I'm afraid I'm not interested in love

Chapter 587 Behind the Genius
After the annual game awards ceremony, Su Chengyi officially stepped out from behind the scenes and stepped onto the stage.

Having created such a lot of buzz, the media, to which traffic is more important than life, will naturally not let him go easily.

Overnight, the titles of 737 top scorer in science, young and promising gaming genius, and super cool-faced handsome guy were thrown at him.

Su Chengyi once again felt a familiar worry.

“Too red.”

This kind of "popularity" is different from the accidental popularity of internet celebrities, but rather a popularity that is the result of multiple factors.

On the one hand, under the influence of exam-oriented education, society has a strong filter for people with high IQ, not to mention the title of "top scorer in the college entrance examination" which has been a wake-up call throughout the ages.

On the other hand, mainstream media also have to cater to positive themes. Compared with topics like which queen of pop is divorcing which king of pop is getting divorced or which popular young actor is cheating on his wife and has his reputation ruined, reports on young and promising people with good family backgrounds are of course more likely to win favor.

What's more, college students' entrepreneurship has been a hot topic in recent years. Su Chengyi happened to stand out at such a critical moment, so he will naturally be established as a model and example.

Although Su Chengyi had thought about the impact of exposing his identity, he had not expected it to reach this point. The situation was clearly beyond his control.

He underestimated the current media's means of hyping up things, and also underestimated how hard the spectators would try to watch the fun.

As a result, under the enthusiastic digging of netizens, even Su Chengyi's primary school to junior high school graduation photo was dug out.

Amid the smiling crowd stood a stern-faced little boy, frowning and looking very unhappy.

Even Su Chengyi himself no longer has this photo. He has no habit of keeping these photos, nor does he think they have any commemorative significance.

Unexpectedly, he was released again through the "power of the Internet". It is highly likely that it was done by one of his elementary school classmates.

Su Chengyi hesitated for a moment, then clicked on the large picture and stared at it for a long time.

Based on his understanding of himself, he was definitely not really unhappy at that time. The small possibility was that he didn't like facing the camera, but the most likely reason was that he was burned by the strong sun at that time.

In the graduation photo where everyone is smiling, he is the only one with this attitude. If it were in the past, people would definitely secretly complain about him:
You can tell at first glance that he's a bad-tempered little brat.

But things are different now.

Su Chengyi exited the picture and casually flipped through the comments below.

"Wow, it seems like there hasn't been much change since I was a kid."

"It turns out that handsome guys are always handsome when they are young!"

"Wow, why wasn't there someone like this in my youth? I've had a crush on him for ten years!"

"Doesn't anyone think he looks smart? Appearance really reflects the heart."

"."

After being filtered through a bunch of known conclusions, the evaluation will naturally be biased.

Su Chengyi thought that if he became an antisocial murderer when he grew up, the style of his comments would surely change accordingly.

"Damn, this guy looked very dark when he was a kid!"

"Oh my god, if it were me, I wouldn't dare to sit at the same table with him."

"It's like the weirdo who doesn't fit in in every class. Oh my god, it's so scary!"

There are even photos of elementary school, so there will naturally be no shortage of photos of middle school.

In addition, the group of guys from No. 1 Middle School always appear on the surfing front accurately. After all, there are platforms like anonymous official forums in schools.

"We are classmates of No. 1 Middle School. To be honest, it is an honor for us to be in the same generation as the great master. After every monthly exam, my pleasure is to look at the great master's results on the leaderboard - and then imagine how arrogant I would be if I got the same results."

"If I get over 730 points, no kidding, I will really ride my dad to school."

"I'll just ask Li Tianwang to make me coffee himself."

"I'm commandeering the principal's office."

"Wow, that guy upstairs who mentioned Li Tianwang, shake hands! We are certified as real alumni!"

"I cried and clenched my claws! I'm in college now, and I was scared awake by Li Tianwang's ward rounds in my dreams."

Watching the victims speak, Su Chengyi was silent for a while and wanted to comment:
In fact, even if she really passed the 737 exam, she would not be able to give orders to Li Tianwang, because she is the iron-blooded female soldier, the Iron Rose.

But his account user xxxxx, which was like a water army, would definitely be drowned out in the comment section, so he gave up.

Therefore, thanks to the efforts of enthusiastic people and netizens, the first half of Su Chengyi's life was completely restored.

His parents divorced when he was young, and he lived alone very strongly. During this period, he won all kinds of awards in competitions. He took the college entrance examination normally and won the top score in science with the highest score. After entering Peking University, he started his own business. After establishing a studio, the first officially released independent game won four awards.
"Since birth, he has been a genius who is independent of the world, with an IQ and depth of thought beyond that of ordinary people. He has always looked at the world with compassion, disdaining fame and wealth, and not good at fighting.

Perhaps geniuses are always lonely. Despite experiencing setbacks such as his parents' divorce, he still grew up tenaciously and worked hard to create a stunning and lonely universe like "Disco Elysium".

This is probably what the legend says: The world kisses me with pain, and I respond with song.

I have to say that netizens are good at making up stories.

After reading the summary of the last level, Su Chengyi was simply amazed.

My goodness, this is almost exaggerating his life into something beyond Long Aotian.

However, in reality, it is just the part that can be displayed that is magnified and exaggerated.

Even standing at this moment of success in his life and looking back at the past, Su Chengyi could not think of any moments worth remembering.

In the evening, each person practiced shooting the ball repeatedly into a basket. Under the setting sun, one could only see his or her own shadow stretched out very long.

When he returned home after evening self-study, it was pitch dark and the only thing that greeted him was cold air.

He was sick with a fever of 40 degrees and was unconscious, so he went to the hospital for an IV drip. Only the class teacher ran around to register and pay the fees for him.

There are many memories like this. Su Chengyi went through adolescence, the most critical period for shaping his three views, all alone.

A damp smell after the rain, a lonely and empty life.

As a modern human who is clearly not out of touch with society but can clearly feel that his language ability is deteriorating, Su Chengyi feels that he is one of the rare people.

The media will not pay attention to or report on things like this. This is not in line with current mainstream values, and is even less suitable for someone who is set up as a "role model" and "high-quality youth of the new era."

Occasionally, a few alumni of No. 1 Middle School would speak cautiously, saying that he was very low-key and probably didn't like to be in the spotlight, but they were quickly drowned out by the heated discussion.

In fact, "low-key" is already a very mild word. "World-weary" and "eccentric" are the main themes of the youth of Soochow University gods.

Su Chengyi had a strong premonition that if public opinion continued to ferment, he would definitely be assigned a new identity after tonight.

For example, he has a strong family background, is a rich second-generation young master, and is proficient in all kinds of skills.

Although I had heard about the Internet deification plan before, I felt very uncomfortable when I actually became the protagonist of the deification.

Because it is clear that for as many "innocent people" who blindly follow the public opinion, there are as many "rational passers-by" who are waiting for him to fall from the altar with malicious intent.

When some negative information about him is exposed, these bystanders will suddenly jump out and say something like "I've known for a long time that he was not a good person, but we were too popular before and didn't dare to say anything" and other nonsense.

But thinking of this, Su Chengyi couldn't help but reflect on himself. It seemed that he didn't have any black material worth making a fuss about, except for the matter of Shura Field.

Whoever mentions this will die.

"Boss Yi! You won't go ashore and kill your best friend first, right?"

Xu Yang hugged Su Chengyi's thigh with a sad face.

The latter resisted the urge to kick him away and said "Huh?" with a look of disgust.

"It's terrible! You have no idea how many people bombarded my WeChat today, asking me if I've been playing with you recently, and if I know that the game you made won an award or something."

Xu Yang took out his cell phone from his pocket and showed him the messages one by one.

"Not even so many people sent me messages on my birthday, but now they all popped up, wow!"

"Oh."

Su Chengyi was not very interested in this. His own WeChat was bombarded even more fiercely, which was very annoying, so he had blocked all the messages.

"Boss Yi, I'm not playing with you just because you're awesome, I swear to God!"

Suddenly thinking of this, Xu Yang immediately sat up straight on the sofa, raised three fingers and swore:

"Really, really, even if you're not the current boss of NB Krass's X1 Game Studio, you're still my best brother. I'm serious!"

"Thank you, you are such a good person."

Su Chengyi stretched his leg muscles and slowly handed him a good guy card.

Seeing that Xu Yang was about to start acting again, Han Bing, who couldn't bear it any longer, punched him.

"Okay, who are you trying to annoy here? This is so disgusting, I'm getting goosebumps all over the floor!"

As a person from a family of traditional Chinese medicine, her punch seemed to be of little strength, but in fact it hit a certain acupuncture point accurately. Xu Yang immediately fell on the sofa in pain, screaming "Ouch!"

"But it's true. Seeing a good friend of yours being mentioned in the news headlines makes me feel awkward, don't you think?"

Han Bing touched his arm, as if trying to wipe the goose bumps off it.

"Sister Bing, it seems that what you said is a little bit true."

Lin Tong raised his head from the sea of ​​papers and nodded in agreement.

"In fact, there is nothing else to say. It's just that the words used by the media are a bit too exaggerated. The real meaning is already good enough and does not need these flowery descriptions."

"What you said is not much different from what the media described."

Su Chengyi felt uncomfortable after hearing this and took the stack of printed papers from his hand.

The title is "Comparison of the efficacy of external ventricular drainage and neuroendoscopic minimally invasive surgery in the treatment of severe hypertensive intraventricular hemorrhage."

Su Chengyi silently stuffed the paper back into Lin Tong's hands.

Although he is a person who likes to do some superficial research in any field, a medical paper of this level would seem as obscure as a heavenly book without the support of professional knowledge.

Lin Tong smiled and continued to take notes on the paper with a red water-based pen. The whole page was already densely filled with his annotations in black and white.

It was Su Chengyi's suggestion that the few of them chose to get together today, and the location was the house that Miss Chu gave him as a gift on her last birthday.

Normally he wasn't the type to ask for a party, but this time it was different. If he stayed in school, the risk would be too high.

The discussion among classmates was put on hold for the time being, as the media kept rushing to the school to try to interview him, which was hard to guard against. Moreover, his roommates had already become traitors. In addition to pestering him with questions, they would also collaborate with the enemy and sell out his location.

He had no other choice but to go outside to avoid the limelight.

After all, this was a house that Miss Chu had personally chosen, a place that even the most capable paparazzi in the world couldn’t find.

A few friends came after hearing the news. On the surface, it was a team building event, but in reality it was more like an excuse to get together and eat and drink for free.

Xu Yang even disguised himself, wearing sunglasses, a mask and a hood, and acted sneaky all the way.

Han Bing mercilessly exposed that there was only one way for him to be followed by paparazzi, and that was to run on the street while shouting: "I know Su Chengyi! I have exclusive information about Su Chengyi!"

Lin Tong came from the library, so he brought the documents he was going to read today. In comparison, his purpose was very simple, which was to worry that Su Chengyi would have a social phobia attack and would feel uncomfortable in the current situation.

But obviously, he was worrying too much this time.

Since Su Chengyi chose to attend the "Disco Elysium" awards ceremony in person, it means that he is ready to stand completely in the spotlight.

There are reasons for lying dormant, and there are reasons for coming out of the mountains.

Only after seeing Su Chengyi's usual calm demeanor did Lin Tong feel relieved, so he curled up on the sofa and continued to read his documents calmly.

When Xu Yang went upstairs, he also brought up the KFC takeaway he ordered. At this moment, he was gnawing on a chicken leg, as if he was trying to turn his grief and anger into appetite.

"Speaking of which, since you're already so popular, please retweet my Weibo to help me gain more followers."

Han Bing put a straw into the Coke and said with a smile.

".If you really want, it's not impossible, but my Weibo account is this."

Su Chengyi raised the screen of his mobile phone and showed him the account with the ID "User xxxxx" and the default gray human-shaped stand as the avatar.

Of course, he also has another account with Gold V certification and millions of followers.

It’s a pity that it is called “Zhi Jin Chen”.

".Forget it! What a waste, I say."

Han Bing sighed and said patiently:

"This wave of traffic is not a bad thing. If you cooperate with the media and take advantage of it, it will be very helpful for the development of your game studio.

Whether you like it or not, this is the era of traffic. If you can seize it, you will be extremely rich. "

"Ok, I know."

Su Chengyi nodded. Of course he knew that what Han Bing said was true. She was advising him purely as a friend.

"Besides, I don't think you are afraid of these things. Didn't you speak very well at the award ceremony?"

Han Bing sipped his Coke and gave a malicious smile.

Xu Yang, who had just been punched by her and entered a long "knockdown buff", also jumped up suddenly and imitated her in a clear and loud voice:

“Che Guevara once said, if…”

Before he could finish his words, Su Chengyi grabbed his throat and pushed him back down on the sofa.
