Her enthusiasm deflated, she couldn’t bear to wait until practice concluded.
Hayden: “Wendy, Asher didn’t look your way because he’s the Quarterback. He has to maintain focus and control the practice tempo—it wasn’t about your performance.”
Wendy nodded in understanding. After observing over an hour of practice from the sidelines, she recognized Asher’s pivotal role. Teammates sought his advice on their weaknesses, coaches included him in strategy sessions, and his opinions carried significant weight.
“I know. That’s exactly why I’d rather he never finds out about this. The comparison just highlights how pathetic I look.”
She preferred Asher remain oblivious to her mascot-stunt attempt at support.
“Should I have someone bring you ice water? Or perhaps orange juice?”

Neil had a smug "I knew you'd ask" look as he casually handed Asher a drink, only to be refused.Asher had driven there and didn't want to touch alcohol. Only Neil had tried to persuade him at first, but once Asher said no, no one else dared to say anything.His purpose in coming was simply to make an appearance and formally introduce Wendy to the players. The two stayed for half an hour before leaving.In the back alley behind the bar, a black SUV rocked gently, though no one was driving.Wendy was wearing a matching team jersey, her hands braced against the man's abs.She had come straight from the field to the Chinese restaurant that afternoon and hadn't changed out of her jersey. In contrast, Asher had showered and was fresh and clean.Only now, beneath her, he was sweating a little, exuding an alluring masculine hormone.The alley was quiet, dark, and undisturbed, nurturing this secret pleasure.Asher sat in the driver's s

"Wei Lang, sorry about last time. Just think I was overthinking it."Wei Lang shook his head with a smile, looking at Wendy. "What do you mean? Don't you want to be friends with me?"Wendy was taken aback. "Of course not, I—""We're definitely friends, Wendy."Wendy looked at the boy and nodded with a smile.Getting into the car, Wendy first spotted the cake box on the passenger seat."Is this cake for me?"A certain someone's expression was rather unpleasant, eyes closed as he leaned against the seatback, not saying a word.Wendy thought he was tired from today's game and showed concern for Asher a couple of times, but his expression didn't improve. Then she quickly realized and started explaining why they had dinner with Wei Lang and his family.He didn't know, so it was worth explaining."You're not jealous anymore, right?" Wendy asked.Suddenly, the man in the driver's seat opened his eyes and gav

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

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

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
