You Say You Believe in Science, But You Fly on a Sword - Chapter 42
Chapter 42: If You Can Do It, You Do It; If Not, Shut Up
A press conference finally came to an end.
Although foreign reporters made various difficulties, with Wu Qingsong and Liu Qiming holding the fort, the other party did not catch any loopholes and had to leave helplessly.
On the evening of the press conference, a Weibo account called “Qing’an” entered the public eye.
Certification: Academician of the Chinese Academy of Sciences.
The first Weibo post was, “My first day as an academician at Huake Academy. ”
Attached: [Video excerpt from today’s Huake Academy press conference].
Very quickly, within ten minutes, the likes exceeded 40,000, and the comments exceeded 3,000.
yolos430: The academician is so cool!
Thirty Li Peach Blossoms: Hahahahahahaha everyone, quickly look at the academician at one minute and thirty-five seconds, that expression is so cute hahahahahaha
Two Squirrels: Academician is mighty! A seventeen-year-old academician, truly astounding!
Why are you suitable: My mother has been scolding me for half a day because of the academician…
Hedgehogs have no thorns: Am I the only one who wants to know who the girl on the academician’s homepage is…
Yuanshen, what did you do to me: +1 to the above
Su Qin’an looked at these comments and fell into deep thought…
Ten minutes later, a second Weibo post appeared on Su Qin’an’s account.
“Everyone must be curious about who the girl on my homepage is? Now for an official announcement. My girl, @Liuhe Qinghuan, is my girlfriend.

——1 minute ago, Imperial Capital. ”
The comments below were roughly divided into several waves of people.
One wave immediately declared their support for Xie Yingqing and Su Qin’an, and even tried to coax Su Qin’an into revealing his girlfriend’s name.
One wave lamented how beautiful Xie Yingqing was, and what they needed to do to have such a girlfriend.
Another wave said Su Qin’an was not yet an adult, and that early romance was not a good influence…
Su Qin’an picked out some of the earliest comments to reply to, expressing gratitude, such as “My girlfriend is very beautiful, I love her” and things like that.
As for those who said that Su Qin’an, a public figure, was in an early romance…
Five minutes later, a third Weibo post appeared.
“Firstly, I would like to express my gratitude for everyone’s well wishes for my girlfriend and me. Secondly, to those who say my early romance is a bad influence, I can only say, if you can also become an academician at Huake Academy at seventeen, then you can date with peace of mind, and no one will care about you. If you can’t, please shut your mouth, do your work honestly, and be a good person, thank you!
——1 minute ago, Imperial Capital. ”
Xie Yingqing has always been Su Qin’an’s bottom line, not allowing anyone to touch her, not even criticism.
There was still a flood of comments under the Weibo post.
Most people thought Su Qin’an’s retort was good, that he should date if he wanted to, and didn’t need to care about the haters.
Others thought the others were too lenient in their criticism…
Some were frantically begging Su Qin’an to reveal Xie Yingqing’s information in the comments section, but Su Qin’an ignored them.
“You’re a celebrity now! ”
At home, Xie Yingqing lay on the sofa, looking at Su Qin’an’s Weibo homepage, and smiled: “Look, it’s only been so long, and you already have more than 300,000 fans! On the entire Weibo, only you could gain 300,000 fans from three posts! ”
The first video of the Huake Academy academician investiture ceremony directly gave Su Qin’an 200,000 more fans.
The next two posts, the official announcement of Xie Yingqing and his retort, gained another 100,000 fans.
Xie Yingqing’s account also gained over 60,000 followers without even posting a single Weibo…
Su Qin’an smiled: “No way, didn’t Old Liu and the others say they wanted to package me as some kind of scientific star… Isn’t this exactly what they wanted? ”
“But will the Cultivation World…”
Xie Yingqing suddenly said: “This is different from them secretly breaking the rules before. You’re now a prominent figure, you’ve openly put your rule-breaking actions on display! ”
The rules she referred to were naturally the rules of the Cultivation World that had been secretly broken countless times: “Cultivators must not interfere in mortal affairs. ”
“Yingqing, don’t panic! ”
Su Qin’an wasn’t worried at all: “Think carefully, does the Cultivation World have any clear articles stating that cultivators cannot interfere in mortal affairs? ”
“…”
Xie Yingqing thought for a while and said: “There aren’t any, but…”
“Don’t worry! ”
Su Qin’an didn’t let her finish: “First, they have no legitimate reason to act. Second, even if someone wants to make small moves, with Master and the other six guarding us, who dares to cause trouble in China? ”
“Actually, I feel like you’ve been targeted recently…”
Xie Yingqing hesitated for a moment: “Recently, every time I go out with you, I can feel someone following us, I don’t know what they’re doing. ”
“They…”
Su Qin’an smiled: “They must be Old Liu’s people protecting us. After all, I’m an academician now, and I’ve also created controllable nuclear fusion… It’s hard to guarantee that other countries won’t have any thoughts about me, but their intentions are good, although their actions… are excessive. ”
Ordinary people simply couldn’t kill him. Even if he stood still and let them hit him, ordinary guns and cannons couldn’t break through his defenses.
“So, your treatment is pretty good! ”
Xie Yingqing laughed: “Now you also have personal protection at all times? ”
“Who says not? ”
As the two were chatting, Su Qin’an’s cell phone suddenly rang.
Thief of the World: You brat… What am I supposed to say to you?
Qin Shiqing’an: What’s up?
Thief of the World: Why did you directly announce it on Weibo?
Qin Shiqing’an: Is there a problem?
Thief of the World: This… it’s true there’s nothing wrong with people saying you’re in an early romance…
Qin Shiqing’an: You too?
Qin Shiqing’an: Same as before, those who say I’m in an early romance, if they can also come up with controllable nuclear fusion, then let them speak. If they can’t, then let them shut up.
Thief of the World: That’s the logic, I don’t think you’re wrong either, but the impact…
This could be interpreted as the nation supporting early romance!
Qin Shiqing’an: That’s easy to handle, as long as you slightly guide it, you can turn it into motivation for countless young people to learn!
Thief of the World: …I have to admit, you’re quite talented!
Indeed, anyone with discerning eyes can see that those who criticize early romance are more or less stuck in their ways, it’s better to use this to give the country a huge dose of inspirational chicken soup.
To put it bluntly, they have the ability, and with ability comes privilege, there’s no problem at all!
As for how to administer this chicken soup…
Just leave it to the Entertainment Department.
In short, Su Qin’an and Xie Yingqing’s lives didn’t change much after Su Qin’an became an academician.
Until…
One day, Liu Qiming suddenly received a message from his subordinate.
“Minister! The little girl we were supposed to protect… knows martial arts! And it seems she also knows some… True Qi? ”
Liu Qiming:???
“What’s going on? Tell me carefully! ” Liu Qiming was dumbfounded: “She’s just a little girl, she looks even younger than Qin’an, how good could she be at fighting? ”
“No… we can’t describe it well, but she’s really good at fighting! ”
Liu Qiming felt that he could see the subordinate’s dumbfounded expression through the screen.
