Lu Zhen was a little surprised. “Doesn’t that mean that the peach blossoms have bloomed?”
Song Jia nodded and parked his bicycle. “Let’s go take a look. We’ll cross the suspension bridge first.”
The two of them walked to the suspension bridge and realized that it was quite simple. It looked like it had been built many years ago.
Lu Zhen did not dare to go up and stood hesitantly. Song Jia could tell that Lu Zhen was nervous and afraid. He stretched out his arm. “If you’re really afraid, you can grab me.”
They were already at the bridge, and Lu Zhen didn’t want to give up halfway. After hesitating for a moment, she grabbed Song Jia’s arm with one hand and held the iron chain handrail of the suspension bridge tightly with the other.
There were many tourists on the suspension bridge. The entire bridge swayed a little, but it was not obvious. Lu Zhen heaved a sigh of relief and slowly moved her feet.
Song Jia’s arm was very stable, and Lu Zhen felt much more at ease. However, what made her a little embarrassed was that the two of them were holding hands and looked no different from the couples beside them.
The two of them walked to the middle of the suspension bridge. Lu Zhen prepared to speed up and reach the other side in one go.
However, at this moment, two seven or eight-year-old boys suddenly rushed over from the other side of the suspension bridge. Their foreheads were covered in sweat, and they looked like they were having a good time. After they reached the bridge, they jumped up and down happily.
The suspension bridge immediately shook violently, and the wooden boards under their feet creaked. It sounded fragile and dangerous, as if they would disintegrate at any moment.
Lu Zhen was shocked. She lost her balance on the violently swaying suspension bridge. She cried out and her body tilted.
Song Jia immediately grabbed Lu Zhen with one hand and grabbed the rope of the suspension bridge with the other to maintain his balance. The two little boys did not stop. They seemed to find the swaying fun and jumped even more happily.
The swaying of the suspension bridge became more and more intense. Many people cried out in surprise. There were also people who shouted angrily at the two mischievous children.
Song Jia originally only wanted to grab Lu Zhen’s arm, but the suspension bridge was shaking too much. He hesitated for two seconds before his arm went down and wrapped around Lu Zhen’s waist.
Just as the two of them were barely maintaining their balance, Lu Zhen saw a middle-aged man behind Song Jia fall towards him. The middle-aged man looked like he weighed about 150 kilograms. If he bumped into Song Jia, both of them might fall.
“Someone behind you is about to fall,” Lu Zhen reminded him anxiously.
Song Jia reacted quickly and immediately carried Lu Zhen to the side.
The middle-aged man who almost fell hit the iron chain, causing it to shake violently. Song Jia almost lost his grip on the iron chain, and his body swayed. Lu Zhen was afraid that the two of them would fall, and her face was pale. She subconsciously hugged Song Jia’s waist tightly.
One of the tourists with a bad temper couldn’t help but roar, “Whose child is this? If you continue to jump around, I’ll throw you down!”
The two children finally stopped moving, and the bridge gradually stabilized.
Song Jia heaved a long sigh of relief. He looked down and saw that Lu Zhen had buried her entire face in his arms. Her body was still trembling slightly. Her arms were wrapped tightly around his waist, like a drowning person clutching a straw to clutch at.
Song Jia’s heart raced. He was worried about Lu Zhen and hurriedly patted her shoulder. “Don’t be afraid. It’s fine.”
Lu Zhen slowly looked up from Song Jia’s arms, her eyes still filled with panic and fear. She looked around and after confirming that she was safe, she realized what position she and Song Jia were in. She immediately let go of her arms and grabbed the iron chain behind her tightly.
At the thought that she had hugged Song Jia tightly like an octopus, Lu Zhen wished she could jump off the bridge. It was all those two despicable brats’ fault!
Song Jia didn’t look as embarrassed as Lu Zhen, but he was very worried about her condition. “Are you alright? Did you get scared?”
Lu Zhen nodded. “I was a little afraid just now, but I’m fine now.”
“Then let’s hurry over. I’ll hold your hand.” At this moment, Song Jia couldn’t care less. Lu Zhen’s trembling in his arms just now almost made his heart ache.
Song Jia reached out his hand. Lu Zhen hesitated.
Song Jia looked generous. If she acted coy now, it would make her look too ungentlemanly. Besides, she was indeed frightened just now and didn’t dare to walk the suspension bridge alone
Lu Zhen had just reached out when Song Jia immediately held her hand tightly.
Lu Zhen’s hand was a little cold. It was small and soft. Holding it in Song Jia’s palm, she looked very obedient..
