Semua Bab The Rising Temperature between Me and My “Step-brother”: Bab 211 - Bab 220

Asher was dressed in a black T-shirt and gray shorts, keeping a very low profile, but in the crowd, he still stood out the most.With his good looks and great physique, just standing there was enough to be captivating."In nature, the most common method for male animals to court is by fighting and competing with other males. This is a cognition ingrained in our genes over millions of years of natural reproduction, meant to select the most capable male."Sharman's words left Wendy baffled. Why had the topic suddenly shifted to reproduction?The next second, Sharman cast an approving glance at Wendy."Wendy, your boyfriend would be at the top of the food chain."This... was a compliment, right? Wendy blushed and smiled. He really was impressive in every way—looks, physique, all top-notch, strong earning ability, stamina, and reproductive ability...Wendy looked down at the airport floor tiles. She needed to calm down and cool off a bi

Wendy walked out of the private box, holding the bouquet as she descended the steps against the flow of the crowd.On the field, Asher had been watching and waiting for her.His gaze shifted from looking upward to meeting hers directly as she walked firmly toward him.Wendy was pulled into the man's embrace, the flowers pressed between them. Her cheeks flushed slightly—he was holding her so tightly."Asher, congratulations on winning the game!"Her lips curved into a smile, eyes bright as she looked up at him. Suddenly, his arms loosened their hold, and their locked gaze shifted downward.Before all his teammates, fans, and reporters, Asher knelt on one knee and pulled out a deep blue velvet box from his pocket.When he opened it, the players nearby erupted in cheers—inside lay a large, dazzling diamond ring.The big screen broadcast the quarterback's proposal in real time. Many people's first reaction upon seeing t

Asher said, "Not really. It's just that the bathroom counter is now cluttered with all her skincare products. So many bottles and jars. It looks messy."Neil gloated, "Mark my words. Girls all gradually integrate into your life like this. At first, they only take up a little space. Later, you'll find your place has become hers, and you have to ask her where to find anything. That's my situation. Before, my dorm was full of my ex-girlfriend's stuff. Her clothes almost burst the wardrobe, and those bags that can't even fit a phone... she had so many..."Asher directly refuted Neil's point, saying it was absolutely impossible for what Neil described to happen.First, he would be the dominant one in a relationship. There was no way something as stupid as his home being taken over without him realizing it would occur.Second, he also wouldn't get a girlfriend like Wendy Wu.That evening, after having dinner with the team and doing two hours of individual training, it was eleven o'clock whe

An Unpleasant Stranger?Asher's gaze followed Wendy, coming to rest on her tightly closed door.After leaving the restaurant that evening, he went back to the training base. In the gym, whether running or doing weight training, he was distracted.He knew his tone had been awful. She was, after all, a girl, not like those insensitive, oblivious players on the team who wouldn't listen unless you yelled.So he was off his game all night, thinking about coming back to apologize to her, but then...Asher ran a hand through his blond hair, feeling somewhat irritated as he returned to his bedroom.Early the next morning.After finishing his morning run and about to head into the shower, Asher ran into Wendy just as she was leaving her bedroom in the hallway.She had changed into outdoor clothes—a white short-sleeved shirt paired with a denim miniskirt. Her hair was pulled up into a high ponytail, revealing her fair, slender neck. Her eyes were round and bright, giving off a sunny, refreshing

Wendy walked towards the stairs holding a blanket, pretending to cast a disdainful look at Asher."How could you think I was waiting for you? Hahaha! You're so arrogant! I would never wait for you."Asher chuckled softly, his gaze drifting away before returning to Wendy.Did she know that when she said things like that, wearing her cute little bear pajamas with her sleep-mussed hair...It seemed a lot like she was acting spoiled?As she passed by Asher, Wendy caught a faint scent wafting from him.It was a woman's perfume.It was normal for there to be women at the gym, but who puts on perfume before working out?Wendy looked down at the black training bag in Asher's hand. He hadn't gone to the gym tonight; this bag was a disguise!What kind of occasion calls for a disguise? A secret one, something unspeakable, something done in the dark, on the sly...Wendy's thoughts drifted along with the ambiguous scent, automatically playing out
