Arc 1: Part 57
This discovery delighted Tong Su beyond measure. Just as she was about to tease Xi Chen Zhao a little, he suddenly placed the phone back in her hands and turned to leave.
"Sleep early."
"Pfft, hahaha..."
Tong Su couldn't contain her joy. Xi Chen Zhao was actually feeling shy! How rare it was for him to have words he was too embarrassed to say!
Her laughter echoed through the room, and Xi Chen Zhao's steps sped up even more, almost fleeing from the room. However, just as he reached the doorway, his footsteps paused for a moment.
A soft, yet clear sentence fell in the air and reached Tong Su's ears.
"You are the best."
Tong Su's laughter subsided.
You are the best.
"This guy really doesn't know how to speak romantic words!"
She mumbled under her breath, but the smile on her face only grew more joyful and intense. Although she had her phone back, she didn't bother to open it and read the netizens' comments. Instead, she placed it on the bedside table.
With his compliment, there was no need to check the netizens' comments anymore.
One sentence from him was worth a million from them.
She was already content.
Tong Su snuggled into the soft bedding, her eyes crinkling with laughter before she fell into a deep sleep.
The next morning, Tong Su was awakened by a frantic ringing.
She answered the phone groggily. It was her assistant with a rushed tone. Tong Su was still half-asleep, but a few words from her assistant instantly cleared her drowsiness, causing her to jump out of bed.
"Miss, the voting results are out! The result is...you have—"
Tong Su quickly opened Weibo and immediately saw the hot search about her PK contest with Lan Shuer in the top trends.
Clicking on it, she found:
Xi Tong Su: 108918 votes
Lan Shuer: 120012 votes
"The result is...you lost."
120012.
108918.
"A difference of 11,000 votes?" Tong Su was taken aback. "I got 11,000 votes less than Lan Shuer?"
She had just woken up, and her brain hadn't quite registered the news yet. Upon scrolling down, as expected, the comments section was a mess. Early in the morning, netizens were already hurling insults.
"What the hell, how are Lan Shuer's scores so high?"
"Lan Shuer's terrible acting won? Is there a bug in the voting system?"
"There must be some shady dealings!"
"I asked my friends and family, and they all voted for Xi Tong Su. If we go by proportions, the number of fans voting for both should be the same. At least, I didn't find anyone who voted for Lan Shuer."
"@Administrator, @Weibo programmer, @Weibo report department, aren't you guys supervising this? What's going on?"
"Hahaha, seeing these haters jumping up and down makes me happy! My Lan Shuer is indeed the best! Weren't you guys still saying yesterday how good Xi Tong Su's acting is? Now that the voting results are out, isn't this a slap in your face?"
"I voted for Lan Shuer. Lan Shuer's acting is good."
"Damn, is it a bot farm?"
Tong Su frowned.
Her first reaction was also a bot farm. However, yesterday's live broadcast clearly showed Lan Shuer and Ji Yu repeatedly making mistakes.
Even people who don't understand acting could tell at a glance who the better actor was, let alone with so many big Vs taking sides. Shouldn't the winner and loser have been obvious?
If Ji Yu and Lan Shuer were buying bot votes, wouldn't that be rubbing netizens' intelligence in the dirt?
Or could it be that someone was setting a trap and framing them?
As Tong Su tried to make sense of the situation, she didn't realize that Ji Yu's room was also experiencing a storm.
Ji Yu browsed Weibo messily, his eyes bloodshot with anger. Suddenly, he raised his hand and fiercely threw the phone to the ground!
"Who bought the bot votes?! Lan Shuer's acting is so bad, yet someone dared to brush votes for her to win. Are they afraid that we won't become a laughingstock? Whoever did it, step forward!"
