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

Chapter 94 Jiang Menghan's Flattery
"???"

Everyone turned to look at Zhou Ziyang without prior arrangement.

No, people are a little confused.

Even Liu Jiahao was included.

The look in his eyes as he looked at Zhou Ziyang at this moment was a mixture of emotions.

Honestly, when Zhou Ziyang was ordering, Liu Jiahao cursed Zhou Ziyang in his mind, thinking how could this young man be so ignorant of etiquette!
No, it's not like you're treating.

Why did you order so much food?

Watching Li Chumei and Wang Rouxin chatting with Zhou Ziyang during the meal, Liu Jiahao felt even more uneasy.

"No, Ziyang, how can I let you pay for this!"

All the anger vanished in an instant, and instead, Liu Jiahao felt a strange unease.

This saved me 500 yuan from further losses.

And they even got a free meal.

During the meal, everyone felt that since Liu Jiahao had treated them, they were giving him some emotional support.

Who would have thought that Zhou Ziyang would actually pay the bill after the meal?

Not to mention Liu Jiahao, even the other people who had no connection with Zhou Ziyang, and who had just thought that Zhou Ziyang was impolite for coming over to freeload and ordering random things, felt guilty.

Goodness, no wonder they dared to click randomly.

Turns out they have the real strength.

Yes, that's really inappropriate.
“Give me your Alipay account, and I’ll transfer the money to you!” Liu Jiahao said firmly.

Zhou Ziyang said that wasn't necessary.

"Menghan and I are the youngest here, and besides, I ordered the food, so it's only right that I pay. The main thing is that all the senior students eat well." Since the money has already been spent, it doesn't matter if I say a few nice words.

Everyone remembers Zhou Ziyang's kindness now.

Both Li Chumei and Wang Rouxin were quite impressed with Zhou Ziyang.

Only Liu Jiahao had a complicated expression on his face. On one hand, he was relieved that he had spent less money, and on the other hand, he felt regretful that he hadn't been able to show off.

Most importantly, he was afraid of people talking about him behind his back.

He kept saying that this was really inappropriate.

"How about this, since it's still early, I'll treat you to karaoke?"

"Okay~"

As soon as Liu Jiahao finished speaking, everyone cheered. With so many entertainment activities right at the start of the semester, how could they not applaud?

In fact, Liu Jiahao's original idea was to take everyone to sing karaoke after dinner.

Putting everything else aside, just the fact that Wang Rouxin and Li Chumei were there for this gathering makes it all worthwhile to go singing.

However, when it came time to eat, Zhou Ziyang ordered too much food, which meant that his budget was limited, so he could only think of having a meal.

Now that Zhou Ziyang has paid for the meal, he'll definitely treat everyone to karaoke.

To salvage some of his reputation as vice president.

Zhou Ziyang originally planned to go back to school after dinner, but who could have imagined that wave after wave of enthusiasm would arise? It seems that everyone is very enthusiastic. When Wang Rouxin heard that they were going to sing, she immediately clapped her hands in agreement and said, "You should have said you wanted to sing earlier!"

"If you had told me you wanted to sing, I would have brought more kids from our department out to play. It would have been so much fun!"

Wang Rouxin is the head of the Arts and Literature Department, so her department members must all be beautiful young women.

Upon hearing this, Liu Jiahao immediately said, "It's not too late for you to call now."

"Go~"

Listening to Wang Rouxin and Liu Jiahao's conversation, Zhou Ziyang couldn't help but chuckle, thinking to himself that, as expected, there are always unchanging rules no matter the occasion.

Jiang Menghan asked Zhou Ziyang what he was laughing at.
Zhou Ziyang shook his head and said it was nothing.

"Do you want to sing?" Zhou Ziyang asked.

"me."

As Jiang Menghan spoke, a smile involuntarily crept onto her lips.

That's true, she's only eighteen, the age when she loves to have fun.

In addition, the current group consists of upperclassmen and women from the student council, which represents an upward social movement for them.

She was definitely thinking of going along to play.

By this time, they had already decided where to go for karaoke, and Li Chumei came over to ask Zhou Ziyang if he wanted to come along.

"Won't this interfere with your other things?"

Zhou Ziyang said, "What could possibly happen to me?"

“It might interfere with your novel writing,” Li Chumei said.

Zhou Ziyang smiled but didn't reply.

So the group moved from the barbecue restaurant to a karaoke bar.

There are only a few karaoke bars in the university town. I messaged Li Dongfeng in the car to ask about it, and it turned out there really was one.

Li Dongfeng heard that Zhou Ziyang was coming to sing.

She immediately said happily, "Brother, go to the front desk and mention my name. I've topped up my card here!"

"That's not necessary."

Zhou Ziyang thought to himself, "I've already spent over 500 yuan on barbecue. Wouldn't it be stupid to spend my own money on this too?"

Okay, even though it's not my own money, that's still not acceptable.

Liu Jiahao was genuinely happy now that he hadn't had to pay for the meal, and his gaze towards Zhou Ziyang was no longer so displeased.

While sitting in the elevator at the karaoke bar, Liu Jiahao grinned and said to Zhou Ziyang, "Ziyang, you absolutely mustn't pay this time."

Wang Rouxin scoffed at this and said, "This time, we definitely can't let Xiao Zhou pay!"
"If Xiao Zhou is really going to pay, you should transfer the money to him too."

Liu Jiahao smiled wryly upon hearing this and said, "That's not what I meant."

“I know the owner of this KTV, so I can get an insider price. I'm just worried that Ziyang might be reckless and end up paying for nothing, like when we eat barbecue. I know the owner, so I can definitely get a discount if I pay. He probably took advantage of you because you looked nice. Did he give you a discount?”

Liu Jiahao asked with great sincerity.

Zhou Ziyang hesitated for a moment, unable to answer, mainly because he had paid for the services of all four companies together, so how could he possibly know?

"See? Young man, don't be so impulsive in the future. Let me tell you, there are too many twists and turns in this society. Ziyang, you'll learn slowly from me." As he spoke, Liu Jiahao patted Zhou Ziyang on the shoulder.

Wang Rouxin chuckled and said that Senior Jiahao knew more.

"Xiao Zhou, you should learn more from Senior Jiahao."

Liu Jiahao was laughing over there.

After arriving at the KTV lobby, Liu Jiahao went to the front desk to book a room while the others waited there.

The KTV lobby was decorated in an extremely luxurious style. Wang Rouxin stood with her beautiful legs crossed on the polished floor.

"I knew I'd wear black stockings, so I'd look better in the photos~"

At the moment, Zhou Ziyang was the only man beside Wang Rouxin, and it was unclear what she meant by those words. However, upon hearing them, Zhou Ziyang did subconsciously glance at her legs.

At this moment, Wang Rouxin also looked at Zhou Ziyang, and after their eyes met, they both smiled.

Wang Rouxin's smile seemed to say, "What are you looking at?"

Zhou Ziyang's smile, however, was somewhat awkward.

Zhou Ziyang said, "White stockings look pretty good too."

"So, do you prefer black or white stockings?"

"Ahem." Zhou Ziyang felt that he couldn't talk about this topic any longer.

The main reason is that Jiang Menghan was also there.

From the very beginning, Jiang Menghan felt that Wang Rouxin was talking strangely, but Jiang Menghan thought she was just overthinking it.

Looking at it now, I realize I wasn't overthinking it.

Wang Rouxin is indeed a bit of a green tea bitch.
Liu Jiahao booked a room there and had someone take them there.

After entering the room, the waiter brought over two cases of beer.

Liu Jiahao asked Zhou Ziyang, "Guess how much this room would cost with drinks?"
Zhou Ziyang asked how much it cost.

Liu Jiahao said that if you were to place the order, it would cost at least 500 yuan.

“But since it’s me, it only costs three hundred yuan.” Liu Jiahao held up three fingers.

Zhou Ziyang responded with an "oh".

Li Chumei was also puzzled and said, "Hey, why is your room so expensive?"
Liu Jiahao explained that the private rooms were not expensive, but the drinks were.

Li Chumei added that there was actually no need to order drinks.

Liu Jiahao said it was a minor issue.

Zhou Ziyang was already sitting down and playing on his phone when he entered the private room.

Jiang Menghan then sat down next to him.

Zhou Ziyang sent a message to Li Dongfeng asking how much it cost to book the room.

Li Dongfeng said he recharged a card with 500 yuan, and the member price is 29 yuan per hour.

Zhou Ziyang thought to himself, "That's even cheaper than Liu Jiahao booking a private room."

"Didn't you order any drinks?"

"Who the hell would be so brain-dead as to order alcohol at a karaoke bar? Everyone brings their own from outside (grinning)."

Zhou Ziyang laughed when he saw the message.

Jiang Menghan stared wide-eyed, curious about what Zhou Ziyang was looking at, and laughed.

Zhou Ziyang showed his phone to Jiang Menghan, who chuckled as she saw it.

Liu Jiahao was still setting up a feast and playing dice with his classmates.

Wang Rouxin, however, had already started taking the microphone to request songs.

Despite being a junior in college, she still maintains a cute, girlish heart.

Her voice is also quite sweet.

The first song she sang was Xu Song's "If You Become the Wind".

Her slender legs, encased in white stockings, treaded lightly as she sang in a sweet voice:

The old master is wearing a wig~
I don't want this nonsense about bound feet!
I want to dance the cha-cha with you in a miniskirt~
I want to take you home to meet my mom~
I must say, watching her short skirt sway is actually quite cute.

Before he could even finish singing two lines, a man who looked like a marketing professional suddenly pushed open the door and walked in.

Looking around, I thought to myself, wow, there are so many beautiful women.

"Brother Yong!" At this moment, Liu Jiahao recognized the person and called out.

"Hey, brother."

The marketing guy's eyes lit up immediately, and he put his arm around Liu Jiahao like they were best buddies.

After exchanging a few polite words, the salesperson said to the waiter next to him, "Bring a fruit platter to this room!"

"Hey~ How can you do that, Yong-ge!"

"Hey, isn't it only right for a brother to come over? Which one of you is your sister-in-law?"

Liu Jiahao grinned and said, "What are you saying, Brother Yong? We're all friends."

"Oh, friend, I'm the operations director of this KTV. Here's my business card. Here, come on." With that, Zhang Yong started handing out business cards.

The marketing strategies of KTVs and hair salons are actually quite similar: they spray cheap perfume, wear skinny jeans that expose their ankles, and their business cards are all black, scented, and have the words "Operations Director" printed on them.

When he handed his business card to Zhou Ziyang, Zhou Ziyang accepted it. Then he wanted to give Jiang Menghan a business card as well.

Zhou Ziyang said she didn't need it.

"Oh, okay~" Anyone who can make a living here must have some sense. Seeing that Jiang Menghan had a boyfriend, he didn't continue handing out business cards.

Instead, he handed out business cards to Wang Rouxin and the others.

They also stated that mentioning one's name when booking a room would entitle one to a discount.

"We're all just men of the jungle, it's all in the drinks~" After handing out his business cards, Zhang Yong casually picked up an already opened bottle of beer from the table, then held it with both hands and spun it around vigorously.
This might be a routine performance for them.

Occasionally, you might even get a compliment.

But this private room was full of students, and he played this trick on them.

So the other students really looked at him like he was an idiot.

Then Jiang Menghan whispered to Zhou Ziyang, "He's drinking our wine."

Zhou Ziyang chuckled upon hearing this.

Look at Jiang Menghan's innocent little expression.

Zhou Ziyang couldn't help but pinch her nose and say, "They've already given you a fruit platter, why are you being so stingy?"

Jiang Menghan pouted.

Zhang Yong stayed in the private room for more than ten minutes, seemingly intending to stay and play with them, but eventually left reluctantly after realizing he couldn't play any more games.

The fruit platter arrived just as they were leaving, so Zhang Yong greeted Liu Jiahao and said, "Okay, my brother, you guys have some fun."

"I have other things to do."

Liu Jiahao seemed to treat Zhang Yong very politely, after all, it was through his personal connections, and he even gave him a fruit platter, which Liu Jiahao considered a great honor.

After Zhang Yong left, the atmosphere in the room became much more lively.

Wang Rouxin didn't sing "If You Become the Wind" properly, so she kept nagging that she wanted to sing it again.

The student council members were very tolerant of Wang Rouxin, so they let her have her way and sang it again.

After Wang Rouxin finished singing, she handed the microphone to Li Chumei, wanting Li Chumei to sing along.

To be honest, although they had worked in the student union for three years, they rarely got together.

Furthermore, even if they did get together, they weren't department leaders during their freshman and sophomore years, so it wouldn't be their home turf in this kind of situation.

So this is the first time I've had a gathering like this since I became the leader of various student departments.

Therefore, the group didn't know much about each other's interests and hobbies.

Li Chumei rarely sings when participating in such events.

However, this time Wang Rouxin was really difficult to deal with, insisting that Li Chumei sing a song no matter what.

Li Chumei couldn't refuse any longer, so she said, "Then please play me Hiroshima Mon Amour."

"Hiroshima Mon Amour?"

What song is that? Does it exist?

Some people haven't heard this song, but others do remember it.

"Yes, there are." Liu Jiahao helped Li Chumei select a song, then said it seemed to be a song from Hong Kong.

"It's such an old song." Someone else recalled that there seemed to be such a song.

"How old?"

"97 years."

Upon hearing this, Jiang Menghan immediately exclaimed, "My God, we're the same age!"

Jiang Menghan looked at Li Chumei holding the microphone and preparing to sing, and couldn't help but mutter, "These are the songs my parents' generation listened to, right?"

The voice wasn't loud, but it expressed what most people were thinking, and everyone couldn't help but laugh at that moment.

Even Li Chumei smiled.

Indeed, this song is a bit too old.

After the intro music ends, the subtitles will indicate the male and female parts.

Liu Jiahao said, "Huh, this is a duet song between boys and girls! Does anyone know how to sing it?"

The group of boys from the student council all shook their heads, saying that the song was too old.

Just as Li Chumei was preparing to sing a solo.

But then Zhou Ziyang picked up the microphone and started singing the male part: You should have rejected me a long time ago.
When Zhou Ziyang opened his mouth, everyone was somewhat surprised.

It's already unbelievable that Li Chumei, born in 95, can sing this song.

As a result, Zhou Ziyang, who was born in 97, was able to sing so well?

Just as everyone was surprised, Zhou Ziyang had finished singing the male part and gestured for Li Chumei to continue singing.

"Hiroshima Mon Amour" is a classic duet song for couples, and also a famous song about infidelity.

Around 2000, karaoke became popular in mainland China. Then, with economic development, colleagues liked to go out to sing and dance after get off work.

These people all had families, but this song, which is perfect for a duet, has broken up countless families.

The lyrics feel like they were written for people who cheat.

The very first sentence is something like, "You should have rejected me long ago, you shouldn't have let me pursue you."

The gist of the female lyrics is that time cannot be turned back, so we should cherish our 24-hour love!

The boys sang even more passionately, "Crossing the borders of morality, venturing into the forbidden zones of love."

In short, this song is truly a famous song about infidelity. Ironically, the melody is very catchy, and it also resonated with the social atmosphere at the time, so the song had a profound influence.

At first, everyone thought it was just a famous old song, but as they listened to it, something felt off.

Most importantly, couples should interact when singing together, such as looking at each other.

Li Chumei was initially very happy, feeling that her interests were too high and she was now finding someone who shared her hobbies and was able to sing the song in its entirety.

But as he sang...

He and Zhou Ziyang remained staring at each other.

Suddenly I felt a little dazed, and for a moment I didn't know if Zhou Ziyang was speaking from the heart or just reciting lyrics.

The dim lighting in this KTV makes it easy for ambiguous situations to arise.

When the two looked at each other, it was undeniable that Li Chumei did experience a slight flutter of emotion.

Fortunately, Wang Rouxin kept egging them on.

The plot hasn't progressed further yet.

After that, Li Chumei didn't dare to look Zhou Ziyang in the eye and hurriedly finished singing the song.

Li Chumei still felt a slight flutter in her heart.

After Zhou Ziyang finished singing the song, he returned to his seat. At this point, Jiang Menghan was indeed a little unhappy.

To be honest, before looking for Zhou Ziyang, Jiang Menghan was only moved by what Zhou Ziyang said on Campus Voice and decided to find him to explain things properly.

But along the way, from meals to karaoke...

Jiang Menghan noticed that many girls seemed to have some kind of 'interest' in their boyfriends.

This made Jiang Menghan feel a sense of crisis.

It seems that as soon as she breaks up with Zhou Ziyang, Zhou Ziyang can find a girlfriend.

So at this moment, Jiang Menghan was not just jealous, but more afraid.

Seeing that Jiang Menghan was standing there blankly without saying a word, Zhou Ziyang asked her what she was thinking about.

Only then did Jiang Menghan awaken from her mental trance.

Seeing Zhou Ziyang sitting next to her, she quickly hugged his waist and snuggled into his arms, asking sweetly, "How come you can sing such old songs?"

Zhou Ziyang said with a smile that when he was a child, he would just watch VCDs whenever he had nothing to do at home, and he learned by watching them.

Jiang Menghan just hugged Zhou Ziyang without saying a word, her big, watery eyes staring straight at him.

Zhou Ziyang asked her what was wrong.

She still didn't speak.

So Zhou Ziyang leaned closer, and she whispered to him: "It feels like you can do everything."

Zhou Ziyang said, "That's just your imagination."

"I can only say that it just happens to be useful."

Zhou Ziyang smiled and chatted leisurely with Jiang Menghan.

At this moment, Jiang Menghan, emboldened by some unknown source, actually sat up and kissed Zhou Ziyang when he wasn't paying attention.

"?"

You should know that right now, the private room is full of student council members.

She's not afraid of dying for society by doing this.

Jiang Menghan just smiled and winked.

Before Zhou Ziyang could react, she asked for a kiss again.

Unfortunately, Zhou Ziyang rejected him.

Jiang Menghan was puzzled, and her playful expression gradually turned into one of grievance.

Zhou Ziyang, however, said that they were all people.

"You were scared when there were security cameras in the movie theater before. These are all people, aren't you scared?" Zhou Ziyang joked.

This is a moment.

That time, the movie theater was considered Jiang Menghan and Zhou Ziyang's first date, and Jiang Menghan must have been shy.

At this moment, Jiang Menghan wanted to announce to everyone that Zhou Ziyang was her boyfriend.

So she didn't respond to Zhou Ziyang's teasing, but instead wrapped her arms around his neck and kissed him again.

She was so bold, it's impossible that the people around her didn't see it.

All I can say is that girls these days are really proactive.

Seeing how beautiful and generous Jiang Menghan was this morning, I thought she must be the dominant one in their relationship. But now it seems that's not the case.

To be honest, Li Chumei did feel a flutter in her heart for a moment when she was singing with Zhou Ziyang.

But after the song ended, Li Chumei felt much calmer. She had originally wanted to come over and talk to Zhou Ziyang.

Seeing the two kissing so oblivious to everyone else, he simply stopped coming over.

Zhou Ziyang let Jiang Menghan kiss him for a while, but when he realized that Jiang Menghan was even trying to stick out her tongue...

This really startled Zhou Ziyang.

No, you weren't like this before, Menghan.

Zhou Ziyang quickly pushed Jiang Menghan away, looking at her in shock.

Jiang Menghan simply stuck out her tongue playfully.

She found that kissing her boyfriend in a corner of a karaoke bar was actually quite exciting.

Zhou Ziyang told her she couldn't do that, because everyone around was watching.

So Jiang Menghan thought for a moment and whispered to Zhou Ziyang, "How about we go outside?"

"?"

Jiang Menghan smiled and said, "Let's go out for a sit."

Seeing that Zhou Ziyang did not agree.

Jiang Menghan then clasped her hands together, pleading, "Please, please."

Zhou Ziyang felt helpless seeing Jiang Menghan like this.

After thinking about it, I agreed.
