She continued to sit by the riverside for a while before she got up and followed the stone steps to the road ahead.
Ji Yi was so distracted by the thought of what Lin Ya did that she didn't notice the road and slipped on a rock, causing her to unexpectedly fall to the ground.
The piercing pain woke Ji Yi up in an instant.
She was spread out on the ground for an embarrassingly long time. When the pain gradually subsided a little, she forced herself up and realized just how painful her ankle was as she tried to walk.
She hastily turned on the flashlight on her phone, bent over to check her ankle and realized it was starting to swell up.
So as it turned out when she accidentally tripped, she twisted her ankle.
Ji Yi wasn't too far from the hotel she was staying at. It would take just over ten minutes to walk back.
