A week passed in a flash, and Song Xuanhe drove to Baishan early in the morning.

Zhou Nan's family built a hot spring villa on the top of another slightly lower mountain next to Baishan Mountain, and there is a cable car directly connecting it to Baishan Mountain, so Song Xuanhe went to the room prepared for him, handed the car keys to the housekeeper, changed his clothes, and went directly to the cable car to meet them.

"Brother Xuanhe!" Xiao Ranyun was lying at the window of the teahouse on the cliff, smiling brightly. She looked much happier than before. She was wearing a baggy purple ski suit and waving her hands, her ponytail swinging back and forth: "Over here, over here! Brother Xuanhe, we are over here!"

Song Xuanhe raised his hand and waved to her. Under the guidance of the villa staff, they bypassed the mountain road that the shuttle bus could not drive on due to heavy snow. It took them more than ten minutes to reach the arch cliff which was only more than 20 meters high, which was the tea pavilion next to the cable car.

"Brother Xuanhe, we've been waiting for you!" Xiao Ranyun ran up to Song Xuanhe with a smile, grabbed his arm, and dragged him to the cable car: "The last time I went skiing was a month ago. Now I can't wait to go and play. Hurry up!"

Song Xuanhe thought with a smile, it seems that Xiao Ranyun was really happy that she didn't have to attend Xiao Bacong's coming-of-age party. Although she was lively and generous before, she had never been so cheerful.

"Miss, can you not be so excited?" Zhou Nan was sitting there playing poker. When he saw them come in, he put down the cards and said lazily, "We are exhausted so early in the morning. Don't let us drag you along when we go skiing later."

"Then I'll go sledding." Xiao Ranyun shook his head, took out his gloves and put them on, urging, "Hurry up!"

Zhou Nan sighed, his tone somewhat helpless, looked at the staff waiting nearby, and said, "Everyone is here."

The staff opened the cable car door and watched them go in one by one before carefully closing the door and raising his hand to signal the people in the control room to operate the cable car.

Song Xuanhe got up early and drove for a long time. After entering the cable car, he closed his eyes to rest. Xiao Ranyun lowered her voice and whispered to Xiao Shenglin. Her happiness and excitement could be heard from her tone. Zhou Nan took a sip of wine and said with a smile, "Are you so happy that you don't have to attend Xiao Bocong's birthday party?"

"Of course I'm happy!" Xiao Ranyun turned his head and said, "You don't know, after going to the Xiao family residence, I will be depressed for a month before I can recover."

Xiao Shenglin corrected him: "Ran Ran, that's not how depression is used."

Hearing this, Xiao Ranyun waved his hand nonchalantly and said, "I'll be upset and depressed for a month after going there. My assistant said that I need to adjust my situation. Besides, there are enough rules in our family. There are even more rules in this family. There is no need to do anything. Just staying there is depressing enough. I don't want to go."

Xiao Shenglin glanced at her and thought that they were on the cable car and there was no such thing as walls having ears, so he didn't say much.

Without hearing Xiao Shenglin's answer, Xiao Ranyun's eyes curved and he said, "Brother, you also hate our family, right? Although you have only been there once, I remember that you had a fever after returning from that visit. I heard that it took more than half a month to recover. It's obvious that it's caused by physiological hatred!"

"Xiao Ranyun!"

Xiao Shenglin's suddenly raised voice startled Xiao Ranyun. Even Song Xuanhe, who was resting with his eyes closed, and Zhou Nan, who was playing games, were stunned. They both looked up and saw Xiao Ranyun's eyes turned red instantly.

"I'm sorry." Xiao Shenglin was also stunned for a moment by his sudden uncontrollable emotions. Seeing Xiao Ranyun's red eyes, he immediately apologized, "Brother shouldn't be so mean to you. I'm sorry."

Xiao Ranyun shook his head, pursed his lips as if thinking of something, lowered his eyes and said nothing more.

The atmosphere fell silent for a moment. Although this cable car was a means of transportation, its most important added value was to enjoy the scenery, so its speed was extremely slow. The distance between the two mountains was not short, and at this time the cable car had only traveled less than a quarter of the way. If it continued to be silent like this, it would probably take at least another twenty minutes.

But in this situation, no one in the cable car knew what to say.

Song Xuanhe simply didn't know how to coax a girl, and although he had a good relationship with Xiao Shenglin, it was not appropriate for him to speak before he knew why he was angry.

Xiao Shenglin was out of guilt. He had spoiled Xiao Ranyun like his own sister since they were young. Normally, he would never say a harsh word to her except in special circumstances. At most, he would just give her a few reminders. Her sudden outburst of emotions scared her, and he didn't know how to coax her. Moreover, Xiao Ranyun's words reminded him of memories from too long ago that he didn't want to recall at all. For a while, his emotions needed some time to calm down.

So the task of easing the atmosphere fell on Zhou Nan. Like Song Xuanhe, he didn't understand his friend's sudden emotion, but as a friend for many years, he knew what kind of person Xiao Shenglin was and trusted him very much. So even if he didn't know, he would never take the initiative to ask about things that his friend obviously didn't want to talk about.

But what happened just now really frightened him, and his brain seemed to be stuck. For a moment, he couldn't find a topic to startle the other three people.

The atmosphere was silent. Xiao Ranyun lay on the cable car with his eyes slightly lowered, looking at the scenery. His eyelashes trembled slightly, seeming a little uneasy.

Song Xuanhe looked away and winked at Zhou Nan. Zhou Nan got his meaning and shrugged helplessly. Halfway through his shrug, he seemed to suddenly remember something. He winked at Song Xuanhe, coughed and said, "Didn't you say you would come over to accompany Lin Zi and me on the first day of the new year? Why did you come only today?"

Xiao Ranyun moved and tilted his ears towards this side.

Song Xuanhe instantly knew that Zhou Nan was going to use his story to ease the atmosphere. He lifted his long legs and kicked Zhou Nan's outstretched foot carelessly, then crossed his legs and said calmly, "You're under house arrest."

"You're such a grown-up, yet you're still under house arrest? And on the first day of the Lunar New Year, why?" Zhou Nan had a look of surprise and gloating, his eyes full of enthusiasm for gossip. Obviously, even if Xiao Ranyun's incident had not happened, he would definitely bring it up to make fun of it.

"Are you happy that I'm grounded?"

"Of course." Zhou Nan stuffed a glass of champagne into Song Xuanhe's hand, then picked up his own champagne glass and clinked it with his, saying, "Brother, how about using your pain to entertain the public and benefit mankind?"

Song Xuanhe sneered at his amusement and said, "I beat Song Jiabao so hard that he was sent to the hospital. Grandpa put me in solitary confinement for a week."

Zhou Nan was really surprised this time. He opened his eyes slightly, put the champagne in his hand on the table, and put on the standard posture of listening to gossip. He leaned forward and pricked up his ears and said, "I heard before that Song Jiabao was in the hospital, but the outside rumor was that he fell from the upstairs when he got up at night, and broke his newly healed arm again. I didn't believe it at the time. If it's not Song Er, how did that idiot Song Jiabao offend you?"

Under Zhou Nan's eyes full of curiosity, and Xiao Ranyun who had unconsciously turned around with a curious expression, Song Xuanhe closed his eyes and said, "Guess."

"How can I guess!" It is the most uncomfortable to hear gossip halfway. Zhou Nan just felt that he was itching to know. He stretched his head closer to Song Xuanhe and said, "How can you tell halfway? Song Jiabao provoked you many times before, and he also provoked Xiao Yuanmu, but I didn't see you really angry. What did he do?"

Seeing Song Xuanhe's eyelashes tremble, Zhou Nan shrank back, looking surprised: "No way, you are doing this for Xiao Yuanmu? Didn't you break up?"

Song Xuanhe opened his eyes: "Who said I did this for Xiao Yuanmu?"

Xiao Ranyun blinked and said in a clear voice: "Brother Xuanhe, when Brother Zhou Nan mentioned Brother Yuanmu just now, your eyelashes trembled."

"Yes, Ranran noticed it. Do you know the micro-expressions?" Zhou Nan observed Song Xuanhe's expression and tactfully said nothing more. Instead, he talked about his vacation plans for the next few days.

Song Xuanhe curled her lips slightly and listened to him talking about his vacation plan with a faint smile. Xiao Ranyun also interjected from time to time, and the atmosphere soon became lively again.

The cable car moved forward slowly, and before they knew it, it had gone two-thirds of the way. Zhou Nan's plan was not yet complete, because Xiao Ranyun refused a series of SPA afternoon tea and hot spring activities that Zhou Nan had arranged for her, and insisted on moving with them, even going with them on the mountain hike.

"It's dangerous for us men to play with those things. Why do you, a girl, insist on following us?" Zhou Nan said puzzledly, "It's so cold on the snowy mountain. You came out in the morning and were shivering. If you climb with us, you will have to stay on the mountain for a night. How can you bear it?"

"I can do it." Xiao Ranyun said, "I was a member of the school's mountaineering club when I was in high school. Although I have never climbed Mount Ma, snowy mountains of this level are easy for me. And I am afraid of the cold because I suddenly flew here from the tropics. I will adapt to it by the time we go mountaineering!"

Hearing this, Xiao Shenglin said in a gentle voice: "Ran Ran High School is indeed a mountaineering team. Their school's mountaineering team is quite famous and has participated in many international activities. It won't be dangerous for her to follow us."

"What about rock climbing..."

"Brother Zhou Nan!" Xiao Ranyun puffed up his cheeks and said seriously, "Although I am a girl, I admit that my physical strength is not as good as yours, but my perseverance will never lose to anyone. Since it is my decision, I must have fully considered my own situation before making the decision. If you continue to persuade me, I will seriously doubt whether you have prejudice against women."

Zhou Nan was taken aback by her serious tone, then shook his head and said, "I arranged it for you just because I saw that many girls don't like those activities. It's definitely not because I have any prejudice against you or women. If you really want to join us, I absolutely welcome you."

Xiao Ranyun turned to look at Song Xuanhe, who nodded: "Follow me if you want."

After getting everyone's recognition, Xiao Ranyun started to laugh. After laughing for a while, he suddenly felt a little depressed and said, "It would be great if Dad could come with us."

Xiao Shenglin rubbed her hair without saying anything. Song Xuanhe and Zhou Nan also knew about Xiao Nan's situation and did not say anything at this time.

Xiao Ranyun muttered, "But it's better this way. This year, our family might be in chaos..."

Song Xuanhe's eyelashes trembled, and she turned to look at Xiao Ranyun, but she didn't say anything else and looked at the scenery with interest again.

…

The four of them skied on the mountain for an hour and were about to go to the restaurant for lunch. When they passed a track, they stopped in their tracks by a scream. The other guests also looked towards the source of the scream. Song Xuanhe and Xiao Shenglin looked at each other and walked uphill following the sound.

After climbing a steep slope, they saw a man with his eyes closed lying beside a tree. Beside him lay a middle-aged woman, shouting for help in panic. The voice just now came from her.

Seeing them coming, the lady hurriedly asked, "Is there a doctor among you? My husband has asthma and just fainted. Can you save him?"

Song Xuanhe looked around and asked, "Where's the coach?"

"The coach has called a doctor!" The lady hugged the man to prevent him from catching a cold, and her tone became much calmer: "If possible, could you please help me go to the broadcasting station in front to find out if there is a doctor among the tourists present? It may take a long time for the coach to find a doctor at the emergency department."

Song Xuanhe and Xiao Shenglin looked at each other when they heard this. Even Zhou Nan and Xiao Ranyun who came up later were puzzled. This was considered a high-end ski resort, and most of the guests were either rich or noble. There were coaches guarding every area to prevent accidents, and there were sufficient medical teams. Logically speaking, even if the doctor had not arrived at this time, it should not take a long time to wait as this lady said.

Moreover, normal people would be more inclined to rely on the medical team of the ski resort. How could they place their hopes on strangers who come to ski?

Although they were confused, they didn't say much in the face of life and death. Zhou Nan frowned and thought for a few seconds, then said, "I seemed to see a familiar person just now. He is the doctor. If I'm not mistaken, he will be back soon."

Zhou Nan quickly slid away, Song Xuanhe and Xiao Shenglin stepped forward to help, Xiao Ranyun also whispered to comfort the lady who had a calm expression but was trembling all over. Other guests arrived one after another, and when they saw this scene, they all expressed their willingness to help. Some people also murmured why the doctor at the ski resort was so slow to arrive.

After five or six minutes, the doctor from the ski resort had not arrived yet. The coach who came to check on the doctor made a phone call, but only got a reply that the doctor was on the way. The middle-aged lady who was holding Xiao Ranyun looked paler and paler. Song Xuanhe also frowned. Although the unconscious person was wearing warm clothes, he had been lying motionless and was unable to resist the cold wind on the snowy mountain.

"Here he comes! The doctor is here!"

Zhou Nan slid over quickly, followed by a man wearing goggles. Everyone's eyes turned to Zhou Nan. The man next to him took off his goggles, walked directly to the unconscious man, and squatted down to examine him.

Song Xuanhe raised his eyebrows when he saw the handsome face of the visitor. Zhou Nan followed behind him and said, "Yu Yan, can you cure it?"

Yu Yan avoided Zhou Nan and said calmly, "The patient has asthma. Please move aside and don't gather here. Hello, do you have the common asthma medicine for this gentleman?"

The lady breathed a sigh of relief when she saw Yu Yan's professional inspection. After hearing his question, she gritted her teeth and shook her head, "No."

Yu Yan frowned and asked, "Your husband doesn't have any either?"

The lady pursed her lips tightly, "Neither do I."

Song Xuanhe paused in his backward movement, and Zhou Nan whispered, "You don't even carry medicine for asthma with you, you're really lucky."

Xiao Shenglin stopped him with his eyes, Xiao Ranyun winked at Zhou Nan, and the crowd was waiting for Yu Yan's conclusion of the examination.

However, as Yu Yan made his conclusion, the coach arrived late with a medical team. The medical team was large in number and brought a stretcher. They came over and expressed their gratitude to Yu Yan for his enthusiastic help, and then offered to take the guest to the infirmary.

The lady grabbed the end of the stretcher, her face pale but calm: "This doctor is a friend of my husband's attending physician. He knows my husband's condition very well. I asked him to participate in the treatment."

The medical team was stunned for a moment, and the middle-aged woman looked at Yu Yan with pleading in her eyes.

Yu Yan frowned slightly. Song Xuan and a few others happened to see the lady's expression from their direction, and they couldn't help but exchange glances when they saw this.

"Madam, your husband's life safety is the most important thing at this time. Please trust us. We are the most professional medical team and will do our best to treat your husband. This doctor may indeed be a friend of your husband's attending physician, but he is not the attending physician after all. Our team works well together. Adding one more person will easily disrupt the rhythm. I hope you will put the patient's life first."

As soon as the medical team spoke, everyone around looked at the lady, but she insisted: "My husband's condition is special, not an ordinary trauma accident. I feel more at ease with someone who understands his condition by his side. I hope you can understand that as a wife, I am very cautious about my husband's life safety."

One refers to life, the other refers to life safety. With two more words, the meanings are completely different.

At this moment, not only Song Xuan and a few others noticed something was wrong, but even some late guests noticed that this matter seemed unusual.

"How about this," Zhou Nan said. "My family also has some shares in the ski resort. Logically, I can intervene in what happens here. The safety of the guests is very important, and so are their needs and concerns. It doesn't matter if you are a team and are not used to outsiders getting involved. Yu Yan can just stay with you. After all, he is a doctor in the respiratory department, and he specializes in his field. I feel more at ease with him following me."

The shareholders had already spoken, so the medical team would naturally not disagree. Several people carried the stretcher, and Yu Yan followed behind them and got on the shuttle bus. Only the coach who brought the medical team changed his expression.

Zhou Nan rubbed his hair in annoyance when he saw these people going away. He said with a click of the tongue, "What is going on? Let's go. Never mind. Let's go eat."

Song Xuan and a few others did not discuss this topic. Although they had all noticed that something was wrong, some things could not be solved just because someone noticed something was wrong. Regardless of whether there was evidence or a sense of justice, just looking at the lady's obvious attempt to conceal something, it was clear that this matter was not suitable for outsiders to interfere.

Baishan's specialties were already prepared in Zhou Nan's private room. Song Xuanhe wiped his hands and handed the towel to the waiter. He paused for a moment before taking his hand back and asked Zhou Nan, "You just said Yu Yan is a respiratory physician?"

"Do you know him?" Zhou Nan raised his eyebrows in surprise.

"Not really acquaintance." Song Xuanhe thought of the first time he met Yu Yan, the corner of his mouth twitched, and said: "I was injured before, and the doctor who treated me was him. I always thought he was a surgeon."

"Sometimes he goes to the surgery department to help out. No, I should say he covers for his friend." Zhou Nan curled his lips and said, "He is a very good doctor and he is very versatile. Don't worry."

"I believe he is very versatile." Song Xuanhe looked at the smooth wood grain of the chopsticks in his hand and said calmly, "Last time I injured Song Jiabao, he even took over for our family doctor."

"On the first day of the Lunar New Year?" Zhou Nan opened his eyes slightly and asked in surprise.

Song Xuanhe nodded. Zhou Nan seemed to have thought of something. He suddenly laughed and said, "No wonder he said he had something to do that day. It turned out that he went to deal with your family's affairs."

Hearing Zhou Nan's ambiguous tone, Song Xuanhe realized something and asked, "Are you familiar with him?"

"I think so." Zhou Nan said casually, "First love, do you think we are familiar with each other?"

Song Xuanhe paused, and asked with a subtle expression: "Have you two broken up and gotten back together a few times? Maybe you went to the same high school?"

Zhou Nan was surprised: "How did you know?"

The expression on Song Xuanhe's face became more subtle. He had just had a hint of doubt, but now he finally confirmed Yu Yan's identity - one of Xiao Yuanmu's seven suitors and the future family doctor of the Xiao family.

When Song Xuanhe saw this name in the hospital before, he doubted it for a moment, but it was only a moment. After all, there were so many people with the same name in the world, and it was impossible for him to run into another future suitor of Xiao Yuanmu.

What's more, Yu Yan appears in the later part of the plot, and the location is not in China but in the United States.

Moreover, apart from knowing that he was Xiao Yuanmu's family doctor, the only thing Song Xuanhe could be sure of was that he had worked in a large hospital in China and then left his hometown for some reason. One of the speculations about the reason why he left his hometown was that he had an ex-boyfriend who broke up and got back together several times and finally made him give up and leave his hometown.

The reason for this speculation is that in the later part of the plot, Xiao Yuanmu was injured because of the frame-up of a rival company. At that time, Xiao Yuanmu suspected that Xiao's family was also involved in this matter, and his mood was very gloomy. At that time, Yu Yan talked about his relationship with his ex-boyfriend to comfort Xiao Yuanmu, and implicitly expressed - I have such a heartless ex-boyfriend but I still believe that there is truth, goodness and beauty in the world. Don't doubt everyone in this world because of this little thing.

At that time, Song Xuanhe was not sure whether this passage was true or not because the author did not describe it in detail, so the text seemed a bit dry when read alone. When it was said by the usually taciturn Yu Yan, it seemed like a consolation made up for nothing.

——After all, the protagonist of the book, Xiao Yuanmu, didn’t believe it either.

Song Xuanhe never expected that the Doctor Yu whom he had met a long time ago was actually Yu Yan, one of Xiao Yuanmu's seven suitors. Moreover, what Yu Yan said was actually true. Moreover, the heartless ex-boyfriend who broke his heart was actually Zhou Nan.

The author has something to say: Zhou Nan: Fate is wonderful beyond words.
