Chapter 1703: Chapter 1703: To the Victor Go the Spoils
The Korean officials were worried Luo Ziling might say something else that would belittle the Korean audience, so they quickly signaled the host to control the scene and asked Luo Ziling to step down.
The female host also knew that the atmosphere would become awkward if it continued, so she immediately interrupted Luo Ziling, and with a bit of embarrassment, she said to him, âMr. Luo, the competition is over. Please return to your seat. Thank you for your cooperation!â
âAlright,â Luo Ziling flashed a smile at the beautiful female host, âThank you for your smile, youâre very pretty. If thereâs a chance, letâs have tea together!â
After speaking, Luo Ziling suppressed a laugh, saluted the crowd, and walked off the stage.
Luo Ziling surprisingly flirted with the female host in public and invited her for tea, reigniting the Korean audienceâs anger.
The Huaxia audience was a bit dumbfounded but soon realized that this was another way for Luo Ziling to humiliate the Koreans.
Neither Ling Ruonan nor Yang Qingyin paid attention to Luo Zilingâs public invitation to the female host for tea.
As Luo Ziling headed back to his seat, Ling Ruonan stood up to meet him and embraced him in full view of the audience and camera lenses.
Seeing the tears in Ling Ruonanâs eyes, Luo Ziling smiled and wiped them away jokingly, âMom, I won the competition, why are you crying? You should be laughing instead, otherwise, Iâd think you donât like my victory.â
The Huaxia CCAV live broadcast camera followed Luo Ziling, and when he returned to his seat, the long-arm camera turned to follow him as well.
Thus, Luo Zilingâs earlier teasing words and the tears on Ling Ruonanâs face were seen by audiences nationwide.
The fact that Ling Ruonan is Luo Zilingâs mother shocked many television viewers.
âWow, Zilingâs mom is truly beautiful. No, no, I canât marry him. With such a beautiful mother-in-law, I canât hold my head up for a lifetime.â Some lovestruck girl had a wild thought about this.
A lovestruck man exclaimed, âWow, goddess, so beautiful, no wonder Luo Ziling is so handsome, itâs hereditary. Clearly, he could rely on looks but became a national hero, a national male god, with his talent. The gap between people, how can it be so vast?â
Soon, more people were exclaiming because Luo Ziling held Ling Ruonanâs shoulder and saluted the audience.
The camera closely followed them, offering many close-up shots.
So, the handsome face of Luo Ziling and the stunningly beautiful face of Ling Ruonan repeatedly hit the eyes of the audience. After seeing the likeness of the mother and son, many felt complex emotions, their envy, jealousy, and hatred were intense, but Luo Zilingâs image further enlarged, that was certain.
Yang Qingyin and Luo Yuqing also stood up to embrace and cheer with Luo Ziling.
Fortunately, the domestic TV program host introduced Luo Yuqing, saying she was Luo Zilingâs sister.
âZilingâs sister is also so beautiful, like a national goddess, I feel so inferior!â Another lovestruck girl started lamenting again.
âOh my, what a beautiful sister, my heart was instantly struck by Cupidâs arrow for the first time, I fell in love at first sight.â
âA family of monsters, I really donât know what kind of successful man Zilingâs dad is, how handsome he must be. Hmm, I wonder who will be lucky enough to become Zilingâs brother-in-law, who can become his girlfriend. For the first time, I understood what it means to be well matched in terms of status, only those with similar conditions can walk together with them.â
âThe pretty sister by Zilingâs side who he once held hands with must be his girlfriend, right? Oh my god, sheâs so beautiful, my heart is broken, my national male god has been stolen by a beautiful girl, Iâm devastated.â
âToday, I was lucky to witness an exciting competition and see many beautiful girls; Iâm satisfied. Ahh, I want a screenshot, I want to capture their HD images and hang them over my bed to look at every day,â exclaimed a fanboy online.
Soon, someone replied, âYou want to look at the photos every day, donât you? Gross, right? Donât defile beauty, be wary of Luo Flying Needle taking your life.â
As the results of the competition were announced and close-up shots of Luo Ziling returning to his seat continued, the popularity on domestic websites and forums soared. Luo Zilingâs tieba popularity continued rising, with the server struggling to handle such high traffic, access speed noticeably slowed.
Dai Shulan, who always followed the competition, felt her heart settle after seeing Luo Ziling ultimately win.
She used her phone to capture some of Luo Zilingâs most charming photos and posted them in her circle of friends.
âItâs fortunate to be friends with the national male god, Iâm so lucky. Youth instantly feels radiant, life thus colorful. I really want to see him right away to congratulate him in person. By the way, I must write a book for him next time.â This WeChat message was set to be visible only to Luo Ziling, others couldnât see it.
However, upon seeing Yang Qingyin next to Luo Ziling, Dai Shulan felt a tinge of bitterness.
Chen Xiaoyi also watched the entire competition, feeling the same surge of emotion.
When Luo Zilingâs victory was finally announced, tears of excitement came out.
She also thought of her brother Chen Jiahai and felt glad that Luo Ziling wasnât harmed by Chen Jiahai. She also knew that compared to Luo Ziling, Chen Jiahai was indeed scum. Understanding this brought a slight relief to her heart.
Ouyang Huihui felt a similar emotion. After watching the complete competition process and knowing Luo Ziling had won, she jumped happily. As she jumped, she accidentally knocked over a box of snacks, spilling them, and hurriedly picked them up.
Having picked up only a little, she immediately grabbed her phone and, without hesitation, booked a ticket to Seoul.
Flying from Paris to Seoul takes about ten hours; by tomorrowâs nightfall in Seoul, she could see him.
Thinking of this, Ouyang Huihui felt very excited.
She still didnât want to sleep and comforted herself that she could sleep on the plane tomorrow, but she must watch the entire program today.
Luo Ziling was naturally unaware of the emotional excitement these other women felt because of him, and Ouyang Huihui even planned to secretly visit him.
Upon returning to his seat, and celebrating with Ling Ruonan, Luo Yuqing, and Yang Qingyin while accepting congratulations from others, the excitement in his heart grew even more.
âItâs great to feel like a hero.â Seeing the excited faces around him, Luo Ziling couldnât help but appreciate.
He dared not imagine what it would be like if he had lost today. Thinking of this, he naturally glanced in the direction where Xu Chongzhi was sitting, but found Elder Xu had already left, and Xu Qinglang and Xu Zhiyuan were gone too.
âTo the victor go the spoils, victory and defeat really are different,â he thought again with emotion.
