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

Chapter 113 Everyone Wants to Pretend
Xu Yiyang returned to school on the 30th. As soon as he got back, he couldn't wait to drive his family's BMW 5 Series to the dormitory building. It took some effort to get the car to school.

Fortunately, it was close to the National Day holiday, so the school wasn't too strict about managing outside vehicles.

He deliberately parked his 5 Series in the most conspicuous spot downstairs, and then excitedly went upstairs.

But they found Zhang Dapeng sitting on a stool, grinning as he watched a movie on his laptop over Qi Tao's side.

Xu Yiyang was somewhat disappointed to find that Zhou Ziyang was not in the dormitory: "Where is Zhou Ziyang?"

"I don't know, he hasn't stayed in the dormitory for two days," Qi Tao replied.

"He doesn't live in the dorm? Isn't it said that all freshmen have to live in the dorm?" Xu Yiyang suddenly became anxious. When he first started school, he asked his counselor if he could rent a house outside.

As a result, Chen Xiaoai told him to give up the idea as soon as possible.

For the sake of management convenience, students are not allowed to live off-campus during their first semester.

After all that was said, Zhou Ziyang actually stayed out all night? How dare he!

"Who knows?"

"They have a house outside." Qi Tao and Zhang Dapeng were also only vaguely aware of the situation, but they seemed to have heard Zhou Ziyang mention it when they went to see a movie together.

"Does Zhou Ziyang own a house outside?"

Xu Yiyang had originally planned to drive over in his BMW 5 Series to show off, but as soon as he entered the house and heard this news, his face immediately fell. He wondered what Zhou Ziyang did for a living and how he could be so rich.

Xu Yiyang was a little frustrated; he couldn't show off anymore.

He tossed the BMW keys onto the table, somewhat disappointed, and pulled out half a pack of cigarettes from his pocket.

At this moment, Qi Tao and Zhang Dapeng, who were watching the movie, also noticed the keys that Xu Yiyang had thrown on the table.

Zhang Dapeng was the first to react: "Hey! Brother Yiyang! Not bad, you got a BMW 3 Series too!?"

"What BMW 3 Series! Look closely, this is a 5 Series!" Xu Yiyang exclaimed in alarm upon hearing this.

"5 Series!? What's a 5 Series? It's two series more than the BMW 3 Series?"

Zhang Dapeng knew absolutely nothing about cars. If Zhou Ziyang hadn't been driving a BMW 3 Series, he probably wouldn't even know what a BMW was. After hearing Xu Yiyang's words, Zhang Dapeng couldn't help but look at Qi Tao curiously, waiting for Qi Tao to explain it to him.

Before Qi Tao could explain, Xu Yiyang just rolled his eyes at what he said.

Speechless, really speechless.

What kind of people live in the dorm?
"Wasn't there supposed to be a big meeting? Isn't Zhou Ziyang coming back?" Xu Yiyang felt that showing off to these two was beneath him, so he was just waiting for Zhou Ziyang to return.

He mainly wanted to tell Zhou Ziyang that he wasn't without a car, and that his car was much more luxurious than Zhou's.

So next time I need to borrow your car, just lend it to me without hesitation.

It's not like I can't afford to pay it back.

At this moment, Qi Tao looked at the keys that Xu Yiyang had thrown on the table, and his heart was filled with mixed feelings.

You see, he came from the capital. In his worldview since childhood, people in Beijing were superior and people from other places were poor. But after he came out, he realized that he was just a frog in a well.

Having lived in the capital for so many years, I feel that apart from having a higher social status, I am inferior to others in every other way.

It's laughable now, but back in the summer I was bragging in the group chat that I was amazing because I went on a 10-day trip to Europe.

When I arrived, I found that everyone in the dorm had returned from studying abroad.

The car keys that Xu Yiyang left on the table dealt a heavy blow to Qi Tao, but Qi Tao still told Xu Yiyang, "I'm not sure when Lao Zhou will be back, but I reckon he'll just drive off to the big meeting."

"alright."

It's 1 p.m. right now, and the meeting starts at 2 p.m.

Xu Yiyang stayed in the dormitory for a while. When it was almost two o'clock, he saw Qi Tao and Zhang Dapeng preparing to leave. He then stubbed out the cigarette butt he had just finished smoking and followed them outside.

From their conversation, Zhang Dapeng and Qi Tao knew that Xu Yiyang had parked his car outside. So Zhang Dapeng was quite curious. As he went downstairs, he grinned and said, "Let's go down and see Yiyang's BMW 5 Series. I've never seen a BMW 5 Series before. I wonder how it differs from Lao Zhou's 3 Series!"

Xu Yiyang was quite pleased with these words.

I thought it must be much better than his car.

And so, they went downstairs and saw Xu Yiyang's BMW 5 Series parked by the flower bed.

Zhang Dapeng exclaimed in surprise, "Wow! This is a BMW 5 Series?!"
"It feels similar to Lao Zhou's 3 Series, just a bit bigger, but it doesn't look that good!"

Xu Yiyang had originally planned to show off with his BMW 5 Series, but after hearing what Zhang Dapeng said, his expression turned somewhat unpleasant.

As Zhang Dapeng spoke, he even reached out to touch it.

Seeing this, Xu Yiyang immediately became anxious and said, "Don't touch it! This car is worth over 500,000 yuan! Can you afford to pay for it if you damage it?"

Upon hearing this, Zhang Dapeng was startled and quickly withdrew his hand, exclaiming in shock, "No way? This car is that expensive?!"

"Otherwise, what did you think?" Xu Yiyang sneered.

He gave a low, cold snort, calling him a country bumpkin who had never seen the world.

After saying this, Xu Yiyang opened the car door, got in, and started the car.

He didn't mean to suggest that Qi Tao and Zhang Dapeng get on the bus.

As they went downstairs, both Qi Tao and Zhang Dapeng instinctively thought they could hitch a ride, but Xu Yiyang's attitude earlier made it impossible for them to ask.

They just watched helplessly as Xu Yiyang drove away in his 5 Series.

After Xu Yiyang left, Zhang Dapeng said dismissively, "What's so arrogant about him?"

"It's not like I earned it with my own money."

"I think his car isn't as good-looking as Lao Zhou's!"

This is Zhang Dapeng's honest opinion. Zhang Dapeng feels that he can still afford a BMW 3 Series after graduating from university with some effort, but he doesn't even dare to dream of owning a BMW 5 Series.

Of course, even if he had 500,000, he wouldn't use it to buy this piece of junk.

In Qi Tao's view, this was clearly a case of ignorance being bliss.

Qi Tao knew more than Zhang Dapeng, but he also suffered more. Watching the people around him drive luxury cars one after another was really hard for Qi Tao, who had a strong sense of self-respect.

It's about a five-minute walk from the dormitory to the auditorium.

Qi Tao and Zhang Dapeng walked over like that. On the way, Zhang Dapeng kept talking about what kind of car he would drive in the future, and even asked Qi Tao what kind of car he would drive in the future.

Qi Tao told Zhang Dapeng that the car was just a means of transportation.

"People from our area don't care about these things."

Zhang Dapeng said, "Open and straightforward, that's why they call themselves people from the capital!"

After a brief chat, we arrived at the entrance of the auditorium.

They discovered that Xu Yiyang wasn't in a hurry to go inside; instead, he was wiping his luxury car, as if afraid there wouldn't be a speck of dust on it.

To be honest, the BMW 5 Series is really expensive, but it's also really understated.

It's a bit bigger than the 3 Series, but it's not very conspicuous when parked on the side of the road.

Of course, if Xu Yiyang were standing next to him, he would still attract some attention.

For example, Xia Wei, Lin Siyao, and Shen Xin, who came together, noticed Xu Yiyang.

In fact, only Shen Xin really noticed Xu Yiyang; Xia Wei and Lin Siyao didn't even know that there was such a person in the class.

Shen Xin also saw Xu Yiyang's file while in the office.

But she wasn't sure, so she whispered to Xia Wei and Lin Siyao that the boy seemed to be from their class.

Just then, Zhang Dapeng and Qi Tao arrived.

They knew these two people, and were even quite familiar with them.

"Brother Tao, you're my goddess!" Zhang Dapeng said with a grin.

Qi Tao rolled his eyes at him.

He looked at Lin Siyao, but didn't know whether he should greet her.

He had the intention to illuminate the moon, but the moon shone on the ditch.

As expected, Lin Siyao only gave him a cold look before turning her head away.

Shen Xin, on the other hand, always stood by her classmates, taking the initiative to greet them and asking, "Hey, why haven't you guys waited for Zhou Ziyang these past few days?"

Zhang Dapeng said, "It's a misunderstanding, squad leader. We wanted to wait for Lao Zhou, but the problem is that Lao Zhou doesn't sleep in the dormitory for most of the time."

"Zhou Ziyang isn't in the dorm?" Xia Wei suddenly interjected after hearing this.

"Yeah! You didn't know?" Zhang Dapeng felt that Xia Wei, being Zhou Ziyang's ex-girlfriend, should know the news.

He was chatting with Qi Tao last night, saying that Lao Zhou doesn't come back to the dormitory every day, whether he takes Jiang Menghan or Xia Wei out.
Qi Tao said, "Are you stupid? Xia Wei is Zhou Ziyang's ex-girlfriend."

"If we're going to bring someone, it'll definitely be Jiang Menghan!"

Now it seems that Qi Tao was right.

"How could I possibly know!" Xia Wei glared at Zhang Dapeng, feeling that this boy was acting strangely.

Zhang Dapeng was even more baffled.

No, are all pretty women this short-tempered?
At this moment, Xu Yiyang, who had been smoking by the car, saw an acquaintance and walked over, asking Qi Tao and Zhang Dapeng, "Zhou Ziyang hasn't arrived yet?"

Qi Tao said he didn't know.

No one here knows Zhou Ziyang's whereabouts.

To be honest, this was the first time these girls had seen Xu Yiyang.

Xu Yiyang had noticed the three girls from his class from a great distance.

He had seen Li Chumei before, as they had played cards together in the cafeteria.

Of the three girls, Lin Siyao had the longest legs. She wore a dark blue denim mini skirt and black boots, and had a cool and aloof expression.

Xia Wei, on the other hand, wore a white layered dress, revealing her beautiful, flawless legs.

To be honest, Xu Yiyang wasn't interested in either of the two girls. He preferred Shen Xin, who was quiet and clean, and had a bit of Li Chumei's vibe.

He noticed Shen Xin at first glance.

He also noticed that Shen Xin glanced at him.

Xu Yiyang thought to himself, "My BMW 5 Series is still somewhat useful."

But those three girls were so blind, they didn't even glance at it.

Not only do they ignore themselves, but they also manage to chat with those two idiots, Qi Tao and Qi Tao.

It's like seeing a ghost in broad daylight!

Having no other choice, Xu Yiyang had to go up to them himself and take the initiative to speak.

"Do you think it's okay for me to park my car here?" Xu Yiyang asked again.

Qi Tao said he didn't know.

"I've never driven a car either, you'll have to ask Zhou Ziyang about that."

Shen Xin did indeed have the approachability of a leader. Xu Yiyang inadvertently joined their conversation, and Xia Wei and Lin Siyao didn't really pay attention to the boy. Shen Xin, however, took the initiative to ask with a smile, "Are you Xu Yiyang?"

"You know me?" Xu Yiyang couldn't help but feel even more favorably toward Shen Xin.

Shen Xin smiled again and said, "I've seen your profile. It seems you're in the same dorm as Zhou Ziyang and the others?"

"Well, I don't usually stay in dorms. I'm not used to living in dorms. I studied abroad before," Xu Yiyang said.

"Oh, hehe." Shen Xin nodded.

She was a little confused as to why everyone was standing outside the auditorium.
"Should we go in first?"

After Shen Xin reminded them, the others nodded and said, "Let's go in first."

Xu Yiyang frowned and said, "Zhou Ziyang hasn't arrived yet, has he?"

The group exchanged glances, somewhat puzzled by Xu Yiyang's meaning.

Are Xu Yiyang and Zhou Ziyang really that close?

"How do you know he didn't come?" Xia Wei, who hadn't spoken until now, asked.

Xu Yiyang chuckled and said that he wasn't in the dormitory.

“He must have driven here, that’s why I didn’t see his BMW 3 Series.” Xu Yiyang emphasized the BMW 3 Series very much.

Lin Siyao rolled her eyes when she heard this.

Shen Xin seemed to have figured out Xu Yiyang's personality as well. Hearing this, she could only smile awkwardly and say, "Let's go in first, and we can find Zhou Ziyang when he arrives."

"Then you guys go in first, I'll wait for Zhou Ziyang here," Xu Yiyang said.

"You and Zhou Ziyang are such good friends?" Shen Xin asked with a smile. "So-so."

At this moment, none of the people responded to Xu Yiyang's words, but they exchanged glances and couldn't help but smile.

That is, when they were about to go in.

Just then, a Panamera in a volcanic ash color slowly drove towards them.

In terms of driving experience alone, Zhou Ziyang felt that there was no difference between a Porsche costing over a million yuan and a BMW costing over three hundred thousand yuan. He originally thought that the Porsche logo was not as well-known as the BMW logo.

As a result, when I drove into the school, some people on the roadside noticed that there were even people pointing and discussing it, saying, "Look, Panamera."

There were no designated parking spaces in front of the auditorium, so Zhou Ziyang had no choice but to park behind the BMW 5 Series.

Zhou Ziyang was also curious: Whose BMW 5 Series?
Not bad.

However, what he didn't know was that several students at the entrance of the auditorium had their eyes fixed on his Panamera.

"Holy crap! Brother Tao, what kind of car is this? It looks even cooler than a BMW!" Zhang Dapeng, who is completely clueless about cars, really didn't recognize it at all, but just thought it looked cool.

Qi Tao knew about it, but he hadn't had a chance to explain it to others.

Xu Yiyang spoke first: "You don't even recognize a Porsche?"

Porsche?
To be honest, at least one girl in the room didn't recognize this Porsche.

Xu Yiyang told Zhang Dapeng that this was called Paramela.

That's a hundred thousand, or even half a million!

"This is what a car should be!"

Zhang Dapeng asked, "Then why don't you drive one?"

Xu Yiyang immediately became annoyed: "You think my family doesn't have any?"

His family has one, but unfortunately his dad would never give him one.

He was able to drive this BMW 5 Series out because Li Chumei's parents were coming, and it was almost October 1st, so it was just a matter of driving it over and then driving it back.

"Why don't you drive over here?" Zhang Dapeng grinned, still looking completely harmless.

As they were chatting, the Panamera they were interested in slowly pulled up behind the BMW 5 Series.

Xu Yiyang was naturally keeping a close eye on the car, fearing it might hit his 5 Series.

It's a pity that the driver's skills are excellent, just like the overall appearance of the Panamera, giving people a smooth and flowing feeling.

The car door opens.

But then Zhou Ziyang, dressed smartly, got out of the car and expertly pressed the lock button.

"Old Zhou!?" The group paused for a moment upon seeing Zhou Ziyang.

At this moment, Zhou Ziyang looked up and noticed that several people were at the entrance of the auditorium.

Zhou Ziyang asked curiously, "What are you guys doing standing at the door?"

"No."

Qi Tao's mouth was wide open. When he saw Panamera just now, he felt a little relieved.

He told himself that there were still too many rich people in the world.

One cannot always see only a part of the whole picture.

Old Zhou is rich, but Xu Yiyang is even richer.

But there will always be people who are richer than them!
Therefore, I should let it go.

The relief didn't last long.

They discovered that it was Zhou Ziyang who got out of the car.

This.

Xu Yiyang's expression was even more interesting; he watched Zhou Ziyang slowly approach.

"Brother Zhou, you've come at the perfect time! We've been waiting for you!" Zhang Dapeng, still as innocent as ever, grinned.

"Wait for me? What's there for me to wait for?"

Zhou Ziyang chuckled inwardly; he certainly didn't believe it, since he didn't even know when he would arrive.

Besides, what are they waiting for me to do?

Zhang Dapeng grinned: "Hey! Just wait and see your BMW 3 Series! That car, what's it called, the 5 Series? Xu Yiyang drove it over, and he even said something like, 'The 3 Series is the grandson, and the 5 Series is the grandfather!' Old Zhou, what kind of car are you driving today? Is it the ancestor of the 5 Series?!"

Zhou Ziyang couldn't help but laugh when he heard this.

He said, "What is all this nonsense?"

"Dapeng, you've only been in college for a few days and you're already starting to make witty remarks?"

"hey-hey!"

"no,"

Qi Tao finally spoke, still quite shocked.

He laughed and said, "Old Zhou, is this your car?"

"Yeah, I couldn't resist buying one when I was shopping with Menghan that day."

"Didn't you tell me you bought your BMW on loan?" Qi Tao felt deceived.

Zhou Ziyang confirmed that he did indeed buy it with a loan.

"I took out another loan to buy a car."

"You!" Qi Tao was overwhelmed with mixed feelings.

Just then, people arrived at the auditorium, and one freshman after another walked into the auditorium.

When passing by, I can't help but take a second look at Pamei.

Xu Yiyang's BMW 5 Series is truly understated, but the Panamera parked quietly there is also quite high-profile.

Many people are proud to know Pamela.

They stood there for a while, listening to countless people passing by and talking.

Do you know what kind of car that is?

"Palamera!"

"Do you know what a Panamera is? There's a saying that goes, 'Tear down the house, and you get a Panamera!'"

Zhou Ziyang found this amusing.

He didn't understand why everyone was waiting at the auditorium entrance, so he went in first.

Zhang Dapeng smiled and said, "I'm really waiting for you, Brother Zhou!"
"If you don't believe me, just ask Xu Yiyang! Hey, Xu Yiyang, weren't you just anxiously waiting for my brother Zhou? Now that brother Zhou is here, why aren't you saying anything? Say something, Yangzi!"

Xu Yiyang stared at Zhang Dapeng without saying anything.

Zhang Dapeng, however, was not intimidated at all and gave a cold laugh.

Shen Xin, Xia Wei, and Lin Siyao walked alongside Zhou Ziyang.

Shen Xin asked Zhou Ziyang curiously why he had changed cars.

Zhou Ziyang said it was for work purposes.

“I don’t want to switch, it would mean taking on millions of dollars in loans.”

"Give me a break, Lao Zhou, I don't believe anything you say now!" Qi Tao said resentfully.

His words elicited laughter from several girls.

Lin Siyao said, "You're only finding out now? Not a single word he said is reliable."

"?" Qi Tao was stunned, looking at Lin Siyao in disbelief.

She actually spoke to me?
Could it be because I haven't contacted him recently?
Is she actively extending kindness to herself?

Upon entering, the auditorium was somewhat noisy.

We've already had a meeting before, which can be broadly described as the start of the semester, but that previous meeting was more about mobilizing for military training.

Today's meeting, however, marks the official start of the new semester and serves as a summary of the month-long military training.

At this moment, a lyrical melody is playing in the auditorium. The music starts off very gently and gradually rises in intensity.

"While there's still hope~"

"Hey, Lao Zhou, why is your song still playing? Did you pay for it?" Zhang Dapeng asked.

"No, it's for the alma mater to use for free." Zhou Ziyang was speechless, thinking to himself that it was Li Chumei's doing again.

"His songs?" Xu Yiyang, who was squeezed at the back, asked in confusion.

Shen Xin asked, "Don't you know?"

"what do you know?"

“This song was written by Zhou Ziyang during his military training. You probably didn’t come for military training, so you haven’t heard it.” Shen Xin smiled slightly at Xu Yiyang.

Xu Yiyang's face darkened even more upon hearing this.

The school auditorium is still as spacious and bright as ever.

Zhou Ziyang and his friends found their seats and sat down.

Zhou Ziyang sat on the outside of the group of boys, while Xia Wei waited for Zhou Ziyang to sit down before sitting next to him.

Before Zhou Ziyang could even sit down...

But a girl hugged him from behind.

Zhou Ziyang turned his head and saw that it was Jiang Menghan.

Zhou Ziyang was very curious and said, "How come you always suddenly appear?"

"I've been here for a while now, I thought you weren't coming!" Jiang Menghan snuggled into Zhou Ziyang's arms as if no one else was around.

There were people all around, so Zhou Ziyang said, "You should pay a little attention to your image."

"At least say hello!"

Jiang Menghan put her arm around Zhou Ziyang and greeted everyone with the other hand: "Hello!"

"Hello, sister-in-law!" Zhang Dapeng said with a grin.

His words startled Qi Tao.

Dude, are you being this direct? Aren't you afraid of getting stabbed?
After saying that, he stole a glance at Xia Wei.

Sure enough, Xia Wei was staring at Zhang Dapeng.

However, his words made Jiang Menghan quite happy.

Her little face was flushed.

Zhou Ziyang asked her to come sit down, "Didn't the class say so?"

Jiang Menghan said she had spoken to her counselor.

"What did you say to your counselor?"

I said,

At this moment, Jiang Menghan's face began to turn red, and she looked a little embarrassed and silly: "I said I came to find my boyfriend in the first class of architecture, and I wanted to sit with him."

"?" Zhou Ziyang was taken aback at first, then subconsciously looked at Jiang Menghan's class.

Sure enough, at this moment, whether it was the instructor, the teaching assistant, or the other students in their class, they were all present.

Sure enough, they were all staring at him and whispering among themselves.

Zhou Ziyang quickly lowered his head.

"What's wrong?" Jiang Menghan acted as if nothing was wrong, looking down at Zhou Ziyang.

She even blinked.

Trying to look cute?
Zhou Ziyang said, "I'm too ashamed to face anyone."

"Pfft!" Jiang Menghan burst out laughing.
