Leisurely Traveler with Check-in System

Chapter 203 - 109: Helping Hand: The Woman Driving a Ford Mustang



The girl blinked her eyes, "Is there a problem?"

Li Younan said, "No, your handling is very correct. But fortunately, it must be a false alarm."

Li Younan tapped on the condenser fluid reservoir and said, "The level of the condenser fluid hasn’t dropped at all, and the water temperature is normal."

While speaking, Li Younan walked to the driver’s seat, glanced at the temperature gauge, then returned and said, "This malfunction might be because the float inside the condenser fluid tank is broken, not detecting the correct fluid level."

The girl blinked her eyes again, hesitated, and asked, "Really?"

Li Younan smiled, "Don’t worry, you can safely drive directly to the repair shop and let the mechanic fix the float inside for you."

The girl frowned and took another look herself.

Unfortunately, she could not see any issue.

At this point, trusting Li Younan seemed to be the only option.

But the girl was a very straightforward person. She took a deep breath, then closed the hood with a snap, quickly turned her head, and with a toss of her short hair, looked at Li Younan, "I can trust you, right?"

Li Younan thought for a moment and said, "You could do this instead: just follow my car, and I’ll drive slower. If you’re worried about anything happening, I can help you right away, but I doubt that’s necessary."

The girl shook her head, "If I choose to trust you, that’s my own judgment. I can’t make you bear the responsibility if my trust ends up being misplaced. If something really goes wrong, it’s just my bad luck for misjudging, can’t blame you."

Li Younan was a bit surprised; the girl’s logic was, well, quite interesting.

The girl removed her leather gloves, "But still, thank you. I’m Ma Jing, and you?"

"Li Younan."

Ma Jing reached out her hand, "Nice to meet you."

Seeing this gesture from Ma Jing, Li Younan was momentarily taken aback.

Then Ma Jing frowned slightly, "Is shaking hands hard to understand?"

Li Younan laughed silently, shook her hand, "Just didn’t expect it."

Ma Jing asked curiously, "Are you planning to go to Songpan?"

Li Younan shook his head, "Not going to Songpan. I’ll head to Ruoergai from Chuanshu Temple."

"Going to Ruoergai, what a coincidence. I’m headed to Ruoergai too," Ma Jing said.

Li Younan looked around and asked, "Are you traveling alone?"

Ma Jing nodded, "Yes."

She invited Li Younan over to see her car.

The car’s rear end was as striking as the front, with a spare tire that was also a full-sized all-terrain tire, specifically the BFGoodrich KO3 which had just been released recently.

Opening the tailgate, the inside had undergone a complete renovation.

What surprised Li Younan was that there was a small bed created by folding down the rear seats.

The trunk had an extension rack, camping lights hanging up, and some miscellaneous camping equipment.

Obviously, these modifications were custom-made from a shop; achieving perfect fit was impossible compared to the seamless custom carpentry of Li Younan’s camper setup.

Li Younan nodded, "It looks nice. Are you traveling alone?"

Ma Jing nodded and added, "Not entirely alone. Sometimes I join groups to explore certain routes."

She noticed that Li Younan’s car also had some modifications, so she curiously asked, "Are you also an enthusiast?"

Li Younan hesitated, technically, he and Ma Jing weren’t quite in the same league yet. Despite owning an off-road vehicle, he hadn’t formally ventured onto off-road routes, whether by crossing or other means.

Still, he nodded, "Yes, I like traveling around too."

Ma Jing asked, "Can I see your car?"

Li Younan nodded, "Sure."

He led Ma Jing over to see his car. Ma Jing noticed a vehicle-mounted radio on his dashboard.

She asked, surprised, "What’s the power of this radio?"

Li Younan said, "Not very powerful, about 50 watts."

Ma Jing frowned, "At least a Class B license is required to operate something with such power; do you have one?"

This time, Li Younan was genuinely surprised, "You know about radio operation licenses as well?"

Ma Jing nodded, "Once when I went on an expedition, there was a guy in the team who was into radios. Though we didn’t run into any trouble on that trip, and we did bring a satellite phone, it was comforting to have a radio that could keep in touch with the outside world at any time. It’s a pity that it’s too hard to earn, otherwise, I’d want one too. I didn’t expect to meet someone with a Class B license."

Li Younan found this amusing; in Ma Jing’s eyes, having a Class B license made someone impressive, and if she knew he had a Class C, who knew how she’d react.

At this moment, hearing the conversation between Li Younan and Ma Jing, Zhao Ruoxuan’s eyes sparkled with even more admiration... Li Younan big brother is really an amazing person...

Then, Li Younan also opened the trunk to show Ma Jing.

Noticing the custom drawer bed, Ma Jing showed surprise and tapped on the wooden board, admiring, "This is done really well. Which manufacturer customized it? Can you recommend it?"

Li Younan shook his head, "I made this myself."

Ma Jing expressed surprise, "You made it yourself?"

After surveying it, Ma Jing seemed impressed, "The trunk remodel is really well done."

But she then added with a slight tease, "It’s just that your car’s tires haven’t been modified; not great for rough roads, easier to get a flat."

Li Younan thought to himself, having not ventured on rough roads yet. If he were to go on an expedition, he’d definitely switch to off-road tires.
