Qiu Yingying is reborn and bound to a learning system.

Just then, as if she had made up her mind, Andy put down her glass and gently ran her fingers along the glass. Her movements remained calm, but there was a hint of hesitation that was less noticeable than usual.

She looked up at everyone, her eyes still clear and rational as ever, but deep in her eyes, there was a soft light that even she herself was unaware of.

"Um... I have something I want to tell you." Her tone was calm, revealing little emotion.

All eyes immediately turned to her.

"What's wrong?" Qiu Yingying asked curiously.

Andy pursed her lips slightly, as if considering her words. After a couple of seconds, she spoke in her usual concise manner: "I... am in a relationship."

"Huh?!"

"Really?!"

"Wow! Andy!"

An uproar instantly erupted around the dining table.

"Who is it?! Who is it?!" Qu Xiaoxiao was the most agitated, immediately putting down the crab leg she was holding. "Confess now!"

Fan Shengmei looked at her with interest. "When did this happen? How come we didn't hear a thing?"

Guan Juer looked delighted. "Andy, congratulations!"

Andy paused slightly under their gazes, as if unaccustomed to such a display, but a faint smile flashed in his eyes before he quickly regained his composure.

"It's... Liang Jiaozhou," she said.

"Liang Jiaozhou?!" Qiu Yingying exclaimed, "Is that the really handsome guy who owns a software company?!"

Andy nodded. "Mm."

"Wow!" Qiu Yingying's eyes lit up. "I knew there was something going on between you two! He's so good to you; he's always there for you the moment you need him!"

Qu Xiaoxiao raised an eyebrow, her tone slightly teasing, "Oh—so it's that rich second-generation guy who came back from military service. Not bad, Andy, you have good taste."

"He's not the kind of person you think he is," Andy said calmly, explaining for him. Her tone remained calm, but carried a hint of protectiveness. "He's very disciplined and hardworking."

Fan Shengmei smiled and said, "Then I really have to congratulate you, Andy. Liang Jiaozhou seems to be a very reliable person, and he's also very considerate towards you."

"Yes, yes," Guan Juer chimed in, "I feel like his eyes are especially gentle when he looks at you."

Upon hearing this, Andy's eyelashes trembled slightly, as if something had struck him, and the corners of his mouth turned up almost imperceptibly.

It wasn't a loud laugh, nor was it obvious joy; it was just a very light, faint smile, yet it was enough for those who knew her well to understand her mood at that moment.

She picked up her wine glass, took a small sip as if to conceal something, and then continued, "He... wants to invite you all out for a walk. A picnic in the countryside this weekend, and maybe some fishing. Are you... free?"

Her tone remained calm, even indifferent, but if you looked closely, you would notice that her eyes were much softer than usual, as if they held a hint of expectation and a subtle joy.

That joy wasn't outwardly expressed, but rather restrained and subtle, hidden in her eyes, in her slightly clenched fingertips, and in that moment of silence. More than anything, it was the comfort of finding someone to accompany her.

"Yes, yes, yes!" Qiu Yingying was the first to raise her hand. "I'm free! Picnic! Fishing! It sounds like so much fun!"

"I'm free too," Guan Juer nodded with a smile.

Fan Shengmei looked at Andy, her eyes full of relief, "I'm fine too."

Qu Xiaoxiao shrugged. "Sure, I'm bored on the weekend anyway. But let me make this clear: I'm only responsible for eating and playing, not fishing."

She paused, as if suddenly remembering something, her eyes lighting up, "That's right! I'm bringing my darling Zhao along too!"

"Huh?" Qiu Yingying was taken aback. "Is Dr. Zhao coming too?"

"Of course!" Qu Xiaoxiao said matter-of-factly. "He's been saying he wants to hang out with you guys every day lately, so this picnic is a good opportunity for him to get out and enjoy some fresh air."

Fan Shengmei shook her head with a smile, "You, you never forget to bring your Dr. Zhao with you wherever you go."

"Yes, I brought my Tang Elder along," Qu Xiaoxiao corrected, a hint of smugness in her voice. "Besides, more people mean more fun."

Guan Juer smiled too, "It's great, it's more fun with more people."

Andy nodded slightly in response, "Welcome! It's more fun with more people."

Although her tone remained calm, the gentle smile in her eyes deepened.

Everyone laughed again.

Andy looked at them, and that faint smile reappeared on his lips, this time even more pronounced than before.

She raised her glass. "Then...how about we get together this weekend?"

"Together!"

"Cheers!"

The rich aroma of red wine filled her mouth, the fresh scent of hairy crab lingered on her tongue, and in Andy's heart, there was a soft and warm feeling she had never experienced before.
