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

After the family tragedy, Gu Yuan struggled to survive in the bustling city of Shanghai for a period of time with Gu Qing.

However, Gu Yuan, who had no assets or savings in Shanghai, was still unable to support the daily living expenses of the father and son with his meager salary.

Moreover, Gu Qing was in her second year of high school at the time, and there were many things that required money.

“I think Los Angeles is pretty good,” Gu Qing said earnestly.

This wasn't meant to comfort Gu Yuan, but rather because small cities always have their own unique charm.

"But Qingqing, you don't have many friends. If it weren't for transferring schools, this wouldn't be the case."

Gu Yuan actually felt somewhat guilty.

He used to be someone who never lifted a finger.

He was pampered by his wife, and his son was sensible from a young age.

But after his wife got into that mess, not only did the family fall into poverty, but they also became heavily in debt.

I remember that from that time on, Gu Qing became even more aloof, and was even unwilling to say more than a few words to her classmates.

Gu Yuan believes that the change in environment has shaped Gu Qing's current personality.

A maturity beyond one's years may sound appealing, but who can guarantee it's not necessarily a good thing?

And then there's that aloof nature; he never fully integrates into any group or clique, always keeping his distance from everyone.

Gu Qing had absolutely no interest in the romantic relationships that most boys fantasize about between men and women.

She doesn't like playing on her phone, doesn't like buying clothes, and is very resistant to makeup and dressing up.

In Gu Yuan's view, Gu Qing was not a normal boy.

This made him feel extremely heartbroken and guilty.

"I just hate pointless social interactions."

Gu Qing offered a defense for herself.

He certainly knew what Gu Yuan was thinking.

But at that time, due to changes in his family, he had to give up some things in order to take on responsibilities as soon as possible.

Meaningless social interaction is one of them.

In addition, in this world, he is considered very handsome and is often harassed by women.

If at the beginning there was some smugness or even enjoyment, then later it gradually turned into a feeling of annoyance.

It's not that I'm afraid of women.

Instead, he dislikes women who don't know how to maintain a sense of distance.

"Dad, don't overthink it. I think things are great right now."

Gu Qing said from the bottom of his heart.

"I can rest assured that."

Gu Yuan was indeed slightly relieved.

Because he knew that Gu Qing had always had her own opinions since she was a child.

Moreover, when it comes to mentality, Gu Qing is much stronger than his father.

At least when his family suddenly faced a crisis, it was he who was panicked and helpless, while it was Gu Qing who calmly thought things through and even comforted him.

After helping Gu Qing finish washing up in bed, Gu Yuan went to prepare breakfast.

Gu Qing picked up her phone and, as usual, started reading the daily news.

The conflict continues in distant overseas locations, and the news of a top influencer surnamed Wu being arrested for tampering with his fans is also gaining traction.

However, none of these things have much to do with him.

After reading the news, I opened WeChat.

Su Xiyue sent him a message when she went to school.

Zhou Jie didn't see Gu Qing in the classroom, so he must have learned about the situation from Su Xiyue and sent her his concern.

Gu Qing replied to each of these replies.

Just as he finished dealing with the messages and was about to put down his phone, an unexpected message made him pause.

Lu Chengli: "Gu Qing, which university do you plan to apply to?"

After arriving in Los Angeles, Gu Qing changed her phone number and re-registered for WeChat, effectively severing ties with her previous relationships.

The girl named Lu Chengli was Gu Qing's former class monitor.

The other party contacted Gu Yuan through the information registered at the school, and then added Gu Qingxin on WeChat.

The two had never chatted before; this was the first message after they added each other.

Gu Qing was somewhat unsure about Lu Chengli.

He wouldn't have the self-righteous illusion that the other person liked him, and Lu Chengli never showed any similar intentions.

That's why Gu Qing agreed to add the other party.

After all, they were classmates for two years in high school. Although they weren't very close, Gu Qing had received some help from the other party as the class monitor.

Gu Qing thought for a moment but did not answer the question.

Having not been in contact for a long time, the fact that the person immediately asked questions upon contacting her indicated a clear purpose, which instinctively made Gu Qing defensive.

It wasn't that Gu Qing was worried that Lu Chengli had any bad intentions, but rather that she simply didn't want to expose too much of her thoughts and privacy.

In the end, Gu Qing simply replied with a question mark.

As for Lu Chengli, no new news came.

……

After school in the afternoon, Su Xiyue took Gu Qing's textbooks home.

Unexpectedly, Zhou Jie was also with her.

After politely greeting Gu Yuan, Zhou Jie and Su Xiyue entered Gu Qing's bedroom together.

"Qingqing!"

Jay Chou always seems so lively.

After entering the room and calling out, he looked around Gu Qing's bedroom without any restraint.

"This style really suits you!"

Zhou Jie looked at Gu Qing's extremely simple bedroom and sighed, then moved a chair from Gu Qing's desk and sat down.

"I'm here on behalf of the whole class to express our condolences to you. The gifts have already been given to Uncle Gu."

"Old Yang originally wanted to come too, but something happened at the school, and he was pulled away to attend a last-minute meeting!"

As soon as Zhou Jie sat down, he started talking non-stop.

After recounting a few minor incidents that happened in the class today, he suddenly changed the subject:

"Qingqing, you'd never guess why Lao Yang was dragged to a meeting!"

Su Xiyue, who was gazing at the scenery from the balcony, giving Gu Qing and Zhou Jie some space, also looked over curiously at this moment.

"If you want to say something, just say it."

Gu Qing shook his head. He knew Zhou Jie's personality; the other party would never miss any gossip that happened at school.

Soon, Zhou Jie lowered his voice and said, "Someone has died at our school!"

41. Su Xiyue: How did I become a rapist?

"What!?"

Before Gu Qing could react, Su Xiyue had already uttered a sound of surprise and uncertainty.

She was also at school, so how come she had never heard of anyone dying?

Su Xiyue looked at Zhou Jie with a mixture of belief and doubt.

Gu Qing, who was half-sitting on the bed, didn't react much. She just frowned and pondered for a few seconds before her cherry lips parted slightly:

"Is one of the students pregnant?"

"Qingqing is always so smart!"

Zhou Jie made an exaggerated expression of admiration.

Gu Qing saw it all, but the thought that Zhou Jie's idol was a man who liked to wear super short shorts and pose provocatively on stage made her feel very uncomfortable.

"According to rumors, it's a girl from Class 4 of the third year of high school, the one in the classroom downstairs from us."

"We don't know its name yet, but it's said that it was discovered by a nurse in the school clinic by chance, and it's been almost three months!"

As Zhou Jie spoke, he gestured with his hands to describe it.
