The pinned video is of a traditional hundred-pound bow shooting through a metal plate 30 meters away, which caught Li Younan’s attention.

He continued to browse, and in the time he read the comments, dozens of new ones had appeared.

Li Younan refreshed the page and saw a comment with a lot of likes at the top: "Without you in ’Alone in the Wilderness’, I don’t acknowledge it."

Seeing this comment, Li Younan smiled to himself; he’s also watched ’Alone in the Wilderness’ before.

Honestly, watching others live alone in the wilderness is quite a stress-reliever, like watching a real-life Robinson Crusoe adventure.

Sometimes while watching, Li Younan can’t help but wonder how he would perform in such an environment.

But it’s just a passing thought because he feels his skills aren’t quite there yet.

Participating in such a show, for him, surviving is easy; but if Li Younan were to compete, he’d want to do it with a vacation mindset, ensuring the whole process was leisurely.

The ideal scenario would be others struggling and starving for food, while he enjoys a period of detachment from society in leisurely wilderness living.

Achieving this isn’t easy, and Li Younan currently doesn’t feel confident enough to throw himself into such a situation without a foolproof plan.

However, as he gains more skills, maybe one day this show would seem like playing house to him... then going with a travel mindset wouldn’t be out of the question.

After indulging in such idle thoughts for quite some time, he finally started to feel sleepy.

Before he fell asleep, he received a message from Lan Yiyi, reminding him not to forget about the horse in his spare time.

A night passed.

Today marks the near end of this photogenic trip. Originally there was a whole day planned, but it was evident that both Huang Xiaoyang and Dan Dan were feeling tired.

Recalling the novelty felt upon first arriving at the Hulun Bei’er Grassland, now the fatigue of aesthetics set in, in just a few days.

Li Younan couldn’t help but find it amusing.

Compared to them, Li Younan felt okay; as long as he slept, his energy, including aesthetic capability, felt restored.

The driving was still done by Li Younan; the first two days, Huang Xiaoyang would suggest switching, but today, he didn’t even bother pretending, dozing off shortly after boarding.

Thanks to the car’s excellent chassis performance, occasional bumpy roads didn’t wake the two of them.

Upon waking, Li Younan thoughtfully took pictures of their unflattering sleeping postures, sending them to Huang Xiaoyang’s WeChat for them to reminisce.

Today’s destination is Manzhouli, and there are quite a few nice scenic spots along the way, with lots of charm.

Li Younan still toured with a laid-back appreciation mindset, generally feeling quite good.

Meanwhile, Huang Xiaoyang and Dan Dan had fallen into a cycle of sleeping in the car and taking pictures outside.

It wasn’t until lunch that Huang Xiaoyang casually checked his phone and was invigorated upon seeing the "beautiful photos" taken by Li Younan.

Unexpectedly, Huang Xiaoyang didn’t react emotionally, instead interestingly showing them to Dan Dan, saying, "Look at you while you were asleep."

Dan Dan kept saying "annoying," then coyly admired them on Huang Xiaoyang’s phone, saying, "Without my supervision, your sleeping face is quite cute."

Suddenly, the two were off in their own world, leaving Li Younan opposite feeling a bit complex.

He took a sip of water from the table and gazed out the window.

Haha.

...

On the fifth day, this fairly decent trip came to an end.

Huang Xiaoyang didn’t mention thanks, nor did he bring up the promise of gifting Li Younan a car as a reward.

The hesitant demeanor appeared but ultimately said nothing.

Huang Xiaoyang and Li Younan weren’t on the same flight; the couple sent Li Younan off on his flight back to Chengdu, and then they headed for their flight to Zhejiang.

Arriving in Chengdu in the afternoon, Li Younan didn’t linger, heading straight home.

It was already evening when he got home.

Guests were visiting at home.

...

With his mother’s personality, undoubtedly, she should be the type with good relations whether during her student years or later in work units.

Li Younan inherited this trait and has had many people surrounding him at each age stage.

Among his mother’s many good friends, one who often visited was the aunt who traveled with them to Jiuzhaigou before.

But aside from that aunt, among those close to his mother, Li Younan’s favorite was another aunt.

This aunt’s surname is Zhao; she’s educated and polite, wearing frameless glasses, speaking calmly and intellectually like his mother.

The guest today is Aunt Zhao.

His mother’s friends often come to visit, which makes Li Younan happy; after all, he hasn’t been home for a while, and with friends visiting, he feels glad for his mother not being home alone.
