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

At six o'clock in the morning, Xu Bo was woken up by his mother on time.

"Your dad and I will go home early today to make dumplings for you."

Dumplings before boarding and noodles upon arrival are a custom in Northeast China. Liu Xiuqin also told Xu Bo not to go out and play around today, since he was leaving tomorrow.

Xu Bo nodded in agreement, and only got up quickly after hearing the sound of the living room door closing.

After making the call to Chen Ying, Xu Bo spoke.

Have you left the house yet?

Today is the 28th, the day Chen Ying boards the train to Nanjing.

"Almost there, I just finished eating and am about to head out."

"See you at the train station entrance."

Today, his mother left him some plain porridge and pickled vegetables, but Xu Bo didn't eat a single bite. He picked up his backpack, grabbed his suitcase, and took a taxi to the train station.

After waiting for more than ten minutes, around 6:30, Chen Ying and his family finally arrived at the train station.

"Mom and Dad, you two should go back first. The restaurant will open soon."

Chen Ying's parents came to Harbin from the countryside to work, and their savings over the years were enough for the couple to open a fast food restaurant.

When Xu Bo and Yang Xun were short of money for food, they would always go to a restaurant to freeload.

"Uncle Chen, Aunt Wu."

Xu Bo greeted them and then patted Chen Xinhui's head.

With the opening time fast approaching, Chen Ying's parents had no choice but to leave, despite their reluctance.

This family of four is a typical Chinese family. The parents actually love their children very much, but they just don't know how to express it.

Sometimes actions speak louder than words.

The departure time was 7:20. Yang Xun arrived just as Luo Qiaoqiao got out of the taxi.

Yang Xun was holding a large white plastic bag filled with instant noodles, bread, ham sausages, and two cans of beer for Chen Ying's two-day journey.

Luo Qiaoqiao saw Xu Bo as soon as she got out of the car. Although she knew he was leaving, her reluctance still erupted here.

Her eyes were red-rimmed, and glistening tears clung to her long eyelashes, as if waiting for a gust of wind to drop the shimmering pearls to the ground.

"You must be careful with your belongings while on the bus, and don't let thieves steal your phone and wallet."

Luo Qiaoqiao gave Xu Bo some serious instructions, then turned to Chen Ying and said.

"You too, you need to take care of Xu Bo. Be sure to let me know when we get there."

The last sentence was said to Xu Bo.

Nodding, Xu Bo agreed. At 6:45, Xu Bo said...

"We're leaving now, otherwise we'll miss our train."

At this time, platform tickets were still available. For two yuan, people seeing off their loved ones could go to the platform and stay with them a little longer.

Luo Qiaoqiao originally wanted to do the same, but Xu Bo said something.

"No need to see me off, otherwise I really won't want to leave."

These words ignited the emotions that had been building up in Luo Qiaoqiao's heart for so long, and tears streamed down her face uncontrollably.

At this crucial moment, Xu Bo took the opportunity to mock Luo Qiaoqiao.

Although Luo Qiaoqiao was unhappy, she did not turn around and leave. On the contrary, she was also reluctant to part with Xu Bo.

As time drew ever closer, Yang Xun received a signal from Xu Bo.

"Get lost, get lost, look what you've done, you've made our sweet junior from No. 3 Middle School cry."

He handed the plastic bag to Xu Bo, then pushed them both by the shoulder and led them to the security checkpoint.

The luggage followed the conveyor belt to the other side, and so did the person. Standing at the ticket gate, Xu Bo turned around and looked back.

Luo Qiaoqiao remained standing in the same spot, her black velvet jacket and light gray sweatshirt giving her a casual and natural look, while her dark gray striped wide-leg pants perfectly concealed her legs, leaving no room for any view.

The gentle breeze ruffled the girl's short hair, blurred her almond-shaped eyes, and also blocked the tears that were about to fall.

With so many travelers coming and going, no one would know the sound of a single tear falling to the ground.

But Xu Bo knew that after passing through the ticket check, he went up the escalator to the second-floor lobby, leaned on the glass railing, and suddenly shouted.

"Luo Qiaoqiao! Study hard! Make progress every day! I'll be waiting for you in Hangzhou!"

The sound was loud, but everyone passing by only glanced at Xu Bo briefly, as each person had their own things to do.

Some people looked at Xu Bo and suddenly thought of their own youth, when they were also so bold for love, even though they were usually quiet and didn't like to talk.

As Luo Qiaoqiao waved her hands exaggeratedly, Xu Bonan could see the girl covering her mouth, her excited expression shining through her almond-shaped eyes.

You could see the joy in her almond-shaped eyes.

Once Xu Bo and Chen Ying were out of sight, Luo Qiaoqiao slowly turned around, feeling a sense of emptiness, as if something was missing.

Just as the two were leaving, they passed by the supermarket at the entrance of the train station, and Yang Xun asked Luo Qiaoqiao to wait a moment.

Not long after, Yang Xun ran out of the shop, holding a pink rose in his hand.

"Xu Bo gave it to you. He originally wanted to give it to you in person, but he was afraid you would be too heartbroken and wouldn't want him to leave."

"So he told me to hide the flowers first, and give them to you after he left."

Yang Xun told Xu Bo everything he had been told.

Holding the flowers in her arms, Luo Qiaoqiao felt as if a patch of pink roses was quietly taking root and sprouting in the empty space in her heart.

Yang Xun quietly gave a thumbs-up to the air, though it was unclear who he was showing it to.

There's a window inside the train station, through which you can clearly see everything happening in the square outside.

Xu Bo and Chen Ying were currently lying on top of each other with their buttocks sticking out.

"Brother Bo, what are you thinking now?"

Chen Ying was a little curious. His younger sister was taken away by Xu Bo almost every day, and when he asked her, she said she went out to play with He Yimei and Xu Bo.

Meanwhile, he was in contact with Luo Qiaoqiao every day.

Two factions within a family—isn't that a split? Isn't that a betrayal of love?

Turning around and leaning gently against the windowsill, Xu Bo really wanted to smoke, but unfortunately, smoking wasn't allowed here.

Do you know where the "Bo" in "Bo'ai" (universal love) comes from?

Chen Ying shook his head.

"The 'Bo' in 'Boai' comes from the 'Bo' in 'Xu Bo'."

It took Chen Ying a long time to figure it out.

"When a person is not short of money and his material needs are met, he will seek spiritual stimulation."

Xu Bo glanced at Chen Ying and said, "The more his mind is stimulated, the higher his threshold for happiness will be."

"I can only experience pleasure through emotions now, especially when I'm moving between different women. My heart is pounding every time, telling my brain that I'm happy."

"In the future, I will have different people by my side. Don't be surprised when you see them."

Having been reborn, Xu Bo had some things he couldn't say. Only now, with his childhood friend by his side, did Xu Bo dare to reveal some of his true feelings.

There aren't many things that can make him happy anymore, and relationships are one of them.

"Brother Kebo, aren't you short of money right now?"

After thinking for a while, Chen Ying finally understood the meaning of Xu Bo's words and couldn't help but complain.

"Let's go, the train is about to leave."

I have no money now, but all I can think about is money.

Time was running out. Xu Bo pushed Chen Ying through the ticket gate and watched him board the platform.
