Qiu Yingying is reborn and bound to a learning system.

Qiu Yingying was still squatting at the door, covering her face, her mind a complete mess, when suddenly, a small, black and white figure popped into her consciousness.

"Meow!!! Host, you're finally awake!!!"

Duoduo, hands on hips, bounced around in her mind, its short, black and white legs twitching, its tail puffed up like a little furball that was smoking with anger.

"How much did you drink last night?! I shouted at you until my voice was hoarse, but you couldn't hear a word!"

Qiu Yingying's head ached even more from the noise. "Duoduo? What's wrong with you...?"

"What happened to me? You almost scared me to death!!!" Duoduo continued babbling, "Yesterday, when you and that man were walking arm in arm, I felt something was wrong. My system alarms went off at full blast. I called your name, patted you, and poked you in your head, but you just wouldn't wake up!!!"

As it spoke, it gestured in her mind, its little arms waving wildly in the air, "I was almost crying with worry, but you, on the other hand, were so silly as to nod at them and say you knew them, even got on the bus together, and went home together—"

Qiu Yingying's face flushed red again, so red it looked like it was about to bleed.

"And then...and then..." Her voice was barely audible.

Duo Duo's fur stood on end even more fiercely. "And then? When the 'inappropriate for children' thing started, I was automatically dragged into the 'black room' by the system!!!"

It stomped its feet in anger, "I banged on the door, scratched the walls, and screamed for help, but it was no use!!! The system said something like 'Host detected entering an indescribable scene, forced isolation to protect the little sprite's mental health'—what mental problem do I have!!! I think you're the one who needs psychological counseling!!!"

Qiu Yingying: "..."

The awkward part is the situation itself.

What's even more embarrassing is that there were people next to her helping her review the situation.

She wished she could disappear into the ground and bury her face even deeper. "Stop talking... Duoduo, please stop talking..."

"I'm going to say it anyway!!!" Duoduo jumped in front of her, glaring at her with her round, black eyes. "Do you know how desperate I was!!! I watched you jump into the fire pit, and there was nothing I could do!!!"

It got more and more excited as it talked, its little paws flailing in the air, "I was practically singing 'Tante' to you, but you still didn't react at all!!!"

Qiu Yingying's ears turned bright red. "I... I was drunk back then..."

"Drinking too much is no excuse!!!" Duoduo said, hands on her hips. "If you ever dare to drink like that again, I'll... I'll..."

It fumed for a long time but couldn't come up with any harsh words, so it could only snort and say, "I'll empty your shopping cart!!!"

Qiu Yingying: "..."

This threat is more terrifying than the ones we just discussed.

Just as she was about to continue pretending to be dead while covering her face, her phone suddenly vibrated in her pocket.

Qiu Yingying paused for a moment, then carefully took out her phone.

The screen lit up—

19 missed calls.

They all belong to Fan Shengmei and Guan Juer.

There were several other text messages.

[Fan Shengmei]: Yingying, why didn't you reply to my messages last night?

[Guan Juer]: Sister Yingying, are you alright?

[Fan Shengmei]: Have you had too much to drink? Do you want me to come pick you up?

[Guan Juer]: We're a little worried about you...

Qiu Yingying felt a warmth in her heart as she read these messages, and her face flushed even more.

She took a deep breath and quickly replied with a text message:

[Qiu Yingying]: We had dinner too late yesterday and drank too much, so I slept in room 2204. I just woke up. I'm sorry to have worried you.

After sending it, she stared nervously at the screen.

A message came back within seconds.

[Fan Shengmei]: It's good that you're alright. Don't drink so much next time.

[Guan Juer]: Okay, remember to get some rest~

Qiu Yingying felt relieved when she saw the words "It's alright," but at the same time felt even more embarrassed.

The girls thought she was sleeping peacefully in room 2204, but actually...

She was holding her phone, squatting on the ground, her shoulders trembling slightly.

Duoduo sighed in her mind, patting her head with her little paw, "It's alright, host, don't blame yourself too much... what's done is done..."

It paused, then muttered under its breath, "Although it is indeed quite absurd..."

Qiu Yingying: "..."

She has already dug out a villa with her toes in 2204.

All she wants now is to bury herself in the ground and never come out again.

Qiu Yingying squatted by the door, holding her phone, her shoulders still trembling slightly, her face as red as a ripe tomato, her mind buzzing with the noise of Duo Duo's debriefing.

"Stop talking... Duoduo, please stop talking..." Her voice was muffled, trembling with tears.

Seeing her like this, Duoduo felt a little sorry for her. She scratched her head with her little paws and said, "Okay, okay, I won't say anything... What are you going to do now?"

Qiu Yingying opened her mouth, but found that she couldn't say anything.

Last night's events felt like an absurd dream, but the aches and pains in her body, her disheveled clothes, and the blushing images in her mind all served as reminders of what had happened.

All of this is true.

All she wants now is a good night's sleep and to forget about it all for now.

Qiu Yingying took a deep breath, leaned against the door, and slowly stood up, her legs still a little weak. She casually placed her phone on the entryway cabinet, and without even changing her shoes, ran towards the bedroom.

She threw herself onto her soft bed, buried her face in the pillow, and curled up like a dried shrimp.

The familiar scent of laundry detergent in the pillow finally eased her tense nerves a little.

too tired.

My body is tired, but my mind is even more tired.

She didn't even have the energy to think about what happened last night, or who that man was, or what to do next.

Sleepiness washed over her like a tide, enveloping her.

Qiu Yingying felt her eyelids getting heavier and heavier, and her breathing gradually became steady.

She fell asleep shortly afterward.

Duoduo looked at her sleeping face in her mind, sighed helplessly, crossed her little paws over her chest, and said, "Sigh... Host, oh host... you really are..."

It shook its head, and finally turned into a glimmer of light, quietly retreating into the depths of its consciousness.

The room finally quieted down.

Sunlight streamed through the gaps in the curtains, falling on Qiu Yingying's face. Her cheeks still had a faint blush, like a child who had done something wrong.

The light shone down her neck and fell on her skin that was exposed outside the blanket.

There were faint red marks on her collarbone, which appeared darker in the sunlight; there were also several light marks on her arms, as if they had been scratched hard.

The marks were clearly visible in the sunlight, as if silently reminding her of everything that had happened last night.

She slept soundly and peacefully, as if only in her dreams could she temporarily escape the absurdity and embarrassment of the previous night.
