In modern times, humans are no longer the primates of the earth. Pandas enjoy the offerings of people all over the world. The brains of whales and dolphins are larger than those of humans. Chimpanzees have memory abilities and parrots have language talents that are no less than those of humans. The immortal jellyfish is immortal. And there are cats living in a superior position. Humans can only be cat owners.

This theory is certainly not universally accepted, but it does explain why Teacher Monkey is so powerful.

So if possible, Jing hopes that the children in the class won't pay too much attention to him, and will just treat him as a mascot placed here.

However, things often don't go as planned. He became one of the three most popular figures in the Peach Class (tentative). Generally, the three criteria for selecting talents in ancient times are reputation, talent, and appearance; in this case, appearance is simply the most attractive.

During free playtime, the kids always come over.

"Jingjun, let's play house at the bar~. You're a CEO who's fed up with the arranged marriage, and I'm a cute and charming new career woman... Ah~!"

"No, Jingjun, dance with me."

"Jingjun, come play! Let's play hide-and-seek together, okay?"

"What's the point of all that? The boys are still here to play soccer, as expected," Haruhara Yotsuba said, squeezing in.

"Boys, get out of the way!" The girls collectively erupted, pushing all the boys away, who then rolled back to the corner of the wall.

"Hmph. Let's go outside and play." Miyazawa Emma, ​​who disliked Qin Jing, snorted and walked outside.

"Oh, Big Sister!" The large group of boys followed and walked out.

Seeing that Emma Miyazawa had left, the girls around Shizuka became even more uninhibited, and their voices became louder, chattering like a flock of birds arguing.

Just then, someone walked over.

"Greetings, everyone. May I bother you for a moment?"

"What? Rin-chan?" the girls asked, turning around.

The girl who stepped forward was named Yuan Lin. She had black twin ponytails, bright, sparkling eyes, and a clever, cute demeanor with a touch of playfulness. Yet, her every word and action gave off the air of a wealthy heiress. She was the class's most talented and intelligent student, known as the 'class monitor'.

She wasn't interested in Qin Jing; she simply followed her father's teachings and always pursued elegance. And to maintain elegance, overwhelming excellence was a necessary prerequisite.

Being the perfect young lady trusted and admired by all her classmates was the first step she was pursuing. However, on her very first day of school, she faced a test, with two hurdles standing in her way.

Although she is the class monitor and is multi-talented, excelling in both academics and martial arts. In terms of academics, she can recite poems and play the piano; in terms of martial arts, she is learning Bajiquan from Master Li, who came from China to run a martial arts school. She is like one of the kids in the class; even if ten of them came, they wouldn't be able to get close to her.

However, Emma Miyazawa was an exception; she was already in the realm of superhumans. Yuan Lin personally witnessed Emma Miyazawa defeat a group of delinquent elementary school students with her instincts, without using any skills or effort.

In terms of prestige, Rin knew she couldn't compete with the big sister, Emma Miyazawa, whose influence was already expanding into other classes.

On the other side is Qin Jing, who has been the center of attention since the start of the semester. She must find a way to turn that popularity onto herself.

This was the first time Xiao Lin had seen Qin Jing so closely, and she was so captivated that she shook her head repeatedly.

She thought to herself, 'I'm not that kind of shallow little girl. Just looking at me... well... I am indeed very, very special... not pretty at all!'

What's going on?! That glossy black hair, those eyes that seem to draw you in, that mysterious aura that piques your curiosity, and on top of that, a cultured literature major! Carrying a book with you—is it to show you're different? Different from other guys? You don't need to bring one, you're already way above average!

No, this is dangerous! This is magic! Could it be some kind of curse? Like a mole near the corner of the eye or something?

Yuan Lin, the girl with twin ponytails, quickly adjusted, after all, she was an elegant young lady with both talent and beauty.

She will never succumb to temptation!

My father said that I should always maintain elegance.

My mother also said that women should rely on themselves more. If they depend on men for everything and don't take the initiative, they may end up in a miserable state.

The younger sister was a bit timid, but Xiaolin knew that her sister possessed amazing inner strength, she just wasn't good at showing it. So, as the older sister, she had to set a good example.

"Sorry everyone, Jingjun, you wanted to read, right?" Xiaolin thought to herself that she was indeed incredibly clever; this way of speaking would definitely increase her popularity. She'd read in a TV drama that men were responsible for conquering the world, while women were responsible for conquering men. She wasn't particularly interested in conquering immature boys, but conquering a kindergarten was a completely different story.

A considerate woman is more likely to capture a man's heart. A woman who is admired and trusted by popular guys will undoubtedly become the center of attention for all girls. In other words, I will become the queen of the school. I, Rin, am so clever that I am practically a disciple of Zhuge Liang!

'Hmph... Just wash your necks and wait! I'll definitely trample you under my feet!' Rin glanced at Shizuka, then looked at Emma Miyazawa. She was destined to become the supreme queen of the kindergarten.

"Uh... but I still want to play house with Jingjun." Some girls were still hesitant and reluctant to part.

"Alright, alright, Jingjun wants to read, let's go play over there." Xiaolin pushed the other girls away to other places.

"So, even a naughty kid can be understanding after all. We're all good kids. That makes sense, I can live here peacefully." She sat down quietly, opened her book, and flashed a genuine, bright smile at everyone. "Thank you all!"

"Ah ah ah..."

"She's simply an angel!!!"

"It's probably best not to bother Jingjun after all!"

Among the girls who gathered around, one girl's face turned red, and blood kept dripping from her nose onto the ground.

"Hana-chan! Hanako!! Your nose is bleeding!!!"

"Oh no! What should we do?" The girls scattered in fear, not knowing what to do.

Hanako herself stood frozen in place, staring at the blood dripping onto the ground.

Qin Jing quickly stood up and said, "Washbasin! Take the flower sauce to the washbasin!"

Yuan Lin cried out in alarm, "Teacher! Teacher!! Someone quickly go and call the teacher from the next class!"

"I'll go get the teacher!" Hearing the call, Emma Miyazawa, who had run back, saw the situation and rushed out again.

"Wow! Blood is gushing out of the sink like a tap!" The children inside and outside the classroom were terrified by the sight; some ran around, while others screamed.

"Calm down, everyone!" Yuan Lin tried to calm the other children down, but the panicked children who were running around and shouting wouldn't listen to him at all.

"Everyone, make way, let me handle this," Qin Jing called to the panicked children, carrying a chair to the sink.

Qin Jing frowned. Honestly, that monkey teacher was nowhere to be found at such a crucial moment! If it weren't for him, the children would probably be in complete chaos right now.

Children are very delicate and have poor body management skills. They often bump and bruise themselves, and their immune systems are not strong, so they easily catch colds and fevers. Nosebleeds are also a very common symptom, with many causes that are not easily detected. In children, nosebleeds are mostly caused by their habit of picking or rubbing their noses, which breaks the mucous membrane inside.

However, this doesn't mean it's a minor problem. In severe cases, nosebleeds can become uncontrollable, leaving a trail that resembles a murder scene. When blood fills the nasal cavity and can't drain out quickly enough, it can flow down the throat, filling the mouth with blood. At that point, the blood will clump together and be vomited out. Excessive blood loss can cause fainting or even shock.

"Hua Jiang, sit down first." Qin Jing gently pressed down on the shoulder of the girl with the nosebleed, making her sit down.

Seemingly because of hearing such a gentle and calm voice, the stunned Hanako was also affected and calmed down, obediently following Shizuka's guidance.

No one would stand idly by in such a situation. After all, in Qin Jing's eyes, the children here are just like her own little sister, Xiao Kui—children who need to be cared for and protected.

First, she pinched Hanako's nose and gently plugged her nostrils with a wad of tissue paper. The bleeding finally stopped as much as before. It seemed the problem wasn't serious. Qin Jing nodded, and the other children calmed down as well.

Qin Jing calmed the other screaming children with her actions, gently cared for Hanako, and calmly resolved the situation.

Unaware that his charm in the class was steadily increasing, the girls who looked at him had stars in their eyes, and some of them were even thinking that they wanted to get a nosebleed too. There were quite a few girls who were being taken care of like this.

Looking at Xiaohua reclining on the chair, her blank expression reminded me of Xiaokui, who was scared after causing trouble. Now, she looked like she was taking care of her own little sister. Indeed, children of this age are quite cute if they don't make a fuss.

Qin Jing, fulfilling his responsibility as an older brother, softened his movements, pouring warm water from the thermos to wet a handkerchief, and wiped the blood from the girl's face. In no time, Hanako's face was clean again.

"Okay, the bleeding has stopped. It's amazing that Hua Jiang didn't cry. Keep her head like this for now and don't move it. Hmm... her temperature is normal. Close your eyes and rest for a while. You're fine now." Qin Jing observed her for a moment, then reached out and touched the girl's forehead, speaking gently in her ear.

"Um... thank you, Jingjun..."

Hanako leaned her head against the small chair and closed her eyes, feeling like she was floating. Was it because she had lost too much blood? But if she could stay like this forever, that would be nice.

The voice coming from beside me was very pleasant. Compared to its usual indifferent tone, it was gentler, making me feel very comfortable and warm inside, like the warm feeling of resting my head on my mother's lap when I was sick.

The other person's soft breath tickled my ear, sending a tingling sensation that traveled from my ear to my heart, like an electric shock, making my whole body tingle and causing me to tremble slightly.

But the moment she thought of the owner of that voice, the girl's heart pounded, and something seemed to sprout in her tender bud, giving rise to a different kind of emotion.

"Hana-chan, where does it hurt? Or is it uncomfortable?" That warm voice came to my ear again, and I could feel that warm breath, it was as if her lips were close to my ear and she was speaking.

The girl's face grew increasingly red, her eyes darted around, her breathing became more and more rapid, and she responded incoherently.

"...It's...it's okay...Pfft!!!"

The red liquid rose high in a streak, like an erupting volcano spreading through the air; its crimson color shimmered in the sunlight, like particles of precious crystal.

"Wow! Blood is gushing out like a fountain!" the children around screamed.

"What happened? The bleeding had clearly stopped! Why? Hana-chan! Are you alright?!" Shizuka exclaimed in shock, her face splattered with blood, and tried to rush forward to help the girl.

"Wow! Jingjun, don't go any further! Someone will die!" The girls next to her quickly blocked Jing from going forward again.

Fortunately, Ms. Hanabatake arrived just then. She hadn't been there earlier because all the teachers had been called to the office for a meeting. As soon as she heard Emma Miyazawa tell her the news, she rushed over with all her might.

Yoshiko Hanabatake caught Hanako and rushed her to the medical room for emergency treatment. Fortunately, it was a close call; the nosebleed stopped after it stopped, but the blood all over the floor was quite frightening.

Hanako, fast asleep in bed, seemed to be having a sweet dream, and was smiling quite sweetly.

It's just as disgusting as when Yoshiko brags about her fiancé...

The school nurse, whose age was the same as her single age, suddenly felt a little annoyed and abruptly pulled the curtain shut.

Emma Miyazawa returned to the classroom and loudly announced that Hanako was alright.

Hearing this good news, Jing finally breathed a sigh of relief; things seemed to be resolved satisfactorily. However, she felt somewhat dejected. As she grew older, Jing realized that she was indeed not the type of person who possessed both talent and luck and could become strong simply through hard work.

Ultimately, the idea that success can be achieved simply by trying one's best is nothing more than the dream of lazy people who have never made an effort.

He can remain calm in the face of unexpected situations like today, but he always ends up handling them poorly.

While it's true that one shouldn't expect anything in return for doing good deeds, it's frustrating when doing good doesn't yield good results.

Putting aside his judgment in choosing a school, his well-thought-out plan to deal with unruly children was shattered by the sudden appearance of a monkey teacher.

For example, when taking care of a lost child in a shopping mall, even after calming the child down, the child will start crying again when the parents come to take the child away. Seeing the child clinging to her and the parents looking troubled, Qin Jing can only pat the child's head to calm her down and then find an opportunity to run away in a disheveled state.

Why is that? He clearly did his best... Why do good deeds always end up with bad results?

Section 16.16 The Child's Comfort and the Dog

Feeling like a failure as a person, and increasingly distant from her dream of becoming a literary prodigy, Qin Jing lowered her head in disappointment.

"What are you feeling down about? You did a fantastic job! You were right! Be more confident in yourself!"

A cheerful, clear sound pulled Jing from her thoughts.

“Miyazawa…” Qin Jing raised her head and looked at the person who came. She didn’t expect her to come and comfort her, even though she hated her so much.

Emma Miyazawa, the eldest sister, has always been clear about her grudges and favors. She has had a keen sense of perception since childhood and can discern a person's general character just by looking at them.

When she first met Qin Jing, she felt a sense of chaos, so murky that she couldn't distinguish anything, and even felt that this was not a chaotic mind that a human being could have.

This feeling disgusted her, just as disgusting as the criminals and villains she had seen who wanted to atone for their sins by burning incense and praying to Buddha, but were unwilling to repent and atone for their crimes.

Although the nature of their feelings was different, she sensed that Qin Jing's mind was in utter chaos, like a large dye vat filled with various colors, all stuck together, making it impossible to distinguish what color it was.

But seeing how diligently he took care of Hanako today, Emma Miyazawa's opinion changed somewhat. At least Qin Jing wasn't as hopeless as those villains; she still had a good side.

"Of course, I still don't like you, but I have to admit you did a good job today. With you here taking care of Xiaohua, I can go find the teacher with peace of mind. That's all I wanted to say!" After saying that, Miyazawa Emma turned and walked away gracefully.

"What Sister Miyazawa said just now is right!" At this moment, the other girls rushed forward.

"Xiaojing, don't worry about it too much, it's not your fault."

"Jingjun, Huajiang is definitely grateful to you too."

The girls came over and comforted Qin Jing. They knew the whole story; it was just that Jing was a rose with thorns, and Hua Jiang herself was unlucky and had too little resistance.

If beauty is a sin, then the story of Xuanzang's journey to the West to obtain Buddhist scriptures was a entrapment scheme, a malicious act that stifled Western monsters. Being beautiful is not a mistake! Beauty is justice!

The girls comforted Qin Jing, not wanting to see the handsome boy in their class so dejected, but... even when Jing-jun looked dejected, he was still so handsome!

"Thank you..." Qin Jing smiled wryly, realizing she'd been comforted by a child again...

Although the result wasn't perfect, the girls' gazes towards Jing seemed to soften, losing the previous admiration and appreciation and gaining a sense of closeness.

At this moment, the boys also came up.

"Shizuka, keep going! A real man isn't made in a day." Chun Yuan patted Shizuka on the shoulder and said meaningfully.

"Sunohara! Do you even have the right to say that? You were standing there motionless, you know," the boy retorted.

“You’re all the same,” Sunohara retorted.

"Well, I was really stunned when I spat out blood that last time."

"That's right, I was terrified too. The blood gushing from my nose was like a fountain! A fountain!" Chun Yuan exaggeratedly gestured the parabola of the nosebleed fountain.

"Haha! Come to think of it, Sunohara, your silly look back then was really funny!" the boys laughed.

"What I'm trying to say is that only a real man can get back up after every failure! That's what my dad did!" Chun Yuanyang retorted loudly, laughing and joking with the other boys.

After that, Hanako was taken home by her family, and the children resumed playing.

When school was over, Miss Yuan Lin stood at the classroom door with her arms crossed, looking arrogant, having dropped her usual elegant and kind facade, waiting for Qin Jing, who had finished packing her books, to come forward.

"Qin Jing, you did very well! I admit defeat this time, but I won't do it again next time! Humph!" Xiao Lin tossed her twin ponytails at Jing, said this, and turned to leave.

"I'm sorry, Qin Jun, what I really wanted to say was thank you for calming down the commotion in the class."
