Chapter 64: Chapter 64: Being Good-Looking Is a Disease?

[You can’t trust people’s motives! I think she’s just trying to ride the hype! Zizi definitely brought her a lot of traffic and she’s made some money, but greed knows no bounds!]

[I agree with the person above. I really don’t get why you have to use your kid. Let me ask you, the money your child earned—did you save it for her, or did you spend it yourself?]

[Zizi is only seven! A seven-year-old is so innocent and pure. I really don’t understand why these parents want to corrupt her.]

[Tsk! All this talk, you’re all just jealous, right? If you had a daughter this beautiful, you’d probably show her off too, right? After all, the money you can make here is no less than a regular job, and sponsors send you free stuff every other day!]

[Doctor Wen hasn’t even said anything, what’s the rush? Zizi’s mother hasn’t said anything either, has she?]

[Freedom of speech, but before we know for sure, can we please not hurt people?]

Zizi’s mother watched the bullet comments scroll by, one by one. She read all of them, a mix of emotions swirling inside her.

"Patient ’Zizi Is Very Happy,’ you are doing the right thing. You don’t need to doubt yourself because of what others are saying. Between life and reputation, life is the most important. Zizi is your daughter, and she can feel everything you’re doing for her."

Hearing Wen Ying’s words, Zizi’s mother finally spoke, her voice tinged with worry, "Really, Doctor Wen? You’re a good doctor, speaking up for me even when you know I’m trying to gain more exposure. Zizi is my life. I’m sure of that, and it will never change."

[See? I knew it! It’s all about getting more famous! We help her once, and she’ll just ask us to find more people to help her again!]

[Her scheming is so loud I can hear it from across the ocean!]

[What’s with Doctor Wen? Shouldn’t she be exposing her right now? Could there really be a hidden story?]

[I choose to trust Doctor Wen. Doctor Wen will give us the answer.]

"Everyone has misunderstood the user ’Zizi Is Very Happy.’ She does want to get more famous, and she does want to earn more money! But all of it is for Zizi, for her daughter. She hasn’t kept any of these benefits for herself."

[For Zizi? Zizi is so well-behaved and adorable, and so many people like her. What could Zizi possibly need? To be famous? That seems unlikely!]

[Don’t tell me she wants Zizi to be a child star? I really don’t get what Doctor Wen is doing here~!]

[Plot twists are a standard feature of Doctor Wen’s live streams. What’s the rush, everyone?] 𝗳𝚛𝗲𝕖𝚠𝚎𝚋𝗻𝗼𝕧𝗲𝐥.𝚌𝚘𝐦

"Zizi is adorable, beautiful, and well-behaved, as exquisite as a porcelain doll. I adored her from the moment I first saw her, but more than that, my heart aches for her. I hope she can recover soon."

[Recover??? Are you kidding? What does Zizi need to recover from? I see Zizi’s videos on my feed almost every day. Zizi is perfectly healthy.]

[Is Zizi sick? But she doesn’t look like it. Doctor Wen, please be clearer! Zizi’s mother, you should hurry and get Zizi a check-up!]

Seeing the comments, Zizi’s mother’s expression turned bitter.

’A check-up?’

She had taken her daughter for check-ups long ago. That was precisely why she had chosen to become a streamer.

She endured the infamy, determined to keep streaming and recording videos with her child.

"My friend, I suggest you tell everyone about Zizi’s situation. Most people will understand and support you. You won’t have to endure this public condemnation anymore, and it could also solve your pressing problem."

When Wen Ying said this, the viewers in the live stream grew even more anxious.

What on earth is wrong with Zizi?

[Zizi’s mother, say something! What’s wrong with Zizi?]

[I have a bad feeling about this. I’m afraid it’s an illness that’s hard to treat?]

[Doctor Wen is a doctor, Zizi’s mother, have you forgotten? Doctor Wen isn’t just any ordinary psychologist!]

Zizi’s mother gave a bitter smile that looked worse than crying. "Doctor Wen, I just... I didn’t want people to look at Zizi differently. But I understand now. Still, I think it would be better if you were the one to tell them."

[Well, I’ll be! Is she testing Doctor Wen?]

[Not knowing the situation, I would’ve thought this was scripted! The acting is so good.]

"Zizi’s condition is indeed an illness. It’s a very rare disease that most people have never seen before, so when they do see it, they don’t realize it’s an illness. This condition is called Kabuki syndrome. It’s a rare chromosomal disorder. Because the children’s faces resemble the traditional Kabuki makeup of the Neon Country, it was named Kabuki-makeup syndrome. Simply put, it is accompanied by developmental delays, intellectual disabilities, and low immunity."

"Zizi’s mother wants to earn more money so she can continue to pay for Zizi’s treatment. Even if Zizi regresses and becomes more childlike, she and her husband will never give up on her."

"There are now over 800,000 viewers in the stream. I hope that those of you who are able can help Zizi’s mother by giving her a follow."

When they heard Wen Ying explain Zizi’s condition, most of the viewers in the live stream were completely shocked.

A disease like this actually exists in the world?

They had misunderstood Zizi’s mother. In such a desperate situation, she was already doing an amazing job.

The moment they heard Wen Ying ask for follows, Zizi’s mother’s account, which originally had only about 200,000 followers, instantly gained 500,000 more.

Over 700,000 followers!

Zizi’s mother lowered her head and began to cry.

She had achieved her goal, but she was still heartbroken.

[You can do it, Zizi’s mother! You can do it, Zizi! We’ll keep following you both! We hope Zizi can make a full recovery!]

[Zizi’s mother, you’re doing an amazing job! To not give up on Zizi in a situation like this! You’re giving it your all for her, and I will always support you!]

[Learned something new today, I just hope I never have to use this knowledge! May all the children in the world be healthy!]

[I used to be so envious of how beautiful Zizi is, and I even resented myself for not being as pretty! I never thought it was actually... I’m so sorry, Zizi!]

[I never would have thought that being beautiful could be a symptom of a disease! The heavens are so unfair!]

"Doctor Wen, thank you! You’re our family’s savior!"

[Why doesn’t anyone think Doctor Wen can cure Zizi’s illness?]

[Wake up, person above! This is the real world, not a novel!]

[Can you not try to get Doctor Wen hate?]

"Because of this illness, Zizi has never been able to go to school. We tried sending her to kindergarten, to elementary school, but she’s completely unable to listen to the teacher or even look at the teacher, let alone a textbook. She no longer communicates with others and can’t even focus her attention."

[I have to ask, it’s not that the school discriminated against Zizi and refused to enroll her, is it?]

[What kind of school would do something so scummy! Name them and we’ll report them together!]

"Please, don’t misunderstand. The schools have been very good to us. They didn’t refuse to enroll Zizi. In fact, some schools were even willing to help her. We’re very grateful that they didn’t mind Zizi’s condition, but after trying a few times, it became clear that Zizi’s situation really makes it impossible for her to attend school. She needs someone watching over her and keeping her company at all times."

[Please, Doctor Wen... is Zizi’s illness really incurable?]

"It can, but—"
