I run a clinic in the United States

Chapter 142 Murphy's First Kiss

Lake Tahoe is located in the northern section of the Sierra Nevada Mountains in the United States, with an altitude of 1897 meters and a total length of 115 kilometers of shoreline, spanning California and Nevada, 2/3 of which are located in California. It has been one of the famous scenic spots in North America for many years.

It is a resort all year round, especially in winter, and it is one of the most famous ski resorts in the United States.

There are dozens of ski resorts dotted around the lake, among which Heavenly, North Star, squawValley, sugar Bowl, and Alpine Meadows are the most famous.

The destination of Zhou Qiao's trip is the Heavenly ski resort with the highest altitude.

This ski resort is the only one in the West that spans two states. California is on the left, Nevada is on the right, and Lake Tahoe is in front of it. When skiing, you can overlook the entire vast Lake Tahoe.

Paradise Ski Resort is also the most expensive ski resort with the best facilities and the most beautiful scenery in this area.

Because of its high altitude, sometimes the white clouds are close at hand, the unusually majestic mountains and the breathtakingly beautiful lake landscape, it is not an exaggeration to say that it is the most beautiful ski resort in Lake Tahoe!

Iris Clinic is now rich. Since we are building a team, of course we can’t play around with Sou Sou. We just want to have fun when we go out to have fun, so Zhou Qiao always chooses the best ski resorts and high-end hotels!
Living in a small hotel, the conditions are poor and personal safety is not guaranteed.

It is about 300 kilometers from San Francisco to Lake Tahoe. After passing Twin Bridges, it is not far from the destination. There are still twenty or thirty kilometers left, but most of the rest of the road is mountainous.

It's more difficult to drive.

Especially, there are only two left and right lanes for vehicles to run in the opposite direction, and the lanes are relatively narrow.

If in China, this kind of scenic spot, this kind of driveway, and the holiday peak tourist season, can be blocked on the road for a day. Fortunately, the United States is sparsely populated and the road conditions are relatively good.

The most dangerous sections have a speed limit of 25 miles per hour.

But this kind of sign, if there are no speeding fines, it will be just a decoration no matter where it is.

The Americans didn't take it seriously, and just passed by with a "whoosh". Zhou Qiao and the others were driving at about 40 miles per hour, but many cars took advantage of the opposite lane to overtake them. The other party's speed At least all above 60mph!
Both Ava and Ariel can drive fast, but Park Xiuzhu is a bit slow and drives very cautiously. Everyone drives slowly in order to accommodate her.

There is 9-year-old Yoona in Park Soo-joo's car, she really dare not speed.

Too dangerous!

On both sides of the mountain road, many places are abysses, which are scary to look at!
In the distance, the tops of the mountains are covered with snow, and the highest altitude is more than 2000 meters. On both sides of the road, there are sometimes towering trees!

There are some trees, several people hug each other, at a glance, it is estimated to be at least 70 meters!
There are actually many such towering trees in the United States. For example, there is a Sequoia National Park in California. A huge sequoia fell and was hollowed out, turning it into a tree tunnel.

People can drive through it.

There is more than one giant tree tunnel like this.Some giant trees are more than 10 meters in diameter. They are living trees dug out from the middle and vehicles can pass through them.

This barbaric approach is relatively crude and will cause huge damage to the trees and shorten their lifespan.

Zhou Qiao looked at those giant trees along the way, and was very envious, feeling like she wanted to dig them all back to the country!
Finally arrived at the destination, parked the car in the hotel parking lot, and went to check in.

Since we were a little tired from driving that day, we didn’t go skiing. Instead, we found a high-end restaurant to fill our stomachs, and then took a walk along Lake Tahoe to digest the food.

When I came to a pier, there were many small boats parked by the lake, which can be rented to go boating on the lake.

Zhou Qiao rented a relatively large yacht, and everyone went on board together. The yacht can provide a driver, or not, and let the tourists drive by themselves.

Ariel said that she had been trained to drive this kind of boat, so this important task was taught to her!

Everyone brought a lot of snacks, fruits, and drinks, and boarded the yacht.

Lake Tahoe is an alpine lake and the second deepest lake in the United States. The snowfall period can last up to eight months in winter. However, because the lake is extremely deep, with the deepest point reaching 501 meters, it does not freeze in winter.

But in terms of water area, it is not very big, only about 26 square kilometers, a quarter of the size of Taihu Lake in Jiangsu.It doesn’t even rank among the Great Lakes in North America.The water storage capacity ranks approximately [-]th in the world.

There are many strong men who are not afraid of the cold and jump into the river for winter swimming in heavy snow.

Ariel would have jumped into the water if it wasn't for sailing the boat.

As for the others, they are too gentle to be suitable.

Zhou Qiao is always a little afraid of the lakes in the United States. It may be that he has watched too many monster movies in the United States before, and he always feels that there are some monsters lurking at the bottom of the lake.

Lake Tahoe in winter is definitely one of the most beautiful lakes in the world. With the blue sky and lake water, no matter how you look at it, your eyes will not get tired, and the air is extremely fresh.

Surrounded by towering mountains, snow-capped, densely forested, and such a huge lake, can the air be bad?
There are mountains and water, and there are various ski resorts, restaurants, supermarkets, etc., such scenic spots, to be honest, the surrounding villas are quite expensive.

In the evening, we will have a big meal and soak in hot springs. After we have rested and recuperated, we will go to the ski resort early tomorrow morning!

Park Soo-joo and Yoona share a room, Ariel and Billie share a room, Murphy shares a room, Elena and Ava share a room, and Zhou Qiao has a separate room.

However, it was obvious that it was a bit of a waste to book an extra room.

Before ten o'clock at night, Elena and Ava sneaked into Zhou Qiao's room!

But it's okay not to order one more, wouldn't that expose his relationship with the twin beauties?

The three of them had a tacit agreement to do this kind of thing secretly.

Early the next morning, everyone else was in high spirits, except Zhou Qiao and the other three who were yawning.Everyone looked at them curiously.

Park Xiuzhu asked: "Boss, is it because of the bed?"

Zhou Qiao quickly took the step and said, "It's a little bit, I can't sleep when I change places."

Elena and Ava also said yes again and again.It is said that the bed in the clinic is more soft, and the bed here is too hard.

Last night, they endured extremely hard, and they didn't dare to be too presumptuous, fearing that the sound insulation effect would be too poor.

A group of people went to the ski resort and rented ski equipment on the spot, because it was just for one-time play, and it was not very cost-effective to buy.

There are also coaches available on site, but it seems that except for Zhou Qiao, everyone else can ski. Even Murphy with autism can ski!
According to Park Soo Joo, Yoona can ski at the age of five!

Ariel said Billie could ski at the age of ten!

Zhou Qiao: "..."

After working on it for a long time, I’m the only one left alone?
He is 23 years old and he still doesn’t know how to do it!
I didn't dare to say that it was his first time to come to the ski resort, and he didn't know how to wear ski equipment, which was a bit embarrassing.

Paradise Ski Resort has 97 slides, divided into several grades, entry-level, elementary, intermediate, advanced, etc.

Ariel was more sturdy and took Billie directly to the advanced ski slopes.

The drop over there is very large, and there is a height difference of more than 1000 meters between the starting point and the ending point.

It just happens to be on the edge of Lake Tahoe, and there are several snow trails, which give people a feeling that if you are not careful, you will not be able to stop the car, and you will rush directly into the lake!
But in fact, the lake seems to be right at your feet, but actually it is quite a distance to slide over.

But no matter what, Zhou Qiao, a novice, dare not play on such a ski run.

Pu Xiuzhu was more cautious and took her daughter to the primary ski slope.

Although Murphy thought he was capable of challenging the intermediate ski slopes, he saw Zhou Qiao and the others heading towards the entry-level ski slopes, so he followed them.

When Murphy followed, Zhou Qiao was even more embarrassed.

Elena smiled and said: "What's wrong if you don't know how to skate? Come on, I'll teach you!"

Ava also said: "I love teaching you the most!"

The twin beauties, one on the left and one on the right, taught him how to wear snowshoes, how to wear protective gear, how to bend joints, how to grip the ground with toes, how to master balance, and how to make feet and boots a whole.

When skiing, where should you look, how to slow down, and how to brake? If you fall, don't panic. What is the most correct way to respond?
In fact, Zhou Qiao's ability to ski is determined by the environment in which he grew up, not to mention skiing, because his family was poor, and he didn't go out of the county for the first time until he went to college!

Unexpectedly, after graduating from college, I would go to the other side of the ocean, where I could travel, eat, and have high-end entertainment!
The encounters in life are so wonderful.

If it weren't for his aunt's gift, he would still be in China, and he might be living an ordinary life in a township hospital with a salary of several thousand yuan.

With one month's salary, it is estimated that I can't even afford a fresh Alaskan king crab!
Last time, they had a 16-pound freshly cooked king crab during team building. They ate nine crabs out of one, and they could only think about it in their dreams.

Zhou Qiao can't skate because of his previous growth environment, not because he is stupid.

He is actually very smart. With the twin beauties teaching him so hard, he quickly mastered the trick and began to slide slowly on the snowy track.

Now that he had been taught, Elena and Ava left him alone and let him practice slowly by himself, and then they rushed down hand in hand.

Murphy glanced at Zhou Qiao, with the corners of his mouth slightly raised, and walked forward with a push.

Zhou Qiao took a deep breath, gradually began to feel it, and began to speed up!

After his physical fitness has greatly improved, his athletic ability and body balance have also been enhanced. He thinks to himself that it will not be long before he can leave this novice track and challenge the junior track!
He might be a little floating, but suddenly, he didn't know whether there was a trap or a protruding stone under his feet, or he made a mistake, which made him lose his balance all of a sudden, his body fell on the snow, and he couldn't stop sliding down the slope!
Murphy heard the movement and looked back, Zhou Qiao bumped into her directly!

"Ah~"

Zhou Qiao's speed was too fast, she had no time to dodge, and was poked down by Zhou Qiao.

The two fell to the ground, entangled together, and rolled in the snow. When they stopped, Murphy suddenly discovered that at some point, Zhou Qiao was on top of her, and his mouth was sealed on hers!
Zhou Qiao: "..."

Murphy: "..."

"I didn't do it on purpose." Zhou Qiao quickly let go, struggled to sit up, and then asked Murphy, "Are you okay? Are you injured?"

Murphy's heart was beating fast. She glanced at Zhou Qiao secretly, then she sat up and rubbed her legs as she said, "It's okay, it's just that my legs hurt a little from being hit by me."

"Sorry, I'm not good at it!" Zhou Qiao apologized sincerely, then stood up and reached for Murphy.

Murphy blinked and obediently put his little hand into Zhou Qiao's palm!
In the distance, Elena and Ava turned their heads and saw Zhou Qiao pulling Murphy and crawling out of the snow ditch on the side of the track in a very embarrassing manner!

"Are you okay?" Elena yelled.

Zhou Qiao replied loudly: "It's okay, I just fell and hit Murphy."

Fortunately, this is an entry-level ski slope and the terrain is actually relatively gentle. Zhou Qiao pulled Murphy and slowly caught up with Elena and Ava.

Elena smiled apologetically, feeling that she shouldn't leave Zhou Qiao alone, so she stretched out her hand and grabbed Zhou Qiao!
The four of them connected together and headed towards the end of the ski run at lightning speed!
