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

Chapter 154 Why Not Turn Enemies into Friends?
Zhou Ziyang entered holding Jiang Menghan's hand. Although Jiang Menghan's attire was already quite understated, her natural beauty made her very eye-catching even in simple clothes.

Jiang Menghan wore a loose gray sweatshirt that covered a third of her thighs, revealing her smooth legs. Her calves were covered with mid-calf socks of the same color as the sweatshirt, which further accentuated her fair and slender legs.

Jiang Menghan is the kind of girl who is pure and innocent, and her smile is very infectious.

Jiang Menghan felt a little guilty for coming to class with Zhou Ziyang like this, and couldn't help but laugh.

When Zhou Ziyang's classmates saw this scene, they couldn't help but whisper among themselves. It wasn't that they were particularly gossipy, but they would say a few words or glance at Jiang Menghan a few more times.

At this moment, Xia Wei was probably the one who was most affected. Xia Wei was happy when she saw Zhou Ziyang for the first time, and even reached under the table to get the steamed buns and corn she had bought for him.

But Zhou Ziyang actually brought Jiang Menghan with him.

Xia Wei's hand stiffened involuntarily.

She reserved a seat for Zhou Ziyang, a window seat no less.

But clearly, it's not enough for two people to sit in.

"Old Zhou~" Zhang Dapeng called out to Zhou Ziyang in a low voice.

Zhou Ziyang noticed that there were two seats on Zhang Dapeng's side, so he took Jiang Menghan's hand and went over to sit down.

After the old professor finished calling roll, he asked if anyone had missed anyone.
After confirming that there were no cases, the class began.

First, let me introduce myself. The old professor started writing his name on the blackboard. It was an uncommon character: Gu.

The old professor wrote his name on the blackboard, and some people below began to whisper among themselves. The character on its own was indeed a bit difficult to recognize.

Someone recalled that it was the "gu" in "gu fu" (to let down).

Then everyone suddenly realized what was going on.

The old professor's name was Gu Hong. He was dressed simply and wore reading glasses. He said that from today onwards, he would be the teacher of the history of Eastern architecture for their class. He began by saying, "Our country is vast and rich in resources, and its architecture also has a long history."

And so they began to speak.

To be honest, Professor Gu is truly talented, but he is getting on in years, and his lectures can be a bit dry. He draws some common shapes of ancient buildings on the blackboard and teaches the students the terms.

The students listened with great interest.

Xia Wei wasn't listening. She didn't turn her head, but her mind was on Zhou Ziyang and Jiang Menghan behind her.

Jiang Menghan's stomach was growling, and she told Zhou Ziyang that she was hungry.

Zhou Ziyang replied in a low voice, "You have the nerve to say you're hungry? If you hadn't overslept, how could we have missed breakfast?"

Zhou Ziyang spoke very softly, especially when he was still in bed. He was speaking as softly as could be, but Xia Wei was on high alert and heard him clearly. She heard that Zhou Ziyang and Jiang Menghan had stayed together last night.

Xia Wei felt a sudden, inexplicable pain in her heart.

"Oh dear, that's not my fault. I got up really early yesterday to catch the bus, and then went to bed really late last night."

Jiang Menghan muttered.

Zhou Ziyang said, "Is it my fault?"
Jiang Menghan said, "It's all your fault."

Zhou Ziyang said helplessly, "What does this have to do with me?"

Jiang Menghan said, "If it weren't for you, how could I possibly stay up so late?"

Before Jiang Menghan could finish speaking, Zhou Ziyang covered her mouth, signaling her not to talk nonsense.

Jiang Menghan, however, stuck out her tongue.

Zhou Ziyang said he would see if he could go out to buy something after class.

"Uh-huh."

Jiang Menghan quickly agreed.

And so, Jiang Menghan accompanied Zhou Ziyang to an architecture class.

The first lesson can only be considered an introductory overview. In fact, for history courses like this, you only need to memorize and understand the history, so there's no need to take it too seriously.

October in Nanjing is the season of lingering summer heat. Today's high temperature reached 32 degrees Celsius.

The sun shone brightly, its rays streaming into the classroom as time passed.

A golden light was cast over Jiang Menghan's head, and her slender legs, encased in gray mid-calf socks, appeared even more delicate and long due to the light and shadow.

During this class, Xia Wei turned her head to steal glances at Zhou Ziyang and Jiang Menghan several times. Looking at them, Zhou Ziyang and Jiang Menghan did indeed seem like a perfect couple. However, this only made Xia Wei more jealous. Xia Wei always felt that she should be the one sitting next to Zhou Ziyang.

After class, Zhou Ziyang originally planned to take Jiang Menghan out for dinner.

As a result, Qi Tao took the initiative to ask Zhou Ziyang when he returned.

"Old Zhou, you're only back today? You didn't stay in the dorm last night. Da Peng and I have been waiting for you for ages."

After class, several boys gathered around Zhou Ziyang.

Zhou Ziyang said he's back.

"I live right next to the school."

"Are you staying at a hotel?" Zhang Dapeng asked with a grin, while winking at Zhou Ziyang, implying that Zhou Ziyang must have slept with Jiang Menghan.

Zhou Ziyang said no.

“I remember saying that my family has a house here and I live in my own home.”

"Did you say that?"

Qi Tao and Zhang Dapeng were both stunned for a moment, clearly remembering something.

Zhou Ziyang was very confident, saying that he had already taken Lin Siyao and a few others to go shopping.

"Damn, how come I didn't know?"

Qi Tao was somewhat surprised to hear that Lin Siyao had been there.

Zhou Ziyang said, "I won't tell you yet, we haven't had breakfast."

As he spoke, Zhou Ziyang got up and was about to leave with Jiang Menghan.

Upon hearing that Zhou Ziyang hadn't eaten, Qi Tao thought for a moment and said, "Hey, I have some crab roe soup dumplings here, you can take them and eat them!"

As she spoke, she opened the small box, revealing six exquisite crab roe soup dumplings inside, arranged in two layers, making a total of twelve.

Qi Tao's small box clearly had a heat-keeping effect; it was steaming hot when taken out.

Shen Xin, who had been watching this place closely, exclaimed in surprise, "Wow, it looks delicious!"

Zhou Ziyang smelled the aroma of the soup dumplings. After all, Qi Tao had gotten up early that morning to buy them from a well-known old shop, so they must taste good. However, Zhou Ziyang didn't know any of this. He was just curious: "Why did you bring soup dumplings with you? Didn't you have breakfast?"

"No, not at all," Qi Tao said, somewhat embarrassed.

Zhang Dapeng quickly grinned and said, "Brother Zhou, don't you know my Brother Tao? He must have brought it for his goddess."

"Oh."

Zhou Ziyang subconsciously looked at Lin Siyao.

Lin Siyao turned her head to one side.

"You fucking shut up." Qi Tao stopped Zhang Dapeng first, then pushed the lunchbox in front of Zhou Ziyang and told him to eat.

Zhou Ziyang didn't have the habit of taking advantage of others, so he asked Qi Tao how much he bought it for.
"I'll transfer the money to you."

"No need, there's no point in keeping it if you don't eat it. You guys can eat it! I've been saying I'd treat you to a meal but I haven't had the chance."

"How about that?"

Zhou Ziyang wanted to refuse, but seeing that Qi Tao still disagreed, he could only say, "Then I'll treat you to dinner next time."

"Okay!"

Qi Tao was quite generous.

Jiang Menghan was really hungry. She kept staring at the crab roe soup dumpling, which looked delicious. When Zhou Ziyang handed it to her, she couldn't wait to pick up a piece with disposable chopsticks and take a bite.

Mmm, thin skin and thick meat, one bite and you're greeted with a rich broth.

"Really delicious!"

Jiang Menghan is incredibly happy.

Seeing that Jiang Menghan liked the food, Qi Tao was also happy, at least his efforts had not been in vain.

Seeing Jiang Menghan's satisfied expression, Zhou Ziyang asked, "Is it that delicious?"

Jiang Menghan replied that it was really, really delicious.

"You eat one too."

As she spoke, Jiang Menghan picked up a soup dumpling with her chopsticks and fed it to Zhou Ziyang with her hand.

Zhou Ziyang was genuinely embarrassed. He looked around and saw that Qi Tao and Zhang Dapeng, who were surrounding him, were subconsciously avoiding him.

Zhou Ziyang originally wanted to say that he would do it himself.

But Jiang Menghan had already handed the soup dumpling to him. Zhou Ziyang ultimately swallowed it whole.

It turned out to be surprisingly delicious.

"It's really delicious, Qi Tao, where did you buy it?"

Seeing that Zhou Ziyang and Jiang Menghan both enjoyed the food, Qi Tao was very happy and said, "I'm glad you like it."

"It's so delicious! Brother Zhou, you have no idea, this guy went out early this morning." Zhang Dapeng was curious when he heard Zhou Ziyang and Jiang Menghan say it was delicious.

Zhou Ziyang asked, "You haven't tried it?"

"I'm not qualified. Brother Tao only has eyes for goddesses, and besides goddesses, it's you."

Zhang Dapeng's words carried a hint of sarcasm, which was obvious to anyone with eyes to see; Qi Tao was trying to curry favor with Zhou Ziyang.

Zhou Ziyang said, "Then you should try one. We can't possibly finish so many. By the way, Qi Tao, you didn't eat any either, did you?"

"How could I not have eaten? I definitely ate my fill over there. But I can try one more."

Seeing how much they were enjoying their food, Qi Tao felt a little tempted himself.

To be honest, it's not a good idea to eat in the classroom.

Fortunately, the class was held in a lecture hall, which was spacious enough and well-ventilated.

Moreover, they were sitting right in the wind.

That's how it is with food; it tastes bland when you're eating alone, but it tastes delicious when you're eating with a group of people. Zhang Dapeng and Qi Tao both said it was tasty.

Shen Xin, who had been watching closely, was also curious: "Hey, Qi Tao, where did you buy these soup dumplings?"

"Over there on Sanshan Street."

"so far?"

Shen Xin was also a little surprised. Zhou Ziyang said, "Want to come and try one?"

Shen Xin quickly waved her hand and said, "I don't need it, I've already had breakfast."

"You've come all this way, have one." Zhou Ziyang handed the chopsticks to Shen Xin.

Shen Xin thought for a moment, then said somewhat shyly, "Then I'll try one."

"Is it so delicious?"

Qi Tao had originally brought it specifically for Lin Siyao, but Lin Siyao refused.

But seeing how much everyone enjoyed eating it, I decided to join in the fun.

Qi Tao originally thought that giving it to Lin Siyao was hopeless, but unexpectedly Lin Siyao took the initiative to come over.

Qi Tao's face broke into a smile again, and he quickly said, "It's absolutely delicious, Siyao!"

Lin Siyao wanted to try it, but she couldn't bring herself to do it.

I walked over and saw that quite a few soup dumplings had already been eaten. I hesitated for a moment, but then decided to give them a try.

But Zhou Ziyang blocked his way and asked, "What are you doing?"

"What do you mean, why?" Lin Siyao asked, puzzled.

Zhou Ziyang said, "You have to pay."

Hearing this, everyone burst into laughter, and Qi Tao panicked: "Old Zhou, what are you saying?"

Zhou Ziyang said, "How could I just eat it like that?"

"You ignored me when I offered you this, but now that you've turned back, don't you want me to know how hard it was to come by?"

"Old Zhou!" Qi Tao was speechless.

Lin Siyao was also annoyed and said, "Then I won't eat it!"

"It's just right if I don't eat it, otherwise I would have eaten it all."

Just as Lin Siyao was about to leave, Qi Tao quickly came over and said, "No, no, no."

"Siyao, don't go! This was originally bought for you, how could you not eat it!"

Qi Tao stopped Lin Siyao, telling her not to listen to Zhou Ziyang's nonsense.

"Try it, it's really delicious!"

Qi Tao specially made a new pair of chopsticks for Lin Siyao.

Seeing how humble Qi Tao was, and seeing that everyone else had tried it, Lin Siyao naturally wanted to try it too.

However, Zhou Ziyang is really annoying. He's two-timing her and still trying to flirt with her.

snort!
Lin Siyao glared at Zhou Ziyang, but Zhou Ziyang just smiled. The twelve soup dumplings were almost enough to divide among themselves. Jiang Menghan ate three, Zhou Ziyang ate one, and the rest were eaten by others, leaving only one in the end.

Zhou Ziyang said to Xia Wei, who hadn't turned around, "Weiwei, you should try some too."

"?" Xia Wei never expected Zhou Ziyang to call her by her name so openly.

She turned around and looked at Zhou Ziyang in disbelief.

Actually, Xia Wei had been listening to the sounds behind her since the beginning.

Lin Siyao and Shen Xin had both gone over, and Xia Wei definitely wanted to go and try it too, but because of her relationship with Zhou Ziyang, Xia Wei was too embarrassed.

Until Zhou Ziyang spoke.

Zhou Ziyang waved to Xia Wei: "Come and try it, this soup dumpling is really delicious."

Xia Wei looked at Zhou Ziyang and felt like she was dreaming.

To be honest, Zhou Ziyang's shout was quite surprising.

When Jiang Menghan heard Zhou Ziyang call Weiwei, she was stunned for a moment and looked at Zhou Ziyang with some discomfort.

But when Xia Wei walked over, Jiang Menghan thought for a moment and finally asked Xia Wei, "Do you want chopsticks?"

Xia Wei looked at Jiang Menghan, unsure of what to say.

Zhou Ziyang joked, "Why would you need chopsticks? There's only one left. You can feed her yourself."

Jiang Menghan couldn't help but say irritably, "Why aren't you feeding me?"

"Then I'll feed it?"

Zhou Ziyang pretended to pick up chopsticks, and Jiang Menghan pinched his thigh.

"Look how tough you are!"

Zhou Ziyang smiled, and Jiang Menghan picked up a soup dumpling and said, "Here, Weiwei, let me feed you."

Everything before her eyes seemed unreal. Xia Wei looked at Zhou Ziyang, unsure of what to do.

Lin Siyao told Xia Wei, "It really is quite delicious, Weiwei, you should try some too."

"Hmm, what's the name of this shop?"

Shen Xin also liked it very much and asked Qi Tao about it again.

Qi Tao really enjoys the feeling of being recognized by others. He said, "The name will be Crab Roe Soup Dumplings."

"Weiwei, try it quickly," Shen Xin urged.

Xia Wei ultimately refused to be fed by Jiang Menghan, and instead took the chopsticks directly and bit off a soup dumpling.

Okay, the taste is indeed good, but it's not as delicious as I imagined.

Jiang Menghan asked Xia Wei if it was delicious.
Xia Wei nodded and said it was good.

In fact, both Jiang Menghan and Xia Wei are conflicted.

Jiang Menghan already harbored resentment towards Xia Wei, but Zhou Ziyang happened to call Xia Wei's name, so even if she was dissatisfied, she couldn't show it.

Xia Wei looked at Jiang Menghan with a guilty conscience.

After all, she and Zhou Ziyang were already in that kind of relationship.
So at this point, everyone had their own thoughts.

So when class started and everyone sat back down, Jiang Menghan was still a little unhappy and muttered complaints to Zhou Ziyang in a low voice.

She said that Zhou Ziyang was deliberately bullying her.

Zhou Ziyang was puzzled: "When did I bully you?"

"You actually thought of making me feed Xia Wei?"

"You've misunderstood my good intentions. It's better to resolve conflicts than to let them fester. Since you're leaving soon, instead of having such a big conflict with her, why not turn hostility into friendship? I see her every day, so instead of being irreconcilable with her, why not be friends with her? That way, you won't have to worry about her every day."

Wow, you're so smart!

"So-so, don't praise me, I'll get arrogant. Hey, pinch me?"
