Qiguan Yuan didn't say anything.
It was unclear whether he had seen it or not. Sensing Pei Yubai's gaze, Qiguan Yuan asked, "Why are you looking at me?"
Pei Yubai's brain didn't quite catch on, and he blurted out instinctively, " Yuanyuan is pretty."
Qiguan Yuan's eyes crinkled with delight. "What's so beautiful about it?"
Pei Yubai's mind flashed back to Qiguan Yuan's ears and tail from this morning, the fox Yuanyuan...
He said, "It's beautiful everywhere."
Qiguan Yuan nodded. "Oh~ They say beauty is in the eye of the beholder, Pei Yubai, is that true for you?"
Pei Yubai looked into Qiguan Yuan's beautiful eyes. " Yuanyuan is the most beautiful."
Although Qiguan Yuan's fans all dislike Pei Yubai, they have to admit that what he said makes a lot of sense.
[Our Yuanyuan is the most beautiful, no arguments allowed]
[Succubus Yuanyuan, hehehe]
Despair from Pei Yubai's fans:
Pei Yubai! Stop acting so worthless!
[ Pei Yubai, you've made me lose face! You're the Crown Prince! Show your usual arrogance and haughtiness! I'm truly exhausted!]
[Stop struggling. I used to be a fan of Pei Yubai, but now I'm a Yuanyuan's mom. Now I just can't stand Pei Yubai.]
Qiguan Yuan, who was leaning against a tree, sat up slightly upon hearing Pei Yubai's words, moved closer to Pei Yubai, and his breath was exhaled into Pei Yubai's nostrils.
Their breaths mingled.
"So that means I'm your lover, right, Pei Yubai?"
Pei Yubai had already made great progress in his intentional and unintentional flirting with Qiguan Yuan.
At least with Qiguan Yuan's not-too-overly-excessive flirting, he could no longer help but blush.
But when Qiguan Yuan's "lover" appeared, Pei Yubai's breathing became heavy.
What does "Yuanyuan" mean?
But before Pei Yubai could ask anything, Qiguan Yuan had already retreated and leaned back against the tree trunk. "Is there anything else? I'm sleepy, Pei Yubai."
Pei Yubai roughly estimated the arrival time of the medical team that President Pei mentioned would arrive by helicopter.
Her gaze remained fixed on Qiguan Yuan, carefully observing his movements to see if he was supporting his lower back.
Check if he has back pain.
Qiguan Yuan tilted his head to one side, already feeling drowsy, but it was clear that he didn't have back pain right now.
Pei Yubai sat beside him, watching him, his hands resting on his knees, his fingers slightly clenching and then relaxing.
Pei Yubai did not go back to practice the lusheng (a traditional reed pipe instrument), but sat next to Qiguan Yuan and waited.
After a while, he took out his phone and checked the time.
The sound of a helicopter came from a distance. It wasn't very loud, just muffled.
The sound grew closer and louder, transforming from a muffled drumbeat into a roar.
The people in the open space stopped playing the lusheng (a traditional reed pipe instrument), the children looked up at the sky, Shen Yuzhou also looked up, and Cheng Yanqiu covered his brow bone with his hand and looked into the distance.
Qiguan Yuan also opened his eyes and looked over.
Huh? What's that?
A helicopter flew out from behind the mountain, its white fuselage bearing several blue characters. The font was simple, but it was too far away to read what it said.
The comments section exploded instantly.
[What's that? A helicopter?]
[Who arrived by helicopter?]
[White with writing on it, but it's illegible]
[Could it be the production team? This production team is so rich!?]
[Impossible. If the production team had money, they wouldn't have made the guests stay in such a dilapidated stilted house.]
[Wait, this helicopter is flying towards Village Above the Clouds.]
[Could we be landing here??]
Where can I park a helicopter in Village Above the Clouds?
The helicopter circled over the village, the wind whipped up by its rotors making the branches of the old locust tree sway wildly.
It flew eastward towards the village, where there was an open space where the Miao people usually dried their grain.
The helicopter descended slowly, its rotors still spinning, the roar gradually subsiding into a low hum.
The hatch opened, and several people came out. Some were wearing white coats, some were wearing black uniforms, and some were carrying suitcases and wearing casual clothes.
The leader was a middle-aged man in a white coat, with gray hair and silver-rimmed glasses. He walked slowly but steadily, each step firmly planted on his feet.
Two people followed behind him, a man and a woman, both quite young, wearing white coats. The woman was carrying a silver medical kit, and the man was holding a stack of documents.
[White coat??? Doctor???]
[Who is injured? Who is sick? Why is there a doctor?]
[Oh my god, could something have happened to the guest?]
[But aren't all the guests perfectly fine? They're all happily dancing the Lusheng.]
[So what are these doctors here for?]
[Wait, that person in the white coat, I think I recognize him. That person looks like Professor Zhou.]
[ Professor Zhou? Which Professor Zhou?]
[ Zhou Wenyuan. One of the best orthopedic surgeons in China, specializing in the spine and lumbar spine. Ordinary people have to wait more than six months to get an appointment with him.]
[Orthopedics? Lower back? Who has lower back problems?]
[I don't know, but someone who can get Zhou Wenyuan to personally make a house call isn't someone you can just hire with money.]
[You mentioned there were words on the helicopter, blue words, but I couldn't make out what they said.]
[I saw it clearly, it says " Huateng ".]
[ Huateng? Huateng Group? Which Huateng? The Huateng of Pei Yubai's family??]
[So Pei Yubai called for the helicopter?]
[No, the key point is that Pei Yubai called in the best orthopedic surgeon in the country. Who is injured?]
[I don't know, I'm guessing it's Qiguan Yuan ]
[My guess]
The comments scrolled by rapidly. Meng Xu stood beside the old locust tree, looking at the helicopter parked on the threshing ground.
He looked unwell, turned to his assistant and said a few words. The assistant nodded and ran off.
The photographer who was following Qiguan Yuan and Pei Yubai was carrying his equipment and was about to walk towards the threshing ground when Meng Xu stopped him.
He waved to the photographer, pointed in the direction of the old locust tree, and told him not to take pictures, because it involved Huateng Group, especially Pei Yubai's father's private arrangements.
None of them will be easy.
It's better to play it safe than not.
The photographer hesitated for a moment, but since the boss had spoken, he had no choice but to carry his equipment back to the old locust tree.
Pei Yubai squatted down in front of Qiguan Yuan, his gaze level with Qiguan Yuan.
" Yuanyuan," Pei Yubai said in a low voice, "The doctor is here. Come back with me and let the doctor take a look at your back, okay?"
Qiguan Yuan raised his eyelids slightly.
His eyes were not fully open, they were half-closed.
"I'm sleepy." Qiguan Yuan's voice was a little hoarse.
Pei Yubai reached out and gently grasped Qiguan Yuan, which was resting on his knee. Qiguan Yuan's hand was cool.
"Go to sleep after you've had your checkup," Pei Yubai said. "It'll be quick, it won't disturb your sleep. Let the doctor take a look, and you can sleep as long as you want afterward."
Qiguan Yuan didn't speak or open his eyes. Pei Yubai just held his hand and didn't let go.
A few seconds later, Qiguan Yuan's finger twitched. He didn't pull it back, but gently scratched Pei Yubai's palm with his fingertip.
"Help me up," Qiguan Yuan said.
Pei Yubai helped him up from the ground. Qiguan Yuan's waist paused for a moment as he stood up, his movements were not very smooth, but he quickly regained his balance, and his expression did not change much.
Pei Yubai and Qiguan Yuan walked back to the stilted house together. At Pei Yubai's request, the photographer did not follow.
When they reached the foot of the stilted house, Qiguan Yuan stopped and looked up at the second-floor window.
A breeze blew from the direction of the terraced fields, lifting a few strands of his silver hair.
Pei Yubai the doctor Pei Zhongkang had invited. " Professor Zhou is one of the best orthopedic experts in the country, specializing in the spine and lumbar vertebrae. He has treated many athletes and national leaders. You usually need to make an appointment well in advance to see him."
Qiguan Yuan nodded.
He didn't understand, but he was too lazy to ask any more questions.
Qiguan Yuan went up the stairs, with Pei Yubai following behind him. The door to the second floor was open, and there was no one in the living room.
Qiguan Yuan walked through the living room, pushed open the bedroom door, went in, and sat down on the edge of the bed.
Footsteps could be heard downstairs.
Zhou Wenyuan walked at the front, his eyes behind his silver-rimmed glasses glancing at Pei Yubai, then at the door behind Pei Yubai.
"Is the patient inside?" Zhou Wenyuan asked. His voice was not loud, and his speech was slow, carrying a calm and authoritative quality.
"He's inside." Pei Yubai stepped aside to let him in, but didn't let him in immediately.
"He just fell asleep, so be careful." Zhou Wenyuan nodded without saying anything, and carried the medical kit inside.
The young female doctor followed behind, while the male doctor walked at the very back.
Qiguan Yuan sat on the edge of the bed, his head slightly lowered, his silver hair hanging down and covering half of his face. He heard footsteps and looked up.
Qiguan Yuan had a pretty good idea of why Pei Yubai was talking to Zhou Wenyuan.
He didn't look at Zhou Wenyuan, but glanced at Pei Yubai Pei Yubai standing behind Zhou Wenyuan and nodded to Qiguan Yuan.
Qiguan Yuan turned his gaze back to Zhou Wenyuan.
Zhou Wenyuan walked up to Qiguan Yuan, but did not act immediately. He first placed the medical kit on the table next to the bed, opened it, took out alcohol wipes to wipe his hands, and did so slowly, wiping each finger. After wiping, he threw the wipes into the trash can.
"How long have you had back pain?" he asked.
Qiguan Yuan thought for a moment, "I can't remember, it's been a long time."
How did you get hurt?
"I bumped into someone," Qiguan Yuan casually made up an excuse.
Zhou Wenyuan did not ask any further questions.
He squatted down, his line of sight level with Qiguan Yuan, and reached out, pressing his fingers a few times on Qiguan Yuan's lower back through his clothes.
When he pressed the third time, Qiguan Yuan's breathing paused slightly, though not very noticeably.
"Does it hurt here?" Zhou Wenyuan asked.
Qiguan Yuan didn't speak, he just nodded.
Zhou Wenyuan straightened up. The female doctor behind him took a portable ultrasound machine out of the medical kit, plugged it in, and the machine emitted a slight buzzing sound.
Zhou Wenyuan made Qiguan Yuan down on the bed, then lifted the hem of his red dress to reveal his lower back.
He has deep dimples, fair skin, and a long, not-so-dark scar on his waist.
Zhou Wenyuan stared at the scar for a few seconds, then pressed the ultrasound probe onto it. Looking at the image displayed on the screen, he frowned slightly, but quickly relaxed his grip.
He moved the probe to a few different positions, paused for a moment, and then put it away.
"The ligament injury has been there for a long time and hasn't fully healed. There's no obvious bone damage, but the surrounding soft tissues have chronic inflammation. A detailed examination is needed to determine the specific situation."
Zhou Wenyuan took off his gloves and looked at Pei Yubai. "The conditions here are not good. I suggest we return to the Capital for further examination. I can prescribe some topical medication to relieve the pain, but it won't cure the problem."
Qiguan Yuan sat up in bed, put down his clothes, and straightened the hem. He glanced at Pei Yubai, Pei Yubai was also looking at him.
"Apply the medicine first. We'll discuss the examination later," Qiguan Yuan said. Pei Yubai nodded.
