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

Chapter 180 Continues to Gain Popularity
There were two English classes in the morning. Zhou Ziyang suddenly became a sensation because of a song, and his popularity exceeded everyone's expectations. When the first class ended, many girls came to Zhou Ziyang shyly. Some girls said they wanted to be friends with Zhou Ziyang, while others said they wanted to ask Zhou Ziyang for his autograph.

Even after class, students from other classes would come to this classroom to check on Zhou Ziyang after being notified by his roommate.

"This is Zhou Ziyang?"

Even from a distance, Lin Siyao could hear the two girls next to her talking about Zhou Ziyang.

Zhou Ziyang handled the situation well, simply signing autographs for a few girls. However, he made it clear beforehand that he wasn't a celebrity and the autographs were essentially useless.

But for these girls, such words obviously have no effect.

During the break between English classes, the English teacher didn't go out. Instead, she played on her phone in the classroom for ten minutes, thinking she would continue teaching in class. However, she saw one girl after another running over to chat with Zhou Ziyang and asking him for autographs.

She couldn't help but wonder who the boy in front of her was.

Just then, two girls sitting in the front row returned from asking Zhou Ziyang for his autograph, and they were still looking very happy.

So English teacher Wu Yaman craned her neck to ask the two girls.

Is that boy a celebrity? I saw a lot of you asking him for autographs.

The two girls seemed quite proud after hearing this, and told Wu Yaman, "His name is Zhou Ziyang. He's a star in our school. His songs are really good, and they've even made it to the homepage of NetEase Music."

"so smart?"

Wu Yaman looked slightly surprised, while the two girls, as if showing off, directly opened NetEase Music to show Wu Yaman.

"Of course it's true, teacher. Look, there are even promotional photos. And look, both of his songs made it into the top ten."

The two girls showed Wu Yaman their phones.

After seeing Zhou Ziyang's photo, Wu Yaman looked back at him and said, "It really is him. This guy is really handsome."

"of course!"

In the second English class, Wu Yaman had already finished teaching all the topics she was going to cover and told the students to study on their own for the rest.

It was nearly 11 o'clock, and the song "The Wind Rises" had already surpassed 700,000 plays on NetEase Music, which meant that Zhou Ziyang had earned 2,800 yuan. At this rate, Zhou Ziyang's income for the day would be at least 10,000 yuan.

Lin Siyao suddenly felt a little envious of Zhou Ziyang, who could earn nearly 10,000 yuan without doing anything.

While the students were studying and whispering among themselves, Lin Siyao took the initiative to chat with Zhou Ziyang again. She asked him what she could do to help him find a job.

Zhou Ziyang was very curious and said, "You're a rich young lady from the capital, do you really need this little bit of money?"

"Isn't your capital city overflowing with gold?"

"Don't listen to Qi Tao's nonsense."

Zhou Ziyang didn't even mention Qi Tao, but Lin Siyao had already replied, her tone full of dissatisfaction with Qi Tao.

Zhou Ziyang chuckled, watching Lin Siyao's beautiful legs under the table moving closer to him. Without any hesitation, Zhou Ziyang reached out and touched them. However, Zhou Ziyang said, "Miss Lin, if you want me to find you a job, just touching your legs isn't enough."

"So what do you want?" Lin Siyao wasn't actually against Zhou Ziyang touching her leg, since she had been touched by him the first time she rode in his car.

"Can I do whatever I want?"

As Zhou Ziyang asked, his hand, which was touching Lin Siyao's beautiful legs, began to slowly slide upwards.

Lin Siyao could even feel Zhou Ziyang's hand slowly sliding into her skirt.
Logically, Lin Siyao should have refused at this point.

But she discovered that her body was experiencing a subtle sensation.

This was the first time Lin Siyao had felt this way about a man; it was very subtle.

Zhou Ziyang's hands seemed to have magic power.

It traced across her skin, slowly moving upwards.

Following this trajectory, everyone knows where it will end up.

But Lin Siyao didn't refuse; in fact, she was somewhat looking forward to it.

But just as Zhou Ziyang's hand slowly slid from the outside of Lin Siyao's thigh to the inside, and was about to reach it, Zhou Ziyang's hand suddenly stopped.

This left Lin Siyao feeling lost, and she looked up curiously.

It turned out that the English teacher had come over.

Fortunately, Zhou Ziyang was observant and alert, and stopped in time.

But Lin Siyao is really something, she doesn't even know how to refuse.

Zhou Ziyang originally wanted to tease her, but Lin Siyao didn't refuse.

This caused Zhou Ziyang to become a little intoxicated.

Wu Yaman finally couldn't resist her curiosity. She listened to both of Zhou Ziyang's songs with her headphones on and found that they were quite to her liking.

University teachers, especially English teachers, generally have a bourgeois sentiment, and Zhou Ziyang's two songs are full of artistic flair, so Wu Yaman must be thinking of exchanging ideas with Zhou Ziyang.

The class was quiet at this moment. Although most students were whispering to each other, their voices were very soft.

So Wu Yaman lowered her voice, held up her phone, and asked, "You wrote both of these songs?"

"Oh yes."

"You're amazing! You can write songs like this."

Wu Yaman's voice is quite pleasant, she said with a smile.

Zhou Ziyang said it was alright.

So Wu Yaman kept talking to Zhou Ziyang for half a class period, and they even talked about some artsy topics, such as what kind of songs she liked to listen to, such as Pu Shu, Xu Wei, and Da Bing's books.

A quintessential artsy young woman.

Ironically, Zhou Ziyang had read all of the same things she was reading, which is why they were able to have a good conversation.

This made Wu Yaman feel like she had met a kindred spirit too late, and she took the initiative to add Zhou Ziyang's contact information.

When English class ended, Wu Yaman assigned homework. Just before the get out of class was about to end, she suddenly remembered that there needed to be an English class representative.

Therefore, Zhou Ziyang was directly appointed as the English class representative.

I asked Zhou Ziyang to collect all the English homework and hand it in before the next class.

Zhou Ziyang said "okay".

The English teacher was thirty years old, but she spoke and acted in a cute way. Well, not exactly cute, but more like she was trying to look young. Before leaving after class, she even made a gesture to Zhou Ziyang, indicating that she wanted to contact him by phone.

Zhou Ziyang planned to leave as soon as get out of class ended.

But Lin Siyao stopped him and asked Zhou Ziyang if he could find him a part-time job.
Zhou Ziyang said that such things are rare and hard to come by.

“I was recording a song at the time, and they were short of models, so they asked Xia Wei and Jiang Menghan to fill in temporarily. Under normal circumstances, how could they possibly pay you three thousand yuan an hour?”

“If you do it once in a while, people will give you three thousand yuan out of respect for you. But if you want to do it long-term, they definitely can’t keep giving you three thousand yuan.”

"Then you got to touch me for free?" Lin Siyao said immediately after understanding.

Zhou Ziyang strongly disagreed with this statement.

"What do you mean by 'free touch'? Didn't you enjoy it too?"

"Zhou Ziyang!" Lin Siyao was almost furious, clenching her little fists and glaring fiercely at Zhou Ziyang.

Zhou Ziyang was still laughing and saying, "Don't be angry."

"At worst, I'll treat you to a meal."

"go away!"

"That's fine."

"Wait!"

Just as Zhou Ziyang was about to leave, Lin Siyao stopped him again.

Zhou Ziyang asked what was wrong.

Lin Siyao thought for a moment and said that since someone was inviting her to dinner, she might as well take the opportunity.

"You really are..."

The Zhou Ziyang craze lasted for two weeks. During those two weeks, news about Zhou Ziyang could be seen almost every day, and "The Wind Rises" garnered over three million views in 24 hours.

The show garnered over 50 million views in just two weeks, essentially maintaining its position as the daily and weekly champion.

"The Sea of ​​Stars" was less well-known, but thanks to Zhou Ziyang's fame, it rose from the bottom to the top ten, and then fluctuated between seventh and eighth place, with its viewership exceeding 30 million.

According to the contract Zhou Ziyang signed with the website, he earned 320,000 yuan in the past two weeks.

Two weeks later, although the discussion about Zhou Ziyang had subsided, these two songs continued to dominate the charts. Later, the popularity of the song "The Wind Rises" gradually declined, slipping to third and fourth place. But no one expected that the song "Starry Sea" would actually top the charts at number one.

And they stayed there for two consecutive months.

In addition, various TV stations and online programs have also sent invitations to Zhou Ziyang, saying they hope he can sing a song for them on their programs, with a price ranging from 300,000 to 500,000 yuan for just one song.

Some well-connected television stations even contacted Zhou Ziyang through the school.

Zhou Ziyang is willing to go as long as the price is right. After all, it's only for the time of one song, just two weeks. Zhou Ziyang actually earned three or four million just by relying on his influence, so it's true that the entertainment industry is lucrative.

Zhou Ziyang even wants to write songs full-time.

This incident greatly increased Zhou Ziyang's popularity, making him well-known not only among students but also in society at large.

For example, the small county town where Zhou Ziyang came from has always been isolated from the outside world. It's not that it's isolated from the outside world, but rather that Zhou Ziyang's parents' generation would definitely not pay attention to these things in the youth circle.

Unexpectedly, Zhou Ziyang's appearance on television was seen by his mother's colleague.

"My God, Lijuan, isn't this your son?"

A colleague specifically showed Yang Lijuan a screenshot of the video. At first, Yang Lijuan didn't believe it, but when she saw Zhou Ziyang singing in the video, she was stunned: "Is that really my son? It's really my son!"

"Your son is amazing, Lijuan!"

"They've even been on TV, they must have made at least a few million!"

"Old Zhou, your son is amazing! He's even on TV!"

Similarly, Zhou Guowei's office was also discussing this matter.

People mainly felt that appearing on television was a very rare thing, and the television program's introduction of Zhou Ziyang described him as a talented student from Nanjing University, whose songs were also very talented, etc., all of which were positive terms.

This week, Ziyang has only been studying abroad for less than two months and he's already so amazing.

Many of Zhou Guowei's subordinates began to flatter him.

Zhou Guowei's face also showed some radiance.

But then someone said, "Oh, Lao Zhou, isn't it a pity? I told you not to get a divorce back then, but you wouldn't listen. Now you're divorced, and your son is doing well, but it's a pity he wasn't raised by you. I always said Lijuan was a good girl, but you didn't know how to cherish her."

Zhou Guowei was very unhappy when he heard this: "If we get divorced, he's no longer my son?"

"You're divorced now, how would anyone recognize you?"

"What do you mean you don't recognize me?"

Zhou Guowei almost got into a fight with someone because of this.

As a result, the leaders had to come out to mediate, saying that you two are already half buried in the ground, how can you fight over this?
Is it a shame?

Zhou Guowei was very upset about this. Although Zhou Ziyang still called Zhou Guowei "Dad," to outsiders, it seemed that Zhou Guowei didn't cherish his son, who had now run off to someone else's home.

After returning home, Zhou Guowei told Xu Qing about the incident.

To be honest, by the time Xu Qing learned about Zhou Ziyang writing songs, almost all the teachers in the office already knew about it.

Because the principal felt that Zhou Ziyang's song "The Sea of ​​Stars" resonated with the values ​​of young people, he played it for the students through a loudspeaker during breaks.

In Zhou Ziyang's small county town, this song has been played almost every junior and senior high school recently.

You should know that Zhou Ziyang graduated from here.

As for Zhou Ziyang's alma mater, they played these two songs three times a day.

Every teacher who taught Zhou Ziyang would mention in class how they taught him.

"I never expected that such a talented person could emerge from our small town."

The teachers were chatting in the office, and the conversation naturally drifted to this topic.

"Zhou Ziyang? That name sounds familiar. Hey, Xu Qing, I remember your husband's son is named Zhou Ziyang, right? Could it be the same person?"

Xu Qing's expression was not good. She said, "What do you mean by 'the one in my family'? Old Zhou and I are not together."

"Huh? Aren't you two already together?"

Xu Qing's sudden change of heart caught everyone off guard.

Is there some kind of relationship crisis going on?
The popularity of the two songs continued to rise, and many entertainment companies came to the school to sign Zhou Ziyang and let him debut as a singer. However, Zhou Ziyang refused them all. In front of the camera, he said that songwriting is just a hobby, but he has no intention of developing it as a career.

If I had a choice, I would prefer to be a small cog in society and contribute to it.

From Zhou Ziyang's perspective, there's nothing wrong with saying that. After all, he's a top student from Nanjing University, and his future is limitless.

However, when this interview was broadcast, it earned everyone's admiration.

Because in everyone's impression, celebrities make a lot of money, it is unexpected that Zhou Ziyang can resist such temptation at such a young age.

No wonder he's a top student from Nanjing University.

His words made Zhou Guowei very gratified, and he thought to himself, "This is my son."

Unfortunately, there are always people around me who laugh at me, saying things like, "What, your son?"

"He wasn't raised by you, so how can he be considered your son!"

At that moment, Zhou Guowei did feel a slight pang of regret.

In addition, Suya was wearing a uniform and stockings.

Hearing Zhou Ziyang's words on the phone, he pushed up his glasses with great satisfaction, thinking to himself, "My senior brother has finally raised a good son."

No, it shouldn't be said that it was raised by my senior brother.
