Chapter 108

"We drove slowly past, did you notice my thoughts?"

"I gave my all, not letting you see I had fallen for you."

When this line was sung, the Taylor Swift beside him hummed along softly, harmonizing perfectly with the voice on the radio.

What is the experience of hearing the original singer's live reverb right in your ear while listening to a song?

Most crucially, while Taylor Swift sang, her eyes were gazing tenderly at Xu Can.

"You are so captivating, with your hand running through my hair"

"You make me drunk with love, wanting to claim you as my own"

"I wonder if there is anything in this world better than this"

"You gently take my hand, running forward"

"The me of this moment fears nothing..."

Before Taylor Swift had finished singing, Xu Can could no longer hold back; he decisively leaned in and kissed her rosy red lips.

"Hm?!"

The last surprise ambush was at the SNL live show, where Xu Can, dressed as Spider-Man, hung upside down and stole a fleeting kiss from Taylor Swift.

This time, it definitely wasn't an accident.

It was intentional! (With righteous confidence)

For the second ambush, Taylor Swift naturally hadn't expected it either; she widened her eyes, her pupils filled with astonishment.

But very quickly, she closed her eyes and completely surrendered.

The singing on the radio was now something the two busy people could no longer pay attention to.

"I don't know why, but when I'm with you, I'm happy to dance with you"

"Put on my most magnificent gown, even in the eye of the storm, I fear nothing"

"... I want to spend this wonderful moment with you in the passenger seat"

Moments later, the two people so close they could touch looked at each other; if they didn't breathe air soon, they would suffocate, and the car was already stuffy to begin with.

"I, I should go up, it's so late..."

Panic, infatuation, and joy in Taylor Swift's voice intertwined, completely becoming a mixed-up palette.

"Do you have any drinks at your place? I'm a bit thirsty."

Xu Can's gaze was burning hot, like a seasoned hunter catching that darting gaze.

"Um, no... I don't usually drink beverages."

"Tap water is fine too."

"Alright... then, then let's go up."

If Taylor Swift wanted to refuse, with her personality she wouldn't be polite to anyone; she would refuse decisively at the first moment.

Clearly, she was also somewhat confused; Xu Can pressed his advantage, planning to push the high ground in one wave and take the crystal directly.

Just as he was about to open the car door and get out, Xu Can's phone suddenly rang.

"Won't you answer the phone?"

"No need, it's probably an insurance salesman, not important."

"Answer it, what if there's an emergency looking for you?"

Taylor Swift grabbed Xu Can's phone a step ahead and pressed the call button.

"Xu, is that you?"

It was a strange woman's voice, yet it seemed very familiar.

Taylor Swift raised her eyebrows and handed the phone to Xu Can.

There was no choice; he could only deal with it first.

"You are..."

"I'm Christine, we just met... Emma is drunk, would it be convenient for you to come pick her up?"

Ah, this...

I remember Stone Sister has a good tolerance for alcohol; how did she get drunk?

"OK, you help take care of her for now."

Xu Can hurriedly called his assistant Vanessa, but the female assistant apologized repeatedly.

"I'm really sorry, boss, I had a bit of alcohol eating with my family today, and I'm afraid I can't drive."

Xu Can was just about to end the game in one wave, but he didn't expect a twist?

"Xu..."

After hanging up the phone, Taylor Swift grabbed Xu Can's hand from the side.

"You go pick up Emma; you are... good friends, she probably needs your help. I'll go up now; let's go out together next time."

"But..."

Before Xu Can could finish speaking, he was interrupted spellcasting by Taylor Swift's fragrant kiss.

"Alright, go quickly."

Taylor Swift cheerfully opened the car door, waved her hand, and walked coolly into the apartment.

Xu Can watched her back and had to step on the gas to leave.

Letting others take care of Emma was not reassuring; calling a designated driver or taking a taxi was even more impossible; the simple folk customs of Los Santos meant public safety was still worrying.

Taylor Swift's kiss just now was a reassurance pill for Xu Can.

Her feelings wouldn't change; taking the crystal later was only a matter of time; there was no need to rush.

It was also possible that she sensed Xu Can's entanglement with other women, and Taylor Swift sobered up from her infatuation.

The pairing of Gwyneth and Spider-Man is one of the most famous couples in Hollywood right now.

Anyone with half a brain knows that something must have happened between Xu Can and Emma Stone.

Who could just stand by and watch the man they like not belong to them alone?

……

"Is Emma okay?"

"She's just drunk and just fell asleep."

At the Twilight party, a group of young people were already drunk and having fun by the pool.

Kristen 2.1 stayed with Emma on the living room sofa, waiting for Xu Can.

"Whoa, quite heavy."

Anyone who has often carried a drunk girl knows that no matter how light they usually are, at that moment they are quite heavy.

"Let me help you."

Xu Can princess-carried Emma, while Kristen helped open the door and laid her down in the back seat.

"I'll come over with you first, it's not convenient for you alone."

Kristen looks like a cool girl, but she's quite warm-hearted.

"Okay, thanks."

Back at his own apartment, the two worked together to lay Emma on the bed.

Unfortunately Stone Sister couldn't hold it in and threw up all over Kristen.

Xu Can was quite embarrassed: "How about you wash up? I have some unworn T-shirts and beach shorts here, you can change out of your clothes."

"Okay, thanks."

Kristen Stewart was quite helpless and had no choice but to take off her clothes and go to the bathroom to rinse off.

Xu Can had just settled Emma Stone when he suddenly heard a commotion from the bathroom.

"Could it be…"

Xu Can sensed something was wrong and hurriedly knocked on the door to ask about the situation.

The shower was still spraying water inside the bathroom, but no one answered.

"What kind of situation is this?"

Xu Can gritted his teeth, opened the door and rushed in — Kristen Stewart had indeed fainted on the floor.

Presumably it was hypoglycemia triggered by showering while drunk that caused the faint.

With no other choice, Xu Can had to carry Kristen without avoiding impropriety, help dry her off with a bath towel, and place her in the guest room.

Just as he set her down, something unexpected happened.

Kristen instinctively clung to him like an octopus, wrapping her arms around Xu Can's neck,
