After being reborn, the school beauty's entire family knelt down to repent.
Chapter 76 Taking Xiao Ren to the City
He discovered that although Gu Li was a decisive and capable businesswoman outside, she was a gentle and virtuous mother at home.
With Chen Ming's guidance, Xiao Ren's enthusiasm for learning is also growing stronger.
He no longer resisted learning as before, but instead began to think about problems proactively, and would actively ask Chen Ming for help when he encountered difficulties.
The exam day arrived quickly, and Xiao Ren lived up to expectations, scoring 91 points in the midterm exam.
Holding the test paper, he ran excitedly to Chen Ming: "Brother Chen Ming, I got 91 points!"
Chen Ming took the test paper, looked at it carefully, and said with a smile, "Not bad, not bad, you've improved a lot!"
"Brother Chen Ming, you promised me that if I got a score of 90, you would take me to the city center to play." Xiao Ren looked at Chen Ming expectantly.
"Of course, I keep my word." Chen Ming ruffled Xiao Ren's hair. "Where do you want to go?"
"I want to go to the amusement park in the mall!" Xiao Ren shouted excitedly.
"Okay, then let's go to the amusement park tomorrow," Chen Ming agreed with a smile.
......
On a weekend morning, sunlight streamed into the room through the curtains, filling the air with a lazy atmosphere.
Chen Ming arrived at Gu Li's house early and gently knocked on the door.
"Sister Gu Li, are you up yet?" Chen Ming asked softly.
Gu Li opened the door, a hint of weariness on her face: "You're here so early? Have you had breakfast?"
"I've already eaten, Sister Gu Li," Chen Ming replied with a smile.
"The weather's nice today. I'd like to take Xiaoren to the city to see a movie and buy him some new clothes. What do you think?"
Gu Li hesitated for a moment: "Wouldn't this... be too much trouble for you?"
She knew that Chen Ming was usually very busy, and she felt a little guilty for having to take time out of his schedule to tutor Xiao Ren.
"No trouble at all, no trouble at all," Chen Ming quickly replied, afraid that Gu Li would refuse.
“I’d love to take Xiao Ren out to play. Besides, Xiao Ren got 91 points on his test, so this is a reward for him.”
Inside the room, Xiao Ren was playing with building blocks. Upon hearing Chen Ming's voice, he immediately put down his toys.
She ran excitedly to the door: "Brother Chen Ming, are you going to take me to the city to play?"
Chen Ming smiled and nodded: "Yes, do you want to go?"
"I want to go, I want to go!" Xiao Ren jumped up happily, hugging Chen Ming's leg.
"I want to go to the amusement park! I want to see a movie!"
Seeing her son's excited expression, Gu Li's resolve wavered.
She knew that Xiao Ren had always wanted to go to the amusement park in the city, but she was too busy with work to take him.
"Mommy, I want to go, I want to go!" Xiao Ren grabbed Gu Li's hand and shook it playfully.
"Alright, alright," Gu Li finally gave in to Xiao Ren's request.
"But be careful and come back soon."
"Yay! Thank you, Mom!" Xiao Ren cheered and jumped around the room.
"Thank you, Sister Gu Li," Chen Ming said with a smile.
"I should be thanking you," Gu Li said with a smile.
"Xiao Ren has made such great progress in his studies thanks to you."
"Xiao Ren is very smart; he understands things very quickly," Chen Ming said modestly.
"Alright, go have fun, don't waste time," Gu Li urged.
"Then we're leaving, Sister Gu Li." Chen Ming took Xiao Ren's hand and said goodbye to Gu Li.
"Be careful on the road." Gu Li stood at the door, watching them leave.
Xiao Ren was excited the whole way, chattering away, while Chen Ming listened patiently, occasionally replying with a few words.
Chen Ming took Xiao Ren to the city's most bustling shopping mall, where the dazzling array of goods left Xiao Ren overwhelmed.
They went into a children's clothing store, and Chen Ming carefully selected and bought Xiao Ren a handsome tracksuit and a pair of comfortable sneakers.
Xiao Ren happily changed into his new clothes and posed in front of the mirror.
After leaving the children's clothing store, Chen Ming took Xiao Ren to a toy store, where Xiao Ren was overwhelmed by the dazzling array of toys.
In the end, Xiao Ren chose a brand new Transformers toy and hugged it tightly, unable to put it down.
Afterwards, they went to the cinema and watched a wonderful animated film. Xiao Ren watched it with great interest, occasionally letting out happy laughter.
After watching the movie, Chen Ming took Xiao Ren to a KFC restaurant, where Xiao Ren excitedly ordered a kids' meal.
He couldn't wait to stuff the fries into his mouth, his face covered in ketchup, looking both cute and funny.
"Brother Chen Ming, you're so kind!" Xiao Ren mumbled between bites, a happy smile on his face.
Chen Ming patted Xiao Ren's head, smiled gently, and asked:
"Xiao Ren, where's your dad? I haven't seen him out with your mom."
The smile on Xiao Ren's face vanished instantly, and he slowly put down the fries in his hand.
With her head down and tears glistening in her eyes, she whispered, "My dad... my dad passed away."
Xiao Ren's words were like a pebble thrown into Chen Ming's calm heart, creating ripples.
He quickly comforted him, "I'm sorry, Xiao Ren, I didn't know your father..."
He wanted to say "gone," but felt the word was too heavy, and ultimately didn't say it.
Xiao Ren raised his head, tears welling up in his eyes, but he stubbornly refused to let them fall.
He said sensibly, "It's okay, Dad has been gone for several years." Xiao Ren's voice was a little choked up.
"My mom works so hard taking care of me all by herself. She has to work and take care of me all the time..."
As Xiao Ren spoke, he finally couldn't hold back his tears and started crying. Tears rolled down his face like pearls from a broken string.
"My mother works so hard. She never says she's tired, but I know she's very, very tired..."
Chen Ming looked at Xiao Ren's eyes and felt a pang of pity.
He gently patted Xiao Ren's shoulder and said softly, "Xiao Ren, you are very sensible and strong. Your mother must be very proud of you."
He finally understood why Gu Li was always so strong.
……
After returning home, Chen Ming found Gu Li, looking somewhat guilty.
"Sister Gu Li, I'm so sorry about today. I accidentally mentioned Xiao Ren's father to him, and that's how I found out..."
He paused, then said sincerely, "I'm sorry, I hope I didn't upset you and Xiao Ren."
Gu Li gently shook her head, indicating her understanding. "It's alright, Chen Ming," she said, her eyes filled with gratitude.
"Thank you for taking Xiao Ren out to play today. He was really happy."
Looking at Gu Li's slightly tired face, Chen Ming said again:
“Sister Gu Li, I know it’s not easy for you to raise Xiao Ren alone. If you need any help, please don’t hesitate to ask, and I will do my best to help.”
Gu Li's eyes reddened slightly, tears welling up in them. She looked at Chen Ming gratefully and said in a choked voice, "Thank you, Chen Ming."
She sniffed, trying to control her emotions, and continued:
"Thank you for being so kind to Xiao Ren."
