Reborn in 2000: I just want to love a few people properly.

"The girl who grew up with me."

Luo Qiaoqiao was taken aback at first, then turned to look at Xu Bo, her eyes revealing a complex mix of emotions.

There was excitement, joy, elation, and a bit of disbelief.

After this meal, Wang Jun temporarily reconciled with Xu Bo and Song Lei.

At least for now.

"Human hearts are unpredictable. It's good enough if we keep things as they are now, and everyone stays peaceful and doesn't try anything funny."

"But don't easily entrust your heart to someone."

After they had eaten and drunk their fill, on their way back to the store, Xu Bo warned Song Leisong.

Just now, Song Leisong and Wang Jun were drinking one cup after another, practically wanting to become sworn brothers on the spot.

Xu Bo felt it was necessary to remind Song Leisong.

Luo Qiaoqiao obediently tugged at Xu Bo's clothes from behind. A gentle breeze blew, making the girl's short hair slightly disheveled.

But instead of tidying up, she held Xu Bo firmly, as if afraid that this hard-won little happiness would be lost to the wind.

"Chen Ying, I'm going back now. My graduation banquet is in a couple of days, so I need to go home and prepare."

After saying goodbye to the others, Xu Bo left with Luo Qiaoqiao.

"I can't attend your graduation celebration~"

On the way back, Luo Qiaoqiao suddenly said.

Xu Bo sighed with some regret.

"It's such a shame you can't come, but your business is still important, so remember to treat me to a meal when you come back, as compensation."

Xu Bo lit a cigarette, but after seeing the girl covering her nose from the smoke, he quickly took two puffs and put the cigarette out.

When they arrived at Central Street, Xu Bo touched the bottle containing the honey water; it seemed to have become somewhat viscous due to the passage of time.

"Why don't you go back first? I suddenly remembered that I left something at the store."

Xu Bo slapped his forehead and said regretfully.

"It's okay, you go ahead, I'm going home."

Slightly disappointed, Luo Qiaoqiao quickly adjusted her mindset and said...

"You go first, I'll watch you leave."

Xu Bo suddenly spoke, his tone gentle.

"OK."

Luo Qiaoqiao was taken aback at first, then said somewhat shyly.

In romance novels, it's always like this: when two people are reluctant to part, one of them will always watch the other leave first.

Only after Luo Qiaoqiao's figure disappeared from sight did Xu Bo relight a cigarette, confirm his location, and turn to walk to the right.

"I remember the vibrant colors were at the front."

They arrived at a commercial street lined with restaurants, leisure and entertainment venues on both sides, which made Xu Bo a little dizzy. He couldn't find Xuan Cai KTV anywhere.

Fortunately, a black Alto pulled up next to Xu Bo.

"What are you doing here?" He Jun's voice came from inside.

Upon closer inspection, Xu Bocai saw a square face behind the black sunglasses.

"Uncle He, I want to go to Xuan Cai, but I think I'm lost and can't find it."

Xu Bo scratched his head somewhat awkwardly and said.

"Get in the car, it's at the end of the street, you've come to the wrong place."

He Jun thought he was there to ask his daughter to sing, so although he was wary, he didn't think much of it.

Since I was there, I figured this kid wouldn't dare do anything out of line.

After getting into the car, Xu Bo nodded in satisfaction, enjoying the comfort of the seat.

I was thinking about when I would be able to drive a car, so that things would be more convenient for me.

"Uncle He, I want to get a driver's license, do you have any ideas?"

He Jun's head is a bit too big. Nowadays, all the kids are thinking about having a good time during the holiday, but this kid is thinking about things that are not appropriate for his age.

"No, don't think about it. Studying hard is the most important thing."

After exchanging a few perfunctory words, the car quickly arrived at the entrance of Xuan Cai.

What are you holding in your hand?

After getting off the bus, He Jun noticed that Xu Bo was holding a beverage cup.

"Oh, this is the drink I bought. I was a little thirsty, but I haven't had a chance to drink it yet."

"Uncle He, would you like a drink?"

As he spoke, Xu Bo handed over the honey water.

"No, this is something you kids like to drink, I don't want to drink it."

He Jun waved his hand in refusal.

The two arrived at the door of the private room, and before they even stepped inside, they heard a series of ghostly wails coming from inside.

"Dad, you're here."

He Jun pushed open the door and saw a dozen or so young men and women sitting around the sofa.

He Yimei saw her father running over from the sofa.

Yuan Peng seemed to have drunk a bit too much, and was holding the microphone, singing his heart out.

"It turns out that insisting on completeness comes at the cost of hollowing out one's soul!"

"Heartbroken for 1999, forget about forever!"

It's not exactly unpleasant to listen to, but it's definitely not pleasant either.

Especially under the influence of alcohol, Yuan Peng displayed no skill whatsoever, simply expressing his emotions.

"Have you been drinking?"

Looking at his daughter's rosy cheeks, He Jun asked worriedly.

"Yes, just a little bit." He Yimei nodded.

He turned to his head and said, "Classmates, my dad has come to pick me up. You guys go ahead and sing. I've already settled the bill."

After saying that, she took her small wallet and keys and prepared to leave.

Cong Keyao ran over and, with a group of girls behind her, hugged He Yimei tightly in farewell.

After all, we've been classmates for three years, and who knows when we'll see each other again after this separation.

"Hey, hey, hey, He Yimei is leaving."

After Yuan Peng finished singing, he was lying on the sofa, half asleep, when Liu Xiaojun reminded him.

No matter how much he called out, Yuan Peng remained unmoved, even when he heard that He Yimei was about to leave.

"Hey, you spilled your wine."

Not long after, Liu Xiaojun felt a dampness on his hand on the table. Upon closer inspection, he could not smell any pungent alcohol.

It's a little salty and a bit hot.

Outside, the three of them had already arrived at the door.

"I thought you must have had a bit to drink, so I went out of my way to buy this for you."

After jogging all the way and because it was a bit hot inside, Xu Bo was already covered in sweat and slightly out of breath.

Seeing his appearance, He Yimei couldn't help but think of her entire three years of high school.

Xu Bo is always like this; every day, in order to please me, he brings me breakfast and drinks.

Although I always give them the cold shoulder, I always end up silently accepting it.

Hearing that he had specially bought honey water for her made He Yimei feel as sweet as if she had eaten honey.

Even the usually aloof oval face couldn't help but reveal a slight smile.

He Jun was paying at the front desk when he vaguely heard Xu Bo's words.

The unease in my heart suddenly exploded; no wonder I always felt something was off about this kid.

Didn't you just say the honey water was for yourself? How did it turn into something you bought for your daughter?

The two had already arrived outside the door and were waiting.

"Even though you bought me honey water, I will never forgive you for tearing up the love letter at school that day."

Drinking honey water, my stomach, which had been a little uncomfortable due to the alcohol, started to feel better.

"Um...wasn't that my love letter? Since you've returned it to me, it's fine for me to do whatever I want with it, right?"

Xu Bo blinked his innocent eyes and looked at He Yimei.

"Hmph! I'm not talking to you anymore."

Upon hearing Xu Bo's reply, He Yimei stomped her foot and became unhappy again. She got into the car with He Jun, who had come out, and ignored Xu Bo.

"Hey, remember to come to my graduation celebration on Sunday!"

Watching the antelope disappear into the distance, Xu Bo shouted from behind, reminding her not to forget to attend his college entrance celebration banquet.
