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

The group continued walking towards the school, having thoroughly explored the area.

There's a small shop inside He Yimei University that accepts packages; students fill in their delivery addresses here.

Upon arriving at the courier station, Zheng Wan'er went inside to pick up her package, while the other three waited at the entrance.

There was a small supermarket nearby. Xu Bo was a little thirsty, so he went in and bought a few bottles of water. Du Qinglong had run out of cigarettes and was going to buy some food.

The supermarket was crowded, so He Yimei didn't go in and just idly fiddled with her phone at the entrance.

Her phone is the same model as Xu Bo's, only the color is different.

I've heard that some couples in college exchange matching phone back covers to show their sweetness and to assert their ownership of each other.

Thinking of this, He Yimei suddenly blushed.

"No wonder it's a top university; there are so many beautiful women here!"

Du Qinglong smacked his lips and accidentally uttered his hometown dialect.

What do you think of Zheng Wan'er?

Xu Bo chose a bottle of cola; he liked the red one because it was fizzy and sweet.

"Great! He's good-looking, has a great figure, and a generous personality." Du Qinglong took two packs of Liqun cigarettes, which was a huge expense for him. "Anyone who can find him as their girlfriend will be incredibly lucky."

Upon hearing this, Xu Bo understood that He Yimei would need an informant in the future, and this informant would also need to know some of her secrets.

Chen Ying and Yang Xun are too far away for Xu Bo to reach, so he needs to start selecting his own team from now on, starting with his dorm roommates.

The first step was to help Du Qinglong win over Zheng Wan'er.

Of course, this kind of thing needs to be considered carefully. There will be many more days to meet in the future, so there's no need to rush.

"Junior, have you read your freshman handbook yet?"

When the two came out of the supermarket, Xu Bo and Du Qinglong saw He Yimei being harassed by a long-haired man.

"I didn't see it, I lost it." He Yimei remained aloof to the others.

Some people know they are no match after just one look and flee in defeat, while others prefer to challenge themselves with high difficulty and choose to face it head-on.

"What's wrong? Is it not precise enough? I have more detailed information here if you need it."

"By the way, you freshmen are having military training tomorrow. I know the grade teachers very well, so you can ask for sick leave during military training if you have a sick note."

The long-haired man exuded a rock and roll vibe, his long hair slightly permed, and he wore a leather jacket, giving him a rather dashing appearance.

But He Yimei ignored this, standing aside with her arms crossed and turning her head away from the chattering long-haired man.

Seeing Xu Bo come out, he walked straight up to him, stood beside him, and finally a smile appeared on his cold face as he spoke.

"Wan'er hasn't come out yet, let's wait a bit."

Xu Bo naturally noticed the long-haired man with a rock-and-roll vibe and said it deliberately.

"Okay, when Wan'er comes out, Qinglong and I will take you two back to your dorm."

He Yimei nodded with a smile.

The long-haired man was initially a little resentful when he saw the girl he was pursuing acting this way, and wanted to come up and say a few words.

But Du Qinglong stepped forward, took a few steps forward, and stood in front of Xu Bo and He Yimei, blocking the long-haired man's path.

Years of boxing have given him a strong physique. Although he doesn't have the bulky build of a bodybuilder, he is still considered well-proportioned and perfect.

But his appearance makes him look nothing like a martial arts master; instead, he's the biggest henchman of criminals.

Seeing the long-haired man standing still, Du Qinglong straightened his chest and took a few steps forward. His broad chest bumped into the long-haired man's head, causing him to stumble backward a few steps.

Just as he was about to say something, he saw Du Qinglong tear open a pack of Liqun cigarettes and put one in his mouth.

Throughout the entire ordeal, Du Qinglong remained silent, but the overwhelming pressure had shattered the long-haired man's resolve, leaving him unable to cope. He could only awkwardly laugh a few times before hastily fleeing.

Du Qinglong tossed the unopened box of Liqun cigarettes into Xu Bo's hands.

"Why did you give it to me?" Xu Bo asked, somewhat puzzled.

"I've eaten at your place twice, so I'll buy you a pack of cigarettes as a token of my appreciation," Du Qinglong said with a smile, rubbing the back of his head.

Seeing this, Xu Bo had no choice but to accept the pack of cigarettes.

He knew that Du Qinglong's family was not well-off, and those two packs of cigarettes might be his weekly living expenses. But sometimes, when someone chooses to repay you because of past help, please don't refuse, because you should also consider their feelings.

Not everyone likes to take without giving back; if they are refused, they will feel very bad.

He Yimei was about to urge Xu Bo not to smoke, but her open mouth quickly closed, and after a moment of silence, she spoke softly.

"Smoke less; smoking is bad for your health."

In the past, she would have simply confiscated Xu Bo's cigarettes, but she knew that this was only a temporary solution and would only reduce Xu Bo's smoking.

Somewhat surprised by He Yimei's change in personality, Xu Bo said softly, "I'll listen to you, I'll only smoke one from now on."

As he spoke, he tentatively reached out, wanting to try and hold He Yimei's small hand.

But he didn't give her a chance at all. The instant their fingertips touched, He Yimei immediately slapped Xu Bo's groping hand away and stared at Xu Bo with wide eyes.

The cold, arrogant expression on her delicate oval face instantly returned, her eyes filled with murderous rage.

Xu Bo chuckled awkwardly, then reluctantly withdrew his hand and gave up.

The package sent by Zheng Wan'er's family was wrapped in a snakeskin bag, which couldn't be torn open by hand. So when she arrived at the dormitory building, Zheng Wan'er asked Xu Bo to wait a moment while she went up to tear it open and took out a bag of base material.

Once the figure disappeared from sight, Xu Bo gestured to Du Qinglong, the third wheel, to move away, and then spoke to He Yimei.

What do you think of your current roommate?

After thinking for a moment, He Yimei said, "He's a good person, generous, and we get along well."

"Remember what I asked you about your roommate in the car last night? Now that I think about it, isn't it true that you need to get to know a person's true nature through more interaction?"

"That's right. We were supposed to have dinner together today, but my two roommates from Hangzhou probably had something in common, so they went to eat early, leaving Wan'er and me hungry, which led to today's trouble."

Unexpectedly, small cliques formed in the dormitory on the very second day, which is not a good thing for future dormitory life.

Xu Bo thought to himself, but there was nothing he could do about it. After all, it was a matter between girls, and he was just a student from another school, so he couldn't interfere at all.

"So, after all this time we've known each other, what do you think of me?"

Xu Bo opened his mouth, his words carrying a hint of expectation.

To He Yimei, it sounded like a confession to her; he had used the same tone the night before she received her acceptance letter, right by the riverbank.
