After the body was warmed up, Teacher Maria poured some medical olive essential oil on Gu Ran's body and then began to massage vigorously.

I understand this process...

Gu Ran tried hard to control his facial expression, trying his best to make himself look like a piece of emotionless stone.

I have to say that Teacher Maria's physical therapy techniques are really super professional.

Maria can clearly identify every muscle point, and the strength of the pressure is also very appropriate. She does not press too hard, but each time she can just reach the limit of Gu Ran's muscle endurance.

As expected, she is Teacher Maria!

This is much better than the experience in a regular bath center in my previous life!

For a full half hour, Maria was giving Gu Ran physical therapy seriously.

Teacher Maria was so tired that she was sweating all over. The medical-grade olive essential oil was quickly applied evenly.

Gu Ran moved his shoulders slightly and felt that most of his strength had recovered!

The effect of this kind of physical therapy recovery is really great! It would be great if I could invite Teacher Maria to come to my home for physical therapy after every game - no, that would allow me to recover faster!

I don't know how much Teacher Maria charges per hour?

Alas, it’s not easy for us to ask…

"Okay," Teacher Maria wiped the sweat from her forehead with the back of her hand, "There is one last project."

Gu Ran felt very sorry, "Teacher Maria, thank you for your hard work, would you like to take a rest first?"

Maria smiled and said, "Nothing - come on, let's continue."

Maria picked up a fascia roller that was as thick as her forearm and looked like a rolling pin from her small box.

There are also spiral dots on the fascia roller.

Oh shit!

What the hell is this! Gu Ran felt numb all over, and he wanted to jump up from the therapy bed and run away immediately!

Maria grabbed the towel around Gu Ran's waist and smiled gently: "Don't move, be good, just roll it once."

As she said that, Maria pressed the fascia roller hard, rolling it back and forth on Gu Ran's calves!

Gu Ran suddenly screamed in agony, and the entire locker room echoed with the miserable cries.

This sour taste... no one can stand it! On the training ground, all the players stopped training in shock and looked towards the locker room.

No one knows what Gu Ran is going through.

Coach Carter frowned and shouted, "What are you looking at? Keep training!"

The players hurriedly continued training with trepidation.

Coach Carter sighed quietly and murmured, "Gu, hold on, this is the hardship you have to endure... oh my old waist, oh my big hips, oh fuck..."

In the locker room,

Gu Ran kept shouting, but suddenly his face turned red and he stopped shouting.

Maria: ...

Gu Ran: ...

At this moment, Gu Ran was surprisingly calm.

My body’s reaction has nothing to do with me. I am still the serious person at heart.

Besides, as long as I am not embarrassed, then the one who is embarrassed is Teacher Maria.

Teacher Maria adjusted her glasses with the back of her hand...

"Gu, what are you doing?"

Teacher, if I say I want to wipe your sweat with a towel, will you believe me?

Holy shit! I can't believe it! Let's fight!

Gu Ran cleared his throat and put on a charming smile to win favor, "Teacher, I can explain it to you from a medical perspective..."

Teacher Maria blushed and giggled, "Gu, you are so cute! Okay, okay, what's there to explain about this? I'm a doctor, I'm a professional, I won't let my imagination run wild."

Gu Ran immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

Then I heard Teacher Maria continue: "I am an experienced person...I understand everything. Come, lift the towel up..."

There's something wrong with you, Teacher Maria!

I really didn’t mean that! Gu Ran was completely numb…

Teacher Maria continued to roll the fascia roller vigorously.

Teacher Maria's beautiful hair swayed on the bath towel.

Gu Ran clenched his teeth.

I am going to die...

How come this fascia rolling project lasted longer than physical therapy...

I don’t know how much time had passed.

Teacher Maria finally stopped and said, "Okay... Gu, you can feel it for yourself, do you feel comfortable all over now?"

Gu Ran said quickly: "Thank you, Teacher Maria. Teacher Maria, you are very skilled... No, Teacher Maria, you are very professional... I just want to say... thank you."

Maria laughed so hard that her body shook. "Gu, you are so cute. Are all Chinese boys as cute as you? You're welcome. And, don't call me teacher anymore. Just call me Maria."

Gu Ran said quickly: "That won't work."

Maria flirtatiously shook her hair and said with a meaningful smile, "Well, it's time to get off work. Do you have any questions? If not, I'm leaving."

Gu Ran cleared his throat and said, "Teacher Maria, I was thinking...if I buy a liquid nitrogen space capsule in the future, can I call you and ask you to take a look?"

Maria chuckled. "Why don't you just tell me you want my phone number and ask me out sometime in the future? You're using the excuse of buying a 50,000-pound space capsule. Hahahaha, you're so cute!"

Gu Ran quickly said: "No, no, no! I really want to buy a space capsule, and I can really afford it! Teacher Maria, I really, I..."

Oh my god! I am a serious person! Why can't I explain myself at this moment?

Maria smiled and took out a pen. "Okay, okay, I understand. Give it to me—"

Gu Ran obediently handed his hand to Maria.

Maria first wiped the sweat off Gu Ran's palms with her hands, and then skillfully wrote her phone number on Gu Ran's palms.

There was a little heart drawn behind the phone number.

Before leaving, Teacher Maria pushed her glasses on the bridge of her nose and made a Call Me gesture to Gu Ran.

Gu Ran's scalp felt numb...

The environment abroad is too open and too dangerous.

As a Chinese boy, I must protect my family.

Gu Ran quickly saved Teacher Maria's phone number in his own mobile phone, and then confirmed the number twice before washing the phone number and the little heart on his hand.

This time... I won't let Sophie find out no matter what.

Gu Ran nodded with satisfaction.

Gu Ran calmed himself down, put on his clothes, walked out of the locker room holding on to the wall, and came to the side of head coach Carter.

"coach……"

"Oh, Gu, have you finished the physical therapy?" Coach Carter said, "You just finished the physical therapy, go back and have a good rest. Tomorrow is the weekend, and other players have to come for training, but you don't have to come. Just recover your physical strength for me."

That’s perfect. I don’t even have to ask for leave.

Gu Ran said, "Okay, coach. By the way, coach, can I get back the post-match statistics of my debut? I want to keep it as a souvenir."

Coach Carter frowned, "Your post-match statistics... Here, next time you perform well, I'll give them to you."

Gu Ran was startled, "Coach, you didn't lose it, did you?"

"How could it be! I know where it is! How can this be considered lost!" Coach Carter said earnestly: "Gu, don't be complacent just because your debut stats are good. Those are just the stats of one game and they can't prove anything! You are still a rookie and you still have a lot of problems. You still have a long way to go! I'm not giving it to you now because I'm afraid you'll be distracted! Our next game is crucial, you must concentrate all your attention to prepare for it! Now, stop thinking about it and go back to rest."

"Yes, Coach!"

Gu Ran said goodbye to Carter with a guilty look on his face and left the campus.

After getting in the taxi, Gu Ran suddenly realized...

Am I being PUAed by a big troll again? Shit…
