Leisurely Traveler with Check-in System

Chapter 302 - 133: Going Home: New Year’s Little Happiness

Finding out it was actually Li Younan who took the photos, he shamelessly pestered Li Younan to take more photos of him. Such a guy with no limits...

At this time, Lan Yiyi leisurely took out the photos she had developed long ago and handed them to Xiaowang.

During this period of time, everyone’s understanding of Li Younan gradually deepened, and the labels on him grew more numerous.

Xiaowang nodded at Lan Yiyi with feigned seriousness and said, "Brother Li is a mysterious man. He can do this and that, and you never know when he’ll show another unexpected skill that will surprise you."

Lan Yiyi responded with a peculiar smile, "Isn’t that right... Except for his acting skills which are a bit lacking, every skill he has is amazing."

But Xiaowang said, "But it seems Brother Li is most satisfied with his acting skills."

Lan Yiyi was taken aback, showing a complex smile on her face... It seemed to be true.

After some time passed, the short web series they created unexpectedly became popular, yet unexpectedly not.

The expectation was because, from the start, everyone mysteriously had confidence in this well-produced series, especially with the stunt choreography, real horse riding, and archery. The show was filled with thrilling moments from the start, attracting both male and female viewers, so its popularity seemed inevitable.

The unexpected part was the level of its popularity, which left people dumbfounded.

Because the videos were sent out for free, the likes on Li Younan’s homepage for this series exceeded a million.

This, of course, brought a massive wave of fans for Li Younan. His fan count visibly increased by nearly a million.

However, quite a few of these fans were simply drawn to the web series, with many commenting on when the second season would be released.

Li Younan couldn’t respond to this. Given the current team, most crucially, Chen Rui had returned to school, it’s uncertain when they could shoot the second season.

And after a while, some fans realized that Li Younan wasn’t a streamer dedicated to web series, and they unfollowed.

Of course, the number of fans doing so wasn’t large, and ultimately, Li Younan’s followers stabilized at 2.8 million.

Without a doubt, this already constituted a true big streamer following.

The web series, though the plot was somewhat mindless, many parts couldn’t withstand scrutiny, but for a web series, it’s all about leaving your brain behind and purely enjoying the process.

From this perspective, the series was indeed quite satisfying.

Li Younan also abandoned basic logic, carefully watched it once, and felt even more satisfied with his acting.

The martial arts scenes and swordplay shots didn’t concern Li Younan; in his eyes, those lacked substance.

The few scenes interacting with the female lead truly showcased his superb acting skills. Even without much dialogue, a mere glance or an inadvertent micro-expression revealed the character’s inner feelings.

Sometimes, he couldn’t help but think he indeed had a knack for this; achieving this level without systematic training was indeed remarkable. There was no need to belittle himself on this point...

As for the occasional sparse comments like, "The whole series is quite good, except the male lead’s acting is rather awful... Well, never mind, given his looks, let’s not nitpick,"

Li Younan just ignored them.

Bad reviews, do not read.

They don’t understand the intense emotions beneath his calm facade, like a volcanic eruption.

A joyful and leisurely life was still reaching its end.

In mid-December, with the weather already very cold, Li Younan needed to go back to prepare for family New Year matters.

That day, when Lan Yiyi was leading Little White Cabbage and called for Li Younan, he casually mentioned his plan to leave.

Lan Yiyi was momentarily stunned, then quickly came to her senses, "Oh, so soon..."

Li Younan nodded and said, "I’ve been here quite a while. Thanks for your hospitality during this time."

"No need to mention thanks..."

"Every little thing counts. This trip was really enjoyable, I suggest you consider getting a driver’s license. Next time I visit you, you can drive to pick me up. And remember to take care of little Shengjiang... though it’s mine, I’ll have to rely on you to take care of it in the end..."

Originally, Lan Yiyi had a bit of a downcast mood, but upon hearing this, her spirits lifted a bit. She looked up with a brighter gaze and nodded repeatedly, "No need for your reminder, I already know."

She lowered her head, and the wind lightly stirred her coat, her scarf fluttering gently in front of her neck. Lan Yiyi said, "See you next time then. I was originally going to teach you how to wrestle. Come over in June, and I’ll take you to the Nadamu Festival!"

"Of course," Li Younan replied.

Before leaving, Li Younan said goodbye to little Shengjiang.

This little creature seemed to sense that Li Younan was leaving and showed surprisingly strong reluctance.

Most peculiarly, just as Li Younan was about to leave, little Shengjiang grabbed his pant leg and suddenly knelt down... leaving Li Younan momentarily stunned.

He patted the head of the little one, which wasn’t all that small anymore, comforting it, "Grow up quickly, kid. In the future, I’ll buy a big truck and convert it into a camper. I’ll set up a little horse room for you inside, so when we travel west, I can always bring you along."
