When it comes to gender relations, we have to expand the content.
"There are many kinds of love in this world, there are those between men and women, such as your mother Laiying and father Zhao Jun, there are those between men and men, such as President Zhan and Qin Hanlin and Grandpa Qin, and there are also those like mother and mommy, women loving women." Lu Yinbing couldn't help but smile when she said this, and all kinds of arrangements and combinations around her were present, "Most people are heterosexual, that is, men and women are together, a small number of people are homosexual, and some people don't like either gender, there are also bisexuals who like both, and there are transvestites, transgender people, etc. It doesn't matter if you don't understand these now, you will understand them in the future."
Looking at the two children's confused eyes, Lu Yinbing stroked one of them's head with one hand and said, "In short, if you meet someone different from you in the future, don't make a fuss or blame them. If you are a minority, don't care about other people's opinions. A person's life is so short, it's not worth wasting time on these insignificant things. Live your own life well, and if you have the energy to make some contributions to this society, we will be satisfied."
Lu Xia looked thoughtful, and Xia Lu stared at her sister.
Lu Xia: "What?"
Xia Lu whispered: "Do you understand?"
Lu Xia: “…I understand.”
Xia Lu: "Then please explain it to me. Mommy's explanation is too complicated."
Lu Xia: "Ask yourself, I don't understand this."
Xia Lu wrinkled her nose. Lu Xia glanced at her and asked Lu Yinbing, "Mommy, my sister asked you what transvestite is."
"Eh? Didn't I explain this to you guys just now?" Lu Yinbing, who had a bad memory, completely lost his memory of what happened a minute ago. After getting a positive answer from Xia Yitong, Lu Yinbing rubbed his nose shyly and said, "Let your mother explain this."
"Okay, I'll tell you."
Xia Yitong agreed, but did not explain to them immediately. Instead, she turned on the TV in the living room and typed the keyword "Broken Snow" in the input box. The movie playback interface popped up, and Xia Yitong pressed play with a half-smile on the corner of her mouth: "Let me show you what a man in men's clothing is."
Lu Yinbing: “…”
Watching TV at a young age can affect children's eyesight. Lu Yinbing did not allow them to watch TV before the age of four. After the age of four, they could watch cartoons for half an hour every day. As for electronic products, Lu Xia and Lu Yinbing reduced the frequency of their use at home, especially Lu Yinbing. Most of the entertainment activities were reading books. Under the influence of Lu Yinbing, the two children were not like many children of the same age who were obsessed with electronic products. Xia Lu liked sports activities. Lu Xia followed Lu Yinbing to read books and write. Before entering elementary school, she had already recognized a lot of words, and her vocabulary was comparable to that of the upper grades of elementary school.
In addition, although Lu Yinbing was not very shameless, she seldom watched her own movies at home. The few times she did, she and Xia Yitong would lock themselves in the room and watch them.
So even though they are both big stars and good actors outside, at home... Xia Yitong looked at her two blinking daughters and thought: They probably don't quite understand their and their mom's popularity and acting skills. This is a good opportunity to cultivate their children's admiration for Lu Yinbing and let them see how outstanding Lu Yinbing is.
With this in mind, the movie opens with a heavy snowfall. An old man sings an ancient ballad as he returns home with his hoe. A barefoot girl looks at each other, and a glance penetrates the ice and snow, bringing out a chaotic world of war and disorder.
More than a decade has passed, and Xia Yitong still remembers every detail of the filming of this movie.
When filming that dance scene, she had a beautiful dream in broad daylight, luckily Lu Yinbing didn't find out. That dance has become even more classic today, ten years later, and is often put into Xia Yitong's mixed-cut MVs by Internet celebrities, giving people a glimpse of her beauty.
Lu Yinbing watched attentively, ignoring the two children's exclamations and doubts.
When Chen Qing stepped down and looked at Jing Xiu who was sitting in the corner, Xia Yitong paused the movie and said, "Did you see that? Transvestite is when women dress up as men and men dress up as women. In our society, it is accepted for women to wear men's clothes, and it is basically no longer called transvestite. For example, the suit, vest, and trousers that your mother wore in "A Woman at Forty" are all men's styles, and she looks more handsome in them than men. However, men who wear women's clothes are discriminated against. Do you remember the big brother who wore heavy makeup and a skirt when we went out shopping last time?"
The children nodded.
"You behaved very well last time. You were very polite and didn't offend anyone."
Lu Xia pursed her lips and said, "Mom, you don't have to tell us about them separately. In our opinion, he is the same as us. We never feel that he is different. Isn't it discrimination to classify him separately?"
Xia Yitong was stunned for a moment.
"I didn't, I just..." I was afraid that you would have prejudices against them, so I singled them out. Xia Yitong frowned, as if a string in her mind was touched. What Lu Xia said made sense. Children don't have concepts such as transvestite, homosexuality, heterosexuality, etc. Their nature only has instinctive aesthetics of beauty and ugliness, likes and dislikes, etc. Those sexual orientations and habits are formed after their parents instill them.
Xia Yitong understood this and immediately wanted to apologize to the child: "I'm sorry..."
Lu Yinbing stopped her and said, "Let me explain." She gave Xia Yitong a look that said, "I knew you were not capable of this. I choked you back with just one sentence. Watch me."
Lu Yinbing took action and fought against three people at once.
"We are telling you this not because we discriminate against you or treat you as a minority. It's because..." Lu Yinbing looked at the three people sitting in a row in front of him. His gaze paused on Xia Yitong's face, then fell back on the two children. He said seriously, "In your future life, you will meet many people and be impacted by various ideas. In the future, you will know that not everyone thinks the same way as we do. When you accept more different ideas, you will doubt and deny yourself. We are your first window to understand the world, and we must guard this gate for you."
"We can't control others, but you are my daughters, and I won't allow you to become like those people. There are many beautiful things in this world, but there is also malice hidden in the darkness. You can follow the path, and our mission is to lead you from the house to the door, and give you a lamp that will never go out at any time."
The two children seemed to understand.
Lu Yinbing said, "Let's go watch a movie."
Xia Yitong couldn't hold back any longer. When the two children were engrossed in watching the movie, she pulled Lu Yinbing back to the room, pressed her on the bed and kissed her face with saliva. Her eyes were full of excitement, and she rubbed her face back and forth with both hands: "Teacher Lu, how can you be so talkative?"
Lu Yinbing smiled and put his arm around Xia Yitong's shoulders: "Don't I always know how to talk?"
"That's what I said, but the feeling this time is very different." Xia Yitong still remembered the feeling when she was watching Lu Yinbing talking just now. Her eyes widened and she almost forgot to breathe. She couldn't help it. Xia Yitong's heart surged and she kissed the woman's lips again, "You are so handsome!"
"Thank you so much." Lu Yinbing said modestly, but the proud raised corners of her lips revealed her mood.
Xia Yitong was so excited just now because of her. Seeing Lu Yinbing glowing all over, she was so cute even if she was a little bit cocky. She buried her face in her neck and kissed her again. Lu Yinbing enjoyed Xia Yitong's admiration for a whole day. At night, she couldn't hold it in anymore and blurted out the truth: "Actually, those words were not my original idea. They were from Ning Qing's new script. There is a female character with a daughter in it. These words are how she educates her child."
Xia Yitong: “…”
Lu Yinbing: "But that's what I meant, it's a little blunt but true."
Xia Yitong's mouth twitched and he turned his back.
Lu Yinbing put his hands on Xia Yitong's waist and tickled her. In less than a minute, Xia Yitong surrendered. The two smiled and kissed. Lu Yinbing put one hand under Xia Yitong's neck and held her in his arms.
The room was quiet. Lu Yinbing listened carefully to the noise coming from the next room. In fact, the soundproofing was good and the two children didn't break the wall, so she couldn't hear anything. But she still listened out of habit.
After listening for a while, Lu Yinbing put his lips on Xia Yitong's forehead and asked softly, "Are you asleep?"
Xia Yitong, with his eyes slightly closed, uttered a nasal sound: "Hmm?"
"Ning Qing is looking for a lead actor for his new script. Are you interested in playing a doctor?"
"What type of script?"
"A group portrait of urban women, five women, a doctor, a director, a teacher, a student, and a poor, stingy, ordinary person."
"I want to play an ordinary person who is poor, stingy and has a bad temper." Xia Yitong opened his eyes and looked at Lu Yinbing with a smile.
Lu Yinbing: “…”
"He's poor but cute, has the aura of an ordinary citizen, and also has the kindness of a small person. Isn't that very attractive?" Xia Yitong said.
“This…” Lu Yinbing hesitated. What Xia Yitong said made sense. From the character perspective alone, she also preferred to create ordinary people with complex contradictions.
"Then I'll play the doctor. Can you decide?"
"I'm the investor, producer, and big boss, okay? I can't decide who can decide. Wait, what role do you want to play?" Lu Yinbing raised his voice, "Doctor?"
"I haven't played a doctor yet, let me give it a try. If you don't like it, I'll go back to playing an ordinary person?" Xia Yitong said lazily, with a cunning look in her eyes. How could she not guess what Lu Yinbing was thinking? He just wanted her to play the temptation of uniforms. Maybe he would stay in the crew for a long time under the pretext of visiting the set, and learn how to direct by the way.
"No, no, no, it's the doctor." Lu Yinbing rubbed his hands excitedly, and finally suppressed his excitement. "I'm going to call my cousin's wife now and tell her that the doctor has decided."
Lu Yinbing happily finalized one of the leading roles with Ning Qing.
Xia Yitong crossed her hands behind her head, looked at the ceiling, and said to Lu Yinbing: "After this drama is broadcast, there will definitely be a lot of CPs flying all over the sky." With the powerful imagination of netizens, it is not a problem to randomly pair two of the five people to have CPs. Some people will even edit the "Fox Spirit" with three people to make a big fuss. After the broadcast of "Women at Forty" by Laiying last year, there were no less than ten CPs for Laiying alone, not to mention the others. That was a criminal investigation drama with solving cases as the main line. Now this city...
Lu Yinbing said nonchalantly: "What's there to be afraid of? We're both out, so even if it's just hyping up a couple, is there anyone better suited for you and me?"
Xia Yitong just smiled and said nothing.
Laiying is married, and it's not uncommon to see people pairing her up with other women.
After all, the new TV series is something for the future, and what will happen next is for the future to worry about. The most important thing now is to sleep. The two of them continued to chat for a few more words, turned off the lights and went to sleep.
They had a dreamless night and were woken up by Lu Yinbing's kiss in the morning. The two of them stayed in bed. Today was not a weekend off and the children in the family had all gone to school. Without Xia Lu's chattering, the two of them enjoyed a rare moment of peace and quiet.
Lu Yinbing stayed up until 9:30 in the morning, and decided not to have breakfast at home, but to go out for a meal. He chose a restaurant about half an hour away from home and made breakfast and lunch together.
The two then went shopping in the mall, wearing hats and holding hands like ordinary couples. They were almost recognized by passers-by twice along the way, which scared them so much that they curled their necks and shrunk their shoulders, wishing they could hide underground.
After safely escaping the danger, Lu Yinbing straightened his back and said proudly, "I have such an outstanding temperament. I can still be recognized even if I'm wrapped like this."
Xia Yitong raised his eyelids and rolled his eyes at her in a subtle way.
Lu Yinbing immediately complained: "You rolled your eyes at me!"
Xia Yitong felt more wronged than Dou E: "I didn't."
"You have it, you have it." Lu Yinbing shook off her hand, and she was addicted to acting. No one could stop her. Xia Yitong watched her act out the whole thing silently, and then went up to hold her hand again, "I was wrong."
Lu Yinbing: “Huh.”
"There are so many people in front, let's stay away from it." Xia Yitong looked forward in the direction the two were walking. It was unclear what kind of activity was going on in front, and it was surrounded tightly with three layers of people inside and outside.
"Go, go, go, hurry up." Lu Yinbing also saw it and turned around to leave.
"Hello, may I ask who you are..." A petite girl about 1.6 meters tall rushed over from the side, looked up at Lu Yinbing, and asked cautiously, "... Lu Yinbing?"
I didn't, don't talk nonsense. Lu Yinbing's heart was filled with alarm, and he immediately changed his voice to a rough one and said, "No, you got the wrong person."
But it was too late. A huge force suddenly erupted from this girl's small body. Her screams spread through the crowds and even drowned out the mall's broadcast: "Ahhhhhhh Lu Yinbing is here!!! And Xia Yitong!!!"
No activity was of any use. All the heads of the people in front looked over here, their eyes widened, and they all showed expressions of disbelief. The wall of flesh was visible to the naked eye, rushing over here.
Lu Yinbing cursed the girl in his heart and pulled Xia Yitong's hand: "Hurry—"
Xia Yitong reacted faster than her. She started running as fast as she said the first word. In an instant, the two of them ran four or five meters away. There were too many people behind them to catch up, but there were still people in front. When the people in front saw such a big commotion, they naturally looked at the two people in front a few more times. Coupled with the noisy discussions, many people also followed the crowd and joined the team.
People elsewhere in the mall heard the person who just walked over talking, asked a question, and looked in that direction.
Fearing a stampede might occur later, Lu Yinbing ran while calling for the mall security. Passersby took out their mobile phones to capture this spectacle. The two popular movie queens staged a life-and-death race in the mall, which was uploaded to Weibo that night.
Yilifantuantuan: I was shopping in xx mall today and heard a commotion in front of me. I curiously followed over to take a look. Guess what I saw! Lu Shen and Xia Yitong!!! Ahhhhhhh I even took a video [Video link]
Netizen 1: hhhhhhhhhhh My hair is almost blown into the shape of the Lion King
Netizen 2: What's wrong with the people above? Do you look down on our Golden Lion King? Click here to get the Dragon Slaying Sword.
Netizen 3: Didn't anyone notice that they were holding hands? Another bite of dog food
Netizen 4: Those who are eating dog food above are probably new fans. We old fans are used to it. Holding hands is nothing. If you have the guts, just kiss in public [Ahhh why am I still so excited when an old couple holds hands] Delete the words in brackets
Netizen 5: Ah 4 is really naughty 2333
Netizen 6: These two people seem to always be so energetic, and we are used to it. If it were other opposite-sex couples in the entertainment industry, it would seem that this would never happen.
Netizen 7: This is what makes them so precious. It takes ten years to be able to ride the same boat together, and ten thousand years to be able to be a couple. I will love them forever.
Netizen 8: +1 for a lifetime
In the villa, Lu Yinbing was lying on the bed, Xia Yitong was half kneeling beside her, applying lotion on her back. When she heard Lu Yinbing mumbling to her phone, she couldn't help but asked with a smile, "What are you looking at?"
"We were photographed in the mall today, and it was shared all over Weibo."
"Then what?"
"Nothing happened. I'm used to it." Lu Yinbing turned around and pouted, "Kiss me."
Xia Yitong lowered her head.
"Mmmmm--" Lu Yinbing's lips pressed against hers.
The light was bright, illuminating the wishing bottle tied with a blue ribbon on the bedside table. The two kissed under the light, and their silhouettes fell on the glass bottle. The long time seemed to be frozen at this moment, and the light and shadow of these years flashed on the glass bottle like a revolving lantern, meeting, falling in love, and knowing each other, just like an old calendar that turned over page by page and closed quietly.
Lu Yinbing felt a strange feeling surging in her chest. The corners of her mouth curled up and she looked quietly in a certain direction in the void, as if there was also a warm gaze that had been silently watching her for more than ten years, and her lips opened and closed silently.
goodbye.
