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

My uncle, Liu Mingzhu, runs an educational institution and earns a considerable income. However, he and my aunt, Yu Qing, have never had children over the years.

The meal was enjoyed by everyone, and before it ended, Liu Mingzhu gave Xu Bo a red envelope.

"Here, this is from your uncle. You'll need money for social obligations when you go to college."

Unable to resist her uncle's enthusiasm, Liu Xiuqin had no choice but to let Xu Bo accept it.

After the meal, the family of three went home to rest.

The next few days passed uneventfully for Xu Bo.

When he has nothing to do, he goes online with Yang Xun and Chen Ying.

Now Chen Ying no longer has to worry about not having enough pocket money. Every time he goes to Zhuoyue Internet Cafe, he can just turn on the computer directly.

Sometimes when Wang Jun came to the store, he would give the three of them a pack of cigarettes.

Occasionally, Song Leisong would come over, and the group would set up a local area network for CS, playing non-stop from morning till night.

When Xu Bo got tired of playing games, he would invite He Yimei and Chen Xinhui to take a walk along the river or go for a stroll in the mall.

He Yimei also bought a Nokia, the same model as Xu Bo.

During this time, their relationship began to quietly warm up.

"Hey, what's up, Qiaoqiao? Missing me?"

Just as the three of them were watching X-Men in the movie theater, their cell phones started vibrating.

Xu Bo greeted them and then walked out of the theater to the lobby to call Luo Qiaoqiao back.

"Senior, I'm going back to Harbin tomorrow."

On the other end of the phone, Luo Qiaoqiao lowered her voice, but she couldn't hide the joy in her words.

"Okay, what time is your train? I'll pick you up tomorrow."

Xu Bo had already started planning his schedule for tomorrow.

Today is the 25th, and in four days, on the 29th, I will be boarding the train to Hangzhou.

As for Luo Qiaoqiao, she was leaving on the 28th.

"I'll be there by nine o'clock tomorrow morning, so I'll have to get up really early~" Luo Qiaoqiao said with a hint of grievance in her voice.

"I'll pick you up tomorrow morning. I'm having lunch with Yang Xun right now, I'll get back to you a little later."

The end credits were already playing in the theater, and Xu Bo needed to end the call as soon as possible.

"Okay~"

Luo Qiaoqiao said reluctantly, "Then you must pick me up tomorrow!"

On the other end of the phone, Luo Qiaoqiao clenched her fist and said.

"Yes, I'll definitely go!"

After hanging up the phone, before Xu Bo could even enter the theater, He Yimei came out carrying Chen Xinhui.

He Yimei's eyes were slightly red, and a few drops of moisture clung to the corners of her eyes.

Xu Bo took out a tissue from his pocket and was about to step forward to wipe He Yimei's face when she stopped him.

"I can do it myself."

He Yimei refused Xu Bo's attempt to take advantage of her, and after opening a tissue, she first wiped the popcorn residue from the corner of Chen Xinhui's mouth.

As she was about to take out a second tissue to wipe herself, the prominent words "New Mart Cinema" on the packaging caught her attention.

"Oh no, I forgot about that."

Xu Bo's mind went blank; he completely forgot about the tissue packaging.

"You went to the oil city? How come you have things from New Mart?"

A woman's intuition is usually very accurate, especially when there is substantial evidence in front of her.

Although Xu Bo was in the wrong, he still spoke without batting an eye.

"The day before yesterday, Wang Jun went to the oil city to discuss business, and I don't know where he brought back this pack of tissues."

"I was playing online games with Yang Xun and Chen Ying yesterday, so I just slipped it into my pocket."

He Yimei simply said "oh" and didn't say anything more. She then carried Xiaoxin Hui and walked towards the food court next door.

Her sixth sense told her that things weren't that simple. For some reason, her heart was pounding, but her mind was unusually calm.

She didn't know that Luo Qiaoqiao's hometown was Youcheng, but she just felt that something was inexplicably wrong about this matter.

Seeing that He Yimei clearly didn't believe him, Xu Bo had no choice but to run a few steps and come to He Yimei. He stood there, deliberately blocking He Yimei's way and preventing her from moving forward.

He took out his phone and dialed Wang Jun's number.

"Hey, Brother Wang, what are you doing right now?"

Xu Bo deliberately changed his form of address, hoping that Wang Jun would notice.

"What's wrong, Xiao Bo? I'm eating out right now, there's something I need to talk about."

Normally at this time, Wang Jun would be playing shooting games with a few people in the store, and it would be impossible for him to be outside discussing business. Obviously, Wang Jun received a signal from Xu Bo.

Xu Bo breathed a sigh of relief, his heart overflowing with joy, but he still spoke calmly.

"Brother Wang, I took a pack of tissues from you. I just saw it today. Why is it from Xinmate Cinema? Did you go to the oil city?"

Xu Bo deliberately didn't mention the specific time in order to increase the credibility of their performance in front of He Yimei.

"Yes, I went to the oil city a couple of days ago. A friend's child wanted to see a movie, so after buying him popcorn, I also bought a pack of tissues."

"What's wrong, Xiao Bo?"

He Yimei heard Xu Bo and Wang Jun's conversation very clearly. The two days ago could have been the day before yesterday or the day before that. The ambiguity in the time frame misled He Yimei's judgment.

She and Xu Bo are currently in an ambiguous relationship, and they both hope that the other will make the first move.

But nobody wants to take the first step.

He Yimei was thinking about the girl's reserve, as well as her own strong and aloof personality, which wouldn't allow her to do that.

Xu Bo, however, didn't want a formally acknowledged relationship to delay his "philanthropic" journey.

So the two of them were stuck in a stalemate. He Yimei's tissue incident today was purely an unwarranted attack.

But when she saw Xu Bo taking care of her little emotions and even calling Wang Jun to confirm it, she was overjoyed.

Although He Yimei's face showed no expression, she was already feeling incredibly sweet inside.

With a cold snort, He Yimei deliberately raised her small face and ignored Xu Bo.

They simply came to the food court and casually picked out a few of Xu Bo's favorite dishes.

Braised pork belly, stir-fried pork slices with rice – Xu Bo's favorite boxed lunch set meal.

Following behind the girl, Xu Bo was a little nervous at first, but when he saw that He Yimei had ordered all the dishes he liked, he relaxed.

"If it weren't for your good looks, I wouldn't bother with you at all."

Xu Bo silently complained to himself.

Many girls take advantage of their good looks after makeup and act wildly, even when they are wrong, they still expect their boyfriends to apologize without doing anything themselves.

Xu Bo's advice was to tell her to get lost quickly, goodbye is goodbye, the next one will be more obedient.

People's hearts are not yet restless, but such things will become commonplace in the future.

If He Yimei weren't so beautiful, and also a thorn in Xu Bo's side that he couldn't forget, Xu Bo wouldn't have bothered to waste his energy on her.

But then again, Luo Qiaoqiao, that girl next door, is too easy to win over. How can that compare to the sense of accomplishment after beating someone like He Yimei on a difficult level?

"I can't eat anymore, do you want some?"

He Yimei ordered a bowl of spicy hot pot, which contained sesame paste and white sugar mixed together, along with chewy sorghum noodles and juicy beef balls, each one tempting Xu Bo's taste buds.

"Eat it, or give it to me if you can't finish it."

Xu Bo had just finished the last piece of braised pork when he moved the girl's rice bowl over and started eating.
