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

Chapter 89 Xia Wei Provokes Jiang Menghan
The song "Starry Sea" was released in January 2021 in the original timeline. In less than two weeks, it topped the charts on various music lists, and within a month, it had been played for over 40 million times.

In addition to its catchy rap, this song has gained popularity not only for its catchy lyrics but also for its inspiring lyrics that resonate with the core values ​​of contemporary youth.

It has been adopted as the theme song for many official youth-themed events.

It was even more fortunate that its lyrics were adapted and became the background music for the music video celebrating the centennial of the company.

So even freshmen who don't understand music can tell that this song is really amazing!

At the very least, I can't sing it myself.

Moreover, people with musical backgrounds like Li Chumei and Jiang Menghan were genuinely amazed when they heard Zhou Ziyang sing this song.

Even more astonishingly, as Zhou Ziyang played the guitar, each note reached a higher pitch than the last.

I'm heading straight for you~
You are the stars and the sea!
ei~
The middle part of this song has a short period of building up energy.

During this time, Zhou Ziyang also took the opportunity to play a short fingerstyle guitar piece to show off his talent.

To be honest, Zhou Ziyang's statement that playing the guitar isn't just about having hands isn't meant to be pretentious.

The main point is that Zhou Ziyang really didn't learn guitar much. He only learned it for about half a year in college to pursue a girl, and even then, he didn't practice every day.

Of course, Zhou Ziyang's skill level is also only mediocre.

Zhou Ziyang's mindset just now was that although his guitar playing was terrible, having such an original song was bound to be amazing.

The moment he plucked the strings, all the memories and techniques from his past life rushed back to him. In fact, at that moment, Zhou Ziyang felt he had a new understanding of the guitar in his arms. With that one strum, Zhou Ziyang felt a sense of mastery that came with practice.

They truly achieved a state of perfect harmony between mind and body.

In theory, Liu Jiahao's guitar skills should be superior to Zhou Ziyang's.

After all, he is the president of the guitar club.

However, judging from the current situation, Zhou Ziyang's level is completely professional.

In Zhou Ziyang's hands, the guitar was like a small toy.

They were at Zhou Ziyang's mercy.

Everyone was completely captivated by Zhou Ziyang's music.

At that moment, the guitar music suddenly stopped.

"Ok?"

What does it mean?
At this moment, Zhou Ziyang stood up, to everyone's surprise.

Zhou Ziyang actually went over and grabbed Jiang Menghan's hand.

Just now, Jiang Menghan was watching Zhou Ziyang's back with an excited expression.

At this moment, Jiang Menghan was truly moved.

She never dreamed that Zhou Ziyang could play the guitar and sing.

What an amazing boyfriend!

How lucky I am to have found such a boyfriend!

The result is still unclear.

Then Zhou Ziyang came over and took her hand.

"Oh~"

Under the watchful eyes of everyone, Zhou Ziyang led Jiang Menghan onto the stage.

At this moment, Jiang Menghan was extremely shy, her face flushed red. One hand was being held by Zhou Ziyang, while the other hand covered her face.

I'm so ashamed I can't face anyone!
However, she was unaware of her own behavior at that moment.

Some girls might think it's incredibly pretentious!

At the very least, Xia Wei's eyes were starting to blaze with fury.

From the initial surprise when Zhou Ziyang said he wanted to sing.

Then Zhou Ziyang actually sang this song.

The people nearby were amazed:

"Zhou Ziyang can really sing?"

"Wow! Zhou Ziyang sings so well!"

"What is he doing?"

"Ah! He pulled his girlfriend onto the stage!"

"His girlfriend is so lucky!"

One sentence after another.

Every word was tearing Xia Wei's heart apart!

If it weren't for her mother's obstruction of her being with Zhou Ziyang...

I guess I was Zhou Ziyang's girlfriend back in high school!
Then the two of them will go to university together!

They are a couple that everyone envies!
At this moment, Zhou Ziyang should be holding his own hand!

Looking at Zhou Ziyang holding his guitar, singing to Jiang Menghan with deep emotion:

Every time you walk towards me~
Tell me about the stars and the sea~
Suddenly, Xia Wei burst into tears.

Two lines of clear tears uncontrollably streamed down her cheeks.

"Weiwei? Why are you crying?"

Shen Xin didn't have so many thoughts. She was just a little lost in thought as she looked at Zhou Ziyang and Jiang Menghan on the stage. She had a bit of a crush on Zhou Ziyang, but nothing substantial had happened between them.

Moreover, Jiang Menghan, who was standing next to Zhou Ziyang, was indeed outstanding, and he accepted his defeat wholeheartedly.

But when he turned to look at Xia Wei, he was speechless.

It would have been better if Shen Xin hadn't said anything, because once she opened her mouth...

Xia Wei's tears flowed like tiny pearls from a broken string.

Why her? Why her?!
It should be myself!
Seeing Xia Wei crying, the girls around her all went over to comfort her.

In fact, Lin Siyao can understand Xia Wei.

After all, who wouldn't want to be standing next to Zhou Ziyang right now?
When Zhang Dapeng saw Xia Wei crying, he couldn't help but mutter to himself, "Why is she crying all of a sudden?"

Upon hearing this, Qi Tao cursed inwardly as an idiot.

"Don't you understand this?"

"But Old Zhou is a master of disguise; it seems like there's nothing he can't do!"

Just as the audience was getting restless, Zhou Ziyang's song gradually came to an end.

The second half of his piece was basically played for Jiang Menghan.

The voice returned to its low tone for the last two sentences:
The stars that burn brightly in my eyes~
Lights guide me through the long night

The guitar finished with a few single notes, and the audience fell silent.

Then came a thunderous burst of enthusiastic applause.

This song was truly the biggest surprise during military training. Zhou Ziyang had no idea how crazy some of the girls below were when he played the guitar.

Putting aside everyone else, Wang Na was the one who kept holding up her phone to film videos!

She sent the video to a few of her close friends from high school.

They said over there, "Look! Our school's heartthrob!"

"He's in our class, and he can not only play the guitar, but also write novels."

Amid applause, Zhou Ziyang bowed to the crowd.

Jiang Menghan followed beside him, and seeing that Zhou Ziyang was about to bow, she naturally followed suit.

After bowing, Zhou Ziyang wanted to leave with Jiang Menghan.

To everyone's surprise, Liu Jiahao caught up with them again.

"do not go!"

"do not go!"

But then he chased after the crowd onto the stage, looking quite comical.

Zhou Ziyang wondered what this guy was up to now.

But he looked exaggeratedly surprised.

After a while, he suddenly bent over and said, "Boss! I kneel before you!"

He looked like he was about to kneel down when he said that!

Of course, he was just pretending to kneel down; he wasn't actually kneeling.

Zhou Ziyang would definitely have to offer a token helping hand as well.

Those below burst into laughter upon seeing this.

This scene perfectly suits everyone's desire to watch a spectacle.

The freshmen are totally dominating the upperclassmen!
But to be honest, unless you're a particularly dark person, what else can you say at this point besides admitting your defeat?
This Zhou Ziyang is really something!

Although Liu Jiahao was upset, what else could he say besides ending the performance with this half-joking stage effect?
Does this mean I'm going to have a 1v1 fight with Zhou Ziyang?

Don't be ridiculous. He's been learning guitar for six or seven years. Whether he plays well or not is another matter, but at least he can tell whether others play well or not.

Liu Jiahao said, "I'm convinced now."

"Now I'm completely convinced!"

"Young man, you must come to our guitar club."

"You can have the guitar club president's seat! I'll be your vice president!"

Every word he said elicited laughter from the audience.

Zhou Ziyang shook his head, saying he had never thought about joining the guitar club.

"I prefer quiet, so I probably won't join any clubs." Zhou Ziyang was quite good at putting on an act.

"No way! The guitar club needs you! You have no idea how noisy it was down there when you were singing on stage!"

"The head of the Arts and Literature Department almost got into a fight with the head of the Organization Department, saying your song is perfect for an adaptation! Our student council wants you too! You absolutely have to join our student council, bro!" Liu Jiahao said confidently.

He said that this year's freshmen are truly full of talent.

"We, the student council, want both of you!"

"Coax~"

A burst of laughter erupted below, with people thinking that Liu Jiahao was quite a character; how could they be husband and wife at a time like this?

Jiang Menghan blushed at these words.

Afterwards, Liu Jiahao kept Zhou Ziyang and Jiang Menghan on stage for quite a while, until there was simply no more time, at which point he finally let them leave.

As Zhou Ziyang and Jiang Menghan stepped off the stage, the students below were all staring at them and whispering among themselves.

Jiang Menghan gripped Zhou Ziyang's hand even tighter; she truly hadn't expected things to develop this way, and her face flushed crimson.

Zhou Ziyang was walking along when he suddenly stopped.

"?" Jiang Menghan was puzzled. Zhou Ziyang raised his hand and looked at it, saying, "If you don't let go, my hand will be red from being pinched!"

These words made Jiang Menghan feel so ashamed that she wanted to disappear.

Once they reached their respective squads, the two naturally separated.

As for Jiang Menghan, her classmates were naturally all laughing at her.

Actually, I envy her.

Sun Juan said, "Menghan! You don't know, you looked absolutely gorgeous on stage just now!"

Huang Xinyi's jealousy was practically written all over her face.

Especially when Zhou Ziyang sings, people around him say...

So handsome!
listen well!
Huang Xinyi just couldn't understand how Jiang Menghan could find such a good boyfriend.

The peacock dance that Jiang Menghan just performed was actually quite stunning.

The problem is that students with a dance background think they could learn Jiang Menghan's dance anytime they had some time.

But Zhou Ziyang is such a perfect boyfriend.

There might not be one in the entire school.

After Zhou Ziyang arrived at the company, he was often ridiculed by his classmates.

Most importantly, the instructors looked at Zhou Ziyang with a hint of resentment.

You bastard!
If you're so good, why didn't you perform during military training?

Are you looking down on me?

Zhou Ziyang chuckled softly.

I thought to myself, isn't that obvious? What's so interesting about a bunch of grown men putting on a show?
"You're amazing, Lao Zhou!"

"Brother Zhou, tell us quickly, what else are you hiding from us!"

Zhou Ziyang was surrounded by a group of boys, who were putting their arms around his shoulders and swaying his body.

Even classmates who weren't familiar with him before were now all surrounding Zhou Ziyang.

After undergoing a period of military training, Qi Tao had a great chance of becoming a squad leader.

But after today, it all feels so mysterious.

The club recruitment event quickly came to an end. As several senior students left the stage, the various teams disbanded in an orderly manner under the guidance of their instructors.

The entire playground was packed with people, each heading towards the playground entrance.

Many people were waiting to talk to Zhou Ziyang, but Qi Tao and Zhang Dapeng stood guard around him like two protective guardians.

Zhou Ziyang's public display of power makes it seem like Qi Tao and Zhang Dapeng also have an immense sense of glory.

Zhang Dapeng grinned and said to the girl next to him, Yi Lun Zhou Ziyang, "Hehe, that's my roommate!"

Many girls I didn't know came over to say hello.

They playfully patted Zhou Ziyang on the shoulder from behind.

Or she might suddenly appear in front of Zhou Ziyang and say, "Hi, you're Zhou Ziyang!"

Zhou Ziyang thought to himself, "Isn't that obvious?"

I don't know what they wanted to do. They just came over to say hello, and then left without saying anything else.

At that moment, another girl in military training uniform hit Zhou Ziyang hard from behind.

Damn, this girl is stronger than the other girls.

Zhou Ziyang frowned, about to ask if he could even say hello.

But then Jiang Menghan winked at him playfully and snuggled into Zhou Ziyang's arms.

"Big star! You're very popular!" Zhou Ziyang said, "You're not bad either."

"Whee!"

Jiang Menghan did gain a lot of fame this time, but her subsequent exposure was basically due to Zhou Ziyang. People would say, "Look, this is Zhou Ziyang's girlfriend."

This actually made Jiang Menghan very discouraged.

Sigh, I was hoping to show off a little in front of Zhou Ziyang.

Let him know that his girlfriend isn't just a pretty face.

Who would have thought that not only did the installation fail?

This also increased Zhou Ziyang's fame.

As a result, Jiang Menghan has become even more dependent on Zhou Ziyang, fearing that he might be taken away by another girl.

In the past, Jiang Menghan and Zhou Ziyang were not usually affectionate in public.

But right now, he's actively sidling up to Zhou Ziyang.

They even surrounded Zhou Ziyang during lunch.

The cafeteria was packed with people waiting to eat.

Jiang Menghan ate with Zhou Ziyang today.

Qi Tao and Zhang Dapeng were also by his side.

They chose a spot to sit down.

Zhang Dapeng said that it feels like everyone is talking about Brother Zhou now!
"When I was getting my food, I heard two girls looking this way!"

To be honest, hearing this made Jiang Menghan feel a little sour and uncomfortable.

But Zhou Ziyang didn't say anything at this moment, and just kept his head down playing on his phone.

This made Jiang Menghan pout and ask, "What are you playing at? You're not even eating properly?"

"Which girl did you message this time?" The tone was tinged with resentment.

Zhou Ziyang smiled wryly upon hearing this and said, "What are you talking about? I'm sending a message to Sister Chumei."

"Chu Mei? Is that your roommate's fiancée?" Jiang Menghan couldn't help but picture Li Chu Mei's elegant face.

She was very curious about how Zhou Ziyang had gotten in touch with Li Chumei.

Zhou Ziyang replied that Sister Chu Mei asked him to go to the multimedia classroom at six o'clock in the evening.

"They said I sang this song well and asked me to record it again on the campus radio."

Qi Tao was quite envious when he heard this. He said, "Aren't you going to become famous throughout the school?"

Zhou Ziyang said, "I didn't agree."

"Why?"

Hearing from Zhou Ziyang that he hadn't agreed, it seemed that the people around him were more anxious than he was.

But Zhou Ziyang said: She said she would only give me fifty yuan as a reward for my trouble.

"I said I wouldn't go if it was less than 100."

"What the hell! Old Zhou, are you even human?"

"That's right, you're haggling over fifty yuan! You don't need that little bit of money!"

Zhang Dapeng and Qi Tao were both amused and exasperated by what they heard.

Zhou Ziyang said that this price of 100 yuan was a friendly price. If it weren't for the sake of his alma mater, he might not have been able to go even if it cost 100,000 yuan.

"Huh~"

Upon hearing this, Zhang Dapeng and Qi Tao naturally ridiculed him.

Li Chumei stated that the organization department's funds were also very limited, and the remuneration for inviting alumni to sing was all set in advance, so Zhou Ziyang's demand for 100 yuan was indeed against the rules.

Otherwise, give Zhou Ziyang fifty yuan first.

Then Zhou Ziyang's 50 yuan department fee for joining the Organization Department was waived?

"Wait a minute, senior, when did I say I wanted to join the Organization Department?" Zhou Ziyang noticed the blind spot in her statement.

Li Chumei smiled when she saw this.

She said that according to regulations, freshmen must join a department or club, and each semester they are entitled to two credits. If they do not accumulate enough credits by graduation, they will not be able to graduate.

Since I'm going to join anyway, I'll just join a club.

Why don't you join my organization department?

"We're at least somewhat familiar with each other, aren't we?"

Zhou Ziyang said, "Don't use those tricks on me."

Extracurricular activities that offer academic credits are a complete scam. The main problem is that Zhou Ziyang actually believed it when he was a freshman in his previous life, thinking that he wouldn't graduate until he had accumulated enough credits. He only realized in his junior and senior years that these things were completely unimportant.

Seeing that Zhou Ziyang didn't believe her, Li Chumei even went so far as to explain the importance of academic credits to him.

Zhou Ziyang then sent Li Chumei a "picking his nose" emoji.

This made Li Chumei laugh in exasperation.

Jiang Menghan was a little jealous when she saw Zhou Ziyang chatting with Li Chumei on his phone. She insisted on looking at Zhou Ziyang's phone to see what he and Li Chumei were talking about.

Zhou Ziyang said it was just a casual chat.

Jiang Menghan felt that Zhou Ziyang had gone a bit too far in his conversation.

Zhou Ziyang chuckled and said, "What's wrong with this? It's just ordinary chatting."

"Humph!"

Qi Tao and Zhang Dapeng were standing nearby, and they found Jiang Menghan's tantrum cute. However, Zhou Ziyang was quite 'emotionally unintelligent'. Not only did he not try to appease Jiang Menghan, but he also managed to eat.

The group ate lunch for a while when Qi Tao suddenly saw Lin Siyao walking into the cafeteria with Xia Wei and Shen Xin.

Without thinking, Qi Tao waved and greeted Lin Siyao: "Siyao! Over here!"

Lin Siyao saw Qi Tao, as well as Zhou Ziyang and Jiang Menghan who were eating there.

To be honest, Lin Siyao really wanted to go and sit down, but after looking at Xia Wei, whose eyes were still red, she thought better of it.

The reason they ate late was because of Xia Wei.

During the lunch break, Xia Wei cried for a long time.

During a break, Xia Wei even went to the balcony to make a phone call to her mother.

Xu Qing was very happy when she received the call.

As the saying goes, "A mother worries when her son travels a thousand miles." Xia Wei has been away studying for two weeks now, and Xu Qing has been worried about how Xia Wei is doing.
Are you eating well? Are you sleeping well?
Have you been bullied by others outside?
I finally got a phone call, and it was in the middle of the day.

Xu Qing thought to herself, her daughter must be missing her.

The call was just connected.

Then Xia Wei's icy voice rang out: "Did you know? Zhou Ziyang is in a relationship."

Xu Qing was taken aback, her eyebrows immediately furrowing. Her initial joy turned to despair. Why was her daughter so fixated on this issue every day?

What do you mean by talking about dating?
Didn't we make that clear a couple of days ago?

So Xu Qing patiently said, "That's good. Others have their own lives, so you should have your own lives too."

"Shit!"

After saying those two words, she couldn't control her emotions anymore, even though she had managed to. She said that what Xu Qing said was bullshit!
Do you know who his girlfriend is?
His girlfriend is not only beautiful, but also the only daughter of a wealthy family. She can also dance, play the piano, and play the guzheng!

You don't want Zhou Ziyang as your son-in-law.

Everyone wants Zhou Ziyang as their son-in-law!
It's all your fault!

Zhou Ziyang, Zhou Ziyang used to like me.

The result is always the same: you say Zhou Ziyang isn't good enough for me.

Woo!
Woohoo!

Oh oh oh!
As she poured out her grievances, Xia Wei couldn't help but cry again.

In her opinion, it was all her mother's fault.

After hearing what she said, Xu Qing was also very angry. She said, "If she wants it, then give it to her!"

"How many times have I told you? Why can't you understand?!"

"You two are not a good match!"

"So you've made it! What about your Uncle Zhou and me?"

"You should be happy for Ziyang that he found a girlfriend like this."

"Bullshit! It's all fake, a complete fraud!"

For some reason, Xia Wei suddenly became anxious.

Xu Qing patiently tried to persuade Xia Wei, but Xia Wei wouldn't listen at all.

Xia Wei said, "I don't want to listen to you anymore!"

"I'm never listening to you again!"

"Anyway, I'm not home anymore, so what happens between you and Uncle Zhou is your business!"

"What happens between Zhou Ziyang and me is our business!"

"Hey? Xia Wei, what do you mean?" Upon hearing this, Xu Qing sensed something was wrong and was about to explain again with heartfelt words.

To everyone's surprise, Xia Wei hung up the phone immediately.

"Hello? Vivi?"

"Vivi!"

Xu Qing called out several times, but only a busy signal answered her.

Thinking about what Xia Wei said later, Xu Qing felt a sense of foreboding, so she called back.

Unfortunately, Xia Wei did not answer.

Xu Qing's face turned ashen. After hesitating for a moment, Xu Qing decided to go to Jinling himself!
Even after Xia Wei hung up the phone, her eyes were still red.

She made the call discreetly, away from Lin Siyao and Shen Xin.

But the dormitory is only so big, how could Shen Xin and Lin Siyao not hear it?

Although I don't know the whole story, I can understand most of it from what they say.

"Weiwei, did you break up with Zhou Ziyang because of your mother?" Shen Xin asked cautiously from the side.

However, Xia Wei did not answer her question. Instead, she asked Shen Xin and Lin Siyao if they were going to have dinner.
We definitely had to go eat. The reason we didn't eat first was to wait for Xia Wei.

So the three of them went to the cafeteria.

Qi Tao beckoned the three people over to sit down.

Lin Siyao, however, only looked at Xia Wei.

At this moment, Xia Wei also saw Zhou Ziyang, and Jiang Menghan sitting next to him.

Xia Wei, who had been heartbroken and like a walking corpse, seemed to have made a decision the moment she saw Jiang Menghan.

She didn't say a word.

He walked towards Zhou Ziyang's location on his own.

Lin Siyao and Shen Xin originally wanted to sit next to Zhou Ziyang, and seeing that Xia Wei was so direct, the two of them naturally did not hesitate any longer.

"Siyao! Why are you so late!"

Qi Tao thought he had received a response to his greeting and was very happy. He quickly spoke to Lin Siyao.

In an atmosphere where someone says, "Oh, something came up," talking to them might help to distract them.
But one sentence she uttered immediately made Qi Tao forget all the unpleasantness of the past, and he began to chat with Lin Siyao even more enthusiastically.

Xia Wei stared intently at Zhou Ziyang without blinking.

Zhou Ziyang, on the other hand, was looking at his phone while eating.

Jiang Menghan was sulking next to Zhou Ziyang, hoping that he would come over and coax her.

At this moment, Xia Wei spoke up.

She said, "When did you learn guitar? How come I didn't know?"

"?" Upon hearing this,

Jiang Menghan couldn't help but look up.

But then Xia Wei stared at Zhou Ziyang with red eyes.

Jiang Menghan's expression turned serious.

Zhou Ziyang said, "I started learning on my own in the first year of high school. The pressure at school is so great, even if I know how to play the guitar, I can't just carry it around and play it at school."

"You can play it at the New Year's Eve party," Xia Wei said with a faint smile.

Zhou Ziyang said, "Let's forget about it."

"So much time has passed since then."

Xia Wei replied, "You've never played the guitar for me."

"When you're free sometime, could you play the guitar for me?" Xia Wei's voice was very gentle.

But the students next to them were terrified.

“?” Zhang Dapeng looked at Qi Tao.

Qi Tao quickly lowered his head and drank water.

Use your eyes to signal.

Shut up! There's a murderous aura about you!
Lin Siyao and Shen Xin thought to themselves, "This is bad."

"Forehead."

Before Zhou Ziyang could speak, Jiang Menghan, who had already sensed that something was wrong, frowned.

"Wait a moment."

"I want to ask, why did I play it for you?"

As Jiang Menghan spoke, she placed her hand on Zhou Ziyang's arm.

Xia Wei, observing this action, didn't think it would harm her at all. She simply asked, "Didn't Zhou Ziyang tell you?"

"What did you say?" Jiang Menghan turned to look at Zhou Ziyang.

Xia Wei said, "Zhou Ziyang and I were not only high school classmates, but we also dated in high school. We didn't stay together because our parents didn't approve."

"Hey, don't talk nonsense. We can only say it's ambiguous, not dating." Zhou Ziyang quickly denied it upon hearing this.

Xia Wei seemed to have been prepared. She stared at Zhou Ziyang and asked in a low voice, "Then can you say that you've never kissed me?"
