Chapter 2: Knocked Out?

Bai Xuanchen reflexively clutched his chest and showed an extremely painful expression, and soon he gradually lost consciousness. However, something magical happened. He felt that there was a drastic change happening inside of him. It seemed that a vague, transparent mist enveloped his heart, just like clouds swirling and rippling irregularly in all directions. Then, this mist quickly spread to all corners of his body, including his organs, blood vessels, and so on. It seemed as if it wanted to envelop everything.

After what seemed like a long time, Bai Xuanchen slowly woke up and saw the number on the elevator display: the 21st floor. In other words, the elevator had just reached his work floor, and the time that passed couldn't have been more than one minute. What happened just now? Bai Xuanchen was a little worried about his body. He couldn't have gotten seriously ill, right? He didn't even know what the girl he liked looked like.

Qi Han looked at Bai Xuanchen, who suddenly passed out and woke up again, and asked vigilantly, "What's wrong with you?" Xuanchen tapped his forehead casually and said, "It's nothing. I just fainted in the elevator due to low blood sugar." Qi Han couldn't help but burst out laughing, "People still faint in elevators?" She was speechless.

As it was almost time for work, the two hurriedly clocked in and walked to the office one after the other. Xuan Chen walked and recalled the scene just now, murmuring to himself, "Did I have a hallucination in my dream just now?" But the unusual sense of reality did not dispel his doubts. Suddenly, Xuan Chen came to his senses and saw Qi Han struggling to step back. He immediately knew what had happened. He decided to take the initiative and said in a weak voice, "I...I just came out of the elevator...my heart...my heart has been in extreme pain. I walked from the elevator to here, I...I've been holding on. But now, I feel like...I can't hold on much longer." After speaking, he leaned against the wall and gasped for breath, as if he was about to collapse in a few more movements.

Although Xuan Chen didn't know Qi Han for long, he still had some understanding of her personality. Despite her somewhat spoiled temperament, she was kind-hearted. Seeing Qi Han's anger dissipate after he managed to hold back his urge to laugh, Xuan Chen also suppressed his own impulse to smile and lowered his head with closed eyes. Qi Han then asked with some concern, "Should I call an ambulance for you?" Xuan Chen replied, "No need, I've been exercising too much lately and my body is just a little tired. I just need to rest." He then slowly moved towards the office, one hand clutching his chest and the other supporting himself against the wall. Qi Han watched Xuan Chen's pitiful appearance and the anger in her heart had long dissipated. She put her arm around Xuan Chen's arm and helped him walk to the office.

At this moment, Wang Dalu, the supervisor of Xuan Chen's office, happened to walk out of the office to pour tea and saw this scene. He had long had his eyes on Qi Han, but was hindered by the fact that she was Zhang Tianli's precious daughter. Wang Dalu muttered to himself, "Did Zhang goddess take the wrong medicine today? She's actually helping this useless garbage who has been at the bottom and not striving for improvement?" Then a wave of sourness rushed to his heart, thinking, "No, I can't let this little guy take advantage. I, Wang Dalu, became the supervisor of the office at the age of 30. How can this kid compare to me? Qi Han probably doesn't know the specific situation yet since she just came here, and was deceived by this shameless guy."

As he was thinking, he casually put down the cup and walked quickly towards Qihan, shouting as he walked, "What happened? Let me help you, let me help you." Without waiting for a response, Wang Dalu grabbed Xuan Chen's arm and tried to lead him to the office. However, in that moment of being grabbed, Xuan Chen suddenly felt dizzy and his consciousness was replaced by that of a woman. He could only hear her furious roar that only he himself could hear, "Get out of here!" A mysterious force flashed like lightning on his arm and then... he saw Director Wang lying in a corner, barely conscious and staring at him with a look of horror like he was a monster, his mouth twitching as he mumbled, "You... you... you..." before passing out.

Standing behind them, Qihan complained, "Principal Wang just wanted to help you, why did you push him so hard?" In fact, in that moment, Xuan Chen knew something had happened but didn't know what. He knew his consciousness had been switched, but he had no idea what was going on. Nevertheless, he immediately told Qihan in a serious tone, "Principal Wang just pulled my arm's reflex nerve. That was just a reflex action of my arm." "What the f*ck is a reflex action," Qihan muttered to herself, unable to resist cursing, but she managed to hold it in for the sake of her ladylike image.

The commotion outside startled the colleagues in the office. Everyone looked at the fallen Wang, some called for an ambulance while others tried to revive him. Xuan Chen silently returned to his own office, his mind constantly sorting through the various bizarre things that had happened today, trying to make sense of it all. Unfortunately, no matter how he tried to think, he couldn't come up with any reasonable explanation.

At this moment, someone lightly tapped on Xuan Chen's shoulder. He raised his head and saw Qi Han looking at him with a curious expression, calmly saying, "Director Wang has already been sent to the hospital. The doctor's preliminary assessment is that there's nothing serious, but he may need to stay in the hospital for a few days." "Oh," Xuan Chen responded mechanically, his thoughts in disarray. Even though he saw the beauty in front of him, he didn't have much energy to respond. "Do you know Kung Fu?" Qi Han asked again. "A little bit, I was in the army before," Xuan Chen replied. However, Xuan Chen completely misunderstood Qi Han's meaning, thinking she was referring to the move he used to fend off Director Wang's attack, which she couldn't see clearly. "No wonder," Qi Han continued with a look of admiration, "By the way, my dad wants me to go to the nearby Han city next week to discuss some business, and he asked me to choose an assistant to go with me. Since I'm new here and don't know many people, and I'm lacking in business knowledge, I think you have a good personality and business skills, so why don't you come with me?" Even the cold goddess's tone was a bit coquettish. "Okay," Xuan Chen responded mechanically, "That's settled then. I'll go fix the car first." After that, he ran away in a flash.

Xuanchen didn't actually pay attention to what Qihan had said earlier. He just thought she was asking him to do some work and casually agreed. He spent the rest of the day in a daze and didn't see Qihan when he left work. Back at home, he ate some takeout and played games, but couldn't muster any enthusiasm. "I need to go to the hospital tomorrow," he said to himself. And with that, he fell asleep in bed. The life of a middle-aged, single dog living alone was truly bleak.
