Chapter 250 Wild Hot Springs in the Mountains

My dream of getting an essential oil back massage won't be fulfilled tonight.

Li Younan had been to a foot massage parlor with her roommate before. It was a very legitimate and green shop, where the technicians were all middle-aged women and a few middle-aged men.

I also experienced having my back massaged with essential oils back then.

But overall, that memory wasn't very pleasant.

Li Younan suspected that the woman's strength was enough to crush a walnut with her bare hands.

While frantically working on Li Younan's back, she asked with a smile, "Young man, does it hurt?"

Li Younan was originally going to answer "it hurts," but just then, the guy next to her grimaced and gave the answer to another middle-aged woman who had asked the same question: "It hurts!"

He was then met with the merciless mockery of the older woman: "Young man, your kidneys... aren't very good."

When it was Li Younan's turn, he said expressionlessly, "It's alright, not very painful."

After he finished speaking, Li Younan immediately felt the force on his waist increase.

But he remained unmoved, even calmly shaking his head slightly, seemingly indifferent.

In the end, the woman started to question the meaning of life.

That day, Li Younan showed off a lot, and his companions thought he was incredibly awesome.

The price he paid was a large bruise on his waist.

In the years that followed, whenever he talked about back massage with essential oils, all he could think of was the excruciating pain and the forced, reluctant endurance he had to maintain in order to uphold his male dignity.

However, who would have thought that if the person massaging from behind were JK Long, or Long Mei, her gentle strength would be just right and it would be very comfortable?

However, he figured he had probably angered Long Mei, so he had to abandon the idea.

Then go to sleep.

Li Younan took the mattress and quilt out of the storage cabinet and laid them out. Only then did Long Mei slowly come out of the bathroom, walk to the side as if nothing had happened, lower the lift bed, and sit on it.

The privacy curtain is drawn.

pretty good.

Li Younan was still savoring the wonderful feeling of Long Mei's slender, slightly cool hands rubbing his back.

If a man and a woman are alone in a room for such a long time, it would seem abnormal for a man not to have any other thoughts.

However, in general, Li Younan is not very good at pursuing girls.

He has had several relationships in his history. Besides Yang Ting, he also had one in high school and one in junior high school. However, including Yang Ting, it was always the girls who took the initiative in the first place. Therefore, Li Younan doesn't actually have much experience in taking the initiative in this regard.

But Li Younan really liked the feeling she was experiencing.

Of course, he couldn't be completely ignorant of his own circumstances like a fool; he knew that he didn't face the problem of lacking women.

If it were merely a pursuit of pleasure and excitement, given his circumstances, he could easily obtain it in many ways.

For many boys, having this kind of advantage is something they can probably brag about.

But compared to the dry satisfaction of physiological needs, Li Younan now feels that it would be better to have a girl he can hold quietly, to feel her breath and body temperature.

As his thoughts drifted, drowsiness overcame Li Younan, and his eyelids grew heavier and heavier. He then heard the faint sound of a girl rustling as she took off her clothes, and his mind began to flash with suggestive images.

I finally fell into a deep sleep.

……

When I woke up in the morning, the sunlight was already streaming in through the cracks in the window.

When Li Younan goes to sleep at night, he doesn't completely close the blackout curtains on the window; he leaves a small gap.

Since there is little light pollution in the wild, using or not using a blackout cloth makes no difference to sleep.

He stretched and then saw Longmei dressed as a cook, frying eggs on an induction cooker indoors.

Noticing that Li Younan was awake, she turned to look at him, smiled, and said softly, "Good morning."

Li Younan blinked. This was the first time that Long Mei had gotten up earlier than him.

They would often say good morning to each other in the morning, but it was usually Li Younan who took the initiative to do so, because every time he finished making breakfast and entered the RV, Longmei was usually brushing her teeth.

Li Younan paused for a moment, then nodded: "Good morning."

It's another sunny day today.

……

It's already April, and a full two weeks have passed since they left Chengdu. Their progress is much slower than most tourists who attempt to hike the 318 National Highway.

They are currently on their last leg of the journey before heading to Tibet. High altitude, lack of oxygen, and magnificent scenery are the main themes of their trip. But in addition to the beautiful scenery, their living conditions are also quite good. Compared to most other people traveling to Tibet, their RV has taken everything into consideration, ensuring that the two of them won't be lonely on the road.

At this point, the journey was still a long way from its end.

The clouds began to gather in the sky, but the sunlight remained intense, and the world was clear and bright.

There was still unmelted snow on the roadside, but the tire tracks on the road had already crushed the snowmelt.

Li Younan drove the car, not in a hurry to head to the next stop.

This is Batang. Thirty minutes west, you'll cross the Jinsha River Bridge and reach the ultimate destination for 318 road trippers... Tibet.

The altitude here is not high, only a little over 2500 meters.

Li Younan was heading in the opposite direction from LS. There were so many hot springs here, with all sorts of wild hot spring clusters along the way.

At this time, there weren't many tourists heading to Tibet, and the roads weren't as crowded as one might expect.

Li Younan's plan for today was to find a wild hot spring and soak in it.

Li Younan has always had a peculiar perspective on hot springs, considering them almost synonymous with "vacation."

In Li Younan's mind, beach sunsets, sunshine, and hot springs are all equally important.

Moreover, now that he has mastered Level 2 swimming skills, he is even more interested in soaking in hot springs.

Li Younan and Long Mei didn't stay in a hotel once during the entire trip; they slept in their car the whole time.

Although all the basic facilities in the car are complete and there are no shortcomings, there are still some other things to look forward to when it comes to taking a shower.

After all, the bathroom space is limited, so it can only be used for showering, and the water for the shower is stored in the car's water tank.

Although reason tells Li Younan that the water stored in the two tanks is more than enough, subconsciously she still tries to use it sparingly, so each shower is more about cleaning than relaxation.

Li Younan's mother, who loves taking baths, often brainwashes him, telling him: "Taking a bath is a very relaxing thing. Whether it's a shower or a bath, you must soak for more than 20 minutes to fully open up the capillaries and pores of your whole body. Only when you feel completely refreshed will you feel comfortable."

After entering Tibet, there will be hot springs of all sizes along the way.

Li Younan couldn't help but think of his mother's brainwashing.

Soaking in hot springs is really that comfortable... so why not find one and give it a try?
He parked the car at the entrance of a ravine.

The road leading further in is very difficult for cars to drive on.

Li Younan had previously looked up some travel guides and researched the distribution of geothermal resources in this area. He believed that there was a high probability of finding a wild hot spring by entering this unnamed ravine.

However, before that, we need to leave Longmei in the car for now.

Li Younan didn't bring anything else, just a pair of hiking boots, and set off alone into the ravine.

There are no signs of development in this ravine; after walking for about ten minutes, it becomes a completely undeveloped path.

For Li Younan, climbing a mountain of this magnitude was naturally no problem at all.

Soon after, he noticed that there seemed to be mist rising from the distant mountains, and he was immediately delighted—geothermal heat combined with mountain springs would make a hot spring.

Li Younan continued walking in the direction of the rising mist and soon encountered several cliffs that required climbing to reach. They weren't very high, and Li Younan climbed up them quickly without much hesitation.

Looking left and right, this place is indeed not a place that ordinary people can reach, which ensures that the wild hot springs here are truly "wild".

Li Younan continued walking forward. Due to the geothermal heat, the vegetation here was relatively sparse, so there weren't many shrubs to cross, which made it easier for Li Younan to walk uphill.

About 20 minutes later, Li Younan finally arrived at the place where he had seen the mist earlier, and his face lit up with joy—it was a hot spring that gushed down from a crevice in the cliff, and the water temperature was very high; you could feel the heat even standing at the outlet.

Li Younan conservatively estimated that this was definitely hot enough to boil an egg; soaking it directly in this water would be tantamount to suicide.

Li Younan's gaze followed the hot spring stream downwards, where the water flowed directly from the rock wall in another direction. He then continued to explore downwards along the water's flow.

The deeper you go, the lower the water temperature becomes.

After walking only a few dozen meters, the hot spring stream rushed down a rock wall and flowed into a pool.

Li Younan stood above the pool. The pool was about ten square meters in size and about 1.3 to 1.4 meters deep. It was surrounded by stone walls and there were no paths around it, so it would be difficult for an ordinary person to find this place.

Li Younan found a path leading to the pool and arrived at its edge. He then reached down into the pool to test the temperature and was pleasantly surprised – the water was about 40 degrees Celsius, perfect for a bath.

Li Younan was overjoyed to have found the hot spring so easily.

But then he encountered a problem. For him, getting to this place was very easy, but it would be troublesome for Long Mei to climb up.

After all, this place offers a lot of privacy, and Li Younan really hoped that Long Mei could come and try it out too.

He thought for a moment, his eyes flickered, and then he turned and went back.
