Wendy didn't hear a single word of what Gina and Tommy were saying. Standing beside Gina, she maintained a smile as she looked at Tommy.
Suddenly, Tommy's relaxed expression shifted, turning serious. At the same time, footsteps approached from behind, and someone walked over with a powerful presence, stopping beside Wendy.
"Hi."
Wendy turned her head stiffly, like a puppet doll, and saw the man's broad shoulders filling out the white jersey—strong and sexy.
"Hi."
"We're shooting the homecoming promo here," Asher said. "Are you heading to class?"
Wendy forced herself to calm down and nodded. "Yes."
She might have been calm, but the players behind her reacted strongly. If this girl wasn't going to class, then why was she carrying books and coffee while heading toward the academic building? To dance or have a picnic?
Hearing their quarterback utter such a pointless remark for the first time, the players exchanged knowing gla
The two people in the room were locked in a passionate kiss when the lounge door suddenly opened.Accompanied by hurried footsteps, the newcomer's voice was filled with concern."Asher, the team doctor said you..."Hearing that familiar female voice, Wendy stiffened and awkwardly struggled out of Asher's embrace, because the voice belonged to...Simone.Wendy instinctively wanted to distance herself from Asher, or at least get out of his arms first, but the man's hand with the IV drip held her firmly. Could she bring herself to pull away? Naturally, she couldn't.Wendy couldn't go anywhere. Before the newcomer got closer, she whispered to Asher, "Asher, I don't want to leave, I just..."Wendy glanced at the calm man who clearly had no intention of letting her go. Fine, she thought resignedly, let it be.Previously, they had agreed that she would handle Sam, and he would convince Simone.Besides Simone, Edward was also th
But this man held her, unable to stop kissing her. Even though she was enjoying the kiss immensely, it was all his fault... He was the one who wouldn't let go, he was the one holding her tight, unwilling to release her.Kissed until her legs grew weak, Wendy opened her damp eyes, sensing that Asher still hadn't had enough. She kept swallowing saliva that by now she couldn't tell was whose, her hands gently pressed against the man's chest.This forceful kiss, Asher's kiss, brought Wendy an unusually overwhelming joy.Finally, the kiss ended. Wendy gasped for breath rapidly. As there was a slight gap in the man's embrace, she relaxed her waist and softly called his name."Asher...""I love you, Wendy."Wendy's breathing hadn't even steadied yet. Her eyes flew wide open—what had he just said?"I love you, Wendy. I love you."Asher's deep blue eyes gazed at her seriously. "I know this is hard for you to accept, and I know we've broken up. But I love you. I can't pretend anymore that I don
Wendy dejectedly carried the bouquet of flowers back to her dorm room."Hey, you're back." Eleanor came out of her room upon hearing the door open."Why do you look like that? Didn't you see Asher?""I saw him, but we didn't get to talk," Wendy said."What happened? He waited for you downstairs for a long time. Let me think... I came back about an hour ago, and he was already waiting for you then."An hour? Wendy was shocked. What did Asher come to see her for?"Eleanor, did he say why he was looking for me?""There were several girls surrounding him at the time, and he seemed a bit impatient." Eleanor shook her head. "I didn't want to get involved, so I just came straight in."Without stopping to think further, Wendy placed the flowers on the table, grabbed her keys and phone, and immediately ran out the door.She didn't know where Asher might have gone. The most likely place was his dorm room.On the way, Wendy called Asher, expecting him to hang up as she anxiously waited for him t
Sure enough, as she walked out of the ground-floor lobby, she saw the man surrounded by a crowd. Leaning against the wall, he wore a faint smile at the corner of his lips, unlike his usual aloofness, which only drew more people around him.Just as Wendy was debating whether to call out to him or send him a message, Asher noticed her and immediately made his way through the crowd toward her.In that moment, Wendy overheard murmurs like, "Didn't they break up?" "Maybe they can get back together?" "So it's still her?"Before going to bed last night, she had made up her mind—she would simply toss out the tangled mess in her heart!She wouldn't carry around speculation about whether Asher liked her or not; instead, she would genuinely feel it out through their interactions moving forward."Why are you here? I thought we were going to have lunch before visiting Hubble," Wendy said."Right, so I came to pick you up for lunch," Asher replied w

Gina glanced at Wendy, then at Asher.Late September, early autumn, on a warm and sunny afternoon, sunlight spilled over the vibrant green lawn.The handsome, charismatic star player and the beautiful, gentle college girl locked eyes from afar, finding each other precisely amidst the chaotic scene. It could almost be called the most romantic moment on a university campus in autumn.But sorry, Gina thought, she had to call "cut" director-style and interrupt this mo
