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

79. Two people sharing a room

7:35 am

The sky, which would normally be bright, was now overcast and drizzling.

Amidst thunder and lightning, large raindrops relentlessly pounded against the earth.

The wind howled forward, bending straight tree trunks and sending a rusty old billboard fluttering in the wind.

Most of the hotel guests had already woken up and discovered that they were trapped in the typhoon.

But the panic I had imagined did not occur.

While cooperating with hotel staff in dealing with the disaster, they also took photos with great interest as souvenirs.

This is, after all, a rare experience.

More importantly, for this country that has suffered many disasters since ancient times, the people have long developed the habit of believing that human will can overcome nature.

Even in the face of the greatest natural disasters, brave and fearless rescue teams will always arrive.

Seeing this scene, Gu Qing breathed a huge sigh of relief.

Having witnessed numerous disaster scenes, he knows that the most terrifying thing is never the disaster itself, but the moral bottom line in people's hearts that is declining due to the environment.

At eight o'clock in the morning, hotel staff knocked on the door.

"Hello, due to the typhoon, the resort is currently implementing overall material planning and control. Please do not worry."

A staff member delivered a breakfast to Gu Qing.

"From now on, everyone's three meals a day will be allocated according to quantity."

"Please understand and cooperate, and try your best not to waste anything."

After the staff member finished speaking, they knocked on the door of the next room.

Gu Qing glanced at the breakfast in her hand.

Boiled eggs and frozen buns, and a bottle of mineral water.

The portion wasn't small, but it wasn't much more either.

Although the hotel has not disclosed the exact amount of supplies it has.

Judging from the distribution results, there must be quite a lot, enough to supply for several days.

Even if the typhoon doesn't end in a few days, rescue teams will definitely arrive.

Therefore, there is no need to worry about the supply of materials.

While having breakfast, Su Xiyue, who had taken a short nap, came to Gu Qing's room.

"Gu Qing, I was planning to celebrate your birthday, but now..."

Su Xiyue looked somewhat disappointed.

She carefully selected and prepared a birthday gift for Gu Qing.

But now it seems that Gu Qing will most likely spend her birthday in the typhoon.

"Those are the little things."

Gu Qing shook her head, not caring about it.

After the two finished their meal, they contacted Gu Yuanqu at home.

Su Changqin was busy dealing with the disaster and was naturally not there.

According to Gu Yuan, Luocheng has not yet been affected, but relevant departments have already issued a notice to stop work.

"What a pity, we probably won't make it to Qingqing's birthday party. This damn typhoon, of all times, it had to blow now!"

Gu Yuan voiced a similar complaint to Su Xiyue.

After reminding him to be careful again, the call ended.

At 10 a.m., Gu Qing, who was explaining disaster response knowledge to Su Xiyue, heard a knock on the door again.

It was the same staff member, but this time it wasn't delivering food.

"Here's the thing, a scientific expedition team from the red-crowned crane wetlands has come to our hotel for refuge, but we don't have enough rooms right now..."

The staff member briefly described the problem.

The meaning is simple: because this research team has been accepted, the hotel rooms need to be redistributed.

Gu Qing came with Su Xiyue, so the hotel hoped that the two could share a room.

Of course, considering the differences between men and women, Gu Qing could also refuse.

But in that case, a male member of the scientific expedition team would also be assigned to his room.

Upon hearing this news, Su Xiyue felt a slight stirring in her heart, but remained silent.

After thinking for a few seconds, Gu Qing replied directly, "I understand. My sister and I will share a room."

"Thank you so much for your understanding!"

The staff breathed a sigh of relief and immediately helped Gu Qing move her luggage to Su Xiyue's room next door.

"Please feel free to contact me if you need anything. Thank you for your understanding during this special time!"

The staff thanked them again and left the room.

Only after the door closed did Su Xiyue look at Gu Qing, who was packing his luggage, and a silly smile appeared on her lips.

To openly share a room with Gu Qing, and perhaps even sleep in the same bed, is something I would never normally dare to imagine.

In that instant, even the raging wind and rain outside the window seemed much gentler in her eyes.

Gu Qing had no romantic thoughts in her mind.

When a lone man and woman are alone in a room during a disaster, they are more likely to develop feelings for each other due to the "suspension bridge effect."

But right now he's focusing more on the disaster.

"Gu Qing, why don't you take a nap now? You must have been woken up in the middle of the night, right?" Su Xiyue said.

There was only one double bed in the room, which was one of the few opportunities to see the boy sleeping.

Moreover, as far as she knew, Gu Qing's sleeping posture didn't seem to be very still.

"Need not."

Gu Qing shook her head, looking at the bed, but she wasn't sleepy.

After taking out the books he used to pass the time from his suitcase, he sat down at the desk and began to read.

Since there was only one chair in the room, Su Xiyue had no choice but to sit on the edge of the bed and play on her phone, glancing at Gu Qing every now and then.

"Gu Qing looks so cute reading with her glasses on, I want to..."

The girl was lost in thought.

At noon, the staff delivered two lunches.

It is relatively simple, yet substantial.

Gu Qing didn't eat much to begin with, and since she didn't burn much calories, she left half of it uneaten.

Seeing that the girl had already finished her meal, Gu Qing thought for a moment and pushed her own food over to her.

"If you don't mind, you can eat mine too. I can't finish it, and it's best not to waste food at a time like this," Gu Qing said.

"How could I possibly dislike it!"

The girl emphasized loudly, while picking up the chopsticks that Gu Qing had placed aside and rummaging through Gu Qing's lunchbox.

Rounding up, does this count as a verbal exchange?

"Slow down, don't choke."

Gu Qing placed the water next to Su Xiyue.

He was very pleased to see the girl eating.

Now I understand to some extent why elders always feel that younger generations are not well-fed or clothed.

In the afternoon, the hotel suddenly lost power.

But it didn't take long for it to return to normal.

The staff came again to inform us: "The power supply line has a problem due to the typhoon, and we are currently using a backup generator."

"We don't have much spare fuel, so we'll cut off the power after dinner at 7 p.m."

"Please try to conserve electricity. Thank you again for your cooperation during this special period!"

After the staff left, Su Xiyue remembered that Gu Qing had asked her to fully charge all her electronic devices, as if she had anticipated this moment.

"You knew all along?" Su Xiyue asked.

"Just in case."
