Before Tang Tang could react, the system spoke in his mind.

【He is ugly! 】

Tang Tang teased the system in his mind, "Didn't you hate this kitten just now?"

【hehe! 】

Tang Tang tilted his head and reached out to cover the dirty little cat's ears, "Good baby, we don't want to listen to such stinky words."

Jiang Ran lowered his eyes and looked at Tang Tang's fair hands covered with dirt, and her exquisite and beautiful manicure was also stained by the dirty cat.

He said, "Where's the servant? Why would I let you hold it?"

Tang Tang shrugged, "I'm afraid it will get stressed."

Jiang Ran and Xiaomao stared at each other for a while, then looked away and said casually, "Let me wash it. It happens that the bathroom is wet, otherwise I would have to use your toilet."

Tang Tang looked at Jiang Ran's dripping black hair and the bathrobe wrapped around him, and hesitated, "Ah?"

She was the one who picked up the cat, so how could she let Jiang Ran, the owner of the cat, wash the cat for her?

Jiang Ran stretched out his hand to catch the cat, but the little orange cat seemed to have really identified Tang Tang, and when Jiang Ran's hands were about to reach out, it started to show its teeth and claws.

Jiang Ran paused for a moment, then looked at Tang Tang.

Tang Tang lowered his head, held the kitten by the back of its neck with one hand, and held its head with the other hand to stop it from struggling. Then he said helplessly, "Come together, can I go in?"

"of course."

Jiang Ran took a few steps back and opened the door to allow Tang Tang to enter his own room.

As soon as Tang Tang entered the room, she could smell the same scent of shower gel as the one on Jiang Ran, a cool pine and cypress wood fragrance that was not heavy.

This was her first time actually... entering a boy's bedroom.

She politely didn't look at it any further, but still couldn't help but take in the entire layout and decoration of the room.

The style of the whole room is very simple. On one wall there are many models and Lego toys, which have been assembled and neatly arranged.

There are guitars, drum sets, and even some outdoor equipment in the corner.

Tang Tang couldn't help but take a look, Jiang Ran followed her gaze and said casually, "Mountain climbing equipment. I liked climbing snowy mountains for a while."

Climb a snowy mountain?

Last time, Tang Tang also liked to watch various life journey videos on Fanqie, as well as some videos about "Conquering a Small Snow Mountain" and "The First Snow Mountain in Life".

She was aroused by Jiang Ran's words. As they walked towards the bathroom, she asked, "Will you have altitude sickness when climbing a snowy mountain? The weather is also very bad."

Jiang Ran nodded, and walked with Tang Tang through the small living room in the room. "Although most people have experience climbing mountains, climbing a snowy mountain is not at the same level of difficulty as climbing a mountain."

"Many times, hiking on snowy mountains is no different from outdoor extreme sports. High altitudes can cause altitude sickness and hypoxia, bad weather can lead to accidental hypothermia, and steep slopes covered with ice and snow can cause you to fall off a cliff if you make a mistake."

"What's more, most of the hiking routes in the snowy mountains are very long. In many cases, it is impossible to retreat immediately if you stop halfway. Moreover, due to the high altitude, it is impossible to have a helicopter search and rescue."

"Even if there are several guides leading the climb, if something really happens and there is no helicopter rescue, when the person is suffocating and unconscious, the so-called rescue is just a few guides dragging the person down the mountain."

It is indeed very difficult.

Tang Tang sighed, "But I feel that conquering the snow-capped mountains is indeed very attractive."

Jiang Ran looked at Tang Tang, and remembered that when he was 20 years old, he had a big fight with his father. After buying the ticket, he signed a life and death agreement and set out to climb Mount Everest without hesitation.

At the age of 18, he climbed Mount Kilimanjaro in just 5 hours.

Of course, after coming down the mountain his knees were worn out and inflamed for about three months.

He liked this feeling. The young man, who was held by countless expectant gazes, seemed to have finally found the rare fluctuations in his life in the extremely cold snowy mountains.

So he began professional training and started climbing one peak after another.

He later conquered Europe's highest peak, Mount Elbrus.

Then we continued to climb and finally challenged the world's sixth highest peak, Cho Oyu.

The altitude of 8201 meters is enough to exhaust everyone.

The same thing happened to Jiang Ran. When the wind was falling quickly, the rocks became loose and the rope fell off, causing him to fall 6 meters in two seconds.

One rib was broken, the right wrist bone was fractured, and there were extensive bruises all over the body.

Without rescue, he managed to get down the mountain alive.

At that time, Jiang Ran was young and despised death. He thought that life should perish in the pursuit of freedom.

If he died on the snowy mountain, he would sleep with the starry sky, the biting cold wind, and the harsh snow.

Until he officially joined the team and met a dark and thin middle-aged man.

No one knew that the middle-aged man had a heart disease.

They stopped at a camp to rest along the way, and then continued climbing at night. Jiang Ran was always silent and not enthusiastic, so he just listened to others talking quietly.

This dark and thin middle-aged man said that he was going to the snow-capped mountains to look for his lover.

This climb was his 16th visit to Mount Everest.

In the previous 15 times, he walked through the violent snowstorm, through the darkness, and over familiar roads, but he never found the body of his lover.

The helicopter could reach C2 at an altitude of 6500 meters, but after his lover and he reached the summit, he accidentally slipped and in just a moment, rolled into the misty clouds.

He didn't have a lot of money, but he sold almost all his savings and hired a business rescue team to find his lover.

But all trained climbers understand that once they are injured or lose contact on the snowy mountains, there is a 99 percent chance of survival.

You might fall into a crack in the glacier, roll down the cliff to the bottom of an unknown mountain, or encounter a small avalanche during the fall, and be buried in a thick layer of snow in just a few seconds.

That was the first time Jiang Ran met this dark and thin man, and also the last time.

As a result, he suffered a heart attack during the climb and died despite rescue efforts.

He died not far from Jiang Ran, about ten meters away.

He was still wearing equipment and was crossing the slope with his crampons on. His face turned red and his lips purple from being in a hanging position.

Although the ice and snow were howling, Jiang Ran seemed to hear the man's struggling breathing. The heavy breath seemed to rush out from inside his body, trying to struggle out.

But it was no use, he died there anyway.

There wasn't even a rescue team. Jiang Ran and his team finally took out a reflective black sleeping bag and put him in it.

He stiffened quickly, with only his feet exposed outside the sleeping bag.

It might take others a year to prepare to climb Everest, so it is impossible for them to stop for him.

So after giving the dark and thin man the final respect, everyone continued to walk upwards against the wind and snow.
