Chapter 151: Signed A-Sis, Squat-Sis, and Thunder-Sis? *La La Land* Starts Filming!
"So you're saying, after you finish the musical with her, you're going to shoot the Spider-Man sequel?"
"That's the situation."
"Emmm…"
"What is it?"
"It's just that I feel uneasy about it. Speaking of which, what exactly are we now? And what are you and her?"
In the candlelight, Taylor Swift's gaze drifted, her red lips strikingly vivid.
The violin ensemble in the lavish restaurant was playing their hearts out; at this moment, only the melodious strains of "Por una Cabeza" could be heard.
The classic violin piece "One Step Further" from *Scent of a Woman*.
The air grew dry, and Xu Can seemed to be standing once more at a pivotal moment in the galgame.
Actually, if he made up his mind, focusing on a single route wouldn't be hard.
The key was that Xu Can himself didn't know the answer—or perhaps that answer was simply too greedy.
Right now, the feeling Taylor Swift gave him was like a free trial card expired, about to enter the VIP paid tier.
Taylor Swift's gaze, full of expectation at first, gradually grew anxious…
Fortunately, Xu Can responded to her quickly.
"How about I do a magic trick for you?"
"Sure."
Under Taylor Swift's puzzled gaze, Xu Can cupped his left hand in the air, then took a napkin from the table with his right, stuffed it into his palm, and pinched it into a long strip that poked out.
Then, amid Taylor Swift's panic, he pulled out a lighter and set the napkin on fire!
The napkin quickly flared into flame, and then, as his hand swayed, a rose suddenly appeared in Xu Can's hand.
In the not-so-distant background, the violin melody had already shifted from "One Step Further" to Taylor Swift's new song "Love Story,"
Xu Can smiled as he looked at the just-turned-eighteen, golden-haired, red-lipped girl—the song's owner, Taylor Swift.
"What do you think our relationship is now?"
"Ahhhhh…"
Though Xu Can hadn't answered the question directly, Taylor Swift had already covered her mouth, excitedly thrown herself onto his lap, and thrown her arms around Xu Can's neck.
"Are-we-in-a-serious-relationship? Does this mean we're officially together?"
Taylor Swift gazed at the Chinese man right before her, her eyes full of anticipation.
"Of course…"
Xu Can quoted her own lyrics.
"You'll become the Princess, and I'll be your Prince."
Taylor Swift took the rose, her heart fluttering like a startled fawn, and leaned in to kiss him.
Xu Can had finally officially confirmed their romantic relationship with her, which meant the two of them were officially dating.
Her uneasy heart gradually settled; although there were still plenty of external threats, Xu Can's attitude was already enough.
Watching the beaming Taylor Swift, Xu Can let out a slight sigh of relief.
In that brief instant just now, his brain had been racing at full speed—sneakily plucking a rose from the nearby flower bed and using a sleight-of-hand technique he'd learned earlier to pull off the magic trick, dazzling her into buying it.
Xu Can knew that if his attitude remained any more vague, given Taylor Swift's bold, love-and-hate-without-fear personality, she would have walked out on the spot.
Trying to win her back after that would have been harder than reaching the heavens.
He might even hear a song she'd written for him by next month.
Taylor Swift's side was temporarily handled; he might as well give Stone Sister a proper status too—otherwise she'd be pretty pitiful.
"Can't be helped, gotta keep things fair. I'm really such a good man."
