Qiu Yingying is reborn and bound to a learning system.

Everyone began to divide the work and cooperate.

Liang Jiaozhou and Zhao Qiping were in charge of setting up the tent and arranging the tables and chairs. The two big men worked quickly and efficiently, setting up the tent and arranging the folding tables and chairs neatly.

Fan Shengmei and Guan Juer were in charge of laying out the picnic blanket and arranging the food. Sandwiches, sushi, fruit salad, fried chicken, cake... the table was overflowing with food, a dazzling sight.

Qiu Yingying was busy taking pictures everywhere with her camera, sometimes of the scenery, sometimes of the food.

Qu Xiaoxiao, holding a bag of snacks, sat in a chair and gave instructions, "Hey, put that cake a little further in the middle, and that fruit salad over here..."

Andy stood aside, watching everyone busy at work, feeling a warm glow in his heart.

Liang Jiaozhou walked over and handed her a bottle of water. "Are you tired?"

"Not tired." Andy took the water, shook his head, and said, "Watching you all busy is quite interesting."

Liang Jiaozhou smiled, reached out and gently removed the fallen leaves from her hair, "Then you just stay here and watch, I'm here."

Andy paused for a moment, then looked up at him.

His eyes were as gentle as lake water, reflecting her image clearly.

Andy's heart skipped a beat. She quickly looked away and whispered, "Don't do that, they're all watching."

Liang Jiaozhou glanced at Qu Xiaoxiao and Qiu Yingying, who were secretly watching them from a distance, and a smirk played on his lips. "What does it matter?"

After he finished speaking, he didn't do anything else, but simply sat down beside her and watched the lake in the distance with her.

The sunlight shone on them, warm and comforting, and time seemed to slow down at that moment.

"Hey, Brother Liang, do you know how to fish?" Qiu Yingying took pictures around with her camera and finally found a new target. She ran over excitedly and asked with bright eyes.

"I know a little," Liang Jiaozhou nodded.

Upon hearing this, Qu Xiaoxiao immediately jumped up from her chair. "Then you teach us!"

Zhao Qiping smiled and nodded, "Great! It's been a long time since I've gone fishing."

Suddenly, the lakeside became lively.

Liang Jiaozhou took out several folding fishing rods and a box of bait from the trunk and distributed them to everyone. He first demonstrated to Qu Xiaoxiao how to bait the rod, how to cast the line, and how to read the float.

Qu Xiaoxiao, on the other hand, was there purely to cause trouble.

She let the line out too long one moment and pulled it too hard the next, resulting in not only failing to catch any fish but also nearly throwing the fishing rod into the lake.

"Qu Xiaoxiao!" Zhao Qiping sighed, rubbing his forehead in exasperation. "Can't you be serious for once?"

"I've already been very serious!" Qu Xiaoxiao said matter-of-factly. "It's not my fault that the fish won't bite."

Everyone was amused by her.

Andy sat on the grass, watching them play and frolic, and a slight smile crept onto his lips.

Liang Jiaozhou fished for a while, then turned around and saw her sitting there alone, so he went over to her.

"Why don't you come over and play together?" He sat down next to her.

"It's nice to watch you guys have fun," Andy said.

Liang Jiaozhou glanced at her, then suddenly reached out, took off his coat, and draped it over her shoulders.

"It's a bit windy, don't catch a cold."

Andy paused for a moment, then looked down at his coat.

His coat smelled clean and sunny, which was very pleasant.

She looked up at him. "Aren't you cold?"

"I'm not cold," Liang Jiaozhou shook his head. "I'm healthy."

As he spoke, he deliberately puffed out his chest, which made Andy laugh.

The smile was faint, yet like a spring breeze, it instantly dispelled all her coldness.

Liang Jiaozhou looked at her and smiled, his eyes becoming exceptionally gentle.

He knew she wasn't good at expressing her feelings and didn't like overly intimate gestures. So he always restrained himself, only showing warmth to her in these subtle ways.

And Andy, through these small acts of kindness, gradually lowered her guard and learned to accept and respond.

Meanwhile, Qiu Yingying and Guan Juer also tried fishing.

But after sitting for a short while, Qiu Yingying started looking around, "Why aren't there any fish yet? Guanguan, look at those pretty flowers over there!"

Guan Juer was also getting restless. "Maybe the fish haven't taken the bait yet... Should we wait a little longer?"

A few minutes later, Qiu Yingying completely lost her patience. "Ugh, this is so boring! I don't want to fish anymore!"

She put the fishing rod aside, her eyes darting around, "Guan Guan, let's play Ludo! I saw some in the car!"

Guan Juer laughed, "Sure, I'm not very good at fishing anyway."

So the two cleared out a corner of the picnic mat, set up a game of Ludo, and started having a great time.

"Ouch, you stepped on me again!" Qiu Yingying shouted.

"It's a matter of luck," Guan Juer said with a smile that crinkled her eyes.

Their laughter was crisp and bright, adding a touch of vitality to the quiet afternoon.

Andy looked at them, his smile never fading.

Liang Jiaozhou turned his head to look at her and suddenly said, "You seem... very happy today."

Andy paused, then turned to look at him. "Really?"

"Yes," Liang Jiaozhou nodded. "You smiled a lot today."

Andy's cheeks flushed slightly. She turned her head to look at the lake. "Maybe it's because... the weather is so nice today."

Liang Jiaozhou smiled and didn't expose her.

He knew that it wasn't just the weather that made her happy.

He stopped, turned around, and looked at her intently. "Andy."

"Hmm?" Andy stopped and looked at him.

"Thank you," Liang Jiaozhou said.

"Thank me for what?" Andy asked, puzzled.

"Thank you... for letting me into your life." Liang Jiaozhou's eyes were very serious. "And thank you for letting me get to know your friends."

Andy looked at him, a warm feeling rising in her heart.

She knew he wasn't good at sweet talk. For him to say something like that was already quite an achievement.

She thought for a moment, then said softly, "I...thank you too."

She paused, as if organizing her thoughts or gathering her courage.

"I used to think that love was a very complicated and dangerous thing," Andy said softly but firmly. "It can make people lose their minds and make wrong judgments. I'm used to protecting myself with logic and rules because that's the safest way."

She raised her head and looked at the distant lake, her eyes filled with a mixture of confusion and clarity.

"But later I discovered that life isn't a math problem that can be completely calculated," she said slowly. "Just like Fan Xiaomei said, some things, you'll never know the answer unless you try."

She turned her head and looked at Liang Jiaozhou, her eyes softening.

"I was afraid too, afraid that I wasn't good enough, afraid that I didn't know how to love others. But you... always appeared when I needed you most, showing me in your own way how heartwarming it is to be cared for and understood."

She took a soft breath, as if she had finally made up her mind.

"I think maybe I can try to believe just this once. Believe in you, and believe in myself."

Liang Jiaozhou's heart skipped a beat.

He looked at her, his eyes overflowing with tenderness.

He slowly reached out his hand, hesitated for a moment, and finally gently took her hand in his.

Andy's fingers stiffened slightly, then relaxed, letting him hold them.

His hands were warm and strong, making her feel safe and secure.

The two of them stood hand in hand by the lake, watching the sunset slowly descend, painting the sky a warm orange-red.

In the evening, everyone packed their things and prepared to return home.

Qu Xiaoxiao stretched and yawned, "Wow, I had so much fun today!"

"Yes, yes!" Qiu Yingying nodded, "We'll come again next time!"

Guan Juer smiled and agreed, "Next time we can come earlier, and we can see the stars at night."

"Great idea!" Qiu Yingying's eyes lit up. "Stargazing sounds so romantic!"

Qu Xiaoxiao glanced at Andy and Liang Jiaozhou's clasped hands, a mischievous smile playing on her lips. She then winked at Zhao Qiping, signaling him to look as well.

Andy was stunned for a moment, and subconsciously tried to pull her hand back, but Liang Jiaozhou held it even tighter.

Andy's cheeks flushed again. She glared at Qu Xiaoxiao and said, "Can you please stop staring at us like that?"

"I'm just wishing you both well," Qu Xiaoxiao said. "But as your sister, I still have to remind you, you'd better hold on tight to a man as good as President Liang."

"I will," Andy said.

This time, she neither dodged nor denied it, but looked at Liang Jiaozhou very seriously, her eyes filled with a firmness and a touch of shyness.

Liang Jiaozhou looked at her, and felt as if something had gently bumped into his heart.

He knew that this aloof and rational woman had unknowingly placed him in her heart.

And he will spend his whole life protecting this hard-won warmth.

The car slowly drove away from the lakeside, and the afterglow of the setting sun shone on the car windows, turning everything into a warm orange-red.

Inside the carriage, everyone chatted about the interesting things that happened today, and laughter filled the air.

Andy leaned back in the passenger seat, watching the lake recede into the distance outside the window, a faint smile on his lips.

Liang Jiaozhou held her hand, glancing at her every now and then.

At that moment, he suddenly felt that all the waiting and effort had been worthwhile.

He finally entered her world, and finally, he taught her to be a warm, emotional, smiling, and shy woman in front of him.

And this, perhaps, is the most beautiful form of love.
