After the rookie draft in April, the team began integration training in May to help the new blood assimilate quickly. From early June to mid-July, they underwent an intense, grueling training camp—two-a-days in the sweltering heat, playbook immersion, and brutal conditioning drills designed to forge a unit from individuals. Now, at the end of July, the training pace had slowed down somewhat. Especially with the preseason games starting in August, these core starters didn't need to play. This period was mainly for getting into shape, building stamina for the upcoming season, and maintaining their feel for the game. There were no mandatory training sessions on weekends, but disciplined players never completely relaxed. The grind was a religion, and the facility its church.

"I didn't come yesterday because I had a commercial event I had to attend," Matthew asked curiously. He and Asher were close, so he spoke casually. "What about you? That's not like your style." In his m

  • The Rising Temperature between Me and My “Step-brother”   Chapter 276: Ending

    To everyone's astonishment, Asher, who was known for his aloof demeanor and disinterest in women, did not immediately push her away. Instead, a faint, almost indulgent smile appeared on his handsome, chiseled face. The smile was subtle, but it was there—enough to make the onlookers gasp and the camera operator zoom in closer, capturing every detail of his expression.This scene was clearly captured. It was insane! Social media erupted instantly. Even though Asher hadn't refused, and even though he was tall and built like a wall of muscle, it still seemed somewhat inappropriate to treat a professional athlete like a pole-dancing prop, rubbing against him. Fans took to Twitter and Instagram, debating the incident—some were shocked, some were amused, and some were jealous, wondering who the mystery woman was.However, as the video was replayed in slow motion and analyzed frame by frame, sharp-eyed fans and onlookers noticed more details. It didn't seem to be t

    In early September, a hint of early autumn coolness began to seep into the New York air, but the fever of football was just starting to sweep across America. The NFL's new regular season officially kicked off amidst eager anticipation. The leaves on the trees had started to turn a soft golden color, and the mornings were crisp, but the afternoons still held a warm glow—perfect weather for football games and outdoor gatherings.The Suns' first game was a home match at MetLife Stadium against the northern Black Bears. This game had been marked as a must-watch by media and fans since the schedule was first announced. Billboards featuring the Suns' star players lined the highways, and sports talk shows had been analyzing the matchup nonstop for weeks.On one hand, this was star quarterback Grant Holland's debut after signing with the Suns. What kind of chemistry would the league's elite quarterback—the one with the highest passer rating over the past three year

    Wendy took the bag and, seeing the elegant logo on it, immediately guessed what was inside. Sure enough, opening the exquisite black gift box revealed two platinum diamond bracelets with a minimalist yet exceptionally high-quality design—one wider, one narrower, clearly a couple's set. She wasn't surprised; a warm sweetness welled up inside her. This kind of understated yet luxurious token was very much Asher's style. He never gave her flashy gifts, always choosing things that were timeless and meaningful, things she could wear every day.She picked up the thinner, women's bracelet and, under Asher's gaze, slipped it onto her own left wrist. The platinum's gleam complemented her snow-white, slender wrist, and the simple design wasn't overly flashy. The more she looked at it, the more she liked it. She twisted her wrist slightly, watching the diamonds catch the light from the car window, sparkling softly—just like Asher's love for her, quiet but bright.Afte

    However, what she hadn't anticipated was that her American colleagues generally placed a high value on personal privacy boundaries. Unless the relationship was particularly close or the other person brought it up themselves, they rarely directly inquired about someone's romantic status. This meant she never found an opportunity to "take the natural segue" and bring it up. She’d even tried dropping subtle hints a few times, like mentioning Asher’s favorite coffee order or a game he’d watched, but no one had picked up on them.Take Mia, for example. She might notice Wendy smiling more and seeming in better spirits, but she would never rashly guess it was because of a relationship, let alone directly ask. In her view, this was Wendy's private matter. Mia had even once mentioned that she preferred not to talk about her own love life at work, saying it kept things "professional and stress-free"—which had only made Wendy more hesitant to bring up Asher.

    On Wednesday afternoon, the setting sun draped a golden coat over Manhattan's glass facades. Asher parked his car near the TAL headquarters building on time to pick Wendy up from work. The sky was a soft gradient of pink and orange, casting a warm glow over the bustling streets, and the air carried a faint breeze that chased away the day’s heat.They had successfully moved last Saturday and went car shopping together on Sunday. Wendy was still having some difficulty deciding on the model and color, so she hadn't made a final choice yet. Therefore, for the past few days, she had been driving the spacious and sturdy Lincoln Navigator SUV from Asher's garage to work. But today, he had specifically come to pick her up for their date, so naturally they were riding together, and her SUV was temporarily left in the TAL parking lot. Asher had mentioned a new Italian restaurant he wanted to take her to, one with a rooftop terrace that overlooked the city skyline."Asher,

    "You know, it's not very convenient for me to go to the Chinese supermarket, so I always buy a lot of ingredients and stuff them in the fridge. But my current fridge just can't hold it all, and some things have to be left outside, which makes them spoil easily—" Wendy counted off on her fingers, feeling more and more justified in her reasons for moving as she spoke. She ticked off another finger, adding, “And the water pressure in the shower is terrible half the time; I can never get a good hot bath after a long day at work.”"Alright, alright, stop." Song Keling interrupted her with a laugh, making a "time-out" gesture. "If it were me hearing Asher's reasons—'big villa,' 'short commute,' 'has pets,' 'big fridge'—I would have packed my bags and moved in ages ago. Why wait until today?" She leaned closer to Wendy, lowering her voice. "So what were you hesitating about before? Couldn't bear to leave your roommate? Or... pre-marriage jitters?" David
