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

Chapter 78 Holy crap! Old Zhou, you actually drive a BMW?!

Chapter 78 Holy crap! Old Zhou, you actually drive a BMW?! (1.4 words)
"Wow, they're really rich! They just throw in Starbucks."

While Zhang Dapeng sighed, Qi Tao was more concerned about the other party's outward behavior. He bought six Starbucks cups, which cost nearly two hundred yuan, and then immediately said that he would treat them to dinner in Toronto.

Zhang Dapeng asked Qi Tao, "What is Toronto?"
Qi Tao told Zhang Dapeng that Toronto is all about seafood buffets, and he used to go there often for high school reunions.

"A seafood buffet? I've never had a buffet before in my life!"

In 2015, there were one or two buffet restaurants in the small county town, with prices around 49 yuan. Zhang Dapeng was born in a rural town and had heard from his classmates that they had eaten there, but he had never actually tried it himself.

I thought to myself, "This big city is great; even buffets have seafood."

Qi Tao told Zhang Dapeng that there wasn't much good food.

They're all cheap seafood.

"I'm too lazy to even go over there, right, Lao Zhou?"

Qi Tao felt that Zhou Ziyang should have something in common with him in this regard.

Even Qi Tao is unwilling to eat at a buffet, so naturally someone like Zhou Ziyang is even less interested.

Zhang Dapeng had never been there before and wanted to see it for himself, so he said, "Hey, why not go if someone's treating? Wouldn't it be nice to get a free meal?"

"Look at your potential."

Qi Tao expressed his disdain for this.

The two were chatting when Xu Yiyang walked in.

The two immediately fell silent.

Xu Yiyang was as obedient as a younger brother in front of Li Chumei, but he was quite disdainful of Zhang Dapeng and Qi Tao, not even bothering to glance at them.

Especially Qi Tao.

I almost gave myself away because of him.

How can this guy sit there drinking Starbucks without feeling guilty?
They really have a nerve.

Xu Yiyang was extremely disdainful. He was a little nicer to Zhou Ziyang, but only slightly. He called out to Zhou Ziyang.

Zhou Ziyang looked at him with a puzzled expression.

"Thank you just now."

Zhou Ziyang didn't think much of what he heard.

The girl clearly understood what she was hearing.

Both sides are just pretending to understand when they're actually confused.

In the Yangtze River Delta region, most of the new generation of families are strong alliances, and then each goes their own way. Zhou Ziyang was just giving both of them a way out.

Xu Yiyang greeted Zhou Ziyang and then thought he would continue playing on his phone by the bedside.

At this moment, I saw the Starbucks that Li Chumei had just brought me.

He didn't want coffee at the moment, so after thinking for a moment, he handed it directly to Zhou Ziyang.

"You can have this one too."

Zhou Ziyang looked at the coffee that was handed to him, but did not take it. He said, "I don't drink coffee."

"This cup costs fifty-two yuan," Xu Yiyang said, handing it forward again.

Zhang Dapeng was stunned for a moment after hearing this.

Fifty-two for a cup of coffee?

Is this fucking robbery?
Zhou Ziyang stared at Xu Yiyang for a while.

Xu Yiyang felt a little embarrassed to look Zhou Ziyang in the eye.

Zhou Ziyang didn't go to get the coffee; instead, he went to the restroom.

Seeing that Zhou Ziyang didn't give him any face at all, Xu Yiyang couldn't help but feel a little annoyed, thinking to himself, "What's with the pretense?"

Then I looked at Qi Tao and Zhang Dapeng next to me.

Without thinking, Xu Yiyang handed the coffee to Zhang Dapeng.

"Here you go."

He shoved it directly into Zhang Dapeng's hand.

Zhang Dapeng grinned and said, "Thank you!"

Afterwards, Qi Tao said to Zhang Dapeng, somewhat speechless, "They're clearly looking down on you. How can you accept this?"
Zhang Dapeng didn't care. He said, "It's only 52 yuan a cup. It's neither dirty nor spoiled."

"I won't drink, it's a waste."

I'm speechless!

That day, Zhang Dapeng drank three cups of coffee. One of them was originally meant for Zhou Ziyang, but Zhou Ziyang didn't drink it, so Zhang Dapeng saved it for the evening.

He said: To be honest, I wasn't used to it at first.

Later, after drinking more, I found it quite flavorful.

Qi Tao said: You can savor it slowly tonight!

Nothing particularly noteworthy happened during the afternoon military training; the sun remained blazing.

The freshmen, who had been cooped up at home for two months, are starting to see their skin gradually darken from today.

The September sun is truly scorching.

Qi Tao felt that the instructor was deliberately targeting him.

No one else received special attention, but I was the only one whose name was called twice by the instructor.

The team was standing in a good position.

The instructor deliberately called Qi Tao out.

"what's your name?"

"Qi Tao? Where did you learn to stand at attention like that? Is this how you stand at attention at home?"

"stand at attention!"

"You stay here and keep standing. Everyone else, rest where you are!"

"?"

Qi Tao was stunned, and looked angrily at the instructor who was not even as tall as him.

This is obviously targeting me!
Damn it, it must be revenge for what I did this morning.

Thinking of this, Qi Tao couldn't help but give the instructor a resentful look.

"What kind of look is that?!" the instructor asked, glaring at him.

"No."

"Say it again?"

"Report to the instructor! No!"

"Just say it! I hate sissies like you!"

The instructor scoffed dismissively and then led the others to continue training.

Qi Tao stood alone in the sun for a long time, maintaining his military posture. He could be seen by the nearby military training teams.

Shen Xin said that Qi Tao was being targeted because of Lin Siyao.

But Lin Siyao said it was none of her business.
"This can only be blamed on his show-off nature and their instructor's stubbornness. We're not related, Shen Xin. Why do you like to label people so much?"

"Huh?" Shen Xin was taken aback.

Qi Tao became a hero because of what happened that morning.

However, some people were gloating, such as Zhang Wei from the second architecture class.

The military training instructors needed a squad leader. In principle, one of the squad leaders should be selected from the two classes. However, it was not yet confirmed whether Zhou Ziyang would be the squad leader for Class One.

Therefore, during the afternoon training, Zhang Wei actively responded to the instructors' commands and led the class in training.

When the instructor asked him with satisfaction what his name was?
He stood ramrod straight: "Reporting, Instructor! My name is Zhang Wei!"

"Ah."

The sun gradually sets in the west.

By six o'clock, the sun had already set far on the horizon, and the sky had darkened.

The instructors gathered the students together.

Qi Tao has returned to the team.

Zhang Dapeng grinned and asked, "Brother Tao, are you alright?"

Qi Tao kept his eyes fixed on the instructor giving instructions, muttering to himself, "Damn it, what a scoundrel."

"How can someone like that be an instructor?"

"Qi Tao! Step forward!"

Just as Qi Tao was whispering to the cricket instructor.

At this moment, the instructor suddenly called out to Qi Tao.

This startled Qi Tao, who reflexively stood at attention and stepped out of line.

But the instructor said expressionlessly, "Everyone, assemble here at eight o'clock tomorrow."

"During military training, Qi Tao, you will serve as our company's squad leader!"

"Huh?" Qi Tao was taken aback.

"Any comments?"

"No no!"

"Shout out a report!"

"Reporting, Instructor! No objections!" Qi Tao suddenly stood at attention and shouted loudly.

Originally, Qi Tao had quite a few complaints about the instructors. When he was standing at attention in the afternoon, he cursed the instructors in his heart quite a bit.

However, after learning that the instructor had made him the squad leader, Qi Tao was actually quite moved. In the subsequent training, he worked harder than anyone else, and he was more proactive than anyone else in doing what the instructor asked him to do.

Zhang Wei from Class Two couldn't stand Qi Tao's behavior and cursed him inwardly as a lackey.

Qi Tao, however, was unimpressed and scoffed, "You want to be a lackey? You're not even qualified!"

Military training passed by day after day.

Endless military-style boxing practice, endless scorching sun.

For the first few days, the instructor was very difficult to get along with. He always had a stern face and acted as if everyone owed him eight million dollars.

But after getting to know them better, I discovered that these dark-skinned instructors also have a cute side, and you'll laugh when you chat with them about something interesting.

It turns out they also play online games, including CrossFire (CF) Dungeon Fighter Online.

Now that they had found common ground, they had more to talk about.

When it came to playing video games, the instructor looked helpless.

He joked that if he hadn't played too many video games, he wouldn't be here as an instructor!

"Hey! You can't say that. You might regret joining the army for two years, but you'll regret not joining for a lifetime! I really want to join the army right now!"

Qi Tao, who was originally at odds with the instructors, never expected that he would become the one who got along best with them.

The instructor looked at his small frame and said with a sneer, "With a build like yours, it's a good thing you didn't join the army!"

"Instructor, why are you underestimating me!"

Qi Tao was unconvinced.

During breaks in military training, everyone else just sat on the grass to rest.

Qi Tao, however, simply sat down next to the instructor and chatted with him.

He asked the instructor if he smoked.
The instructor asked him, "What, do you have one?"

"hey-hey."

Qi Tao presented the Xuanhemen as if it were a treasure.

The instructor's eyes lit up and he said, "Good lad, I didn't know you smoked such good cigarettes."

"Hey! What's so special about this!"

"I only smoke Xuanhemen cigarettes! I will only love one person in my life!"

Qi Tao said playfully.

"strong!"

Qi Tao asked the instructor if he wanted one.

The instructor waved his hand, saying that they couldn't be seen.

Qi Tao immediately said he understood.

Throughout his university life, Qi Tao felt that the happiest time was during military training. At that time, he had the best relationship with the instructors, and he felt that all the boys in the class envied him.

The sun sets in the west at dusk.

After a day of training, Zhang Dapeng watched Qi Tao pull a Xuanhemen cigarette out of his suitcase. He was puzzled, but still said, "Brother Tao, I need to take a shower. Where are you going?"

"You go first, I've made plans with our instructor to go to his dorm."

Zhang Dapeng found this strange and said, "Brother Tao, didn't you say you hated those soldiers the most?"

"Who said that? Dapeng, how can you say that? Our instructors are protecting our country! If it weren't for their blood and sweat on the front lines, we wouldn't have the wonderful life we have now!"

As Qi Tao spoke, he excitedly ran outside, clutching the Xuanhemen token.

Every day after military training, he would run to the instructors' dormitory.

In Qi Tao's view, being able to get along well with the instructors is something to be proud of.

The instructors also had a good impression of this young boy who was very talented.

Qi Tao spent his days smoking with the instructors in their dormitory, and the instructors would talk to him about life in the army, which Qi Tao longed for.

A group of men gathered together, and their conversations revolved around astronomy, geography, politics, and history; the rest of the conversations were about women.

Especially a group of seasoned veterans and a young boy.

He noticed that this young man was bringing him cigarettes every day.

The instructors jokingly asked him.

"Hey! Tell me, have you ever been with a woman?"

"Huh?" Qi Tao's face turned red immediately upon hearing this.

Seeing Qi Tao blush, the instructors laughed even harder.

One of the instructors came out and explained, "They're just asking if you've ever had a girlfriend."

"No, no," Qi Tao stammered.

The instructor said, "That won't do!"

"There are so many girls at your school, how can you not have a few more when you go to college?"

In fact, these instructors were only around twenty years old, but because of years of training, they looked much older than Qi Tao. They probably saw more women in a year than Qi Tao saw in a day.

But when they talked about women, Qi Tao felt that they were seasoned veterans.

They told Qi Tao that pursuing a woman was like trying to soak a piece of wood in water.

"You have to get her hooked up!"

"Chasing girls! Chasing girls!"

"If it doesn't steep, just keep adding water!"

In fact, Qi Tao did not understand the example given by the instructor.

But listening to one instructor after another boasting about their achievements, like having dated ten or eight girlfriends, or even meeting people they met online, was unbearable.

As he listened, Qi Tao was moved.

The instructor told Qi Tao not to be afraid of losing face!
"To win a girl's heart, you have to be persistent and relentless!"

"You bring her breakfast every day, making her dependent on you. Then one day you stop bringing her breakfast, and she'll suddenly miss you and come looking for you on her own!"

Qi Tao thought it made a lot of sense.

In fact, he hadn't contacted Lin Siyao for three days.

Every time he wanted to find Lin Siyao, he would remember the time when Lin Siyao asked him for a Dyson hair dryer.

This matter weighed heavily on Qi Tao's heart like a mountain.

It wasn't until this conversation with the instructor that Qi Tao finally understood!
So that night, he tossed and turned in bed, and gritted his teeth.

He spent 599 yuan on a bladeless hair dryer, which was basically the same as a Dyson except that the brand wasn't Dyson.

After the military training ended on the second day, Qi Tao excitedly ran to the bathhouse and took a shower.

Holding a freshly unpacked hair dryer, I waited at the entrance of the girls' dormitory.

The evenings in September still have a hint of summer.

The camphor trees at the entrance of the girls' dormitory are lush and green.

The air was filled with the fragrance of osmanthus.

At this time, most girls go out to eat with their roommates.

Or perhaps she's chatting and laughing with her boyfriend outside the dorm.

At this moment, Lin Siyao and Shen Xin had just returned from having lunch in the cafeteria.

When military training ended, she took a shower in her dormitory and changed into a new outfit: a red tank top that revealed her perfect shoulders and slender waist.

She wore a pair of dark blue denim shorts, and her slender, long legs were shapely and long, which looked even more beautiful against the backdrop of black knee-high socks.

Her hair was still a little damp because she had just taken a shower.

She tied her thick, long hair together with a hair tie and then placed it on one shoulder.

Just now, while I was eating in the cafeteria, another boy asked Lin Siyao for her WeChat.

This girl seems to have a unique charm.

Wherever she goes, she attracts the attention of boys.

It hasn't even been a week since school started, yet six or seven boys have already asked Lin Siyao for her WeChat.

Even Shen Xin, who was standing next to her, was a little envious.

Lin Siyao, however, had absolutely no interest in these boys.

Shen Xin was very curious and said that the boy who asked her for her WeChat today was quite good-looking.

"Didn't you say you wanted to be in a relationship too? At least give someone a chance!"

Lin Siyao scoffed at these words.

She said, "His phone isn't even an Apple, it's pointless."

"???" Shen Xin was genuinely stunned by these words.

She said what's wrong with not using an Apple phone?

"My phone isn't an Apple either."

Lin Siyao said that the brand of the phone is not important.

"But it's destined to be incompatible with me."

Shen Xin felt that Lin Siyao was too materialistic, but she didn't dare to say anything.

Because Lin Siyao has her own set of principles for doing things.

If you say you're interfering too much.

Lin Siyao would definitely retort.

"Siyao!"

Just as Shen Xin and Lin Siyao were walking towards the girls' dormitory.

At that moment, someone suddenly called Lin Siyao's name.

Lin Siyao turned around, puzzled.

But it turned out to be Qi Tao holding a box.

Lin Siyao asked Qi Tao, "Is there something you need?"

Qi Tao smiled at Lin Siyao: "Siyao! This is a gift for you!"

"?"

Lin Siyao looked at the box that was handed to her and couldn't help but feel curious.

I wondered if this guy had actually bought himself a Dyson?

Lin Siyao accepted the box from Qi Tao with a blank expression.

She opened the box right in front of Qi Tao.

When the box was opened, revealing a hair dryer that looked almost identical to a Dyson, and then discovered that it wasn't a Dyson brand, a look of speechlessness flashed across Lin Siyao's eyes.

Qi Tao, however, looked quite proud when Lin Siyao opened the box.

After Lin Siyao finished opening the box, Qi Tao looked on with an expression that seemed to say: "How about that? I'm pretty good, right? You should praise me!"
Looking at the gifts in the box, and then at Qi Tao's smug expression.

Lin Siyao said, "Thank you for the gift, I like it very much."

"Haha! I knew you'd like it! I spent so long choosing this hair dryer, it cost me 599 yuan!"

Lin Siyao nodded: "Yes, thank you."

Seeing that Lin Siyao had accepted the gift, Qi Tao thought he had already succeeded halfway and immediately said shyly, "Siyao, can I take you to the movies this Friday?"

"I've heard that the recently released movie, 'Goodbye Mr. Loser,' is very good."

"Hmm, I'll think about it."

"Okay! I'll wait for your reply!" Qi Tao was even happier.

He came and went in a hurry.

After Lin Siyao accepted the gift, Qi Tao left excitedly.

As he was leaving, he kept waving to Lin Siyao.

After running quite a distance, I turned around and headed towards the boys' dormitory!

He thought happily:
The instructor was right after all!

It turns out that as long as you're thick-skinned, you really do have a chance!
Haha!

My buddy's about to find a girlfriend!
When Qi Tao ran to the dormitory, Zhang Dapeng was playing games on his phone.

Zhou Ziyang, meanwhile, was writing a novel on his Macbook.

It was already dark.

The dormitory was unusually peaceful.

But then Qi Tao rushed in excitedly.

He was a little out of breath because he had run too fast.

There was a freshly opened can of iced cola next to Zhang Dapeng.

Without thinking, Qi Tao grabbed it and started gulping it down.

"Damn, Brother Tao! I haven't even had a few sips yet!"

Zhang Dapeng immediately became anxious upon seeing this.

But now he's going to rob it.

But it was already too late.

He could only watch helplessly as Qi Tao finished his entire iced cola.

"Burp~" After finishing his drink, Qi Tao let out a satisfied burp.
He looked at Zhang Dapeng and Zhou Ziyang again.

He excitedly exclaimed, "Guys! I'm going to find a girlfriend!"

"Huh?" Zhang Dapeng asked, puzzled.

He then vividly recounted what had just happened to Zhang Dapeng and Zhou Ziyang.

Upon hearing this, Zhang Dapeng was taken aback.

"No, 599? Brother Tao, you really have money to burn!"

"That's not the point! The point is that she accepted it, which means she wants to be my girlfriend!" Qi Tao said.

Zhang Dapeng didn't believe it. He said, "What if she turns her back on you? Wouldn't you have lost 599 for nothing?"

"Impossible, Yao Yao isn't that kind of person!"

Qi Tao was very certain.

Zhang Dapeng curled his lip, thinking to himself that Qi Tao was really stupid. With 600 yuan, he would have been better off buying a few more packs of cigarettes.

"I can't explain it to you!"

Qi Tao felt that someone like Zhang Dapeng, who worried about daily necessities every day, could not possibly understand him.

"Old Zhou! Looks like I'll be the first to find a partner! Hehe!"

Qi Tao was extremely proud when he said this.

Over the past three days, Zhou Ziyang and Jiang Menghan have made very good progress.

Although it was Zhou Ziyang who took the initiative to ask for Jiang Menghan's contact information.

However, Zhou Ziyang's modeling skills are good.

In addition, his status as a writer adds to his appeal.

Jiang Menghan is very willing to be friends with Zhou Ziyang.

The two have not yet confirmed that they are dating, nor have they engaged in any excessive physical contact.

But in the evenings, we would meet up and stroll around the playground.

Or we could go to the cafeteria together and have a bowl of duck blood vermicelli soup.

On several occasions, Qi Tao and Zhang Dapeng saw Zhou Ziyang and Jiang Menghan walking together.

At the time, Jiang Menghan was wearing a pink top paired with a white pleated skirt.

Her calves were still wrapped in white cotton socks.

This simple outfit is surprisingly eye-catching.

Qi Tao, whom they encountered at the time, was extremely jealous.

He thought to himself that Xu Yiyang was rich, so it was understandable that he had women on both sides.

The problem is, Old Zhou's family isn't even as well-off as mine.
Why are you surrounded by women on both sides?

No, I need to hurry!

"Old Zhou, how far have things progressed between you and Jiang Menghan?"

Qi Tao asked Zhou Ziyang in a boastful manner.

Zhou Ziyang said, "There's no development, we're just ordinary friends."

"You must be kidding me! You eat together every day, how could you be just ordinary friends!" Qi Tao refused to believe it no matter what.

Zhou Ziyang was speechless when he heard this. He said, "Do ordinary friends just eat together?"

"Didn't you say anything about holding hands or anything like that when you were taking a walk?" Qi Tao made a gesture.

Zhou Ziyang shook his head.

It's not that he didn't want to, but rather that the time wasn't right.

A girl like Jiang Menghan is clearly cautious; if you rush things, you'll only end up losing more than you gain.

To be honest, Zhou Ziyang actually enjoys this kind of life quite a bit.

He went back to university and got the contact information of a girl whose temperament and manners were all above nine points, and the two of them developed a very good relationship.

As for what will happen next, who can say for sure?

“That won’t do, Lao Zhou, you need to be more proactive.”

Qi Tao hoped to be able to teach Zhou Ziyang.

However, Zhou Ziyang's behavior remained very Zen.

This made Qi Tao feel frustrated and disappointed.

He said, "Don't blame me for not reminding you. Sigh, I thought you'd be the first one to find a partner, but I've actually gotten there first, haha!"

Zhou Ziyang said, "Love bought with money cannot last."

"Come on! For Yao Yao, I'd spend any amount of money and it would be worth it!" Qi Tao thought Zhou Ziyang was just jealous.

Lin Siyao looked at the useless hair dryer she had bought for 599 yuan.

I couldn't help but sigh.

"Why are you sighing? Isn't it good that someone bought you a gift?" Shen Xin said with a smile.

Lin Siyao pushed the hair dryer next to Shen Xin: "You like it so much, I'll sell it to you for five hundred yuan?"

“I don’t want it. That was given to you by Qi Tao. How can you give it to someone else?” Shen Xin said.

Lin Siyao pouted and said, "If it's given to me, it's mine. I can do whatever I want with it, it doesn't matter."

Shen Xin disagreed with these words.

In the first few days of school, Shen Xin and Lin Siyao were still getting along well.

It's about differing opinions on certain things.

It seems a little different.

Shen Xin thought about it and decided that she should express her thoughts.

She asked Lin Siyao if she wasn't interested in Qi Tao.

Lin Siyao found this laughable and said, "You're interested in him? If so, I'll give him to you."

"I don't want it."

Shen Xin quickly shook her head.

They chatted as they walked back to their dorm.

Shen Xin asked Lin Siyao what kind of girl she liked.
Lin Siyao thought for a moment and said she liked rich men.

Wang Na, who was in the dormitory, didn't find this funny.

She said, "At our age, how many of us are rich?"

"So I never planned to look for one at school."

Lin Siyao leaned against the table, which was about 70 centimeters high.

Lin Siyao's long legs, however, reached just to the edge of the table.

Shen Xin asked, puzzled, "Why do you have this idea?"

"I believe that love should not be measured by money."

Shen Xin told Lin Siyao that if Lin Siyao wasn't interested in Qi Tao, she should make things clear to him as soon as possible.

“This hair dryer isn’t cheap either. If you’re not going to agree to his proposal, you shouldn’t accept his gift. Otherwise, it will give him the wrong impression,” Shen Xin said seriously.

Lin Siyao said, "Then I won't."

"?"

Lin Siyao said, "I don't like him, but I accept the gifts he gives me."

"I want any more gifts he gives me in the future."

"You!" Shen Xin was speechless for a moment.

I want to say something else.

But Lin Siyao ignored her.

She unpacked the box and tried out the hair dryer.

I found that apart from the brand not being Dyson, everything else was pretty good.

Just in time, Lin Siyao needed a hair dryer. She'll use this one for now.

After Lin Siyao tidied up the hair dryer.

Find Qi Tao's chat box.

"Thank you for the gift."

【Transfer 599】

Qi Tao was so excited when he saw that Lin Siyao had taken the initiative to send him a message that he almost jumped up.

But when he saw the content...

But it didn't make me happy.

"Siyao, what do you mean?"

"Since it's a gift for you, it's yours. How could I possibly take your money back? I can't take your money!"

After saying this, Qi Tao returned the money.

Lin Siyao stared at the money that had been returned.

She edited the message to say:

I don't want to waste time talking nonsense.

I'm not interested in you.

The hair dryer is nice, I'll take it.

I'll transfer the money again.

"You can take it or not."

After saying this, Lin Siyao transferred 599 to Qi Tao again.

This time, Qi Tao didn't say anything, and Lin Siyao ignored him, thinking that Qi Tao would definitely order something later.

But to everyone's surprise, a day later, with the transfer about to expire, Qi Tao still showed no intention of clicking it.

This put Lin Siyao in a dilemma; she didn't want to accept Qi Tao's favor for no reason.

So, with ten minutes left before the transfer expired, Lin Siyao took the initiative to contact Qi Tao.

"?"

(Grinning)

Lin Siyao said, "Take the money back. I really have no feelings for you. We're not a good match."

“What I want is Dyson, not just any hairdryer that looks exactly the same. It has to be Dyson, even if the functions are the same, the brand is different.”

"I know."

Qi Tao said, "Siyao, I know you don't like me, and I never thought about becoming your boyfriend right away. I just want to be your friend."

"Think about it, in the whole school, there are probably only two of us from Beijing, and we don't have many friends around us. Why can't we keep each other company? Don't worry, we'll just be friends. I will never have any ulterior motives."

"You're usually busy, so it would be nice if you asked me to pick up a package for you or something (facepalm)"

Lin Siyao looked at the message sent by Qi Tao.

For a moment, I felt powerless.

"Since you've put it that way, then so be it."

Lin Siyao didn't want to get entangled with Qi Tao anymore. She had already transferred the money to him, so what could she do if he didn't want it?

Anyway, I've done everything I was supposed to do.

"Mmm (grinning)"

Seeing that Lin Siyao was no longer insisting that he accept the transfer, Qi Tao breathed a sigh of relief.

I thought to myself that what the instructor said was actually useful!
To win a girl's heart, you have to be persistent and relentless.

Make friends first! Then gradually delve deeper into her social circle.

"By the way, Siyao, are you free this Friday? Can we go to the movies together? (covers face)" After a while, seeing that Lin Siyao didn't say anything, Qi Tao decided to take the initiative.

"No time."

"Don't misunderstand, Siyao (covers face)"

"It was just a regular movie screening. It wasn't just the two of us; Zhou Ziyang from my dorm also went with his girlfriend (facepalm)."

"Zhou Ziyang has a girlfriend?" Lin Siyao asked, intrigued.

You should know that two girls in the dormitory almost got into a fight because of this boy, Zhou Ziyang.

Now Qi Tao has actually told Lin Siyao that he has a girlfriend?

"Yeah! We just started dating recently, and they're going to see 'Goodbye Mr. Loser,' so I thought, since I don't have anything else to do, why don't we go together? I heard it's a pretty good movie!"

Lin Siyao thought about it for a moment. To be honest, if it were just Qi Tao inviting Lin Siyao to the movies, Lin Siyao definitely wouldn't go. But now that Qi Tao said Zhou Ziyang and his girlfriend would also be going, it meant that this wasn't just a simple date between the two of them.

Moreover, she really wanted to see what Zhou Ziyang's girlfriend was really like.

How beautiful must she be? To make Zhou Ziyang disregard the two beauties in his dorm.

"Alright, I'll go, but I have one condition."

"You said you'd grant me ten requests as long as I went (cool!)"

"[Transfer 599]"

"Take the money and I'll go."

When Qi Tao saw this message, he was both amused and exasperated, thinking, "It's only 599 yuan, why are you so conflicted?"

Lin Siyao is such a good girl.

So Qi Tao edited the message, thinking about how to get Lin Siyao to accept the six hundred yuan.

I ended up editing the message for ages.

But then Lin Siyao sent a message: "If you don't accept it, I won't go. Let's delete each other."

"Don't!"

Upon seeing the double delete option, Qi Tao clicked the transfer button without hesitation.

Seeing that Qi Tao had accepted the money, Lin Siyao breathed a sigh of relief.

She is greedy for money, but for poor students like Qi Tao.

She doesn't want it.

After making an appointment with Lin Siyao, Qi Tao happily bragged about it in the dormitory and asked Zhou Ziyang when they were going to see a movie.
Zhou Ziyang said, "I finally managed to ask a girl to go to the movies, and you're going to bring a third wheel?"

"Then what's the point of me watching this movie?"

Qi Tao clasped his hands together and said, "Old Zhou! Just consider it helping out your brother, okay?"

"Your relationship with Jiang Menghan is a done deal, but my relationship with Siyao is still far from over. You don't want to see your brother all alone, do you?"

Zhou Ziyang said, "So what if you're lonely?"

“Dapeng is all alone too, and he didn’t say anything.”

"Yeah, Brother Tao, you really think about women that much? What's so great about women?" Zhang Dapeng said while eating instant noodles and watching a movie.

"Oh dear! This is different!"

Qi Tao said, "Old Zhou, just consider it helping out your brother!"

"Okay, you two go to the movies, I'll pay for the tickets!"

"That's it?"

"Popcorn, cola, I'll give you all of it, is that alright?" Qi Tao gritted his teeth and continued.

Upon hearing this good news, Zhang Dapeng quickly came over: "Hey, Brother Tao, can you take me with you?"

"Go eat your instant noodles, Lao Zhou! Help me out!" Qi Tao said sincerely.

Zhou Ziyang sighed and said, "Okay then."

Seeing that Zhou Ziyang was all set, Qi Tao finally breathed a long sigh of relief. In his words, everything was ready except for the final push!

Meanwhile, Zhou Ziyang sent a message to Jiang Menghan on his phone.

"Want to go to the movies together this Friday?"

In the few days since the start of the semester, Zhou Ziyang and Jiang Menghan have chatted and even met up for meals, but their relationship hasn't made any real progress.

Girls like Jiang Menghan are definitely not short of suitors.

Zhou Ziyang was good-looking and had the aura of being a writer, which made Jiang Menghan willing to spend time with him.

But when it comes to dating...

It seems the road ahead is long and arduous.

"Sure! I happen to be free that day."

"I've heard there's a movie called 'Goodbye Mr. Loser' that's pretty good."

Jiang Menghan was as enthusiastic as ever about the chat initiated by Zhou Ziyang.

Zhou Ziyang said: Okay, I'll pick you up at the dormitory entrance on Friday night.

"Um, let's just meet at the school gate. I feel like it wouldn't look good if we were seen at the dormitory entrance (facepalm)," Jiang Menghan said.

"I'll drive to pick you up."

"you drive?"

"Well, if you want to walk all the way to the school gate, I have no objection."

"no."

Upon hearing Zhou Ziyang's words, Jiang Menghan blushed instantly, unsure of what to say.

When I heard Zhou Ziyang say he was coming to pick me up at the dorm entrance, my immediate thought was that the dorm entrance was a mixed bag of people, and if any classmates I knew saw me there, they would definitely spread rumors.

She and Zhou Ziyang are currently only in the contact stage.

It's not like we have to be together in the future...
But I heard that Zhou Ziyang drove here.

And they have to walk to the school gate themselves.

Jiang Menghan was somewhat unwilling again.

She held her phone and edited a message for quite a while.

But she didn't know how to reply to Zhou Ziyang.

After a long pause, he finally asked, "Your car should have an outside license plate."

"Can I get into the school?"

Looking at the message sent by Jiang Menghan.

Zhou Ziyang replied: Yes, you can.

"Then come pick me up."

Saying those words took a lot of courage for Jiang Menghan.

"Ah."

Time flies, and a week of military training has already passed. Today is Friday.

When training first started, the instructors said that there would be six days of training a week, with Saturday being the students' Sunday.

So on Friday, the day of military training, the students were unusually restless.

I've been in Nanjing for a week and haven't had a proper chance to explore the surrounding area yet.

Now, a week has passed, and the roommates who were once strangers have become as familiar as brothers and sisters who have known each other for years. They talk about everything at night and have already planned to go out and have some fun on Friday.

Take a stroll through the night market near the school and choose a self-service barbecue restaurant with items priced at 49 or 59 yuan.

The bustling city of Nanjing was a place of extravagance and decadence.

As dusk settled, groups of young men and women began walking out of the school gate.

The bus stop at the entrance was packed with people.

Every time a bus arrives, it carries away a huge number of passengers.

"Menghan? How about we go for a hot pot buffet tonight?" Jiang Menghan's roommate, Sun Juan, suggested.

They just finalized their decision.

It's a rare weekend, but staying in the dorm seems a bit too boring.

They are only talking to Jiang Menghan now.

It seems a bit too late.
Jiang Menghan was a little embarrassed and said, "Um, it doesn't seem like it's possible tonight."

Zhou Ziyang and I made plans to go to the movies together.

"Who is Zhou Ziyang?" My roommate, who was putting on makeup over there, seemed quite unfamiliar with the name Zhou Ziyang.

"It's that writer who asked for contact information!" Sun Juan had a strong impression of Zhou Ziyang's name.

"Oh, it's him!"

Roommate Huang Xinyi only remembered after hearing Sun Juan's description.

Somewhat disappointed, she said, "Sigh, are you really going to abandon your lovely roommate for a man? This is our dorm's first get-together."

"I"

Huang Xinyi's words made Jiang Menghan even more embarrassed.

She said, "I made an appointment with him, I can't stand him up again, can I?"

Huang Xinyi pouted: "So what if we made a promise?"

"Isn't it perfectly normal for a girl to stand a boy up?"

"Is a man more important or a friend?"

I, Jiang Menghan, was genuinely hesitant.

After thinking about it for a moment, she firmly shook her head and said, "If you promise someone something, you have to keep it!"

Seeing that Jiang Menghan kept saying this, Huang Xinyi didn't say anything more, but secretly labeled Jiang Menghan as a love-obsessed person.

Jiang Menghan has four girls in her dorm, and they all look quite pretty when they dress up.

Actually, Sun Juan, who doesn't have a very good natural appearance, looks like a completely different person after she puts on makeup.

Huang Xinyi, on the other hand, wore a dark red bodycon dress, instantly transforming from an innocent college girl into a mature young mother, and she walked in high heels with great skill.

However, Huang Xinyi couldn't help but complain as she went down the stairs.

"When I look for a boyfriend in the future, I definitely want one who owns a car!"

"It takes ten minutes to walk from the dormitory to the school gate!"

"Wearing high heels is really inconvenient!"

Thinking about this, Huang Xinyi gritted her teeth in anger.

Upon hearing this, Sun Juan giggled happily.

She said, "Even if your boyfriend bought a car, he can't drive it to school!"

Nanjing University has very strict regulations on vehicles from outside the university; students are not allowed to drive to the university unless they are faculty or staff.

It's important to know that there are nearly 30,000 students at Nanjing University, and a significant number of them are wealthy.

If just anyone could drive into the school, then there would be no shortage of rich kids causing a ruckus everywhere.

While they were chatting, the four girls left the girls' dormitory.

Huang Xinyi happened to see a black BMW parked quietly under the streetlights directly in front of the girls' dormitory.

The 2015 luxury version of the BMW 3 Series is quite stylish, at least it's good enough for the girls' dormitory area.

It started when Zhou Ziyang drove the car to the school.

The gate railings automatically raised.

Then Zhou Ziyang, familiar with the route, crossed the sycamore-lined avenue and quietly stopped downstairs in front of the girls' dormitory.

During this process, countless boys and girls turned around and glanced at each other.

One male student even said, "I don't ask for much. I'll be content if I can drive a car like this after graduation."

When Zhou Ziyang parked downstairs at the girls' dormitory building.

One of the girls even whispered, "Whose car is this? Why is it parked here?"

"I don't know, it must be one of the teachers' cars, right?"

Just then, Huang Mengyi came downstairs and heard Sun Juan's mocking words.

Then I saw the BMW 3 Series parked quietly in front of me.

Sun Juan gritted her teeth and said, "Then I'll find a boyfriend who can drive his car here."

"Haha, then you'll have to find an older man!" Sun Juan laughed heartily. In her mind, someone who drives a BMW, Mercedes-Benz, or Audi must be a middle-aged man in his thirties.

As they were talking, they approached the BMW 3 Series.

The BMW 3 Series suddenly made a sound.

beep.

The sound was quite loud, startling the four girls.

At this moment, the driver's side door opened.

But then Zhou Ziyang got out of the car.

Look at Jiang Menghan, who is standing there dumbfounded among the four girls.

Zhou Ziyang called out curiously, "Jiang Menghan?"

Upon seeing Zhou Ziyang, Jiang Menghan couldn't describe her feelings. Was it surprise? Happiness?
In short, no words can describe it.

At that moment, Jiang Menghan thought Zhou Ziyang was incredibly handsome!
She happily ran over and grabbed Zhou Ziyang's arm, asking in a sweet voice, "When did you arrive? Why didn't you text me?"

Zhou Ziyang said, "Didn't we agree on seven o'clock?"
“You should have messaged me earlier!” Jiang Menghan said.

"Menghan!"

At this moment, Huang Xinyi called out to Jiang Menghan, but her eyes never left Zhou Ziyang.

To be honest, Sun Juan kept talking in the dorm about how outstanding the guy who asked Jiang Menghan for her WeChat was—handsome, a writer, and so on.

Huang Xinyi didn't feel anything at all.

Until I saw Zhou Ziyang in person.

Of course, there's also the BMW next to Zhou Ziyang.
At this moment, Huang Xinyi could only feel regret.

I went out with Sun Juan at that time.
Why not yourself?
"Menghan, aren't you going to introduce her?" Huang Xinyi's eyes were like hooks as she stared at Zhou Ziyang.

"Oh right. And this is..."

Jiang Menghan thought about introducing Zhou Ziyang.

However, when it came to introducing Zhou Ziyang's identity, he didn't know what to say for a moment.

Zhou Ziyang noticed her hesitation and said generously, "Hello, my name is Zhou Ziyang, and I am Menghan's friend."

"Oh~"

Sun Juan was a perfect straight man, stirring things up on the other side.

Upon hearing this introduction, Huang Xinyi burst out laughing and said, "Just friends?"

Zhou Ziyang said that they are indeed just friends now.

"We'll have to see what Menghan thinks in the future."

As he spoke, Zhou Ziyang looked at Jiang Menghan.

Jiang Menghan pouted, seemingly a little unhappy.

At this point, if Zhou Ziyang had even a little bit of emotional intelligence...

He simply said that he was Jiang Menghan's boyfriend.

Jiang Menghan will not be unhappy at all.

And she'll blush and feel shy.

But surprisingly, Zhou Ziyang claimed they were friends.

This wouldn't make anyone happy.

Moreover, Huang Xinyi's way of chatting clearly showed that she was trying to seduce Zhou Ziyang.

Unfortunately, Zhou Ziyang lacks emotional intelligence.

Zhou Ziyang asked Jiang Menghan where they planned to go.

Are you all planning to watch a movie?

Zhou Ziyang thought to himself, if everyone's going to see a movie, I'll just slip away.

No matter how beautiful you are.

Huang Xinyi really wanted to go to the movies with Zhou Ziyang at this moment. She had already come up with a reason: she would help Jiang Menghan test Zhou Ziyang.

She hasn't spoken yet.

Jiang Menghan immediately refused: "No, they went out to eat at a buffet. They asked me to go with them, but I didn't go."

When Jiang Menghan said this, it was as if she wanted to be praised.

Zhou Ziyang smiled upon hearing this and said, "Oh, is that so?"

After exchanging greetings, Zhou Ziyang opened the car door, intending to take Jiang Menghan away first.

Zhou Ziyang's BMW 3 Series looks brand new; you can smell a fresh leather scent when you open the door.

Previously, when Jiang Menghan and her friends were chatting in the dormitory, they said that Zhou Ziyang was a writer, but it was uncertain how much money he could make.

Now they know that Zhou Ziyang is not only good at making money, but very good at it.
Young and accomplished, driving a BMW?

Keep in mind, Zhou Ziyang is only eighteen years old.

He watched as Zhou Ziyang picked up Jiang Menghan right in front of him.

Huang Xinyi was still wearing those cool, stiletto heels, thinking about how to walk from here to the school gate.

Without thinking, Huang Xinyi called out to Zhou Ziyang.

"Zhou Ziyang!"

"Could you please take us to the school gate? I'm wearing high heels, and it's really inconvenient for me."

As she spoke, Huang Xinyi showed Zhou Ziyang her small feet.

Zhou Ziyang said, "Of course, no problem."

So Jiang Menghan sat in the passenger seat of Zhou Ziyang's car. Her outfit was somewhat like a JK uniform, with a coffee-colored pleated skirt that made her legs look especially fair and tender. She wore black mid-calf socks and small leather shoes.

She sat with her beautiful legs together in the passenger seat, looking quite elegant.

Zhou Ziyang felt a surge of emotion, finally able to enjoy the life of driving and touching legs.

It's a pity we can't touch it yet.

The interior of the BMW 3 Series was very clean, with nothing but the original factory equipment.

Sun Juan must be from a small city. She seemed very happy when she got on the bus and even said, "I've never ridden in such a nice bus before!"
"Really? You've never even ridden in a BMW 3 Series?" Huang Xinyi was clearly a little incredulous.

Sun Juan, however, seemed quite natural. She said, "What's the big deal? My family doesn't have a car. When I was in high school, it only took me about ten minutes to walk from home to school. I didn't need a car at all."

Huang Xinyi was speechless after hearing this. She sat in the back row by the window, looking around.

She asked Zhou Ziyang, who was driving in the front seat, "Zhou Ziyang, how much is this car?"

“Not much. Isn’t the BMW 3 Series always around 300,000?” Zhou Ziyang said.

Before he could finish speaking, Jiang Menghan, who was standing next to him, suddenly said, "Your car is worth 450,000."

"?" Jiang Menghan's sudden words surprised Zhou Ziyang.

Jiang Menghan blushed slightly and said, "I just went to look at cars with my dad during the summer vacation."

"Your model is the standard 335li, which costs at least 450,000 yuan," Jiang Menghan whispered, explaining the basics.

Upon hearing this, Sun Juan gasped in surprise.

"This car is so expensive?"

Huang Xinyi fell silent for a moment, not because she was scared by the price of the car.

Rather, she felt ashamed that she didn't know things that Jiang Menghan knew.

As Zhou Ziyang drove, he said, "I didn't expect you to know so much?"

"No, I just saw it with my dad," Jiang Menghan said, her face slightly flushed.

Zhou Ziyang hummed in agreement.

It takes about ten minutes to walk from the girls' dormitory to the school gate, or about three minutes by car.

In the blink of an eye.

Zhou Ziyang had already driven the car to the school gate. He said that, in principle, he should take them to the commercial street.

However, two other students wanted to watch a movie.

I'll pick them up on my way.

I'm so sorry.

Sun Juan quickly waved her hand and said, "It's okay, it's okay!"
Zhou Ziyang then placed them next to the bus stop.

When she left, Huang Xinyi wanted Zhou Ziyang's contact information.

She had already come up with a reason.

But with her roommates all around, she couldn't bring herself to say anything, so she just stared at Zhou Ziyang, hesitant to speak.

Jiang Menghan seemed to sense her thoughts and hurriedly took Zhou Ziyang's hand just as she was about to speak.

After dropping them off at the bus stop.

Zhou Ziyang went back to the school to pick up Qi Tao and the others.

I received a call from Qi Tao midway through.

Qi Tao said impatiently, "No, Lao Zhou, where did you go? You're not going to stand me up, are you?"

"No, I'm coming right away."

"Then hurry up, bro!"

Qi Tao was really anxious at this moment.

If Zhou Ziyang doesn't come soon, Lin Siyao will have to leave.

Lin Siyao is a strange person. She gives everyone the impression that she is difficult to get along with, but she is also very loyal to her promises and will never be late for what she has promised.

Lin Siyao arrived at the cafeteria entrance ten minutes earlier than the agreed time.

She was wearing a white tank top and a black jacket.

Her figure is perfect for wearing tank tops; not only is her waist slender, but the tank tops also support her chest, giving it a full and plump look that appears soft and easy to squeeze.

She wore black denim shorts with white sneakers on her lower body.

Jiang Menghan's legs can be described as fair and tender.

Lin Siyao's legs, on the other hand, are slender, the classic chopsticks legs.

I feel that even with leg-lengthening effects, some girls might not be as pretty as Lin Siyao.

I waited for about five minutes.

Qi Tao arrived late.

"Siyao, you're here so early!"

Qi Tao's attire was actually quite ordinary, but the fact that he was carrying a backpack made him look...

Lin Siyao and Qi Tao were about the same height. Looking at Qi Tao's appearance, Lin Siyao didn't know what to say, but she asked curiously, "Didn't you say that Zhou Ziyang and his girlfriend were coming too?"

"What about people?"

"Coming right away, coming right away. Old Zhou has disappeared without a trace. Military training just ended."

"But don't worry, I made an appointment with him, he won't stand me up, let's wait a bit."

"By the way, Yao Yao, are you hungry? I brought you milk tea, potato chips, and cola. What do you want to eat?" Qi Tao said, taking his backpack off his back and showing Lin Siyao the things he had brought.

"I'm not hungry. You should hurry up and pack your things; there are people all over here."

Lin Siyao couldn't help but want to put some distance between herself and Qi Tao.

"Oh, okay, just tell me if you're hungry, I'll prepare something special for you!"

Qi Tao bought these things at the convenience store last night.

He genuinely wanted to be good to Lin Siyao.

Lin Siyao just watched the time tick by, wondering, "Why hasn't Zhou Ziyang arrived yet?"

"Qi Tao, you're not lying to me, are you? I'm telling you, if Zhou Ziyang wasn't here, I would never have gone to the movies with you."

"No, no, why would I lie to you!"

Qi Tao suddenly became anxious.

He said he really did make an appointment with Zhou Ziyang.

"This old Zhou, how can he have no sense of time at all! Wait a minute, let me give him a call."

As he spoke, Qi Tao hurriedly went to make a phone call.

Lin Siyao waited on the side.

But then a black BMW slowly drove up from a distance.

"Old Zhou, when are you arriving?" Qi Tao asked anxiously.

"arrive."

"where."

"Beep."

The BMW honked its horn twice, the sound so loud that Qi Tao found it somewhat annoying.

Qi Tao couldn't help but complain: "Damn it, so what if he drives a BMW 3 Series? What's so great about that? What did you say? A car honked just now, but I didn't hear it."

Lin Siyao sensed something was wrong when the BMW drove towards her.

When the car stopped, Lin Siyao noticed that Zhou Ziyang was sitting in the driver's seat.

But now it's getting dark.

In addition, the BMW's low beam headlights were somewhat dazzling.

Until Zhou Ziyang got off the bus.

Lin Siyao then noticed Zhou Ziyang's appearance.

Lin Siyao, who had always disliked Qi Tao, suddenly had a different look in her eyes when she saw Zhou Ziyang get out of the BMW.

"Qi Tao".

Zhou Ziyang called out to Qi Tao.

Qi Tao was taken aback when he saw Zhou Ziyang clearly.

He forgot to hang up the phone.

She followed Lin Siyao to Zhou Ziyang's side.
