Fire Chief vs. Surgeon: A Tale of Relentless Pursuit-Chapter 708: Time is Life

After some hustling, breakfast was finally ready.

In the bedroom, Lu Jing had actually been awake for a while, just a bit too snug in bed.

Who’d want to get out of a warm bed in winter, after all?

If he didn’t have to go to work, he really could stay in bed all day.

The more he thought about it, the less he wanted to get up. Suddenly, he pulled the blanket over his head, indulging in a momentary self-deception.

Jiang Ye had been standing at the door at some point, and naturally, he had seen everything.

He couldn’t help but let out a ’pfft’ of laughter.

That laughter wasn’t contained at all, clear as day to the person under the blankets.

"Whoosh!" The blanket was flung off.

"What’s so funny?" He questioned.

Ahem.

Suddenly chickened out:

"Me? Laughing? Who said I laughed?"

Damn, lying through his teeth, huh?

Lu Jing glared:

"No? So what, was it the pigs laughing just now?"

Pigs?

Ever seen a pig as handsome as this?

Ptui, ptui, ptui. Why the heck am I admitting to it anyway?

Jiang Ye’s mouth twitched a few times before he swiftly changed the subject:

"Breakfast is ready. Come eat, Queen."

Queen?

Lu Jing was covered in goosebumps:

"Scram!"

Jiang Ye let out a suppressed chuckle:

"You sure you want your man to scram?" he countered.

Lu Jing casually shot back:

"Sure. Scram quickly."

First thing in the morning, he really didn’t want to curse someone out.

Besides, there was the prenatal education to consider—such an unreliable dad-to-be!

Jiang Ye held back his laughter with some difficulty, scratching his nose twice:

"Fine, as you say, I’ll scram."

Huh?

He’s being obedient?

Lu Jing realized then, there must be some urgent matter to deal with.

He pouted:

"Why the dawdling?"

Tsk tsk.

Indeed, Jiang Ye didn’t dare to delay any longer:

"I need to go downstairs for a bit. Don’t bother cleaning up after breakfast. Just head to work, and I’ll clean up when I’m done."

"Got it."

One had to admit, the man was really thoughtful.

Lu Jing was naturally very pleased, and the corners of his mouth couldn’t help curling up.

Little did he know, he had completely misunderstood just now!

Sure, someone had things to take care of, but it was not work-related—it was personal.

Once downstairs, he saw Lai Xingchen waving from not far away:

"Captain Jiang, over here, over here."

Talking about Lai Xingchen, he had been back with the team for a while and had become much more stable since his return.

As for the thing with Nurse Xiao Tang, he hadn’t brought it up since.

Well, that must be that.

Anyone with a bit of sense wouldn’t bring that up again.

Now, Lai Xingchen was carrying a big bag, bulging and mysterious.

Jiang Ye approached, and the two exchanged a surreptitious glance around:

"Nobody noticed?"

"Rest easy, Captain Jiang, absolutely no one."

Getting called out for a task before dawn, how could anyone have noticed, right?

Jiang Ye hummed in acknowledgment:

"Is the activity room all set up?" He asked again.

Lai Xingchen nodded vigorously:

"Maozi took care of it personally."

Good.

Jiang Ye then curled his lips in satisfaction:

"Let’s go."

Along the way, the two men walked so briskly it was as if there were dogs chasing them.

.....

Of course, Lu Jing had no idea about any of this.

Having finished his breakfast and almost running late, he grabbed his bag and headed downstairs.

He had to marvel again at his good fortune that the hospital was just opposite the fire brigade. Otherwise, who knows how many times he would’ve been late?

Even though there were no written rules about being late for work, it was still frowned upon.

In the field of medicine, precision is key. And as a medical worker, he should be precise too.

At the hospital, time is life!
