While Gu Ran was tinkering with the chicken in the kitchen...

Elizabeth happily toured the Dune Villa.

From the living room to the dining room, from the dining room to the bathroom - these are all places where Anne's predecessors fought! Elizabeth visited with admiration.

She was particularly curious about Gu Ran's liquid nitrogen-frozen space capsule.

"What is this thing?"

"In the bathroom, probably for bathing, right?"

"Could it be an automatic scrubber? Or an automatic dryer?"

"I didn't expect this villa to be so small, but the things there are so advanced."

"I really want to try it... Never mind, let's talk about it when I take a shower tonight."

After visiting the bathroom, Elizabeth walked into Gu Ran's master bedroom as if possessed by a ghost.

“Wow~”

As soon as she entered the master bedroom, Elizabeth was immediately attracted by the huge floor-to-ceiling windows.

Outside the floor-to-ceiling windows is the vast ocean, and the golden moonlight is shining on the sea. The scenery is really magnificent.

Elizabeth couldn't help but put her hands on the clean glass.

Two clear palm prints and two large chest prints were immediately left on the glass.

Elizabeth: ...

“How embarrassing!”

"This should be the glass that Senior Annie cleaned!"

"I actually gave... No, no, we can't let Gu find out, otherwise he will definitely be angry."

Elizabeth looked around quickly but found nothing that could erase the mark.

Elizabeth bit her lip, lifted up her skirt, and wiped it hard.

Why does it get dirtier the more I wipe it?

Elizabeth looked at the four marks on the glass, lifted her skirt, and fell into deep thought.

As someone who had never had to do housework, she was really puzzled.

never mind……

Just leave it for now, maybe the mark will disappear on its own after a while.

Elizabeth comforted herself and left the master bedroom.

After visiting the first floor, Elizabeth went to visit the basement gym and the rooms on the second floor.

Then, Elizabeth ran to the backyard and visited Gu Ran's small training ground and swimming pool.

The lawn and pool were well maintained.

If she hadn't brought a swimsuit, Elizabeth would have really wanted to jump into the swimming pool and take a dip.

After almost finishing the tour, the aroma of Kung Pao Chicken wafted from the kitchen.

Elizabeth sniffed excitedly and ran into the restaurant without waiting for Gu Ran to call her.

"Gu, do you need help?"

"No need," Gu Ran brought the prepared Kung Pao Chicken to the table, "Sit down, Liz, are you done with the tour? How do you feel?"

Elizabeth stared at the delicious Kung Pao Chicken. "It smells good. I mean, um, it's good. Although it's not as big as my house, it's really good."

Gu Ran: ...

Well, it's not quite like your Olsen twins' house.

Alas, I thought I was rich, didn't I? Actually, I'm far from it.

Compared to Evelyn's house, compared to the Olsen sisters' house... you still have to work hard! Gu Ran smiled and handed a pair of chopsticks to Elizabeth, "Do you know how to use chopsticks?"

"Of course!" Elizabeth took the chopsticks and skillfully picked up a piece of smoking hot chicken.

Gu Ran was surprised and said, "You can actually use chopsticks."

Elizabeth said proudly, "Of course. Our family is considered upper class, right? The upper class in the United States are proud of knowing Chinese culture. The children of the upper class in the United States are required to learn Chinese and recite Tang poetry. Is it strange that they can use chopsticks?"

Gu Ran smiled and said, "Then can you speak Chinese?"

Elizabeth smiled sheepishly: "My academic performance in school has always been very bad... Hey, Gu, where are your chopsticks?"

Gu Ran shrugged. "Oh, I've already had dinner at the training base, and my nutritionist doesn't allow me to eat anything other than the recipe she specifies."

Elizabeth smiled and said, "She's not here, so it's okay for you to have a bite secretly."

Gu Ran said firmly: "I am a professional player, I must have a professional attitude."

Elizabeth was slightly stunned. "Gu, I admire you more and more. You are so self-disciplined. Then...can I eat it?"

Oh shit.

It's obvious that she's a foodie! Gu Ran smiled and said, "Of course you can eat it. This whole plate is yours. But it's just out of the pot, so be careful of the burns—"

Before she finished her words, Elizabeth swallowed the whole piece of diced chicken in one gulp, then spit out the hot chicken with a howl.

The hot chicken cubes flowed down Elizabeth's chin and into the chest of her dress!

Gu Ran was quick-witted and reached in directly. With one hand... two hands... three hands, he finally grabbed out the scalding diced chicken!

Elizabeth's face turned red with shame because of the pain. "Ahhh... I'm dying, I'm dying!"

...I don’t know whether it hurts from being burned or from being scratched.

Gu Ran said, "Look at you. I told you to be careful of getting burned. Luckily, I was quick. Come on, check yourself. Are you burned inside?"

Elizabeth said "oh" and pulled her collar in front of Gu Ran and looked inside.

Holy shit…

This naive person!

Gu Ran felt that his young body was having trouble breathing and he didn't know where to put his eyes!

Elizabeth heaved a sigh of relief, "Fortunately, I'm not burned. Gu, just now...thank you."

Gu Ran swallowed subconsciously, "That's right, luckily I was quick to protect you."

Elizabeth said: "It happened so fast, I didn't even react..."

Gu Ran cleared his throat, "You, don't eat so hastily next time. Go wash up, there are clean towels in the bathroom."

"Oh... okay." Elizabeth took a lingering look at the Kung Pao Chicken on the table, then got up and went to the bathroom.

She is really naive and a super foodie...

Gu Ran looked at Elizabeth's back and couldn't help but move his knuckles, recalling the feeling of the two duang, duang sounds just now.

After a long while, Elizabeth returned to the dining table with a blushing face.

Her floral dress had obviously been adjusted, and there were still some water stains on the ends of her hair and on her exposed collarbone.

Gu Ran looked at Elizabeth.

Elizabeth looked at Gu Ran.

The atmosphere suddenly became ambiguous.

When Gu Ran first reached out to grab the chicken, he didn't seem to be flirting with her. But now that Elizabeth had finished cleaning him, she started to feel flirting with him.

Emotions are such a strange thing.

Gu Ran cleared his throat, "Are you okay?"

Elizabeth lowered her head and said, "Well, it's a little red and swollen..."

Damn it, sister, please don’t describe it!

Gu Ran felt that he needed to make Ao Mei a cup of coffee to calm her down.

"How about...I should put some burn ointment on you?"

"Ah? I don't need to do that, right? I can... apply it myself."

"Oh, that's right." Gu Ran nodded repeatedly.

Elizabeth smiled innocently and said, "I apply skin cream myself every night."

Damn it... Sister Ao, please stop describing it! It's really too dangerous abroad! It's really too dangerous! Gu Ran felt his temples throbbing wildly.

Elizabeth asked in a low voice: "By the way, Gu, is your hand...burned?"

Gu Ran sighed quietly, "Oh, it doesn't matter. My hand is not as... ahem, important as yours."

With that said, the atmosphere became even more ambiguous, it was like ambiguous mother opening the door to ambiguousness, ambiguous to the extreme.

Elizabeth said softly, "Anyway, thank you, Gu. You were really... so brave just now."

Yes, I am a brave LSP... Bah! We can't continue chatting like this. If we continue chatting like this, Grandma Aimei will come out to open the door for Aimei.

Gu Ran cleared his throat, "...eat chicken."

"Uh-huh."

Elizabeth picked up another piece of diced chicken, blew on it near her lips, and then carefully put it into her mouth.

Elizabeth seemed to have reached her peak. "This is really, really delicious! So sweet! I dare say, this is the best Kung Pao Chicken I have ever eaten!"

Gu Ran smiled and said, "As long as you like it, I can cook it for you often when I don't have any competitions. Of course, during normal training, I usually don't come back until after 8pm, so if you want to eat, you have to wait until I come back."

Elizabeth said quickly, "Of course I am willing to wait for such a delicious meal! But you train so hard during the day, and I will feel bad if you have to come back and cook for me at night."

Gu Ran smiled and said, "It's nothing, just enjoy it."

Elizabeth said, "I have to do something for you, right? Although I don't know how to do housework, I can try to do it."

Gu Ran smiled and said, "Stay with me, you can do whatever you want."

Elizabeth asked, "Can I drive your yacht? I have a yacht at home, and I'm a great driver!"

Gu Ran felt depressed, "No, except driving a yacht."

"Oh... okay. It seems that the yacht really means a lot to you." Elizabeth smiled helplessly, "Then what kind of training do I need during the month I'm here?"

Oh shit.

This question really hits the nail on the head for me.

In fact, no training was needed at all, I just had to hand-draw "Avengers: Age of Ultron".

But I can't let Ao Mei do nothing, right? That would make me look like a low-level mentor.

Gu Ran hesitated for a moment, "I just said that your problem is not your acting skills, but your mentality, so my special training for you will focus on your mentality. I will make you more confident."

Elizabeth said excitedly, "Okay, Gu! I promise to listen to you. In this month, I will do whatever you ask me to do!"

Gu Ran nodded in satisfaction, "Okay, let's do this for tonight. I'll think about it carefully tonight and make a professional plan. We'll officially start tomorrow."

"Okay, okay!" Elizabeth said excitedly, "I can't wait to receive your special training now. It must be very interesting! Oh, by the way, do I have to audition for the crew of "Peace, Love and Misunderstanding" tomorrow?"

Gu Ran shook his head. "No need. Let me put it this way. With your ability, you will definitely pass the audition, but there is no need for you to waste your time."

Elizabeth hesitated for a moment, then smiled and said, "This is a rare opportunity... But, okay, I'll listen to you. I'll move all my luggage and belongings here tomorrow, and I'll bother you for the next month."

"Sure, sure."

Gu Ran looked at the time—it was already 9:30 in the evening.

Although for most young people, the wonderful nightlife has just begun at this time, but for professional player Gu Ran, it is time to go to bed.

It will definitely be difficult to fall asleep tonight, so I have to go to bed earlier.

Gu Ran then said, "Liz, take your time eating, and remember to wash the dishes after you finish. I'm going to take a shower and go to bed first, as I have an important public training class tomorrow. Oh, by the way, your room is on the second floor. If you need to change clothes... ahem, there are a few maid outfits in the closet on the second floor that you can wear."

Elizabeth smiled and said, "Okay, I understand, Gu, you are really thoughtful. You are tired after a day, you should go and have a rest."

"Well, then...good night."

"Good night, good night!" Elizabeth buried her head and continued to eat.

Gu Ran smiled, stood up and left the restaurant, went straight into the bathroom, and started the ice and fire therapy before bed.

Today is the first day of professional training, and to be honest, the intensity is really high.

This is incomparable to the training intensity of amateur school teams, and even the training intensity of professional youth teams cannot be compared with it.

From now on, the training intensity will be the same every day, or even higher.

A brilliant career requires persistent hard work and sweat to pave the way.

Moreover, it is not always the case that you will succeed just by working hard in training.

There are thousands of hard-working people in this world, but only a few can actually succeed.

It’s not that hard work is useless, but that hard work is only the foundation for success - foundation alone is not enough, it also requires talent and opportunity.

This is not only true for professional players, but also for anyone who wants to succeed in any industry.

Many inspirational quotes say that all you have to do is work hard, but is it really that simple and easy?

Even if Gu Ran has the system and the leading experience and knowledge after his rebirth, he still has to work twice as hard if he wants to succeed in football.

The system is just an auxiliary, and you have to rely on yourself to decide your destiny.

Gu Ran lowered the temperature of the liquid nitrogen freezing chamber to minus 180 degrees Celsius and increased the freezing time to 10 minutes.

This is no longer something that ordinary people can endure, but it is very effective for muscle recovery.

After Gu Ran finished the cryotherapy, he walked out of the liquid nitrogen freezing chamber with a slight chill all over his body, and went directly into the sauna room to continue the high-temperature sauna for 10 minutes.

After the ice and fire therapy was over, Gu Ran's muscle fatigue was greatly relieved, and his physical strength was obviously restored a lot. He felt like a new person!

Gu Ran returned to his master bedroom wrapped in a bath towel, and saw the floor-to-ceiling glass at a glance...

Sister Ao, what did you do to my floor-to-ceiling glass?

What the hell, is this going to make me sleep?!

Tonight I have to let Newton, Leibniz, Gauss, Descartes, Euler and other mathematical masters accompany me to sleep...

Gu Ran scratched his head in pain, then lay down on the bed and started doing mental arithmetic on calculus.

I am a professional football player, and sooner or later I will be forced to become a math master...

While Gu Ran was tossing and turning with the math masters, Elizabeth Olsen was struggling with the dishes in the kitchen.

Elizabeth was born with a silver spoon in her mouth.

Before she was born, her two twin sisters were already making a lot of money for the family.

It can be said that Elizabeth is a real young lady who has never done housework since she was a child.

Of course, in order to repay Gu Ran, Elizabeth washed very seriously, fearing that Gu Ran would despise her for not knowing how to do anything.

Elizabeth spent ten minutes washing a plate, a bowl and a pair of chopsticks.

I used half a bottle of dishwashing liquid.

After washing, Elizabeth looked down and saw that the front of her skirt was soaked...

Fortunately, Gu didn’t see such an embarrassing scene.

If Gu saw it, he would definitely dislike me.

Elizabeth secretly rejoiced, then went into the bathroom, took off her clothes, and took a nice bath.

After taking a bath, Elizabeth looked at the liquid nitrogen-frozen space capsule curiously.

There was a liquid nitrogen label on the space capsule, but there was no explanation, and Elizabeth couldn't understand it at all.

"This should be the new human body dryer."

"But, never mind. I'll just wipe it with my hands."

"Oh, my hands are so sore from washing dishes just now. Why don't I try being a human dryer?"

"It's just for a bit, Gu definitely won't know."

Elizabeth stood naked in the liquid nitrogen space capsule.

Elizabeth observed it for a moment and casually pressed the start button.

The door of the liquid nitrogen freezing chamber was then closed and the compressor began to work.

Elizabeth happily waited to be dried.

Liquid nitrogen at minus 180 degrees turned into cold mist and sprayed on Elizabeth's body.

Elizabeth screamed, "Ah! Help! Ahhhhh!!!"

Gu Ran, who was about to fall asleep, was suddenly startled when he heard the call. He quickly grabbed the bath towel, wrapped it around his waist, and jumped out of bed.

"Liz! What's wrong!?"

"Gu! Gu! Gu!!! Come and save me, I'm dying!!!"

Following Elizabeth's scream, Gu Ran ran to the bathroom door and pushed it twice but it didn't move!

The door is locked from the inside!

Saving lives is important!

At this time, Gu Ran didn't care about anything else. He just raised his muscular thigh and kicked the bathroom door open violently!

The force of this kick directly kicked the bathroom door off! Gu Ran rushed into the bathroom and was stunned when he saw Elizabeth trapped in the liquid nitrogen frozen space capsule.

This, this, this is too silly, isn't it?!

Is there anyone more silly and cute than Ao Mei?

He actually trapped himself in the cryostat! When Elizabeth saw Gu Ran, she felt like she had found a life-saving straw, "Gu! Save me! Save me!"

"Here I come!" Gu Ran rushed to the space capsule with a loose bath towel and quickly pressed the stop button and the hatch door open button.

Squeak! The liquid nitrogen freezing chamber seemed to sigh and slowly opened its door.

Amidst the extremely cold air, Elizabeth, who was almost frozen, appeared in front of Gu Ran.

Holy shit! Gu Ran was completely dumbfounded.
