Chapter 675: Contentment Is Happiness

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

“When you’re with Qiao Nan, you’ll drift away from the feelings of discontentment. Your trouble will usually dispel, and you’ll calm down together with Qiao Nan, focusing on doing the things you have on hand.”

s.h.i.+ Peng was looking at the big picture. s.h.i.+ Peng had already discovered this special temperament of Qiao Nan when Qiao Nan was previously teaching as Teacher Xiao Qiao in the army.

Qiao Nan did not have the youth and energy of her age. She was also not filled with pa.s.sion. It was as if she had already gone through the test of time and would make long-standing accomplishments in life through a calm and tranquil demeanor.

It was this special sense of peace in Qiao Nan that could easily influence those around her.

s.h.i.+ Peng was not sure of the situation of Qiao Nan’s cla.s.smates at school. Nevertheless, his own daughter, s.h.i.+ Qing, was certainly the best example.

Regardless of how chatty his daughter appeared to be in front of Qiao Nan, she was no longer as impulsive as before. She would even think of matters in the longer term.

Occasionally, s.h.i.+ Peng would also hear from his daughter that those dormitory mates and cla.s.smates of Qiao Nan had such an excellent learning atmosphere under the influence of Qiao Nan.

All these things were due to Qiao Nan. She was the core reason for the existence of that social circle.

“What is most lacking in your generation is that unique peace and calmness that Qiao Nan possesses. Most behave impulsively and do not care about the consequences. You’ve seen for yourself. Qiu Chenxi is one example. When one is unreasonable, they won’t suffer on their own, but they will implicate those around them. Think carefully before you act. This is not a lie written in the textbooks.”

“Qiao Nan is good. I’m not that bad either.” s.h.i.+ Qing puffed her cheeks and retorted unhappily. “No matter what, I was just saying. I didn’t expect and insist Qiao Nan to abide by my words.”

“Really? You’re most adept at debating now. The good thing is that I’m contented and happy. You’ve improved. Even if there’re only slight changes, I’m already very satisfied. No matter how good Qiao Nan is, she’s not my daughter. The biological daughter of s.h.i.+ Peng is the most precious darling in my life.”

Your own child would always be the best. Objectively, Qiao Nan had many good qualities, but subjectively, he had other personal preferences.

The daughter of other families would never be better than his.

s.h.i.+ Qing burst out into laughter. “Dad, your stand is very firm in this topic.” Nevertheless, she liked it.

“Dad, you don’t need to be overly concerned Actually, I didn’t mean anything when I said that. I just feel that Qiao Nan is too quiet, so I deliberately teased her.” It did not matter if she was going back to school. Anyway, Qiao Nan was not a third-year student who had taken the college entrance examination. She just wanted to make Qiao Nan exercise more. It might not be good for her to stay at home every day.

“You.” s.h.i.+ Peng rubbed s.h.i.+ Qing’s head. “You’re kind-hearted but your method is too childish. A child like Qiao Nan must have already planned what she’ll be doing and when she’ll do them. You poking your nose into her matters stubbornly, won’t you disrupt her learning plan? Instead of spending your time on this, you should give some thoughts about whether you’ll be able to survive this time next year.”

As a government official, s.h.i.+ Peng had already received information on the college entrance examination this year.

For example, the weather this year was extremely hot. It was much warmer than that of the past years.

It was because of the sudden change in the temperature that quite a number of students who had taken the college entrance examination fainted or suffered dehydration when they exited the examination halls.

As parents, when they saw their own children fainting due to the college entrance examination, who would dare to say anything more? What if they agitated the child and resulted in him or her having suicidal thoughts?
