"…"
The best man patted his chest and said, "What's the big deal about push-ups? Master Gu, don't worry at all and just take your pick. We can complete a hundred push-ups in a jiffy."
As soon as he had spoken, the person behind the door said unhurriedly, "I don't mean 100 push-ups shared among everyone. I mean every one of you has to do 100 push-ups."
"…"
Everyone fell silent.
"Isn't that just a tad harsh!"
"Exactly! How can we pick the correct one at the first go, given there are 10?"
The bridesmaid in the room replied disapprovingly, "I just heard someone comment that push-ups are nothing."
Everyone fell silent again.
"So be it then."
It's not like they couldn't do it. Gu Jinglian picked a ribbon and tugged at it. He could hear sniggers coming from behind the door.
"Wrong, wrong! One hundred push-ups."
"A hundred push-ups is too much of a waste of time. Fifty, fifty is more efficient."
