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

The two seemed to have rediscovered the feeling they had when they were in love, constantly showering Gu Qing and Su Xiyue with sweet moments.

During this period, Su Xiyue continued to stick to Gu Qing's side every day as usual.

Help with housework and assist with cooking.

Moreover, she would always compete with Gu Qing to wash his socks, which really puzzled Gu Qing.

Foot fetishism is understandable, but fetishism is something I've heard of before.

But his white socks aren't stockings, so what's so special about them?

Gu Qing could only interpret it as the girl trying to curry favor with him.

Besides sticking close to Gu Qing, Su Xiyue would also chat with the new students in the group chat every day and browse forums and online communities.

Before she knew it, she had gained a certain understanding of the university she had applied to, Jinxin University.

They also learned about Jin University, where Gu Qing studied.

Consider it a chance to familiarize yourself with the route to find Gu Qing.

As for Gu Qing himself...

Over the past twenty days, I have finished reading two more foreign books and am trying to write a related report.

Unfortunately, to this day, he has not been able to write anything that satisfies Gu Qing himself.

It seems that more time and experience are needed.

Although he was a war correspondent in his previous life, due to the nature of his profession, he mostly wrote short news reports.

Now, in order to systematically organize and write about this, and to re-understand the world's geography, history, and politics, Gu Qing still has a long way to go.

Fortunately, Gu Qing is not in a hurry now; he has plenty of time and patience.

In fact, we have to thank Su Changqin for this; it's all thanks to his stepmother, who has a good social standing and financial resources.

But it’s normal when you think about it.

Just as Su Changqin liked Gu Yuan's personality, but his appearance also played a role.

Gu Yuan admired Su Changqin's conscientiousness and responsibility, which also included Su Changqin's status and wealth.

Otherwise, no matter how much Gu Yuan admires or likes her, she would never allow her son Gu Qing to live a hard life for the sake of her own love.

Passion and soul are love.

But it's only one part of love.

The mundane details of daily life, such as firewood, rice, oil, and salt, also form the foundation of love.

The saying "love without material support is like a pile of loose sand" is actually quite narrow in its interpretation.

To be precise, it should be: "Anything without matter is nothingness."

Because humans exist in the material world.

Without a body, how can there be a soul?

……

Saturday, August 25th, cloudy weather.

There are six days left until Gu Qing and Su Xiyue start school.

This morning, the family of four started packing their luggage early.

They were going to Jinling City to rent a house near Gu Qing's university for two college students to live in for four years.

Besides that, Su Changqin might have some business matters to handle in Jinling, but that's another matter.

Although I was packing my luggage, I didn't actually need to bring much.

Clothes can be purchased online or mailed from home.

Once you've rented a place, you can buy your daily necessities nearby.

So Gu Qing's luggage, besides a few sets of clothes to change into, consisted of a mobile phone, a laptop, and a box of frequently used reference books.

In contrast, Su Xiyue seemed to be traveling with a lighter load.

She only brought a few changes of clothes and some commonly used electronic devices.

After packing their luggage, the family got into their car, driven by Su Changqin, with Gu Yuan in the passenger seat.

After the car got on the highway, Su Changqin suggested, "Xiyue, the highway is much easier to drive on than in the city, do you want to give it a try?"

Upon hearing this, Su Xiyue was immediately tempted.

But after glancing at Gu Qing beside him, he gave up the idea.

Gu Qing's attire remained simple today, except that her hair had grown longer than before, now covering her shoulders.

Since the car was air-conditioned and not hot, Gu Qing didn't tie her hair up in a ponytail, but let it hang loose.

This gave Gu Qing an extra layer of gentle and quiet temperament.

Today's Gu Qing is even cuter!

"No need, Mom, safety comes first!"

Su Xiyue came up with a reason to refuse.

After hearing this, Su Changqin nodded, a slight smile appearing at the corner of her mouth.

She was just testing the waters.

People who have just learned to drive often have a certain desire to drive.

This is also the time when accidents are most likely to happen.

At home, she could still keep an eye on Su Xiyue, but once she got to university, she was no longer able to control her.

Therefore, she had every reason to worry about Su Xiyue acting recklessly, which is why she went to test the waters.

Moreover, Gu Yuan and Gu Qing are sitting in the car right now, so we can't risk their safety no matter what.

The trial went well.

Her daughter knew what was important, which put her at ease.

It is about 200 kilometers from Los Angeles to Nanjing.

With Su Changqin's driving speed, the car entered the Nanjing Ring Expressway in less than two hours.

Compared to Luoyang, a small third-tier city, Jinling City is much more prosperous, with a permanent population of 950 million.

As expected, traffic jams started as soon as we got off the ring road.

Su Changqin and her daughter Su Xiyue had some relatives in Jinling, so this was naturally not their first time here.

Gu Yuan had visited this place several times before getting married.

Gu Qing was the only one present, having never set foot in this ancient capital with a history of thousands of years.

That's not entirely true, because Gu Qing did pass through this area on his way back to Luoyang from Shanghai, but he didn't actually set foot here.

Nanjing is not as bustling as Shanghai, but the city is exceptionally clean and tidy, and it is not as fast-paced and oppressive as Shanghai.

The overall impression is one of civility, cleanliness, tidiness, and antique charm.

Along the way, you can see many rare ancient buildings.

"There are several places in Jinling that are very worth visiting. If Qingqing has time in the future, she can go and see them all."

While waiting at the traffic light, Su Changqin took the opportunity to give Gu Qing a brief introduction to the city.

Although she already knew enough about it online, Gu Qing still listened patiently.

This introduction to the best food and fun things to do in Nanjing only ended when the car pulled into the parking lot of the pre-booked hotel.

When traveling with her family, Su Changqin doesn't have the habit of saving money.

Therefore, we booked a suite in a star-rated hotel, which consisted of three rooms, one large and two small, which was just right for our family of four.

98. Rental matters

The Su family has some relatives in Nanjing.

But it was clear that neither Su Changqin nor Su Xiyue intended to visit these relatives.

At least that's the case for now.

After settling into the hotel, we rested for a while.

Around noon, Su Changqin took her family to a private restaurant specializing in local Huaiyang cuisine, which they had booked in advance.

Huaiyang cuisine tends to be light and delicate, with meticulous preparation, elegant style, and a greater emphasis on the original flavor of the ingredients.

This is why the requirements for ingredients are relatively high.

Besides that, there was the exquisite knife skill that Gu Qing could not learn with his hands or brain.

Dishes such as braised crab meat lion's head and squirrel-shaped mandarin fish are extremely demanding in terms of skill.
