The vegetarian food tasted delicious, but the atmosphere was a little tense while they were eating. Ye Tianxin had clearly tried her best to lighten up the atmosphere.
However, only Shi Han, Mo’er, and herself were talking in the end.
Both Xie Yi and Xie Xuning were acting quite distant and cold.
The weather in winter seemed to change so quickly.
At first, the sky was still clear and the sun was shining brightly before lunch.
As soon as they finished eating, it was snowing heavily and the dark clouds concealed the sun.
“We won’t be able to go down the mountain today in weather like this.”
There would’ve been no problem if only four of them went down the mountain.
However, Mo’er, the little child, was still with them. They could’ve been easily in danger if they went down the mountain right now.
“Can’t we just go down the mountain?”
Xie Yi stared at the sky outside and knew that they couldn’t go down the mountain. It was snowing quite heavily and the wind was howling.
As soon as the door opened, a gust of wind mixed with snowflakes poured inside the room.
“We can’t go down the mountain in bad weather like this.”
Xie Yi felt inexplicably disappointed after she heard that. Why couldn’t they go down the mountain?
She asked Mo Shi to supervise the physical examinations of the old lady in the hospital. She needed up-to-date inspection reports to make the revised surgical plan.
If she couldn’t go down the mountain soon, it meant that her surgery was going to be at great risk.
As a doctor, she would rather have a rusty scalpel than let any patient suffer.
However…whenever she picked up the scalpel, she hoped that her operation could save the patient from any form of pain.
“Xie Yi, don’t be anxious. Come on, take a deep breath with me. Since we can’t go down the mountain because of the heavy snow right now, it’ll only be a matter of time before we finally can. Why don’t we just enjoy some time together and have a vacation?”
Shi Han had been observing Xie Yi and was concerned that she might not be very well.
Xie Yi stared at Shi Han helplessly. Shi Han motioned her to relax with him.
“Dad, there must be tons of people who are stuck on the mountain now. I don’t know if there are enough rooms for everyone to stay.”
“Let me go ask.”
Xie Xuning opened the thick curtains and walked out. The relentless wind carried some scattered snowflakes into the room, which fell on the ground and quickly melted away.
She Han asked, “Are you feeling better?”
Xie Yi nodded and said, “I am much better.”
Shi Han felt Xie Yi’s forehead, which was slightly cold. He was worried that she might get sick.
It was his fault for being inconsiderate in the first place. They shouldn’t have gone up the mountain today.
“I’m fine.”
Xie Yi took dozens of deep breaths before she could release the suffocating air in her chest.
Xie Xuning returned half an hour later with a ceramic teapot in his hands.
“It was so cold today that I made sure to ask them to cook some ginger soup. You guys should have a sip of it so you don’t catch a cold.”
Xie Xuning poured a cup of ginger tea and handed it to Ye Tianxin. He said, “Tianxin, hand it to Dr. Xie.”
Xie Xuning thought that Xie Yi was probably still in shock because she fell in the plum grove today.
It would’ve been unfortunate if she caught a cold due to that incident, which could affect her surgery.
The ginger soup had brown sugar and ginger shreds, which tasted a little spicy and sweet.
Xie Yi took the ginger soup from Ye Tianxin. Her depressed mood nearly vanished after taking a sip of the soup.
“Mr. Xie, you are so considerate. I didn’t even think about the ginger soup.” Shi Han praised Xie Xuning for his thoughtfulness.
