Ice and Fire novel Chapter 605

Hearing his thoughtful words, Rebecca Lin beamed and playfully giggling remarked,"Well, I know that," and tucked her arm into Lawrence's as they continued walking down the sidewalk again.

After taking only a few steps, Rebecca Lin unexpectedly asked,"Lawrence?"

"Yeah?" replied Lawrence Chu.

"Are we a couple?" asked Rebecca Lin hesitantly.

With a brilliant smile, Lawrence Chu answered her question by asking,"What do you think?" The sun shimmered down on Lawrence Chu, and Rebecca Lin was bowled over at how his already handsome features were somehow even more charming.

"I think so? I mean, well, we hang out and do stuff together like couples do," Rebecca spoke in a shy, low voice.

"Then, I guess we are," agreed Lawrence, flashing her an approving smile and basking in happiness while he pondered, 'I don't know what's happening, but, seeing Rebecca's smile always brings me the greatest joy and comfort. In my eyes, she is an innocent and lovely girl.'

"Do you think it's puppy love?" she wondered out loud.

"I dunno. I suppose," he said shrugging.

"Lawrence! Are you teasing me?" she asked indignantly.

"I dunno. I suppose," he playfully replied.

He walked Rebecca Lin to her gate, and then looked at his watch thinking, 'It's still early! If I meet Mike now, we can play basketball for two hours.

Lawrence Chu took his phone out and called Mike Yu right away.

"What can I do for you, Mr. Hero? Are you done with the pretty girl, and have some free time for your friends now?" The sarcastic words carried through the phone into Lawrence's ear.

"Hey, I have time to shoot some hoop now, where are you?" asked Lawrence Chu. He got straight to the point, to see if Mike Yu still wanted to play basketball.

"Really?" The tone in his voice told Lawrence that even though Mike was delighted, he was also surprised and skeptical about whether the invite was real. "Tell me where you wanna meet, and I will be right there!"

"How about we meet at the court near my place in an hour?" asked Lawrence Chu.

"Cool! It'll be more fun if there are more of us, so, I'll call Jason and Ben and let them know, okay?" Mike Yu suggested.

"Yeah, whatever," replied Lawrence Chu, rolling his eyes at the receiver as he clicked to end the call.

Half an hour later, carrying his backpack, Lawrence Chu got to the basketball court. He saw Mike Yu and two other boys waiting around. The four of them were acquainted with each other for they were studying in the same class.

"You're late!" snapped Mike Yu.

Lawrence tossed his bag under the basketball hoop as he shouted,"Geez, shut up and let's play!"

"Ooh, looks like Lawrence is about to kick Mike's ass!" Jason taunted smirking.
