Trending topic alert: The mysterious fan site administrator of a top celebrity has been exposed.

The plane landed at Longdongbao Airport in Guizhou, and after several hours of bumpy driving on winding mountain roads, the crew's car finally arrived at their destination—Yuntou Village, hidden deep in the folds of the mountains in southeastern Guizhou—by dusk.

The air is filled with the moist scent of grass, trees, and earth, and nearby are terraced fields layered upon each other and wooden stilted houses built against the mountainside.

The simple opening ceremony was held under the huge, century-old banyan tree at the entrance of the village, which was adorned with red ribbons.

There were no dazzling lights or stage, no swarms of media, only the program's main creators, a few celebrity guests, Dr. Chu Yi, the flight doctor, and villagers and children who came to look on curiously after hearing the news.

The ceremony was simple. The director and the village chief spoke in Mandarin and the local dialect, respectively, expressing their hope that the program would raise awareness of rural healthcare.

The celebrities then stepped forward one by one, giving brief and sincere self-introductions to the camera and the villagers.

Chu Yi, the only professional doctor in the team, was also invited to say a few words. He spoke concisely, stating that he would do his best to protect everyone's health and assist in providing medical support. His tone was calm and reliable, which reassured everyone.

After the opening ceremony, the staff led everyone to where they would be staying for the next twenty days.

The accommodation was a relatively spacious stilted house in the village, which was originally an old house belonging to a family in the village. The production team rented it in advance and carried out some simple reinforcement and cleaning.

The wooden house has two floors. Downstairs there is a main room, a kitchen, and a small bedroom. Upstairs there is a large open space, divided into several relatively independent small spaces by wooden partitions.

"Please bear with us as conditions are limited," the person in charge explained somewhat apologetically. "This small bedroom downstairs is for Dr. Chu, so he can be reached if any villagers or others have an emergency at night. Upstairs... you'll have to decide which rooms to use yourselves. Also, Teacher Qin Yaoyao will be staying at the end of the corridor, so she can be there to help in case of an emergency."

Pushing open the door, the distinctive scent of wood wafted out. The room was spotless, but clearly extremely simple.

Chu Yi's room is on the first floor. It is not large and can only fit a single wooden bed, an old desk and a chair.

The bed was covered with a blue-printed cotton sheet, which looked clean but was stiff. The walls were made of wood panels, and traces of mud could be seen in the gaps.

The window wasn't big, but when you opened it, you could see the terraced fields layered on top of each other not far away.

"Teacher Chu, look at this..." The person in charge looked at Chu Yi with some trepidation, afraid that Chu Yi would not be comfortable.

Chu Yi merely glanced at it and nodded: "Very good, very quiet, thank you."

After seeing off the program's director, Chu Yi closed the door, temporarily isolating this small space from the world.

The room was dimly lit, so he fumbled for the old incandescent bulb hanging from the rafters and turned it on. The dim yellow light barely illuminated the entire room.

The air was filled with the scent of old wood and a faint musty smell, but it wasn't unpleasant; instead, it had a tranquil feel, as if time had settled in.

Chu Yi didn't rush to pack her luggage. Instead, she walked to the small window and pushed open the wooden window with a creak.

A gentle breeze carrying the fresh scent of mountain grass and trees rushed in, dispelling the stuffiness in the room. The view suddenly opened up, revealing terraced fields layer upon layer, winding down the mountainside.

The setting sun was slowly sinking, hanging between the outline of the distant mountains and the surface of the terraced fields, dyeing the sky a warm orange-red.

The tension from a busy workday began to slowly relax upon setting foot on this land. And now, facing this tranquil and magnificent natural landscape, Chu Yi felt the last trace of the restlessness brought on by the city quietly settle down.

An unprecedented sense of peace slowly enveloped him.

Chu Yi stood quietly by the window for a while, until the sun had sunk a little lower and the mountain air was getting cooler, before she turned around and started packing her luggage.

He didn't bring much, but it was all practical. He took out a dark gray cotton four-piece bedding set and a fluffy thin cotton quilt from his suitcase.

The nights in the mountains are chilly, and although the bedding provided by the production team was clean, it was clearly too thin and stiff. Chu Yi has a constitution that tends towards coldness and is sensitive to temperature changes, so he made preparations in advance.

Chu Yi deftly removed the clean but stiff blue-printed bedding set from the bed, replacing it with the soft four-piece set she had brought herself.

When the neat gray sheets were laid out and the fluffy quilt was folded at the head of the bed, the simple little room immediately gained a touch of his personal cleanliness and comfort.

Then, he took out an extra, thicker down comforter that he had brought and placed it aside for future use.

After all this was done, the room looked somewhat settled.

Chu Yi walked to the window again. The setting sun was now only a golden edge. The night in the mountains was so quiet that you could hear the faint barking of dogs in the distance and the rustling of insects nearby.

Conditions here may be harsh, but there is a pure power that brings peace of mind.

He gently closed half of the window, leaving only a crack for ventilation, then turned around and began to organize the medicines and medical record book he had brought, preparing for the work that would officially begin tomorrow.

---

On the afternoon of the third day, an unusual engine sound came from afar, breaking the tranquility at the entrance of the village.

A gleaming black SUV, clearly freshly washed in the county town, stopped under the banyan tree at the village entrance, its presence completely out of place amidst the surrounding muddy dirt roads.

The car door opened, and the first to jump out were agent Xu Yang and an assistant, both looking exhausted yet relieved.

Immediately afterwards, a tall figure slowly leaned out.

Zhou Ai has arrived.

He wore light blue ripped jeans, a black printed T-shirt, and a white shirt casually draped over it as an outer layer. His silver-gray hair was still striking in the slightly hazy mountain light.

He wore a pair of huge sunglasses that covered most of his face, revealing only his well-defined jawline and lips.

Even though she was travel-worn and dressed casually, the star power and aura cultivated by millions of admirers still instantly attracted everyone's attention.

Several children playing nearby stopped and looked at the person who seemed to have stepped out of a picture book with a mixture of timidity and curiosity.

Upon hearing the news, the program's director and manager rushed over, their faces beaming with warm yet slightly apologetic smiles: "Teacher Zhou! You must be tired from your journey! Oh dear, we're so sorry, the conditions here are limited, please bear with us!"

Zhou Ai took off her sunglasses, revealing her peach blossom eyes, which looked somewhat sleepy from days of fatigue and long journeys, with the light blue shadows under her eyes clearly visible.

He casually glanced at the stilted houses, terraced fields, and distant mountains around him, his gaze finally settling on the program crew members who came out of the stilted house after hearing the noise.

His gaze swept quickly over Xie Mo, Gu Jingyi, Zhou Jiashu, and Qin Yaoyao, lingering on their faces for less than half a second before he nodded as a greeting.

Then, he turned around precisely and caught Chu Yi walking back from the direction of the health center, carrying a stack of notebooks.

Chu Yi clearly saw him too, and paused almost imperceptibly.

Zhou Ai's lips twitched as if by an invisible thread, naturally curving into a smile. He ignored the director who was showing him concern and took two steps straight toward Chu Yi.

"Dr. Chu," his voice was noticeably hoarse, a consequence of continuous singing and lack of sleep, yet his tone was familiar as if they had only been apart for a short while, "Am I late? How's the situation in the mountains?"

It was as if he hadn't missed the opening ceremony and was two days late, but rather arrived just in time to participate in the core work.

All eyes were on the two of them.

Chu Yi stopped and calmly replied, "Welcome, Teacher Zhou. The temperature difference between day and night is large in the mountains, so please keep warm. The work has just begun, and everything is going smoothly."

His answer was polite and professional, without any flaws, yet it also carried a clear sense of boundaries, directly defining Zhou Ai as a "newly joined work partner".

Zhou Ai seemed completely unconcerned by the aloofness in his tone. Her gaze swept over Chu Yi's fingers holding the notebook before returning to his face, and she smiled, "That's good. I'll have to trouble Dr. Chu to take care of me from now on."

At this moment, the staff member in charge of arranging accommodations approached with some difficulty: "Teacher Zhou, your accommodation... there's only one window seat left in the dormitory upstairs, would you like to..."

Upon hearing this, Zhou Ai raised an eyebrow, glanced at the open window on the second floor, and then seemingly casually glanced at Chu Yi's tightly closed door on the first floor, asking casually, "Where does Dr. Chu live?"

"Dr. Chu is staying in a single room on the first floor for emergency use."

"Oh." Zhou Ai drawled out her words, seemingly lost in thought, then suddenly said to the person in charge, "No need to trouble yourself to arrange anything upstairs. I see there's a long couch in the main room downstairs; I'll sleep there."

The person in charge was stunned: "Huh? This...this won't do! That's just for resting, it's very hard, and it's not private at all..."

"It's alright," Zhou Ai interrupted him, her tone casual yet leaving no room for refusal. "I'm a light sleeper, and it's noisy upstairs with lots of people. It's quiet downstairs, and besides..."

He paused, then looked meaningfully at Chu Yi, "Being closer to Dr. Chu makes it easier to call for help if I experience altitude sickness or other acclimatization issues tonight, right, Dr. Chu?"

His last question was directed at Chu Yi, his peach blossom eyes gleaming with a mischievous yet self-righteous light.

Chu Yi: "..."

Everyone: "..."

The reason sounds reasonable, but something just doesn't feel right.

In the end, the production team couldn't refuse this "sponsor," so they had to temporarily add bedding to the long couch in the main room, which was a very "down-to-earth" bed arrangement for Zhou Ai.

The location was right outside Chu Yi's door, diagonally opposite.

Zhou Ai casually pushed her suitcase to the side of the tatami mat, seemingly quite satisfied with the arrangement.

He looked up and met Xie Mo's amused gaze as Xie Mo peered out of the second-floor window to watch the commotion.

Zhou Aichong smiled lazily, then turned his gaze back to Chu Yi's closed door and whistled in a good mood.

Everything in the mountains finally seemed to become interesting.
