Naive Sweetheart

Girlfriend got blown away?

When Tang Tian saw it, he froze for a moment too. Then he unconsciously took a step back and looked up at the store's name.

"Pink Adult Products Specialty Store."

With a pink curtain covering the window, if you did not notice the words above at first glance, you really would not know what kind of store it was.

A girlfriend who could be blown away... Ahem, that was certainly fresh and unconventional.

And they had even deliberately used "she" instead of "it." It was clear that this person really loved his girlfriend.

"Look up." Seeing Olson still muttering to herself, Tang Tian reminded her.

Olson looked up in confusion, and her face reddened slightly when she saw the store name.

"Get it now?" Tang Tian asked with a smile.

Olson shook her head.

"..."

Tang Tian was a little speechless. In his memories from his previous life, Olson had been sexy and charming. Later, she had even appeared in the R-rated TV series Oldboy, so she should have been the relatively bold type of woman.

But after traveling together all this way, and seeing her reaction now, why did she seem more like a naive sweetheart?

The impression in his subconscious stood in stark contrast to reality.

It seemed there was only one possibility: Olson really was a naive sweetheart. She had merely changed gradually after spending a long time in the entertainment industry.

That was perfectly normal. If a person never changed at all, they would not really be human.

"All right, let's go look somewhere else," Tang Tian said.

"No, why did it say she got blown away?" Olson genuinely seemed to want an answer.

"An inflatable girlfriend. Adult product?" Seeing her reaction, Tang Tian had no choice but to spell it out.

Only then did Olson understand, and her face instantly turned red.

"Let's... go look somewhere else," she said after letting out a breath.

The two of them walked around the mall once.

Olson asked Tang Tian what he wanted to eat, while Tang Tian asked Olson whether she had any dietary restrictions and what flavors she liked.

In the end, they sat down at a Western restaurant.

"You really are a gentleman," Olson could not help saying after they sat down.

She had originally been the one treating Tang Tian to dinner, yet they had ended up choosing a restaurant she was more comfortable with.

"I've eaten everything. I can eat anything," Tang Tian replied instinctively.

But as soon as he said it, he felt that it was inappropriate. That seemed to have been something from his previous life.

"You know, in China, we have all kinds of food—Western food, Chinese food, everything," he added.

Olson burst out laughing. Tang Tian was even finding excuses for his gentlemanly behavior.

As they spoke, the waiter began serving their dishes.

"Do you like Audrey Hepburn too?" Olson asked.

"No, I was just looking around. But Hepburn really was beautiful. I've seen the movie War and Peace." Tang Tian knew Olson was referring to the book from that day. Although he had not seen the book, Hepburn's name was in the title.

Olson could not help laughing again. Tang Tian could be very straightforward sometimes.

"Was it useful? That book, for your acting?" Tang Tian continued.

"It was. The first movie I'm going to be in is related to her."

"What movie?"

"It's a secret," Olson said with a smile.

Tang Tian had known quite a bit about the American entertainment industry in his previous life, but only parts of it. It was impossible for him to know every American actress's history inside out. He knew Olson had played Marvel's Scarlet Witch, but if someone asked what Olson's first movie was, he truly did not know.

"I think if you act, you might be especially good at roles that are neither entirely good nor evil, or the kind that seem bad at first but are actually good," Tang Tian suggested.

"Why?" Olson asked curiously. Her first movie had been rather wholesome, and her role had been the playful type as well.

Although Tang Tian had not acted in many movies in his previous life, he had invested in countless films. He knew this field quite well, and he also understood very clearly why Olson could become famous.

"Let me put it from an ordinary audience member's perspective. When we watch a movie, the first thing we see is the person, right?"

Olson nodded as she listened.

"Basically, the way someone looks forms a subconscious impression in our minds. Take Hepburn, whom you mentioned earlier. Her defining trait was beauty—the kind of beauty untouched by the mud around her. That made her the perfect actress for War and Peace. A beauty in troubled times, a pure white lotus trembling amid the smoke of war—wasn't that exactly what audiences loved to see?" Tang Tian said.

Olson seemed to gain some insight after hearing that, and she could not help looking at Tang Tian again.

Was he really two years younger than her?

"And then there's you. Your eyes are very captivating. They give off an exotic charm, like a beautiful witch from some mysterious legend, one who could bewitch people with a single glance. Your figure is almost perfect too, enough to catch someone's interest immediately. A woman like that gives off a wickedly alluring impression at first glance. But if her character is morally ambiguous, or even outright righteous, wouldn't that make her easier to accept while also creating a sense of contrast? Naturally, the audience would remember her deeply."

By the time Tang Tian finished, Olson's face was already flushed red.

What Tang Tian said was actually very right. He had used Hepburn as an example to build up his point, and what he said afterward could even serve as a textbook example of how to judge an actor's potential.

But perhaps he had become too absorbed in his explanation. He had not even realized that he had lavishly praised Olson throughout it.

Captivating eyes, exotic charm, wicked allure, catching people's interest—saying all that in front of Olson was basically telling her she was beautiful and charming, and praising her intensely at that.

Judging from her earlier reaction to the inflatable girlfriend, Olson was still a naive sweetheart. How could she not blush when Tang Tian praised her so directly?

The atmosphere seemed a little ambiguous.

"Sir, your fruit salad," the waiter said at that moment.

"Mm, put it here," Olson said, her face red.

The waiter set down the salad and left, but the atmosphere between them seemed to remain.

"Do you know why bread can fly?" Tang Tian suddenly asked, glancing at the pineapple bun in front of him.

"Bread? Can fly?" Olson looked utterly confused.

Tang Tian nodded.

"Because it's on an airplane?" Olson thought for a moment before answering.

Tang Tian shook his head.

"Because it's flying bread."

Olson froze for a moment after hearing that. How could there be flying bread in this world?

Tang Tian picked up the bread with his fork and slowly waved it a few times in front of Olson.

Olson rolled her eyes. That counted as flying?

"Do you know why mice can fly?" Ignoring Olson's eye roll, Tang Tian continued asking.
