After being reborn, the school beauty's entire family knelt down to repent.

He pointed to several brightly colored graffiti on the wall, trying to distract Wang Qingyue.

Wang Qingyue followed Chen Ming's finger and forced a smile: "Yes, it is quite special."

Although she didn't appreciate the graffiti, she didn't want to dampen Chen Ming's enthusiasm.

Wang Qingyue didn't say anything more, but silently followed Chen Ming to an empty computer.

Chen Ming turned on the computer and demonstrated some simple operations to her.

Wang Qingyue stared blankly at the blinking cursor on the screen.

Suddenly, a young man with dyed blond hair and wearing bell-bottoms walked up to Chen Ming.

With a grin, he asked, "Brother Ming, who is this beautiful lady...?"

Before Chen Ming could speak, the blond-haired man leaned close to Wang Qingyue and said in a frivolous tone, "Beautiful lady, want to play a game together? I'll teach you."

As he spoke, he reached out to touch Wang Qingyue's hair.

Chen Ming's expression changed, and he grabbed the blond-haired man's wrist, saying sternly, "Get out of here!"

Chen Ming shoved the blond-haired man aside with such force that the man staggered several steps and almost fell. "What are you doing?!"

The blond-haired man stood firm, cursing and pointing at Chen Ming's nose, ready to unleash his fury.

Chen Ming's eyes were sharp as knives. He grabbed the blond-haired man by the collar and lifted him up like a chick.

"Try touching her again and see what happens?" he said coldly, his voice carrying a strong warning.

The air around us seemed to freeze, filled with the smell of gunpowder.

The blond-haired man was stunned by Chen Ming's imposing presence, and his previously arrogant demeanor immediately subsided by half.

The surrounding customers were drawn to the commotion, stopping their games to watch curiously.

Some people whispered, some gloated, and others whistled and jeering.

Not wanting to escalate the situation, Chen Ming released the blond-haired man and warned, "Stay away from her from now on, understand?"

Huang Mao rubbed his collar, which was throbbing from being pulled, glared fiercely at Chen Ming, and slunk back to his seat.

Chen Ming led Wang Qingyue to a relatively quiet corner. "Are you alright?" he asked with concern, his tone tinged with apology.

Wang Qingyue's face was pale. She shook her head slightly but still did not speak.

The scene she had just witnessed made her feel very uneasy. The environment of the internet cafe, coupled with the blond-haired man's flirtatious behavior, made her feel uncomfortable.

"I'm sorry, I startled you." Chen Ming apologized again, knowing that Wang Qingyue felt unfamiliar and uncomfortable with everything here.

Wang Qingyue took a deep breath, trying to calm herself down. "Chen Ming," she finally spoke, a hint of disappointment in her voice, "is this your...ideal?"

Chen Ming was taken aback; he hadn't expected Wang Qingyue to ask that.

"I..." Chen Ming opened his mouth, but didn't know how to explain.

He couldn't very well tell Wang Qingyue that he had been reborn from the future, could he?

“I thought…” Wang Qingyue paused, then continued, “I thought you would do something more meaningful.”

Her tone was full of disappointment.

Chen Ming's heart sank; he knew Wang Qingyue had misunderstood him.

In his mind, opening an internet cafe was not just about making money, but also about leaving his mark on this era.

"Qingyue, let me explain..." Chen Ming tried to salvage the situation, but Wang Qingyue interrupted him.

“No need to explain,” Wang Qingyue shook her head. “I understand.” After she finished speaking, she turned to leave.

Chen Ming grabbed her wrist. "Qingyue, you've really misunderstood! Give me a chance to prove to you that I'm not what you think!"

His tone was pleading, and his eyes were filled with anxiety.

Wang Qingyue looked at Chen Ming with a complicated expression. Seeing the sincerity in Chen Ming's eyes, she also wavered a little.

Just then, the door to the internet cafe was suddenly pushed open, and Zhao Rou walked in.

Chen Ming's expression immediately changed.

She still had that alluring look in her eyes, and walked towards him slowly and gently.

Zhao Rou walked up to Chen Ming, a charming smile playing on her lips: "Chen Ming, I haven't seen you for a few days, and you've changed girlfriends again?"

Wang Qingyue was angered by Zhao Rou's flippant tone. She gripped Chen Ming's hand tightly and stared directly back at Zhao Rou.

Chen Ming inwardly cried out in alarm; the last thing he wanted to see was Zhao Rou appear here.

"Zhao Rou, don't talk nonsense!" Chen Ming's tone was icy, carrying a hint of warning.

"I'm talking nonsense?" Zhao Rou covered her mouth and chuckled. "Am I wrong? You've changed women one after another. Who knows how long this one will last?"

Wang Qingyue could no longer hold back. She flung Chen Ming's hand away and glared at Zhao Rou, saying, "Who are you? What gives you the right to talk about Chen Ming like that?"

Zhao Rou raised an eyebrow, a hint of disdain flashing in her eyes: "Who am I? I'm Chen Ming's ex-girlfriend. What? Is there a problem?"

"Ex-girlfriend?" Wang Qingyue was stunned. She turned to look at Chen Ming, her eyes full of questions.

Chen Ming's face turned ashen; he hadn't expected Zhao Rou to say such things in front of Wang Qingyue.

"Qingyue, she's not my ex-girlfriend, we have nothing to do with each other, let me explain..." Chen Ming tried to explain, but Wang Qingyue interrupted him.

"No need for explanations," Wang Qingyue said coldly. "I don't want to hear it."

She said, turned around and prepared to leave.

Chen Ming hurriedly grabbed Wang Qingyue's wrist and explained urgently, "Qingyue, she and I really have nothing to do with each other. You've misunderstood!"

However, Zhao Rou had already arrived beside them, a meaningful smile appearing on her lips.

"Chen Ming, how could you say that to someone?" she said in a coquettish voice, so sweet it was almost cloying.

Chen Ming looked at Zhao Rou with a cold face: "Zhao Rou, don't talk nonsense. I've warned you many times, stay away from me!"

Zhao Rou remained unmoved, smiled charmingly, reached out and gently stroked Chen Ming's shoulder, deliberately getting closer to him.

She sighed softly and said in a sweet, gentle voice, "Chen Ming, how could you be so heartless to me? We used to love each other so much."

Wang Qingyue's face turned even uglier when she saw this.

She shook off Chen Ming's hand, her eyes filled with tears, and said, "Chen Ming, I never thought you would be this kind of person!"

Seeing Wang Qingyue waver, Zhao Rou's eyes flashed with a hint of smugness. She then turned to Chen Ming and continued to play the role of a deeply affectionate woman.

"Chen Ming, you once said you would protect me and take care of me for the rest of your life. Have you forgotten?"

Chen Ming was filled with rage.

He shoved Zhao Rou away abruptly and said sharply, "Zhao Rou, that's enough! Stop acting!"

Zhao Rou staggered, but still maintained a smile, her eyes filled with grievance, and her voice grew increasingly weak.

As if she had suffered a tremendous injustice: "Chen Ming, I really don't understand why you're treating me like this? How could you say such things in front of her?"
