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

“Qingqing seems to prefer tea. I have plenty in my study; she can get more if she needs it,” Su Changqin said.

"Thank you, Aunt Su."

Gu Qing did not refuse.

As they spent more time together, they became more familiar with each other, the distance between them grew smaller, and their feelings for one another deepened.

Gu Qing had witnessed Su Changqin's care for Gu Yuan and everyone in his family.

What Gu Yuan said back then was not false, nor was it exaggerated by being blinded by love.

Su Changqin is indeed a conscientious and responsible person. There are some subtle things that Gu Yuan himself may not have noticed, but Gu Qing has noticed them to some extent.

For example, the flowers and plants in the villa's courtyard that were not well maintained before have now been replaced with roses, which are Gu Yuan's favorite.

Although Su Changqin herself did not plant and transplant the plants, it still shows her good intentions.

Upon reaching the second floor, Gu Qing did not return directly to the bedroom but instead knocked on Su Xiyue's door.

23. Just be yourself.

The door opened, and Su Xiyue appeared in front of Gu Qing.

The girl wore a black nightgown that reached her calves and a pair of cool slippers, revealing ten rounded toes.

In Gu Qing's eyes, Su Xiyue, though still a bit green, was already a graceful and beautiful young woman.

With her youthful and beautiful appearance at the age of seventeen, she would have been very popular if she had lived in Gu Qing's previous life.

Although in this world, Su Xiyue was still pursued by many boys at school.

However, due to the boy's "restraint," there was no such explicit admiration.

Gu Qing himself admires Su Xiyue.

Gu Qing, whose mental age is more than a generation older than Su Xiyue, treats her more like a young girl.

As for the idea of ​​falling in love, given Gu Qing's experience and life experience, it would be difficult for her to have such thoughts.

In his previous life, when he was that age, dating required more consideration of compatibility, how to continue living together, and various family conflicts.

Even though her physical age in this world is only 17, she is even a few days younger than Su Xiyue in front of her.

But psychologically, it's hard to go back to that age.

Therefore, Gu Qing treated Su Xiyue as if she were "half a daughter".

Although it may seem strange, this is indeed what he was thinking.

Upon seeing Gu Qing knocking on the door, a hint of surprise flashed in Su Xiyue's eyes.

Gu Qing rarely took the initiative to seek her out, even though they lived in the same house and went to and from school together every day, and would greet each other when they met at school.

But for some reason, Su Xiyue always felt that there was an invisible wall around Gu Qing, keeping everyone outside.

"This is a return gift."

Upon meeting Su Xiyue, Gu Qing presented her with a small, blue-wrapped gift box.

9五零⒈八０九0㈨

"Return gift?"

Su Xiyue tilted her head, unable to figure it out for a moment.

"A return gift from our first formal meeting," Gu Qing explained.

Su Xiyue then suddenly remembered.

When the four members of the blended family met formally for the first time at the restaurant, Su Changqin prepared a gift, but gave it to Gu Qing in Su Xiyue's name.

Gu Qing had mentioned returning the favor at that time.

After a brief moment of thought, Su Xiyue decided to explain:

"Gu Qing, actually that gift..."

"I know!"

Gu Qing interrupted Su Xiyue.

He knew, of course, that the gift was actually prepared by Su Changqin.

Moreover, he was very clear about Su Changqin's intentions.

Given Su Changqin's status at the time, it would have been inappropriate to give it directly to Gu Qing, so she used Su Xiyue's name to accomplish the task.

On the one hand, it could please Gu Qing; on the other hand, since it was a gift from Su Xiyue, who was the same age as him, it would be easier for Gu Qing to accept it.

In fact, Su Xiyue herself had not prepared any gift for the meeting.

You can't expect a seventeen-year-old girl to have such a sophisticated mind.

"Some things are actually not important."

Gu Qing handed the gift box in his hand to Su Xiyue again, gesturing for her to accept it, and then said:

"What matters is the sentiment. Whether it's your sentiment or Aunt Su's sentiment, it represents the family."

At Gu Qing's prompting, Su Xiyue accepted the gift box.

The gift box wasn't large and didn't weigh much, so it must be a lightweight item.

"Please continue to guide me in the future."

Gu Qing gave Su Xiyue a genuine smile.

Although the smile wasn't intense, the boy's cherry lips formed a beautiful arc at that moment.

Like a flower bud about to bloom, it makes one look forward to how beautiful it will be when it finally blossoms.

"Me... me too!"

Su Xiyue was struck by Gu Qing's faint smile and suddenly felt nervous and at a loss.

Although Gu Qing would occasionally smile at home, those smiles were often preceded by the emotions of the events that had occurred at that time.

At this moment, Gu Qing's genuine smile seemed to break down the invisible walls surrounding her.

"Get some rest early, then goodnight."

"Goodnight, Gu Qing."

Su Xiyue watched Gu Qing turn and leave.

A young man's posture is always upright and straight.

At this moment, even that silhouette was the same.

But Su Xiyue caught a glimpse of tenderness in that figure's back at that moment.

"Uncle Gu is right, Gu Qing's smile is really beautiful."

After deeply imprinting Gu Qing's smile into her mind, Su Xiyue closed the door.

……

The adjustment period for the blended family has been going on for a week now.

The integration process went much more smoothly and efficiently than Gu Qing had imagined.

The head of the family, Su Changqin, is shrewd and resourceful, holding a high position and exuding official authority.

However, she dotes on Gu Yuan very much and is very fond of his little quirks, seemingly enjoying it every moment.

Su Xiyue, whom everyone thought would be troublesome, turned out to be just a pretty girl who occasionally liked to slack off and play mobile games.

Although he is a bit picky about food, he seems to have been strictly taught in terms of lifestyle and has no excessive behavior.

However, he seems to particularly enjoy staring at his feet...

It's not some unacceptable quirk; everyone has their little hobbies.

In her previous life, Gu Qing had heard all sorts of dirty jokes with her friends, including those about foot fetishes, leg fetishes, and butt fetishes.

Although the world may be upside down.

Considering all of the above, and with Su Changqin and Gu Qing's sometimes tacit and deliberate efforts to maintain things, it's conceivable that this blended family is on the right track to a completely new life.

For Gu Qing, this is a good thing.

What he wants most is a stable and peaceful life.

I don't need any great trials or tribulations, nor do I want any complicated stories.

Moving steadily into the future is the best outcome.

"Hmm... The next step is to get into a good university and then try to develop a career."

Lying in bed, Gu Qing made plans for the future.

Not all reborn individuals have cheat codes; at least Gu Qing didn't.
