By linking my account to the check-in system, I became a leisurely traveler.

Chapter 265 Heartwarming Moments Together [Two Chapters Combined]

When I finally woke up, the snowstorm outside had stopped.

Looking out the window, all I could see was a vast expanse of white.

If you ignore the avalanche scene, the scenery is actually quite nice.

However, given the current circumstances, it's hard not to think that they were trapped here by an avalanche.

Liu Li fell asleep again.

Actually, when Liu Li woke up and furtively rolled over onto him to go to the toilet, Li Younan was awake, but he pretended not to be awake so as not to make her even more embarrassed.

When she returned, Li Younan deliberately moved to a spot closer to the inside, making it easier for her to get into bed.

Now Li Younan could get a closer and quieter look at the girl sleeping beside him.

Strictly speaking, although they are sleeping in the same bed now, their relationship is still purely platonic.

Liu Li has long eyelashes, and now that she is sleeping peacefully, her lips are lovely natural petal lips, as delicate as a porcelain doll. Her skin is fair, and her long hair is loose and unkempt, with a slightly broken look.

Li Younan thought with amusement that if she were to cosplay Nakamori Akina, although their appearances would be quite different, their temperaments might be very similar.

As he thought this, Li Younan gently hugged her again, his hand casually but naturally touching her chest...

Now, if I accidentally gain these small advantages, I feel much more at ease.

Of course, further steps will have to be taken gradually.

Now that they've officially established a relationship, even a simple hug when Liu Li is sober is quite embarrassing, so taking things further is definitely not realistic in the short term.

The relationship between the two is not simply about satisfying physical desires, so patience is needed in everything.

Li Younan wasn't in a hurry.

Right now, just quietly holding this soft and fragrant girl is enough for Li Younan.

Managing a relationship requires a lot of time and energy, especially for someone like Liu Li who has little experience... It's best to just let things take their natural course.

As for other things, Li Younan was too lazy to think about them.

After leaving here, my relationship with Liu Yu became somewhat delicate, and I wondered how he would react.

But in any case, starting today I can openly take advantage of her.

Thinking of this, Li Younan couldn't help but smile happily. He looked down at the sleeping girl and couldn't resist kissing her lips.

……

The clouds in the sky were still thick, but after the snow stopped, perhaps because of the high altitude, there were fewer impurities in the air, and the world had become clear and bright.

Last night's snow had covered the roof of the car with a thick layer, and the open ground in the mountain valley outside the car was also covered with a layer of snow that was above shoes.

Yesterday, they didn't conduct a thorough survey. Today, with the environment calmer, Li Younan finally had the opportunity and time to take a closer look at the surroundings of their car.

After the avalanche, the snow on the road was at least one meter thick.

This mountain valley is, undeniably, a very safe place.

Li Younan turned his gaze to the mountaintop again. The location of this valley was along the ridgeline, as if a gap had been forcibly cut off at the bottom of the ridge.

Because of this unique terrain, even if another avalanche occurs on the mountain, it will be diverted to the side.

With his strong mountaineering skills and the ability to anticipate events, Li Younan felt that this place was very safe, but only in the event of an avalanche.

A careful analysis reveals several key challenges they currently face.

First of all, it's cold. After all, this place is at an altitude of over 3800 meters, and the temperature drops below zero after nightfall, and even during the day it's only a few degrees.

However, as long as the car has enough diesel fuel, the diesel heater can run 24 hours a day. Diesel heaters are very durable, so the cold is not a big problem at the moment. But that doesn’t mean there is no risk at all. The heating system should be checked carefully every day.

Secondly, there is the food shortage. If we don't receive a rescue team for a long time, food will indeed be a problem... However, there is no need to worry about it for now.

So the two issues that really need to be considered next are secondary avalanches and rockfalls on the mountain.

Sitting idly by and waiting for death or resigning oneself to fate has never been Li Younan's style. After carefully observing the situation on the mountain, he decided to climb up and check for potential risks again.

After the avalanche, there wasn't much snow left on the mountain. The snow that fell yesterday wasn't very thick, so climbing up wasn't particularly difficult.

This task needs to be done by someone.

However, it's not something that needs to be done immediately.

According to Huang Xiaoyang, there will be more precipitation in the next two days, which will turn into snowfall at this altitude.

It's best to wait until the snow has stopped before climbing up.

The three people were trapped here and needed to find something to do to pass the time.

After everyone got up in the morning, Li Younan asked Liu Li to film him.

Standing in front of the camera, Li Younan casually described their current situation: "So this position is relatively safe, but getting out of trouble will be very troublesome."

"Everyone, follow me and take another look over here. This is the road we drove up, but it's now completely covered by snow."

"The road is completely out of sight now. Can you see where the road is? Hehe, but don't be too nervous. The weather will clear up in about two days. The snow will melt a bit, and the rescue teams down below will slowly make their way up. We just need to stay here calmly."

“If I were in a regular car and got stuck here, the lack of food and heating would be a huge problem, but I don’t have those problems yet.”

"Next, I'm going to climb up to the roof and clear the snow off it."

After filming the video, Li Younan organized the two girls to play Dou Dizhu (a popular Chinese card game).

There were only three people. If we had another girl, we could have played mahjong, which would have been more fun.

He carried a variety of entertainment items in his car, including game consoles, playing cards, chess, and an owl.

Playing the same thing over and over again can get a bit boring.

After lunch, I lost interest in continuing to play cards.

Li Younan suggested that we take a nap.

Liu Li nodded shyly.

Seeing this, Zhizhi silently gathered up the dishes and went to wash them.

Liu Li stood up and said she would come, but Zhizhi did not agree.

For Zhizhi, she was undoubtedly an intruder, barging into their world as a couple, eating and living there. If she didn't take the initiative to do some housework, she would feel even more embarrassed.

Liu Li hesitated for a moment, then let Zhizhi go about her business.

Li Younan pulled Liu Li to the sofa bed and drew the privacy curtain.

Liu Li didn't say anything, she just kept getting into bed and crawling under the covers, then taking off her down jacket under the covers.

Seeing Liu Li's shy expression, Li Younan teased her, "Brother Long, you were so reckless yesterday, why are you so hesitant to even take off your clothes today?"

Liu Li gently bit her lip: "Since I've already... been with you, it means I've considered everything."

"But...but..."

She lowered her head deeply and said softly, "I'm still shy. I hope you can give me a little more time, a little more time to prepare myself. But if you don't want to wait..."

"I, I can give you anything."

Li Younan was stunned.

The world was quiet, and all that remained in his eyes was the shy dragon girl.

Liu Li's reaction was completely unexpected. He hadn't expected Liu Li to think so deeply and make such a resolute decision.

Li Younan even felt that if he were to be more ruthless now, Liu Li probably wouldn't resist.

But the more this happened, the more he felt pity for the girl in front of him.

Li Younan chuckled softly, then slipped into bed. He moved closer to Liu Li, whispering, "I won't bully you until you're fully prepared."

Liu Li shyly buried her head in Li Younan's chest and then softly hummed in agreement.

She inhaled Li Younan's scent with a fascination, then looked up and said, "Li Younan... I love you."

Li Younan blinked, her mind blank for half a second: "Hmm."

This girl has no special skills, but every time she touches a straight man's heart, she does it perfectly.

Ugh.

The air outside was still, and thick clouds piled up in the sky like cotton candy.

Li Younan quietly held Liu Li and gently kissed her again; her lips were soft.

……

Thus, the three of them spent the first two days together, sharing hardships.

Weather forecasts are never accurate, as the sun came out on the morning of the third day.

The past two days have been quite smooth for the three people trapped here.

Aside from their initial panic, influenced by Li Younan's emotions, the two girls temporarily forgot they were trapped there and their mood became more relaxed.

Because the area where we could move around was so small, but luckily there were three of us, it wasn't too boring.

Every day, Li Younan meticulously inspects all the key parts and systems of the car in the wind and snow.

It must be said that this car was the result of a lot of hard work, and now it has paid off. Its durability and reliability are even better than Li Younan had imagined.

Not only is the vehicle's frame reliable, but the modified electrical and plumbing systems in his living area also ensured that the extremely cold weather did not affect the vehicle.

In addition, the drones will also fly around every day to check on the outside situation.

Rescue vehicles have already arrived at the foot of the mountain. It is worth mentioning that they are not the only vehicles stuck on the road, but they are all vehicles that were trapped by landslides halfway up the mountain or at the foot of the mountain.

As we descended, the temperature rose noticeably, and the snow turned into rain. The rescue team cleared the obstacles, allowing vehicles that had been stranded for a day or two to pass through smoothly. However, the situation at the summit was more complicated, and the vehicles clearing the obstacles would need some time to reach the top.

Because satellite phones are one-way communication devices, the local rescue teams did not forget Li Younan, but they also had no way to contact him proactively. Therefore, Li Younan would call them every day to tell them that everything was safe.

It's worth mentioning that their car got stuck on the mountain, which even alarmed the local top official. Local staff repeatedly assured Li Younan that they would definitely rescue them and told him not to be afraid.

This touched Li Younan somewhat.

However, Li Younan's RV was an absolutely safe fortress, with enough time and space for rescue. If it were an ordinary SUV, the situation would be much more complicated... or even if it were someone else, they might have already been buried by the snow.

It is foreseeable that after this successful escape, releasing a video of the entire process will definitely shock many people.

These things can be collectively referred to as his duties as a man.

Aside from their duties, the three of them spent the rest of their time together chatting, eating, and having fun.

Li Younan has been cooking for us these past few days. We eat together every day, and Li Younan is usually the one who starts the conversation, chatting casually to liven up the atmosphere.

After meals, Zhizhi would take the initiative to clean and wash the dishes.

Once everything is done, we'll get together to play games or do something competitive, like chess or Gomoku.

Chess is one of the few board games that girls can learn quickly, but becoming very proficient or even skilled at it is not so easy.

Playing chess with two little girls was rather boring for Li Younan, so he mostly watched them play against each other, even though they were novices.

Occasionally, when I felt a bit helpless watching the game, I would point to a corner of the chessboard and give a hint to one of the idiots.

If the fool doesn't realize it at this point, that's fine. But if he does, and makes a brilliant move, it will immediately provoke the opponent's dissatisfaction.

At this point, there are two scenarios. If Liu Li is the one who benefits, Zhizhi will pitifully say, "Yes, yes, you two are in cahoots, bullying me."

Conversely, if Zhizhi is the one who benefits, Liu Li will smile slightly and then deliver a Kamehameha to Li Younan.

For Li Younan, the most anticipated part of these past two days was actually nightfall. Finally, Liu Li faced a major problem she had to confront: taking a bath.

For girls, even in this kind of environment, without the anxiety of survival, taking a bath is something they need to keep doing.

After sleeping with Li Younan, changing clothes became a very real hassle.

She's not yet open enough to strip naked in front of Li Younan.

Interestingly, Liu Li didn't chase Li Younan outside the privacy curtain; instead, she huddled in a corner, covered herself with the blanket, and struggled to change her bath clothes.

Li Younan said with a smile, "Actually, if you're embarrassed, you can let me out."

Liu Lilu shook her head, which was still outside the blanket: "This is my reaction, not the kind of reaction that should occur in our relationship..."

Li Younan paused for a moment, gradually realizing that in Liu Li's mind, their so-called relationship was of great significance, with very concrete manifestations in the eyes of the young girl.

"Do you think that with our relationship, we can't even hide it from each other when changing clothes?"

"Huh? Why do you say that? That's not true at all!"

"That is?"

"I feel that our relationship... is like that of strangers who are ambiguous with each other, hearts that are gradually getting closer, and family members who will support each other in the future. We should... please each other."

I know you want to see it.

“I’m your girlfriend, which makes me happy. It means I’m attractive to you, so I can’t kick you out. That would be a betrayal of our relationship.”

“I don’t object to you thinking about… erotic things, and I’m even happy about it.”

As Liu Li spoke, she lowered her head further and her face grew redder.

"But I still get shy."

Li Younan was completely stunned by Long Mei.

Liu Li crawled out of bed, already changed into her nightgown for showering.

As she stepped over Li Younan, she pinched his cheek. "My boy, may you believe in love."

Li Younan patted her bottom in an annoyed tone.

Amazing elasticity.

"Hate!"

The girl was both inexperienced and playful; she blushed and ran away.

At the same time, a soft coughing sound came from behind the privacy curtain of the lift bed.

Li Younan touched his nose... He seemed to have been a little too oblivious to others.

However, in situations like this, as long as you don't feel awkward, it's others who will feel awkward.

Li Younan can be incredibly shameless at times like this.

At this moment, Tuan Tuan, the owl that Li Younan had completely let loose, walked to the sofa bed with an arrogant gait, tilted its head to look at Li Younan, and made a "coo coo" sound.

Li Younan picked her up and messed up her feather-like hairstyle with a wicked grin.

……

After the snow stopped, Li Younan prepared to go up the mountain to clear any potential dangers.

In fact, he had already identified three potential rockfall locations on the mountain using drones beforehand.

One of the most dangerous spots was where a few trees had stopped a pile of rocks that had rolled down right above the ravine.

Although the distance is relatively far, and it may not necessarily land on the ravine when it rolls down, even the slightest possibility is a significant hidden danger.

Climbing up would be much less risky for Li Younan.

However, the two girls were still very worried when they set off.

Li Younan patted Liu Li's head: "Don't forget, I can climb Mount Gongga with ease, there won't be any problems. You can just watch me climb up from the drone later."

With Li Younan's encouragement, the two girls obediently got into the car.

As the drone took off, Li Younan gave it a two-finger salute.

Li Younan put on a full set of mountaineering gear, carrying crampons and a carbon fiber alloy axe, with the short knife at his waist and a slingshot and steel balls in his breast pocket.

Although there is little chance of wild animal attacks in the mountains, precautions should still be taken – after all, there are snow leopards in this area.

In this terrain, even someone as strong as Li Younan would have no chance against a snow leopard in terms of agility, but things would be different once he brought a slingshot.

A slingshot is also a bow. Within tens of meters, a slingshot is fast, and within a few meters, it is both powerful and fast.

Once he started climbing, Li Younan became completely focused and attentive.

He may boast and brag, but when it comes to actually taking action, he is never careless or negligent.

Every time he went up a little, he would first use his ice axe to check if it was secure.

Overall, the slope is not particularly steep. At least compared to Gongga Snow Mountain, the slope is still within an acceptable range, at about 60 degrees, and there are some places where the slope is even less than that.

However, there are also some locations where the terrain is almost vertical.

However, for Li Younan, even a slope greater than 90 degrees can be climbed by relying on his strong rock climbing skills.

The steeper the slope, the less snow there is; the places where snow actually accumulates are those with gentler slopes.

Although it had snowed for two days, the snow accumulation on the mountain was not very thick. Even in some particularly flat areas, there was only a few centimeters of snow powder.

This made Li Younan breathe a slight sigh of relief, at least there was no immediate danger of a second avalanche.

This climb truly felt like a conquest in Li Younan's eyes.

He didn't feel this way when he climbed Mount Gongga before, but this time it was different; his relationship with the mountain took on a tone of confrontation and conflict.

With unwavering determination, Li Younan quickly climbed several hundred meters upwards.

He soon arrived at the risk point that the drone had previously surveyed—a few pine trees on the mountain had tenaciously supported the rocks rolling down from higher ground, but the branches were deformed by the weight, and perhaps with a little more external force, they would not be able to hold on and the rocks would roll down.

Li Younan secured himself with a safety rope, and then, starting with the top stone, moved the stones to a nearby flat area.

Without an excessive external force, these stones would not be able to roll down.

The last stone was more troublesome; it was as big as half a car tire and weighed at least five or six hundred kilograms. Even Li Younan couldn't move it.

On the contrary, this rock was the one that bore the most weight of the branch, and it was also the one that caused the most astonishing damage when it rolled down.

This presented a bit of a problem. Li Younan stood a few meters above the rock and carefully observed the situation. He looked towards the valley on the right side of the ridge and gradually came up with a solution.

If moving it doesn't work, then try to guide the stone to roll downhill first.

If it can be guided to the right side of the ridge, the stone will naturally roll down towards the valley.

……

In the mountains after a snowfall, the air is as sharp as a knife.

Li Younan stood beneath the massive rock that resembled a sword hanging overhead, looking up and scrutinizing it with a gaze as calm as a scanner.

He had already spent nearly half an hour surveying the area.

Before taking action, Li Younan did not act rashly. Like a surgeon, he carefully examined the center of gravity of the boulder, the contact point between it and the branches below, as well as the several possible paths it might roll down.

His mountaineering skills gave him a keen intuition for predicting danger, and this intuition allowed him to simulate the trajectory of a boulder rolling down in his mind after collecting this information.

It is foreseeable that if the rock breaks the tree branch and rolls down, it is very likely to roll into the ravine.

But if there is even the slightest deviation, it will roll down the ridge into the valley next to it.

All Li Younan wanted to give was this slight deviation in power.

A moment later, he had a plan that he was absolutely certain of.

Next, he deftly cleared away the snow and loose stones from the pre-set path, his movements swift and efficient, without any unnecessary steps.

It is very important to clear away all small stones and loose snow that may affect the direction of the path around the boulder.

After ensuring everything was in order, he set up a sturdy anchor point on a bare, hard rock above and secured the safety rope tightly around his waist.

Next, we need to find the tools.

His gaze swept around and quickly settled on a fallen log half-covered by snow.

The wood is hard, and its length and thickness are just right.

He dragged it over and carefully used an ice axe to carve a sturdy groove near the bottom of the boulder as a fulcrum.

everything's ready.

Li Younan took a deep breath of the cold air, his chest expanded, and his powerful cardiopulmonary function infused him with a calm strength.

He gripped the end of the lever with both hands and stood firmly with one foot in front of the other.

Initially, it was a tentative effort.

The lever bent slightly under his pressure, making a teeth-grinding "creak" sound, but the boulder remained unmoved.

He remained calm, adjusted his breathing and angle, and perfectly transferred his entire weight and power to the lever through his core muscles.

It's a kind of effortless, yet oppressive feeling.

"Gala——"

A faint yet clear cracking sound came from the bottom of the boulder.

It's now!

A glint flashed in Li Younan's eyes, and his entire body's strength erupted in an instant. It wasn't a brute forceful push, but a precise, short, and concentrated burst of power. At the same time, his free left hand held the ice axe and swiftly struck the side of the boulder at a pre-judged spot!
"boom……"

The boulder seemed extremely reluctant and wobbled slightly before its last bit of attachment to the branches below was completely torn away!

It started to move.

It glided slowly at first, but soon, it tumbled down the path that Li Younan had carefully chosen for it.

It bounced and crashed against the mountainside, carrying more snow powder and gravel, before finally plunging into the valley on the right.

It was exactly the same trajectory I had envisioned in my mind.

perfect!

Li Younan was once again impressed by the powerful abilities the system had granted him.

In a sense, it's almost like predicting the future, just like the last avalanche.

He stood up, brushed the snow off his clothes, walked to the edge of the cliff, and looked down at the valley. The danger had been eliminated.

He gave a casual two-finger salute once again to the drone hovering far below.

However, Li Younan was not in a hurry to go down.

He looked back towards the mountaintop.

Ok……

come all come...

Li Younan's heart began to itch again.
