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

Chapter 65 A Quiet Summer Night

It was already 8:30 p.m. when they came out of the auditorium. Zhou Ziyang and the others hadn't showered or eaten yet, so the rest of the itinerary was a bit rushed.

First, we ate something simple at the cafeteria, then went back to the dormitory to get our toiletries. Under the dim moonlight, each of us carried a washbasin and headed towards the bathhouse behind dormitory A9.

The road leading to the bathhouse is a narrow path surrounded by a forest of dawn redwoods. The roadside lights are dim, and the chirping of crickets and grasshoppers can be heard from time to time in the dense forest.

Beyond the metasequoia forest lies the small river the teacher mentioned.

The river reflects the moonlight, flowing gently into the distance.

I ate with Shen Xin and her dormmates just now.

The two dorms talked about a lot of people, such as why there are three people in your dorm.
Shen Xin said that the fourth person is Wang Na.

“We asked her to come with us, but she said she was going to see her boyfriend.”

Upon hearing this, Zhou Ziyang and Zhang Dapeng both laughed, while Qi Tao looked somewhat embarrassed.

During the meal, Qi Tao asked to add Lin Siyao on WeChat.

Lin Siyao said, "Isn't there a QQ number in the group? You can just add it directly."

"I'm not really used to using QQ; I think WeChat is more suitable for communication," Qi Tao said shyly.

“Oh,” Lin Siyao said, “I don’t have WeChat, so it’s fine if you don’t want to add me.”

"Then let's add each other on QQ."

The two dormitories, though not very close, had a decent chat and established a basic friendship. During this time, Xia Wei didn't say much.

Zhang Dapeng could tell that Shen Xin was clearly interested in Zhou Ziyang, while Qi Tao was being so proactive with Lin Siyao.

Zhang Dapeng thought to himself that he was a gentleman who wouldn't take what belonged to someone else, so he simply took the initiative to chat with Xia Wei.

"Hey, Squad Leader Shen, why isn't this girl in your dorm talking? Is she introverted?" Zhang Dapeng asked with a smile.

Shen Xin glanced at Xia Wei, smiled, and said, "I'm not quite sure."

Xia Wei was not introverted; she just hadn't expected to end up sitting next to Zhou Ziyang again, which made her feel a little uncomfortable.

She doesn't feel the same way about Zhou Ziyang as she did in high school, but seeing how popular he is now still makes her a little depressed.

She finally took the initiative to ask Zhou Ziyang, "What is the name of your novel? I'd like to take a look."

For reasons unknown, Xia Wei concealed the fact that she knew Zhou Ziyang.

But Zhou Ziyang didn't hide anything at all, saying, "Didn't you know? That essay got a perfect score. What? You've forgotten?"

Hearing Zhou Ziyang say this, Shen Xin was taken aback for a moment, and asked curiously, "You two know each other?"

"Of course we know each other. We were in the same class. Xia Wei was our class's academic representative back then," Zhou Ziyang said with a smile.

This surprised everyone even more.

Seeing how naturally Zhou Ziyang spoke, Xia Wei didn't hold back either. She stared at Zhou Ziyang and said, "How come I didn't know you were so talented before?"

Zhou Ziyang chuckled: "It's a trivial matter, not worth mentioning to outsiders."

In this back-and-forth exchange, Shen Xin was initially quite proactive in her communication with Zhou Ziyang, after all, Zhou Ziyang was handsome, and she had seen him buy a house on his own before, as well as his current identity as a writer.

Any guy would want to take the initiative with a guy like that.

However, after learning that Zhou Ziyang and Xia Wei knew each other, she seemed a little slow to understand and confused about their relationship.

After Zhou Ziyang exposed their relationship, Xia Wei didn't pretend and started chatting with him about trivial matters. For example, she said that she had always heard Uncle Zhou say that he made a lot of money writing novels, but no one knew what kind of novels he wrote.

Zhou Ziyang said it's just not the right time yet.

After dinner, the two dormitories went back to their respective dormitories.

Lin Siyao had always maintained a cool and aloof persona in front of Qi Tao, but when it was time to part, she called out to Zhou Ziyang, "Hey, let's add each other on WeChat."

"Don't you not have WeChat?" Zhou Ziyang asked.

Lin Siyao rolled her eyes. Zhou Ziyang laughed and said, "I don't use WeChat much either."

"Just add me in the class group."

"Why don't you guys use WeChat?" Qi Tao said with a smile.

Then the boys went back to their dorms and, under the moonlight, filed into the bathhouse.

The summer night air hadn't yet dissipated, and we hadn't even entered the bathhouse yet.

I could smell the fragrance of Pantene shampoo.

At this time, Qi Tao and Zhang Dapeng had a lot of opinions about Zhou Ziyang.

It can't be called an opinion; it's more like envy and jealousy.

Qi Tao, in particular, said, "Old Zhou, you're too pretentious."

"They're all writers, yet they don't tell us anything, treating us like mere background characters."

"How was I supposed to know that Dean Su would give me so much face?"

Zhou Ziyang chuckled, and they each went into a separate cubicle to take a shower.

"Let me make this clear first, a man can't be too much of a jerk. You can only choose one. You've already added one girl's contact information, so you can't just try to catch them all, can you?" Qi Tao said while washing his hair.

"Yeah, Lao Zhou, I was thinking that since Shen Xin likes you, I should go after Xia Wei. But it turns out Xia Wei is in your class. What's your relationship with Xia Wei?" Zhang Dapeng also complained.

Zhou Ziyang said: We're just classmates!

“However, I still don’t recommend you pursue Xia Wei. Her mother doesn’t approve of you,” Zhou Ziyang said honestly.

However, Zhang Dapeng's expression was not good at this moment.

Qi Tao chuckled and said, "Old Zhou, that's too harsh."

Zhou Ziyang said, "I'm not trying to discourage you, it'll be the same if you go."

"Damn! My family is from Beijing, would we even look at her?" Qi Tao scoffed.

Using a meal card to shower costs five cents for thirty seconds.

They spent about 1.5 yuan on a shower. It's actually very simple for boys to take a shower; they just need to wash their hair and apply some shower gel.

Qi Tao means that you can pursue anyone you want.

"Just don't try to take Yao Yao from me."

"Did she agree to call you Yao Yao?" Zhou Ziyang asked.

"I don't care, I've already reserved Yao Yao!"

Zhang Dapeng said, "Brother Zhou, hurry up and decide on your target, leave one for me!"

"Don't talk like they all think they'd be interested in me." After saying that, Zhou Ziyang left the bathhouse first.

"Hey, wait for me!"

Seeing how quickly Zhou Ziyang was washing, Qi Tao hurriedly chased after him.

"Brother Tao, wait a moment."

"what?"

"Um, I forgot to buy soap, can I borrow yours for a moment?"

"Who uses soap anymore? Here, take this shower gel."
