Ye Qian stood quietly in front of the large window in the office. The sunlight, like golden threads, passed through the transparent glass and gently fell on his face, as if carefully outlining a faint golden edge around his silhouette. His long fingers unconsciously tapped on the windowsill with a slow yet slightly chaotic rhythm. His thoughts had already drifted far away, and his mind constantly replayed the thrilling scene that had just occurred. That miraculous ability to seemingly see through the inside of others' bodies and perceive the subtle flow of qi and blood was like a double - edged sword. While it brought him excitement and joy, it also simultaneously bred a deep sense of unease. He was well aware that this power beyond ordinary people's understanding was like a treasure hidden in the darkness. Once casually revealed in broad daylight, it would surely cause endless ripples, like throwing a stone into water, and bring him countless troubles.
"Zhang Wei, have you felt any discomfort in your heart recently?" Ye Qian slowly turned around, his gaze falling on Zhang Wei, his colleague who had just regained consciousness. His tone was as calm as water, but his deep eyes inadvertently revealed a trace of barely noticeable concern.
Zhang Wei was clearly startled. He never expected Ye Qian to suddenly bring up such a question. He subconsciously shook his head, a confused expression appearing on his face, and replied, "No. I've never felt any problem with my heart."
Ye Qian's brows furrowed slightly, the two eyebrows trembling like willow leaves stirred by a gentle breeze. In his mind, the scene he had seen in the qi and blood flow perspective clearly emerged. Near Zhang Wei's heart, the flow of qi and blood presented an abnormal state. The disordered trajectory seemed to silently warn of some potential danger, like an undercurrent surging beneath a calm sea surface, ready to set off a tempest at any time. "I still suggest you go to the hospital for a detailed examination. Your qi and blood flow was a bit abnormal just now. I'm worried there might be some problems near your heart."
Zhang Wei's face instantly turned as pale as paper, completely bloodless. His lips trembled slightly, and he opened his mouth as if something was stuck in his throat, unable to speak for a long while. Actually, he had never told anyone that he did sometimes feel a vague discomfort in the heart area. However, for a long time, he had always thought it was caused by the heavy workload, so he hadn't paid much attention to it. But Ye Qian's words were like a bolt from the blue, causing an inexplicable panic to well up in his heart. The panic spread rapidly like a tidal wave, submerging him.
"How... how did you know?" Zhang Wei's voice trembled, like a candle flame swaying in the wind, on the verge of going out. His eyes were filled with horror and confusion.
Ye Qian just smiled slightly. The smile was like the warm sun in spring, giving people a warm and reassuring feeling. He didn't directly answer Zhang Wei's question. He just gently patted Zhang Wei's shoulder and said in an encouraging tone, "Trust me. It's always good to get it checked." At this moment, the heavy door of the office was slowly pushed open, making a slight creaking sound. The boss walked in with steady steps. He was a middle - aged man with a slightly plump figure. The slightly bulging belly seemed to hold the abundance of life. There was always an amiable smile on his face, like a blooming sunflower, giving people a kind feeling. "Zhang Wei, are you all right? I heard you fainted just now." The boss's tone was full of concern, and his eyes scanned Zhang Wei back and forth, filled with worry.
Zhang Wei quickly nodded and forced a slightly embarrassed smile on his face, replying, "I'm fine. Thanks to Ye Qian."
Only then did the boss turn his gaze to Ye Qian. A flash of undisguised admiration instantly appeared in his eyes, as dazzling as a meteor streaking across the night sky. "Ye Qian, you did a great job. Well, you accompany Zhang Wei to the hospital. The company will cover all the expenses." He paused slightly, as if thinking about something, and then added, "After all, you were the first to notice that something was wrong with Zhang Wei. With you there, I'll be more at ease."
Ye Qian nodded slightly. He understood that this was the boss's trust in him. This trust was like a heavy weight, making him feel the weight of responsibility. At the same time, it was also a recognition of his ability. That recognition was like a beam of light, illuminating some hidden corners in his heart. "Okay, I'll accompany him."
In the hospital, the spotless white walls looked somewhat dazzling under the illumination of the lights. The pungent smell of disinfectant filled the air, like invisible tentacles tightly entwining everyone, creating an inexplicable sense of depression. Ye Qian quietly accompanied Zhang Wei as they shuttled among various departments, like a loyal guardian. Watching Zhang Wei complete one examination after another, his expression was particularly solemn. Zhang Wei also gradually began to realize that Ye Qian's previous words might not be unfounded but had some profound basis.
During the break while waiting for the examination results, Ye Qian strolled alone in the long hospital corridor. His gaze seemed to be pulled by invisible threads and was attracted by an old man sitting on a bench. The old man was dressed in extremely plain clothes. The fabric looked a bit old but was very clean. His hair was already gray, as if covered with a layer of frost by the years. His face was covered with deep and shallow wrinkles. Each wrinkle was like a footprint left by the years, telling the story of the vicissitudes of life. The old man was taking out a bottle of medicine from his slightly shabby bag. His movements were a bit slow, and his hands trembled slightly as he prepared to take the medicine.
At this moment, Ye Qian's miraculous perspective - viewing ability was inadvertently activated. In front of his eyes, a visible picture seemed to appear. He saw that the flow of qi and blood in the old man's body was in an extremely unsmooth state. The qi and blood that should have been flowing smoothly were now like a stream struggling to move forward on a rugged mountain road, stumbling. Especially in the heart area, there was an obvious blockage, like a huge boulder lying across a river channel, hindering the normal flow of water. Ye Qian's heart was moved, and the thought of helping the old man quickly took root and grew in his mind. He involuntarily walked over with light and firm steps.
"Sir, are you also here for an examination?" Ye Qian walked up to the old man, bent down slightly, with a polite and gentle tone and a sincere smile on his face.
The old man slowly raised his head. A trace of wariness first appeared in his cloudy eyes. The wariness was like a startled fawn flashing by in his eyes. "Yes. When you get old, there are always some minor ailments in your body." The old man's voice was a bit hoarse, carrying the vicissitudes of the years.
Ye Qian nodded gently. He didn't directly mention what he had seen. Instead, he tactfully suggested, "I think you seem to have some discomfort in your heart recently. Have you had a heart - related examination?"
A flash of surprise instantly appeared in the old man's eyes. The surprise was like a stone being thrown into a calm lake, causing ripples. He did have a history of heart disease, which had been a secret he had kept hidden in his heart and hadn't even told the closest people around him. He raised his head, his eyes fixed on Ye Qian, and a flash of gratitude appeared in his eyes, like seeing a glimmer of hope in the darkness. "Thank you for your reminder, young man. I'll pay attention."
Ye Qian smiled and nodded. He knew that his ability was like a magic key that could open the door to helping others. But at the same time, he also knew that during this process, he had to be more cautious and not easily expose his special ability, just like guarding a precious and dangerous treasure.
