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

Li Yu was completely bewildered by his mysterious demeanor and asked in confusion:

"Hey Chen Ming, what are you doing? You're being so secretive. Anyone who didn't know better would think it was some kind of underground party rendezvous!"

He couldn't help but laugh. "Speak up, what is it? Stop keeping me in suspense!"

Chen Ming chuckled, lowered his voice mysteriously, and said, "Hehe, let me tell you, this is even more exciting than an underground party rendezvous! You'd never guess!"

Li Yu became even more curious and pressed, "What exactly happened? Tell me quickly! Don't keep me in suspense!"

Chen Ming leaned close to Li Yu's ear and said mysteriously, "I want to... open an internet cafe!"

"Internet... internet cafe?"

Li Yu repeated the two words with a blank expression; he had never heard of this word before.

"What's an internet cafe? I've never heard of one." He scratched his head.

Chen Ming replied, "It's a computer room with lots of computers."

"These days, let alone computers, even televisions are rare. I've never even heard of this 'internet cafe.' What exactly is it?"

Chen Ming knew he couldn't explain it clearly in a short time, so he simply began to describe it directly:

"Think about it, there aren't many recreational activities at school these days. It's all about studying, studying, studying. It's incredibly boring!"

"If there were a place with a few computers where everyone could play games, chat, and practice with each other, that would be wonderful! It would definitely be a huge hit!"

Li Yu's eyes lit up immediately when he heard him say that.

"That sounds really interesting! If this could actually be done, it would be a huge hit!"

He rubbed his hands together excitedly, but quickly calmed down, his brows furrowing.

"But Chen Ming, where are we going to get a computer? These days, computers are a rare commodity. Our school doesn't even have many, let alone us students."

"You don't need to worry about that, I already have a way," Chen Ming said confidently.

“I know a woman who has a lot of connections and can get computers at reasonable prices.”

"Really? You have this kind of connection? How much would one cost? Can we afford it?"

He was still somewhat skeptical, after all, a computer is a valuable item.

"We haven't discussed the specific price yet, but don't worry, we can definitely get it done! My sister is very capable; getting a few computers won't be a problem for her."

He paused, then continued, "So, how about it? Interested in joining forces? This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. Let's partner up and build a great business together!"

Upon hearing this, Li Yu immediately perked up, rubbing his hands excitedly. "Of course I'm interested! This is a novel thing, it's sure to make a lot of money!"

Chen Ming chuckled, "Then it's settled! After I've negotiated the price with that lady, we'll discuss the specific details."

...

For the next few days, Chen Ming went to Gu Li's house almost every day, and he would appear at Gu Li's door on time after Xiao Ren got out of school.

Holding several textbooks and workbooks, he looked every bit the dutiful tutor.

As they spent more time together, their relationship grew closer and they eventually became close friends who could talk about anything.

That evening, as the afterglow of the setting sun bathed the earth, Chen Ming arrived at Gu Li's house once again.

As soon as he entered, he smelled the aroma of food, which made his mouth water. "Sister Gu Li, what delicious food are you making today?" he asked with a smile.

"Today I'm making braised pork, Xiao Ren's favorite." Gu Li poked her head out of the kitchen, a gentle smile on her face.

"Xiao Ren is doing his homework. Why don't you go check on him?"

Chen Ming walked to the dining table and saw Xiao Ren frowning, deep in thought as he looked at his homework.

He gently patted Xiao Ren on the shoulder, glanced at his workbook as if to be pretentious, and casually asked, "Xiao Ren, how was your study today?"

Xiao Ren looked up, his face full of distress, and said, "Brother Chen Ming, today's math problems are so hard, I can't do so many of them."

Chen Ming smiled, picked up the workbook, pointed to one of the questions, and said, "This question requires a special formula..."

He picked up a pen and started writing and drawing on the draft paper, explaining and guiding Xiao Ren's thinking at the same time.

Xiao Ren seemed to understand but not quite, blinking his big eyes every now and then, looking at Chen Ming with admiration.

"Wow, Brother Chen Ming, you're amazing!" Xiao Ren exclaimed in amazement.

Chen Ming patted Xiao Ren's head and said with a smile, "As long as you study hard, you can be just as good as me."

Then, patiently, he continued to explain elementary school math problems to Xiaoren.

Pointing to the numbers and symbols in the question, explain the meaning of the question and the solution process step by step.

However, Xiao Ren's mind was clearly not on studying; his little hand kept touching the pencil on the table.

He turned his head to look out the window again, his eyes darting around, clearly not paying attention to Chen Ming's explanation.

Chen Ming noticed Xiao Ren's actions and thought to himself: It seems I need to think of a way to attract his attention.

So, he deliberately put on a stern face, tapped the table lightly, and said seriously, "Xiao Ren, listen carefully!"

Xiao Ren was startled by the sudden sound and turned to look at Chen Ming.

"If you get 90 on your exam tomorrow, how about I take you to the mall downtown?"

Upon hearing the words "downtown shopping mall," Xiao Ren's eyes immediately lit up.

He quickly sat up straight, stared wide-eyed at his workbook, and listened attentively to Chen Ming's explanation.

Seeing the change in Xiao Ren, Chen Ming chuckled to himself, realizing that this trick had indeed worked.

"Then remember, this is a secret between the two of us, and you're not allowed to tell your mother." Xiao Ren nodded hurriedly.

Chen Ming continued explaining, praising Xiao Ren every now and then, such as, "Xiao Ren is so smart!"

"Xiao Ren learns so fast!" and so on, which made Xiao Ren beam with joy and even more eager to learn.

Gu Li came out of the kitchen carrying dishes and saw Xiao Ren sitting upright, listening attentively to Chen Ming's explanation of the problem. A smile appeared on her face.

"Chen Ming, thank you so much." She gently put down the dishes in her hands.

She said softly, "Xiao Ren doesn't study hard usually, but he's become much more obedient since you came."

Chen Ming quickly stood up, scratching his head sheepishly, "Sister Gu Li, you're too kind. Xiao Ren is very smart; he understands things immediately." He replied modestly.

"Oh, thanks to your help, I was able to cook with peace of mind." Gu Li placed the dishes on the table, making the aroma even more enticing, which made Xiao Ren's stomach rumble.

"Gurgle..." Xiao Ren clutched his stomach and smiled sheepishly.

"Alright, that's enough for today. Let's eat." Chen Ming rubbed Xiao Ren's head.

For the next few days, Chen Ming came to Gu Li's house almost every evening, becoming Xiao Ren's personal tutor.
