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

Chapter 237 Will he really be willing to take me with him?

In January, Chengdu did not see any snow, but it had been overcast for many days in a row, with a damp and humid atmosphere in the air, making the weather very cold and gloomy.

This kind of cold is more unbearable than the crisp, dry snowfall in the north. It is all-pervasive; no matter where you hide, it will envelop you from all directions, chilling you to the bone.

However, this is temporarily irrelevant to Li Younan, because he is feeling genuinely warm right now—not psychologically, but in a tangible, material way.

At this moment, Li Younan was sitting in the Unimog RV... or more accurately, the "Freedom".

This is the name Li Younan gave to his new RV. The name was actually chosen rather hastily, as if it was decided on a whim.

However, since it's always called Unimog, it's difficult to distinguish it from other Unimog motorhomes.

At this moment, Li Younan sat in the cockpit, holding the steering wheel with one hand and a cup of coffee in his other free hand, humming a little tune, in a very comfortable posture.

I have to say, it's really exhilarating to drive a car with the same visibility as a large truck on the road.

With a field of vision of nearly three meters in the cockpit, Li Younan's eyes could see over almost all the cars on the road. This experience of being high up and able to see the end of the road at a glance was just perfect.

Moreover, its crash beam is even higher than the body of a regular SUV. Can you stand that?

Driving it gives me a great sense of security.

A higher vantage point offers many advantages; a wider field of vision makes traveling more enjoyable and pleasant.

A light drizzle was falling outside, and the weather was truly awful for this time of year.

The outside temperature is about two or three degrees Celsius, but as anyone who has studied biology knows, humidity can hinder the body's core heat dissipation methods. High temperatures amplify the feeling of stuffiness, while low temperatures amplify the feeling of damp cold, causing the perceived temperature to be much higher than the actual temperature.

For example, at low temperatures, humid air conducts heat better than dry air, and will carry away body heat more quickly.

However, the cockpit was incredibly warm, with a comfortable temperature and humidity that was also at a level most favorable for people.

This is thanks to the vehicle's perfect temperature and humidity control system.

Not only the cockpit, but the entire RV body is also kept in a spring-like environment all year round.

Under Li Younan's buttocks was an added air-cushioned seat. This type of seat, with its dynamic support and shock absorption design, is particularly comfortable when driving.

Li Younan even felt that sitting in such a seat, he wouldn't feel tired even if he drove for thousands of kilometers without stopping.

The destination at this moment is JK Long's residential area.

In fact, if JK Long hadn't sent that message, Li Younan would have also wanted to go over there...

Overall, with such a fortress-like vehicle, there shouldn't be any danger on routes like the 318.

It's basically a purely leisurely trip where you can stay in a safe, secure, and comfortable mobile home the whole time.

Motorhomes have many drawbacks, but this motorhome certainly doesn't.

Previously, when he lived alone in the wilderness, Li Younan had experienced what it was like to live alone for a long time. To be honest, even a ridiculously stupid little lamb would have made him feel warm back then.

This is why he was so angry after the ewe was killed by the grizzly bear.

This trip to the 318 National Highway, although the distance on the national highway is only about 20 days' drive, will definitely be another long journey due to the time spent outside the designated route.

So... if possible, Li Younan hopes that someone can accompany him on his journey.

Of course, Li Younan was very conservative in his thinking when considering that this person was JK Long.

The first thing to consider is JK Long's gender. She is a girl in her early twenties, and her relationship with me is... that of a friend, but it seems to be more of a partnership.

If they were to travel together, it would mean a lone man and woman alone in a room.

I am certainly happy to spend time with her like this, but the young girl might not be so happy.

To be precise, it would be more likely that people would think it's nonsense.

Another reason is that JK Long is a patient, and she is afraid of open spaces.

Li Younan had no idea whether being inside the RV and then driving it into an open space would be a negative buff for JK Dragon.

If something unexpected happens on the road, can I take responsibility for it?

So, although I sometimes think that it would be much more interesting if JK Long came along on a campervan trip with me.

But Li Younan never mentioned or showed any interest in this to JK Long.

At this moment, JK Long asked him to drive the car over. Li Younan thought that since she had watched him modify the car for so long in the live stream and even edited out several video clips, she must be very interested in what the car actually looks like.

Therefore, it's quite necessary to drive over and let her see the actual product.

It's worth mentioning that JK Long's family lives in an older residential complex with parking spaces under each building, which avoids the awkwardness of height restrictions when going down into the underground parking garage.

Li Younan parked the car directly in front of the JK Long family's apartment building.

As soon as Li Younan parked the car, the electric lift opened the stairs automatically. He got out of the driver's seat, which immediately attracted the attention of many passersby.

There's no way around it, this car is just too eye-catching.

At this point, the modified "Freedom" reached an astonishing height of 3.6 meters, and its exhaust pipe was the same upward-facing exhaust pipe as Optimus Prime.

Upward-facing exhaust pipes have many advantages: they can keep exhaust gases away from the cab, reduce noise, improve vehicle performance, and shorten the exhaust pipe path to enhance power response.

The entire vehicle is painted in a tan, explosion-proof color. The body is square and upright. Even when the compartment is closed, the door fits the body so tightly that you can't see where the door is. The windows are also closed, giving the impression that this vehicle is extremely hardcore and sturdy.

But the next moment, the nonchalant and composed demeanor Li Younan displayed when getting out of the car vanished.

He had been so comfortable in the driver's seat that he was only wearing a single layer of clothing, and now that he had gotten out of the car, a biting chill hit him...

He obediently went back and put on another piece of clothing.

……

Liu Yu stood at the window, silently watching Li Younan.

The kid got off the bus and smugly showed off for a bit, then got back on, and then got off wearing a jacket.

He paused for a moment, then let out a heavy snort.

Show off what?
Although Li Younan did look rather dashing as he got out of that car...

But is it really necessary to do it twice in a row?

Thinking of this, he glanced at his sister with a hint of helplessness.

The worst fears seemed to have come true; Li Younan had completely captivated his younger sister. Liu Yu sighed and said, "Have you thought this through?"

"Brother, I want to try it."

"But have you thought about it? A man and a woman alone together, what will happen to your reputation if word gets out?"

"Brother, do you not believe me or you don't believe Li Younan?"

Liu Yu felt a momentary sense of collapse when she saw Liu Li ask this question so seriously.

He really wanted to say, "I don't trust either of you," but he held back and said, "This isn't a matter of belief."

Liu Li fell silent. She lowered her head and remained silent for a long time. Then she took a deep breath, looked earnestly at her brother, and slowly asked, "Brother, do you want me to continue like this?"

Liu Yu was speechless.

“Brother, after I got this disease, I knew I had become a burden to you.”

"Actually... I've been feeling really bad. I don't want to keep being a burden to you."

“I tried, I really tried so many times. I wanted to step out of the house, not for myself, but for you…”

"you……"

"Brother, let me finish."

"Before I met Li Younan, there was a time when I really felt that I was finished and that my life might be like this forever."

“In the most difficult and darkest times, I even thought about it... but I can't do that, not for myself, but for you…”

"Later I realized that even though I couldn't go out, I could still help you at home, so I learned video editing and learned a lot of skills and knowledge that could help you."

"But I still hope I can be like a normal person."

"I can't let you support me for the rest of my life."

A look of pain flashed across Liu Yu's eyes.

My sister's words were like a knife to my heart.

"Until I met Li Younan."

"Besides you, he's the only person I'm not afraid to be alone with."

"I think this might be the closest I've ever come to getting out of this situation."

"I'm so happy he put together that RV."

"Brother, you know what... every day I watch him improve that RV little by little in the live stream, and I'm so happy, it's like my own house."

"I can't help but think about what it would be like if I could stay inside..."

At this point, Liu Li's voice weakened, and it began to tremble with a hint of tears.

Liu Yu was startled and looked at his sister, but he didn't dare to look into her eyes.

Liu Li bravely met his gaze and continued, "Brother, actually... it hasn't come to that yet."

Liu Yu was stunned for a moment: "What?"

"What I mean is... it's not that time yet."

She chuckled self-deprecatingly, "Brother, let alone the fact that I'm not even sure if I can walk all the way to his RV by myself..."

A tear glistened in Liu Li's eye. "I'm just a useless piece of trash."

"Li Younan...would he really be willing to take me with him?"

Liu Yu almost blurted out, "Who dares to say you're a piece of trash! Does Li Younan dare refuse to take you along?" However, this thought only lingered in her mind for a moment before she choked back it.

"So... it's not yet time for me to consider whether I'd like to travel with him."

After saying this, Liu Li lowered her head and smiled softly.

Liu Yu stared at her younger sister in silence for a long time.

Finally, he sighed softly, as if all the energy had been drained from his body.

He then laughed self-deprecatingly, though he himself didn't understand why he found it so hard to accept that his sister was going on a campervan trip with Li Younan.

Is it due to societal perceptions?
Obviously not.

My younger sister has almost no social circle, so what impact do other people's opinions have on her?

That was because she was worried that if the two of them were alone together, Li Younan might bully his sister.

Having known Li Younan for so long, he knew very well that Li Younan was not that kind of person.

So what is he worried about? Is it that Li Younan is not good enough for his sister?
That's obviously even more outrageous.

Li Younan is the kind of guy who, whether he wants to admit it or not, is the kind of man who can have countless high-quality girls pounce on him like hungry wolves with just a flick of his finger!

Even someone as confident as him would have to admit defeat in this regard.

So what exactly am I worried about?
What am I rejecting?
If you confront your own heart, it's actually quite easy to find the answer.

He sighed softly and patted his sister's head.

Liu Li raised her head and saw the gentle light in her brother's eyes. She knew that her brother had agreed.

Liu Yu turned her head away and laughed self-deprecatingly: "My little sister whom I've raised for so long... hehe."

He knew very well that he simply didn't want his sister to be taken away by someone else.

In a sense, this feeling is similar to the pain an elderly father feels when his daughter gets married.

"elder brother?"

Liu Li looked at her brother with some worry.

"That guy... he'll be up soon, go change your clothes."

Liu Yu said calmly.
