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

But the constant sense of alienation and indifference emanating from him caused her a dull ache in her heart.

She had never imagined that her mother, who doted on her so much, would treat her cousin so cruelly.

136. Su Xiyue and Murong Yi

Although they are in the same university, everyone's lifestyle and learning style are different.

Gu Qing chose to focus on completing his studies diligently; he didn't care about anything else.

Having already experienced university life once, he cherishes those memories but has no intention of revisiting the past.

What's past is past.

Jiang Ziran, however, chose a different approach.

She was active from the military training period, serving as a class officer and student council member.

He seems to have an ambition, or perhaps it's just an interest.

Of course, this does not affect the friendship between Gu Qing and Jiang Ziran.

Or rather, Jiang Ziran was intentionally acting as a link between Gu Qing and the school.

It could be some other connection, who knows?

At noon, Gu Qing returned to his dormitory to rest and also met his three roommates.

Perhaps because Gu Qing is not often in the dormitory, there were some things on his desk.

It wasn't some random junk, but rather several well-packaged gift boxes.

Upon seeing Gu Qing return to the dormitory, Liang Feifei paused for a moment, then pointed to the items on Gu Qing's desk and said:

"Gu Qing, those are all for you."

Gu Qing looked puzzled, glanced at it, and asked, "Where did it come from?"

Liang Feifei stood up and explained one by one: "This small one was a gift from Lin Fang's girlfriend, who just started dating him. Everyone in our dorm has one."

"The older one is the student council president I mentioned last time; she asked me to pass this on to you."

“The one next to me is a girl from my class whose name is…” Liang Feifei thought for a few seconds before remembering a surname, “Anyway, it was given to me by a girl surnamed Meng. She’s not particularly good-looking, and I really don’t remember her name.”

After listening, Gu Qing stared at the things on the table in silence for a while.

Then, he picked up the smallest box and said to Lin Fang, who was playing on his phone:

"Please thank your girlfriend for me, and I wish you both a long and happy marriage."

Lin Fang, who was playing on his phone, hadn't said anything when Yu Kai, who was next to him, suddenly burst out laughing.

"Gu Qing, it sounds like you're giving a wedding speech. When is our little Fangfang getting married?"

Yu Kai looked in Lin Fang's direction and said jokingly.

Lin Fang still hadn't let go of his phone. He just glared at Yu Kai with annoyance before saying to Gu Qing:

"The day before the holiday this week, my girlfriend said she wanted to treat everyone to a meal. Both of them are fine with it. Gu Qing, what about you?"

"OK."

Gu Qing nodded.

Whether it's because of the gift or because of Lin Fang, this small amount of face still needs to be given.

Moreover, it's clear that Lin Fang seems to be in the throes of new love.

"Great, now everyone in our dorm is here!"

Upon receiving Gu Qing's response, Lin Fang appeared very happy and frantically typed on his phone, seemingly sending a message.

Meanwhile, Gu Qing looked at the two remaining gift boxes on the table, smiled faintly at Liang Feifei, and said:

"Feifei, could you please return these to me? After all, we're strangers. I'll treat you to dinner when I come back from the holiday!"

Gu Qing spoke very politely, but her words also contained another layer of meaning.

These are the gifts; you don't need to collect them on my behalf anymore.

Liang Feifei glanced at Gu Qing, a hint of envy flashing in her eyes, before speaking:

"Okay, I'll return it to you, and I won't accept any more for you in the future."

Although his tone was calm, there was a hint of resentment in it.

From Liang Feifei's perspective, accepting these gifts on behalf of Gu Qing was also a way of helping Gu Qing expand her social circle.

What's wrong with getting to know more girls? It doesn't mean you have to be in a relationship.

This is where his and Gu Qing's ways of thinking differed.

To some extent, Liang Feifei takes girls' gifts for granted.

As long as the value isn't too high, he'll just buy it.

In Gu Qing's eyes, even the cheapest gift carries a certain emotional and sentimental value.

Who can know how much meaning these gifts hold?

After dealing with the gifts, Gu Qing was about to rest for a while when Yu Kai handed her a snack bag.

Yu Kai said, "I won't accept gifts from others, but you must accept mine. Take it!"

"I've been helping out local businesses sell their products recently, and I sent a bunch of samples. Gu Qing, could you help me with that?"

This time, Gu Qing did not refuse.

Although he doesn't like eating snacks, Yu Kai is the most career-oriented person in the dormitory, and you can get along with him quite well.

Gu Qing's side hustle plan is also to run a self-media platform. Although the directions are different, they can still have some common topics.

"Okay, then I'm welcome."

Gu Qing smiled at Yu Kai.

……

In the afternoon, at the gate of Jinan University.

Su Xiyue opened the car door and, as always, headed to Jinda University to pick up Gu Qing and take her home.

But after taking only two steps, a voice came from behind:

"Do you have a moment? I have a few words I'd like to say to you."

Su Xiyue turned her head, glanced at it, and after thinking for a few seconds, she remembered.

The person who appeared was Murong Yi, who had once called Gu Qing "Murong Qing" at the school gate and claimed to be Gu Qing's cousin.

Su Xiyue knew that Gu Qing didn't give this so-called cousin a friendly look, so she didn't intend to pay any attention to her.

Just as he was about to ignore Xiang Qian, he heard Murong Yi say again, "Regarding Murong... no, regarding Gu Qing, since you are his girlfriend, you should know something."

Su Xiyue stopped taking a step at this moment.

After the two arrived at a shady spot under a tree, Murong Yi first looked Su Xiyue up and down before asking, "Are you a rich second-generation?"

Su Xiyue shook her head. Strictly speaking, she was a second-generation official.

Murong Yi didn't show any expression, but she was clearly somewhat distrustful.

After a moment of silence, Murong Yi said solemnly, "I don't care what your identity is, but since Gu Qing chose you, you absolutely cannot let him down!"

Do you need to say this?

Su Xiyue glanced at Murong Yi but did not speak.

If the other party is a relative with whom Gu Qing has a good relationship, she will definitely immediately put on a smiling face and warmly welcome them.

However, it is clear that Gu Qing has a very bad relationship with this relative, so she, who is on Gu Qing's side, will never give Murong Yi any good attitude.

“Gu Qing has been different since childhood, appearing very mature and independent.”

Murong Yi ignored Su Xiyue's attitude and continued her story slowly.

“I was very young at the time, and I always thought he was the kind of child who was good at grades and obedient, but that was all.”

“It wasn’t until later, when something happened in his family, that Gu Qing stepped forward.”

"Although I only found out about this recently, it really... really surprised me..."

Murong Yi was crafting adjectives, her eyes filled with complex emotions.

"In short, you absolutely cannot let him get hurt again, or I will never let you off the hook!"

Murong Yi stared intently into Su Xiyue's eyes, seemingly waiting for an answer.

At this moment, Su Xiyue finally spoke.

"Again?"

"What do you mean? Gu Qing has been hurt?"

At this moment, Su Xiyue finally revealed her emotions, her anxiety and concern showing on her face.
