Entering the room, Jiang Yan saw the iron-eating beast sitting on the sofa by the window and looking into the distance. Her eyes were randomly scattered on all the people and things that could be touched, and the expression on her face seemed to be enjoying it. Listen to
At the sound of the door being closed, the star turned around, her eyes rolling twice when she saw the disheveled Jiang Yan.
A smile appeared on the iron-eating beast's face, "Why, are you late for work and don't even have time to shave?"
After hearing this, Jiang Yan touched his chin. Indeed, there was some beard... This feeling has not happened for a long time. After all, his face has been so clean in the past few years that he doesn't even need to buy a razor. "Sorry, it was my negligence.
"I wonder if I should borrow the razor in the room? Just as Jiang Yan was hesitant to speak, the iron-eating beast shook his head to show that he didn't care.
"I thought you were a girl. You are much fairer than me. I felt a lot more comfortable when I saw that you could grow a beard." The iron-eating beast teased slightly, waving towards Jiang Yan. "First of all.
Let's not talk about that, come and take a look at this." Jiang Yan walked to the bedside, and the iron-eating beast casually grabbed his hair and pointed his other hand at a pedestrian outside the window.
"Look at that girl, isn't she very nice (beautiful)?" He followed the iron-eating beast's finger and looked at Jiang Yan for a long time, but he couldn't find where the girl the iron-eating beast mentioned was. "I wonder if I should go.
I have the same haircut, I think short hair looks pretty good too." The iron-eating beast held up his hair and gestured to the window, as if he was very confused about how to change his hairstyle.
"I don't understand what you're saying. After all, I've never seen you with short hair."
Hearing Jiang Yan's response, the iron-eater shook her hair. "Indeed, after all, I have always had long hair since I started making movies." After that, she jumped up and patted Jiang Yan on the shoulder, "Let's go.
."
Jiang Yan turned around in confusion, "Where are you going?"
"Let's find a place to get a haircut." The iron-eating beast said matter-of-factly, "You haven't tried this before, so let's give it a try." Seeing Jiang Shao about to stop him, the iron-eating beast crossed his arms.
The waist said, "Why, are you saying that it's not a good time to go out now?"
"What if you get recognized?"
"That's what if." The iron-eating beast said with a smile, "Besides, I don't know who is late for work. Obviously I paid money to be a companion, but this companion is not only late for work, but also takes care of his appearance.
Not good. The most outrageous thing is that I promised to take me around during the day and didn’t plan to finish it. Oops..."
Jiang Yan was speechless for a moment, "I thought we agreed that you would just carry it with you these days?"
"I just said stay, not how many days, right?" Iron Eater spread his hands, "I am Party A, and now I say stay is enough. Let's go out, Mr. Playmate. - Ah, put on the hat and mask
Put it on."
——
Now it seemed like an iron-eating beast was dragging Jiang Shao around. As soon as she walked out of the door, she walked in front of Jiang Shao. All Jiang Shao could do now was to follow her, unable to think of the next step.
How to arrange the action? The iron-eating beast didn't blame this useless "tour guide", and cooperated well in pretending not to be exposed. Just poking around aimlessly, the two adults
Just killing time doing nothing during the workday, and not attracting other attention.
"Is there any skirt with this design?"
The iron-eating beast stood in front of the window and looked at the mannequin, "Wow, I really can't figure out why clothes with this color are designed. Can anyone really wear them?" Then he looked at the man wearing this clothes in the advertisement.
I seemed to think the effect was surprisingly good, so I compared it with the clothes in the window.
"Sure enough, forget it, I probably don't want to wear this kind of clothes."
It feels like going shopping in a very ordinary way.
The iron-eating beast put a hand on Jiang Yan's shoulder and pulled him to the window, "What do you think?" Jiang Yan didn't understand what the iron-eating beast meant for a while, "I think it's about the same? After all, what kind of clothes should I wear?"
It’s all right.”
"Hey, you understand very well." The iron-eating beast said something unclear, and then explained, "But you didn't understand what I meant. I mean, what do you think of wearing this?"
Jiang Yan subconsciously thought along this line of thinking, and replaced the face in the photo with his own, and a moment of embarrassment appeared on his originally sullen face. "I don't think so." The iron-eating beast hooked his shoulder.
Without letting go, "Why not?"
"Look, this is women's clothing after all. It looks awkward for a man like me."
"Why is it awkward?" Iron-eating Beast asked, "Nowadays, there are many men who like to wear women's clothes, and the effect is actually not bad. Girls can wear men's clothes, but can't you accept boys wearing women's clothes? There are also operas and dramas.
It’s cross-dressing.”
This is really hard to refute. "... Even so, I don't object to people pursuing hobbies. But from a common rational point of view, I shouldn't look as good wearing this as a model, and it's not as suitable."
The iron-eater looked up and down Jiang Yan's figure, and then looked at the skirt in the window, "It's not that inappropriate, right?" She pointed at the model in the photo with her other finger, "I think this dress looks taller.
It will be more suitable for people of your height. It should be just right for your height. Moreover, the curves and fabrics are well handled. It is ornamental and does not expose the muscles that are exercised and ruin the sense of elegance. The contrasting colors are very good.
It’s so creative and looks so trendy when you wear it.”
The iron-eater's words made sense, but Jiang Yan's bitterness was still written on his face. "Let's forget it." Jiang Yan looked at the item in the window again that the iron-eater said he owned.
Clothes with many advantages, finally:
"I don't want to wear this kind of clothes."
The iron-eating beast withdrew its hand from Jiang Yan, "Well, there's nothing we can do about it." This unexpected move made Jiang Yan a little uncomfortable. Jiang Yan turned to the iron-eating beast, his eyes full of surprise.
He thought that the iron-eating beast would continue to use him to have some fun, but Jiang Yan was a little uncomfortable with giving up so readily.
The iron-eating beast had an indifferent expression on its face, "What's wrong?" Just looking at each other, the iron-eating beast scratched its head slightly irritably, "Hey, I just said you were quite understanding. I see you don't know anything now.
Got it!"
After that, the iron-eating beast kicked Jiang Hao on the calf. The force was not strong, and there was no sign of the attack at all, so Jiang Hao did not dodge. "Does it hurt?" "...It must hurt."
It's not like Jiang Yan didn't feel it. Even if Iron Eater wasn't serious as a trainer, he would still have the power to sweep his legs casually. After hearing Jiang Yan's reply, Iron Eater rolled his eyes in anger.
"I'm really stupid, I have to use such roundabout ways to enlighten you. If I say you are stupid, I'm afraid I'm just the same as you."
This series of actions confused Jiang Yan. The iron-eating beast pointed at itself, then at Jiang Yan, and then at the street on the other side. "Look, is there any difference between us? What is the difference between us and them?"
Is there a difference? If there is, then there are as many as there are: race, gender, hair color, body type, job, there are as many as you want. But in the final analysis, you will feel pain when you are hit, there is not much difference from us.
In the end, they are just human beings.”
"I've said so much, but I understand everything you said."
"No, you are pretending to understand." The iron-eating beast crossed his arms over his chest, "Since everyone is the same, there is actually no difference between many things and choosing clothes."
Seeing that Jiang Yan was indeed listening to her, the iron-eating beast continued:
"It doesn't really matter what clothes you wear. Because everyone actually needs to wear clothes to cover, package and protect themselves. What we say and do in front of others has the same purpose. People use clothes to cover themselves and say
This is the so-called 'civilization', and what you do in front of others is just to hide something. There is no essential difference between the two.
“But in the end, it’s up to each person to decide what clothes to choose, right?
"Clothes may be good or bad, but that's just maybe. Other things, dreams, goals, these things may also be good or bad. Good or bad are evaluations given by people, but these evaluations will not affect it.
Saying that it shouldn't affect what these things are in your heart at all.
"I can say that this dress has a thousand advantages, and how it suits you, but that doesn't affect you wearing it: it doesn't matter who you are, it doesn't matter your gender, it doesn't matter the design, it doesn't matter the dress. You just wear it.
Because you want to wear it, and similarly, if you don’t want to wear it, that’s fine. I can’t force you to wear it, won’t you resist?
"Obviously you will resist, but your resistance is not on point. You told me that boys cannot wear women's clothing, but there are also people who have such hobbies, and some even have the need to do so at work or other situations.
Wear it. You told me that this dress is not suitable for you, but you obviously meet many conditions for wearing it - there are many people who do not meet the same conditions and want to wear it. They just wear it.
The fundamental reason why you don't wear it is actually just that you don't want to wear it, so just say it directly and make this choice.
"Can't boys be nurses? Can't girls join the army? Obviously not, but some people still have such concerns, which are complicated shackles, some are called stereotypes, and some are called 'unfounded sense of responsibility or fear'.
Just like this, how many people are forced by irrelevant things to wear clothes they don’t like and make choices they don’t like. Things that they can obviously give up are okay, but they are held in their hands like life-saving straws. Why? Because?
What they are more afraid of is that when they put down these things, they will be laughed at by others if they are exposed.
"If you ask me, those ridicules are all self-deprecating. In fact, they are just sad for myself that I can't let go of my shackles."
Having said this, the iron-eating beast sighed. "Seeing you walking in with a troubled expression on your face, I knew you were just struggling with something insignificant: like whether I should do something that I can do.
, but I don’t want to do it. Wouldn’t this be too irresponsible? Your entanglement can only mean two things:
“First, you are essentially a good person, and your kindness makes your conscience feel responsible for things you could have done, an ‘arrogant sense of responsibility’.
"Two, you are a fool, you don't even know that you actually have the right to choose whether to wear that shackles or not.
"You are a very good friend, Jiang Yan. The few hours you took me to play in Longmen brought me much more happiness than the high-end accommodation and food I experienced when I came to Longmen so many times to film. I like it.
In fact, I just have ordinary happiness. I also want to go shopping, watch the excitement, and then get a different haircut on a whim. I think this is no different from many girls. Don’t think that just because I practice martial arts or film, it doesn’t mean that I don’t aspire to these things.
Ordinary happiness. But I still chose to listen to the arrangements of the agency, keep my hair and image, and then go to various places to film non-stop. Of course it is tiring, but I still choose to put on these shackles.
"Because I know that I like the expressions of people most when they are inspired by my image on the screen, and I like to bring the chivalry I understand to others. Maybe someday when I don't like these things so much, I will choose
Another thing, to implement my chivalry from other places - that's okay.
"Because those are the shackles I chose myself."
Jiang Yan was silent, and he looked at the skyline divided by tall buildings. Occasionally, he would feel that the sky was cut into pieces by the Longmen buildings, but in fact, if he wanted to, he could always choose to look at some sky that was not so closed off.
.
But it's not needed now.
His heart is not as closed as before.
Jiang Yan patted the iron-eating beast on the shoulder, "Do you want to practice two moves? After holding it in for so long, how about stretching your body bones?"
"That's a good idea! Is there a place?"
"Actually, I still have a fight club in name."
"Good guy, let's go!"
Human beings are creatures accustomed to carrying loads. If they don't carry something on their backs, they seem to be unable to survive.
But you can choose those shackles yourself, when to bear them and what to bear.
