"How is it?" Yoshiko asked.

"How interesting!"

"So funny!"

Almost all the children in the class gave it high praise.

Qin Jing covered her face; she had never expected much from the brat's aesthetic sense.

"Then I'll teach you how to dance, okay?" Jiazi said with a smile.

"Okay!"

'Why do these monkeys seem unusually capable today? I think I'll leave.' Quietly, she picked up her books, turned around, and prepared to slip out the back door.

A hand grabbed his pants, preventing him from leaving.

"Jingjun, where are you going? Everyone said we should come and learn to dance together." Teacher Monkey suddenly appeared behind Jing and grabbed his clothes.

"Tch... Let go! I'm not feeling well and need to go to the infirmary..." Jing turned around and said calmly.

"I won't let go... Hehehe, if you don't want your cute panties to be seen by the whole class, then stay here... Hahaha!" Jiazi let out an evil lady's laugh, her hand grabbing the hem of Qin Jing's shorts.

Qin Jing broke out in a cold sweat. This person really could do such a thing!

The girls around them clenched their fists nervously, their eyes wide, not wanting to miss a single second.

“I understand… let go.” Qin Jing pulled up her shorts and returned to her seat. “But I will absolutely not dance that weird dance.”

"You can't do this, Shizuka! Everyone's been waiting for you. Take it off! Or dance, choose!" Yoshiko seemed to have some kind of obsession, unwavering and determined not to let Shizuka go, continuing her attack.

"Absolutely not!" Qin Jing said resolutely, sitting in her chair and hugging the table tightly.

"Ah... Shizuku is so cold... Teacher is going to cry." And just like that, tears welled up in the teacher's eyes, accompanied by a realistic sobbing voiceover—this was the monkey's new trick! While Shizuku and the children grew up, the monkey was also constantly evolving.

Lately, if anyone doesn't cooperate with her, she looks at them with worried eyes and starts making all sorts of unreasonable demands. I don't know where she learned that.

First, at a speed imperceptible to the naked eye, a large amount of saliva is spat into the palms of both hands and quickly smeared on the eyes to create the effect of tears. Then, the eyes are rubbed together, and the superb vocal skills comparable to those of a voice actor are used to produce a highly infectious and sorrowful sob...

Section 18. To Dance or Not to Dance?

Yoshiko Hanabatake displayed incredibly realistic acting skills, instantly transforming herself from a tyrannical ruler into a victimized member of the masses. This person is an absolute genius when it comes to causing trouble—utterly disgusting—but the compassionate children here fall for it…

"Oh no, Xiaojing made the teacher cry again." The kind-hearted girls were all indignant on behalf of the teacher who was faking her tears.

"Jingjun, I think this is wrong!"

Qin Jing was suddenly surrounded by the children in the class. Recently, he had accidentally become a little too familiar with these mischievous kids, and as a result, their attitude towards him had become casual.

"Jingjun, come dance too!" The girls looked at her with expectant eyes like little animals, and if she refused, they would look like they would cry.

"Yay! Qin Jing made the teacher cry, her parents are going to be called in!" The boys started making a fuss too.

"Jing, you've been making the teacher cry a lot lately. Could it be that you actually like the teacher?" Chun Yuan teased, as if he didn't want things to get out of hand.

Kids this age, to put it nicely, are innocent and gullible; to be honest, they're practically heart-wrenching demons. That's why I planned from the start not to get too close to these little devils! I accidentally fell for their charms, and now this is the consequence…

What do you mean by "always making her cry"? She clearly uses faking tears to threaten people! And she even said I like monkeys?

Jing, who absolutely didn't want to hear such words, clutched her chest and silently made a decision: 'Okay, next time I'll trick you into eating the monkey's treasured bananas, so you can get closer to the teacher.'

'If it were just a regular dance, that would be fine, but this is a monkey dance adapted by Teacher Monkey! Why is she dressed as a rabbit? Why does a rabbit have to kick its legs so high? And why is she wiggling her butt?'

Young girls, don't you feel ashamed? This will be a lifelong black mark on your history.

At this moment, someone in the class finally spoke up. Jing felt someone pat her on the shoulder and turned around.

"Oh, so you're just kids. Ladies and gentlemen wouldn't dance that kind of childish and inelegant dance, right?"

The one speaking was none other than Miss Yuan Lin, who had her arm around Qin Jing's shoulder and looked at the other children with an arrogant expression that said, "Don't lump us together!" Although this also made her seem particularly childish.

"We're just kids..."

"yes……"

The children around them looked at each other in disbelief.

"Even Xiaolin is like this, the teacher is going to cry again~" the teacher said, covering her face.

"Why do you want to dance this dance so much, teacher?" Yuan Lin questioned.

"Because I love dancing! I love dancing as much as I love everyone!" The teacher clenched her fist and said righteously. Why were my eyes full of tears? Because my love for dancing runs deep.

“Then why doesn’t the teacher just go and dance himself?” Yuan Lin retorted.

"I want to dance with everyone, that would be so much more fun! Doesn't Rin want to play with the teacher? Waaah..." the teacher roared, tears streaming down her face.

"Sister, let's go over there after all," Sakura, who had been standing behind Rin, tugged at her sister's sleeve and urged her on.

"Sakura, you can just stay by my side!" The girl with pigtails didn't even glance at the teacher, grabbed her younger sister's hand, and turned her gaze back to Shizuka.

"It's not easy for any of us, having to deal with these childish brats every day," the girl with pigtails said with a proud and empathetic air. It seems she considers Jing to be on the side of the 'mature gentlemen and ladies' who don't want to join the awkward dance.

"..." Jing sighed, stood up, and joined the dancing group.

"Wait! Qin Jing, you traitor!" Xiao Lin's eyes widened, her face flushed red, and her pigtails swung back and forth. She never expected to be betrayed like this.

Qin Jing resignedly joined the dance group, clasping her hands together and raising them above her head. Incidentally, this gesture represents a banana, and the figure, like Banana, exudes a natural, carefree spirit.

So, with tears in her eyes, Ms. Yoshiko and all the other children's gazes were focused on Rin, the girl with twin tails.

"I'll dance! I'll dance! Is that okay?!" Xiao Lin shouted, her face flushed, reluctantly joining the awkward dance.

"Hmm!" Teacher Monkey gave a thumbs-up in satisfaction. "I believe in you, young lady!"

As Indian-style music started playing, everyone started dancing the bunny hop, and things seemed to have been resolved satisfactorily.

To the cheerful melody of a children's song, like "Little Rabbit, Be Good," the teacher waved a drum and kept time, eventually joining the dance group.

First, they spread their arms to represent the peeling of fruit, and then the dance officially began. One by one, the children wearing light blue uniforms made a scissor shape with their hands, held them above their heads and swayed them, squatting down and jumping up again.

Teacher Monkey clapped his hands and exclaimed, "Great! So cute! Now it's time to bump your bottom and then pat your bottom like a monkey!"

Pat pat! The children swayed their waists to the melody, bumped into each other in pairs, and then patted their bottoms. What does this mean?

Yoshiko Hanabatake now possesses exceptionally high IQ and EQ, making her capable of hosting certain variety shows where she constantly encourages children to perform various talents and act cute to please middle-aged and elderly viewers.

"Yes! Don't forget to spin around at the end, and remember to meow before you finish! Meow!" the teacher reminded her with a smile, still wanting more.

"Meow meow~!! Hahaha." The children flashed peace signs and cheered joyfully, including Rin, the girl with twin tails. Weren't you having a lot of fun jumping around...?

"Meow..." Jing meowed listlessly.

"So, why does this adapted bunny hop have to imitate both a monkey and a cat's meow? It's just a malicious hodgepodge of cuteness."

“That’s great! Is everyone happy?” Yoshiko asked.

"Happy!" Almost all the children in the class responded happily.

"Great! Take a ten-minute break, then do it again!" Jiazi clapped her hands in satisfaction.

"Okay~!" Sunohara and the others agreed especially enthusiastically; they seemed to really enjoy this funny dance.

After that, under Yoshiko's guidance, everyone danced several more times and started to look quite good.

"Everyone... you danced so well, it was absolutely amazing! I'm so touched... I'm so touched I want to eat lots of bananas, boohoo." Jiazi cheered with satisfaction, and finally burst into tears.

"Teacher, don't cry. I'll give you the banana from my lunch," the kind girl said.

"One isn't enough... Waaah..." the teacher said, covering her face.

"Really, you can have mine too."

"Teacher, there's mine too."

"And mine too!"

"Then I'll give you mine too."

"Really!" Jiazi immediately looked up, her face lighting up with a bright smile. She was truly a sunshine that brightened her day, and the more bananas she was offered, the brighter she became. She'd probably been eyeing the bananas that were now included in the children's meals, which had only started today. The school meals had always consisted of fruits like apples, pears, and strawberries, but this month they'd switched to bananas. Jiazi had finally gotten the chance to enjoy a banana feast without spending any money.

Qin Jing had sensed that Teacher Monkey was acting strangely today; was this the reason?

"Bananas..." Qin Jing nodded thoughtfully.

After making an appointment with the students to give her the hidden bananas in the afternoon, Yoshiko left and disappeared.

After nap time, Jiazi smiled and pulled out a stack of flyers, handing them out to each child.

Jing took it and saw that it was a "Thanksgiving Gathering for the Elderly." It was a program organized by the commercial street for all elderly people living in the neighborhood, and everyone was welcome to participate.

The first prize is a 4K TV provided by the self-service supermarket; the second prize is a half-year supply of rice and oil for a family of five provided by Longyu Rice and Oil Shop; the third prize is a free book rental voucher from Lao Hua Bookstore, providing three years of free book rental benefits...

Seeing this stillness made my eyes light up.

Next up is... the encouragement prize is a bag of premium bananas from the South.

"Ah...so that's what Teacher Monkey was planning..." Qin Jing suddenly realized that the purpose couldn't be clearer.

Qin Jing suddenly realized something and stood up in fear. At the same time, Yuan Lin also stood up. The two stared at each other in horror, as if they saw their own shameful future reflected in each other's eyes.

As expected! Ms. Hanabatake Yoshiko raised her hands and announced, "Everyone! We're going to perform the Bunny Hop on this stage!!!"

"What do we do?!" Jing and Lin stared at each other with wide eyes and panicked expressions.

The scene of the performance day flashed through Xiao Lin's mind.

She was wiggling her hips and dancing a wild animal dance on stage.

Her father, watching her from below the stage, said with disappointment, "This Rin doesn't seem like a daughter of the Yuan family at all; she's not elegant at all."

Then he turned and left, walking further and further away...

At last……

Qin Jing's mind conjured up images of her family.

Qin's mother was recording with a DV camera, while Qin's father was constantly taking pictures with a camera.

Xiao Kui laughed loudly and said, "Brother's dance is so weird, it's hilarious, he looks like an idiot..."

"Xiaojing! We're watching! Mom and Dad will film it all! We'll show it to all our relatives and neighbors!"

No!

I'd rather die than do that!

To dance that shameful dance in front of family and so many people. I absolutely do not want such a dark past!

"We must stop it!!!" The two nodded emphatically.

Section 19, Don't leave yet during the meeting after get off work.

Life is full of choices. Sometimes a single word can change a person's life. Sometimes you can't start without taking that step. Sometimes taking a step back and slowing down can open up a whole new world. This is a life-or-death choice like that of Hallemuth. This is a crucial moment to regain dignity.

"Teacher! I think the elderly don't like watching dancing! Let's choose another program!" Yuan Lin raised his hand and said loudly.

“Let’s dance! I spent the whole night coming up with this dance!” Yoshiko Hanabatake said.

Feeling Yuan Lin's pleading gaze, Miyazawa Emma thought, "Whatever works. As long as the old lady feels happy during the holiday, that's fine." But since Yuan Lin had asked her for help, as a friend, she couldn't ignore it.

Emma raised her hand and said, "That's true. If we're performing for elderly people, our kind of dance probably won't make them happy except for being funny. Everyone wants to surprise the adults!"

"Yes! Adults and children alike treat us differently, forbidding us from doing this or that!"

"The boss is right!"

"So what kind of program should we perform?" the other children asked.

At this point, Qin Jing could no longer remain a quiet observer. She stood up, raised her hand, and said, "Perform a play! Just perform a play that old people like to watch!"

"Huh? Acting! A prince and princess, and a fairy?"

"Can I wear all kinds of cute clothes?"

The girls seemed very interested.

"A hero who defeats the Demon King and the evil dragon?"

"A cool sword and cloak!"

The boys were also eager to try it out.

"This is a golden opportunity!" Xiao Lin raised her hand and shouted, "Teacher! We all think acting is better than dancing!"
