Soon, Su Yang, carrying Little Wan on his back, was the first to arrive at the observation deck at the highest point.
Pan Ning had already arrived by then and was chatting with Meng Wenzhou and the others.
Seeing Su Yang walking over with an unfamiliar little girl on his back,
they all wore bewildered expressions simultaneously, especially Liu Bo. His mouth agape, he walked up to Su Yang, pointed at Little Wan, and asked, "Yang... Yang-ge... you... what's this? A secret love child?"
"Secret love child, my foot," Su Yang shot Liu Bo a glare.
He set Little Wan down and asked, "Little Wan, how do you feel now?"
Little Wan shook her head with a smile. "I'm fine. Carried by you, big brother, I don't feel tired at all~"
"That's good." After saying this, he turned to look at Liu Bo. "Where's your oxygen canister?"
"Here it is." Liu Bo pulled out an unused oxygen canister from his bag.
"Requisitioned." Su Yang took the oxygen canister and handed it to Little Wan. "Here, Little Wan. If you feel short of breath later, take some oxygen."
"Okay, thank you, big brother. You're so kind!"
"You're welcome. After your sister comes up, I'll take a couple of photos for you, and then we'll head down, alright?"
"Okay~"
"Then you can look around by yourself for now. Didn't you always want to come up here?"
"Alright." Little Wan happily walked to the guardrail and looked into the distance.
At that moment, Meng Wenzhou, Pan Ning, and the others also walked over.
Seeing their puzzled looks, Su Yang briefly recounted what had happened earlier.
After listening, everyone nodded in understanding.
"So that's what happened. Yang-ge, you have such a kind heart~" Ji Bo gave Su Yang a thumbs-up.
Su Yang gave a wry smile. "Actually, I'm not that good-hearted. It's mainly because this little girl doesn't have much time left."
"Doesn't have much time left?" The group repeated, their eyes wide.
"Mhm, a terminal illness."
"Ah? This little sister? At such a young age?"
"That's why I carried her up."
Just then, Meng Qianyu and the others, along with Li Muhan, walked up onto the observation deck. Seeing this, Su Yang put his index finger to his lips. "Shh, don't mention this anymore. Pretend you don't know."
Everyone nodded in agreement.
As soon as Li Muhan reached the top, she saw Little Wan standing by the guardrail. She quickly walked over, bent down, and asked, "Little Wan, how are you feeling?"
Little Wan shook her head with a smile. "I'm fine, sis."
"That's good, that's good. You've been up here for a bit now, let's go down."
"Okay!" Little Wan nodded obediently.
Su Yang walked over at that moment and said, "Wait. Stand by this stone monument. I'll take a photo for you."
Li Muhan looked at Su Yang with gratitude in her eyes. "Thank you, Yang-ge."
"No need for thanks, it's a small thing. Come over here quickly."
"Okay." Li Muhan agreed, took Little Wan's hand, and led her to stand in front of the stone monument.
"Give me your phone."
Li Muhan pursed her lips and pulled out a somewhat dated, off-brand phone. She unlocked it and handed it to Su Yang.
Su Yang smiled, took the phone, opened the camera app, and took a few steps back. When other tourists moved out of the way, he called out, "Smile!"
Li Muhan hugged Little Wan, and both of them showed genuine smiles.
Su Yang quickly pressed the shutter. Click.
"All done."
"Thank you, Yang-ge."
"Thank you, big brother, for bringing me up and taking a photo for me and my sister." Little Wan looked at Su Yang gratefully and sensibly.
Su Yang patted Little Wan's head. "Don't mention it. Alright, hurry and go down now. The oxygen is thinner up here; it's not suitable for you to stay long."
"Mhm, mhm, okay."
"Muhan, take her to the hospital for a check-up after you get back. She says she's fine, but it's better to be safe than sorry."
Li Muhan looked at Su Yang, her face full of gratitude, and nodded. "Okay, Yang-ge, I'll take her for a check-up."
"That's good. Oh, by the way, give me your WeChat."
"We... okay." Li Muhan hurriedly found her WeChat QR code, and they added each other as friends.
"Alright, be careful on the way down."
"Okay, we're leaving then. Say goodbye to Yang-ge." Li Muhan said to Little Wan.
"Goodbye, big brother."
After saying that, the two also waved goodbye to Meng Qianyu and the others before slowly starting down the steps.
Su Yang watched the two slender figures gradually disappear into the crowd and shook his head slightly.
He had initially thought about transferring tens of thousands of yuan to Li Muhan, but on second thought, he decided against it. After all, they had just met; suddenly sending money would be too abrupt. He could do it later.
"Yang-ge, that girl is quite pretty, huh?" Liu Bo sidled up to Su Yang at that moment, snickering.
"You think everyone is pretty."
"Can't say that. They have to be genuinely pretty."
[Ding! New mission released.]
As the two were talking, the system's voice sounded in Su Yang's mind.
[Cure Chen Xiaowan's cancer within thirty days. Mission reward: Sixty million, five attribute point cards.]
Hearing the system suddenly release this new mission in his mind, Su Yang's eyelids twitched, and he froze for a moment.
After standing still for two seconds, he walked to the side and replied in his mind.
— What? What kind of mission is this? I only have one 'Cure-All Card' left. I need to keep that for people close to me. But without a card, I can't cure her! This is freaking cancer!
[The Divine Physician can cure it.]
— Divine Physician? Who? Where?
— Wait, you're talking about a skill, right?
[Yes.]
— Sure enough, among my pile of skills right now, there really isn't one related to medical arts. But you have to give it to me! Without giving me such an awesome skill, I can't do anything about it. Give it to me now, and I'll immediately chase after them and cure her!
[The host has not enjoyed life to its utmost yet. More enjoyment is needed to have a chance of obtaining the rare Divine Physician skill.]
— Not to the utmost yet?
[Not enough.]
— Damn it, I've been having fun in all sorts of ways. Don't push it.
— Well, thirty days is still a long time. Let's see if there's a chance to get this skill after the road trip. If I get the skill, then I'll contact Li Muhan.
— Good thing I got her WeChat just now, otherwise, I really wouldn't be able to contact her later.
......
"Su Yang-ge! What are you doing? Come over for the group photo~"
"Oh, oh, coming."
Su Yang temporarily stopped thinking about it. He'd just go with the flow. If he got the Divine Physician skill, he'd cure her; if he didn't, there was nothing he could do.
He shook his head, turned around, and walked towards the group. Meng Wenzhou asked a tourist to take a photo for them.
The eleven of them stood in front of the stone monument and took a group photo at 4680 meters.
Afterwards, Su Yang led everyone up and down the top hundred or so steps over ten times.
It wasn't until 3:50 PM that everyone, utterly exhausted, took the cable car down the mountain.
A little after 6 PM, the eleven of them returned to the ancient town, concluding today's Yulong Snow Mountain training.
After randomly finding a restaurant for dinner, everyone eagerly hurried back to the inn.
Today, everyone except Su Yang was completely worn out, but fortunately, no one in the group showed symptoms of altitude sickness.
On the way back to the inn, Su Yang suddenly remembered what Meng Qianyu had told him back in Er City—that the peak of the Perseid meteor shower was supposedly tonight.
He quickly walked up to Meng Qianyu and asked, "Qianyu, are we still going to watch the meteor shower tonight?"
Hearing this, Meng Qianyu didn't even think before showing an expectant expression and replying, "Of course I want to see it!! I almost forgot if you hadn't mentioned it. Luckily you reminded me. I found a perfect spot to watch the meteor shower yesterday."
Su Yang had thought that after running around all day, Meng Qianyu might skip the meteor shower, but he miscalculated.
He smiled wryly, "Aren't you tired? Are you sure you still want to go tonight?"
"I'm going even if I'm tired!!"
"Alright then. So where is this perfect viewing spot you mentioned?"
"Um, I think it's over by Gan Haizi."
"Gan... where? Gan Haizi? That's so far away??"
"Yeah, a blogger I found said it's a hidden gem for watching meteor showers. No crowds, no light pollution, high elevation, wide open view—the best place to see the meteor shower."
Su Yang gulped. So, they'd have to make another trip to Gan Haizi later.
He wasn't exactly tired, he just really didn't feel like traveling that far again.
While the two were talking, the other girls overheard, but none of them chimed in.
Su Yang looked at them, "Huh? Why no reaction? You guys coming tonight?"
Tang Ziyun quickly waved her hands, "Can't go at all. My feet feel like they're about to fall off. I just want to go back and lie down~"
"Me too!" Su Qingci also hurriedly raised her hand.
"What about Xiao Qing?" Su Yang looked at Zhong Qing.
Zhong Qing turned her head, pursed her lips, and smiled, "Do I look like I can walk anymore?~ You dragged me up and down the stairs over ten times this afternoon. I'm completely done for..."
Su Yang said helplessly, "Alright then. Pan?"
This was his last hope, though in his heart he knew Pan Ning best, but he still wanted to try.
Sure enough, Pan Ning didn't even turn her head and only said two words: "Not going."
Su Yang scratched his head helplessly and looked at Meng Qianyu.
Meng Qianyu blinked and smiled, "If they're not going, then the two of us will go. They're actually not going to watch a meteor shower? Su Yang, you promised me, you can't go back on your word~"
"I won't go back on my word. It's just... how about we just watch from the mountaintop in the ancient city?"
"The viewing platform on the ancient city mountaintop isn't good. Too many people, and there's light pollution. It would be okay just for watching the meteors, I guess. But I also want to take my camera to photograph the Milky Way. You can only get good shots in places without light pollution."
Hearing this, Su Yang let out a sigh, "Alright then..."
He couldn't be bothered to ask Meng Wenzhou and the others; they definitely wouldn't go.
And so, tonight, it looked like he would be going to Gan Haizi alone with Meng Qianyu.

u Chenyuan transmigrated into a female-oriented novel about a real and fake heiress, becoming the CEO elder brother of both. Unfortunately, the entire Lu family—including himself, the CEO—were mere cannon fodder in the story. Determined to save himself, Lu Chenyuan took action. The spoiled, attention-seeking fake heiress? Thrown into the harsh realities of the working class to learn humility. The love-struck real heiress? Pushed toward academic excellence, so lofty goals would blind her to trivial romances. As for the betrayed, vengeful arranged marriage wife… the plot hadn’t even begun yet. There was still time—if he couldn’t handle her, he could at least avoid her. "CEO Lu, are you avoiding me?" Mo Qingli fixed her gaze on Lu Chenyuan. For the first time, the shrewd and calculating Lu Chenyuan felt a flicker of unease.
