Chapter 49 (1/2)

Side Story Three

Master sat inside the principal’s office for three hours He spent three hours explaining to the principal, Mr and Mrs Zhen and Mr and Mrs Gu that he didn’t plan on kidnapping Zhen Lang and Gu Jing

‘I really like Zhen Lang and Gu Jing Their bodies are suitable for training Let me train them and I promise they’ll be chosen to be on the national team,’ master pleaded

Mrs Gu looked at her husband but she didn’t say anything

Mrs Zhen took slow breaths

Mr Zhen secretly winked at Mr Gu ‘It’s good for young children to train their bodies, especially young boys’

Mrs Zhen supressed her anxieties

Mr Zhen patted his wife’s tensed hand and he looked apologetically atis mine and my wife’s only son My wife doesn’t want our son to suffer’

Master heard the finality in Mr Zhen’s tone of voice, and he knew Mr and Mrs Gu’s consent was his last hope ‘I think Gu Jing is a lively girl It’s better if you lettrouble It’s good for her to learn self-defence to protect herself in the future Others can’t bully her and she gets to be on the national team’

Master wanted to carry Zhen Lang and Gu Jing back to his home and train the was off the table But he didn’t want to let go of the chance to at leastwere like buried jade, it’d be a tragedy to waste their potentials

Mrs Gu contehter loved to jus or punching cats One look at her daughter and her heart would feel anxious It’d be good to let hter’s restless energy

Mr Gu gaged his wife’s thoughts for a while ‘Mine and hter likes to be active, but I don’t want to pressure our daughter If our daughter wants to train with you then you have hter doesn’t want to train with you then there’s nothing left to discuss’

Master didn’t receive a definite consent, but there was a shred of hope left He knew Gu Jing loved to fight, and she would agree to train with him

Zhen Lang’s voice outside the principal’s office broke hts

‘They’re fighting!’ Zhen Lang said

Mrs Gu jumped up and she rushed outside ‘Little rabbit, you troubleto knock a hole in your head!’

Everyone else in the principal’s office followed Mrs Gu outside

On the playground, there was a big tear on Gu Jing’s shi+rt, her shi+rt sleeves were torn too, her body was covered in dust, a drip of blood below her nose and she stood in front of Zhen Lang to protect him

Gu Jing wiped her nose with her shi+rt sleeve and she didn’t care about the blood stain on her shi+rt sleeve She looked defiantly at the bigger boys that surrounded her and Zhen Lang ‘Co Coht me’

The seven or eight bigger boys were in aTheir bodies were covered in dust, bruises and scratch marks

‘Little rabbit, you trouble maker!’ Mrs Gu yelled

Gu Jing pouted her lips and she protested ‘They were bullying Zhen Lang!’

The er boys saw the adults they dispersed and ran off in different directions

Gu Jing wanted to chase after theht another round with me If you boys lose then you boys have to promise not to make any more trouble!’

‘Fight your head,’ Mrs Gu said She pulled her daughter’s shi+rt collar to stop her daughter chasing those boys ‘If you fight again then I’ll skin you’

‘Wait,’ Gu Jing said She took off her shi+rt to escape her , held his doll face and she carefully looked at his body to see if he was injured anywhere ‘Are you ok? Did they hit you anywhere?’

Zhen Lang shook his head He gently wiped the blood off Gu Jing’s nose Suddenly he blinked back tears in his eyes

‘You pro said

Zhen Lang quickly blinked several times A tear drop fell down his eyelashes, but he held back his tears like his life depended on it

‘You’re bleeding,’ Zhen Lang said He frowned and he gently rubbed Gu Jing’s cheeks ‘Are you in pain?’

Gu Jing shook her head and she smiled ‘I’m used to it If you were hit then you would feel pain’

Gu Jing licked her teeth and she took out a broken tooth ‘Mum, I broke a tooth’

Gu Jing didn’t care about the blood on her broken tooth and she showed it to her mum

‘Ah!’ Master cried He rushed toward Gu Jing and stood in front of her Her broken tooth broke his heart to death ‘Did those boys hit you? Are you in pain?’

Gu Jing put up her guard ‘Who are you?’

‘Uncle is a highly skilled fighter Do you want to follow ht?’ master said

Gu Jing’s eyes lit up ‘Will it help ?’

‘Of course!’ master said He hit his puffed chest ‘Today you were hit But in the future you can fight against ten people and it won’t be a proble’
