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

Chapter 185 Lin Siyao: A Novice Who Loves to Play
"Only 720 yuan a week?"

Lin Siyao calculated for a while and then asked.

720 yuan is indeed very little compared to Xia Wei's past photo shoots, which easily brought in 3,000 yuan, but it is a lot for students.

Hearing Lin Siyao say that.

Zhou Ziyang was speechless: "If you think it's too little, then don't go."

After saying that, Zhou Ziyang wanted to leave first, but Lin Siyao grabbed him and pouted, saying, "Come back."

"Did I let you go?"

Lin Siyao's tall figure and Zhou Ziyang's standing together are quite a good match.

Zhou Ziyang rolled his eyes at her, too lazy to even acknowledge her.

"I'm asking you, did you find this job specifically for me?"

"Isn't that obvious? I don't do this kind of thing," Zhou Ziyang said, speechless.

Hearing this, Lin Siyao was somewhat pleased, so she asked again, "Then let me ask you, why didn't you reply when I looked for you online?"

"I'm so busy every day, where would I find the time to chat with you?"

"Well, Qi Tao has time every day."

"Go and talk to Qi Tao."

"You really are..."

Lin Siyao wanted to chat with Zhou Ziyang in a corner, but Xia Wei, who had finished preparing the seasonings, waited for a long time without seeing Zhou Ziyang, so she curiously came over.

"Zhou Ziyang".

Xia Wei walked over and found Zhou Ziyang and Lin Siyao standing together, but she didn't suspect anything.

She was simply curious: why wasn't Zhou Ziyang getting the seasonings? What was he doing standing there?
Zhou Ziyang said he would come right away.

Lin Siyao hadn't even exchanged two words with Zhou Ziyang when she suddenly felt a sense of loss.

The main reason was that she felt the relationship between Zhou Ziyang and Xia Wei was very strange.

At the beginning, they were said to be each other's first love, and Xia Wei made a huge fuss over Zhou Ziyang.

Then they said something else: Xia Wei's mother was going to marry Zhou Ziyang's father.

So, the two should be siblings?

Let's accept this relationship for now and not discuss it further.

Now that Jiang Menghan has transferred to another campus, the two of them no longer hide from others and openly hold hands.

Whose siblings are like this?

Lin Siyao suddenly found herself disliking Xia Wei.

After everyone prepared their seasonings and returned to the private room, the hot pot broth was already boiling.

Qi Tao was already eagerly eating hot pot there. He said that if it was mutton, Donglaishun was the most authentic place!
"If you have time to visit Baijing in the future, I'll treat you to the most authentic Lao Baijing hot pot. Siyao should have tried it before, right? It's the most authentic one."

Qi Tao spoke with his signature Beijing accent.

Lin Siyao was clearly a little sullen and said, "I've never eaten it before. My family is poor, so I've never eaten it."

"Hey!" Qi Tao thought to himself when he heard that Lin Siyao hadn't tried it before, "I'll take you there next time."

Before he could finish speaking, Zhang Dapeng interrupted him, saying, "Alright, Brother Tao, stop talking. The water's already boiling. It's not like you're treating today, so why are you talking so much?"

"Hehe, let's quickly thank Lao Zhou for treating us to hot pot! Thank you, Lao Zhou, I'll drink this, you can have whatever you want!"

Zhang Dapeng also felt that eating hot pot and drinking beer on a cold day like this was the most comfortable thing to do. Compared to Qi Tao's long-winded speech, Zhang Dapeng was still thinking about drinking as soon as possible.

"Come on, let's have one together." Zhou Ziyang raised his glass.

"Okay."

Others responded.

After finishing their first drink, everyone started eating. Zhang Dapeng said, "Old Zhou, you've been away for so long this time, and you've participated in so many TV programs. You must have seen a lot of celebrities, right?"
Zhou Ziyang said, "It's alright, the key is that I know them, but they don't know me."

"How could that be? You're so popular right now." Zhang Dapeng clearly didn't believe it.

Zhou Ziyang, however, laughed and said that popularity is relative, and his popularity was only for a short time, a flash in the pan.

"They've been famous for so long."

"Surely you can at least say a few words?" Zhang Dapeng asked.

Zhou Ziyang nodded and said they had chatted for a few minutes.

"Could you get my autograph next time I see you?"

Zhang Dapeng looked up and waited, which amused everyone. Qi Tao rolled his eyes and said, "Dapeng, I don't usually see you following celebrities."

"Hehe, you don't understand. I can make a lot of money selling it online," Zhang Dapeng grinned.

Qi Tao couldn't bear to watch and said, "Aren't you ashamed?"
Afterwards, Zhang Dapeng kept asking Zhou Ziyang all sorts of questions, but Qi Tao told Zhang Dapeng not to bother Lao Zhou anymore.

"Old Zhou is a big shot now, and if he bothers him with something as small as yours, people will laugh at him to death!"

Zhou Ziyang, however, remained calm and smiled, indicating that everything was fine.

"But if I ask someone for it, they might not give it to me."

"Stop talking about me, tell me about school."

"What could possibly happen at school? It's just classes and breaks every day. I wish I could travel around like you in college!" Lin Siyao said, looking at Zhou Ziyang with anticipation.

“How can Zhou Ziyang’s actions be considered playing around?” Xia Wei disagreed.

"Alright, alright, let's not talk about that. The meat's all cooked, let's eat. Old Zhou, I'll toast you too!" Qi Tao was quite perceptive and said directly.

Zhou Ziyang didn't drive today, mainly because he was tired from running around outside. Returning to school really felt like home, so he didn't refuse Qi Tao's toast.

It's getting cold, let's drink some wine to warm ourselves up.

Taking Xia Wei home later will help her perform better.

After Qi Tao finished his drink, Shen Xin also raised her glass, saying that she also wanted to toast Zhou Ziyang.

Zhou Ziyang said, "What do you want to offer me as a gift?"

"I think you're amazing, and I admire you a lot." Shen Xin is a very shy girl from Jiangnan. At the beginning of the semester, Shen Xin had a very good impression of Zhou Ziyang.

The competition from Zhou Ziyang became too fierce, and Shen Xin had no choice but to give up.

But after giving up, she discovered that Zhou Ziyang was not just good, he was extremely good.

Shen Xin liked Zhou Ziyang back then simply because she thought he had a great temperament and was very steady, which gave her an invisible attraction. Now that Zhou Ziyang is famous in universities across the country, Shen Xin is too embarrassed to say that she likes him anymore.

It is worship.

I really admire him.

Now, when she reads by herself, she listens to Zhou Ziyang's songs with her headphones on.

Shen Xin's word "admiration" made several people laugh.

Lin Siyao found it amusing and said, "Shen Xin, you've become a fangirl of Zhou Ziyang."

One sentence made Shen Xin blush, and she glared at Lin Siyao.

She forced a smile, her face flushed, and raised her glass to toast Zhou Ziyang.

Zhou Ziyang had no reason to refuse.

However, Xia Wei's expression was not good at the moment, and she also became more wary of Shen Xin.

Next is time to eat and drink.

They each found someone to drink and eat with. Qi Tao and Zhang Dapeng could only drink silently. Zhang Dapeng was actually very outgoing in front of the boys, but he didn't dare to say a word in front of the girls.

At the beginning of the semester, he even had the nerve to tell Qi Tao that he wanted to pursue Shen Xin.

When they were face to face, Zhang Dapeng didn't dare to look Shen Xin in the eye.

He only dared to drink with Qi Tao.

Qi Tao was a bit bolder than Zhang Dapeng. After finally filling his glass, he raised it to Lin Siyao to express his appreciation.

"Yaoyao, let me toast you."

Lin Siyao and Qi Tao didn't have any major grudges, and in fact, Qi Tao had been bringing Lin Siyao breakfast quite often over the past month.

Lin Siyao had no reason to refuse, so she clinked glasses with Qi Tao.

This drink delighted Qi Tao, and he continued to chat with Lin Siyao, asking her questions such as, "What do you think of the taste of this hot pot?"
Are you used to the food?
Lin Siyao gave a perfunctory answer that it was alright.

Then his gaze involuntarily turned to Zhou Ziyang.

Zhou Ziyang was definitely being pestered by Xia Wei at this moment.

The relationship between the two is really strange. Now that a month has officially started the semester, they've started talking about everything in the dorm.

Several girls in the dormitory also asked Xia Wei what the relationship was between Zhou Ziyang.
Xia Wei kept insisting that there was no possibility between her and Zhou Ziyang.

Does this seem impossible?

It felt like if Xia Wei drank two more glasses of wine, she would be sitting in Zhou Ziyang's lap.

Xia Wei had already drunk two glasses of wine, her cheeks were slightly flushed, and she was in a slightly tipsy state. Xia Wei hadn't seen Zhou Ziyang for a long time, so she was definitely happy to see him again.

So she rested her arm on Zhou Ziyang's thigh, half-lying on his leg, and asked him, "You've been gone for so long, have you met any other girls?"
Zhou Ziyang whispered to her, "I can barely take care of you and Jiang Menghan, how can you know other girls?"
Xia Wei was pleased to hear this: "So how did you manage to cope over the past month?"

Of course, we should go to Jiang Menghan to resolve this.

There's nothing he can do; Jiang Menghan is Zhou Ziyang's first wife, so when Zhou Ziyang comes back, he'll definitely go see his first wife first.

"Let's not talk about this. Look at you, you're all drunk, your face is all red."

Zhou Ziyang changed the subject and even pinched Xia Wei's cheek.

Xia Wei pouted and said Zhou Ziyang was annoying.

"I'm not drunk at all, I just get flushed from drinking."

"seriously?"

Zhou Ziyang couldn't help but laugh at this, and asked, "So you can still drink?"
“Of course,” Xia Wei said, “I don’t think I’m drunk, I just feel a little hot in the head.”

Zhou Ziyang suggested, "Shall we have two more drinks?"
"What good drinks do we have?" Xia Wei asked, pouting as she opened her big, watery eyes.

Although Xu Qing isn't a great woman, Xia Wei, whom she raised, is indeed innocent and has no bad habits. Xia Wei probably doesn't even know anything about things like drinking and going to nightclubs, and she doesn't understand the drinking games in nightclubs either.

At this time, her outfit was still in a school style, with a high-necked sweater paired with black shorts and sheer tights.

Her "bare leg" tights were of decent quality; they felt like she wasn't wearing anything at all. She sat next to Zhou Ziyang with her beautiful legs bent, her slender calves encased in black ankle boots that covered two-thirds of her calves.

I must say, her flushed face was actually quite alluring.

So Zhou Ziyang thought for a moment and said, "How about we play rock-paper-scissors? Whoever loses drinks?"

"Then I definitely can't beat you!" Xia Wei was quite self-aware.

Zhou Ziyang made a gesture and said, "Let's try it first."

Xia Wei pouted and played rock-paper-scissors with Zhou Ziyang three times in a row, losing all three times. Zhou Ziyang told her to hurry up and drink.

Xia Wei, however, said that Zhou Ziyang only knew how to bully her.

"Siyao,"

Qi Tao was talking incessantly to Lin Siyao, but when he looked up, he realized that Lin Siyao's attention was not on him at all; she was staring at Zhou Ziyang.

"Siyao, what are you thinking about?" Qi Tao couldn't help but ask Lin Siyao.

"Oh," Lin Siyao seemed to wake up from a dream, but she didn't talk to Qi Tao.

Instead, she said to Xia Wei, who was still planning to play rock-paper-scissors with Zhou Ziyang, "You're too stupid. He already knows your pattern. You'll definitely play paper next time."

"How did you know?" Xia Wei asked, slightly surprised.

It's not that Xia Wei is stupid, but she did drink quite a bit of alcohol, which made her mind dull and gave Zhou Ziyang an opportunity.

Zhou Ziyang's original intention was to change the subject, and so far, this move has been very successful.

Seeing Zhou Ziyang win several rounds in a row, Lin Siyao felt a little itchy to play herself, so she asked Xia Wei to come over.

"I'll avenge you!"

Xia Wei's face was flushed red. She was pushed over by Lin Siyao. Belatedly, she asked Lin Siyao if she could win.
Lin Siyao asked, "What's there to say about whether you can win or not?"

"Isn't rock-paper-scissors all about luck?"

Zhou Ziyang laughed and asked, "Are you sure you can beat me? If you lose, you have to drink."

"Laughing is like you not drinking if you lose."

"it is good."

Zhou Ziyang simply put his hands behind his back.

Lin Siyao felt no pressure in the first round. Having watched Zhou Ziyang and Xia Wei play several rounds, she had gained some understanding of Zhou Ziyang's punching patterns and felt confident of victory.

But no one expected that they would lose the first round of this simple game of rock-paper-scissors.

"?"

Lin Siyao was taken aback: "How is that possible?"

Zhou Ziyang laughed smugly and said, "Haha, you're nothing special. Are you going to have a drink?"

Lin Siyao said, "This round doesn't count. Let's play again, best two out of three!"

Zhou Ziyang frowned upon hearing this.

At this moment, Qi Tao and Zhang Dapeng were both watching. When Zhang Dapeng saw this scene, he couldn't help but grin and say, "What's wrong? Sister Yao, are you a sore loser?"

"What are you saying!" Upon hearing this, Lin Siyao immediately frowned.

Zhang Dapeng immediately covered his mouth and said, "I didn't say anything."

Zhou Ziyang said, "Don't bully them."

"What they said isn't wrong."

“What do you mean, I meant best two out of three, and if you lose, you have to drink three cups in a row,” Lin Siyao said immediately.

Zhang Dapeng said, "So you're still a sore loser, aren't you?"

Seeing Lin Siyao glaring at him, Zhang Dapeng immediately covered his mouth again. Lin Siyao looked at Zhou Ziyang, only to see him still smiling at her.

Lin Siyao thought for a moment, and then, quite decisively, picked up her glass and downed a beer in one gulp, turning the glass upside down to show Zhou Ziyang.

"Is that okay now? Let's try again!"

"Will it be two out of three this time?" Zhou Ziyang asked.

Lin Siyao said, "Yes! Best two out of three. Let's make it clear beforehand so you won't accuse me of cheating!"

"Row."

So Zhou Ziyang pretended to play rock-paper-scissors with her.

In reality, rock-paper-scissors is just a matter of probability.

This time, Zhou Ziyang was not so lucky; he lost the first game.

However, Zhou Ziyang won the second and third games.

"Wow!"

It was originally just a casual game, but when Lin Siyao said that the loser would have to drink three cups, it suddenly attracted everyone's interest, especially since Lin Siyao lost two rounds in a row.

The crowd immediately started to jeer.

Zhang Dapeng shouted the loudest.

"Sister Yao! You lost! Let's drink, let's drink! Damn it, Brother Tao, why did you hit me?"

Zhang Dapeng felt a punch to the chest from Qi Tao. He rubbed his chest and met Qi Tao's gaze, saying, "Why are you staring at me like that?"

Qi Tao said, "Don't you know how to cherish a beautiful woman?"

"I don't know how to be chivalrous, I only know that you have to accept the consequences of your bet, right, Sister Yao!"

Lin Siyao was really annoyed at this moment. She thought she had a chance to win this round, but who would have thought that she would be tormented by Zhou Ziyang again. Her face was already dark, and then Zhang Dapeng egged her on.

She could drink alcohol, but she was a little unwilling to drink three cups in one go.

Just as she was thinking of what other plans she could back out of, Qi Tao said, "Siyao, if you can't do it, then forget it. I'll drink it for you."

Zhou Ziyang chuckled softly upon hearing this.

Regardless of her motivation, Lin Siyao felt it was a form of mockery.

But then Zhou Ziyang said, "Yeah, if it doesn't work, let Qi Tao drink it for you."

Qi Tao heard this and prepared to pick up his wine glass and drink it.

"Put it down."

But who knew that Lin Siyao would actually make Qi Tao put down his drink, and without even thinking, she downed three cups in a row. Zhang Dapeng must have been cheering her on, and even Xia Wei and Shen Xin were surprised.

But Lin Siyao boldly wiped her cherry-like lips and said, "Again!"

"Are you sure?" Zhou Ziyang asked with a smile.

"Stop talking nonsense, let's go again, and you're not allowed to let anyone else take your place!"

I didn't realize Lin Siyao was so competitive.

Zhou Ziyang said, "Okay then, beer won't make you drunk anyway."

So Zhou Ziyang continued playing this simplest rock-paper-scissors game with Lin Siyao. They played several rounds in a row, and Zhou Ziyang won every time. Several times, and even once, Lin Siyao had won two rounds in a row and felt that victory was in sight. Who would have thought that she would lose again later?

"what!"

Lin Siyao was furious. She didn't even pour the wine anymore; she just blew straight from the bottle, and the loser had to drink half a bottle!

Zhou Ziyang had no objections.

Qi Tao became somewhat anxious upon seeing Lin Siyao's condition.

He said, "Yaoyao, you can't drink like this. How about I drink two glasses for you?"

"Get out! I don't need your help." Lin Siyao was genuinely a little drunk at this point.

However, the worse a person is at their skill level, the more addicted they become.

Lin Siyao drank several cups in a row, and her peach blossom eyes even turned red from the alcohol.

She asked Zhou Ziyang if he knew any other games.

What did Zhou Ziyang ask?

Lin Siyao said that playing Texas Hold'em or dice would be fine.

"Let's go somewhere else,"

Zhou Ziyang laughed upon hearing this, saying, "I didn't realize that Sister Yao was still a woman of the martial arts world."

"Stop talking nonsense, are you going or not!"

Lin Siyao's addiction was really strong. She couldn't understand why she had lost several rounds in a row in such a simple game as rock-paper-scissors, when she had always been lucky.

She was unwilling to accept defeat and wanted to get her revenge.

Zhou Ziyang thought Lin Siyao looked like a gambling addict.

Xia Wei had also drunk herself into a stupor and fallen asleep. Zhou Ziyang said, "How about we call it a day? It's getting late."

"No, let's go somewhere else. Are you scared?" Lin Siyao's mind was already clouded by alcohol.

Zhou Ziyang laughed and said, "You're already asking for drinks?"
"Stop talking nonsense, it's really uncertain who'll be drinking next!"

Zhou Ziyang said, "Let's call it a day. I have something to do later."

"Yes, let's stop here."

Seeing Lin Siyao's condition, no one dared to let her drink any more.

But people are strange like that. The more people told her not to drink more, the more she felt that they thought she was bad at drinking. Lin Siyao always felt that it was a matter of probability. Even if she was bad at rock-paper-scissors, she should be fine at dice.

So she wanted to prove that she was really capable.

Zhou Ziyang said, "Okay, I admit you're very capable."

"That's it for today."

The more Zhou Ziyang said this, the more anxious Lin Siyao became.

The key point is that Zhou Ziyang kept saying, "You're drunk, let's stop here."

Lin Siyao said, "I'm not drunk."

"Yes, yes, you're not drunk."

Everyone agreed with her, saying she wasn't drunk.

Seeing this, Lin Siyao felt like she was about to cry from anger.

Zhou Ziyang said, "That's enough for today."

"Tomorrow, let's go somewhere else to drink. Anyway, I'm not leaving."

If Zhou Ziyang said he would drink it another day, Lin Siyao might feel that Zhou Ziyang was just making excuses for her.

But Zhou Ziyang's suggestion of tomorrow made Lin Siyao's words more believable.

Lin Siyao asked, "Really?"

"Of course it's true, why would I lie to you? It'll just be the two of us tomorrow, can't we just drink alone?"

Qi Tao became anxious upon hearing this.

Zhou Ziyang gave him a look, and he calmed down.

Lin Siyao thought about it for a moment and felt it was appropriate; her head was a little dizzy today.

"Then tomorrow, we'll drink alone,"

"Okay, let me take you home first."

Xia Wei was initially the most drunk, her face flushed, but later it turned out that Lin Siyao was even more drunk, needing Shen Xin to help her walk.

In this situation, Lin Siyao insisted that she was not drunk and did not need help.

After Zhou Ziyang paid for the meal, the group left the hot pot restaurant.

Lin Siyao kept insisting that she wasn't drunk, while shouting at Zhou Ziyang, "Zhou Ziyang! Don't forget tomorrow!"

"Don't worry, I'll remember tomorrow."

Zhou Ziyang also helped Xia Wei, but Xia Wei was in better condition.

It was a bit cold outside, and Xia Wei couldn't help but snuggle into Zhou Ziyang's arms.

She hugged Zhou Ziyang's neck tightly and said she missed him.

Upon seeing this, the others instinctively avoided eye contact.

Zhou Ziyang found the kitten-like girl in front of him amusing. When no one was looking, he secretly said to Xia Wei, "After you take Lin Siyao back to her dorm, sneak out again."

"?" Xia Wei was stunned. She was half-drunk, but at this moment she was completely sober.

You know, women who have been drinking are really strange. Xia Wei hadn't expected anything to happen between her and Zhou Ziyang today.

But after hearing Zhou Ziyang say this, the people below immediately felt something.

Xia Wei's eyes shone brightly as she looked at Zhou Ziyang.

Zhou Ziyang simply smiled.

"Old Zhou, are you sure you can manage on your own? Need any help?"

"It's alright, Xia Wei is almost sober now."

Zhou Ziyang said.

Fortunately, this hot pot restaurant is not far from the school.

The boys first escorted the girls back to their dormitories.

Halfway there, Lin Siyao had sobered up quite a bit, but she kept insisting that she wasn't drunk.

When they passed by a convenience store, Qi Tao bought some yogurt and gave it to Shen Xin, asking her to remember to give some to Lin Siyao, as it would help her sober up.

And so, they were taken to their dormitory building.

Zhou Ziyang winked at Xia Wei, indicating, "Then you guys go up first, we need to go back too."

"Yes, thank you for your hard work," Shen Xin and Xia Wei said, supporting Lin Siyao on either side.

Qi Tao waved to Shen Xin while reminding her, "Remember to make sure Siyao drinks some yogurt."

After seeing the girl off, Zhang Dapeng breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile, "Brother Tao, I didn't expect your goddess to be an alcoholic."

"She just couldn't accept losing to Lao Zhou. Lao Zhou, you shouldn't have let her win."

Zhou Ziyang said that rock-paper-scissors is a matter of probability.

"How do you know I didn't give way? I couldn't give way even if I wanted to."

“Exactly!” Zhang Dapeng chimed in, supporting Zhou Ziyang.

"You two." Qi Tao didn't know what to say for a moment.

Zhou Ziyang chuckled lightly as he walked with Qi Tao and Zhang Dapeng for a while.

On the way, Qi Tao asked Zhou Ziyang a question.

"You just told Lin Siyao that you're going to have a drink with her alone tomorrow, is that true or not?"

"It's definitely fake. I'd have to invite you for drinks too!"

"You're a true brother!" Qi Tao was actually a little moved by these words.

Zhou Ziyang smiled and said, "Alright, I'm not talking to you guys anymore."

"I'm home."

"Huh? You're not staying in the dorm tonight?"

"Yeah, I haven't lived in the dorm for a month. I'd have to clean up if I went back now, so I might as well go home."

"Well, okay, I was thinking of talking to you." Hearing that Zhou Ziyang didn't live in the dormitory, Qi Tao felt a little lost.

Seeing Qi Tao's expression, Zhang Dapeng said, "Damn, Brother Tao, do you have to be like this? Brother Zhou isn't a woman."

"What? I just haven't seen Lao Zhou in so long, I miss him a bit."

"Don't be like that, you're getting more and more outrageous."

Qi Tao thought about it and realized it was true. He scratched his head a little embarrassedly.

After that, the group said goodbye.

After watching them leave, Zhou Ziyang returned to the girls' dormitory.

When he found no one downstairs in the girls' dormitory, Zhou Ziyang was puzzled and thought that Xia Wei had not understood what he meant.

"Eh!"

It wasn't until Xia Wei, who was hiding in the corner of the dormitory, called out.

Zhou Ziyang turned his head and saw Xia Wei hiding there.

Zhou Ziyang chuckled: "What are you doing hiding there?"

"I'm not afraid of being seen by others and it having a bad influence. Jiang Menghan used to be in the same dormitory building as us."

Zhou Ziyang said, "You're just feeling guilty."

"Being a mistress has become a professional practice."

"What nonsense are you talking about!" Xia Wei blushed and glared at Zhou Ziyang.

Zhou Ziyang had already walked to Xia Wei's side. After looking around and finding that there weren't many people around, he simply pressed Xia Wei against the wall and started kissing her.

"Um, what are you doing?"

Xia Wei's cheeks flushed slightly, and she asked with her mouth slightly open.

Zhou Ziyang pressed her against the wall in the shade, his large hand directly on her white sweater, kneading it repeatedly. He rested his hand on Xia Wei's fragrant shoulder and whispered in her ear, "Don't you think this is more exciting?"

As he spoke, he breathed a warm breath into Xia Wei's ear.
