Reborn in 2015, I became a male god starting in high school.

Chapter 29 Seeing Ghosts for Most of the Day

It wasn't until his colleague brought it up that Zhou Guowei thought of his own son.

"You mean Ziyang got first place in the city?" Zhou Guowei's tone was even tinged with disbelief.

Hearing this, the old colleague couldn't help but laugh and said, "Inspector Zhou really has a bad memory. He doesn't even know that his own son got first place in the exam. If I had such a son, I would definitely go to my great-grandfather's grave to burn some incense and thank my ancestors for their blessings."

People say that the third mock exam is the one most similar to the college entrance exam.

Zhou Ziyang ranked first in the city in the third mock exam, which is equivalent to being a candidate for the top scorer in the college entrance examination.

It's the funniest joke in the world that his own father didn't know about his grades.

At this moment, Zhou Guowei's expression also turned somewhat unpleasant.

He suddenly remembered that Xia Wei's expression had been strange yesterday.

He even asked a couple more questions, but before he could say anything, he did.

However, Xu Qing covered it up.

Now that I think about it, I feel that Xu Qing deliberately kept it from me.

His own son got first place in the exam, and he, as the father, didn't even know, and was even ridiculed by his old rival.

"Your son is really promising. He got a perfect score on his Chinese composition. It seems like very few people in the whole country can get a perfect score like that. I heard it's going to be published in the newspaper. You have a great son," said the old colleague.

Zhou Guowei also knew that it was very difficult to get a perfect score on a Chinese composition.

Hearing that Zhou Ziyang got a perfect score, I thought it was really impressive.

After all, it was his own son. Zhou Guowei was proud of him for getting such a high score. He told his colleagues that the child had been very talented in literature since he was a child.

Upon hearing this, the old rival couldn't help but chuckle.

"You really have no idea what your son wrote."

"Alright, I have a lot of things to talk about, so I won't chat with you anymore."

"Anyway, you can't tell the difference between good and bad words."

After saying this, the colleague turned and left.

Zhou Guowei, who was originally in a good mood, suddenly became depressed.

It's impossible to say that Zhou Guowei doesn't care about his son.

However, Zhou Guowei and Yang Lijuan have been divorced for more than ten years.

He couldn't possibly lose his appetite and sleep every day because of Zhou Ziyang.

He had also inquired about his son privately.

He had also spoken with the school when the classes were divided in high school.

Otherwise, given Zhou Ziyang's grades, he definitely wouldn't have been able to get into the advanced class.

But he also has his own life.

It wasn't him who wanted a divorce at the time.

The wife insisted on getting a divorce.

Because his first wife was too stubborn; she would argue with him over the slightest thing.

She even brought her family's messy affairs to her workplace, making them known to everyone.

If she were even half as sensible as Xu Qing, how could she possibly get a divorce?

Although he and Xu Qing were not married, Xu Qing had taken meticulous care of him for the past three years. She not only kept the house in perfect order, but also never had to lift a finger to clean his own dirty clothes and smelly socks.

What impressed Zhou Guowei the most was that he used to only wash his teacup once every one or two months.

Now, every time he comes home and sits in his study, he finds that the cups have been washed again.

He made the same mistake that all men make when he was young; it's not like he's abandoning his son.

He has already made arrangements for his son's future job, car, and house.

He never imagined that his son would actually get the highest score in the city.

This brought Zhou Guowei an unprecedented sense of crisis.

He suddenly remembered what his wife had said to him when they divorced.

What if my son really becomes successful and doesn't acknowledge me anymore?
Thinking about this, Zhou Guowei hesitated for a moment.

The more Zhou Guowei thought about it, the more flustered he became.

He eventually made a phone call to his ex-wife.

The phone rang twice before being answered.

"Hey?"

His ex-wife's voice was so familiar, it touched a chord deep within him.

He hesitated for a moment, then said, "Lijuan."

Beep, beep, beep!
Without hesitation, the person on the other end of the phone hung up immediately.

Zhou Guowei was speechless.

It's been like this for twenty years!

It's not that I don't want to communicate, but every time I call him, he does the same thing.

He wanted to show concern for his ex-wife and son, but he didn't even have the chance.

This time was different, though; Zhou Ziyang came in first in the entire city.

It's an honor for the Zhou family!

Even if they were divorced, she couldn't change the fact that Zhou Ziyang was her child.

Thinking about the possibility that Zhou Ziyang might actually become the top scorer in the college entrance examination in the future.

Then his own business would become deserted. Zhou Guowei would then become a laughingstock throughout the county.

Zhou Guowei couldn't sit still for a moment, so he called the driver in the yard and asked him to take him to the county's No. 1 Middle School.

No matter what, he had to see his son.

My son got such good grades, so as a father, I have to reward him.

Last time, Xia Wei got the highest score in the whole school, and Xu Qing took advantage of the situation to make him reward Xia Wei with an Apple mobile phone.

Zhou Guowei didn't even blink at the time.

Now that his own son has achieved the top score in the county, he is determined to share the credit with everyone.

Kids these days all love iPhones.

I'm confident that if I buy a phone and bring it to Zhou Ziyang, he won't refuse.

So he instructed the driver to go to the mall first.

The mall owner is a relative of Zhou Guowei.

Before the car even arrived, Zhou Guowei made a phone call to a relative.

The meaning is simple: do you still have any Apple phones in your store?
"Yes, bro, a batch just arrived."

"Get me one, I'll be at your store right away."

"Hey, good, brother, you bought your wife a gift again? Your wife is so lucky."

Zhou Guowei said, "No, your nephew got the highest score in the city in this mock exam, so I just wanted to give him a reward."

As Zhou Guowei said this, his back straightened involuntarily.

This is completely different from Xia Wei's previous performance of getting first place.

"Nephew?" The man thought for a long time before suddenly realizing, "Oh, you mean Ziyang?"

"Ok!"

"So impressive! No wonder he's your son, brother. Just like you, he'll be a prosecutor someday!" the man immediately flattered.

Actually, this made Zhou Guowei feel very comfortable. He said that his child could do whatever he wanted in the future, as long as he was willing.

"That is."

Soon, Zhou Guowei arrived at the mall.

I got a brand new gold iPhone 5s from a relative.

My relative said that kids these days like this.

Zhou Guowei asked how much it cost.

My relative said, "You can just take it. Ziyang did so well on the exam, so as his uncle, I should give him a gift."

Zhou Guowei told him to stop fooling around.

Then he took an envelope out of his clothes and placed it on the counter, saying that there was six thousand dollars in it.

"I've taken the phone."

After saying that, Zhou Guowei left.

Meanwhile, the relative stood behind holding the envelope, smiling wryly, and shouted at Zhou Guowei, "Brother, why are you being so polite with me?"

Zhou Guowei arrived at school at almost eleven o'clock.

Zhou Guowei didn't tell anyone; he just wanted to sneak behind the classroom window and get a good look at his son.

Unexpectedly, when I got to the back window of the classroom, it was right at the end of get out of class.

In the senior year of high school, even after class, students who have nothing to do will not go out casually.

So at this moment, in Class 1, only Zhou Ziyang's seat was empty.

All other seats are occupied.

Even Xia Wei, who was sitting in the front row, was unaware that Zhou Guowei was standing by the window at the back of the classroom.

Zhou Guowei watched for a long time.

I didn't see my son anywhere.

I couldn't help but be curious.

Just then, a male student came out to use the restroom.

When I passed by Zhou Guowei.

Zhou Guowei called out to him, "Young man, is Zhou Ziyang in your class?"

"?" The boy was curious about being approached by a stranger.

Judging from Zhou Guowei's appearance, he seems to be a school leader.

But he had never met anyone named Zhou Guowei.

"And you are?" the boy asked cautiously.

"Oh, I'm Zhou Ziyang's father from your class. I've come to see Ziyang."

"???"

Upon hearing this, the boy was stunned and stared at Zhou Guowei for a long time.

Finally, I couldn't help but exclaim, "Holy crap! Alive?!"

　My original plan was to go to university after writing 60,000 words.

　　As a result, I went through the plot again today.

　　I've discovered I have quite a lot of miscellaneous things to write.
