Chapter 1 Inner and Outer Scrolls(1/2)

Last night when I was making skewers, I drank a few more drinks. Seeing that it was past noon, Zhao Nan yawned and got up from the bed.

After a brief wash, Zhao Nan picked up her backpack and went out, hailed a Didi Express, and headed straight to the new city along Guangming Avenue.

I remember that more than ten years ago, this was a large cornfield, but now it is filled with high-rise buildings and expensive commercial housing measuring tens of thousands per square meter.

As someone who travels abroad all year round and is a cross-border dating anchor, Zhao Nan can't help feeling that her hometown has changed tremendously, and the folks seem to have really become rich.

Take marriage as an example. Our compatriots have turned a simple matter like marrying a wife into a large-scale venture capital investment, often spending millions on houses, cars, and betrothal gifts at any time.

In order to reproduce, some boys will not hesitate to spend all their family savings or go into debt. The so-called heroic man buys a house and gives birth to children for the country, but this is nothing more than that.

However, the world is diverse after all, and there are always exceptions to everything.

In addition to the majority of takeovers, there is also a small group of outliers who are unwilling to shoulder huge mortgage loans and bride price, play the role of provider in marriage and tool in the family, and live a miserable life.

Therefore, they either choose to be single, not fall in love, not get married, or not have children.

Or turn your attention to other countries outside China, hoping to find a simple love and happiness.

Going abroad to make girlfriends, or even marry, have children, and settle down a family was something that was unacceptable and deviant to most people just a few years ago.

But the world is so magical. In just a few years, those painful experiences have made many people wake up and understand the truth that many teachers and parents have never taught them, and understand the fact that they are actually cows and horses.

Thinking about it this way, the great future may not be so important. Forgetting those tempting cakes and finding a quiet corner on the earth to live a free and ordinary life seems to be a good choice.

And these people who are tired of high betrothal gifts, tired of their girlfriends' unreasonable troubles, and tired of living without hope day after day are Zhao Nan's audience.

It took about forty minutes to get from the old town to the new town. The taxi stopped in front of a cafe that looked like a South Asian style cafe.

Zhao Nan found the waiter, specifically asked for a private room that would not disturb others, ordered American coffee and croissants, and quickly set up the live broadcast equipment.

3,2,1…

The countdown ended, the live broadcast room opened smoothly, and the viewers who had been waiting for a long time poured in one after another.

"Coming, coming!"

"First! I am first!"

"What is our slogan?"

"Reject involution! Crazy external involution!"

"I'm so looking forward to it, Brother Nan is finally going to fight again!"

"I wonder where Brother Nan will go this time? I heard that the island country Sri Lanka is quite good."

The audience spoke out one after another. Although Zhao Nan is not a well-known anchor, his popularity in the live broadcast room is not weak at all, and hundreds of viewers gathered in just ten minutes.

Facing the camera, Zhao Nan looked at the barrage, thinking and smiling as he said: "It seems that I should be happy to have such a high popularity just after the broadcast, but if I think about it carefully, it is not a good thing. It shows that people in the world really have sympathy for each other.

There are too many.”

"When I was young, my mother always taught me that as long as I study hard, I will naturally have a good life and have a beautiful and gentle girlfriend. But when I grew up, I realized that this was actually a scam."

"Brothers with golden chains, fat bosses and superiors, and liars who are ignorant and talkative. They don't need to work hard, but they never lack girlfriends."

"The pure and beautiful goddess in your mind may end up playing poker all night with a smart guy who has a clean face than his face because they had a spicy meal together."

"It seems that in the real world, bad guys live a pretty good life. On the contrary, you who are honest and work hard to study and build the motherland are often criticized for not knowing humor, being sentimental, and not being able to buy the luxury houses and cars they want.

"

"They say that straight men are a disease that needs to be cured, but I feel that the real disease may not be with us, but with this society."

Zhao Nan spoke slowly while thinking, as if he was not hosting a live broadcast, but discussing the philosophy of life with a group of friends.

"Fuck! This anchor is poisonous. He broke my guard as soon as he opened his mouth."

"Don't say anything, it's all tears."

"I was completely obedient to my ex-girlfriend, and I wished I could hold her in my hands, but what happened? The better I treated her, the less like a man she felt I was."

"We are all in the same boat, and so am I."

"I'm tired and don't want to work hard anymore. I beg Brother Nan to lead the way!"

Zhao Nan's words made the audience sigh, and they felt as if they had been gently poked into their already soft hearts, which were sour and a little painful.

Pulling away his emotions from his thoughts, Zhao Nan faced the camera again and said: "Do humans really have to fall in love, get married and have children?"

"Is reproduction really the destiny that young people today must accomplish at all costs, and they can never escape from it?"

"I don't have correct answers to these questions. I just advise everyone based on my observation and understanding of the world. Life is already so difficult. Even if you can't find a division-of-labor and collaborative emotional partner, don't find an ancestral companion creature by your side."

"Times have changed. Not falling in love, not getting married, not having children is by no means the worst choice. Suppose you feel that life is short and you should not endure loneliness, but you still want someone to accompany you to watch the sunrise and sunset.

If you can live your short life peacefully."

"Then I strongly recommend that you give up the inward movement immediately and actively engage in the outward movement."

"What is involution?"

"According to the latest statistics, there are 33.28 million more boys of marriageable age in China than girls. In other words, there are at least 30 million male compatriots who are destined to die alone."

"You can refuse to pay high betrothal gifts, but there are many people who are willing to sell their goods in order to reproduce. You can be neither humble nor arrogant, but in order to reproduce, there are still many people who are willing to kneel down."

"Now there are two choices before us. First, accept the reality. Whether you are a dog licker or a walking wallet, as long as you can do your best to meet all the requirements of girls and kill all other male compatriots,

Even if it succeeds, this is involution."

"Of course you can choose involution, but the problem is that our parents raised us and gave us education because they want us to have dignity and independent personality, not to make us grovel and look at other people's faces."

"If you don't want to turn inward, then the only other option left is to actively turn outside."

"What is an external roll?"

"It's very simple."

"You go to the country of Yue, rely on the smart and hard-working talents of Chinese boys, drag down the men of the country of Yue who like to drink and beat their wives, marry the most beautiful girls of the country of Yue home, and let the men of the country of Yue become bachelors one by one. This is called

External volume."

Zhao Nan spoke of his deviant theories without any shame.

He advised young people not to fall in love, get married, or have children.

If you feel lonely and still want to have company, turn your attention to the wider world.

After years of traveling abroad, he discovered that girls from Asia, America, and Europe are actually very easy to date, but the most difficult to pursue and serve in the world are actually his own compatriots.

“The anchor is awesome!”

"I no longer want to be involved in the internal affairs, I want to be involved in the external affairs!"

"Although it's nice to live alone, I still want to have a companion."

"Don't say anything, I'm checking air tickets on Ctrip..."

"Let's go! Let's go to Yue Country!"

"Although the anchor's speech is very good, can someone who is not familiar with the place be able to do it?"

"What are you afraid of? We haven't left the atmosphere yet."

"That's right, you've already endured the internal rolls, are you still afraid of the external rolls?"

After all, what most boys need is not a fairy who fell into the world, nor does they need to be romantic to death.

Most boys prefer a plain and real life, curling up in their arms when it's cold, drinking a bowl of hot porridge together, holding your hand when you're sick, and asking for help, that's all.

But unfortunately, times have irreversibly changed, and even such a simple request has gradually turned into a luxury.

"I said to the anchor, if we do this, will we be regarded as a bunch of stinky losers daydreaming?"

"I'm afraid our relatives and friends will think that we are forced to leave our hometown because no one wants us."

Seeing that the atmosphere became very lively, the boys were all looking forward to something simple and wonderful happening in a foreign country. Many hesitant voices suddenly appeared in the live broadcast room.

After years of repeated brainwashing, many boys have long been accustomed to social Darwinism and feel that the only way for human beings is to compete with each other. They do not understand that equality and liberalism are actually human nature.

In response, Zhao Nan just shrugged and said in a relaxed tone: "Who cares."

"If relatives and friends think so, let them think about it."

"Ultimately, we are here not because we failed, but because we chose a different way of life."

"Three years on the side, three more years on the side, three more years on the side, no hope, no end in sight. Is this the life we ​​want?"

"Assuming that after going through so much, they still haven't thought about how all of this happened, then I can only say that they are fundamentally different from us. If they ask you in the future, you'd better follow them and don't

Refute them and tell them with a smile that what you said is correct."

Hahahaha~

The live broadcast room burst into laughter.

The trick Zhao Nan gave everyone was a bit damaging, but also smarter. Just like talking to a cow about piano is never the cow's fault, but the person who talks about piano is stupid.

"What is the essence of life? What is the essence of marriage?"

After a pause, Zhao Nan resumed his storytelling mode and said slowly: "Years ago, when I was living in Sacheng, the Western Region, I met a classmate named Zheng Xudong. He came from the capital and was thirty years old.

Out front, riding a cool Honda CB500F motorcycle."
