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

"You young people go and eat, the uncles and aunties can wander around the school first."

After exchanging greetings, the three adults began to leave, leaving the four young people looking at each other in bewilderment.

Actually, it's not so bad. Yu Haoqi isn't the type to be coy or hesitant. He's always the one who breaks the ice when things get awkward.

Du Qinglong also dislikes awkward silences, but he is by no means the type to initiate conversations; he is a typical person who enjoys creating a lively atmosphere.

Wang Yan actually has a strong desire to share, but he is socially awkward. However, once you get to know him, he can have more fun than anyone else and is completely open and honest with everyone. He is a true brother, comparable to those in northern Myanmar.

Not to mention Xu Bo, who has lived a second life and knows everyone's temperament and personality like the back of his hand. If you go along with them, everyone will be able to get along with you.

"What scores did you all get into university?" Yu Haoqi was the first to break the silence.

"Over 500 points." Du Qinglong from Xishan said first, his voice was a bit rough, a voice that was born from the Northwest, bold and generous, and also enthusiastic.

Wang Yan wanted to speak, but Du Qinglong spoke first, so he just opened his mouth, intending to say it last.

"Go ahead and say it. If my score can't compare to yours, then I won't be ashamed," Xu Bo said with a smile, putting his arm around Wang Yan's shoulder after seeing his action.

Wang Yan was initially somewhat resistant to Xu Bo's actions, but upon hearing Xu Bo's words, his expression changed, and he spoke up.

"I also have a score of over 500, just over 500. Since I'm a local, I'll definitely get some benefits."

Once a topic was started, the conversation flowed freely, and the four of them chatted about everything under the sun, from their hometowns to their plans for the future.

The most important thing in college life is your love life. The emotions that have been suppressed for three years in high school are officially released when you step into the college campus.

There are so few girls at our school.

When this topic came up, Yu Haoqi, that old lecher, couldn't contain his excitement. He had arrived early and had more time to observe the university campus.

I noticed that among the crowds coming and going, boys made up 80%, while girls made up less than 20% of the strolling around the campus.

Moreover, the quality was also questionable, which dealt a significant blow to Yu Haoqi's aspirations for university.

"Sigh, I still want to study hard and get more certificates. If I happen to get these kinds of opportunities, great; if not, I'll just have to leave school and enter the workforce to find something."

Du Qinglong sighed somewhat.

Wang Yan and Xu Bo walked at the very back. One was socially awkward and not very good at talking, while the other was observing the girls in the school, trying to find the figure that haunted his dreams.

"Where should we eat, Xiao Yan?"

Before they knew it, the way they addressed each other began to change.

Wang Yan looked up at Yu Haoqi, pointed to the school gate, and said, "There's a Hangzhou-style restaurant on Jiaogong Road that's really authentic. Let's go there to eat."

"Alright, lead the way."

Seeing the excited expressions on the faces of the two people in front of him, Xu Bo sighed silently.

The restaurant Wang Yan mentioned did have good food, but the price would probably be well over 100 yuan.

He was already silently making plans in his mind: he would go to the front desk to pay the bill first, and he couldn't let Wang Yan spend the money on this meal.

The Wenyi campus isn't very big; after walking for a short while, the group arrived at the main gate.

Unfortunately, Xu Bo never saw the person he longed for.

Turn left after leaving the house, and the four of them arrived at Jiaogong Road, just one street away.

One shop had a very prominent sign with a banner that read "Authentic Hangzhou Cuisine".

Du Qinglong and Yu Haoqi were already quite hungry, so when they saw the restaurant, they quickened their pace.

But when they went inside, they regretted it. The interior decoration wasn't exactly opulent, but it was at least exquisite and elegant.

It's clearly not something they can afford at their age.

As soon as Wang Yan and Xu Bo entered the room, the two who had arrived earlier exchanged glances and began to have second thoughts, pulling Wang Yan and Xu Bo along to leave.

"No, let's keep this place. I'll pay," Wang Yan said softly. Although he felt that their relationship had made some progress, he couldn't change his personality so easily.

Xu Bo, standing nearby, was also trying to reassure them, while showing off his Nokia phone to put their minds at ease.

This is also a way to demonstrate one's strength.

Du Qinglong and Yu Haoqi finally managed to sit down at a table outside, but when the waiter handed them the menu, they were completely stumped after seeing the prices.

With trembling hands, I selected the two cheapest ingredients, which still cost twenty yuan each.

The two people standing nearby advised, "A few more bowls of rice would be enough, or you should just go back to the cafeteria to eat."

Wang Yan ignored them and simply checked off the dishes he thought tasted best from the menu.

"Squirrel-shaped mandarin fish, Longjing shrimp, and clear soup fish balls—these are the most authentic Hangzhou dishes."

After handing the selected menu to the waiter, Wang Yan went out to wash his hands. Xu Bo originally wanted to go with him.

However, Du Qinglong and Yu Haoqi stopped him.

"Xiao Bo, let's split this meal among ourselves. It's too expensive, we can't let Wang Yan pay for it all by himself."

Du Qinglong's bald head was so shiny it could reflect the lights above his head.

"Okay, that's exactly what I was thinking too."

Sometimes taking on too much responsibility isn't a good thing; you also need to consider other people's self-esteem.

Neither of the two people in front of him liked to take advantage of others, so Xu Bo could only respond in this way for now.

But Xu Bo had already made up his mind to go to the front desk to deposit money and make the three of them owe him a favor, since he would need his three roommates' help with many things at school in the future.

Wang Yan returned shortly afterward, and Du Qinglong and Yu Haoqi went to the restroom first.

Taking this opportunity, Xu Bo asked, "Xiao Yan, do you know of any vacant shops around here?"

Wang Yan was somewhat surprised by Xu Bo's question, but after thinking for a while, he lowered his head and said, "Yes."

"This Jiaogong Road is lined with shops. Baitanghai, near the school, is close to hotels and residential areas, so it's quite popular and also close to our school."

"Then there's Wensan Road, which is a bit far from our school, but it's still part of our university area."

"If we're talking about decent shops around here, there's another place called Jiashan Road. It actually has the strongest commercial atmosphere there, but it's a bit far from our school area."

After careful consideration, Wang Yan gave his answer. Just as he was about to ask Xu Bo why he was asking these questions, the two who had gone to the restroom returned.

Wang Yan didn't ask any more questions, and Xu Bo took the opportunity to stand up and walk towards the restroom.

Two or three minutes later, Xu Bo quickly came out, turned right and went to the front desk, and took out his wallet.

"A deposit of 300 yuan is required for all 114 tables."

Xu Bo took out three bright red banknotes from his pocket and said to the cashier.

The waiter checked the records and said.

"Excuse me, sir, your table consists of our members who have already prepaid using their stored-value cards."
