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

It only takes about ten minutes to walk between Hangzhou Electric Power Engineering College and the two campuses of Hangzhou University.

On the way there, Xu Bo kept He Yimei informed of his location via messages.

So when he arrived at the gate of Hangzhou University, he saw He Yimei and her father He Jun standing there from afar.

"I'm sorry, Uncle, I'm late."

"It's okay, we just arrived not long ago. This afternoon we accompanied Yimei to stroll around the school and bought some things at the mall."

He Jun hailed a taxi and said, "To Zhiweiguan."

This time, He Jun didn't try anything funny with Xu Bo; he simply opened the front door and got in.

Xu Bo was still a little shocked. How could He Jun have changed his personality in just one afternoon?

How's your roommate?

After getting into the car, Xu Bo asked softly.

Unexpectedly, He Yimei covered her forehead after hearing this and said, "In a four-person dormitory, the remaining two are fine, but there's one from Sichuan and Chongqing who seems to have a difficult temper."

When it comes to things at school, He Yimei clearly has a lot to say.

"The two locals weren't particularly xenophobic, but they had a certain inexplicable arrogance, which was tolerable."

"That classmate from Sichuan and Chongqing had a really bad temper. I thought only girls from our hometown had bad tempers."

"I really didn't expect that people from Sichuan and Chongqing have similar temperaments to us."

Xu Bo gently advised, "A bad temper isn't necessarily a bad thing. People in every region have their own inherent personality traits, which is the result of cultural heritage passed down over the past century."

"But above this foundation lies the acquired character cultivated by the family environment and upbringing a person receives from childhood."

"Besides having a bad temper, they may be gentle in other ways. Don't judge others with prejudice."

He Yimei listened quietly from the side. Having been too well protected since childhood, she was still ignorant about the world, but thinking about what happened this afternoon still gave her a headache.

"This afternoon, a senior kept asking for this student from Sichuan or Chongqing's contact information. I refused several times, but I guess he's just harassing her because he thinks she's easy to bully."

"I was just about to go up and help when this girl started swearing in her dialect. If I hadn't stopped her, we probably would have started fighting."

With the window half-open, the cold wind outside seeped into the car through the gaps. The taxi was almost at its destination, and the famous West Lake was not far away.

For a brief moment, He Yimei seemed to be able to see Leifeng Pagoda outside, the place where Bai Suzhen was supposedly imprisoned by the old Fahai.

"I wonder if Bai Suzhen ever imagined that people would still remember her story thousands of years later."

He Yimei didn't say anything more about her roommate's complaints, seemingly feeling that she had said too much tonight. At this moment, she just wanted to quietly enjoy the beautiful scenery of the new city.

After getting off the car, they arrived at the restaurant's front desk. Guided by the waiter, the three of them went to the door of the private room.

"Old He, it's been a long time!"

As soon as He Jun entered the door, he was warmly embraced and hugged tightly.

"Old Guo, it's been a long time!"

After saying that, he hugged another burly man next to him.

"Old Huang, you're still in such good health!"

After taking his seat, He Jun began to introduce himself to his daughter.

"Girl, these two uncles are Dad's old classmates. This is your Uncle Guo, and this is your Uncle Huang."

Guo Jiafei is a manager at a local bank. He is in his late forties and looks very well-maintained, except for a slight receding hairline and thick black-rimmed glasses that make him look like he's wearing a beer bottle on his face.

Huang Huacheng is the deputy warden of the prison. He is middle-aged and has been quite satisfied with his life so far. The alcohol ban has not yet been issued. He came tonight with the thought of reminiscing about his youth and was determined to have a big fight with his old classmates.

He Yimei greeted them politely, and her graceful appearance naturally drew praise from the two adults.

"This is Xu Bo, my daughter's high school classmate. His university isn't far from Yimei's. His family is in the logistics business, and we often see each other when they organize gatherings at the end of the year."

He Jun pointed to Xu Bo with his little finger and briefly introduced his family background.

Xu Bo quickly stood up and bowed slightly to the group.

While the group was chatting, the dishes were served, and Xu Bo sat at the serving area and busied himself with preparing them.

They kept refilling the tea and water. When Guo Jiafei's chopsticks fell to the ground, Xu Bo rushed out and found the waiter at the door to get a new pair of chopsticks.

Xu Bo rediscovered the feeling of being subservient to others when he first started his business.

"Old He, the girl is so pretty, you'd better keep an eye on her, otherwise there are plenty of scoundrels in college."

Huang Huacheng said half-jokingly, but who would have thought that this joke would make the slightly tipsy and happy He Jun sigh deeply.

"To be honest with you two, I'm really worried."

He Jun began to pour out his troubles to his old friend.

"Just this afternoon, as I walked by, three or four young boys asked my daughter for her contact information. I'm her father, and they dared to do this."

"I can't even imagine what would happen if I weren't there, they'd be lining up like crazy."

Xu Bo finally understood why He Jun's attitude towards him had changed slightly after just one afternoon.

So, he doesn't trust the male students in college, and he thinks that he, a guy he knows well, is the person he trusts the most.

"Things are different now. Unlike back then, when men and women were all very pure."

The meal was very enjoyable, and He Yimei has already added the two uncles' contact information so they can help with any issues, big or small, in Hangzhou in the future.

The last three people were still conscious, but they were already walking unsteadily.

"Xu...Xu Bo!"

"I'm here, Uncle He."

Upon hearing the call, Xu Bo immediately ran to his side.

"When you escort He Yimei back later, you must watch her enter the school gate before you leave, understand?"

He Yimei was going back to school to stay that night, and He Jun naturally couldn't go in with her.

Xu Bo felt that the three of them still had a lot to talk about, and there should be another event. Moreover, He Jun had been widowed for many years, and he wondered if he would go out and have some fun.

Xu Bo naturally agreed. Watching the three of them leave in a taxi, Xu Bo and He Yimei exchanged a glance outside the restaurant, seemingly feeling a little awkward.

A gentle breeze was blowing, making one feel a little cold.

Coincidentally, Xu Bo wasn't wearing a coat either, so he couldn't create a heartwarming scene where he gave her his coat.

"Come back to the shop with me," Xu Bo said to He Yimei.

He Yimei was a little puzzled. Could it be that something was left behind? That shouldn't be the case. Before leaving, Xu Bo had specifically looked around, but seeing him turn around and go back to the shop, she had no choice but to follow him.

"How about we take a night cruise on West Lake later?"

Looking at the West Lake so close at hand, He Yimei suddenly had this idea.
