Chapter 76 Is it worth escaping?
The industrial plan of the Yongan Group is being promoted in full swing.
Although the popular Yong'an Museum suspended its business during this period, the live broadcast of the construction of Yong'an Amusement Park and the "Journey to the West Characters" and surrounding comics officially released by Yong'an College from time to time were all talked about by many netizens and fans.
Of course, the popularity of the remake of the "Journey to the West" animation is very high, but the most surprising thing is the recent spin-off of "The Girl Who Sees History".
As the earliest comic to be updated by the Yongan Department, "The Girl Who Sees History" not only did not stop due to the emergence of the Journey to the West project, but it even followed this line of thought and incorporated the efforts of Yongan College on the "Journey to the West" project into the comic.
In the current comic setting, several monsters in Journey to the West have become spirits of artifacts created by the teachers of Yongan College.
This can be regarded as a disguised way of conveying the current work progress of Yongan College while promoting the remake of "Journey to the West" animation.
However, compared to the monsters that appear in the form of "magic instruments and spirits" in Journey to the West, the most popular ones are the lucky cat and the red fox that appear as the guardian beasts of the God of Wealth and Yue Lao in the latest chapter.
The comic begins with three adjacent temples next to Yongan College.
Wealth, marriage, knowledge.
This is the biggest and most common expectation that Donghuang elders have for their children.
Therefore, over the years this place has always been a popular destination with huge crowds of people and constant worship of incense.
However, due to the gradual changes in social trends in recent years, the Marriage Pavilion, which originally had the most prosperous population, has been compared with the two neighboring families.
Once upon a time, a good marriage was people's most common aspiration.
But nowadays, the word "finance" is what people first yearn for.
To this day, not to mention the former No. 1 temple, the current Marriage Pavilion is even sometimes mistaken by others as a wall separating two temples.
The glittering Temple of the God of Wealth and the fragrant Wenqu Tower.
The popularity of the two temples in recent years has been so great that it is incomprehensible that the Marriage Pavilion located in the middle cannot match it.
This has made the head of the Marriage Pavilion, Hong Xianhu Yuanyuan, very worried recently.
As a spirit beast in charge of marriage, helping lovers to finally get married is the foundation of her cultivation.
However, in recent years, not to mention the infatuated lovers who came here to seek marriage, she has even witnessed with her own eyes many pilgrims who took the initiative to throw garbage in front of the Marriage Pavilion and cause malicious damage in order to cut off all the red strings on their bodies.
I finally met someone who came to burn incense, but it turned out that he was there to cause trouble for my rival at work.
The event held by their Marriage Pavilion was clearly a happy event, but in the eyes of these people, it became the most vicious curse in the world.
This made Yuanyuan, who was unable to make progress in her practice, very helpless.
As a red thread fairy, she also hopes that she can achieve her goal as soon as possible. But the problem is that marriage requires mutual consent.
Only if she comes to pray in person can she exert her strength.
However, the only remaining support in her Marriage Pavilion nowadays is actually still dependent on those parents and elders who blame their children for refusing to find a partner.
Not only do they come here from time to time on weekdays to pray for marriages for their children, they even set up blind date corners in front of her marriage pavilion.
However, the reality is that even if the conditions of two children in their families are extremely similar in all aspects, parents will often only receive complaints from their children.
Yuanyuan couldn't help but sigh at the fickleness of the world.
Yuanyuan: "Since you have chosen to kill love in its cradle, how can you expect it to blossom and bear fruit when it is in its prime?"
The three temples were originally adjacent to each other, and the Marriage Pavilion, as the most prosperous temple at that time, happened to be located in the middle.
Which of these pilgrims today had not sworn a vow to sever all ties with the neighbors in the past?
When young love begins to blossom, one should not think about anything else and focus on studying and making money.
I wish I could completely eradicate even the slightest sprout.
Those once fertile lands have long been destroyed by all kinds of pesticides and boiling water.
When they were all desperate, they began to pray for beautiful flowers to bloom above the poisonous swamp.
This is simply asking too much.
She has given up everything at an age when she needs to understand love, so how can she possibly grow flowers and fruits after her roots are so deep-rooted?
It’s not about whether I want to or not, but that I no longer understand or need the so-called love.
Sometimes, even Yuanyuan, the Red Thread Fairy, felt that instead of forcing their way through her, it would be better for them to ask the two families next door for help.
Anyway, these people just want to find a marriage, and they don’t care whether the marriage itself can satisfy the parties involved.
In this case, if you want to make money or study, as long as you raise your property status, you can always make some "unrequited" love appear around you.
People who have cut off all feelings and love will not have any yearning for love.
The marriage of such people can only be built on the absolute unrequited love of the other party.
This was the first theme that Jia Wenyan thought of when constructing this comic.
As a contemporary person, she was also asked by her family about her love life after taking the college entrance examination.
But the problem is that Jia Wenyan, who has been instilled with the concept that "one should not fall in love" since childhood, has no way to change this deep-rooted idea in a short period of time.
From the third grade of elementary school, to three years of junior high school, and three years of high school.
The rule that students are prohibited from dating has been lingering in her mind for ten years.
How could the concepts formed over ten years be overturned in an instant?
Even since she was a child, her family members have never told her that she is not allowed to date, but to wait until she grows up and goes to college.
But to be fair, after years of assuming that love was a taboo, Jia Wenyan really didn't know what love was, nor did she know how to fall in love.
And most importantly, apart from making her parents happy and at ease, she couldn't think of what the meaning of being in a relationship was for her.
The reason her parents suggested she have a relationship was that she would have someone to accompany her. But the problem is that being with someone is not always good.
Even classmates and friends who just stopped at a certain point were like this, let alone couples who had gone a step further. Jia Wenyan didn't think that these relationships, which were full of ups and downs, would necessarily have a good outcome.
She admitted that love can be beautiful, but the problem is that in her eyes, love and marriage that can bring happiness to people always require two people to spend a lot of time and energy to manage.
But she really doesn't have the time and energy at the moment. She really can't imagine that there is any time in her life that can be allocated to the so-called "romance".
She really has a lot of things to do. She admits that she can't really devote all her time to work, but she also needs time to relax after work.
She needs time to live a "messy" life.
Her vacation after work should be a time for her to completely relax.
In her eyes, so-called love is something that needs to be maintained more carefully than work.
Of course, she also longed for a good relationship. But everything is relative, and she also hoped that there would really be a "good match" like in idol dramas who could understand and take care of girls' thoughts at all times.
If you can ask others to be good at performing the Twenty-Four Filial Exemplars, then can they also ask you to be a "good wife and loving mother"?
The reality is that they don't owe you anything. If you want the other person to understand you and take care of you, then shouldn't you treat the other person in the same way? Jia Wenyan thought she couldn't do that, but she didn't want a relationship that was just getting by.
And this is just the relationship between lovers. Dating and getting married are just appetizers. What is really difficult to deal with is getting along with another family in the future and the responsibilities as a "wife and mother" that may be involved in the future.
These things were too much trouble for Jia Wenyan. She really didn't know how to deal with them.
Even after thinking about it too much, she even had a feeling that love was really troublesome. So over time, she gradually let it go. It's not that she didn't want it, but she thought she was not worthy of the kind of love she wanted.
At least so far, she hasn't been able to be so shameless as to wait for others to pay for her services.
Work is a necessity in her life, but she doesn't want to maintain another "job" during her rest time.
This is the fundamental reason why she has never thought about actively trying to fall in love.
In her eyes, so-called love is suitable for those idle people in idol dramas who have nothing to do all day except love.
In the past, people didn’t have to work from nine to five every day when they were in love like we do now.
If it were a normal person, after working from nine to five, even if he had two days off, he would just want to lie in bed and have a good sleep.
She really couldn't think of anyone who was worth sacrificing her time for sleeping and playing games.
If she had that free time, she would rather make or repair one more cultural relic.
Jia Wenyan put all the story outlines she wrote into the comics through the mouth of Hongxianhu Yuanyuan.
Originally, she wanted to use the theme of red thread to highlight various embroidery and textile works. However, she never expected that when the staff of Zhenxin Animation followed her request and decorated all the characters in the Red Thread Pavilion with various high-end embroidery works,
The vast majority of workers focus more on her "complaints".
Everyone wants a good relationship, but the reality is that most people can't do it.
The pressure of life is already huge, and without sufficient capital, who can truly enjoy love?
Why are the characters in idol dramas always mostly from wealthy families? In the final analysis, isn’t it because ordinary people are simply not qualified to enjoy love?
The feelings of ordinary people are the sharing of joys and sorrows when working hard together.
But the problem is that this kind of happiness that comes from working together can also be achieved by one person alone.
Even many people are alone, which can reduce a lot of worries and risks.
She admitted that there are many people in this world who really don't want to fall in love, get married, or have children.
But there are also many people who refuse all of this because, like her, they feel that they are unable to fulfill the responsibilities that come with that identity.
Not to mention that she also needs to find a significant other who can take on all of this.
Jia Wenyan's idea resonated with many workers.
Why are there so many single people who refuse to fall in love but love to watch sweet pet dramas? The bottom line is that they feel they are not worthy of the relationship they want.
"Men all want to find a good wife and mother who takes care of the family, and women all want to find a golden bachelor who has everything covered."
Jia Wenyan didn’t know what others thought, but she always felt that someone she liked and was willing to pay for was definitely worthy of someone better than herself.
Jia Wenyan believes that there should be many people in this world who are like her, who are not disgusted but feel that they are unable to bear the responsibilities that come with a change of identity.
The so-called "fear of marriage" and "indifference" are just a cover-up. Even many people are obsessed with "work" and just want to use a more legitimate excuse to escape.
She believed that this angle would resonate with many people. However, what she didn't expect was that before the audience could react, she immediately received "punishment" from her own mother.
