Chapter 182: 213°F

In early January, after playing 14 games and securing 14 victories, Lightning cruised into the finals.The final was scheduled for Monday, January 9th, in City T, State F.Wendy and Gina arrived in City T a day early. Asher covered both their plane tickets and hotel expenses, so Gina, who accompanied Wendy, didn't spend a single cent. Her only task was to look after her night-blind friend during the journey and on their first day at the hotel.This way, she got to enjoy a first-class flight and a luxurious suite in the players' hotel.Zara and Blake had also come, but they arrived in City T two days earlier with Simone and Edward.Wendy knew Asher had found time to meet them for dinner the previous night, but she didn't request a meeting herself. After all, the final was tomorrow, and she preferred he rest well and focus entirely on the game.That evening, Wendy sat on the outdoor balcony of her hotel room, talking to Asher on the phone.

Finals Day, T City, Baker Stadium.The VIP box where Wendy, Simone, and the others were seated was located in the middle of the first-tier stands. The box was spacious, with comfortable seats, an excellent view, and an unlimited supply of red wine, drinks, and delicious food."Hey, Wendy! Can I take a photo with you?"Wendy looked outside the box. A Black girl was waving her phone at her. The game hadn't started yet, and quite a few people had come to ask for photos with her."Of course." Wendy nodded. As long as the person asking for a photo was a girl, she never refused.Wendy opened the side door of the VIP box and walked into the aisle to take photos with fans, as outsiders weren't allowed inside the box.The girl immediately approached her as she came out. "Oh my god! You're so pretty. Wait, that jacket you're wearing is Asher's... Wow, is this a player jacket from two years ago?""You're right." Wendy smiled. This was exactly th

Chapter 184: 215°F

Generally, college players have four years of eligibility to play, but no one can guarantee they'll start as freshmen or secure a starting position right away. So, some players choose to redshirt—meaning they train with the team, wait for the upperclassmen ahead of them to move on, and hopefully earn a spot the following year.Players like Asher, who secure a starting position immediately upon joining the team—especially as quarterback, a position that relies the most on experience and skill—are few and far between.Some players redshirt because they can't compete for a spot, while others do so due to injuries, like Grant Holland."Zara, redshirting isn't a waste of time; it's about preparing more thoroughly," Wendy said. "Actually, it's the responsible thing to do.""Wow, Wendy! Hearing you say that, I understand now," Zara said, turning to Wendy as she moved her chair closer."That's not my idea—Asher told me that," Wendy

There were only ten minutes left in the game, and the score on the field was Lightning 27-29 Orcas."That big guy looks a bit slow, but how is he so fast?" Zara watched Grant Holland on the field. "He surprised me.""He's truly formidable," Wendy said.Though Holland had been injured during the game, every time he made a move, he held nothing back—a serious and respectable opponent.The numbers on the scoreboard changed as the Orcas scored another

Lightning's victory celebration was held right at the hotel where the team was staying.Everyone was waiting for Asher to arrive, but there was no sign of him.Neil had downed who-knows-how-many drinks and was half-drunk, loudly declaring that he would go to the room and drag Asher Voss down himself!No one stopped him—after all, if someone was willing to volunteer for the task, they certainly had no objections.Tap-tap"Asher!"In the hallway, Neil leaned dizzily against the doorframe, knocking on Asher's door.On the other side of the door, Wendy's clothes were disheveled as Asher held her in his arms, kissing her.He kissed her while rubbing her back, and even though he knew Neil was outside, he didn't stop.He couldn't stop. He was desperate for her, and no amount of intimacy could satisfy the longing that had been building inside him for so long.Wendy opened her eyes and looked nervously at the man. He was

At the start of the new semester, the Syracuse University campus was draped with banners celebrating their championship victory.Four consecutive championships! This unprecedented, ultimate glory filled every student with school pride, making them walk with a spring in their step. Even though it was still the harsh cold of early February, with no green buds yet sprouting on the tree branches, the campus was still brimming with vitality.A handsome black SUV slowed down as it drove along the campus roads. From time to time, people greeted it and cheered for it, simply because they knew the person in the driver's seat was their beloved Asher Voss.Inside the car, Neil sat in the passenger seat, a baseball cap covering his face as if he was sulking.Wendy: [I'd like some bubble tea.]On Friday morning, Asher received Wendy's message. By noon, he was driving downtown to buy her bubble tea.As for Neil, who was just tagging along downtown for lun

The semester had just started, and group assignments were just beginning. Today was the first meeting for the group members, and many were still unfamiliar with each other. But Asher's gesture of bringing bubble tea instantly warmed up the atmosphere.After seeing the members off, Wendy stood by the dormitory door, leaning against the glass door to keep it from closing, and waved toward the car waiting outside the building. The man got out of the car again.Getting out, closing the door – such simple actions, but he made them look suave and crisp.Wendy knew that a handsome face and a great body were essential for creating that aura."So annoying~"Wendy reached out and grabbed Asher's hand. "I won't get to see my handsome boyfriend coming to the dorm to pick me up anymore."Asher held Wendy's hand, his arm sweeping around her shoulders. "But you'll get to see the boyfriend who kisses you awake in the morning and holds you while you sl

"Hey, have you had breakfast yet?"Hearing Asher's voice, Wendy turned from the windowsill toward the door.Asher had just returned from his morning run. He entered, tossed his sweat towel onto the bathroom vanity, walked over to Wendy, and gave her a brief but sweet good morning kiss."Not yet." Wendy shook her head. She knew he had prepared a hearty breakfast for her before his run: a fruit bowl loaded with blueberries, yogurt, and a chicken breast sandwich. But she had been up for less than five minutes, had just brushed her teeth and washed her face, and wasn't fully awake yet, still wearing her pajamas.Wendy raised her hand and pointed to the pot of blooming tulips on the windowsill for Asher.They had bought them together at a flower market a month ago, the weekend she first moved into Asher's dorm.Seeing the beautiful red flowers in the living room every morning gave her motivation to get up early.Wendy stepped forward and o

Chapter 190: 221°F

There are numerous universities in the United States, with nearly a hundred schools eligible to participate in Pro Day. To accommodate all of them within a single month, multiple schools often have to be scheduled on the same day.Even for schools with weaker overall programs or those with only a few standout players, it's common for dozens to be scheduled simultaneously on a single day.On any given day, if scouts visit School A, they can't make it to School B. Professional teams frequently face such choices, but it's manageable—they simply need to know when to let go.The real pressure actually falls on these weaker schools. Without strong enough programs to attract more team coaches, they're often overlooked before they even have a chance to prove themselves.In contrast, schools like SU rarely share their Pro Day with others—no team wants to miss SU's Pro Day.In fact, the schedule is so precious that the day before and the day afte

After Pro Day, Asher and Dustin, as representatives of the State University football team, flew to State A to participate in a charity event organized by the college league.The week Asher was away coincided with midterm exams, giving Wendy the opportunity to study quietly by herself.Long-distance wasn't entirely bad.At ten o'clock on Friday night, Wendy and Connie, a member of her study group this semester, emerged from the library. They were still discussing issues with their group assignment that needed uploading to the professor when Connie noticed something and stopped abruptly. The approaching figure moved too quickly for her to warn Wendy. In the next instant, an exclamation of surprise was heard."Oh!"Focused on listening to Connie, Wendy didn't notice the man stepping out from the shadows and walked straight into his chest.It didn't hurt—she had collided with a firm, muscular chest—but she was badly startled. Her sha
