Chapter 275: The gap between them was immediately apparent; a successful breakthrough!

He had truly poured his heart and soul into this film, and it was a rare and exceptional piece of space science fiction.

Xu Can looked out at the crowd below the stage.

Some of them were not offering their congratulations from the bottom of their hearts.

Yet, Xu Can still held the stage in high regard; this award was truly fair.

Especially the Oscars—their data could not lie, and the public’s affection was reflected in those numbers.

Some people were always prone to harboring twisted suspicions about others, but Xu Can had relied entirely on his own genuine strength.

After all, who else could remember so many film scripts that had already achieved success?

Possessing memories of his past life was an opportunity for him.

Xu Can never hesitated to use this skill.

Especially at this current stage.

After the awards ceremony, Xu Can still provided funds for the rest of his team to go out and celebrate.

Being overly harsh on others would only increase their work pressure, which was not conducive to everyone continuing their future collaborations.

Xu Can would not force them to work excessively while they were supposed to be resting.

"Our director having such a tradition is truly rare; it’s a fine tradition, especially since the boss wins awards until his hands go soft, and our team dinners are just too awesome!"

The staff member looked at him with admiration.

They had never followed such a good boss before.

"Alright, stop flattering me here. If you don't go now, I might just change my mind!"

The staff members hurriedly took the card and left!

As soon as he returned to the villa, he found it brightly lit inside.

He had originally assumed it was Taylor.

Because of work over the past few days, he hadn't spent much time with Taylor, and he figured she might be acting a little temperamental.

Xu Can skillfully draped his clothes over the rack nearby.

He walked toward the kitchen as he usually did.

He was truly too tired today.

Xu Can walked forward with his eyes half-closed.

He was so tired he could barely walk, but he still wanted to recharge by leaning against Taylor's back.

Thus, he didn't even see clearly who the woman in front of him was.

Seeing that Xu Can had been busy with the Captain America film during the day and had rushed to attend the awards ceremony in the evening, Black Widow had noticed how exhausted he was the moment he stepped off the stage!

She figured that after returning home, he wouldn't have time to cook, and eating those unnutritious takeout meals certainly wouldn't be good for his health.

Since the last gathering, Black Widow had memorized the passcode here.

She had come to the villa on her own initiative.

She had been terrified, not knowing if she would run into Taylor, but when she saw the place was pitch black, she knew she had bet correctly.

At least the two of them wouldn't be too awkward; Black Widow also wanted to do something for Xu Can with her own actions.

Otherwise, she would feel like she hadn't made any effort, and she would have regrets.

The distance between Xu Can and her had to be closed through her own strength.

She had bought the freshest vegetables and seafood from the supermarket.

During their daily gatherings, Black Widow had precisely memorized Xu Can's favorite dishes.

It was all for this day!

When she hugged him from behind, Xu Can suddenly smelled a different scent.

Taylor never used this brand of perfume.

And this brand of perfume belonged to Black Widow!

Xu Can wasn't disgusted, but he was somewhat startled; he snapped his eyes open and pulled away from her back.

He had simply mistaken her for someone else.

"Why are you here?"

When those large hands had come up, Black Widow had been very excited at first, and the smile on her lips hadn't faded—until she heard those words!

When she hugged him from behind, she felt as if they were living their lives together, just like an ordinary couple.

If only it could stay like this forever, if time could stop at this very moment, she didn't know how happy she would be!

But she hadn't expected Xu Can to respond like that.

"I came to cook for you. Seeing how exhausted you were at the awards ceremony, I figured no one would be cooking when you got back, so I came over..."

Looking at her with her head bowed, Xu Can could guess exactly what she was thinking.

But since a beauty was in his arms, why would he refuse?

Seeing how flustered she was, Xu Can feigned a relaxed tone.

"I can smell it; it really does smell delicious."

"Now that you mention it, I am a bit hungry. I'm really looking forward to your cooking tonight."

Black Widow was pleasantly surprised.

She hurriedly stirred the food in the pot.

"I specifically learned these Chinese dishes; I hope you like them!"

"Thank you for your hard work. You put a lot of thought into this."

Black Widow shyly shook her head.

This was just what she should do.

"You should go take a hot shower first and relax your body properly. You've really been too exhausted lately..."

When Xu Can came out wrapped in a bath towel, the dining table was already filled with food!

This was indeed a great temptation for him.

Coming home from work to find a woman waiting for you, having prepared a table full of food—this was a warmth he hadn't experienced in a long time.

He couldn't help but keep staring at Black Widow's face.

Unfortunately, his girlfriend was already confirmed to be Taylor.

There definitely had to be a place for Taylor in his heart; as for whether others could squeeze in, it would depend on their performance.

"Try it first and see if it's edible. It's my first time trying to cook Chinese food for someone else; I don't know if it suits your taste!"

Xu Can smiled slightly, and as he lowered his head, the collar of his bathrobe loosened a little.

Black Widow turned her head away, feeling a bit shy.

But she also lingered, unable to look away.

He was indeed too tired, and after eating his fill, Xu Can fell into a deep sleep.

He didn't even manage to take care of the great beauty beside him.

Recently, besides the film, he also had to deal with public opinion.

And there were awards ceremonies one after another.

His body was truly exhausted; he didn't even have time to check his phone.

Taylor had already sent him a message saying she had other activities tonight and couldn't come to Xu Can's place to take care of him!

But Taylor never imagined that someone had already taken advantage of the situation.

However, Xu Can's constitution for attracting female fans was always present.

Black Widow cleaned up the place until it was spotless.

She didn't know why, but cleaning up at Xu Can's place gave her a sense of accomplishment and happiness.

When she was at her own place, she really didn't want to move at all.

After finishing, she cautiously went to Xu Can's bedroom, not knowing if she would wake him up.

Walking on tiptoe, she discovered that Xu Can was already fast asleep.

He must have been too exhausted; his body had already entered a state of deep sleep.

Black Widow quietly moved closer to Xu Can's body.

Even her breathing became rapid.
