Chapter 218: From Haters to Fans, From Neutral to Fans – All Praise
The third episode of "Super Genius" was broadcast online, and even when it was rebroadcast on TV the next day, it unsurprisingly achieved the highest ratings in its time slot.
[I seriously suspect I'm just filling in the numbers for Earthlings.]
[Shi Sui is too strong! Why did I only discover her as a treasure in the third episode?]
[Because the production team was dishonest, and the equipment malfunctioned, they didn't give him any screen time in the first episode, but then gave him random screen time in the second episode.]
[She's already incredibly strong in the game; no one could out-quiz Shi Sui during the buzzer-beater round!]
[Sister Sui, please stop asking questions! Jiang Tianyao next to me is crying her eyes out, hahaha.]
[I've been wanting to see a strong female lead go wild and kill everything; I'm so tired of women who just cry and whine.]
Jiang Tianyao's fainting from crying didn't attract much attention; netizens were still discussing Shi Sui.
[Ahhh, Shi Sui went to the advancement zone, so she's not getting any screen time anymore!]
[I told you we should give way to the weak, but Sister Sui is still too strong.]
[The guys answering questions these days are so handsome! Their cool, intellectual vibe is totally my type. Do they have Weibo? I want to follow them!]
[I highly recommend Xu Chaomu, especially in the second episode. When he and Shi Sui stand together, they look like the perfect couple from a popular academic novel.]
[Oh no! Xu Chaomu answered the questions too fast! She's gone to the advancement zone! Oh no, she won't get any screen time!]
[Didn't anyone notice Pei Shuoxun? He's so handsome!]
[I know he won first place at the International Chopin Piano Competition last year and is incredibly famous in the piano world! But it seems like it's just a hobby for him; he also has similar interests in racing, equestrianism, and painting… and has won awards in all of those internationally.]
[What! They won awards? That's incredible! Are they even human?]
[Everyone who sees him play the piano will fall in love with him! Sisters, I highly recommend him!]
[I just watched a video of Pei Shuoxun playing the piano, and I've completely fallen in love with it. But where is he now? ???]
[I've successfully advanced! Hahaha, three bitter laughs, no more screen time.]
[The handsome guy in the shot now—holy crap, he's successfully fallen for someone else!]
[I fell in love with Chi Yan from the very first episode; he's devastatingly handsome. But I can't find any information about him online, only that he's decked out in designer brands, especially the Patek Philippe watch on his wrist.]
[Tens of thousands?]
[6002G-001, tens of millions.]
All those words can be summed up in one sentence: [Holy crap!]
Just as netizens were marveling at how "what's wrong with having one more rich person in the world?", Chi Yan had already advanced and moved into the advancement zone.
The camera finally panned to the advancement zone.
[Ahhh, all the handsome guys and beautiful girls are sitting together, and Shi Sui looks so cool in the middle!]
[Good heavens, why did Chi Yan just leave? What is he doing? Is he trying to get rid of people?]
[He squatted down in front of Shi Sui. What was he going to do?]
[Why is there no sound? What are they whispering about?]
[Zoom in, I want to hear it!]
[What happened? Why did Chi Yan leave again, all radiant and beautiful? Did she go sit behind Shi Sui?]
Finally, the camera zoomed in, revealing a boy sitting casually, exuding an air of untamed arrogance, with a lollipop dangling from his mouth.
Eighteen is the age when you love sweets the most.

Unsurprisingly, this episode was all trending on Weibo.
Netizens commented that Shi Sui is incredibly strong; she's beautiful and powerful, embodying all the traits that humans admire in others.
Last episode was criticizing Shi Sui for having too much screen time, but this episode has completely changed its tune, with everyone wanting to dedicate a separate window to Shi Sui.
It's unbelievable that people who initially disliked someone have become fans, and that the comments section of trending topics is full of praise with not a single hater.
One of the contestants posted a photo of herself with Shi Sui.
[The third episode has aired and the elimination rounds are over! My new life adventure has ended. I'm grateful for the encounter. PS: Shi Sui is really beautiful, incredibly talented, and has a wonderful personality. Becoming Shi Sui's dream girl is as easy as breathing.]
In the group photo, Shi Sui's short hair gives her a touch of heroism and dashingness. She looks beautiful and cool, which is reassuring.
[Wow, Shi Sui is so handsome!]
[OMG, even a non-fan like me is amazed by how handsome he is.]
[No wonder the fans in the audience were all calling her "husband," I'm totally hooked, I'm going to be their fangirl now.]
[Please, sister, don't post about my husband!]
Half the comment section was filled with people calling him "husband," when suddenly someone asked: "[Hey blogger, did you take any photos with the other contestants?]"
This question from one netizen has been met with countless responses.
[I want to see handsome photos of Chi Yan, but there are only clips from the show, and I can't find any online.]
[I want to see photos of Xu Chaomu.]
[I want to see...]
A few minutes later, the blogger replied: [Sorry everyone, I only took a photo with Shi Sui, but Shi Sui is their classmate. You can ask her on Shi Sui's Weibo.]
The show "Super Student" did not reveal the schools of the contestants.
[Haha, the beautiful girl and handsome guy I'm a fan of are actually my classmates!]
[Which school? Which school? Let me see.]
[Found it! It's Xinghua Private High School, the same high school Jiang Tianyao attended!]
More and more netizens are searching for information about the school. Only students of Xinghua University can access the school forum, but the school's official website is open to the public.
A netizen posted a photo saved from the school's official website. The photo is a class group photo, with Jiang Tianyao and Gu Chenyi standing in the center.
[Holy crap, isn't that the rich kid who cheated? He's from this high school too?]
[Jiang Tianyao and Gu Chenyi are wearing matching shoes. Could their relationship be something else entirely?]
Every netizen is a Sherlock Holmes.
[In this photo, Jiang Tianyao and Gu Chenyi are wearing matching watches.]
[Furthermore, the hair tie on Gu Chenyi's wrist belonged to Jiang Tianyao.]
[In the background of this photo, the figures holding hands, arms around each other, and waists—is that Jiang Tianyao and Gu Chenyi?]
……
Gu Chenyi and Jiang Tianyao were far too high-profile and ostentatious at school.
Although they weren't the main subjects in the photos promoting events on the school's official website, you could always find glimpses of their affectionate relationship in the background.
An undeniable protagonist aura.
[Jiang Tianyao and Gu Chenyi are a real couple!]
[Gu Chenyi cheated, and Jiang Tianyao is his girlfriend. Could she have cheated too?]
Do not create, believe, or spread rumors.
[Jiang Tianyao's behavior in this episode was really strange.]
[I could solve that game in five minutes, but she couldn't. I don't believe a true genius can't even do this.]
She didn't try to answer a single question.
[She was crying and sobbing, I don't know what she was crying about. If it was because she couldn't get the question, I could understand, but her hand wasn't even on the button.]
[Didn't you see Tian Tian faint? She wasn't feeling well and didn't perform well this episode!]
[I've always wanted to say that she looked like she was faking fainting.]
Soon, netizens edited a slow-motion video of Jiang Tianyao fainting.
Let's investigate whether Jiang Tianyao truly fainted or faked it.
[In this shot, Jiang Tianyao is looking down at the ground; this is where she later fainted!]
[She planned in advance where she would faint, and as soon as the camera focused on her, she collapsed.]
[This slow-motion replay shows her avoiding the obstacles.]
[Bend your knees, slowly fall to your side, touch the ground with your hands, and finally land on your buttocks.]
[This fainting posture is quite professional, reducing the risk of head and spine injury.]
……
[Holy crap, no wonder she seemed fake when she fainted.]
[Go watch the pre-match interview video; Jiang Tianyao is in great condition and there's no indication she'll faint.]
Another netizen posted a pre-match interview.
In the video, the girl looked radiant. When asked about her goals by the host, she confidently replied that she was sure she could get a perfect score.
[Haha, this is hilarious! That pre-match boasting segment!]
[He was in such good form before the match, but he fainted right after the game. I don't believe it.]
[Fake fainting confirmed!]
[There's no reason for him to fake fainting, is there?]
[If she got her grades by cheating before, and this time she couldn't cheat, and couldn't answer a single question, wouldn't she faint?]
[Watch your mouth! Sweetie didn't cheat; she just fainted because she wasn't feeling well.]
……
Jiang Tianyao is trending on Weibo, and twice in a row, squeezed at the bottom of the trending list.
Jiang Tianyao and Gu Chenyi (couple)
Was Jiang Tianyao really dizzy or faking it?
Jiang Tianyao often searches her own name online, so she saw it as soon as it became a trending topic.
I panicked all of a sudden.
She's currently in the prime of her career; dating would affect her filming, variety show appearances, and endorsement deals...
I must maintain the persona of being single.
Under Jiang Chenjin's guidance, Jiang Tianyao quickly issued a statement declaring herself single.
She put on a weak, sick makeup look, took a selfie, and dug out old photos of herself being sick and receiving IV drips from her album.
He said he was feeling unwell and his poor performance on the show worried his fans.
Hopefully, this content won't be deliberately dragged out to trend on social media, wasting public resources.
Finally, they hired online trolls.
The trending topics comments quickly turned into 'Hugs to Sweetie, my heart aches for Sweetie' and 'Get well soon, Sweetie baby'...
only--
The enthusiastic student Xinghua posted her report card!
Furthermore, it confirmed the relationship between Jiang Tianyao and Gu Chenyi.
[Holy crap, Jiang Tianyao's grades aren't even in the top 100!?]
[Didn't she get a perfect score in the first episode? Wasn't everyone online praising her as a top student?]
[This top student's academic record is highly questionable.]
[She's not a celebrity, why is she hiding her relationship with Gu Chenyi? It's like nobody cares.]
[Isn't Gu Chenyi a rich second-generation cheater? Jiang Tianyao is his girlfriend, could she have cheated too?]
[I never expected Jiang Tianyao to be this kind of person. She's completely different from the pure and kind persona she portrays. Has this caused a scandal?]
……
The online comments were overwhelming, and Jiang Tianyao spent a chaotic week.
After the variety show aired, she discovered that her scenes had been cut. The next day, the campus drama told her that there was a more suitable candidate for the female lead.
Young people these days are too prone to making mistakes, and production companies can't afford the risk, so they immediately replace them.
Meanwhile, Gu Chenyi, who had finally managed to quell the cheating, was dragged out for another round of trouble.
Gu Chenyi was extremely annoyed and responded to netizens online with his true feelings: So what if it's cheating? What's the big deal?!
……
Everything has turned upside down.
Gu's Group stock has fallen again.
