Ran Yu first stiffened, then turned tail and ran.

But after only a few steps, she tripped over something, falling onto the concrete with a "thud," sprawling face first.

Pain tore through her kneecaps, as if they were about to break…

"Aren't you getting up?" Lu Ziheng spoke again.

Ran Yu pursed her lips, at a loss for words to describe her feelings at that moment.
