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

Chapter 166 Becomes a Sensation Across Universities
Li Chumei didn't invite Lin Siyao alone. The student union dinner after the party was a regular event. Usually, it would be attended by some management personnel from the second and third year departments, as well as some freshmen who had just joined the student union but had already begun to make a name for themselves.

Students like Zhou Ziyang and Lin Siyao, the two freshmen who hosted the event, as well as other freshmen who performed or worked behind the scenes, all had the opportunity to attend this student union dinner.

These people are mostly the successors to the student union departments, with those who should be presidents becoming presidents and those who should be department heads becoming department heads.

Lin Siyao was flattered to be singled out by Li Chumei to stay behind, and Shen Xin also looked at Li Chumei with some surprise, hoping that Li Chumei would keep her behind as well.

Unfortunately, Li Chumei only said one sentence to Lin Siyao before going to attend to other matters.

Helpless, Lin Siyao could only say to Shen Xin and Xia Wei, "Then you two go back to the dormitory first, I'll go for a bit."

"Do you want to drink over there?" Xia Wei asked innocently.

Shen Xin said, "We'll definitely be drinking."

So Xia Wei quickly said to Lin Siyao, "Yaoyao, could you please keep an eye on Zhou Ziyang and make sure he doesn't drink too much?"

Lin Siyao thought to herself, "He's my ex-boyfriend, why is he still so concerned?"
While thinking this in my heart, I still casually said that I knew.

Zhou Ziyang's rendition of "The Wind Rises" just now served as the closing performance of the evening. Perhaps due to the rushed time on stage, it didn't generate a very enthusiastic response from the audience. However, as time went on...

The video of this song is generating increasingly heated discussions on the forum.

It has even spread to other school forums in the university town.

A Competition of Freshman Evening Parties Among University Colleges in the University Town

Before Zhou Ziyang's "The Wind Rises" came out, no one was willing to give way to the other, and everyone claimed that their school's program was the most exciting. Among them, there were even many college students who had appeared on talent shows and debuted.

What campus heartthrob?

Love song duet,

There were even magic shows.

Of course, among the many performances, there will certainly be some talented young people who will take the stage with their guitars and play their own original songs.

At the age of eighteen or nineteen, being able to sing an original song is already a remarkable achievement. It's just a pity that he encountered someone with extraordinary talent.

In just one hour, "The Wind Rises" became a hot topic of discussion on forums of various universities, and its popularity has even spread beyond Xianlin University Town to Jiangning, Pukou, and even among freshman parties of universities across the country.

It's worth noting that "The Wind Rises" was already a phenomenal song in its original timeline.

Released in 2017, the song garnered over 100 million plays in just one week. It was taken down for a period due to copyright disputes, but when it was re-released, it surpassed 1.2 billion plays and received over 350,000 comments overnight. It topped the NetEase Cloud Music Hot Songs Chart hundreds of times and has been covered by numerous artists, with each performance generating renewed buzz.

Therefore, it's really not a loss for Lin Siyao to lose her hot dance to Zhou Ziyang's song.

Lin Siyao was still feeling quite depressed, thinking that she was really unlucky to have Zhou Ziyang release a new song. She felt like she had been set up and arranged by someone. However, what she didn't know was that at this moment, the song "The Wind Rises" had already reached the ears of thousands of college students through the internet.

Especially when Zhou Ziyang stopped playing the piano in the middle, he simply sang a cappella:
She once poured her youth into herself, and her fingertips once played the notes of summer.
These two short sentences instantly evoked a feeling of being moved.

This represents the youth of countless young men and women.

How many days and nights have they spent longing for them?
These words are so beautifully written.

So one classmate after another spread the song.

"Look at Nanjing University's freshman welcome party! This song was written by a freshman!"

"Wow, no wonder it's a prestigious university, even freshmen can write songs?"

"What kind of songs can he write? He's just showing off, he's not even a professional!"

Some people, of course, didn't believe it and started commenting before even hearing it.

After listening to it, I was just like, "Holy crap!"

These are absolutely amazing!
"Did you hesitate for a moment before stepping out of the station?"

"These lyrics are so beautiful! No wonder he's a talented student from Nanjing University; his writing is so delicate. In just two short lines, he captures the confusion of youth, the transformation of growth, and the nostalgia for the past!"

The video began to be widely shared on forums and QQ groups of various universities.

There are roughly a few scenarios. One is that people say, "Wow, this guy is amazing! Even though I'm not good at studying, I still think he's awesome!"
Or maybe it's true, Nanjing University is really something else! This song is so well written!

And then there's this: "Not only is he talented, but he's also so handsome!"

"I wish he were my boyfriend!"

"Oh my god! I've found my new crush! He's so handsome! He's totally my type!"

It was already 9 p.m., and the freshman parties at various universities had long since ended.

The freshmen of Xiaozhuang College have also returned to their dormitories.

But suddenly, a girl wearing glasses screamed from her bed.

Her roommate asked her what she was yelling about.

The girl with glasses asked, "Did you guys watch Nanjing University's freshman welcome party?"

"I didn't even watch my own college's freshman party, how could I have time to watch others'?"

One of my roommates laughed and made sarcastic remarks.

Another roommate chuckled along.

The girl with glasses was quite unhappy to hear this and ignored them. She turned to Ke Wan, who had just come out of the bathroom, and said, "Ke Wan! Let me show you my new crush! He's so handsome, you'll definitely like him!"

As she spoke, the girl with glasses quickly pulled Ke Wan over to show her.

Ke Wan was confused, but her two roommates found it amusing and said sarcastically, "Anyone who's even remotely handsome is Liu Yue's dream man."

"Hahaha!"

"This time is different, Ke Wan, look!"

Liu Yue blushed slightly with anger and held up her phone to show Ke Wan.

Ke Wan didn't pay much attention at first, thinking that Liu Yue was indeed a bit of a dream girl, but when she saw who the person in the video was...

She was stunned.

"Don't move!"

Because Liu Yue was fooling around with her other roommates, her hand holding the phone was a little shaky.

Ke Wan grabbed Liu Yue's hand, telling her not to move.

Seeing that she was serious, Liu Yue was very happy and said, "See! Ke Wan, you have good taste. Isn't he handsome!"

Now Ke Wan saw it clearly.

Under the spotlight, the angle was just right.

Zhou Ziyang held the microphone.

A very emotional a cappella performance.

“I know this person!” Ke Wan said directly.

"Ok?"

Everyone was taken aback. They hadn't been interested at first, but after hearing this, all the roommates immediately gathered around.

When they listened to the whole song.

"Ke Wan, you actually know such an important person?"

"Are we close? How about we meet up for dinner this weekend?"

"Ke Wan, Ke Wan, can I get your autograph?"

Zhou Ziyang was indeed busy at the moment. He did not expect that singing "The Wind Rises" would have such a great impact. Old classmates who had not been in contact with him for more than ten years contacted him and even showed him the video, asking if the person in the video was him.

This left Zhou Ziyang speechless, wondering if the internet's influence had become so great.
"Bro! You're famous! All the girls in our class are clamoring to have your babies (grinning)"

Even Li Dongfeng sent a message.

At this moment, Li Dongfeng stood tall and proud in the dormitory, holding his phone and saying to everyone, "Do you know who this is?! This is my older brother!"

Not just in the dormitory.

In the freshman group, a girl posted Zhou Ziyang's video in the group.

Then Li Dongfeng saw him and proudly declared, "I know him!"

"He's my brother!" Li Dongfeng was a big shot at their school; many people didn't dare to mess with him.

And yet this person claims that the person in the video is his brother?
That just goes to show how amazing Zhou Ziyang is!
Most of the people in the auditorium had already left, leaving about twenty people who were going to attend the student council gathering.

Zhou Ziyang didn't know many of the new members of the student council. They were newcomers, and most of their parents taught them to be honest and respectful when they were out in the world, to be good at interpersonal relationships, and even if they joined the student council, to be mindful of their attitude, to call each other "brother" when appropriate, and to offer each other cigarettes when appropriate. They were no longer children.

So they stood there very obediently, following the instructions of their senior classmates, especially Liu Jiahao, who was a high-ranking official and deserved respect.

But Liu Jiahao ignored them, while fawning over Zhou Ziyang.

Liu Jiahao had just passed by when several of his junior classmates greeted him.

"Why are you still here?" Liu Jiahao asked, puzzled.

Liu Jiahao said, "Your senior from Chumei University has booked a restaurant and sent you the reservation. You can just take a taxi there."

"Oh ok."

After hearing what Liu Jiahao said, the freshmen finally understood.

After getting rid of the few freshmen, Liu Jiahao noticed Zhou Ziyang next to him and quickly asked, "Brother Zhou, are you coming with us?"

Zhou Ziyang shook his head, indicating that he would drive himself.

"Go, go, go."

Zhou Ziyang felt that since the freshmen had all left, he should go ahead as well. He turned around and saw Lin Siyao with her arms crossed in front of her. She was still wearing those black shorts, showing off her long legs, and she was standing there in a daze.

At this point, Zhou Ziyang and Lin Siyao should still have some conflicts.

But seeing Lin Siyao standing there, Zhou Ziyang said, "How about I take you there?"

Lin Siyao was upset about what happened during the day, so much so that she hadn't said more than a few words to Zhou Ziyang.

But when Zhou Ziyang asked this question...

Lin Siyao suddenly wavered again.

She remained silent.

Zhou Ziyang said helplessly, "Alright then."

After saying that, Zhou Ziyang turned to leave.

"Ai!"

In the end, Lin Siyao couldn't hold back anymore. Rather than taking a taxi or riding in a car, she ultimately wanted to ride in a Panamera.

Zhou Ziyang turned his head and glanced at Lin Siyao.

Lin Siyao didn't know why, but at this moment she felt a sense of humiliation, as if she had to bow her head. However, among the students in the student council, she only knew Zhou Ziyang.

If not Zhou Ziyang, then who should I follow?
"I'll go with you." Lin Siyao's words still held a hint of stubbornness as she walked ahead of Zhou Ziyang.

Zhou Ziyang watched as her shapely buttocks, encased in black shorts, swayed back and forth.

He just found it funny and followed behind Lin Siyao.

Zhou Ziyang and Lin Siyao were on the second floor, and they had to go down one flight of stairs.

By this time, most of the people in the auditorium had already left, and the stairwell was empty and dark, without even any lights.

Only a small window high up in the stairwell let in moonlight.

Lin Siyao walked stubbornly ahead, while Zhou Ziyang followed behind.

The sound of students talking could still be heard in the auditorium.

But the stairwell was very quiet.

Zhou Ziyang said that Lin Siyao danced quite well just now.

“You should have told me in advance so I could cooperate with you,” Zhou Ziyang said.

Lin Siyao chuckled upon hearing this: "Why should I tell you?"

"What? Do you feel like you were acting like an idiot just now?"

As expected, Lin Siyao wanted to embarrass Zhou Ziyang.

Zhou Ziyang sighed and said, "Oh, so it was intentional."

"It seems I have offended you somewhere, Miss Lin."

To outsiders, Lin Siyao gives the impression of having a bad temper, but to Zhou Ziyang, he feels that Lin Siyao has a pretty good temper. After just a few words, although Lin Siyao still walks in front with her back to Zhou Ziyang, the corners of her mouth can't help but turn up.

But in the end, she kept it to herself.

After climbing one flight of stairs, Lin Siyao turned to look at Zhou Ziyang, her expression displeased: "Don't you know what you did to offend me?"

Lin Siyao had already put on her coat, but it was open.

The black camisole and her slender waist accentuated her figure.

After saying this, Lin Siyao wanted to continue walking.

However, Zhou Ziyang suddenly grabbed his arm.

“?” Lin Siyao turned around and asked Zhou Ziyang what he was doing.

Zhou Ziyang smiled and said, "Tell me what I did to offend you."

What are you doing?

Lin Siyao was too lazy to waste words with Zhou Ziyang, so she glared at him and told him to let go.

Zhou Ziyang said, "What if I don't let go?"

"Let go."

The two were already at the bottom of the stairs, a place where it was very easy to fall, and then they were pulling each other like that.

Lin Siyao almost fell because she wasn't careful.

Fortunately, Zhou Ziyang reacted quickly and protected Lin Siyao's waist.

Lin Siyao was also startled.

Zhou Ziyang said he was glad he protected her.

"Can't you be a little more careful when you walk?"

How dare you say that?

Lin Siyao was furious when she heard this. She was about to say something to Zhou Ziyang when she looked up and found that Zhou Ziyang's face was right next to hers. The two of them were very close, and Zhou Ziyang's hand was protecting Lin Siyao's slender waist.

In the darkness, Zhou Ziyang's eyes were exceptionally beautiful.

Lin Siyao thought of her mistake on stage earlier and didn't dare to look at Zhou Ziyang anymore.

He kept his head down and said nothing.

Zhou Ziyang said, "Is it because I joked about you and Qi Tao?"

"So you knew!" Lin Siyao was genuinely angry now; this was deliberate wrongdoing.

"I've told you so many times, there's no way Qi Tao and I could be together! You're just joking with me."

"You boys are really annoying because of this, you know that!"

Lin Siyao raised her head as she spoke, because she was really angry.

Zhou Ziyang, however, acted as if nothing had happened. He even had the nerve to laugh, saying, "I was just joking. At worst, I won't do it again."
"Zhou Ziyang, do you know how despicable you are!"

Lin Siyao was speechless, but her anger had subsided considerably, and she even reached out and slapped Zhou Ziyang.

Zhou Ziyang chuckled, indicating that he knew he was wrong, and then said that he was also quite curious.

As he spoke, Zhou Ziyang pulled Lin Siyao over from the stairwell.

Seeing her displeased expression, he asked, "If you don't like Qi Tao, who do you like?"

"I"
