Capítulo 439: Chapter 423: Good Child, Bad Child

"She's not worth your distress," Shitou said, relieved as he noticed Lu Yun's expression had softened considerably.

"I'm not distressed, I just suddenly remembered a story."

Lu Yun looked up at Shitou and smiled, "Whether in a past life or this one, whether in everyday life or during our school days, we always see that good, obedient children are easily overlooked. But bad children, as soon as they behave slightly better, are noticed by teachers who then lavishly praise them for doing something good children regularly do."

"That's easy to understand because those acts themselves aren't really praiseworthy, as they are expected. But for bad children, who often fail to do what is expected of them, the only option is to praise them when they occasionally fulfill their duties, hoping they'll stop causing trouble," Shitou said, raising his eyebrows.
