Qiu Yingying is reborn and bound to a learning system.

The festive atmosphere of the Lunar New Year is gradually returning to the Joyful Song residential community. As soon as Qiu Yingying was on holiday, she felt completely relaxed and was busy every day.

Early that morning, as soon as she got up, she called out to her beloved little cat, Duoduo.

"Duoduo, Duoduo, come out quickly!" Qiu Yingying sat cross-legged on the bed, the hood of her panda-themed pajamas flipping up and down.

A slight ripple appeared in the air, and a tiny black and white cat, no bigger than a palm, materialized out of thin air. It swished its tail, jumped onto her lap, and nuzzled her hand with its head: "Host, what are you up to now?"

"I'm sending you a red envelope!" Qiu Yingying opened the system interface with a smile, clicked on the points redemption, and with a "ding," transferred 1000 points to Duoduo.

Duo Duo glanced down at her points balance and her eyes lit up instantly: "Wow! Host, you're so generous!"

It excitedly spun around twice on Qiu Yingying's lap, its little tail standing straight up.

Looking at its greedy little face, Qiu Yingying couldn't help but laugh: "Whatever makes you happy. Anyway, I don't know what these points can be used for."

The fantastical items in the system shop often cost millions or even tens of millions of points, which is not even a fraction of what she currently has. But for Duoduo, points are energy, the "money" she uses to buy all sorts of snacks, toys, and gadgets in the system space.

Duoduo was so excited that she floated around the room, sometimes turning into a little ball of fur, and sometimes turning back into a kitten.

It suddenly surged to something, and with a "whoosh," it darted into the system's built-in chat group.

The group chat instantly became lively—

[Duoduo]: Hehehe, my host sent me a big red envelope with 1000 points!!

[Orange Cat]: Wow, your host is so generous?

[Tanuki Cat]: I'm so envious. My host is so stingy, he only gives me 10 points for completing a task.

【Cow Cat】: You're just stirring up trouble, Duoduo.

[Sanhua]: Want to play mahjong together during the Chinese New Year? I'll win some of your points.

[Duoduo]: Come on, come on, I'm not afraid! My host will definitely send me red envelopes again!

[Orange Cat]: Tch, don't cry when you lose.

[Duoduo]: Hmph, I'm going to give my host a big surprise on New Year's Day!

Qiu Yingying listened to Duo Duo chattering away in her mind, arguing with the other system cats, and a smile remained on her lips.

She stretched, checked the time, and sent a message to Guan Juer on her phone:

[Yingying]: Guanguan, are you going to buy New Year's goods today? I'll drive you!

[Guan Guan]: Okay, okay, I also want to go out for a walk.

In the afternoon, Qiu Yingying changed into a simple beige coat and dyed her hair back to its natural black color. Although she still had curly hair, she had a treatment at the hair salon, making her hair smooth and shiny, and she looked clean and neat.

She arranged to meet Guan Juer downstairs. Guan Juer's eyes lit up as soon as she saw her: "Yingying, you look so good with your hair black again!"

"Really?" Qiu Yingying touched her hair, her eyes crinkling with laughter. "I also think black suits me better."

The two of them went for a skin care treatment first, lying on the beauty bed with face masks on, chatting casually.

"Yingying, I like holidays." Guan Juer said softly, her eyes closed, "I especially like coming out with you."

"Hehe." Qiu Yingying said a little shyly, "Me too."

After the treatments, both of their skin felt soft and supple. They each bought a cup of milk tea and strolled around, enjoying their drinks.

The shopping mall was decorated with lanterns and colorful decorations, and signs for the "New Year's Goods Festival" were everywhere. Qiu Yingying bought thermal underwear and outerwear for her parents to take them shopping on their own when she got home, and also prepared some small gifts for her relatives; Guan Juer bought health products and scarves for her parents.

After shopping at the mall, the two went to the supermarket together.

"Guan Guan, aren't you going to buy some New Year's goods?" Qiu Yingying pushed the shopping cart and looked at the few things Guan Juer was holding with a bit of surprise.

Guan Juer smiled helplessly: "My mom said she's already prepared all the New Year's goods for the family, and told me not to buy too much, as it would be difficult to carry back home."

She paused, then added softly, "Besides... I probably won't be in the mood to eat when I get back."

The thought of her family's endless blind dates made her feel utterly dejected.

Qiu Yingying patted her shoulder: "Don't overthink it. We'll deal with whatever comes our way. If you have any problems, just tell us. Four strategists are better than Zhuge Liang."

As she spoke, she frantically stuffed things into her shopping cart: nuts, candy, cookies, preserved meat, seafood, fruit... she bought almost every kind of New Year's goods she could think of in the supermarket.

As she strolled around, Qiu Yingying suddenly stopped.

"What's wrong?" Guan Juer asked.

"Guan Guan," Qiu Yingying turned to look at her, "Sister Fan isn't going home for the New Year and has to work. She must not be eating well by herself. Shall we buy her some food?"

Guan Juer immediately nodded: "Okay, okay, that's what I was just about to say."

So the two of them started carefully selecting items in the supermarket again.

"Sister Fan has a sensitive stomach, so I'll buy some stomach-soothing things," Qiu Yingying said as she put several boxes of oatmeal, milk, yogurt, and some easily digestible bread into the car.

"She likes spicy food, so I'll buy some of her favorite snacks." Guan Juer picked out a few bags of spicy strips and other snacks that Fan Shengmei often eats, and also a few bags of nuts. "She can eat these if she gets hungry at night."

"Buy some more frozen dumplings and glutinous rice balls, so she can cook something to eat if she gets off work late." Qiu Yingying bought a few more bags of frozen food.

"And fruit, more vitamins." Guan Juer picked out apples, oranges, and strawberries. "She'll definitely like strawberries."

The two of them chatted back and forth and soon bought Fan Shengmei a whole bag full of food.

"That way, Sister Fan won't have a bad meal during the New Year." Qiu Yingying looked at the big bag of things and nodded in satisfaction.

Guan Juer smiled and said, "Yes, she must be quite lonely spending the New Year alone. Having this food will at least warm her heart."

After paying the bill, the two of them were carrying bags of all sizes, their arms almost breaking from the strain, before they finally made their way to Joyful Song.

As soon as I arrived at the entrance of the apartment building, I saw Liang Jiaozhou standing there, carrying a bag of fresh vegetables and fruits, as well as some cooked food.

"President Liang?" Qiu Yingying was a little surprised.

Liang Jiaozhou saw them and nodded with a smile: "Buying New Year's goods?"

"Yes, yes, I bought too much." Qiu Yingying shook the bag in her hand a little embarrassedly. "I also bought a lot of food for Sister Fan, because I was worried that she wouldn't eat well during the New Year alone."

"You're so kind." Liang Jiaozhou smiled and naturally took the heaviest bags from her hands. "I'm going to find Andy anyway, so I'll help you carry them upstairs."

"Thank you, Mr. Liang!" Qiu Yingying and Guan Juer said in unison.

Liang Jiaozhou smiled, said nothing more, and carried his things upstairs first.

After he entered 2201, Qiu Yingying and Guan Juer carried the remaining items back to 2202.

As soon as they entered the door, the two of them collapsed onto the sofa, exhausted.

"Phew... I'm exhausted." Qiu Yingying let out a long sigh of relief and buried herself in the soft sofa.

Guan Juer rubbed her wrist, which was red from being tied up, and whispered, "I didn't expect buying New Year's goods to be so tiring."

Guan Juer picked up the juice on the table and took a sip. "By the way, Yingying, did you know? Andy said that President Liang is worried that she won't have time to cook, so he goes to the supermarket every week to buy all kinds of vegetables, fruits, and food, keeping her refrigerator full and neat. He even makes sure to check the expiration dates of the bread and milk for her."

"Really? Someone in such a high position would spend time on such trivial matters instead of simply giving orders to subordinates. Brother Liang is really serious about Sister Andy." Qiu Yingying looked up in surprise.

"Yes!" Guan Juer's eyes also sparkled. "And President Liang cooks for Sister Andy whenever he has free time, and he often picks her up and drops her off from get off work. When that subordinate passed away last time, President Liang stayed with her the whole time. I heard that he even donated money to the place where Andy's brother lives to improve the environment there, without letting Sister Andy know. Sister Andy found out about it herself later."

As she spoke, she exclaimed, "President Liang is so good to Sister Andy!"

She lowered her head and muttered softly, "That's so nice... When will I ever meet someone like that?"

The voice wasn't loud, but it carried a hint of envy, a touch of longing, and a slight sense of disappointment.

Qiu Yingying was stunned for a moment, then took her hand and said, "Yes, Guan Guan. You're so wonderful, you're sure to meet someone who's incredibly kind to you."

Guan Juer looked up at Qiu Yingying's sincere eyes, feeling a warmth in her heart, and gently nodded: "Mm."

The night outside the window grew darker, but inside the room it was warm and cozy. Two girls leaned back on the sofa, sipping juice and chatting about their New Year's expectations, the air filled with relaxation and comfort.
