All Chapters of The Rising Temperature between Me and My “Step-brother”: Chapter 121 - Chapter 130

Both their eyes were red and swollen. Who would have thought they still had so many tears left to cry? Right there in the first-floor lobby of the dormitory—a place bustling with people on a Sunday afternoon—two girls clung to each other, crying without caring about their image.After a long while, when both had calmed down a bit, Gina followed Wendy back to her dorm room.Inside the room, Wendy closed the door and spoke nervously, "I have to confess something. It might... be a bit shocking...""Are you trying to tell me that mysterious person is actually Asher?"Wendy froze, her face instantly flushing bright red. "How did you know?!""Simple." Gina, tear stains still on her face, couldn't help but smile proudly. "Once I knew you and Asher were acquainted, it was easy to guess. His girlfriend has the same birthday as you, you always manage to get those hard-to-get tickets, and your jersey... Actually, the hard part wasn't figuring out that you and Asher are dating—the hard part was r

She pointed casually. "The right one, I guess."Asher carried his luggage into the left room....The room was spacious, clean, and neatly organized, with a bright floor-to-ceiling window. Lifting the white sheer curtains, Wendy saw a stunning view of the entire city.Tomorrow was Thanksgiving, and the festive atmosphere was already palpable. Leaning against the window, Wendy looked out. Not far from the hotel, the street was being prepared for the next day’s Thanksgiving parade.Thanksgiving was to Americans what Spring Festival was to her—the most important holiday. Tomorrow’s parade was sure to be spectacular and fun.She really wanted to go!Wendy glanced toward the door but decided against asking him.Looking back at the park beside the parade route, she saw many colorful large umbrellas set up. Upon closer inspection, they were stalls crowded together, bustling with activity.It looked like a market.She couldn’t hold back anymore.Wendy opened the door, walked to Asher’s room,

Waiting at the crosswalk for the traffic light to change, Wendy glanced at the man beside her. He wasn’t wearing a baseball cap, and his hands were tucked coolly into his pockets. She couldn’t tell if he thought the chances of being recognized here were lower than in D City or if he simply didn’t care.Probably the latter. With his handsome but cold face, even if passersby recognized him, they wouldn’t dare approach him.Wendy: “If you don’t want to browse, you can go back first. I don’t necessarily need to be with you.”Asher didn’t respond, just looked at her. Noticing something, he wrapped an arm around her shoulders and pulled her closer to him.Just moments before, behind Wendy was a family with young children browsing the market. The mother was managing a stroller while talking to her husband, who was holding a crying little boy. The child’s cries kept distracting the parents.During

His lips sealed hers. Wendy tried to lean back from the kiss, but the man seemed to have anticipated this. Afraid she might escape, he wrapped his large hand tightly around her waist."Huff~ Someone's here, Asher..."The kiss was too deep. Wendy couldn't stop swallowing nervously, her hands pressed against Asher's chest gradually weakening. After what felt like an eternity, she was finally released. Blinking her red-rimmed eyes, she looked up only to see the man's captivating face leaning in for another kiss."Mmm~"Having tasted the marrow, he knew the flavor; how could he easily let her go?In their slick mouths, two tongues entwined tightly. The sweetness of hot chocolate mixed with the tangy fruitiness of red wine—somewhat likable, somewhat addictive.When she tried to stand up, Wendy's legs went weak, and she accidentally sank back onto the man's strong thighs.Asher looked at the blushing girl and curled his lips. "You want to do it here?"Wendy stared in shock, wondering how he

Recently, for the past month since officially announcing his girlfriend, every post on his Instagram has been about her.He posted on Instagram during Thanksgiving because he was with his girlfriend.Before a game, he'd post on Instagram, saying he wanted to dedicate the victory to her.At the Halloween masquerade, his Batman cosplay was stunning, his robust and sexy physique earning countless hearts.
