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

Then Gu Qing took out the cake that had already been baked from the refrigerator.

The cake was small, only 6 inches, and looked plain and unremarkable, without even a frosty edge.

On top of the white cream, the words "Happy 18th Birthday" were written in red strawberry jam.

"Please don't be offended, this is my first time actually making a cake, I don't have much experience."

Just before Su Xiyue finished making her wish and was about to cut the cake, Gu Qing said this.

"Gu Qing, I will definitely finish everything you made!"

After the girl spoke, she cleanly and efficiently cut the cake.

After it was placed on the plate, Gu Yuan, who had a sweet tooth, was the first to taste it, and his eyes lit up immediately:

"She's definitely my Qingqing; she'll be good at everything she does!"

Su Xiyue and Su Changqin also praised it after taking a bite.

"It's just that the ingredients are good!"

Gu Qing spoke the truth.

If you're just making cakes and don't consider the appearance, there's actually not much skill involved.

Whether it tastes good or not depends entirely on how much filling you use.

The 6-inch cake wasn't big, and it was quickly devoured.

After that, Gu Yuan took out a birthday gift from the master bedroom on the first floor.

"Xiyue, this is your birthday present from your uncle. I hope you like it!"

"Thank you, Uncle Gu!"

Su Xiyue accepted the gift with both hands.

People from Xia have never had the habit of opening gifts in front of others. Although Su Xiyue was very curious, she still had to wait until she returned to her bedroom to check them out.

"this is mine."

Gu Qing presented the phoenix-shaped jade pendant that had already been packaged.

"Thank you, Gu Qing!"

If I had to say who I was most looking forward to receiving a gift from, it would undoubtedly be from Gu Qing right in front of me.

As for Su Changqin's gift...

Under Su Xiyue's expectant gaze, Su Changqin said:

"Until you graduate from university, your combined allowance and living expenses amount to 5000 yuan per month. Is this gift enough?"

"Enough, more than enough!"

Su Xiyue nodded happily.

The gift was quite simple, but it suited my taste perfectly.

She will be attending university in Nanjing, the provincial capital, where the cost of living is higher than in Los Angeles, but lower than in first-tier cities like Beijing and Shanghai.

The standard of five thousand yuan, plus her own little savings, is more than enough.

More importantly, barring any unforeseen circumstances, Mom will still give the money to Gu Qing.

This would give her a sufficient reason to contact Gu Qing, and she could even use the excuse of "preventing herself from spending too much money" to receive payments from Gu Qing in installments.

Wouldn't that give us more opportunities to interact?

“I’m such a genius!”

Su Xiyue thought to herself with a smug satisfaction.

62. Gu Qing's Sleeping Posture and Nightmares (Bonus Chapter 6 for Monthly Tickets)

Perhaps because it was their first encounter in this life, Gu Qing's body was less resistant to alcohol than he had imagined.

With a flushed face, he felt his body grow slightly heavy and sat down on the sofa in the living room.

The afternoon sunlight, filtering through the sheer curtains, became less intense. Already feeling tired from waking up early, he fell asleep easily under the influence of alcohol.

Thinking that there was nothing to do in the afternoon, Gu Qing did not resist the drowsiness.

He leaned back on the sofa, squinting.

Before long, he lowered his head and drifted into a nap.

Su Xiyue, who was clearing the table, did not notice anything unusual about Gu Qing.

Su Changqin had a meeting in the afternoon, so she left early after lunch.

Gu Yuanze went to the company where he worked.

After Gu Qing injured her right foot, Gu Yuan took leave, which lasted until a few days after the college entrance examination.

For most small and micro-sized private enterprises, there is no such thing as "vacation".

It was only because of Su Changqin's status and position.

Since others have given us face, we can't go too far on our side.

Therefore, Gu Yuan has ended his vacation and returned to work.

Although Su Changqin was fully capable of arranging a very easy job for Gu Yuan with good benefits.

But Gu Yuan refused.

After he returned to Los Angeles with his son Gu Qing, it was this micro-enterprise that gave Gu Yuan hope for life during the most difficult time.

It wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that this was a timely help.

Gu Yuan remembered this kindness, so he never planned to resign or change jobs.

For the reasons mentioned above, only Su Xiyue and Gu Qing remained in the house.

After Su Xiyue finished tidying up the dining table, she began searching for Gu Qing as usual, and soon found the handsome young man lying on the sofa who seemed to have fallen asleep.

Su Xiyue slowed her pace, trying her best not to make a sound.

She quietly approached, first taking out the remote control and turning up the temperature of the central air conditioning a little, before turning her gaze to the beauty on the sofa.

"In the south there is a beautiful woman, whose beauty is like that of peaches and plums."

With just one glance, the poem came to mind for Su Xiyue.

At the same time, my heart started beating faster than usual.

The boy, leaning against the sofa, hugged a cushion, his graceful body slightly curled up, his smooth black ponytail resting quietly on his delicate shoulder.

I wonder if Gu Qing has gained some weight recently. Her once delicate and pretty face now has a little bit of baby fat that can only be seen upon close inspection.

Under the influence of alcohol, her already stunning face flushed a rosy hue, which was undeniably adorable.

Gu Qing was dressed casually today, wearing knee-length shorts since she didn't need to go out.

At this moment, two long, slender, and smooth legs were placed straight in front of Su Xiyue, as if they were delicacies that she could enjoy at will.

After the main meal, it's time for dessert.

At the end of her long, slender legs were delicate feet encased in pure white cotton socks.

Even though most of it was hidden by those damn slippers, Su Xiyue was never short of imagination.

Although she didn't know why people would be interested in another person's little feet, Su Xiyue just couldn't resist wanting to play with and taste them.

"Summer is the season for ice cream!"

Just imagining that scene made the girl rub her inner thighs a few times.

It took the girl quite a while to suppress the heat in her heart.

Then, she picked up her phone, put it on silent, turned on the camera, and pointed it at the "Sleeping Beauty" on the sofa.

After secretly taking a few stunning photos that would make any woman drool, she finally put down her phone, satisfied.

Compared to the gifts she received during the meal, perhaps this scene before her eyes is the best coming-of-age ceremony for her eighteenth birthday.

Of course, it would be even more perfect if Gu Qing slept in her bed.

"Don't be too greedy, take it slow!"

Su Xiyue bit her tongue, stopping herself from having any greedy thoughts.

After that, she thought of how Gu Qing had taken care of her when she was drunk.

After hesitating for a moment, Su Xiyue tiptoed closer to the sofa and cautiously approached Gu Qing.

When Su Xiyue approached, she found that Gu Qing seemed to be sleeping very soundly, showing no signs of being awakened.

The boy's thick eyelashes did not tremble at all, and his sleeping face was exceptionally peaceful.
