It'd be so much better if we used a plane.Lin Ye couldn't help but think that when he saw the off-road vehicle they'd be using for the trip.

Especially since the destination of their trip, Kjerag, is farther than Lungmen. It would take 2 days and 1 night to get there by car. Although Lin Ye does not have motion sickness, the feeling of sitting in a vehicle for an extended period of time would be very uncomfortable. However, no matter how uncomfortable it is, there is nothing he can do since it comes with the job.

The scheduled departure time was 8 o'clock, and when Lin Ye arrived here it was only 7:30.

Since he was half an hour earlier, he thought he would be the earliest one here. So he did not expect that someone had already arrived before he was already doing work.

This someone is a member of the Medical Department... Little Sussurro.

She was currently pushing a cart bigger than her, loaded with medicine provided by the Medical Department.

When Lin Ye came over, she was now trying to move the medicines in the cart to the back compartment of the car. Sussurro was, of course, struggling quite a lot due to her size.

The sight of that reminded Lin Ye of the way ants were delivering food into their nest.

Cute...

As Sussurro was about to place a box of drugs into the vehicle, she stumbled and lost her balance mid-way.

"W-Woah!"

"Look out!"

Luckily, Lin Ye was fast enough to catch both her and the box.

"D-Dr. Lin Ye?"

"Here, let me help you." Lin Ye hurriedly went to assist,

"Don't fall again, okay?" He placed the box of medicines in the back compartment.

Sussurro sat down while panting lightly and thanked Lin Ye.

"Thank you."

Lin Ye looked around them and asked her. "Why didn't you call for others to help you?"

"I was the only one in the medical department," Sussurro said.

Lin Ye says, "If you're early then at least you could've waited for me to help. You're a child."

"I am not a child." Sussurro says calmly, "I'm the same age as you. I think I can lift these medicines alone without the help of my colleagues."

Lin Ye smiled: "Yes, yes, You can. Then while I'm here, allow me to help you."

Perhaps it was because she was used to saying this every day, Sussurro did not refute but admitted "I am really not very good at physical activities."

There are not many medicines, and Sussurro has already moved out most of it, so Lin Ye only had to carry another four or five boxes before it was over.

He looked at Sussurro, who was resting in the back compartment. Lin Ye took out a pack of milk biscuits from his pocket and offered them to Sussurro.

"Do you want to eat some?" Sussurro glances at Lin Ye.

"Could you not treat me as a child?" Sussurro thought for a while. She is indeed a little hungry right now. She nodded. "But if you insist..."

Lin Ye smiles and passes the cookies over to her.

He looked at Sussurro and felt calm around her.

There was a neighbour in his previous that resembled her greatly.

The neighbour was a little boy as tall as Sussurro. He would often sneak into Lin Ye's house during the weekends to see his cats. At that time, Lin Ye would give the little boy pastries and biscuits to snack on.

I wonder how he is now...I hope he at least grows up happy, Lin Ye slowly began to enter into a trance as he delved further into his memories, that was until the sound of Sussurro's biscuits pulled him back to reality. He took a glance at her.

Sussurro's little hands were not much bigger than the milk biscuits. It's really intriguing that Lin Ye wanted to compare the size of his hand with her. But when he remembered the other party's actual age, Lin Ye set aside such thoughts and started to put his own things in the rear compartment.

When Lin Ye was loading the car, Sussurro put down the cookies and sniffed the air. She looked at Lin Ye, and asked, "What's in your bag? What a special smell."

"Uh, ...Tea" Lin Ye coughs twice, "Can you smell them?"

"My sense of smell is very sensitive." Sussurro nods, "It is indeed the smell of herbal plants, but the Kjerag people don't seem to like tea very much. The tea in your pack will probably be useless to you"

Lin Ye pets his backpack and smiles "Who knows."

Sussurro was confused "You always seem so confident"

"No harm in trying," Lin Ye says, "I don't even drink this kind of tea anyway so why not give them to people who might like it."

"You don't drink it, but you still bought it. You sure have money to spare" Sussurro whispered. "It might not be a good gift to bring"

It seems like catnip doesn't affect her, so there is nothing to explain. After all, Lin Ye himself doesn't know why it's cats like it so much anyway

The two waited for about ten more minutes before Matterhorn, Pramanix, and Cliffheart finally arrived,

"Doctor Lin." Matterhorn stretched out his hand to Lin Ye, and said with a smile, "I'm glad you can come to Kjerag with us."

"I'm just doing my job." Lin Ye smiles and shakes hands with him, "And I also wanted to see how beautiful Kjerag is."

"Kjerag will definitely satisfy you." Matterhorn smiled.

Cliffheart couldn't stand it anymore and made a puking noise. "Can you not talk so formally? It's giving me goosebumps just by hearing it..."

Lin Ye and Matterhorn suddenly felt embarrassed and immediately relaxed. Opening his hand, Lin Ye scratched his head:

"If I don't talk like that, I won't know what to say."

"Why don't you know, just say... Wait, hold on" Cliffheart suddenly leaned behind him and sniffed.

Her eyes brighten, "This smell, is it catnip?"

"You can smell it?"

"Mhm." Cliffheart nodded in excitement.

"I hope this would be a good present for the natives of Kjerag."

Pramanix leaned closer to him too and sniffed. She isn't like Cliffheart, so she nodded and smiled at him politely instead.

"Wow, Dr. Lin." Cliffheart rushed towards Lin Ye and gave him a thumbs-up, "That's a good idea, using it like perfume"

"I haven't thought about it that way"

"Is that so? Although you are average, it gives you this sort of pleasing fragrance I like. It's good."

What do you mean average? My appearance? You know when I was a child, I was popular with the aunts and grandmothers over forty years old, and those aunts and grandma said I have to wait for their granddaughter or daughter to grow up first before we can marry! The title of Friend of Middle-aged and Old Women was a curse that was cast onto me at a young age!

Lin Ye spat out in his heart, but he didn't dare to say it to her out loud since it would sound rude.

He could only nod "...I see."

"Do you still have more?" she is eager to try, "Can you give me some?"

"No, no more for you" Lin Ye shakes his head and says firmly, "I have no more besides these."

At this time, Matterhorn, who was walking to the driver's seat, couldn't help but look back at Lin Ye and think that the young Miss and Mistress really liked talking to him.

He didn't know why, he didn't expect that Lin Ye had that charm on others.

He's nothing like my master, the very image of a perfect man!He silently says in his heart.

Ten minutes later, the last member of the team arrives late.

Lappland walked over slowly to the group while rubbing her eyes and yawning. Her hair still had a few blades of grass stuck in them.

Lin Ye couldn't help but comment on her tardiness, "Lappland, you are almost late."

"Late? How will I know if I'm late? There is no clock where I sleep." Lappland says,

Lin Ye couldn't refute her.

"Huh?" Lappland looks around.

"What are you looking for?"

"Texas" Lappland scratches her head, "Could she be later than me?"

"What do you mean?" Lin Ye raises his brow, "Texas is not coming with us"

Lappland's eyes widened.
