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

Chapter 84 Lin Siyao: I'm not aloof at all!

Chapter 84 Lin Siyao: I'm not aloof at all! (This chapter is about playing cards; please don't read if you don't like that.)

It was already past nine o'clock at night when Zhou Ziyang drove Jiang Menghan back to school. Originally, Zhou Ziyang planned to take Jiang Menghan back to her dormitory first, and then he could write another novel when he got back to his dormitory.

Speaking of the novel, Zhou Ziyang originally just wanted to write it casually. Anyway, he didn't lack money. He planned to spend a lot of money to make the novel's data look better once the word count was high. For this purpose, Zhou Ziyang even found a website with hellish difficulty - Qidian Novel Network.

At that time, Qidian.com had not yet undergone reforms, so as long as Zhou Ziyang invested money, there would definitely be a return.

Unexpectedly, whether it was because Zhou Ziyang's writing skills had improved or because most readers couldn't find books to read, Zhou Ziyang's novel became surprisingly popular.

Originally adapted from the movie "The Ex-Files 3", but because Zhou Ziyang was used to writing about scumbag men, he directly made the protagonist Meng Yun's life seem to be on a winning streak after leaving the female lead Lin Jia, with his career advancing by leaps and bounds and twins on both sides.

Finally, he married a beautiful and wealthy woman and reached the pinnacle of his life.

It's only been a week since the update, yet over two thousand people are still following it. Most importantly, a group of readers are leaving comments asking Zhou Ziyang to write more about the protagonist's career, how he gets rich, and then make the female lead regret her decision.

Zhou Ziyang listened to the advice, of course, because this was Zhou Ziyang's specialty.

As a result, more and more people read the book, and Zhou Ziyang began to feel a sense of accomplishment as he wrote.

As a result, Zhou Ziyang no longer wants to chase girls; he just wants to get back to writing his novel.

But Jiang Menghan was in her first relationship, and all she wanted was to stay close to Zhou Ziyang. Even if she didn't do anything, just lying in Zhou Ziyang's arms and playing on her phone would be wonderful.

To be honest, Zhou Ziyang found it novel at first, but it got boring after a while.

He was scrolling through his phone when he noticed someone had tagged everyone in the class group chat. Turns out, it was class assistant Shao Sisi saying something.

Anyone want to play cards in the cafeteria?

After reading this, Zhou Ziyang thought to himself, "This teaching assistant is really something else. She openly leads students to play cards, and the counselor doesn't even say a word?"
Scrolling down, I discovered that Lin Siyao had actually replied with: "How many people?"
Qi Tao quickly followed up, "If there aren't enough people, can I join you?"

Seeing Zhou Ziyang playing on his phone, Jiang Menghan leaned over and asked him what he was doing.

Zhou Ziyang said that his classmates were playing cards in the cafeteria.

"Why don't we go take a look together?"

"Sure." Actually, Jiang Menghan was bored staying here too.

So Zhou Ziyang parked the car, took Jiang Menghan's hand, and the two went to the cafeteria together.

It was already 9:30, and most of the cafeteria windows were closed, except for one fried chicken and hamburger window which was still lit up, and two groups of people were gathered in the corner.

Zhou Ziyang didn't recognize the other group of people; they seemed to be playing Werewolf.

Another group of about seven or eight people, all classmates of Zhou Ziyang, seemed to be having a lot of fun.

So Zhou Ziyang led Jiang Menghan over there.

There were seven of them in total. Four of them were playing, and the remaining three were watching.

The card players were Lin Siyao, class assistant Shao Sisi, Xu Yiyang, and a boy from the next dormitory named Qian Mu.

Qi Tao watched from the sidelines, feeling like an ant on a hot pan, really wanting to play. He kept instructing Xu Yiyang on how to play his cards, which annoyed Xu Yiyang to no end. He told Qi Tao to shut up and that he knew how to play.

"Dude, you don't even know how to swipe cards, what are you even doing? If you don't know how to play, get out of the way."

Qi Tao said anxiously.

Xu Yiyang's brows never relaxed.

Actually, he doesn't play cards at all.

After we finished eating, Chu Mei and I were strolling around the cafeteria when we saw this group of people playing cards, so we came over to take a look.

As a result, after Li Chumei learned that this group of people were Xu Yiyang's classmates, she encouraged Xu Yiyang to communicate with them more, as he could also gain something from it.

But looking back now, what have we gained?
At this moment, Qi Tao was not the only one watching from the side; Li Chumei, who maintained a gentle demeanor, was also watching Xu Yiyang play cards.

And there's Xia Wei sitting next to me, playing on her phone.

Xia Wei was dragged over by Lin Siyao.

She wasn't interested in playing cards; she came purely to keep Lin Siyao company.

She had just finished showering and was wearing a loose white shirt and dark blue denim shorts.

Xia Wei is the kind of well-behaved girl next door, and you rarely see her showing her thighs, but looking at her now, her legs are actually quite beautiful.

Just as Zhou Ziyang was looking at Xia Wei, Xia Wei also noticed Zhou Ziyang approaching.

"Zhou Ziyang?"

Li Chumei recognized Zhou Ziyang. She had a pretty good impression of him and took the initiative to greet him.

At this moment, most of the lights in the cafeteria were turned off, so the environment was somewhat dim. However, Li Chumei's smile was still very infectious, and the golden earrings shone brightly as they swayed, which added to Li Chumei's charm.

Zhou Ziyang nodded to Li Chumei and called her "Senior Chumei".

Li Chumei nodded slightly, then turned to look at Jiang Menghan next to Zhou Ziyang, and asked with a smile, "Is this your girlfriend? What a sweet little sister."

After being praised by Li Chumei, Jiang Menghan blushed and hid behind Zhou Ziyang.

Zhou Ziyang introduced Jiang Menghan and also briefly introduced Li Chumei.

She said she was her roommate's girlfriend.

"Roommates?" Jiang Menghan thought of Qi Tao and Zhang Dapeng.

Zhou Ziyang said yes, the roommate you haven't met.

They saw Xu Yiyang sitting there and said it was him.

At this moment, Xu Yiyang also looked up at Zhou Ziyang, clearly still angry with him, and snorted coldly without saying a word.

Seeing this, Li Chumei quickly tried to smooth things over, saying, "By the way, Yiyang was talking about you with me today!"

Zhou Ziyang naturally didn't believe it, but he still asked with a smile, "Oh? Is that so?"

"Yeah, Yiyang told me that you've taken good care of him since the start of the semester, and that he'll definitely treat you to a meal sometime. He'll bring his sister along then."

As Li Chumei spoke, she smiled and looked at Jiang Menghan.

Zhou Ziyang nodded and said, "There's no such thing as taking care of anyone."

"We in the dorm are all very envious of Yiyang for having such a virtuous girlfriend as Chumei."

Li Chumei chuckled.

While they were chatting, a burst of cheers came from the card game.

"It's all your fault! Stop yelling and I told you we should have gone out three!" Xu Yiyang was furious, saying that Qi Tao had disrupted his rhythm.

Qi Tao retorted, "You weren't listening to me anyway!"
"Stop talking nonsense, you lost, so just concede!"

As Qi Tao spoke, he began to shoo people away.

In this round, Lin Siyao is the landlord, and she wins against the other three players.

"You guys play, I have something to do in my dorm, so I won't play anymore," said Shao Sisi, the class assistant.

"I'm not playing anymore either," the boys from the next dorm said one after another.

"Hey, wait!" Qi Tao had just started playing, and if this person doesn't play and that person doesn't play either, Lin Siyao might have to go back to the dormitory!
Qi Tao felt really unlucky; why did he always encounter this kind of thing?

He quickly looked at Zhou Ziyang for help: "Old Zhou, do you want to play for a while?"

Zhou Ziyang said I'm not very good at playing cards.

"It's alright, it's alright, just come over and make up the number, please." Qi Tao quickly put his hands together in prayer.

Zhou Ziyang looked at Jiang Menghan and asked, "Do you want to play?"

Jiang Menghan shook her head, indicating that she should go and have fun.

"I'm watching from the side."

Zhou Ziyang figured he was bored anyway, so he didn't refuse.

We're currently one person short.

Qi Tao looked at Xu Yiyang.

Xu Yiyang snorted coldly, thinking to himself, "Even if you beg your father, he still won't play."

To everyone's surprise, Qi Tao completely ignored Xu Yiyang and said, "Sister Chu Mei! Why don't you play a couple of rounds?"

"Tch!" Li Chumei never expected that this little boy would have the nerve to talk to her. It was quite interesting.

"Are you stupid? You think you can call me 'Sister Chu Mei'?!"

For some reason, Xu Yiyang suddenly became anxious when he heard Qi Tao call Chu Mei "Sister Chu Mei." Li Chu Mei told him not to worry.

He said, "Then I'll play with you guys."

At this moment, Lin Siyao was wearing a black tank top. She had just won several rounds in a row and was in a pretty good mood. She didn't hold it against Qi Tao. Since they wanted to play, she would let them play a few more rounds.

So the four of them started playing Dou Dizhu (a popular Chinese card game). Shao Sisi and the boys from the next dormitory watched for a while, and when it was almost time, they all left.

In the first game, Zhou Ziyang didn't know their strength, so he basically just played casually.

After the first round ended, Zhou Ziyang felt even more bored, realizing it was just a bunch of newbies.

Li Chumei doesn't seem to play cards much, but she's quite clever; she started using strategy and offense from the second hand onwards.

As for Lin Siyao, she's a seasoned veteran, clearly someone who plays cards frequently.

So they kept playing, one game after another, until fewer and fewer people left the cafeteria and the lights were turned off one by one.

Apart from Jiang Menghan and two others who stayed with her, almost everyone else had left.

Qi Tao won the landlord battle and was quite happy.

But upon closer inspection, it became clear that the other three people seemed rather dull.

After a moment's thought, Qi Tao said, "It's no fun playing like this. How about we play for a wager?"

"How would you like to play?"

No sooner had Qi Tao finished speaking than Lin Siyao interrupted him.

Upon hearing this, Zhou Ziyang chuckled.

It's obvious that Lin Siyao really wants to play the lottery.

Seemingly understanding the meaning behind Zhou Ziyang's smile, Lin Siyao's face turned slightly red.

"It's simple, we'll play for one dollar a round, and then the bombs will double the stakes, what do you guys think?" Feeling that Lin Siyao was very supportive of his idea, Qi Tao started to perk up.

Upon hearing that the game involved money, Xu Yiyang, who was standing nearby, immediately said, "What's the point of betting one yuan per hand? Ten yuan per card would be more appropriate."

Upon hearing this, Zhou Ziyang felt that the class was truly full of hidden talents, with some even worth ten yuan a card.

Jiang Menghan was completely confused and asked Zhou Ziyang, "What does it mean that a card costs ten yuan?"

Zhou Ziyang said, "Let's see how many cards are left. If there's one card left, it's worth ten yuan."

"Then if not a single card is played, wouldn't that be several hundred?" Jiang Menghan said in surprise after understanding.

Zhou Ziyang nodded with a smile.

"Do you think I can't take a joke? Sit down and I'll play with you!" Qi Tao said without hesitation.

Xu Yiyang was now really interested. He thought to himself, "I'm short of money anyway, so since you're offering to give me money, I won't be polite."

Thinking it over, he said to Li Chumei, "Sister Chumei, get up, I'll play with them for a bit."

The oldest among them was Li Chumei, who was also the most mature and steady. She definitely wouldn't let them mess around like that, so she said, "Let's just forget about it. Playing cards for fun is fine, but it's not good to gamble with money."

Li Chumei's words silenced the others. Qi Tao said, "Then let's play for one yuan, just to show our support, right, Lao Zhou?"

Zhou Ziyang said I had no objection.

Li Chumei had always thought that Zhou Ziyang should be more mature and steady, but she didn't expect him to agree so readily.

After thinking for a moment, he said, "Since you've said that, I'll play with you for a while."

"Hehe! Siyao, what do you think?" Qi Tao grinned, asking Lin Siyao as if seeking praise.

Lin Siyao thought to herself, "You've finally done something good."

But she said expressionlessly, "I'm fine with it too."

"okay!"

So Qi Tao started shuffling the cards, and Xu Yiyang, upon learning that it was for money, clearly became somewhat tempted.

The group played several more rounds, with each player winning and losing.

However, Lin Siyao won the most.

It was rare to see a smile on Lin Siyao's face.

She usually has a blank expression, but the more she plays cards, the more she smiles.

Qi Tao looked regretful and said he had played the wrong card.

"Siyao, you won again! You must have won quite a bit this time!"

"No, not at all." Lin Siyao looked very happy and said that she was just lucky.

In fact, Lin Siyao won the most games against Zhou Ziyang.

Zhou Ziyang lost to Lin Siyao by about ten yuan, so Lin Siyao was a little embarrassed and took the initiative to talk to Zhou Ziyang.

She said, "Is that an iPhone 6s?"

"Oh."

Zhou Ziyang noticed that he was referring to the iPhone 6s that he had placed on the table, so he nodded in agreement.

How much memory does it have?

“128g.” Zhou Ziyang said to Lin Siyao while drawing cards.

Lin Siyao said, "Wow, they're really rich. They're even using Apple products."

Zhou Ziyang chuckled and said, "Don't you use an Apple too?"

“I have an iPhone 5, it’s outdated,” Lin Siyao said.

"Actually, all phones are the same as long as they work."

"Then shall we switch?" Lin Siyao said directly.

"?" Zhou Ziyang looked up.

Lin Siyao realized she had said the wrong thing, her face turned a little red, and she said, "I was just joking with you."

Zhou Ziyang thought to himself, "You don't seem to be joking."

At this moment, Zhou Ziyang felt Jiang Menghan rest her head on his shoulder.

It's almost 11 o'clock now, and Jiang Menghan had already gotten up early today.

I was definitely a little sleepy at this point.

Zhou Ziyang then asked her softly if she wanted him to take her back to her dormitory first.
Jiang Menghan shook her head and said, "You play first, I'll wait for you."

"I'm so envious," Lin Siyao said again.

Zhou Ziyang asked, "What are you envious of now?"

Lin Siyao said, "I really envy your loving relationship as a couple. Weiwei and I are so envious!"

"Lin Siyao, what are you saying!"

Actually, Xia Wei had been watching Zhou Ziyang and Jiang Menghan closely.

Jiang Menghan's delicate and pampered demeanor.

Xia Wei definitely wouldn't stand for it.

Xia Wei felt that Jiang Menghan was too pretentious.

He was caught off guard when Lin Siyao betrayed him.

Lin Siyao chuckled.

Seeing her smirking, Zhou Ziyang couldn't help but say, "Lin Siyao, I didn't realize you were so talkative."

"I always thought you were a rather aloof girl!"
