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

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

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

"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

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
