Wan Qiqi then looked up and said gently, "Amazing! Our Mo Lin is the most amazing! Come down quickly, don't fall!"
She wasn't worried about Chen Molin coming down, but she was afraid he might slip.
If you can go up without being afraid, you naturally have the ability to come down.
As expected, Chen Molin leaped and landed steadily, running up to Wan Qiqi with a look of seeking praise.
"Oh dear, whose child is this? What if they fall?"
As the woman's voice rang out, a slightly plump woman walked in from outside the courtyard and asked with concern, "Child, is your leg alright?"
"It's nothing." Chen Molin looked at the woman with suspicion, not knowing who she was.
"Sister-in-law, what brings you here?" Wan Qiqi quickly reacted and went to greet her. "Brother Zhu is still busy!"

Lotus roots truly mature in autumn, when they taste best when dug up.

Zhu Lingshi didn't stop there. She pulled Chen Molin up and down for a while, especially staring at his legs for a long time. "Child, are you sure you're alright?"
"It's alright!" Chen Molin took two steps back.
Even though he is no longer afraid of contact with people, he still feels a little uncomfortable when he is being stared at like this.
Wan Qiqi smiled and put her arm around Chen Molin's shoulder, preventing him from backing away. "Sister-in-law, this is my younger brother, Chen Molin."
