“If I lose, I’ll treat the two of you to fried chicken. If you lose, apologize to this sister,” Song Jia said.

Lu Zhen didn’t expect Song Jia to suddenly mention her.

When the two children heard “fried chicken”, they subconsciously swallowed their saliva and nodded without thinking. “Alright! But are you sure you want to bring her to compete with us? Don’t say that we’re bullying you.”

“It’s fine. You two are children. I’ll give in to you. Are you ready? Let’s start!” After Song Jia finished speaking, Lu Zhen felt the bicycle speed up again. She was really a little afraid now and had no choice but to hug Song Jia’s waist tightly.

“Don’t be afraid. Trust me.” Song Jia felt that Lu Zhen, who was leaning against his back, seemed to be a little nervous, so he comforted her softly.

Lu Zhen nodded and looked at the two children beside her. She felt competitive. “I’m not afraid. You don’t have to care about me.”

Song Jia lowered his head and could see Lu Zhen’s arm wrapped tightly around his waist. He could feel a burning sensation on his skin under her arm. Song Jia tightened his grip on the handlebars and held back the strange feeling in his heart.

The three bicycles sped along the wide asphalt road. The two children were riding children’s bicycles. Although there was no problem with their performance, because the wheels were relatively small, they were still slower than large bicycles.

Although Song Jia’s bicycle was a large model, he was still carrying a person, so it had a certain impact on his speed.

Overall, this was considered a fair competition.

Song Jia and the two children agreed that whoever reached the T-junction first would win. Because this place was mountainous, the road was not always flat. There were ups and downs. A few ups and downs were a test of the rider’s physical fitness.

When they reached the second uphill road, the breathing of the two children beside them clearly began to become chaotic. The fat little boy’s forehead was already covered in fine sweat.

However, Song Jia didn’t look tired at all. His breathing was still even and steady.

At first, Lu Zhen was a little worried for Song Jia, afraid that he would lose to the two brats. However, along the way, she realized that no matter how fast the two children rode, Song Jia would not fall too far behind them. He seemed to be deliberately pressuring the two children and followed closely behind them.

Seeing that they could not shake Song Jia off no matter what, the two children became even more anxious. They no longer had the smugness they had at the beginning, and their eyes became more and more flustered.

Before a bend, Song Jia suddenly whispered, “Hold on tight.”

Lu Zhen was stunned. She felt the fast-moving wind whistling past her ears. Song Jia controlled the bicycle and steadily drifted beautifully after entering the bend. The bicycle tilted slightly and perfectly fit the curve as it quickly passed through the bend.

There was nothing special about accelerating on the straight path. Only by accelerating on the bend could one see the true level. The two children behind him were stunned. By the time the two children used the conventional method to pass through the bend, Song Jia was already dozens of meters ahead.

A few minutes later, Song Jia arrived at the T-junction. After the bicycle stopped, Lu Zhen felt her legs go weak when she got out of the car.

When the bicycle floated past the bend just now, she was a little afraid that she would be thrown out. She hugged Song Jia’s waist tightly and pressed her face against Song Jia’s back, even letting out a short scream.

“Are you alright?” Song Jia saw that Lu Zhen seemed to be a little unsteady and hurriedly supported her. “I’m sorry. I shouldn’t have accelerated.”

Lu Zhen waved her hand to show that she was fine. Then, she gave him a thumbs up. “Impressive. You’re not a professional, are you?”

“Not really. I’m just an amateur.”

The two of them chatted for a while before the two children arrived. The two of them got off the bicycle and parked it by the roadside. After walking over, they looked at Song Jia awkwardly. “You won.”

Song Jia looked at Lu Zhen and gestured for the two children to fulfill the bet.

The two children took a deep breath and their facial features seemed to be twisted into a ball. They looked at Lu Zhen very reluctantly. “Um, I’m sorry. I shouldn’t have mocked you.”

Lu Zhen was not angry to begin with, but when she heard the two children apologize to her, she still felt quite refreshed. She nodded and thought for a moment before saying, “It’s wrong for the two of you to fool around on the suspension bridge.. Perhaps you think it’s fun, but what if the suspension bridge is in disrepair and something really happens because of the two of you?”
