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

Upon hearing Xu Bo's words, the driver gripped the steering wheel, intending to turn left, but instead quickly turned right and followed the flow of traffic into the lane.

The driver first glanced at Xu Bo, then looked at the expressions of the father and daughter in the back seat through the rearview mirror.

"What's going on? Their accent doesn't sound like a local's."

If the driver follows Xu Bo's route, this fare would only cost around thirty yuan. However, if the driver takes a longer, detour, this fare could cost eighty or ninety yuan, or even over one hundred yuan.

Judging from their appearance, they were just parents who came to drop their children off at school, and their financial situation was not bad.

With the start of the school year, drivers have made a lot of money.

"Young man, are you a local?" Taxi drivers in every city have this ability: they can strike up a conversation with anyone.

"No, from the Northeast." Xu Bo looked at the familiar scenery outside, his thoughts churning.

Like Harbin, this city also witnessed the next sixteen years of his life and occupied a large place in his memory.

"Young man, you seem to know the route very well." The driver spoke with a distinctive Hangzhou accent, the last syllable carrying a strong, penetrating force that went straight into Xu Bo's ears.

In fact, not only was the driver somewhat surprised, but He Jun in the back was even more shocked. If it weren't for Xu Bo, it was clear that he and his daughter would have been scammed today.

Although he had already made this plan, he was even willing to spend more money.

After all, nobody wants to cause trouble when they're out and about.

But Xu Bo was clearly familiar with the area, and even his conversation had been tinged with Hangzhou dialect, with changes in tone and timbre.

Seeing Xu Bo's indifferent expression, the master remained silent.

Looking in the rearview mirror, I saw that the girl was really beautiful. Her peach blossom eyes were slightly upturned at the corners, but her eyes were cold. The roundness of her oval face could not neutralize this aloofness that kept people at a distance.

This feeling was similar to that of Xu Bo next to me. After the two of them got on the bus, they barely spoke to each other, ignoring each other and only focusing on looking at the scenery outside the window.

"Could it be that the young couple had a fight?"

The driver's imagination ran wild, and he immediately thought of Qiong Yao dramas, where the boys and girls all acted this way.

The man in the back looked like the girl's father, the driver cleared his throat and said.

"Hangzhou is a great place! Are you here to drop your child off at school?"

The driver deliberately added a questioning tone to something that was so obvious.

He Jun was just wondering what to say, but seeing his master extending an olive branch, he started chatting with him.

The two chatted for a long time about the beautiful scenery and culture of Hangzhou, but when the topic turned to food, it was quickly moved on.

"Oh, right, there's another place, Lingyin Temple. It has an elegant environment and is surrounded by scenic spots like Feilai Peak."

"That temple is very effective for praying for marriage. It's very popular and also a great place for couples to take a walk. You can pray there for a happy life, academic progress, and a long-lasting love."

As the conversation drew to a close, the master spoke, his gaze constantly shifting between Xu Bo beside him and He Yimei behind him, trying to salvage the precarious relationship between the two young lovers.

Xu Bo didn't mind at first, and the two chatted as they pleased. Although their voices were a bit loud, it didn't affect his journey of remembrance.

But now it seems like the Q has landed on me?

My mind temporarily stopped recalling, and I tilted my head slightly to the left. Out of the corner of my eye, I could see He Yimei. Her calves were tense, and her hands were placed on her thighs with her fingers interlocked.

You can't see anything higher up, and Xu Bo isn't a flounder.

He Jun was taken aback when he heard this, but then he understood, sighed, and changed the subject.

Fortunately, the journey only took about thirty minutes, and we first arrived at Hangzhou University's Xixi Campus.

The three got off the bus, and at the school gate, there were volunteers, or upperclassmen, being pulled over as free labor to carry out the welcoming activities.

"Alright, you can go now. If you're free later, your uncle will have dinner with you."

A train journey changed He Jun's opinion of Xu Bo considerably.

Xu Bo initially thought it was just polite talk. He knew that He Jun had some friends in Hangzhou, and since it was a rare occasion for him to come over, it was obvious that he wanted to get together.

On the train, Xu Bo heard He Jun making phone calls, his voice filled with hearty laughter, the kind of affection only found between longtime friends.

"Okay, I'm leaving, Uncle."

"I'm leaving, Yimei."

Xu Bo greeted He Jun and He Yimei, then got back into the taxi and headed towards Hangzhou Electric Power Engineering Co., Ltd.

As He Yimei stood there watching the departing vehicle, a ripple of emotion stirred within her.

Behind her stood a tall, handsome senior student who had sacrificed a month's worth of dinners to secure the opportunity to help He Yimei with the freshman process.

"Hello, are you a new student registering for school? I will help you with all the procedures for new student enrollment today."

The boy took the suitcase from He Jun's hands and began to guide the two of them toward the freshman registration area.

Meanwhile, Yu Guang kept glancing at He Yimei. She had a slender figure, with curves in all the right places and a perfect figure in all the right places.

An oval face, if you ignore the eyes, is practically a perfect masterpiece from Nuwa's graduation project. But if you look up, you'll see the coldness in her eyes and a sense of indifference towards everything.

"Senior," He Yimei said, her voice clear and gentle, like taking a bite of chilled lychee, which was very intoxicating.

"Go ahead." Although he still pretended to be profound, the tension and joy in his voice were no longer hidden.

"How long does it take to get to Hangzhou Electric Power University from here?"

The boy thought for a moment and said, "It would take about seven or eight minutes to walk, or five or six minutes if I'm in a hurry."

He Yimei nodded, but didn't respond much to her senior. No one knew what she was thinking.

He Jun, standing behind her, could only sigh and shake his head repeatedly. It seemed that after he left, this girl and Xu Bo would inevitably have more interactions.

......

He Jun had already paid the money. When they arrived at their destination, Xu Bo got out of the car in a very ostentatious manner, went to the trunk, took out his suitcase, and slung his backpack over his shoulder.

I walked towards the gate of Hangzhou Electric Power Engineering College, where a red banner hung, looking very festive.

"A warm welcome to the Class of 2000."

Returning to this familiar place, Xu Bo was filled with emotion. He stood at the entrance, staring at the gate for a long time, reluctant to leave, until the security guard slowly moved toward him with a wary look in his eyes.

Xu Bocai gave a slight, awkward laugh and walked towards the gate.

Hangzhou Dianzi University has far more men than women; it's almost entirely full of single men. Forget about beautiful women, you could count the number of women on your fingers.

Although it may be a bit of an exaggeration, this is a true reflection of Hangzhou Electric Power Engineering Co., Ltd.
