Free heart

According to Shen Xiaoxiao's life experience and social experience gained in the United States over the past ten years, she doesn't care about anyone's opinions and words about her sexual orientation at all.But after all, she is a Chinese girl who is studying abroad and needs to return to her hometown after all, which means that she needs to adapt to the attitudes of relatives and friends who have been cultivated under traditional moral concepts.

But one thing has both positive and negative sides. While she is adapting to her hometown, her relatives and friends in her hometown also have to adapt to her from a foreign country.If there is a day when she and her relatives and friends in her hometown can no longer find a balance point of adaptation, it will be the day when she returns to her second hometown—the United States.

The "enlightenment" of Zhou Lin, the future sister-in-law who graduated with a master's degree and is about to marry Shen Ying, seems to verify the saying: "People with higher education are more advanced and open-minded, and they are more accepting of new things." But she Has the issue of future sister-in-law Shen Xiaoxiao's sexual orientation really risen to the level of "enlightened"?Looking at it now, it is still too early.

After Shen Ying held the wedding ceremony with her on National Day this year, that is, from the moment she walked into Shen's house, she became Shen Xiaoxiao's veritable sister-in-law.Although sister-in-law and sister-in-law are always enemies, her sister-in-law is from an unusual family and cannot be compared with ordinary sister-in-law.Therefore, Shen Xiaoxiao's future life-long events naturally became part of her responsibility as the daughter-in-law of the Shen family.

It is true that I am on vacation in the United States now, but the vacation must be over after all.After returning to China, if there were no accidents, someone would definitely ask her about whether Shen Xiaoxiao found a boyfriend, or when she got married.At that time, presumably she will not be so "enlightened" to tell others that her sister-in-law is a lesbian.Of course, Shen Xiaoxiao never allowed anyone to talk long and short about her own affairs, even if it was the "hard-hearted" words of her parents, elder brother and sister-in-law Zhou Lin.

While giggling, Shen Xiaoxiao did think of this.She believed in Zhou Lin's character, but she didn't believe in the advanced attitude she showed just now.While Zhou Lin was pretending to hit her, she didn't leave the guest room immediately, but said with a smile: "You want to hit me? Well, I want to see how you will hit me?"

Zhou Lin definitely won't really hit Shen Xiaoxiao, but she just glared at the other party and said: "Who told you to talk nonsense? Oh, according to what you said, then wouldn't I become a shameless lecherous... slut Already? Giggle..."

Xiaoxiao pursed her lips happily, walked to the chair next to the TV cabinet and sat down and said, "Well, I don't care if you like it or not. What I want to say is, why aren't you surprised or...shocked ?”

"Xiao Xiao, what did you say?"

"I mean, weren't you a little surprised when you saw me and Patricia kissing? In other words, when you're used to the custom that a woman should kiss a man, and suddenly you see two women hugging each other Kissing or having sex, don't you feel uncomfortable?"

"To be honest, I was really surprised at the time. I didn't know what to say. Do you want me to change my disgusting look and say to you two: 'Hey, how disgusting!?'"

"please continue."

"Of course I won't do it. Xiao Xiao, maybe my mind is not as advanced or open as you are."

"Well, so it's still difficult for you to accept my sexual orientation?"

"No. It's up to you whether you want to be with a girl or a boy. As long as you're happy, right?"

Xiaoxiao walked to the bed, picked up the beer bottle and said, "That's right. I still remember a Chinese saying: 'It's nothing to do with yourself, hang it high.' Zhou Lin, you came here with such a mentality. Do you look at mine?"

Her words seemed to directly hit Zhou Lin's mind.Zhou Lin's face turned red quietly under the faint light. In order to hide her embarrassment, she had no choice but to falter and say: "Uh...uh... Xiaoxiao, I... I have a little bit of this idea. But...but, you After staying in the United States for so long, don’t Americans do the same?”

"Americans do sometimes do this. But they usually think that each individual is seen as completely and extraordinary unique, and each person will choose the life values ​​​​that each person wants to live. This is the origin of the 16th century. The 'individualism' of the renaissance period. And your thoughts represent the insensitive mentality that is not your own business and you don't care."

"Yes, I am insensitive?! Xiao Xiao, what do you want me to do? Clap your hands to celebrate or loudly reprimand? I have accepted the traditional moral values ​​in China since I was a child. Of course, when encountering such a rare thing as you and your friends hide away."

"I'm sorry, Zhou Lin, I didn't blame you. What I want to tell you is: 'Equivalent exchange'. Frankly speaking, I believe in my individualism, but I also respect your individualism very much."

Zhou Lin didn't speak for a long time. Shen Xiaoxiao glanced at her and said, "I'm sorry, but I should respect your thoughts and attitudes. I understand that this is caused by the different worldviews, outlooks on life, and values ​​between Chinese and Americans. The difference. Since there are differences, it can be said that each individual is unique."

Zhou Lin leaned on the bed, looked at her sideways and said, "You are the angel and you are the devil. What else can I say? Xiao Xiao, I have no objection to you being with girls, but have you thought about what to do when you return to China?" ?”

Shen Xiaoxiao sat down, leaned against the head of the bed and smiled: "This is my own choice, I want to live my own life. If those guys don't allow my 'individualism' to exist, I think I will just You can choose to come back here."

"You mean to go back to the United States? Xiaoxiao, you have been here for more than ten years, haven't you stayed enough?"

"Zhou Lin, don't worry, I will not allow others to arbitrarily violate the value of my personal freedom."

"Well, since you are so confident, I believe in you. Just one thing, don't run back to the United States without saying a word, and never go back to Shanghai. Do you know that I will be very sad if you do this. "

"Wow, Zhou Lin, I'm so touched by your words! If you don't want to marry Shen Ying, let's come to America to settle down."

"Hey, you guys are not serious. I won't marry your elder brother, marry you?"

"That's great. You know, some states in the U.S. have passed same-sex marriage laws."

"I have nothing to say, okay?"

Xiao Xiao stood up, straightened her clothes and said, "Okay, there is still some time before the party ends. How about we happily go to the bachelor party held for you?"

Zhou Lin got off the bed with a smile, curled her lips and said, "Then you also called two striptease girls?"

Xiao Xiao walked towards the guest room door and said, "If you want to play, you have to play crazy, don't you?"
