She changed into a looser home outfit and took off her high heels and put on soft slippers.

Gu Ran noticed that she had just put on some powder on her face and her eyes were slightly red.

Gu Ran quickly asked: "Annie, what's wrong with you?"

Anne had a happy smile on her face. "I'm fine - wow, it smells good! Is that what you cooked? It looks delicious."

Gu Ran: ...

Don't brag, really.

Annie came to the dining table and took a deep sniff. "I have never smelled such delicious food before. Gu, you are amazing! You can make such delicious food by yourself. I am so lucky to share the house with you!"

...Don’t praise me, seriously, I still have some shame!

Gu Ran cleared his throat and said, "Eat it while it's hot."

Anne looked around, "Okay... Sorry, where's the knife and fork?"

Knife and fork? You're eating steak here? I have to take this opportunity to embarrass you!

Gu Ran handed Annie the chopsticks he had prepared long ago, "Use these. A knife and fork will destroy the integrity of the food before it enters your mouth. The standard way to eat Chinese food is to use chopsticks."

Foreigners are used to using knives and forks, so they would definitely resist if they were asked to use chopsticks... I guess.

Anne took the chopsticks excitedly, "Great! I've wanted to learn how to use chopsticks for a long time! It's very popular in Hollywood to eat Chinese food with chopsticks, it feels so classy! As a star, I'm usually too embarrassed to practice in front of others, but today I can finally do it without any pressure!"

Annie started to pick up the food with her chopsticks. Her clumsy movements were cute and happy, as if she had finally played the game she had always wanted to play but never had the chance to play...

Gu Ran, who was sitting opposite, was completely numb.

What's going on?

Annie, why don't you play by the rules? You should be angry! You are a big star, you should have a big star's temper! You...

Seeing that Annie tried for two minutes but failed to pick up a piece of meat, Gu Ran felt anxious for her.

But Annie didn't seem anxious at all. Instead, she smiled softly, "Sorry, I only know how to use chopsticks, and I'm not very good at picking up food... Gu, can you teach me how to pick up food?"

Holy shit…

Is this a dirty talk? No, no, no, Anne Hathaway, a silly and innocent goddess, doesn't know what a dirty talk is! It must be my young body that is imagining things! Gu Ran tried to calm down, "...Okay. The action of pinching is simple to say, but it is actually a very advanced technique. First, you need to figure out the point of force, don't use force randomly, but integrate yourself with the two chopsticks, so that your force can be concentrated on one point."

"Integrate with the chopsticks..." Annie blinked her beautiful big eyes and said weakly: "Sorry, Gu, I don't understand. If you don't mind, can you teach me in a simpler way?"

An easier way?

Gu Ran frowned slightly: "Then... I can only teach you step by step."

Anne said expectantly, "Is it okay?"

Holy shit…

I would be a fool to refuse such a good thing! Gu Ran suppressed his pounding heart and said reluctantly, "Well, okay then."

After saying that, Gu Ran stood beside Annie and reluctantly held Annie's white jade-like hand.

Anne's arms trembled slightly, but soon returned to normal.

The back of her hand was smooth and the skin was very thin. She could feel the beauty of her bones and Gu Ran's own pounding heartbeat.

Gu Ran instantly felt something violently hitting his brain.

At this moment, Gu Ran was completely unconscious.

This was the first time he came into contact with a real Hollywood star.

Not to mention that his young body has never seen the world, even his body in his previous life has never experienced such a world!

Gu Ran really wanted to rush out of the villa and laugh loudly at the boundless sea: Hahahaha! I touched Anne Hathaway's hand! Hahahaha! "Gu? Gu?" Anne's little hand was held tightly in Gu Ran's hand, and she immediately felt a little embarrassed.

"Oh." Gu Ran said seriously, "I was just thinking about how to use chopsticks."

Annie asked in surprise: "Aren't you Chinese? I thought you Chinese people knew how to do this since birth!"

"Yes, I have remembered it."

Gu Ran held Annie's hand and helped her get the chopsticks in the right position. Then he used his arm to guide Annie's arm to move to the dark dish, Sweet and Sour Pork Tenderloin. "First find the target, put it between the two chopsticks, and then use force to clamp it inwards at the same time..."

"Wow!" Annie was excited. This was the first time in her life that she had picked up a piece of sweet and sour pork! Gu Ran said calmly, "Don't worry, hold on, keep it tight, yes, keep it tight while moving steadily... OK, now open your mouth..."

Anne immediately opened her mouth obediently.

…Her mouth is so big, and the curve of her lips when she opens is so beautiful.

Big mouth beauty.

Gu Ran held Annie's hand and put the sweet and sour pork into Annie's big mouth.

Next, we just have to wait for Annie’s negative emotions to explode.

Gu Ran was mentally prepared to pick up bubbles of negative emotions.

really!

Anne's face changed! Then, Anne chewed it twice quickly, "...Oh my God! Oh my God! This is...too delicious, isn't it?"

Gu Ran: ??? It’s so delicious?

Annie, are you making fun of me? Eh? You really swallowed it? Gu Ran was completely numb! Annie took the second piece of sweet and sour pork tenderloin by herself and put it into her mouth, enjoying it happily.

"It's delicious! Oh my God! It's really delicious!"

“It’s so delicious that I want to cry!”

"Gu, did you secretly use magic? Why is this dish crispy and sour and sweet on the outside, and the meat inside is sweet and fragrant? By the way, what kind of meat is this? I swear I have never eaten meat like this! This kind of meat must be the meat of a rare animal in the world, right? Is it super, super expensive?"

Gu Ran: ...

Isn't this different from what I thought?

Annie, you actually felt great eating this dish I made that was so messy?

Look at you, you've never eaten real pork !

Not to mention the perfect talent point bubbles, there are not even white bubbles in this wave! What a loss! I have a Hollywood-level magic tool, but I can't get it. Do you think I'm anxious? Gu Ran picked up the instant noodles he made for himself depressedly, "It doesn't matter whether it's expensive or not, as long as you like it. If you can eat it, this whole plate is for you."

Annie was stunned for a moment, then said seriously: "Gu, don't be so nice to me."

What about me?

Gu Ran was completely stunned.

Then I heard Annie continue: "You gave me such delicious food, but you were eating instant noodles. No, no, I can't be so selfish. Unless you eat with me, otherwise, no matter how delicious the dish is, I won't touch it again."

Oh my god...

I was moved by what you said.

But... there's really no need!

Gu Ran said sincerely, "Annie, you think too much. I'm not being polite to you. Just eat by yourself and don't worry about me."

This time, Gu Ran was really sincere. He was not humble at all, and he did not use any acting skills.

But Annie insisted: "If you don't eat, then I will starve too."

Really not! Gu Ran sighed helplessly, "Forget it, Annie, I'll tell you the truth. In fact, this dish ruined me. It's too bad. I can't eat a single bite."

Anne's eyes widened in disbelief. "Such sweet meat, you actually said it tasted bad? Oh, I see. You didn't hesitate to demean yourself just to let me enjoy such a sweet delicacy alone."

Gu Ran quickly explained: "I am telling the truth."

Annie said, "Gu, I'm not saying anything bad about you, but you're really not good at lying. You have no acting skills."

Gu Ran: ...

It's hard to explain! Gu Ran could only frown and put on a cold expression, "Anyway, I won't eat it. If you don't want to eat it either, then just throw it away."

Anne hurriedly said anxiously, "No, no, no! Oh my God! How can such delicious and expensive food be thrown away? I'll eat it, I'll eat it all!"

Annie grabbed the plate and began to eat with chopsticks clumsily but seriously.

Only then did Gu Ran breathe a sigh of relief.

Every time Annie ate a piece of sweet and sour pork, she looked at Gu Ran with gratitude. Every time she ate another piece of sweet and sour pork, she looked at Gu Ran with gratitude again.

The first day of living together is unbearable!

Annie's rank is too high. She can't even get a bubble even with all the effort! Not to mention the red perfect bubble, not to mention the blue skill bubble, she can't even get a white ordinary bubble!

I can’t do it anymore! Forget it, I give up.

I should finish my meal quickly and go to the gym to pick up some white bubbles...

Gu Ran lowered his head and slurped the instant noodles.

About ten minutes later, the first meal after living together was finally finished.

Gu Ran is responsible for cooking, so naturally Annie is responsible for washing the dishes and chopsticks - this is also stated in the contract.

Annie was very positive about this kind of civilian life. Without waiting for Gu Ran to remind her, she took the initiative to tie her apron and started washing dishes.

Gu Ran looked at Annie's busy back... and suddenly had the urge to buy Annie a set of maid work clothes.

Bang! Annie just started to wash the first bowl, but she lost her grip and broke it.

Gu Ran: ...

I feel like the rent is going to be less.

Gu Ran pretended to be cool and said, "...Is it not hurting you?"

Anne bit her lip, "…I'm sorry."

Gu Ran shrugged nonchalantly, "Nothing, just a bowl."

Anne's originally happy mood suddenly collapsed like a flood, tears welled up in her eyes, "I'm so useless... I can't do anything right... I get scolded as an actor, I can't even wash dishes... I'm not even qualified to be an ordinary person! I'm really, so useless!"

This turn of events happened so quickly! Gu Ran was completely stunned.

Annie was just chatting and laughing, but suddenly she broke down over a trivial matter? Holy shit! This...

It seems that Anne's condition is much more serious than expected! No wonder she ran to a place like Southampton to live an ordinary life.

She is really sick!

For a moment, Gu Ran really wanted to hug Annie in his arms and whisper in her ear: Don't be afraid, I'm here.

However, Gu Ran also knew that the relationship between him and Annie had not yet reached the point where they could hug and rely on each other, and doing so would only scare Annie.

When Gu Ran was hesitating, "Light~"
