Falling for the Contract Bride

Chapter 243 The Most Miserable First Love

Mu Zhi sat stiffly in the livestream room. It was her first time livestreaming, and she was stuttering to gather a few words.

She was not nervous since she made all necessary preparations beforehand.

However, every time she caught a glimpse of the number of viewers on the upper right corner of her screen, she would feel an indescribable tension.

She would also get an alert for any new viewer tuning into the stream, which would distract her.

Thus, she chose to cover the corner with a piece of cloth and carry on with the livestreaming.

Without paying attention to the audience size she had, she was able to speak naturally.

The technical team gave her a new phone to yield a better streaming resolution.

Mu Zhi sat before the camera in a moment of awkward silence, then said, “I have plans to do livestreaming consistently from now on. We are just testing the waters today, but if we fail today, I may not appear again in the future.”

Mu Zhi could not help but cringe.

Then, she collected herself and said, “Since we don’t know what to say, let me talk about my past.”

“I was brought up in a single-parent family, in a shabby apartment. I had no idea who my birth father was as a little girl. From what I can recall, I never heard anything about my father. I grew up with mom, and mom never married another person.”

“My first love was Lu Junnian. Lu Junnian is a prodigy in medicine. After mom was admitted to the hospital, I swore to become the best doctor in the world so I could treat her. But unfortunately, being a prodigy is kind of far-fetched for someone like me. I was just a daughter who was eager to work towards a cure for my mother.”

“I worked part-time to sustain mom’s treatment bills while studying, and in my darkest days, I met Lu Junnian.”

“I was a gullible teenager.”

Mu Zhi went through her social media history and found a photo of her and Lu Junnian in an unlisted album.

Some of them were selfies while she took the others without Lu Junnian noticing.
