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

Was it caused by an accident or by human intervention?

What happened then?

What did Gu Qing go through?

For a moment, a multitude of questions flooded Su Xiyue's mind.

Su Xiyue finally took a deep breath.

Normally, she could ask directly. Given Gu Qing's personality, she wouldn't hide anything unless it was something particularly private.

But now, especially now that she has reopened Gu Qing's wounds in that sordid manner, asking her questions would only add fuel to the fire.

"Calm down, calm down, you must first stabilize your state."

Su Xiyue silently told herself this.

When dinner was served, the rain outside the window still showed no signs of stopping.

The dinner table for two was unusually quiet today.

Since having dinner with Gu Qing, Su Xiyue has given up the habit of looking at her phone while eating.

Every time we eat, I talk to Gu Qing, no matter what we say.

But she found it difficult to speak today.

Several times, when she tried to muster her courage to apologize, she was met with Gu Qing's extremely indifferent gaze as soon as she looked up.

At that moment, Su Xiyue felt fear.

Stunned, he swallowed back the words that were about to come out.

It wasn't until after dinner, when Su Xiyue was preparing to clear the table, that she heard Gu Qing suddenly say:

Let's all calm down for a while!

Su Xiyue suddenly raised her head, a struggle flashing in her eyes.

"What's the meaning?"

Su Xiyue spoke with difficulty.

Even though I had just drunk water, my voice was unusually dry.

159. Temporary separation

Early the next morning.

Su Xiyue, with dark circles under her eyes, listlessly finished her breakfast.

She glanced at Gu Qing every now and then, as if she wanted to say something but hesitated.

Last night, after Gu Qing said, "Let's all calm down for a while," Su Xiyue's ominous premonition came true.

Gu Qing said he plans to move to the school dormitory for a while.

Su Xiyue was immediately shocked.

Her worst fears came true.

To be fair, if she were a delicate young man, she would also be afraid to spend every day with a girl who had done that to her.

However, no matter what, Gu Qing's departure was a consequence she absolutely could not bear.

She immediately began apologizing, even kneeling before Gu Qing to beg for his forgiveness.

But Gu Qing said, "I don't blame you."

"If I really want to refuse, I have a thousand ways."

"You can kick me or bite me, but the key point is that I didn't do anything."

Gu Qing looked at Su Xiyue, pointed to his head, and said seriously:

"I'm so confused about my own thoughts that I can't be honest with you or myself."

"I think... I need time and space to think this through carefully, understand?"

Gu Qing's words reassured Su Xiyue.

It wasn't because Gu Qing didn't blame her.

In fact, given her behavior, it's impossible to escape the charge of molestation if one insists on holding it against her, especially since Gu Qing had already said no.

If Su Changqin found out, she would probably break one of her legs first, and then throw her in to stomp on the sewing machine.

Therefore, the consequences are quite serious.

Of course, given Gu Qing's personality, none of the above would be possible.

What truly put Su Xiyue at ease was that she sensed affection in Gu Qing's words.

Without a doubt, Gu Qing was not an indifferent wooden figure.

Over time, Gu Qing developed feelings for her.

There might even be some ambiguity involved.

That's why Gu Qing kept indulging him.

Su Xiyue took advantage of the situation and went too far, which led to what happened.

But putting all that aside, Gu Qing meant that he was beginning to seriously consider his relationship with himself.

They can be family, siblings, or lovers.

Perhaps in Gu Qing's mind, the relationship between the two was even more complicated.

However, when Gu Qing takes the initiative to sort out these relationships, she always arrives at a final answer.

Su Xiyue understood what Gu Qing meant. If that hadn't happened, she would probably be jumping for joy right now.

However, Su Xiyue was still uncertain in her heart.

How will Gu Qing ultimately think about their relationship?

Is this final answer good or bad?

Su Xiyue was very worried about this.

Ultimately, Su Xiyue agreed to Gu Qing's suggestion to "cool down for a while."

However, it was also pointed out that it shouldn't be Gu Qing who needs to move to the school dormitory, but rather her.

One reason is that her home is far from her school.

Secondly, Gu Qing is currently busy with something that requires a separate personal space, which the school dormitory obviously cannot provide.

When Su Xiyue mentioned these factors, Gu Qing thought about it for a while and then agreed.

Su Xiyue planned to take it a step further, saying that she wouldn't live at home, but still hoped to pick up and drop off Gu Qing from school every day.

Gu Qing refused without hesitation.

Su Xiyue didn't insist, but instead asked Gu Qing to call her once every night, citing concern for Gu Qing's safety.

No need for video, just send a voice message to say you've arrived home.

The girl was smart; she knew that Gu Qing would never agree to pick her up and drop her off at school, so daily voice communication was what she really wanted.

And without a doubt, Gu Qing readily agreed to this.

Although the matter last night was resolved relatively well, Su Xiyue still felt a pang of heartache at the thought of separating from Gu Qing.

Moreover, it's unclear when this "branch office" will end.

What if something happens in the meantime?

Although Gu Qing never showed any interest in the other girls, Su Xiyue still lacked confidence.

It wasn't that she lacked confidence in Gu Qing, but as a girl herself, she knew very well how charming a boy like Gu Qing was.

If it's just about appearances, it might just be lust at first sight.

But once you truly understand Gu Qing, her inner beauty, even more captivating than her appearance, will make any woman fall for her.

This is also why Su Xiyue couldn't sleep well all night.

"Don't bother seeing me off today. Just take your luggage and take a taxi to school!"

After going downstairs, Gu Qing said directly.

Su Xiyue naturally wanted to refuse, but at this crucial moment of parting, she didn't want to upset Gu Qing any further.

After getting into the car, Su Xiyue took one last lingering look at Gu Qing, who was waving at her, and walked away with complicated emotions.

After watching Su Xiyue leave, Gu Qing tightened his collar, lowered his head, and hurried towards the school.

This road is usually accompanied by young girls.

Su Xiyue would always try to make Gu Qing laugh by telling jokes she'd heard from who-knows-where.

Or it could be about some fun things that happen between classes and dormitories on campus.

Gu Qing walked alone.
