Fire Chief vs. Surgeon: A Tale of Relentless Pursuit
Chapter 157 Sweet Punishment

Chapter 157: Chapter 157 Sweet Punishment

He was so embarrassed he felt like he could explode right there and then. With his thin skin, Lu Jing was an easy target for Liu Yuan and the others, who teased and made fun of him mercilessly. You can imagine how he must have felt at the time.

"Are you going to drink next time, huh?"

Lu Jing rolled his eyes:

"You change the subject pretty quickly, don’t you?"

Of course.

Nothing else mattered except for your health, which was of paramount concern to a man at all times.

Jiang Ye cared and was concerned about Lu Jing even more than Lu Jing cared about himself.

"I barely had a few sips, didn’t you finish it all?"

If Lu Jing had known he would be teased over a couple of sips of wine, he would have insisted on not touching it to begin with.

"Listen, if you want a drink, wait until you’ve recovered. Right now, you’re not allowed.

If I catch you again, you’ll be in for it!"

Lu Jing, speechless, pushed the man away:

"Aren’t you going back to work?"

This should be work hours, right?

Who knew, the man just grinned and said:

"Who do you think is in charge of me?"

True, as the captain of the whole squadron, everyone was under your command.

Lu Jing knew he couldn’t win against the person in front of him, so he didn’t bother to argue.

"What? Still mad? Here, hit me, I promise I won’t hit back. Or, however you want to do it?"

At that, Lu Jing was truly tempted:

"Not fight back?" he asked.

"Of course!"

There was no need to think about it, okay?

Lu Jing gave the man in front of him the once-over. He definitely wouldn’t hit him, but there were other ways, right?

"Do push-ups... two hundred of them, I guess!"

One hundred would definitely be too few, but two hundred should be about right.

"Pfft~"

Jiang Ye laughed:

"Silly woman, are you sure just 200 push-ups?"

Truly clueless.

Do you know that every day before bed, he does at least 300 to get a little exercise?

Not to mention the usual training.

So, 200 is really just a drop in the bucket.

Lu Jing, of course, caught the implication in his words, but since she had already said it, she couldn’t change her mind, could she?

"Just 200, get on with it!" she said, trying to be firm.

Right away, the man lay down on the floor, adopting a position that was textbook perfect.

"Lu’er, want to make it a bit more challenging? You could sit on top."

Even with someone on his back, it would be a piece of cake.

This woman, she doesn’t even weigh 100, does she?

Lu Jing had no intention of doing such a thing and shook her head:

"No need!"

Fine.

"Then you count."

With that, he began to do push-ups in earnest.

"One, two, three... wait, slow down a bit."

Does he really need to go that fast?

"Silly wife, do you know our assessment standards?

Normally, the time for each push-up is between 0.5 and 1.5 seconds, so 200 push-ups would take roughly one and a half to five or six minutes, depending on the person’s speed."

What?

push-ups could be finished in just over a minute?

Lu Jing had never seen such a thing, so yes, she was amazed.

Afterward, Captain Jiang demonstrated quite nimbly.

When he finished the 200th push-up without even getting out of breath, just a bit red in the face and a slight sweat on his forehead, it only took one minute and forty-five seconds.

"How’s that?"

Lu Jing’s lips moved, but she made no sound.

What could she say?

She surely couldn’t say it wasn’t good against her honesty, could she?

But to praise him was equally impossible.

More praise and his tail would be wagging to the skies.

Jiang Ye didn’t tease her further but ruffled his hair instead:

"I’ll go take a quick shower."

Lu Jing breathed a sigh of relief:

"Oh." She replied indifferently.

...

While Jiang Ye was showering, Lu Jing received a phone call.

"Hello? Dr. Lin? Yes, I’m Lu Jing."
