Girlfriend blown away?

Tang Tian was also stunned when he saw it, then instinctively took a step back and looked up at the name of the store.

"Pink Adult Products Specialty Store."

Because the window was covered by a pink curtain, he didn't see the words above at first glance, so he really didn't know what kind of store it was.

A girlfriend who can be blown away, cough cough, this is really fresh and refined.

And they even specifically used "she" instead of "it," showing that this person really loved his girlfriend.

"Look up," Tang Tian said, seeing Olson still muttering there.

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

"Understand now?" Tang Tian said with a smile.

Olson shook her head.

"..."

Tang Tian was a little speechless. In his past life, Olson was remembered as sexy and charming, and she later starred in the R-rated American drama Oldboy. She should have been a more uninhibited woman.

But from their walk so far to her reaction now, why did she seem like a naive, innocent girl?

The subconscious impression formed a strong contrast with reality.

There seemed to be only one possibility: Olson was indeed a naive, innocent girl, but she gradually changed after spending a long time in the film and television industry.

This was completely normal. If a person never changed, they wouldn't be human.

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

"No, why does it say she was blown away?" Olson seemed genuinely curious about the answer.

"Inflatable girlfriend, adult products?" Seeing her reaction, Tang Tian had no choice but to be direct.

Olson finally understood, and her face instantly turned red.

"Let's, let's go look somewhere else," she said, taking a breath.

The two walked around the mall.

Olson asked Tang Tian what he wanted to eat, while Tang Tian asked Olson about any dietary restrictions or flavor preferences.

They finally sat down at a Western restaurant.

"You're such a gentleman," Olson couldn't help but say after sitting down.

She was supposed to be treating Tang Tian to dinner, but in the end, he picked a restaurant she was more comfortable with.

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

But as soon as he finished speaking, he felt it wasn't quite right; that seemed to be from his past life.

"You know, in China, there are Western, Chinese, and all sorts of cuisines," he added.

Olson laughed when she heard this. Tang Tian was even making excuses for his gentlemanly behavior.

While they were talking, the waiter began serving their food.

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

"No, I was just looking around. But Hepburn is indeed very beautiful. I've seen the movie War and Peace." Tang Tian knew about the book Olson had mentioned. He hadn't seen the book, but Hepburn's name was in the title.

Olson couldn't help but laugh again. Tang Tian was very honest sometimes.

"Is it useful? Does that book help with your acting?" Tang Tian continued.

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

"What movie?"

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

Although Tang Tian knew a lot about the American entertainment industry in his past life, it was only a part of it. He couldn't possibly know the entire experience of every American actress. He knew Olson played Marvel's Scarlet Witch, but he really didn't know what her first movie was.

"I think for your acting, roles that are morally ambiguous, or those that seem bad but are actually good, might suit you very well," Tang Tian suggested.

"Why?" Olson asked curiously. Her first movie was a rather conventional one, and her character was quite playful.

Although Tang Tian hadn't acted in many movies in his past life, he had invested in countless others. He understood this field quite well and knew the reason for Olson's eventual fame.

"Let me put it from a regular audience's perspective. When we watch a movie, we first look at the person, right?"

Olson nodded in agreement.

"So, basically, the appearance of a person forms a subconscious impression in our minds. For example, Hepburn, whom you mentioned, her characteristic was beauty, a kind of beauty that is pure despite its surroundings. Therefore, she was the most suitable actress for War and Peace. A delicate white lotus in the midst of war and chaos – isn't that what the audience loves to see?" Tang Tian explained.

Olson seemed to gain some insight upon hearing this. She even couldn't help but look at Tang Tian again.

Was this really someone two years younger than her?

"Then there's you. Your eyes are very captivating, giving off an exotic aura, like a sorceress from mysterious legends who can charm people's hearts. One look from you can captivate your opponent, and your figure is almost perfect, capable of instantly piquing someone's interest. Such a woman's first impression is one of seductive allure. But if her character is morally ambiguous or even purely heroic, wouldn't it give the audience a sense of acceptance while also creating a sense of contrast? Naturally, the audience would remember her."

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

What Tang Tian said was, in fact, very accurate. By using Hepburn as an example as a prelude, even the latter part of his speech could serve as a textbook example for actor evaluation.

But perhaps he was too engrossed, as he didn't even realize he had thoroughly praised Olson in his words.

Her eyes were captivating, exotic, alluring, and intriguing. Saying these things to Olson's face was equivalent to complimenting her beauty and charm, and in a very strong way at that.

Judging by her reaction to the inflatable girlfriend earlier, Olson was still a naive sweetheart. It would be strange if she didn't blush after Tang Tian praised her so directly.

The atmosphere seemed to grow a little awkward.

"Sir, your fruit salad." Just then, a waiter came over.

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

The waiter left after placing the salad down, but the atmosphere between the two seemed to linger.

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

"Bread? Fly?" Olson looked bewildered.

Tang Tian nodded.

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

Tang Tian shook his head.

"Because it's flying bread."

Olson froze for a moment upon hearing this. What flying bread was there in the world?

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

Olson rolled her eyes. Was that what they called flying?

"Do you know why mice can fly?" Tang Tian ignored Olson's eye-roll and continued to ask.
