On Friday, Wendy returned home.

As she had expected, Asher wasn't there.

After their breakup, Gina rarely mentioned Asher or the team in front of her. But wherever she went—the café, cafeteria, or gym—she would still hear news about the team: what events they had lined up, or details about parties happening on certain dates.

In those conversations, Asher's name came up most frequently. He was the face of Lightning, even of SU, remaining as busy as ever.

Wendy had also thought that even if he wanted to come home, logically, the villa Edward bought nearby should be his real home.

On Sunday, Wendy and Gina went shopping. Sam drove Wendy to the mall downtown. As Wendy was about to get out of the car, Sam called her back, opened his wallet, and handed her a few large bills.

Spring had arrived; it was time to shed the heavy winter clothes and put on beautiful new outfits. Sam couldn't go shopping with his daughter, but he made sure to support her financially.

Sam also reminded her that mid-

  • The Rising Temperature between Me and My “Step-brother”   Chapter 173: 204°F

    Compared to last week's grueling match that pushed Asher to physical exhaustion, the homecoming game was much more relaxed.To secure a win and maintain morale, this week's football game wasn't scheduled against top-tier opponents for the home match. Of course, there were still cases where teams thought they had an easy win but ended up losing.But Asher and the rest of the Lightning players wouldn't allow such a joke—losing due to underestimating the opponent—to happen.The victory was smooth, almost like a spectacular performance put on by the Lightning players together.Ten minutes before the game ended, Wendy found Hayden. She wanted to go to the players' tunnel to greet Asher and congratulate him on winning the match. His performance today had once again captivated everyone. But as soon as she suggested it, Hayden stopped her, telling her not to rush off just yet.Somewhat reluctantly, Wendy remained in her VIP seat, waiting for th

  • The Rising Temperature between Me and My “Step-brother”   Chapter 172: 203°F

    Hearing someone mention something about "hot" and "kiss," Wendy's mind felt dizzy as she pulled away from Asher's embrace."Wendy."Just as she swiped her card to enter the dorm building, someone called out to her. It was Gao Xinran, who had been discussing a group project with her teammates in the lobby."Hi," Wendy waved at her. "Are you done with your discussion?""Yeah."The two walked together toward the elevator.Gao Xinran's face was flushed as she glanced at Wendy's swollen, kiss-bruised lips but said nothing.The elevator arrived quickly. After exchanging a few casual words, Wendy was about to get off on the second floor when Gao Xinran couldn't resist calling out to her again."Wendy, your boyfriend kisses you with such raw desire!"The scene outside the window had left her mouth dry and her body feverish.Everyone had been seriously discussing their group presentation when someone suddenly said there wa

  • The Rising Temperature between Me and My “Step-brother”   Chapter 171: 202℉

    Last night, after learning that Wendy had no classes this afternoon, Fanny Wen had Sam take Wendy grocery shopping in the morning. They visited two different supermarkets in one trip and ended up filling the fridge completely.Unlike Sam, who preferred buying frozen ready-to-eat meals, this time the fridge was packed entirely with fresh fruits, vegetables, and meat.After dinner, Wendy was watching TV on the sofa while Sam sorted through emails, seeing which were bills and which were advertisements. Fanny Wen cut up a plate of fruit, placed it on the table, and sat down beside Sam."Daughter, see if there are any Chinese-language programs on," she said."I'm not sure, let me check," Wendy replied. She rarely watched TV, preferring to search for whatever she wanted to watch on her computer."Sam, do you know?" Fanny Wen asked."I'm on the road too much to watch TV," Sam said. "When I get home, I just turn it on for background noise to make th

    This tall, strong, golden-haired foreign guy is my daughter's boyfriend?!Fanny Wen was taken aback.Forget about the fact that her daughter was dating a foreign boyfriend; she had never even heard Wendy mention having a boyfriend in America. Wendy had returned to China for both winter and summer breaks without saying a word about it. Fanny Wen froze for a moment, her eyes scanning Asher up and down.Wendy first introduced Asher to Fanny Wen using Chinese, then switched to English to introduce her mother to Asher. Although he could understand some Chinese, the introduction for this first meeting needed to be more thorough.After they became acquainted, Wendy shook Asher's arm. "So why did you come tonight?""Wait a moment." After saying this, Asher turned back to the bench in front of the dormitory building. He had something to give Wendy.Wendy looked in Asher's direction, her eyes widening instantly. She immediately went up and snatched it right from him. "My puppies!"Inside were t

    Walking all this way, Wendy was overjoyed. She hadn't drunk any alcohol, but her feet felt as if they were stepping on clouds, her whole body light and floating."What's wrong?""Nothing, I was just thinking about last Saturday when we went back to your dorm together too," Wendy said. "Thinking about how you pretended to be cold, pretended you didn't like me, but actually you really like me—it's just so amusing."But there were also sad moments, like when she tested him and thought he really didn't like her, that feeling of disappointment in that moment."When I said I was afraid of being misunderstood, so I wouldn't stay at your dorm, were you very anxious?" Wendy blinked her big, bright eyes. Hah, he must have been desperate with worry, so afraid she wouldn't go.Unexpectedly, Asher glanced at her lightly and deliberately said, "It was fine.""..." Wendy's pretty little face instantly fell. "Then I'm not going."Asher smiled,

    Asher was still on an IV drip, so his movements were very gentle. When he sucked on her lips, it wasn't with his usual almost-devour-her-whole attitude. Instead, he kissed her, then paused, waiting for her reaction before coaxing her to respond.Her shoulder leaned against the man's firm chest, her entire back sinking into his embrace, gently pressed against his strong pectoral muscles. Wendy could feel the still-pumped-up muscles of a player who had just come off the field.So strong! She loved it way too much!Her breathing became rapid, her eyes hazy from the heat.Footsteps occasionally sounded outside the door. Wendy wasn't sure if Neil had left or if someone might suddenly barge in. These worries kept popping into her mind, but there was nothing she could do about them.She was pressed tightly against the man's strong chest. This possessive beast wasn't letting her go; she could only obediently accept his lingering, wet kisses.So comf
