“Yes, very good. Smile.” Song Jia adjusted the angle of his cell phone and actually looked professional. Lu Zhen smiled unnaturally, completely unlike her usual ease in front of the camera.
Song Jia looked at Lu Zhen’s stiff expression on the camera and smiled helplessly.
“Hey, what’s that?” Suddenly, Song Jia looked to Lu Zhen’s right. Lu Zhen subconsciously turned to look.
There were only rows of trees there. There was nothing else.
Lu Zhen quickly realized that Song Jia was teasing her. She turned to look at Song Jia gloomily, her cheeks puffed up in dissatisfaction, and her eyes widened slightly.
Song Jia immediately pressed the camera button.
“I really didn’t expect you to know how to tease people,” Lu Zhen said speechlessly.
“Sorry, if you’re angry, why don’t you think of a way to punish me?” Song Jia smiled and put away his cell phone.
Punish him? Lu Zhen felt that this statement was a little ambiguous. How could she dare to punish her boss? She was still counting on him to give her a salary.
Lu Zhen put on her mask and hat and looked at the sky. At this moment, the sun had already risen above her head. It was not dazzling and was about to be the warmest time of the day.
Lu Zhen suggested that they could go down the mountain. They were almost done strolling in the peach forest.
On the way back, she still took the drawbridge. Although there were no brats fooling around this time, Lu Zhen still didn’t dare to cross the drawbridge alone. In the end, Song Jia led her across the drawbridge.
“Slow down.” Because he was taking care of Lu Zhen, Song Jia walked very slowly.
Although the two of them were holding hands, Song Jia’s grip was very gentlemanly. He just pinched Lu Zhen’s wrist neither lightly nor forcefully. But even so, Lu Zhen felt the temperature on her face rise bit by bit. Her wrist, which was being held by Song Jia, felt like it was being roasted on a bonfire.
After crossing the suspension bridge, Song Jia unlocked the bicycle. After pushing it out, he suddenly turned to look at Lu Zhen. “Do you want to try?”
Lu Zhen was stunned. Try what? Riding a bicycle? She was a little tempted, but she felt that she definitely couldn’t learn it. Just as she was hesitating, Song Jia had already placed her hand on the handlebars encouragingly.
Lu Zhen sat on the bicycle seat, but her legs did not dare to leave the ground.
Song Jia patiently guided her on how to maintain her balance. “Ride boldly. I’ll be behind you. I won’t let you fall.”
Lu Zhen held the handlebars nervously and placed her legs on the pedals one after another. As soon as her second leg left the ground, her entire body and the car tilted to the side. Song Jia immediately held the bicycle steady.
Lu Zhen tried a few more times, but she did not succeed. After a few experiments, she wasn’t so afraid anymore. This was because Song Jia would help her up in time every time she was about to fall. When she looked ahead, she could feel Song Jia’s gaze on her.
Lu Zhen tried again. Just as she found a sense of balance, two bicycles suddenly passed by her slowly. On the bicycles were the two children who had just pranked them on the suspension bridge.
One of the children looked at Lu Zhen and laughed out loud. “Wow, why are you so stupid? You’re already so old, but you don’t even know how to ride a bicycle?”
The other child seemed to be showing off his skills. He let go of the handlebars and placed his hands on his face. He made a face at Lu Zhen and smiled proudly.
Lu Zhen did not expect to be mocked by the two children. She was not angry, but she was not in the mood to continue practicing.
Lu Zhen let go of the handlebars. Song Jia couldn’t see Lu Zhen’s expression clearly, and he didn’t know if she was angry or depressed.
The two children had already gone over on their bicycles. Song Jia took the bicycle handle and said to Lu Zhen, “Come on.”
Lu Zhen did not understand, so she got on the bicycle. The bicycle slowly accelerated. To Lu Zhen’s surprise, it was much faster than when it came.
“Are you afraid?” Song Jia asked.
Lu Zhen had also practiced riding a bicycle for a while. Although she had not learned it, she had familiarized herself with the feeling of riding a bicycle. She was no longer afraid.
“I’m not afraid,” Lu Zhen said, not knowing what Song Jia wanted to do.
“Okay.” Song Jia nodded slightly and looked ahead at an even faster speed. Soon, Song Jia caught up to the two children. The three bicycles advanced together. The two children turned around and looked at Song Jia in surprise. Song Jia glanced at the two children. “Want to compete?”
The two children looked at each other. Children were more playful. The two of them were suddenly interested and their eyes lit up.. “How are we going to compete? What if you lose?”
