After dinner, everyone went home.

Since they had called a designated driver, Su Changqin sat in the front passenger seat, while Gu Yuan sat in the back.

As a result, Gu Qing was sandwiched between Gu Yuan and Su Xiyue.

Fortunately, none of the three were overweight, so it didn't feel crowded.

On the way back, Su Changqin didn't forget to instruct Su Xiyue:

"Xiyue, even though you are the older sister, you should learn more from Qingqing in the future."

"Your cousin Jinglan, you can tell from living in a place like the capital that she has listened to a lot of unfounded theories and has become a bit impetuous."

"I understand, Mom!"

The young girl couldn't be happier about being ordered to be "close" to Gu Qing.

When it comes to studying, it's perfectly reasonable to often share a room with someone!

After returning home, Gu Qing washed up, changed into her pajamas, and took a glass of water to the balcony.

The moon is half full tonight, and the night breeze is just right.

Knowing that Gu Qing had a habit of enjoying the moonlight or reading on the balcony, Su Xiyue had been waiting there for a while.

"Gu Qing, here you go."

The girl handed over a piece of white chocolate, which was less bitter than dark chocolate.

“I noticed you didn’t seem to eat much for dinner,” Su Xiyue explained.

"Thank you, I do feel a bit hungry."

Gu Qing took the chocolate and, without any hesitation, tore open the packaging and took a small bite.

"Seriously, do you really want to be my older sister?"

After feeling somewhat full, Gu Qing blinked and suddenly asked.

He noticed that the girl's face lit up with joy when he said the words "Sister Xiyue" today.

Reflecting on his usual attitude and behavior towards Su Xiyue, Gu Qing couldn't help but repent.

Perhaps when facing Su Xiyue, he could try some actions that show vulnerability, so that Su Xiyue could gain a sense of accomplishment like an "older sister".

This is conducive to Su Xiyue's psychological health development.

"I am indeed quite happy!"

Su Xiyue didn't hide anything. After glancing at Gu Qing, she looked up at the moon and said with a melancholy tone:

"I always feel like I can't help much because Gu Qing takes such good care of me, which makes me seem useless!"

It's not hard to guess what a girl is thinking.

But Gu Qing had no intention of offering comfort.

Sometimes the most harmful words in this world are not insults.

Instead, they give formulaic, perfunctory responses like "It's alright," "You're not bad either," or "That's fine."

Perhaps you don't have to be the best, but if you can do better within your capabilities, why not give it a try?

"Xi Yue, you really are a bit useless."

As Gu Qing spoke, she shook the white chocolate in her hand.

"I don't really like snacks. I'd prefer a bowl of noodles with hot soup instead."

Gu Qing said this.

"I'm going to learn how to cook noodles tomorrow!"

Upon hearing Gu Qing's words, Su Xiyue was initially disappointed, but then she clenched her little fist.

Just imagining the scene of Gu Qing eating her lower body makes me feel excited.

Besides, cooking noodles is nothing difficult to learn.

"Not in a hurry."

Gu Qing gently shook her head and said, "The college entrance examination is coming soon, so everything should focus on the exam."

"What I mean is, after the college entrance exam, Xiyue, would you like to try learning some skills?"

This was Gu Qing's true purpose.

"Skill?"

Upon hearing this, Su Xiyue thought for a moment and said, "I do plan to learn some housework from you, Gu Qing. I can't always see you busy by yourself!"

This was a plan she had in mind long ago.

However, Gu Qing wasn't actually that busy; the housekeeping company still came to her door on time every week.

"I mean, should I get a driver's license?"

Gu Qing suggested, "In that case, next time Aunt Su has been drinking and it's inconvenient for her to call a driver, Xi Yue, you can come in handy!"

Given Su Changqin's status, having a secretary and a driver was standard practice.

But in a situation like today, neither of them is clearly suitable to be present.

"Take the driving test and drive!"

Su Xiyue's eyes lit up immediately.

The scene of her driving Gu Qing around had already appeared in her mind.

Just as in Gu Qing's previous life, where boys were more or less interested in cars, the same is true for women in this world.

"Yeah, I'm going to get a driver's license."

Seeing that Su Xiyue was interested, Gu Qing slowly said, "Whether it's for your future work, or if you get a boyfriend and want to take him out, driving is a very useful skill."

"And Gu Qing, can I drive you out for fun too?"

This is the most crucial question that Su Xiyue is thinking about right now.

"of course can!"

Gu Qing smiled and nodded, "But please be sure to obey traffic rules!"

Under the moonlight, the boy smiled faintly and spoke in a serious tone.

At this moment, Su Xiyue couldn't help but want to get closer to the boy.

She still remembered her father's words before he passed away: "Xiyue, in this world, besides your mother and father, if you meet someone who can accept and love you, you must hold on tight!"

She was too young at the time to grasp the true meaning of those words.

Even now, I only have a superficial understanding.

But for some reason, Gu Qing's appearance was like a ray of light piercing through the clouds; though not enough to warm the whole world, it was enough to show the direction forward.

She never mentioned her biological father to Gu Qing, just as Gu Qing never mentioned her biological mother.

This is a tacit understanding shared by the boy and girl.

"Gu Qing, can you promise me one thing?" Su Xiyue suddenly asked.

"It depends on what it is."

The answer was in Gu Qing's usual style.

"It's not difficult. If I successfully pass the driving test, can I still call you Qingqing?"

Su Xiyue is making some kind of attempt.

Even now, there aren't many people who can call Gu Qing "Qingqing".

Besides Su Changqin and Gu Yuan, there was only Zhou Jie, someone Gu Qing simply couldn't shake off.

“If that’s all there is to it, I can accept it,” Gu Qing said earnestly.

Although I don't particularly like this title, I've gotten used to it after being called it so many times.

As long as you don't use that overly greasy tone, it's fine.

"Then it's settled!"

Su Xiyue was full of energy at this moment.

This was a small attempt by her to use a set of principles that Gu Qing agreed with in order to get closer to him.
