Chapter 37: Sincerity Is the Ultimate Killer Move

At this moment, the live stream chat was flooded with comments of overwhelming approval!

【I don't know if you'll believe this, but this is the first time I've ever admired someone this much. You truly deserve all the praise!】
【Seriously, your inner strength is incredible. If it were me, I wouldn't have been able to handle it.】
【Even though it’s easy to say, very few people could actually do it! I’m in awe!】
【I’m in love! Su Chen, you were so calm and collected—that "Deepest Affection" persona of yours is just too cool, it’s killing me!】
【I want to apologize for my previous rash and rude comments. I’m sorry. You are a real man, and you have my respect!】
……

In the studio, everyone present could not help but express their admiration. Even Chen Shuya, the host sitting to the side, felt a sense of wonder that lingered for a long time. It was no wonder she had felt drawn to him when they spent time together that afternoon. A man like him—rational, powerful, humorous, and stable—was difficult for any woman to resist, not to mention he was handsome too!

She confirmed it… it wasn’t her fault; she had simply fallen into the same trap as any other woman!

Composing herself, Chen Shuya continued to ask, "Do you harbor any resentment toward the netizens who cursed at you before?"

The moment the question left her lips, many viewers in the live stream fell silent. The screen went quiet for an instant. That was a rather unfriendly question… Hey, we already admitted we were wrong, didn't we? Why keep poking at the wound?

In truth, they knew deep down that Su Chen, the "Deepest Affection," had every reason to blame them. After all, he had done nothing wrong, yet for the sake of the bigger picture, he couldn't explain himself and had to endure the insults. Anyone in his position would be unhappy.

Su Chen smiled calmly and shook his head. "No. Because I understand clearly that it was precisely because they had good intentions and a strong moral compass that they felt such intense hatred toward me. From their perspective, they were simply berating a clown with no bottom line, no character, and no integrity, who was using cheap tricks to chase clout.

"Whether you look at the motivation behind the actions or the process and outcome of the entire event, it was all orchestrated by me. They were unaware; they were simply standing up for what is right because of their own inherent kindness. Therefore, no matter how I look at it, I have no reason to blame them. Furthermore, if it weren't for their kindness, this matter wouldn't have had such a massive impact, and in the end, we might not have raised enough money to treat Pingping’s illness. So, in the end, it’s just because we are all good people who did a good deed, which led to a good result!"

This was simply Su Chen’s take on human nature from a different level. He couldn't exactly say, "I wasn't betting on your kindness; I was betting on your malice," in the live stream, could he? That would have made for an awkward ending!

As Su Chen finished speaking, the chat erupted again.

【…I’m almost in tears. I never expected that the person who understood us best was the one we misunderstood and chased with insults!】
【This warmed my heart. Su Chen, you are truly a good person, and you deserve all the beauty in this world.】
【No matter what, even though it was a misunderstanding, the fact remains that I cursed at you. I still want to apologize for my behavior.】

【Oh my god, how can there be such a good person? I’m a fan now!】
【Uh, your account was banned by the platform, so we can’t follow you…】
……

"I see in the chat that viewers are mentioning your account was banned. Have you applied to the platform for reinstatement?" Chen Shuya asked with a smile.

Su Chen smiled back. "I’ve already applied, and it’s currently under review. But it doesn't matter if it hasn't been approved yet; I have a secondary account. Any viewers who like me can go follow that one."

"Oh? So you have a secondary account!" Chen Shuya asked, slightly surprised. "Quick, tell us what it is so we can all follow it. I think we’re all dying to know."

"I’m a bit embarrassed to say this, but my secondary account has actually been trending recently..." Su Chen said with a shy smile. "Because that account just released a new original work!"

As soon as he said this, everyone was surprised and curious, and their admiration for him deepened. They hadn't expected the "Deepest Affection" Su Chen to be such a talented man—kind, strong, and artistic. He was the complete package; they loved him even more!

Instantly, the chat was filled with viewers guessing which music account belonged to him. Many even started searching their own follow lists to see which account matched his description. However, some of the quicker-witted viewers suddenly had a bad premonition.

*Recently trended… released a new song… Su Chen… "Difficult"…*

*Oh no! No way! I’m going to explode—it couldn't be…*

Su Chen let out a hearty laugh and announced, "Haha, my secondary account is called 'Difficult Affection,' and the new song is titled 'Old Driver, Take Me With You'..."

The moment he finished, the room fell silent. Everyone in the live stream, including the host and all the staff on-site, was stunned in disbelief.

*What… what did he just say? What did he call it?*
*He’s the original author of that brainwashing, demonic song 'Old Driver, Take Me With You'? You’ve got to be kidding me!*

The next second, the live stream chat exploded.

【Holy crap, is this for real? Su Chen is the author of that source of all evil?】
【No way, no way. This is unimaginable. I can’t connect the two at all—the contrast is too huge!】
【My brain is melting. My idol, why would you write a song like this?】
【I’m speechless. I found the culprit in this serious setting. Who can understand how I feel? It’s just too complicated!】
【Honestly, can I take back my apology? Even though I cursed you, you’ve deeply damaged my ears and my soul!】
……

Even Chen Shuya looked at Su Chen with a strange expression, sighing, "I really had no idea you had this kind of talent! May I ask what state of mind you were in when you wrote this song?"

This was the question on every viewer's mind. They wanted to know what kind of grudge he held to write such a song to torment them!

Su Chen laughed immediately. "Actually, there wasn't any special state of mind. It’s not difficult to write a song like that. If you all like it, I can write more..."

【Hey, hey, hey! We aren't complimenting you! Stop that dangerous line of thought!】
【Ah… no, no, no! Please, just stay as our quiet, cool idol!】
【No, absolutely not… we really don’t want to hear it. Don’t write any more!】
【My image of you is completely shattered. What happened to the aloof, cool idol? My filter is broken!】
……

The impact of Su Chen’s reveal was so explosive that no one could calm down for a long time. This atmosphere lasted until the viewer Q&A segment, when their attention finally shifted. Unexpectedly, the first viewer to connect was a fan of Su Chen’s secondary account!

"Brother Su Chen, I’m a fan of your secondary account. I followed you even before you released 'Old Driver, Take Me With You'! I admire your 'godly replies' the most. Every time I read them, I can’t stop laughing. Is there a trick to it? Can you teach me?"

When the others heard this, the viewers rushed to check out the "godly replies" on the "Difficult Affection" account. Well, they didn't know until they looked; once they did, they were laughing so hard they were shaking like they had a seizure.

Su Chen smiled and replied, "Believe me, sincerity is the only ultimate move!"

Everyone rolled their eyes in disdain. *Sincerity, my foot! If we hadn't just curiously checked your previous replies, we might have actually believed your nonsense!*

"Really, don't disbelieve me!" Su Chen explained with a smile. "Let’s put it this way: if something is false, no matter how you talk about the other person, they won't get angry. The only reason they would get angry is because you know what they said is the truth!

"Although the logic is sound, I personally don't recommend attacking others' shortcomings—it’s not very civil or polite. So, we should analyze from the perspective of the video content. Once you find the core point that hits the mark, and you express the emotion straightforwardly, only then can you resonate with everyone. You guys understand what I’m saying now, right?"

The viewers were stunned. *This… this actually makes a lot of sense, doesn't it?*

And more importantly… *Why are you seriously teaching us this? We’re dying of laughter here!*
