Rebirth at the Start: This Fate is Too Explosive!

Chapter 20 Zhao Mingzhe's "Grievance" with Physics Problems

Gu Ruoning was amused by her son's serious expression.

"Okay, okay, Mom will write it down for you right away, it'll be in black and white, right?"

She shook her head as she picked up her pen.

"The more you can take, the better. If you can take 100,000, Mom will be even happier."

"But don't end up not getting a single penny, or your mother will laugh at you, son."

Ye Fan put away the written document that Gu Ruoning had prepared and then took it back to his room for safekeeping.

Humming happily, I walked to the bathroom to take a shower.

A few minutes later, I walked out of the bathroom, wrapped myself in a towel, and returned to my room. I saw my phone light up, picked it up, and saw that it was a message from their QQ group.

Tang Yanning's message popped up first: "[@Everyone, are you going to the library to study tomorrow?]" It was followed by a cute cat emoji.

Pei Yi'an replied instantly: [Sure! @Ye Fan @Zhao Mingzhe, are you two coming or not?]

Zhao Mingzhe posted a running emoji: "[On my way to Old Ye's house, I'll ask him if he's coming later.]"

Pei Yi'an replied with an "OK" gesture: [Okay, I'll go review now!]

Tang Yanning sent a duck taking a bath emoji: [Okay, I'm off! This young lady is going to take a bath and change~]

The four of them got to know each other on the first day of high school and continued to play together until their senior year. They were very good friends and were among the few true friends Ye Fan made during his middle school years.

During their first and second years of high school, they would hang out together on weekends. Occasionally, Ye Fan and Zhao Mingzhe would also go to the library to study with Pei Yi'an and Tang Yanning. Otherwise, given their playful nature, they wouldn't even be able to get into a junior college, let alone a bachelor's degree.

As for why Ye Fan's grades were better than Zhao Mingzhe's, the reason is that although Ye Fan was also playful, he still studied diligently when he was learning.

In his previous life, he also got into an ordinary 985 university, which was quite outstanding.

But Zhao Mingzhe... he only cared about having fun, but thankfully he still managed to get into a bottom-tier university.

Later, when I entered my senior year of high school, my study time became very tight, and I had relatively less time to go out and play on weekends. Most of the time, we would go to the library together.

Ye Fan dried his hair, his fingers flying across the screen: 【I absolutely have to go, but not tomorrow afternoon! Old Zhao and I are setting up a stall tomorrow morning, do you guys want to come?】

After sending the message, he threw down a brick-throwing emoji of a working-class dog.

I was just about to turn on my computer.

Zhao Mingzhe pushed open the door and entered, holding a half-eaten apple in his hand.

"Old Ye, check the group messages! Those two are asking if we want to go to the library tomorrow?"

"Go tomorrow afternoon, I've already replied."

Ye Fan didn't even look up, his gaze still fixed on the screen. "You son of a bitch, you're enjoying your food. Go cut a watermelon for your dad. There's some chilled in the fridge. I'll give you a few math problems to solve first."

Before he finished speaking, his fingers were already flying across the keyboard, typing rapidly, and a WPS document quickly filled with lines of questions—using an electronic version to create questions for Zhao Mingzhe saved time and effort.

Zhao Mingzhe walked towards the kitchen while munching on an apple.

He was still muttering, "Damn it, I usually cut it up and serve it to you but you won't eat a single bite. Today I didn't prepare anything, but you still want to eat it. This is really infuriating."

Not long after.

Ye Fan had already typed out five or six electronic physics problems on the computer.

Zhao Mingzhe brought in a fruit platter containing peeled and diced watermelon.

The bright red flesh was glistening with juice. "Old Ye, your watermelon is amazing! It looks incredible. I'll ask my mom to buy one for us tomorrow."

As he spoke, he placed the fruit in an empty space on the desk.

"Don't be so surprised, just eat if you want."

"Try doing these physics problems first."

Ye Fan casually picked up a watermelon and put it in his mouth. The crisp "crunch" sound was particularly refreshing in the room. The seedless flesh was sweet and juicy, and the taste was simply perfect. He liked to eat this kind of watermelon and could show off half of it by himself.

"Damn it!"

"So many questions, you're killing me, Lao Ye."

Zhao Mingzhe sat in front of the computer with a look of despair, his eyes fixed on several challenging physics problems on the screen.

I'm completely numb.

He has always disliked physics.

Watching those mechanical formulas and circuit diagrams twist and deform before his eyes was like seeing monsters from a nightmare.

But now he's being asked to do so many physics problems all at once, which is even more torturous than taking an exam on the spot.

But there was no other way; time waits for no one. The questions Ye Fan was giving him were all the types of questions that would be on the exam in 22 days.

His current goal is for Zhao Mingzhe to be able to solve and memorize the medium-difficulty questions, and then at least some of the more difficult ones, so that he can just apply them directly to the exam.

It's not impossible for him to get into a 211 or even 985 university. It all depends on how well he can write Chinese essays. He could memorize an English essay and write the same one.

"........."

"Take it easy, show the same patience you have when playing League of Legends, stop thinking about just having fun."

Ye Fan was leisurely munching on watermelon, his fingertips swiping across his phone screen as he chatted enthusiastically with Liu Ruyan on Green Bubble.

A message from Liu Ruyan popped up in the dialog box.

[I just heard from Yanning that you guys are going to the library to study tomorrow!]

Ye Fan quickly typed out a reply.

【Yes! We'll go to the library tomorrow afternoon, and then tomorrow morning we'll set up a stall to earn you start-up capital for your business!】

Immediately, a laughing emoji appeared on the other end of the screen.

So that's how you got the funding for your "grand plan to start a company"! How long will it take to earn that much?!

Ye Fan raised an eyebrow as he looked at the message, his fingertips typing out words with a smile on his face on the screen.

You don't understand! Setting up a street stall is just the first step in a long journey.

[The most important timeframe is within a month after the college entrance exam. Just wait and see! A huge surprise awaits you then.]

After sending the message, he stuffed a piece of chilled watermelon into his mouth.

His eyes were full of confidence in his future plans.

............

"Damn it."

"Old Ye, this question you asked is way too difficult."

"I can't figure it out! I understand each formula individually, but when I combine them with the text, I'm completely lost!"

Zhao Mingzhe scratched his head in frustration. The draft paper in front of him was covered with calculations, but he couldn't find a breakthrough. He couldn't solve some problems at all, and he could only solve one or two small problems. He had already spent nearly an hour on these few problems.

"Don't rush."

"I will break down the solution steps and explain them to you step by step."

"You must memorize these question types, and you must remember how to apply the formulas and how to write out the complete steps."

As he spoke, Ye Fan pulled out a few sheets of draft paper and took a red pen from his pencil case, preparing to explain the solution steps to Zhao Mingzhe in detail. The red pen outlined a clear solution on the draft paper…

After nearly an hour of explanation.

It almost drove Zhao Mingzhe's brain to a standstill.

The dense array of knowledge points was like a tidal wave crashing against the banks of his mind, pushing him to his limit.

He looked completely dejected, waving his hand listlessly and saying, "Old Ye, I can't take it anymore. I need to rest. I can only absorb this much knowledge today. If I talk about anything more, my memory will run out and I'll freeze."

"......"

"What's wrong with the computer? Your memory card isn't working properly! You need to replace it with a terabyte-level solid-state drive when you get around to it."

Ye Fan teased him, going along with his words.

He continued, "Alright, take a break! That's enough for today, I have to get up early tomorrow to make lemon tea!"

Zhao Mingzhe: "......."

"You really treat your good brother like a nobody!"

"Damn it, a DJ."

"Otherwise what?"

"Damn it, would it kill you to pretend for a little while?!"
