The first time Ren Leshan was kicked, he hadn't reacted yet.
Had she lost control when she slid down from above, and kicked him by accident?
He thought his disguise was pretty good. Anzhi Tinglan probably didn't know he'd seen through her true face, and would keep up the act with him.
After all, it was easier to act friendly and then shove someone down without warning than to kick them down with force right from the start.
