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

Su Xiyue wasn't without curiosity about the opposite sex.

She even had vague feelings for some members of the opposite sex.

However, her parents' upbringing taught her to be discreet, so even when faced with a man she liked, she would only observe him silently first.

As she observed further, she discovered from an outsider's perspective that the person was not what she had imagined.

So-called liking is sometimes more like an impulse under specific circumstances.

Later, my mother met Uncle Gu.

Uncle Gu brought Gu Qing with him.

This is the dream man of the vast majority of girls in the school, an absolutely unattainable and aloof fairy.

Su Xiyue initially held an attitude of admiration for Gu Qing, as well as some of the unavoidable fantasies that teenage girls inevitably have.

She loved looking at Gu Qing's little feet, with their rounded soles and delicate, slender toes.

She liked the way Gu Qing looked in white socks; the glimpses of her skin always made her feel a little itchy inside.

But this liking is merely lust at first sight for the opposite sex.

"So when exactly did this change occur?"

The girl asked herself this question.

It was probably the other person's subtle sense of distance and their well-controlled sense of propriety that aroused her curiosity.

As she got to know him better, she discovered that this aloof and handsome man also had an exceptionally cute side.

While cooking in an apron, she would occasionally hum an unknown tune.

I enjoy drinking tea and reading on the balcony, admiring the moonlight, but I never express my emotions.

They don't know how to use skincare products, and like many girls, they don't even recognize all the different types of cosmetics.

She is obviously too beautiful, and her figure is also very graceful.

But unlike other boys, he never flaunted himself; instead, he dressed very conservatively.

He only shows more skin at home, which often gives her a feast for the eyes.

Gu Qing was not vain at all; he seemed to have no interest in any luxury goods.

The expensive pendant, chosen by her mother and personally gifted to her, was never seen Gu Qing wear out to show off.

His beautiful, slender, and delicate wrists were never adorned with any ornaments.

The hairstyle was so simple, and the hair ties were only black and red, with the red being an unavoidable addition.

The word "simple" is absolutely fitting when applied to Gu Qing.

But Gu Qing's qualities are not merely simple.

A well-bred lady, a virtuous husband and father—these are all labels attached to him.

The more you know about him, the more you can feel the captivating aura surrounding him that makes you want to immerse yourself in it.

--tolerate!

These are the words that Su Xiyue associated with.

A sense of acceptance, like that of a mother or father.

Beneath its cool exterior lies ultimate gentleness.

When Su Xiyue realized this, she found herself already deeply immersed in it, unable to extricate herself.

"We must hold on tight!"

She awoke at that moment.

Whether it's love, dependence, or infatuation, it's not necessarily a bad thing.

In short, she wanted Gu Qing to be by her side, and she wanted to be with Gu Qing every moment.

The mere thought flashing through my mind is enough to make my heart race uncontrollably.

It was as if every cell in her body was desperately telling her—she couldn't miss it!

So she mustered the greatest courage of her life and, on that graduation night, announced her determination.

"Gu Qing."

Su Xiyue picked up her wine glass again, looked at the handsome young man in front of her, and her eyes sparkled with a watery light.

"Thank you for cooking this meal, thank you for taking care of our family during this time, and thank you even more for becoming our family."

"I hope that in the future, we will always be one family!"

Su Xiyue's words had a double meaning, and she believed that Gu Qing would understand.

Gu Qing could understand it, of course.

He wasn't surprised at all that Su Xiyue had fallen for him.

At this youthful age, an unexpected and ambiguous relationship arises.

An unusual person of the opposite sex, a sudden and profound understanding.

The chemical effect produced by all these factors combined can be seen, in a sense, as a suspension bridge effect.

Because he understood the reason, Gu Qing did not directly reject Su Xiyue when she expressed her feelings that night.

Because he knew very well that even if he directly refused, Su Xiyue wouldn't give up so easily.

It's better to let time heal all wounds.

The effect will gradually dissipate as they go to their respective universities and leave the family to live independently.

If Su Xiyue had persisted at that time, Gu Qing would have seriously considered it.

But at this moment, Su Xiyue can act impulsively, but Gu Qing must not follow suit.

I hope everyone will be well in the future.

Gu Qing raised his glass and clinked it with Su Xiyue's.

After the crisp sound, the two drank together.

Through the clear glass, they saw the expressions in each other's eyes.

Firm and complex.

Su Xiyue finally raised her glass to her mother.

"Mom, I won't say any more. Everything is in the wine!"

Su Xiyue drank it all in one gulp.

"You little rascal!"

Su Changqin smiled and drank it all in one gulp.

She was very satisfied with what Su Xiyue had just said.

He felt a great sense of accomplishment in witnessing his daughter's growth.

"You'll be an adult soon, so you can't always expect others to take care of you. You also need to learn how to take care of others!" Su Changqin said meaningfully.

"Don't worry, Mom!"

Su Xiyue nodded solemnly.

Only then did everyone begin to pick up their chopsticks.

To celebrate Su Xiyue's birthday, Su Changqin opened a bottle of her treasured dry red wine.

This also made Gu Qing, who had never drunk alcohol in this life, aware of his current alcohol tolerance.

However, if it were in his previous life, Gu Qing could have drunk 13-degree red wine straight from the bottle like a beverage.

But now, after just a few bites, I feel my cheeks getting slightly hot.

Although I wasn't dizzy, I was quite aware of my alcohol tolerance.

"Qingqing, stop drinking. After you finish eating, rest well and drink more water."

Su Changqin noticed Gu Qing's unusual behavior and spoke up.

At this moment, Gu Qing's face was flushed, making her look like a plump, ripe peach, tempting one to take a bite.

Su Xiyue watched intently for a while, and finally discovered one of Gu Qing's weaknesses: he couldn't hold his liquor.

"Okay, Aunt Su."

Gu Qing did not try to be brave.

As long as you're not born with an alcohol allergy, you can develop your alcohol tolerance through training.

Although everyone's upper limit is different, the lower limit can still be raised.

Moreover, he has no need to drink alcohol in this life, so it doesn't matter if his alcohol tolerance is a little low.

After lunch, the family of four cleaned up the table together.
