From a distance, the small figure stood against the wall ramrod straight, as though aware of having done something wrong, occupying the space with utmost propriety.
Feeling someone approaching, he turned his head, and when he saw Qiao Xiguan, he slowly lowered it again.
Qiao Xiguan pursed her lips, holding back a smile.
The kindergarten teacher walked over, crouched down, and whispered a few words in the little monkey's ear; obediently, he walked up to Qiao Xiguan, head still down, his gaze fixed on the tips of his own shoes.
Qiao Xiguan thanked the teacher and prepared to leave with the little monkey.
"Oh, Miss Qiao," the kindergarten teacher called after her, smiling slightly, "all the teachers at our school support you, you must stay strong."
Qiao Xiguan smiled, "Thank you."
It seemed that she indeed had garnered a great deal of sympathy.
Qiao Xiguan got the little monkey into the car.
