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

As the weather gets hotter, even the most playful person can learn to restrain themselves.

After returning to the classroom with Zhou Jie, Gu Qing took out her phone, wrote down the time and location of the college entrance examination on the calendar, and set a reminder.

Then I looked at the afternoon's schedule.

—Actually, reading it isn't very useful.

At this stage, regardless of the course, there is only one theme in class—review.

Gu Qing can endure loneliness, but Zhou Jie clearly can't.

The tedious and boring review process prompted Zhou Jie to secretly send Gu Qing several WeChat messages.

After seeing that Gu Qing didn't reply to him, he secretly held his phone again, occasionally chuckling to himself.

Gu Qing shook his head and offered no comment.

As the sun set and the afterglow of dusk bathed the classroom, the school bell finally rang.

After packing her things, Gu Qing took out her phone to check her memo for the day. After confirming that there was nothing she needed to buy, she prepared to go home.

But just as he was about to shove his phone into his pocket, a WeChat message popped up.

The message came from Su Changqin, and Gu Qing had saved her contact as Aunt Su.

Aunt Su: "Relatives came to visit this afternoon. Qingqing, if you're not used to it, you and Xiyue can eat out. You'll probably be back by then."

Gu Qing stared at the message for a moment before leaving the classroom.

Just as they turned the corner, they ran into Su Xiyue coming from the opposite direction.

Clearly, the girl hadn't waited for Gu Qing at the entrance of the teaching building, so she went upstairs to look for him.

Upon seeing Su Xiyue, Gu Qing hesitated for a moment before saying, "Relatives have come to visit."

"What relative?"

Su Xiyue looked surprised; clearly, she was unaware of this.

Gu Qing thought about it for a moment and roughly understood Su Changqin's idea.

Since relatives from the Su family had come, Su Changqin was worried that Gu Qing would feel awkward, so she told Gu Qing that he could eat out with Su Xiyue.

The reason why Su Xiyue was not informed was probably because of this.

Let's go home!

After Gu Qing finished speaking, she started walking.

Thinking about it, it would indeed be somewhat awkward for Gu Qing to meet Su Changqin's relatives in his capacity as Gu Qing.

If it's someone from the Su family, that's fine, but if it's a relative from Su Xiyue's father's side, the atmosphere probably won't be very pleasant.

But since we've made that choice, we have to face it.

As a family lives together longer, their lives become more intertwined.

It was inevitable that they would become involved in each other's social circles.

Moreover, Gu Qing still has the identity of a student to use as a cover.

If the imagined scenario actually occurs, then even if one does something impulsive, there is a reasonable explanation.

Although it's highly unlikely that what Gu Qing imagined will happen, he habitually prepared for the worst.

After getting on the bus, seeing Gu Qing's furrowed brows, Su Xiyue thought for a while, then took out her phone and asked her mother.

It wasn't until they were close to the villa area that Su Changqin finally had a moment to reply to her message.

Su Xiyue immediately said to Gu Qing, who was getting out of the car:

"My aunt and her daughter, who is my cousin, came."

Upon hearing this, Gu Qing paused slightly as he was getting out of the car, then nodded to Su Xiyue, his furrowed brows relaxing a little.

"Thank you."

After saying this, Gu Yuan and Su Xiyue entered the courtyard together.

After passing through the rose bushes in the courtyard, Su Xiyue took the initiative to stand a little further forward and rang the doorbell.

A dozen seconds later, Gu Yuan's smiling face appeared in front of the two of them.

Seeing this, Gu Qing finally felt relieved.

His main reason for insisting on coming back was that he was worried about Gu Yuan.

It's not that I'm worried that Gu Yuan won't be able to handle these interpersonal relationships well, but rather that I'm worried that Gu Yuan will be bullied by sarcastic and unpleasant people.

It seems that what he imagined did not happen.

"It's Xiyue and Qingqing back!"

Upon seeing the two, Gu Yuan quickly invited them into the house.

The commotion at the doorway clearly attracted the attention of the people in the living room, but due to the corner of the entryway, their eyes did not meet.

It wasn't until Gu Qing and Su Xiyue changed into slippers, stepped out of the entrance hall, and officially entered the house that various gazes intersected.

Two guests were sitting on the sofa opposite Su Changqin.

One of them bore a striking resemblance to Su Changqin, but with a different temperament and a more business-like style of dress; she must be Su Xiyue's aunt.

And the girl next to the aunt...

No, or rather, it would be more appropriate to say young women.

Judging by her facial features alone, she does bear some resemblance to Su Xiyue.

Unlike Su Xiyue's softer and more delicate features, this young woman had more angular features, with upturned eyes and a more relaxed and casual posture.

From what I can get, Su Xiyue, this cousin, seems to be the more outgoing and flamboyant type.

"My cousin's home from school, come and sit down!"

As soon as Su Xiyue's cousin saw the two of them, she immediately waved and called out, as if she were at her own home.

At the same time, the gaze that seemed to be directed at Su Xiyue actually kept falling on Gu Qing.

"Xiyue, you and Qingqing go upstairs and put your schoolbags down first. Remember to change your clothes, we're going out for dinner together later."

Before Su Xiyue could respond to her cousin, Su Changqin spoke first.

Su Xiyue nodded immediately.

After the two went upstairs, Su Xiyue suddenly leaned close to Gu Qing's ear and whispered:

"My cousin may look nice and respectable, but she's actually a total womanizer. She's been having boyfriends since middle school!"

"I see."

Gu Qing nodded and then pushed open the door to her bedroom.

He dislikes people who are too flamboyant. Whether intentional or unintentional, an excessive desire to show off will make people lose their sense of propriety.

The saying "to speak frankly with someone you don't know well" arises from this.

After putting down her schoolbag, Gu Qing took out a set of casual clothes from the wardrobe to change into.

A plain white short-sleeved casual shirt without any extra embellishments, paired with loose black casual trousers.

This way, it won't seem too formal, but it won't be impolite either.

After changing his clothes, Gu Qing did not go downstairs immediately. Instead, he waited until Su Xiyue knocked on his door before coming out of the bedroom.

Su Xiyue had also changed her clothes, wearing a beige T-shirt and a matching pleated skirt, revealing her two long, fair legs.

Her hairstyle was a ponytail very similar to Gu Qing's, except that Su Xiyue's hair was a bit longer.

Overall, she appears youthful, beautiful, and vibrant.

Of course, this is just Gu Qing's personal opinion.

If it were any other guy, he would probably be described with words like "handsome" or "sunny".

"Let's go downstairs!"

Su Xiyue smiled at Gu Qing and took the lead, showing a posture of leading the way.

44. Aunt Su and Su Jinglan

After going downstairs, Gu Qing and Su Xiyue naturally sat down to Su Changqin's left.

To Su Changqin's right was Gu Yuan.

After the two were seated, Su Changqin looked at the two opposite her and said with a smile:

"Let me formally introduce you. This is my son, Gu Qing. He's a few days younger than Xi Yue, so he's the younger brother."

—My son.
