All Chapters of The Rising Temperature between Me and My “Step-brother”: Chapter 171 - Chapter 180

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

"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

Actually, I could have gone on a trip this week.Because the team we're playing against this week isn't strong, Montahi could have been the starter, but he was afraid of a repeat of last time and didn't dare to be away from the team.After Asher left, Gina let out a long sigh."I've realized I can't use your boyfriend as a benchmark when looking for a boyfriend."Wendy withdrew her gaze, "What do you mean?"Gina said with certainty, "That would mean staying single forever!"On Sunday, Wendy returned to Sam's apartment. Fanny Wen had cooked up a large spread."Wendy, I might have to return to China earlier. Your grandmother hasn't been feeling well these past few days, and your aunt only told me yesterday."Seeing her daughter's concern, Fanny Wen quickly explained, "It's not that I'm leaving next week, just that I'll go back a bit earlier, depending on when I can get a flight. There are also many things to handle at home anyway."An

"Wait for me a little longer," Asher said. "I'll come find you as soon as I can."Asher quickly left, and the girl who had just said dating Asher might not be a good thing watched enviously."Asher actually came to find you..." The girl was somewhat incredulous. After all, the distance from the media room to the locker room was quite significant. He had just finished a game and done an interview—why wouldn't he want to rest properly instead of coming to see his girlfriend?Not to mention, the distance from the media room to the lounge was no small matter."Not only that, Asher tells Wendy wherever he goes, afraid she might worry or not be able to find him," Gina added. "Anyway, I think dating Asher must be really wonderful."Gina looked at Wendy. "Right?"Wendy nodded. "Of course."Though it was wonderful, it was indeed hard to wait.When Asher changed his clothes and returned to the lounge, he saw that Wendy was the only

In early December, the regular season of the college football league concluded. Before the divisional finals, Asher finally had a brief period to relax.But by the next day, Asher began to resent this downtime because the brutal finals week had arrived.His girlfriend needed to prepare for exams, complete final presentations for group projects, and write papers—she had no time whatsoever to see him.On Friday, after finally finishing two presentations, Wendy carved out time to have dinner with Asher.Before finals week, Sam had thoughtfully delivered plenty of food. There was his own marinated barbecue—not thick cuts of brisket, but thinly sliced beef brisket seasoned with chili, cumin, and other spices. Wendy would thaw it before eating, then slice some onions and garlic to pan-fry or grill.He had also bought Chinese convenience foods from the supermarket, including Wendy's favorite wonton noodle soup and frozen char siu buns that he thought his daughter would like. In short, he suc
