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

But that requires a lot of courage.

Gu Qing felt that she might need a little more time, or some other opportunity.

On the other side, Su Xiyue quietly gazed at Gu Qing's profile.

No matter the angle or the time of day, Gu Qing is always so beautiful.

Like a daffodil blooming at night, it exudes fragrance and is so beautiful that it seems to attract moonlight.

Last night's events were significant to her.

It was not only a novel physical experience, but more importantly, Gu Qing did not reject her.

Su Xiyue could see the contradiction and persistence on Gu Qing's face, and she could also sense the entanglement and struggle.

She could somewhat understand what Gu Qing was worried about, but she couldn't fully experience it firsthand.

But she knew that accompanying and persisting with Gu Qing, and gradually softening him, was an absolutely feasible approach.

To her, Gu Qing was not as unapproachable as she had imagined.

Beneath that aloof demeanor lies a sense of alienation and incompatibility, stemming from differences in their perspectives.

When Su Xiyue tried to understand and integrate into this concept, she discovered that Gu Qing was so lovely and charming.

Gu Qing's inner qualities are no less than his outer qualities, and may even be better.

This is what makes Gu Qing truly captivating, and what makes her unable to resist her charm.

Now, seeing Gu Qing clearly lost and struggling, Su Xiyue knew that she absolutely could not be too complacent or relaxed at this time.

Instead, we should continue our efforts.

After a moment's thought, Su Xiyue suddenly took Gu Qing's hand.

After grasping that soft, small hand, Su Xiyue felt the boy struggle noticeably.

But she didn't let go; instead, she held Gu Qing's hand captive, her watery eyes fixed on him.

Gu Qing caught a glimpse of a flirtatious glance out of the corner of his eye, but he dared not meet her gaze.

The skin on their hands was pressed tightly together, and they could clearly feel each other's temperature.

Gu Qing looked out the car window, not daring to turn his head, because he had not yet found the answer and did not know how to respond.

"too fast……"

After a long while, Gu Qing stopped struggling, but his words gently reached Su Xiyue's ears.

"I know."

Su Xiyue spoke, her hand still firmly planted.

She knew Gu Qing wasn't ready yet.

"I will wait patiently, until Gu Qing is ready, ready to spend the rest of my life with you."

Su Xiyue spoke softly.

It's a confession, a confidant, and an outpouring.

Su Xiyue didn't know what it felt like for other people to be in a relationship.

But she knew very well that she couldn't let Gu Qing get away.

Since her biological father passed away, she had never felt such heart palpitations and reluctance.

Admiration, love, infatuation, attachment, dependence... all these are her feelings for Gu Qing.

It's not just an impulse between opposite sexes, nor just feelings between lovers; it seems to carry much more.

Their relationship began to become strange, no longer as natural as before.

Although their hands were clasped together, Gu Qing couldn't naturally look Su Xiyue in the eye or speak to her.

Even for the brief moment their eyes met, he instinctively wanted to look away.

Su Xiyue would be exceptionally bold at this moment.

She made no attempt to hide her feelings for Gu Qing; her burning gaze was like the summer sun, capable of melting even the hardest ice.

7:15 pm

Gu Qing walked ahead, with Su Xiyue pushing two suitcases behind him.

"By the way, why didn't Zhou Jie come back to Jinling with us?"

Su Xiyue tried to break the dull atmosphere by changing the subject.

This is indeed effective.

Gu Qing parted his thin lips slightly and said, "Ning Yu has arrived in Jinling, so Zhou Jie returned yesterday."

148. Having dinner with the girl's roommates.

Back at their home in Jinling, the two tidied up briefly and then rested in the living room.

"Where shall we go out to eat?" Su Xiyue asked.

It's almost 9 p.m. now, so naturally I'm too lazy to cook at home.

"Is it okay to have a barbecue downstairs?"

Gu Qing suggested that he didn't want to take a car again today.

"No problem, that crayfish place will do!"

Su Xiyue's eyes lit up. With summer coming to an end, she naturally wanted to have beer, barbecue, and crayfish again.

After agreeing on their plans, the two prepared to change their shoes and go out.

Just then, Su Xiyue's phone rang.

A moment later, Su Xiyue covered the microphone of her phone and whispered in Gu Qing's ear:

“My roommate just got back too, and said we could have dinner together, Gu Qing, what do you think…”

Su Xiyue sought Gu Qing's opinion.

Although spending time alone with Gu Qing would be wonderful, she would prefer to formally introduce Gu Qing to her classmates and friends if possible.

In this way, she and Gu Qing will not only have some interaction in their daily lives, but their social circles will also gradually merge.

Su Xiyue hoped to subtly influence Gu Qing to gradually accept their relationship.

"Then let's go together!"

Gu Qing said frankly.

He is never afraid of socializing; he simply dislikes meaningless socializing.

Su Xiyue's roommates are not without significance.

After Gu Qing agreed, Su Xiyue immediately beamed with joy and gave the address to her phone.

"All done, let's go!"

Su Xiyue put away her phone and opened the door for Gu Qing.

After going downstairs, the evening breeze was refreshing.

Inside the residential area, thousands of lights are on; outside, neon lights flicker.

Gu Qing really enjoyed this down-to-earth, everyday atmosphere.

Street-side shops, roadside stalls, and 24-hour convenience stores always give people a sense of security at all times.

Gu Qing and Su Xiyue walked into the barbecue restaurant at the entrance of the residential area. Although it was late, the business was still booming.

Young urban men and women enjoy the wonderful summer nights.

After sitting down, Gu Qing looked at the table. Tables in barbecue restaurants like this are most prone to accumulating grease.

After confirming that the table and tableware were very clean, Gu Qing finally looked at the menu with peace of mind.

He was no stranger to barbecue, and after asking Su Xiyue what she wanted to eat, Gu Qing quickly placed his order.

Since Su Xiyue's roommates were coming later, the girl sat down next to Gu Qing.

"Would you like one serving of thirteen-spice lobster and one serving of spicy lobster?" Su Xiyue added.

She knew that Gu Qing rarely ate spicy food.

"Let's arrange it like this for now, and add more if needed." Gu Qing nodded.

"What would you like to drink?" Su Xiyue asked again.

"Uh... I'll have some herbal tea!"

Grilled lobster actually goes better with beer.

If it's freshly brewed draft beer, it's even better when poured into a frozen draft beer glass.

However, considering that Su Xiyue might be drinking with her roommates later, Gu Qing gave up the idea of ​​drinking himself.
