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

These past two days, Xu Bo has been dragged by his parents to the Jinlan Hotel to attend the rehearsal for his college entrance banquet, and occasionally he goes to the store to check on the business.

Since making peace with Wang Jun, the store has had far fewer troubles.

However, the turnover is not as good as it was in the first two days after opening.

"Brother Bo, business has been down these past couple of days."

Chen Ying always helped out at the shop, and Chen Xinhui would occasionally come over, quietly doing her homework, and only playing a couple of games in the evening.

Grandpa Liu rarely comes anymore because Grandma Liu was worried that he wouldn't eat well by himself, so she was discharged from the hospital early.

"That's normal. This was an industry that was about to end anyway. I'm already very satisfied with the results we've achieved so far."

After deducting the store's operating costs, Xu Bo now has more than 13,000 yuan in hand.

With three days left to operate, Xu Bo was confident he could earn over 17,000 yuan, and even had the confidence to reach 20,000 yuan.

After spending these few days together, Xu Bo has completely accepted Song Leisong.

He never goes back on his word and is very loyal.

The day after delivering the honey water, Luo Qiaoqiao returned to the oil city with her mother.

Xu Bo even went to see him off at the train station that day.

"Xiao Bo, Auntie has watched you grow up. You must study hard in Hangzhou. Qiao Qiao is thinking of getting into a university in Hangzhou to visit you."

As a mother, she knows her children's hearts best and subtly reminded Xu Bo not to mess around with relationships in college.

His own daughter was waiting for him.

Xu Bo chuckled and changed the subject.

On the way here, I also bought some instant noodles for the mother and daughter to eat.

"I'm leaving, senior. I won't be able to attend your graduation banquet."

With a playful sticking out of her tongue, Luo Qiaoqiao and her mother turned and entered the ticket gate to reach the platform.

On the way back, Luo's father subtly advised Xu Bo to stay true to himself on the university campus, since his daughter was waiting for him back home.

It wasn't that Luo's parents were in a hurry to push the girl out.

The main reason is that the couple understands the girl's feelings. Xu Bo and Qiao Qiao grew up together and their parents know each other. If they could confirm their relationship earlier, they could get married after graduation.

That would be a good thing.

Back at the Shining Arcade, Xu Bo instructed Yang Xun and Chen Ying to come to the hotel early the next day to help entertain their classmates before returning home.

"My eldest son, speak confidently and poisedly when you go on stage tomorrow. Your father has given so many years' worth of money as gifts, and today you're finally earning some of it back."

Xu Tianchao was very happy, after all, the title of college student still has a lot of value at this time.

The Xu family has produced only one college student in eighteen generations; he's very proud of that.

"Where did you get that pack of Zhonghua cigarettes in your pocket?"

In contrast to Xu Tianchao's happiness, Liu Xiuqin was happy.

She pulled a pack of Zhonghua cigarettes out of Xu Bo's pants while he was doing laundry.

"It's over, Wang Jun's!"

When they shook hands and made peace that day, Xu Bo tricked Wang Jun into giving him a pack of Zhonghua cigarettes. Wang Jun forgot to take them out, but his mother caught him red-handed.

Before Xu Bo could explain, Liu Xiuqin grabbed a feather duster and started hitting him.

After circling the coffee table a few times, Xu Bo took a few thick clothes and covered himself with them before lying down on the sofa without moving.

After being beaten for so many years, he has learned a lot of lessons.

Once she gets through the first few heavy blows and her energy runs out, she'll naturally stop.

Sure enough, after letting out a sigh of relief, Xu Bo turned to look at his mother and found her sitting on the sofa, panting and glaring angrily at Xu Tianchao.

Realizing he was in trouble, Xu Tianchao quickly extinguished the Zhonghua cigarette.

"You bastard, Lao Xu! That's how your dad died, and now your son is smoking and you don't care, you're even smoking right next to him!"

Seeing that the battle had shifted, Xu Bo took the opportunity to sneak back to his bedroom, lay on the bed, and suddenly laughed.

"It's great to have youth, experience, family, and friends."

"They're all around me."

Feeling the vitality of his youthful body, Xu Bo couldn't help but mutter to himself.

"There are still feelings..."

......

The next day, before dawn, Xu Bo was woken up by his mother.

After washing up and getting dressed, Xu Bo arrived at the Jinlan Hotel.

He came here for the second time in just a few days.

The banquet hall was packed with people, some of whom Xu Bo knew, and some he didn't.

There are relatives from both sides of the family, as well as business partners.

After being introduced to his parents and talking with them for a while, Xu Bo was finally released.

Having found Chen Ying, Xu Bo bent down and picked up Xiao Xinhui.

"We have sweet and sour pork today, you should eat more!"

He pinched her chubby little face, which made the little girl unhappy.

Chen Xinhui has been playing around a bit too much these past few days. She didn't want to get up this morning, but she reluctantly got out of bed after hearing that it was about Xu Bo. So she's still a bit grumpy when she wakes up.

"Okay, I'll definitely eat more!"

The little girl raised her pink fist and said fiercely, as if there were countless little figures of sweet and sour pork waiting for her to fight.

Not long after, Yang Xun arrived with Liu Mei, who was dressed up, and their homeroom teacher, Li Tianming, followed behind them.

"Old Li, thank you for your guidance; it was through that I was able to get into university!"

Xu Bo and Chen Ying quickly went to greet them.

After laughing heartily a few times, Li Tianming took out a red envelope from his pocket and handed it to Xu Bo.

"I wish you a happy and safe university life. This is a small gift for you. There's not much money in it, so please accept it."

Xu Bo initially declined, but couldn't resist Li Tianming's enthusiasm and eventually accepted it.

The students arrived one after another. Xu Bo was very popular in the class, and he would never refuse to help others if they needed anything.

When classmates were harassed by thugs from outside the school, he would always lead Yang Xun to the front.

The guests arrived at the banquet hall one after another, but Xu Bo remained standing at the door, seemingly waiting for something.

"You go in first, I'll be there in a bit."

Chen Ying stood with Xu Bo at the door.

"What's wrong with He Yimei? Why hasn't she arrived yet?"

Xu Bo was losing patience.

After waiting for about ten minutes, the host was about to start speaking, and Xu Bo couldn't wait any longer. Just as he was about to enter the banquet hall...

The clear shout made him stop in his tracks.

"Xu Bo! I'm here!"

Turning around, I saw that it was indeed He Yimei.

She was still wearing the same lace dress from that day, and low-top flat shoes that perfectly accentuated her sexy ankles.

She ran up to Xu Bo with beads of sweat on her forehead and a bag in her hand.

"I could have bought this gift for you last night, but they didn't have your size, so I went to the department store this morning and bought it."

A quick glance revealed a pair of Nike shoes inside; at this time, over three hundred yuan was no small sum.

"What? You don't like it?"

Seeing Xu Bo's expression, He Yimei pouted and said somewhat unhappily.

"No, I like it very much, but I'm just thinking about it."

"How did you know my size?"

He Yimei blushed, lowered her head and pondered for a while, then raised her head and said proudly.

"It's none of your business. Whether you want it or not, I'll take it back if you don't."

He then tried to snatch the bag from Xu Bo's hand.

Xu Bo was not about to let her succeed, so he naturally retreated.

During the argument, He Yimei's ponytail swayed, and a few strands of hair gently brushed against Xu Bo's face.

The girl's fresh scent mixed with the fragrance of shampoo wafted into Xu Bo's nostrils.

Refreshing and happy.
