When Chen Guodong finished speaking.

An eerie silence fell over the entire auditorium.

Everyone was stunned.

The students who were crying their hearts out and preparing to denounce Su Bai were now all standing there with their mouths open, tears still on their faces, their expressions frozen in astonishment.

The script is wrong!

We've been stabbed so badly, shouldn't the school leaders stand up, righteously criticize Su Bai's behavior of deceiving the audience's feelings, and then soothe our wounded hearts?

How come they gave it the highest rating right away?

It feels like you've been beaten up.

When the authorities arrived, instead of arresting the perpetrator, they presented him with a banner praising his superb boxing skills and his service in eliminating a scourge for the people!

Where the hell can I go to seek justice?

However, Chen Guodong paid no attention to these spectators.

He stared intently at Su Bai on the stage, his gaze filled with unprecedented admiration.

He doesn't care whether the audience is crying or cursing.

All he knew was that the Animation Department of Jiangcheng Academy of Fine Arts had been dormant for too long and needed a chance to make a name for itself!

And Su Bai is that opportunity!

On stage, the host, a shrewd man, noticed the department head personally stepping down to say these words.

They immediately seized the opportunity and forcefully brought the process back on track.

"Thank you, Director Chen, for recognizing Su Bai!"

The host shouted in a trembling voice, trembling with excitement.

"A great work will inevitably evoke the most profound emotional resonance from the audience! Now, let's move on to the much-anticipated Q&A session with the author! If you have any questions for our Su Bai, please raise your hand!"

The voice just fell.

Below the stage, nearly a thousand arms were raised in unison.

The scene was less of a question and more of a large-scale revenge killing.

In every pair of bloodshot eyes burned the raging fire that had brought me here.

Just as the host was hesitating about who to call on, a figure suddenly stood up from the front row.

She was a short girl, the one who had cried while eating popcorn earlier.

Her makeup was completely ruined; her eyeshadow and tears were all mixed together.

But at that moment, she ignored everything and snatched the microphone from the staff member next to her.

Those movements were swift, precise, and ruthless!

All eyes in the room instantly focused on her.

The girl gripped the microphone tightly.

She raised her head and stared intently at Su Bai on the stage with her tear-filled eyes.

Her voice trembled, hoarse from crying, yet she spoke each word clearly.

"Su Bai!"

"Didn't you say this was a healing anime?"

"Why did you write such a dead language! Why are you treating us like this!"

As she finished speaking, her voice could no longer hold back, turning into a sorrowful and indignant cry.

"Don't you have a conscience?!"

This question expressed the sentiments of everyone present!

Suppressed anger was reignited!

All eyes turned to Su Bai, awaiting his explanation.

Faced with a scene that would make any creator's legs go weak, Su Bai smiled.

He took the microphone from the host, his face showing no remorse, but rather an innocent expression, even with a perfectly appropriate hint of confusion.

He slowly spread his hands, facing the girl and the entire audience.

Why is everyone crying?

His one sentence silenced the entire room once again; everyone was stumped by his question.

Don't you have any idea why we're crying?

Su Bai tilted his head and continued speaking in a matter-of-fact tone.

"It's a happy ending. Look!"

He counted slowly and methodically on his fingers.

"Menma fulfilled Jinta's wish to make him cry. Not only did she no longer have to be a bound spirit, but she also successfully became a Buddha and was reincarnated. This is the best ending for her."

"The friends resolved their decade-long misunderstanding, were honest with each other, and reconciled."

"The male protagonist, Jinta, has also completely overcome the shadows of the past, started going back to school, and returned to a normal life."

He paused, surveyed the room, his gaze sweeping over the stunned faces, and finally smiled as he asked:

"Everyone has been redeemed, and everything is moving in the best direction. This is the ultimate healing."

The audience's brains went completely blank!

The girl who asked the question had trembling lips.

Looking at the man on the stage with his kind smile and innocent eyes, she felt as if her worldview had been shattered by a punch.

What he said seems to make some sense?

But to hell with that logic!

"I'll cure you, you big idiot!!!"

The girl finally broke down completely. She no longer cared about her image and pointed at Su Bai, letting out a heart-wrenching roar.

"You old scoundrel Su! You call this healing? You have no heart!!!"

This roar, like a bugle call to charge, instantly ignited the entire auditorium!

"I don't believe you! That old geezer is wicked!"

"To kill someone is to destroy their spirit! Su Bai, give me back my tears! Give me back Menma!"

"I can't believe your lies! You promised a healing anime, but you've ripped my heart to shreds, and now you're telling me it's a happy ending?!"

"Guys, enough chit-chat, I've already ordered my razor blades!"

The wave of condemnation was more intense than ever before!

......

This scene is a famous moment in history where the author publicly mocks the audience for their low tear threshold.

It was broadcast live to the entire internet via the mobile phones of the audience at the scene!

The invited guests at the college's graduation project screening had already generated considerable buzz.

In addition, Su Bai's PV raised the audience's expectations even higher.

Since the official channels weren't broadcasting live, viewers found their way into the live streams of the audience members at the scene.

After a few tenths of a second of silence, the live stream chat exploded with a burst of comments, completely flooding the screen!

Did I hear that right? He said a happy ending??

This guy has an incredibly thick skin! How dare he say something like that?!

I was stunned. I had just finished crying and was pulling out tissues when his words forced me to stop crying!

[Murder is a crime! I'll repeat that a hundred times! Otherwise, I'm really afraid I'll lose control and buy a train ticket to Jiangcheng to attack someone!]

[#SuBaiRedefinesHealing# Brothers, let's get this topic trending! We must let the whole internet know the ugly face of this old scoundrel!]

The internet has completely exploded!

The instigator of all this, Su Bai, simply watched the chaos unfold before him calmly, his heart unmoved.

He knew it perfectly well.

As long as the author insists on seeing healing as a cure, this huge cognitive gap between the author and the audience will act like a perpetual motion machine, continuously generating buzz for him.

[Strong cognitive dissonance and anger were detected in the audience.]

[Congratulations, host! Depression level +88!]

[Congratulations, host! Depression level +35!]

……

Hearing the system notification in his mind.

Su Bai is having an amazing time!
