523: Weak

Weak

Jiang Yao gently pushed down on Lin Shunhe's chest. His expression abruptly changed and he coughed violently.1

"Doctor Lin, your body seems to be a little weak."

Almost passing out from the intense coughing, Lin Shunhe still had to listen to Jiang Yao's pretentious remark. He was livid.

"Didn't you learn how to apply appropriate pressure, Doctor Jiang? Are you trying to save or take a life?" Lin Shunhe growled.

"Your body's too weak," Jiang Yao said innocently. "I'm just a petite girl, you know I don't have that much strength. Don't you think you are going overboard with your accusations?"

"That's right, what can a girl like Jiang Yao do? You could not even take the slightest pressure on your body, just how fragile are you?" Chen Feibai spoke up and laughed. 

Since they were at the platoon, he chose not to further embarass Lin Shunhe. However, if they were in Jindo City instead, he would have shared the many juicy stories about Doctor Lin in a heartbeat.

The greatest fear of a man was to be branded a weakling, especially in front of a big crowd.

Chen Feibai's backing was unexpected, but Jiang Yao thought nothing about it. She smiled and nodded. "Yes, you are indeed very weak. Your body needs replenishment, especially at such a young age!"

She then stood up and asked the floor if her demonstration was adequate and invited a few volunteers to apply what they had just learned on stage.

Plenty among the crowd put their hands up excitedly.

She then randomly picked a few and proceeded to give them detailed instructions.

Suspiciously, the soldiers that came up made plenty of mistakes, such as pushing down hard on ambiguous spots on the body. Lin Shunhe almost cried out in pain.

Concerned that they might overdo things, Jiang Yao was attentive throughout the process. Yes, she wanted to teach Lin Shunhe a lesson, but she did not intend to hurt him.

After all, the minor altercation between them did not warrant an injury.

Although, the three guys that came up seemed to know where to put their hands. It did pain Lin Shunhe a lot, but he did not end up with an injury. By the time the last participant was doing the compressions, Jiang Yao understood that they were intentional with their actions.

Afraid of getting called out by Jiang Yao again, Lin Shunhe endured the pain in silence.

By the time Jiang Yao thanked his contribution with a smile on her face, he was shivering on the floor and on the verge of passing out.

"Doctor Lin, don't forget to take some cold medicine, just in case. We wouldn't want you to be sick."

Jiang Yao and Lu Xingzhi pointed out to Lin Shunhe before they left. To others, it was a kind and thoughtful remark, but to Lin Shunhe, it was nothing but cynicism and mockery.

The couple soon forgot about the affair once they returned home. It was in Jiang Yao's nature to resolve a feud promptly. There was no point hanging onto it once the issue had been settled.

Nonetheless, she preferred being direct and aggressive when resolving conflicts, just like the saying that went "an eye for an eye". 

As the couple lay together in bed, Jiang Yao was reminded of the three soldiers that volunteered to be on stage. She asked, "Did you arrange for those three volunteers to come on stage?"
