"Qingqing, are you reading again?"

Gu Yuan changed into his casual clothes, took out some chilled mung bean soup from the refrigerator, grabbed a few large bags of snacks, and then sat cross-legged on the sofa opposite Gu Qing.

"Yes, this book is very interesting."
