Never Late, Never Away Chapter 1623
“What are you talking about? The one beside her is clearly her boyfriend. Give up!”
When the group of boys saw Joan, they saw the friendly side of the goddess of their hearts.
The two chatted merrily as they walked toward the basketball court. Joan did not realize that more people were gathering around them, but Larry did. However, he did not mind the crowd; he was used to a scene like that.
After reaching the court, the two found a spot to sit down. As they looked at the moving figures on the court, various memories washed across their minds.
Yet, the blissful session was short-lived as someone who could not read the situation arrived.
“Hey, the one sitting over there. Do you have the guts to win against me, one-to-one? If you lose, I want to take the girl beside you out for a meal,” a tall boy provoked after walking toward them.
Clearly, the boy was interested in Joan. Despite the fact that Joan already had Larry beside her, the boy refused to give up. He still wanted to try his luck in this way.
In the past, Larry would not have bothered himself with such provocations. After all, the capable ones would never provoke him in this way, and he looked down on such actions.
However, he was in his old college and reminiscing his youthful days. Thus, he found himself feeling impulsive.
He did not blame the boy for provoking him. To Larry, the boy was just inexperienced in life.
Impulsively, Larry agreed to it.
“Sure, I can go up against you one-to-one, but the girl beside me is mine. You won’t win against me, nor will you take her away,” Larry enunciated, feeling ardent about the situation.
“Who knows what will happen?” the boy huffed. “I like the girl beside you. I hope we can have a fair fight, so even if I lose, I won’t be reluctant to admit defeat.”
The boy was bold, and Larry fancied his character. There was nothing wrong with being daring, and Larry was more than willing to fulfill his request.
