Chapter 03 : Real acting! Showing affection and making the whole audience swoon!

  Rusty and his brothers rushed into the Costa Café with ferocious looks.

  The originally romantic coffee shop suddenly became silent.

  The guests all looked sideways in fear, fearing that their gazes would bring unnecessary trouble.

  Only Gu Ran was still sitting with his back to the camera, completely unaware that his "love rival" was approaching.

  Gu Ran was still happily studying his bubble system.

  ——Gu Ran has basically figured out the underlying logic of the system.

  Next, make full use of the negative emotion system and get as much free stuff as possible, especially getting more professional skills would be the best.

  However, a small place like Southampton doesn't seem to have many talented people or celebrities.

  Southampton does have a very famous "fellow countryman" team——

  Just when Gu Ran was in a trance, a big hand like an iron rake fell heavily on his shoulder.

  Gu Ran let out a hiss and almost cursed out a Chinese quintessence.

  Gu Ran frowned and turned back, and was shocked to see the hideous rust strips all over his face.

  When Xiu Tiao saw Gu Ran's pretty face, he was immediately furious: "Who did I think he was? Turns out he's just a weakling! You're worthy of being Sophie's boyfriend?"

  Gu Ran still had an impression of the man in front of him nicknamed "Rusty Strips" from twelve years ago.

  Rusty's real name is Chris Dick. He is the starting central defender of the Southampton private secondary school team "Bucks Steelhorns".

  This guy is as strong as an iron tower, 1.88 meters tall and weighs 93 kilograms. He has both muscles and fat. He is completely a high school version of Harry Maguire.

  The point is, this guy is prone to getting hot-headed. In an inter-school league, he once tackled the referee and chased the opposing forward into the locker room.

  The strong guys behind Rusty, like Rusty, are also some of the best bad boys in the Southampton school team.

  It can be said that everyone in Southampton private schools, from teachers to students, is afraid of them, and everyone wants to avoid them when they see them.

  In his previous life, Gu Ran had no interactions with people like Rusty.

  Because in the previous life, Gu Ran just finished the lunch with Sophie quietly and boringly, and then left quietly and boringly.

There was no situation where Sophie rushed out of the door and was seen by Rusty and others.

  But now, the fate after rebirth has changed.

  "Rusty! What are you doing!" Sophie ran in with a nervous face and pushed away Rusty's hand that was pressing on Gu Ran's shoulder.

  Seeing Sophie's nervous look, Rusty immediately became jealous, "Sophie, why are you so nervous about him? Tsk tsk, this Asian weakling actually needs a girl like you to protect him!"

  The brothers behind Rusty immediately started to make a fuss, with all kinds of sarcastic whistles flying around.

  Gu Ran frowned slightly.

  He was busy thinking about how to find useful skill bubbles. He originally didn't want to pay attention to people like Rusty Strip, but since the other party had started to taunt him, he couldn't tolerate it.

  Just as Gu Ran was about to speak, Sophie hurriedly took Gu Ran's arm and said, "Gu, ignore them, let's go."

  When Sophie held Gu Ran's arm, she secretly pinched Gu Ran's arm with her fingertips, signaling Gu Ran not to be impulsive.

  Gu Ran smiled at Sophie and showed no intention of leaving.

  "Want to leave?"

  Rusty used his strong body to block the way, and smiled viciously: "How can we let a weak Asian like you take away the school beauty of our Southampton Private High School? Unless you say that you have broken up with Sophie, you will not be able to walk out of this cafe alive today!"

  As he spoke, Rusty clenched his fists tightly.  

  His fist joints crackled and the muscles under his sweatshirt bulged exaggeratedly.

  The few bad boy brothers behind him also took up fighting stances, with their legs crossed, chins raised, and their eyes glancing at Gu Ran from under their nostrils.

  If it had happened twelve years ago, such a scene would have definitely made Gu Ran, a nerd, overwhelmed and his legs would have been shaking with nervousness.

  But now, Gu Ran has twelve more years of life experience and doesn't take such small scenes seriously at all.

  Instead of panicking, Gu Ran felt a little secretly happy.

  This is a good opportunity to get professional skill bubbles!

  "You are Rusty, right?" Gu Ran said, "I have heard that you are reckless. After seeing you today, I found that you are indeed as good as your reputation."

  Rusty sneered, "Even though you are praising me, I will not let you go for this."

  What the hell?

  You actually think "reckless" is a compliment?

  Gu Ran was immediately furious.

  It seems that if you want to make Rusty feel negative emotions, you can't say it in a too literary way, you need to add some stimulation.

  "Rusty, aren't you curious about why Sophie likes me?"

  As he spoke, Gu Ran turned around and looked at Sophie affectionately.

  That look was full of tenderness and affection, without any trace of acting.

  Sophie couldn't help but tremble.

  This was the first time she felt such a real love!

  And Rusty's face turned very ugly!

  Gu Ran gently held Sophie's tender hand in his arm and continued to show his affection: "The answer is actually very simple - I'm handsome enough."

  After these words were spoken, many spectators in the cafe actually nodded in agreement.

  Gu Ran is about 1.8 meters tall, with sharp eyebrows and bright eyes. His handsome face is covered with a calm and mature gentlemanly smile.

  Even the brothers behind Rusty couldn't help but nod secretly, acknowledging how handsome Gu Ran was.

  Rusty shouted unconvinced, "What's so handsome about that? Sophie! Look at my muscles!"

  Rusty rolled up his sleeves, revealing his biceps as thick as his thighs. His arm muscles creaked as if they were about to explode.

  Sophie's heart was pounding when Gu Ran held her hand and secretly pinched it. The teasing at the dangerous moment made her blush and her heart beat fast.

  This is a real man...

  Sophie rolled her eyes as she glanced at Rusty's muscles mixed with fat.

  Then, Sophie said to Gu Ran coquettishly with a pretty face: "Hate it, I'm not superficial and I'm dating you just because you're handsome."

  Gu Ran smiled at Sophie fondly, "I know. I was just about to introduce my other specialties to Rusty."

  This doting smile with mature charm almost made Sophie Turner fall for him on the spot!

  Is this really the nerdy Gu Ran?

  How come you suddenly become so attractive?

  Could it be... is he really in love with me?

  Why didn't I see it before?

  No, no, I don't want to fall in love so early!

  Sophie covered her flat chest with one hand, trying to control her already racing heartbeat, while her other hand was still lingeringly hanging in Gu Ran's arm.

  There were only a few ordinary lines of dialogue between the two, but with the eyes, micro-expressions and movements of both parties, it was simply a live show of affection!

  The customers in the entire cafe were full of dog food!

  Gu Ran secretly breathed a sigh of relief: Ha! So this is the Stanislavsky system of acting: realism.

  Really useful!
