Leisurely Traveler with Check-in System

Li Younan laughed heartily, "No need, no need, you can just take them."

The discussion about Thangka painting art lasted for about two or three hours.

For Li Younan, having skills but no one to communicate with was quite boring.

Dawa Dunzhu had been immersed in Thangka painting for decades and naturally understood the painting techniques of various schools. He could gain some highly beneficial inspiration from Li Younan’s few words.

Li Younan was already at the pinnacle. Although he couldn’t get any inspiration from Dawa Dunzhu, being a teacher to someone else was quite satisfying.

As it was getting late, Li Younan offered the two of them some tea.

Dawa Dunzhu picked up those few paintings and left with Jiatuo.

When Li Younan’s RV disappeared from view, Dawa Dunzhu said, "Jiatuo, stop for a moment."

He got out of the car, carefully examined the few paintings Li Younan gave, and sighed, "This trip was truly worthwhile."

Jiatuo asked curiously, "Is that young man’s painting very good?"

Dawa Dunzhu laughed heartily, "Jiatuo, even if you don’t understand paintings, you should be able to see that, right?"

Jiatuo, somewhat embarrassed, said, "Is it better than yours?"

Dawa Dunzhu’s expression became serious, "This Li, although young, is an honorary expert professor at the Forbidden City! From today’s talk with him, I realized how high the level of the masters in the capital is. Compared to him, the difference is like that between a butter lamp and the moon in the sky."

"You’re really lucky to have become friends with such a young master."

Jiatuo looked surprised, nodded silently, and said no more.

The two of them got back on their motorcycles and set off again.

...

After dinner, Li Younan lay somewhat bored on the sofa bed, took a short nap, then sat up and glanced at Liu Li, who was editing the footage recorded during the day.

When Liu Li was focused on her work, Li Younan wouldn’t disturb her.

Feeling really bored, Li Younan turned on the gaming console, and played a couple of rounds of "The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword."

Compared to level-based games, this kind of open exploration game is more suitable for leisure; when bored, you can play a couple of rounds, and you can pick it up and continue from anywhere.

He tried to build a mech warrior in the game, which moved like someone with Parkinson’s disease, and found it very amusing, so he wanted to share it with Liu Li.

However, looking at Liu Li again, she had finished editing videos and was wearing a headset, writing and drawing with a notebook while watching some online course.

Li Younan showed a puzzled expression, put down the controller, and slowly wandered over, standing behind Liu Li watching for a while, only to see that Liu Li was watching a Tibetan language course.

Li Younan found it somewhat amusing and seized the moment when Liu Li put down her headphones to rest, and suddenly asked, "Are you really planning to seriously study the Tibetan language?"

Liu Li turned her head, "You scared me for a moment."

"It seems those kids gave you quite an enlightenment."

"No, that’s not it."

Liu Li sighed slightly, but her expression became somewhat serious, a seriousness that Li Younan seldom saw on Liu Li’s face.

Liu Li paused the video, put down the headset, turned her ergonomic chair to face Li Younan, resting one hand on her chin, and with a thoughtful expression, she thought for a while before speaking slowly, "Li Younan, I am quite confused at the moment."

Li Younan raised an eyebrow slightly, casually walked over to pour two glasses of water, handing one to Liu Li.

"Mm."

Liu Li took the glass, sipped a bit, and continued, "In the past, when I was always at home, life was very simple, being confined in that small place every day, it sounded quite painful, but in fact, once you get used to it, it wasn’t so bad."

"Later, I had a goal, which was to try to get myself better."

"In this process, in order not to be too useless, and also hoping to be of some help to my brother, I started learning editing on my own, watching many courses online."

"In short, although life was monotonous, it wasn’t that boring, it had a purpose."

"Later," Liu Li said, looking up at Li Younan briefly before averting her gaze, "after meeting you, the desire to get out of the house became stronger and stronger."

"Anyway, after experiencing many things, you were a part of it... You know, so I won’t elaborate."

"I really did come out, standing in this place, at an altitude of nearly four thousand meters, with beautiful lake views, opening the window to a picture-like scene... I can also interact with normal people now."

"Although dealing with those adults still makes me nervous, I can be sure that this is just social anxiety."

"Mm."

Li Younan took a sip of water.

Liu Li took a deep breath, smiled softly, though with a bit of bewilderment in her smile, "I am now a complete, happy person... but suddenly, it seems I have lost the focus of my life."

She looked up at Li Younan, "Can you understand that feeling?"

"I can kind of understand."

"Actually, at my age, my peers should still be in college. Those middle school classmates I have almost no contact with now, but I know a large part of them are enjoying their college life."

"I didn’t attend college, not even high school. Actually, sometimes when facing you, I still feel... inferior."

"So... I try hard to learn editing skills, watch many excellent works, and try to keep up with your pace."
