Chapter 28

Happy heard this and wished he could strangle Xu Can through the phone.

"Jesus, are you kidding me? Other stars would sharpen their heads to squeeze into this kind of opportunity, and you, you actually want to hide?"

"It's very boring, a bunch of people chatting hypocritically."

"Xu, remember, you are already a quasi-first-tier male star in Hollywood! If *Spider-Man 2* maintains its word-of-mouth, you will be a first-tier male star!"

Honestly, Xu Can didn't really see himself as a star.

In his concept, an actor is an actor, and he wasn't interested in the vanity fair... uh, he was still interested in making money.

In his past life, Xu Can admired Lana Del Rey in the Western pop music scene, as well as the heartthrob Keanu Reeves.

They never considered themselves stars, never overexposed themselves by attending various social occasions,

and no matter how much they earned, their daily food and clothing were quite simple.

Xu Can became famous overnight, but he had no concept of his own popularity.

His mentality was exactly the same as when he was an extra.

Until he got up, washed, and prepared to ride his bike to the shopping center to buy some groceries.

Just as he got on the bike and hadn't even ridden two steps, Xu Can was stopped by passersby.

"Oh my god~ Oh! My! God!"

"Huh?"

Xu Can looked confused, watching the 4 young and beautiful girls in front of him screaming around him.

The noon in California in winter wasn't cold, the sun was quite bright, and they were even dressed quite thinly, giving Xu Can a feeling of "surging waves."

"You're Spider-Man!! Peter Parker!!"

"Can I take a photo with you? Please, Peter!"

"Move aside, I saw him first, his name is Xu Can... Xu, I'm your fan, can we take a photo?"

The blonde white girl was at most 20, her voice quite sweet and sticky; she directly hugged Xu Can's arm, feeling soft.

"I want to too, Xu, I'm your fan too!"

"Okay, okay, one by one."

In this scene, what man wouldn't be confused?

Xu Can picked up the marker given by the girl, first signing on the notebook, then signing on the girl's T-shirt.

The last girl directly pulled down her collar slightly.

"Can you sign here?"

Xu Can swallowed, still maintaining the cool and aloof heartthrob persona on the surface.

"Since you asked..."

*Swish, swish, swish*, after signing his big name on the snow-white area, the girl even leaned in and gave him a fragrant kiss.

The elegant and free-spirited Chinese characters left these white girls in awe; they wished they could tattoo them on themselves.

Xu Can had just prepared to ride away when he was surrounded by another group of fans.

The commotion just now was too big, so everyone discovered him!

Who told him this was the busiest downtown area in Los Santos?

"Damn, I must buy a luxury mansion in Beverly Hills later! And, it's time to buy a car."

It's not a solution to always be surrounded and intercepted by fans when going out by bike.

Later, it alarmed the LAPD, and relying on the officers to maintain order, Xu Can finally escaped smoothly.

The price was that Xu Can took photos with the officers and signed his name on their police car.

"Xu! *Spider-Man* is just too great! Hurry up with the second one, we can't wait!"

"It's being filmed, it's being filmed!"

"NBC reporter reporting live for you!"

"I believe I don't need to say much about the hottest movie in North America recently. I don't believe there's anyone who hasn't seen *Spider-Man*! Except for the poor souls who can't buy tickets."

"Because the film broke the opening weekend box office record and has a chance to break the 500 million North American box office mark, strongly impacting the annual box office champion... Sony Entertainment is holding a celebration party at the Beverly Hills Hotel today, and celebrities from all walks of life in Hollywood have come to congratulate."

"From an extra to famous overnight, Xu Can is the well-deserved protagonist tonight! Media reports say that at noon today, Xu Can was surrounded by fans on the street, causing traffic paralysis in some blocks..."

"Everyone, look in the direction of my finger, that is Xu Can's ride today..."

Before the reporter could finish, the flashbulbs at the scene lit up like crazy, even more exaggerated than the day of the premiere!

Xu Can, in a black suit, was simply a graceful young gentleman, walking onto the red carpet with Emma Stone, heading toward the venue.

"Spider-Man! Spider-Man! Gwen—"

The surrounding fans were already too excited to control themselves.

"Being famous is really troublesome." Xu Can sighed secretly.

Emma looked at him charmingly:

"This is just the beginning; you will definitely be more popular later, my big star."

"You've become a star, your little mouth is really sweet, come and act out a kiss scene."

"There are so many people here!"

Stone's fair face turned red.

"I'll go to your place tonight and let you act out the kiss scene enough." **CHAPTER 54**

"Mm... wait, Xu."

"Mm... Xu, stop, you stop for a second."

On the sofa in Xu Can's apartment, Emma Stone pushed him away with a shy and helpless smile.

The two were halfway through a kiss scene, and Xu Can hadn't even started to get into the state, so he was a bit puzzled when he was suddenly interrupted.

"What's wrong? Can't breathe?"

"No, I just want to know... what is our relationship now?"

"Dating partners."

"Then do you have any other thoughts?"

Emma lowered her head, a bit uneasy.

To be honest, Xu Can did like Emma Stone, but it hadn't reached the level of deep love.

The current dating state was very good; dating together, having fun together, and supporting each other in the chaotic Hollywood.

He didn't have a very strong desire to change the state for the time being.

If he really lied to confirm the relationship and gave Stone the wrong expectations, perhaps she would be even sadder later.

"You know, my current focus is temporarily on the filming of the new movie."

Xu Can looked into her eyes.

"Being with you is very happy and very blissful. However, before confirming my own heart, I can't give any promises."

He didn't plan to use flowery words to deceive her feelings; it was all the truth.

Stone was indeed a bit disappointed, but she could still understand Xu Can.

There are so many Hollywood couples and spouses; how many pairs can make it to the end?

Breaking up and getting back together, making a mess, fattening up the media and paparazzi, giving the public gossip, and in the end, nothing.

Even promises are illusory; it's better to forget those and enjoy the present.

At least there's no need to worry about Xu Can cheating and finding a mistress; a high-quality heartthrob like him will definitely attract more young and beautiful female stars.

For example, Emma Roberts, the 16-year-old little green tea, was already pestering Xu Can.

During the filming process, she would touch Xu Can from time to time, wishing she could stick to him.

Emma Stone was much more relieved, but still a little jealous.

"Woo... since we are in a dating state, I also have the right to date other male stars..."

Emma muttered resentfully, and was grabbed by the wrist by Xu Can and pressed onto the sofa. **CHAPTER 55**
