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

The afternoon military training ended quickly. Xu Bo was called away by the lead instructor, who said a few words to him, and then he followed the long line to inspect the class formation.

"One class of students was already taken to the hospital this morning due to heatstroke. You must make sure that the students report their physical condition truthfully."

Several students clearly expressed their discomfort, especially Zhang Haifeng, who looked honest but was actually full of bad intentions. He pretended to have heatstroke and was exposed by the school doctor.

He was supposed to stand at attention for ten minutes as punishment, but Xu Bo intervened and saved him from punishment.

After a day of military training, Xu Bo followed his three roommates out of the playground and encountered Bai Feifei along the way.

"You guys go and grab seats first, and remember to get me a meal, anything is fine." Xu Bo waved for the three of them to leave first.

"I will return your five hundred yuan to you," Bai Feifei said very seriously.

Xu Bo waved his hand and said, "No need. After all, I spent your money. Objectively speaking, your heatstroke is related to me, and I can't shirk that responsibility."

"So consider this my compensation to you."

To everyone's surprise, Bai Feifei quickly shook her head and refused, saying, "No, that's too much. I can't withdraw 500 yuan from my meal card right now. You can use my card to pay for meals in the cafeteria from now on."

Withdrawing money deposited into a meal card incurs a handling fee and is quite troublesome.

Seeing Bai Feifei's persistence, Xu Bo grinned and said.

"That works, but I have one condition."

"Go ahead," Bai Feifei said, looking at Xu Bo warily, afraid that he would bring up the matter of helping him find a part-time job again.

"You're going to work at my shop."

"don't want."

Bai Feifei looked at Xu Bo, whose hat was askew, and said firmly, "Don't even think about it. There's no way I'd work in a place like that!"

Xu Bo frowned and said, "What's wrong with my kind of place? As long as you have time to come over, that's fine. We're classmates, and I won't be too strict with you."

"I have principles," Bai Feifei said, staring into Xu Bo's eyes. "My family isn't well-off, so I need to find a part-time job, but I'm definitely not the kind of girl who's materialistic!"

After saying that, Bai Feifei stuffed the meal card into Xu Bo's arms and then turned around and left to find her roommates.

Standing there, watching Bai Feifei walk away, Xu Bo touched his nose, seemingly sensing some misunderstanding between the two.

But this misunderstanding can't be cleared up in a short time.

Turning around, Xu Bo found the three roommates still queuing up and said, waving his meal card, "Use this card to pay, it's on me."

"Where did you get this meal card?" Yu Haoqi asked curiously.

"Bai Feifei thanked me for her heatstroke, so she let me use her meal card."

"Xu Bo, I noticed that Bai Feifei's family isn't very well-off. Why are you still using her credit card?" Wang Yan asked.

Xu Bo shrugged and did not choose to answer.

The line quickly reached the four people. Xu Bo casually ordered a rice bowl and then swiped his card for the other three in turn.

When they arrived at their seats, Xu Bo noticed that Bai Feifei had been following them the whole time. Now that the four boys were seated, Bai Feifei walked over and reached out to ask for her meal card.

"Did you buy anything to eat?" Xu Bo didn't give her anything, but asked instead.

"not yet."

"So you're not planning to eat steamed buns and plain porridge again, are you? You've already been to the school clinic once, are you planning to go again?" Xu Bo saw that Bai Feifei didn't react, so he pulled her to sit next to him, and then turned to his three roommates and said.

"You three sit here and don't let her get away."

Then he walked towards the stall and luckily ran into Zhang Haifeng, a classmate, who let Xu Bo cut in line.

Beef and celery, eggs and persimmons, stir-fried beef with yellow peppers, and white rice were served directly to Bai Feifei by Xu Bo.

"Eat up." After saying that, Xu Bo put the meal card into Bai Feifei's pocket.

"My roommate is still waiting for me." Bai Feifei turned around to look for her roommate.

"You've already bought it, are you planning to waste it?"

"Then I'll take it and go find it." Bai Feifei said, about to get up, but Xu Bo grabbed her again.

"With so many people around, you don't even know where your roommate is. You're going to bump into someone while carrying a plate of food."

Looking around, all she saw were freshmen in camouflage military training uniforms. Bai Feifei tried to get up, but was bumped by a student's elbow and awkwardly sat back down.

"Eat quickly, it'll get cold soon."

Helpless, Bai Feifei had no choice but to reluctantly eat the food in front of her.

During this time, the three roommates remained silent, watching Xu Bo's actions in quiet. Their eyes met with disbelief.

"Are you misunderstanding me? The part-time job I'm talking about is a legitimate one."

Bai Feifei ignored him; she just wanted to finish eating quickly and escape from Xu Bo beside her.

"I opened a hot pot restaurant outside the school. If you're interested, you can come and work as a waiter in my restaurant. It's 600 yuan a month. We take the same courses, so I'm asking you to come. If I don't want you to come, then you don't have to go."

Bai Feifei's chopsticks froze in mid-air. She didn't know if Xu Bo was telling the truth or lying. There were news reports about criminals deceiving girls.

They claimed it was a normal part-time job, but when the girl arrived at the location, several burly men dragged her into a nightclub.

"Think about it first. It's right on Zhigong Road near the entrance. It'll be under renovation soon, so please consider it."

Xu Bo has other things to do right now. He needs to sign a contract later, and he also needs to go to He Yimei and Zheng Wan'er in the evening to discuss the base ingredients.

The three roommates had already finished eating. Boys eat fast, and they sat on their chairs, looking around at pretty girls on campus, seemingly bored.

"I'm gone."

The four of them left the cafeteria and headed out of the school.

Bai Feifei was left alone in the cafeteria, slowly eating her dinner. After a while, she heard her roommate's voice behind her.

"Feifei, why are you sitting here?"

"We were just looking for you."

Qin Fang and Liu Xiaojuan said anxiously.

"I told you, you're too thin now, you should eat more," Qian Liyue said with satisfaction, looking at Bai Feifei's plate of food.

The three sat down and took out tissues to gently wipe away the grease from the corners of their mouths.

"Xu Bo bought it." Bai Feifei said softly, telling her everything that had just happened and asking her roommate for advice.

......

Outside the school gate, Xu Bo and his three friends returned to their dormitory, took a hot shower, changed their clothes, and walked to the shops on Jiaogong Road.

"Boss Zhao, I've arrived. When are you coming over?"

"Wait a moment, he's already out the door, he'll be there in three minutes," Zhao Qian's voice came from the other end of the phone.

After hanging up the phone, Xu Bo saw Yu Haoqi and Du Qinglong standing at the door, peering through the glass door.

"Wow, it's huge, Xu Bo."
