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 at master. ‘But I’m sorry, Zhen Lang is 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 let me train her than let her run around wild and causing trouble. 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 them. He looked at Mrs Zhen’s resolute face and he knew Zhen Lang was off the table. But he didn’t want to let go of the chance to at least make Gu Jing his pupil. Zhen Lang and Gu Jing were like buried jade, it’d be a tragedy to waste their potentials.
Mrs Gu contemplated about master’s words. She knew her daughter loved to jump up and down all day, whether chasing chickens, kicking dogs or punching cats. One look at her daughter and her heart would feel anxious. It’d be good to let master train her daughter and take away some of her daughter’s restless energy.
Mr Gu gaged his wife’s thoughts for a while. ‘Mine and my wife’s daughter likes to be active, but I don’t want to pressure our daughter. If our daughter wants to train with you then you have my permission to train her. If our daughter 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 master’s hopeful thoughts.
‘They’re fighting!’ Zhen Lang said.
Mrs Gu jumped up and she rushed outside. ‘Little rabbit, you trouble maker! I’m going to 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 shirt, her shirt 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 shirt sleeve and she didn’t care about the blood stain on her shirt sleeve. She looked defiantly at the bigger boys that surrounded her and Zhen Lang. ‘Come here, how dare you bully Zhen Lang. Come here and continue to fight me.’
The seven or eight bigger boys were in a more pitiful state than Gu Jing. Their 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 moment the bigger boys saw the adults they dispersed and ran off in different directions.
Gu Jing wanted to chase after them. ‘Don’t run away! Fight 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 shirt 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 shirt to escape her mum’s grip. She ran to Zhen Lang, 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 promised me you wouldn’t cry anymore,’ Gu Jing 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 master and learn how to fight?’ master said.
Gu Jing’s eyes lit up. ‘Will it help me to protect Zhen Lang?’
‘Of course!’
