Not long after Gu Ran took Annie into the car, the players of the Bucks Steelhorns team arrived one after another.

After Coach Carter counted the number of people, he signaled the bus driver to start.

The bus started slowly and drove out of the Millennium Stadium.

At this time, there were still enthusiastic Southampton fans waiting on both sides of the road around the Millennium Stadium! When the Bucks Steelhorns bus appeared, Southampton fans cheered wildly, and thousands of cars honked their horns at the same time! The players on the bus also waved excitedly to the fans and families who supported them!

The whole scene was so shocking that it made your blood boil!

Afterwards, the bus drove all the way back to Southampton from Cardiff, escorted by Southampton fans' vehicles.

When the bus entered Southampton, a police car and two motorcycle police cars immediately cleared the way for the bus and escorted it all the way! This is a very high treatment! Although the citizens of Southampton cannot be said to be welcoming the bus with lines along the road, when they see the Bucks Steelhorns team passing by, they will take the initiative to stop and make way, and cheer and salute the Bucks Steelhorns team! Even Annie couldn't help but whispered in admiration: "This is much more fanatical than the scene of chasing stars in Hollywood! Compared with sports stars, movie stars are really nothing. Many movie stars are manufactured, but sports stars are really passionate and hard-working."

Gu Ran smiled and said, "This is actually easy to understand, because sports stars not only have relatively fixed fans, and not only win victories for their fans, but also win honors. This kind of sense of honor is difficult for entertainment stars to achieve."

Annie couldn't help but nodded, and hugged Gu Ran's shoulders with happiness in her eyes, "My boyfriend is a real big star."

Wow~ Annie, you are really good at praising others! Especially the tone of being conquered.

It's really so tempting! ——Gu Ran felt completely satisfied.

Gu Ran wanted to fly back home right now and give Annie a good beating...

at the same time.

The news that the Bucks Steelhorns eliminated the Golden Fleece with a two-goal lead spread among other high schools: "What? Bucks Steelhorns? Bucks Steelhorns won?"

"Fuck, what's going on? The Golden Fleece lost to the Bucks Steelhorns again?"

"In that case, it wasn't unfair for the Golden Fleece Team to lose to the Stag Steelhorns in the group stage last time!"

"Hey! No wonder our Tonbridge High School Wild Boar Jazz lost to the Bucks Steel Horns!"

"Yes, we lost to the championship and runner-up teams!"

"It's not that we are not strong enough, but Group E is too strong! It really is the Group of Death!"

"The Buck Steel Horns are really fierce! I was especially impressed by the black-haired Chinese guy named Gu Ran!"

"Although I scolded him at the scene, I have to admit that the boy was really bad! It still hurts me now!"

"Haha! I really hope that the Bucks Steelhorns can win the finals! That way it won't be embarrassing for us to be eliminated by the Bucks Steelhorns!"

"That's right! Come on, Stag Steelhorn! Win the championship!"

The other side.

In a forum for overseas students in China, someone posted a message: "My whole body is numb! Just now! I saw an awesome Chinese player at the Millennium Stadium!"

The poster with the online name "MaxxRT" introduced himself in the post with passionate words, saying that he was a college student studying in Cardiff, Wales. He was bored and went to watch a British high school championship. He never expected to see a Chinese compatriot named "Gu Ran" playing on the field. This compatriot has a breakthrough speed like the great saint Gareth Bale. He passionately ate up the opponent's left side several times. He also has super organizational ability, super defensive ability, super shooting ability, and a Lampard-style through pass and Beckham-style crescent moon pass.

At the end of the post, MaxxRT also emphasized that Gu Ran is very handsome!

As soon as this post appeared, it instantly ignited the entire International Students Forum and became the hottest topic on the forum in less than two minutes.

Many netizens left comments under the post questioning:

[Nonsense, right? Can China have such a great player? Lampard and Beckham? Can he do the Bengbu Turn?] [If China has such a good player, the domestic clubs would have known about it long ago. It's your turn to find it.] [It's just a high school tournament. What kind of masters can there be? What's worth bragging about? I guess I can get in by guessing.] [You posted this to get a reply, right?] [No picture, what the hell...] ​​[Bucks Steel Horns? Can you please be more careful when making up stories? Such an ugly team name!] [If there really is such a great Chinese player, I'm willing to live broadcast myself doing a handstand and pooping!] [Haha! I'll do one too. If there really is such a great Chinese player, I'm willing to live broadcast myself eating the poop of the upstairs person!] [Count me in too!] The following posts were all mocking. No one believed that a football genius like "Gu Ran" really existed.

MaxxRT replied: [I can understand everyone's emotions. To be honest, if I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, I wouldn't have believed it myself. But I swear, not a single word I said was to trick people into responding! Gu Ran is really awesome! Unfortunately, I was so engrossed in watching the game this time that I forgot to take a video of him overtaking in the outside lane and kicking the Crescent Moon Scimitar. But at the end of the game, I took a picture of their team celebrating their victory. Because the stands are far from the court, the pictures taken with mobile phones are not so clear, but you should be able to see Gu Ran's Chinese features with black hair! ] Below the post was a picture of a Bucks Steelhorns player holding Gu Ran up high in celebration.

In the blurry photo, Gu Ran looked like a king, ruling the world and accepting the admiration and worship from his foreign teammates!

Although the shooting distance was very far and the image quality was blurry, one could still vaguely see Gu Ran's handsome facial features and his domineering celebration movements.

After seeing the photo, netizens questioned again: [This photo is so blurry that it looks like it was taken with a Nokia from the last century.] [What does this mean about claws?] [It must be photoshopped!] [Original poster, since you photoshopped the photo, why not just make it clearer?] [Original poster, this is not you, is it? You photoshopped yourself onto a foreigner and came here to show off your presence, right?] [Alas, everyone should pity the original poster. He must have wanted Chinese football to be awesome so much that he has gone insane.] [ I still say the same thing! If what the original poster said is true, I will do a live broadcast of myself doing a handstand and having diarrhea!] [I still say the same thing...] MaxxRT responded again: [I am really impressed. Nowadays, people question everything you say. You want clearer evidence, right? No problem! The finals of the British high school national championship will be held in 5 days. Gu Ran, as the core ace of the Bucks Steel Horns, will definitely appear. I will definitely go to the Millennium Stadium again. I will pay for international traffic with my own money and broadcast it live for you! Those who said that handstands are diarrhea, don't run away if you have the guts! ] Netizens below responded:

[Haha! After all this time, it turns out that the OP is trying to attract traffic to his own livestream!] [This is a clever way to attract traffic! But don't worry, we will definitely go there when the time comes. As long as we see that you are maliciously attracting traffic, we will report you together!] [Brothers, push this post up, don't let it sink!] [Insert an eye! Wait for the OP to reveal his livestream room number! Then go and watch the joke!] [I'll insert an eye too!] [Everyone insert an eye together! Health for you, me, and him!] More than an hour later.

Gu Ran drove Annie back to the Dune Villa.

"Finally home!" Annie breathed a sigh of relief and threw away the troublesome sun hat and big sunglasses.

Annie quickly struggled and begged for mercy: "Gu, wait a minute, I have something very important to tell you."

Gu Ran smiled and said, "You talk about yours, I'll do mine, no need to delay!"

"Hey~" Annie said quickly: "No, I haven't taken a shower yet!"

"Let's wash together after we're done."

"Wait, the skirt...is going to break..."

"It's okay, I'll buy it for you later."

Gu Ran kicked the bedroom door shut with his heel...

More than half an hour later.

Annie's hair was disheveled, and she lay obediently in Gu Ran's arms.

So cool!

Gu Ran chuckled, "Can you blame me for this? It's all because you're so beautiful."

Annie was overjoyed, but she said, "You're annoying. You're trying to coax me again."

Gu Ran smiled and said, "Okay, go ahead and tell me during the intermission."

Annie struggled weakly for a while, then gave up completely, "Gu, what I want to tell you is that my identity has been exposed."

Gu Ran smiled with a relaxed expression, "Oh, that's it? I already know that."

Annie was stunned. "How did you know?"

Gu Ran smiled and said, "After the game, Chelsea's scout Emenalo told me - the scout sitting behind you. He told me that you met Greg today, so your identity as a Hollywood star was exposed."

Anne said helplessly, "Yeah, I never thought that I would meet the president of the British Film Association while watching an amateur high school competition. I was trying very hard to hold back, but when I saw you being knocked to the ground by a double tackle, I couldn't control myself anymore."

A warm current surged in Gu Ran's heart, and his hands became more resolute, "Annie, you are so kind."

Annie frowned in resentment and said coquettishly, "...it's going to explode."

Gu Ran chuckled and changed the subject, "Greg is not only the president of the Film Association, but also the deputy CEO of the English Football Association. Old Rice must have invited him here to help me get a work permit."

Anne suddenly realized, "So that's how it is."

Gu Ran smiled again and said, "Oh, by the way, that Emenalo wanted me to ask you for a photo and autograph of the White Queen to give to his daughter for her birthday."

Anne immediately asked alertly: "How old is her daughter?"

"About eight."

Anne put down her guard and said, "Oh, that's fine. Isn't it easy to sign? But I don't have a photo of the White Queen right now. I'll ask my assistant to send one over tomorrow."

Damn! Annie, you are so jealous!

Gu Ran laughed secretly in his heart.

Annie said coquettishly, "But how come you're not nervous at all about my identity being exposed? Do you know that soon entertainment media reporters will come to track my whereabouts? If my agent and agency find out, they will immediately interrupt my vacation and call me back to the United States. In that case, we will have to separate and can no longer be together."

Gu Ran nodded thoughtfully, "Then we have to hurry up--"

Having said that, Gu Ran was ready for the second round.

Annie quickly struggled with a blushing face, "Gu! Take a break! I want to ask you a question!"

Gu Ran lowered his head and asked vaguely, "What's the problem?"

Gu Ran immediately replied: "Is there any need to ask? Of course I like it!"

Annie held Gu Ran's head up forcefully and looked into his eyes lovingly. "Look into my eyes and say it."

Gu Ran took the opportunity to kiss Annie, "I like it. I like it very much."

Annie bit her lip and said, "Then I'll stay here, okay? I won't be a big star anymore, and I won't make movies anymore. The money I make is enough to support me for the rest of my life. I'll stay by your side and be an ordinary little woman. I'll just stay by your side for the rest of my life... okay?"

Annie looked at Gu Ran expectantly.

Gu Ran's body tensed up instantly! Shit...

Stop it, Annie! You can't do this! What I mean is, I'm not a jerk who gets bored easily. I'm thinking about your future as a star, Annie!

Gu Ran cleared his throat and said seriously, "Annie, I really want to stay with you forever. But, it's selfish of me to think like this, because you are a Hollywood princess! You have such a wonderful acting talent, you just encountered a little setback in your life, you will return to Hollywood and return to the peak of your acting career, how can I delay your lifelong achievements for my own temporary happiness? How can I destroy your dream of winning an Oscar just to keep you by my side?"

Annie was so moved that tears welled up in her eyes. "Gu, you are so kind. I really want an Oscar, but since I've been living with you, I feel that you are my Oscar. Just because of what you said to me just now, I am willing to give up everything and stay here to be an ordinary house girl."

As she spoke, Annie hooked her arms around Gu Ran's neck with tenderness in her eyes, waiting for Gu Ran to take the next step.

Holy shit…

Why is it that the more you talk, the more trouble you're getting?

This, this, this... No way!

Gu Ran quickly put Annie's legs down, "Annie, don't rush to make a decision - do you remember I said I would give you a surprise?"

Anne's flaming red lips came up to him, "I only want you. You are the biggest, biggest surprise."

Holy shit…

We have to calm down, Annie!

Gu Ran quickly held Annie down, "Wait, wait, wait, wait for me to bring the surprise over, then you can make a decision."

Having said that, Gu Ran quickly stood up and went to his room on the second floor.

“Eh…”

Annie looked at Gu Ran's back as he ran away, and a trace of sadness appeared on her beautiful face.

"Maybe he doesn't love me that much."

"But I have fallen in love with him so much that I cannot help myself..."

Gu Ran quickly ran to his room and found the hand-drawn storyboard script of "Batman 3: The Dark Knight Rises".

There are still a few pages of storyboards left to draw for this script. Gu Ran originally wanted to wait until they were finished before giving them to Annie, but now it seems that he can't wait any longer.

Gu Ran returned to Annie's room with a thick stack of scripts and placed the hand-drawn manuscripts in front of Annie.

Annie was completely stunned. "What, what is this?"

Gu Ran said, "This is the storyboard script I drew for you stroke by stroke when I was alone these days."

Anne was shocked. "A script? Hand-drawn? For me?"

Gu Ran nodded solemnly, "Yes, from the first moment I saw you, I have been thinking about helping you cheer up and help you return to Hollywood."

Anne opened the first page of the sketch with trembling fingers.

On the first page was written a line of flowing English: Dedicated to the eternal Hollywood princess in my heart, my dearest Anne Hathaway.

When Anne saw this line of text, she couldn't control her tears and flowed down instantly.

She threw herself into Gu Ran's arms regardless of everything, "Gu...thank you! I just now know that you have done so much silently behind my back!"

...Yes, I did a lot behind your back.

Gu Ran was almost moved himself.

Annie cried and said, "Just now I thought you didn't love me that much, and thought you didn't want to be with me, but when I saw this hand-drawn script, I realized that you love me so much! Thank you, Gu! Even if this script is useless, for me, this is the best surprise gift in my life!"

Useless?

Gu Ran smiled and said, "Annie, you should take a look first."

"Uh-huh!"

Annie was also very curious about what kind of script Gu Ran, a football player, could draw.

When Anne turned to the second page, a series of magnificent and narrative-style shots appeared before her eyes.

Anne was completely dumbfounded.

Anne read page after page with eyes full of shock...

She was completely immersed in this hand-drawn script and couldn't extricate herself!

Gu Ran gently hugged Annie from behind and whispered in her ears, "Do you like it?"

Annie trembled and asked, "Gu, is this really drawn by you?"

Gu Ran smiled and said, "Of course. The Catwoman Katherine in the movie was drawn based on your appearance. You still remember those difficult moves like the splits that I asked you to demonstrate, right? Ahem, actually, I was very serious when I asked you to do it. I wanted to show all your specialties in the image of Catwoman."

Anne was so excited that she cried!

"Gu! You are simply my God! You are so talented!"

"Oh my god! Every shot in this script is so beautiful!"

"And it's super mature! We can just take the script and start filming!"

"What is there in this world that you are not good at?"

"If I didn't know that you were such a good football player that you would eventually become a world-class football star, I would have asked you to become a Hollywood screenwriter!"

"You'll even win the Hollywood Best Screenwriter Award!"

“This script is really great!”

"Every drawing is a work of art! And you drew them with a pen, without even erasing them!"

"Gu, you are a genius!"

Annie is totally Gu Ran’s little fan girl!

"Gu! I really... I really don't know how to express my love for you!"

"You train so hard and I always make trouble at night, but you still take out your precious time to draw a script for me..."

Annie turned around and threw herself into Gu Ran's arms, wrapping her arms and legs around him passionately. "Gu, I love you. I love you so much! I want to give you everything I have! Everything!"

The mood is right! Gu Ran was about to start the second round, but Annie suddenly turned around and continued to look at the hand-painted script with fascination.

Gu Ran: ...

Anne, you little liar, you keep saying you love me and want to give me everything, but then you turn around and read the script? Well, you read the script while I punish you, so we won't waste time!
