Coach Zhong paced back and forth in the yard, rubbing his hands together incessantly.

The winter months of November and December didn't seem so cold to them.

The courtyard was completely silent at night, and the weather was much colder than during the day, but everyone in the martial arts school stood straight and didn't feel the slightest bit of cold.

"You all need to behave well later, understand?"

"If we can successfully become bodyguards for the Zeng family, we'll never have to worry about not eating or sleeping well again."

Coach Zhong muttered to himself, "Tonight is not only the future of these children, but also my future."

He recalled that when the Zeng family came to them some time ago, he even thought it was a scam.

The Zeng family, the richest family in Yongcheng, why would they recruit from a small martial arts school?

But the visitor said that the Zeng family only cared about quality and not about one's background, and then took him to visit the Zeng family, which put his mind at ease.

These children have grown up with great difficulty, and they are willing to follow him because they trust him. He cannot let them down.

"Young Master, Young Madam, over here!"

As the voices rang out, footsteps echoed from afar in the courtyard.

"Quickly, quickly, line up and straighten your clothes!"

Coach Zhong frantically gave instructions, found a spot, and stood up straight, ready to be inspected at any moment.

"Everyone has it, one, two, together."

Just as Tang Min and the others approached the two rows of people, they heard a loud shout.

"good evening!"

It was accompanied by everyone's greetings, which were uniform and deafening.

Zeng Chengjing was so frightened by what he saw that he hid behind Zeng Chengyu and Zeng Chengxue. Only after everyone stopped did he cautiously peek out, staring with his big, dark eyes at the group of people who were still strangers to him.

"Young Master Zeng, Young Madam Zeng, all our people are here."

Coach Zhong, with that obsequious expression that Zeng Chengxue found repulsive, walked up to Tang Min and Zeng Yunchen.

Zeng Yunchen looked at Coach Zhong with a hint of inquiry; no matter how you looked at it, this person seemed a bit unreliable.

"Oh, I see"

However, he trusted Tang Min and believed that the people in the courtyard would not recommend any social scum to Tang Min.

Based solely on his first impression of Coach Zhong, Zeng Yunchen gave a cold reply.

"Well, how about having them greet the young master and young ladies?"

"Um"

To be honest, we still don't know the names of Zeng Chengxue's two friends.

"Okay, let's start from here and everyone introduce themselves one by one."

Hello, my name is Zhong Yi.

My name is Zhong Er.

..................

As everyone began their self-introductions, Tang Min and her group frowned more and more deeply.

Why would you choose such a simple name?

Their self-introductions didn't end until "Zhong Ershi".

Tang Min beckoned and called He Ma aside.

Who named them?

"They say it's the name given by Coach Zhong. He's taken in too many children, and since he's not very educated, he can only call them that for now."

Tang Min touched her nose helplessly.

They really know how to make things easy for themselves.

Zeng Yunchen listened from the side and shook his head helplessly.

No matter how bad you are at naming things, you can't be so perfunctory.

"Um, everything's been introduced."

Coach Zhong couldn't figure out what the Zeng family was thinking, so he could only do whatever they asked. Now that he had finished his self-introduction, he had to ask for instructions again.

"Chengyu, Chengjing, you two go and take a look. Each of you should choose two friends."

Tang Min gave the order from the side, gesturing with her chin in that direction.

Zeng Chengyu saw the figures from the TV among this group of people, and her mother had already told them the purpose of tonight's event.

So after hearing Tang Min's words, he walked towards the crowd without saying a word.

The moment he saw them, he understood why his mother had let them watch the film beforehand.

She wanted the three boys to see them through the eyes of ordinary people and to truly treat them as her friends.

These friends and classmates have simply taken on a mission to protect them.

While Zeng Chengyu was carefully observing the crowd, Zeng Chengjing remained hidden behind the adults, making no move for a long time.

"Sister, have you already made your choice?"

Out of sight, Zeng Chengjing gently tugged at Zeng Chengxue's sleeve and whispered something.

"Um"

Zeng Chengxue's gaze fell on the two children among them, who were her companions with whom she would spend a long time in the future.

"Can I not choose this option?"

"Chengjing! Go quickly!"

Zeng Chengjing's hesitation only prompted Tang Min to urge him on.

He walked out reluctantly, pouting, moving slowly as if afraid of getting any closer to that group of people.

"Chengjing, don't be afraid, they won't hurt you."

Zeng Yunchen silently comforted her from behind.

Cheng Jing is not like his older brother and sister; he is a bit timid. Hopefully, he can choose two good partners.

"I've chosen!"

Over there, Zeng Chengyu pointed at two of them and shouted to Tang Min and the others.

They were two boys, and their demeanor was quite similar to his—introverted and composed.

"Okay, Aunt He, I'll write it down."

"Hey"

Zeng Chengyu glanced at the two of them, then turned back to Tang Min's side.

"Brother, are you fierce?"

Zeng Chengjing's words left everyone somewhat confused, and they all turned to look at Coach Zhong.

"Um, young master means..."

Coach Zhong was also at a loss; this young master seemed to be very afraid of them.

"Oh, it's nothing. I was just asking, brother, are you good at hitting people?"

The boy being pointed at by Zeng Chengjing was momentarily at a loss for words.

He's pretty good at competitions, but he's never hit anyone for no reason.

"This... I'm the best martial artist among this group!"

Not knowing how to answer, he could only use the martial arts school's standard as his response.

"Alright, you're the one!"

To everyone's surprise, Zeng Chengjing chose him without hesitation after hearing the answer.

This surprised him; he had thought he had no chance.

"Yes, I will protect you."

This boy was a little older than Zeng Chengjing. As soon as Zeng Chengjing arrived, his protective instincts surged.

The boy raised his arm, clenched his fist, and made a promise to Zeng Chengjing.

"Hehe, thanks, brother!"

Zeng Chengjing's cheerful demeanor added a touch of warmth to the somber atmosphere.

It also made everyone in the courtyard feel much more relaxed.

"Sister, can you protect me like that big brother did?"

After accepting the boy's promise, Zeng Chengjing headed towards his next target.

"I will"

Unlike the boy, the girl's tone was slightly cold, and she mechanically answered Zeng Chengjing's question.

She also appeared in the video just now.

Zeng Chengjing remembers that she was very good at fighting and could beat others.

This older sister is a bit fierce, though.

Zeng Chengjing hesitated, afraid that he had made the wrong choice.

I will definitely protect you.

Perhaps sensing Zeng Chengjing's fear, the girl bent over and spoke in a much gentler tone.

"really?"

"Ok!"

"Mom, I've made my choice too."

After receiving a positive answer from the girl, Zeng Chengjing skipped back to Tang Min's side.

While waiting, He's mother carefully noted down the three children's choices, ready to discuss the next steps with Coach Zhong after the event.
