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

"You know, the three of us grew up naked, so why is Chen Ying different from us?"

On the way home, Xu Bo said with some puzzlement.

After thinking for a long time, Yang Xun finally stammered, "Perhaps... he doesn't have any money?"

Chen Ying's allowance was pitifully small, and sometimes he needed help from Xu Bo and Yang Xun.

"That's not necessarily true. People only start to pay attention to their spiritual needs after their material needs are met."

Xu Bo sighed: "It's really not an exaggeration to say that men become bad when they have money."

Yang Xun and Xu Bo slept in the same bed at night, and neither of them got a good night's sleep.

"Brother Bo, have you figured out how you're going to spend your university life?"

Lying in bed staring at the ceiling, Yang Xun couldn't help but feel a little lost about the future.

"I haven't decided yet. I'll see what makes money and do whatever it takes," Xu Bo said, looking at the Dragon Ball poster on the wall.

"Sigh, I guess I'll just make a bunch of new friends, spend all my time in internet cafes playing games, and see if there's a girl who's my muse."

Yang Xun was admitted to Qingdao Institute of Civil Engineering. At that time, civil engineering was a major that graduates could expect to earn money by simply carrying sacks.

What Yang Xun described is indeed the college life of most people.

I do nothing every day, I just coast through the easy classes and cheat on the professional exams, just to get a diploma.

I'm hoping to find a sweet romance on the university campus.

"Xunzi, study hard. There's a wealth of knowledge in books. Things will get better in the future."

Following the normal trajectory, after graduating, Yang Xun first had a relationship that ended without a trace, and then used the savings from his family to start a construction team and became a contractor.

The infrastructure boom has begun, and now is the perfect time to make money.

Standing in the right place at the right time, even a pig can take off.

I don't know who fell asleep first, but when we woke up again it was 6:30.

Xu Bo and Yang Xun were woken up by their mother. After a quick wash, they ate steamed buns and fried dough sticks.

Apart from Xu's father and son Xu Bo, Liu Xiuqin and Yang Xun didn't have much to say to each other at the dinner table.

The atmosphere was strange.

After going downstairs and putting the luggage in the car, the family will hardly see each other for at least the next four months.

"Message me when you get to Hangzhou to let me know you're safe. Don't let Uncle He spend money on you too much on the train."

As soon as they got in the car, Liu Xiuqin finally spoke up and gave her instructions.

"Make sure you have everything you need, don't leave anything at home."

"Once you get there, no one will be watching you. Don't just think about playing all day. Learn more, get some certifications or something, so you can find a job when you come out."

"Don't get too carried away with your relationships. If you find someone suitable, just start dating them as soon as possible."

"The gifts I've given over the years are enough for our family to buy a new car."

As expected, Xu Ma couldn't suppress her emotions and started rambling on as soon as she got in the car.

By the end, Xu Bo could hear the tremor in his mother's voice.

Xu's father was already used to it. Xu Bo gently patted his mother's back from behind, repeatedly assuring her.

After the car arrived at the parking lot and the luggage was put down, the four of them went to the entrance of the train station.

Song Leisong had been waiting for a long time. When he saw Xu Bo, he first greeted Xu's parents.

"I am Xu Bo's friend," Song Leisong simply summarized his identity.

I don't know when, but he dyed his blond hair back to black, though his technique wasn't very good and the black hair looked fake.

He hugged Xu Bo and Yang Xun and said softly.

"Wang Jun originally wanted to give you some too, but his mother was hospitalized today."

Xu Bo chuckled to himself: "This old man isn't here to see me off; he's clearly here to see if he can get in touch with He Jun."

Standing in front of the security checkpoint, Mr. and Mrs. Xu originally wanted to buy a platform ticket to personally see their son onto the train.

"Mom and Dad, really, that's not necessary. I'm an adult now, let's stop here."

Xu Bo said to his father, "I sent you a message as soon as I got to Hangzhou. You and Mom should take good care of yourselves at home and not work too hard."

Liu Xiuqin couldn't hold back her tears any longer, turned around and gently wiped her eyes. Xu Tianchao was also a little sad.

Similar scenes keep happening here, with gatherings and partings seemingly being the eternal theme of life.

No one can escape it.

"Xu Bo!"

A crisp sound rang out, clear and pleasant to the ear. When Xu Bo looked toward the source of the sound, he saw He Yimei running toward him with a small schoolbag on her back.

Behind him, He Jun was carrying two suitcases with two plastic bags on top, containing some food and drinks.

"Dean He." Xu Tianchao had met He Jun before, and they would sometimes exchange a few words at the year-end gatherings.

"Boss Xu." He Jun put down the bag in his hand and came over to shake hands gently.

When Liu Xiuqin saw the girl's appearance, her tears stopped instantly. She quietly came behind her son, wanting to hear what He Yimei and her son had said to each other.

"You're late," Xu Bo said.

"It's alright, isn't this just right?" He Yimei said, biting her lower lip slightly, a little embarrassed.

"Have you eaten breakfast?"

"I ate a little; it was because of eating that I was delayed for a while."

Liu Xiuqin's expression changed noticeably as she listened from behind. She knew that the school beauty from No. 3 Middle School was very aloof, so why was she so willing to answer her son's questions?

Moreover, she was quite beautiful. Her oval face had soft lines, a full forehead that flowed down to her pointed chin, and her skin was as white as snow. The curve of her profile was as smooth as a piece of warm jade, pleasing to the eye and gentle. Her peach blossom eyes were particularly captivating, with slightly upturned corners. When she wasn't smiling, she had a somewhat aloof and distant air, but when she smiled, her eyes curved like the moon. Paired with full under-eye bags, she was full of lively laughter.

She has the makings of a star.

Liu Xiuqin gave herself the highest praise in her heart. Looking at the girl and her son standing together, she had an idea in mind.

He Yimei stood ramrod straight, her brows slightly furrowed, as if she were lecturing Xu Bo about something.

Xu Bo had his right arm draped over his suitcase, his body weight slightly tilted to the right, his feet crossed, and his left hand occasionally tugging at his ear.

"Girl, my son has been disobedient since he was little. Let's exchange contact information. When we get to Hangzhou, could you keep an eye on him for me? Otherwise, I'm afraid he'll go astray."

Liu Xiuqin stepped forward, took out her Nokia phone, and said to He Yimei.

When someone spoke to her, He Yimei first frowned, but when she saw that it was Xu Ma, her expression relaxed, and she said softly.

"Well... Auntie, I'll add you on my contact list."

Upon seeing his mother and He Yimei's actions, Xu Bo immediately stood up straight and came between them.

"What are you doing? You two even exchanged contact information. Do I have any privacy left in Hangzhou?"

Liu Xiuqin pulled Xu Bo aside and said with a smile.

"Ignore him. If he does anything wrong in Hangzhou, just tell Auntie, and Auntie will deal with him!"

He Jun heard the noise from behind and sensed something was wrong. When he saw Liu Xiuqin add his daughter's contact information and say these strange things, he immediately realized something was amiss.

But when he got there, he found it was no use; the two women had already added each other's phone numbers.

They have clearly joined the same alliance.

Their enemy is Xu Bo, who is standing right in front of them.
