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

The restaurant we ate at was Lou Wai Lou, a century-old establishment in Hangzhou and a leading catering enterprise in the city. It seems that the two uncles took this gathering very seriously.

"My dad called me recently to ask how I'm doing," the two chatted idly in the back seat of the taxi. "My aunt sometimes messages me too, asking how I and you are doing."

"My mom?" Xu Bo's eyes widened. He never expected that his mother would send a message to He Yimei.

Seeing He Yimei nod, Xu Bo quickly said, "If my mom asks me about the situation, just say I'm studying hard. Don't mention that I opened a shop."

"By the way, I haven't been to your hot pot restaurant yet?"

"I'll take you to see it after we finish eating; the renovations are almost complete."

Upon arriving at Lou Wai Lou, we entered a private room where Huang Huacheng and Guo Jiafei had been waiting for some time. Guo Jiafei had also brought a little boy who looked to be about six or seven years old, a mischievous and playful age.

"This is my son," Guo Jiafei said, pointing to the little boy next to him.

Guo Jiafei had already heard Huang Huacheng talk about Xu Bo's fight with Yi Mei last time. Since the three men were all off today, they planned to have a few drinks.

"Can you drink?" Huang Huacheng had a good impression of this young man. He had a very happy conversation with him last time and felt very comfortable with him.

"I'm still learning, so please be lenient with me today, you two uncles." Xu Bo stood up and poured drinks for the two men, then called the waiter outside to bring over a bottle of beverage.

After chatting for a bit about funny things that happened at school, the food started to arrive. Huang Huacheng had organized the gathering, so he was the one to offer the first toast.

After downing a mouthful of baijiu, Xu Bo's stomach began to churn. The hangover from last night hadn't completely subsided, so he quickly ate a few bites of cold dishes to calm himself down.

The two men kept drinking with Xu Bo about how they had helped He Yimei out of a tight spot last time. That's the strange thing about middle-aged men. They usually seem very amiable, but the dinner table is like a battlefield, where it's a fight to the death.

He Yimei was still nearby. Xu Bo managed to escape by sheer luck, but once outside, he couldn't help but vomit. Inside the restroom, seeing Xu Bo's somewhat dazed expression, He Yimei could only wipe the residue from the corner of his mouth with a tissue.

"Let's go." Huang Huacheng and Guo Jiafei stood at the door of the private room, and they felt a sense of relief as they looked at the two young people together.

"Do you think Lao He is crazy? I think those two young people are getting along quite well," Guo Jiafei said, shaking his head. He had two cards in his hand, which were recharge cards for Hailao Hot Pot.

That was what Xu Bo had just forced into their hands.

"Yeah, this young man is so young. He opened his own hot pot restaurant right after starting college. And he didn't act crazy even though he drank so much. He just talked a lot, but what he said made sense. He knows what to say and what not to say. I think he's a good guy."

Huang Huacheng carefully examined the stored-value card. It was located near his two children's university, not far away, but they didn't eat there very often. After thinking about it, he put it in his pocket.

"Come on, Xiao Bo, add your uncle's contact information."

Seeing Xu Bo come out of the restroom, Guo Jiafei waved, and the two successfully added each other's contact information.

Standing at the gate, two adults led a child away first.

"From now on, if you're in Hangzhou, just look for me and your Uncle Guo," Huang Huacheng said, patting his chest. "Let me know when you get to school."

As she turned around, just as she was about to help Xu Bo to the street to hail a taxi back to school, He Yimei suddenly felt a warm breath coming from her neck.

Xu Bo's face was flushed, and he looked at him with burning eyes.

"Let's go, let's take a taxi back to school." He Yimei said softly, her head lowered and a blush creeping up her cheeks.

Xu Bo was no longer the drunk man he had been moments before. He shook his head, his eyes gradually clearing. He hailed a taxi and got in, saying...

"Driver, to Wenyi Campus." The two sat in the back, the smell of alcohol filling the cramped car.

He Yimei opened the window to let in the natural breeze, trying to dispel the smell of alcohol.

"How much money did you invest in opening your hot pot restaurant?" He Yimei suddenly asked.

She was increasingly unable to understand the young man in front of her. After the college entrance examination, he took over an arcade in Harbin and now he had opened a hot pot restaurant. It seemed that Xu Bo's thinking was always unconventional and whimsical, but he was also very convincing in his actions.

"It's not much money. One of my roommates is rich; most of the money belongs to him. I'll introduce you to my roommate later."

As he spoke, Xu Bo took out his phone and called his dorm room. The call was answered shortly afterward, and after exchanging a few words, Xu Bo hung up.

Turning to look at He Yimei, feeling the intense gaze, He Yimei turned her head to the side, silently watching the street scene rushing past outside, her mind filled with countless thoughts, no one knew what she was thinking.

Not long after, the car stopped in front of the shop. He Yimei paid the fare, and the two got out of the car.

The shop in front of us is over 400 square meters, divided into two floors. The facilities inside are basically brand new, and the workers just left today.

The area near the entrance is a small rest area, about 50 or 60 square meters, filled with tables and chairs, but there are no holes in the middle of the tables, so it is obviously not a place to eat hot pot.

"This is a place for people to rest. You can get free manicures, shoe shining services, and even play cards."

Further inside, the walls have just been repainted, with red and white stripes that exude a festive and warm feeling, making time seem to slow down when you're here.

Gu Lin happened to come out of the kitchen and saw Xu Bo's drunken state. She frowned at first, and then saw He Yimei next to him. She was a little surprised. Why were there always several beautiful women jumping out of Xu Bo's side from time to time?

"The workers just left, and the renovations are all done. When would you like to transfer the money to them?"

"No rush, I'll transfer it to him tonight."

As soon as he finished speaking, the three roommates arrived. They were stunned when they saw He Yimei. They hadn't expected that Xu Bo would have such a beautiful woman by his side.

"This is my fellow townsman, my high school classmate, and the white moonlight I've been chasing for three whole years, He Yimei." Xu Bo generously introduced He Yimei's identity, causing He Yimei's face to flush red, and she slapped Xu Bo several times.

The three listened to the introduction and exchanged glances at each other, their eyes filled with disbelief. However, they quickly stopped thinking under the intimidating gaze of Xu Bo.

After introducing themselves, the group got to know each other. They carefully checked the workers' work and, after confirming that there were no problems, Xu Bo waited for a while until the phone rang.

"Hey boss, we're here to install the signboard, we're almost there."

"Come on in, I happen to be in the store."

After hanging up the phone, the group chatted for a while in the shop before the plaque installer arrived at the shop entrance.
