He turned his head to the front after looking at Wu Zhang and Song Jia from the rearview mirror and cheering silently in his heart . But when he did, he noticed a car coming in their direction with great speed . He panicked and rotated the wheel as fast as he could to avoid bumping into the approaching car .
The car turned to the left with a screeching sound before it stopped . If the car would have stopped even a moment late, they would have crashed right into a tree next to the road . Li Jing's forehead got covered in cold sweat as he realized that they had very narrowly escaped death .
AdvertisementAt the back seat, when the car had lost its balance for the brief moment, Song Jia got awakened due to the sudden movement and swaying . Before she could have even understood the situation, the car had stopped abruptly with a rough halt . Everyone took a few minutes to come back to their senses . It was only at that time when she noticed that her body was tightly wrapped in Wu Zhang's arms . He had pressed her against the backrest of the seat and was himself leaning forward in order to shield her and make sure that she gets injured as minimum as possible .
The first thing Wu Zhang did when he calmed down was to pull back and check if Song Jia was fine . He looked at her terror struck face and then pulled her closer to only crash her head against his firm chest and hug her in his iron grip . "Are you okay?" His voice was barely louder than a whisper and his hands were shaking, which Song Jia could easily feel at her back .
"I am fine . What about you?" She asked in a muffled voice as her mouth was pressed against his chest, which made it hard for her to speak . She struggled to pull back as his grip was almost crushing her and also because she wanted to check on him . But her gesture only made Wu Zhang tighten his grip even more . She understood his action and stopped struggling .
Instead of answering her, Wu Zhang remained quiet for a long time . "This brief moment made me realize how scary it would be if I lost you one day . "
This time Song Jia finally pulled back . "Don't think too much Zhang . I am right here, in front of you and I am fine . " She cupped her face to look in his eyes and assure him that she was okay .
Wu Zhang once again hugged her and remained in the same position for a long time, not letting her go . His shaking hands had calmed down but his heart was still in turmoil . Only after a good ten minutes had passed and he could finally believe that Song Jia was safe, did he loosen his grip on her .
While Wu Zhang was trying to assure himself that she was safe and fine, Song Jia had a different emotion in her heart .
All she could think right now was about the moment where he had tried to shield her first instead of covering himself . If the car would have crashed into the tree in front of them, Wu Zhang would have gotten severely injured due to the way he was protecting her .
It was at that moment she realized how sincere his love was for her . Not that she thought it wasn't, but she had never expected it to be so deep that he was willing to risk his own life to protect her . She understood it well that if they would have crashed, his shielding her won't have made much of a difference but that moment of consideration and care for her had tugged her heart .
She felt really emotional when she thought about it and her heart ached . She started questioning herself, thinking that what kind of a person she was . This man here was willing to put his life at stake to protect her and here she was, she had not yet even told him what she felt for him . She thought she was a fool to have made such a man wait for her for so long . He deserved to know her feelings for him and he deserved to know it as soon as possible, without delay . A small smile appeared on her lips as she thought about how she would confess her love to him and just the thought of it, made her feel ecstatic .
