"Second brother, are you alright?"
"Li Xinyan! You... what brings you here?"
Li Muchen stared in disbelief at the little bundle of flesh that had appeared before him, then suddenly realized he was still lying on the ground! How utterly embarrassing!
He struggled to get up from the ground.
However, because he had been running and was terrified of the ghost, his legs had completely lost all their strength, becoming limp and weak, as if their bones had been removed, making them unable to support him to stand up.

"Second brother, don't push yourself! Yan Yan will help you."
Her sweet, soft voice was filled with worry.
"I...I wasn't trying to be brave, I...it's just that my leg was pressed down and it's a little numb..."
Li Muchen gave a very stubborn explanation, but his body still honestly leaned against the little girl, using her strength to barely stand up from the ground.
