Having freed himself from Eddie, Huang wasn't feeling too good either. The guy had gripped his throat so hard it hurt, making it difficult for him to breathe. Clutching his "chest" and panting heavily, Huang suddenly realized... Wow, this feels pretty good!
But now, without any impulsive means at his disposal, he could only find solace in reminiscing about his former glory, reaffirming his determination to swap bodies with Eddie.
Huang intended to have a good talk with the soul inside Eddie's body, but he didn't anticipate Eddie's strong retaliatory instincts. One moment he was throwing tantrums like a Wudang master, and the next he was charging at Huang with red eyes, only to be promptly taken down by the timely arrival of Wu Liang.
As Eddie, inhabited by Ma Xiao's soul, couldn't tolerate the fact of being knocked down by her fiance, Wu Liang, he stared at him resentfully. "Ah Liang... You hit me?"
Seeing the big man with that terrifyingly resentful look, Wu Liang couldn't help but shiver, then spat out, "Of course, I hit you! Want to try touching Ma Xiao again?"
Ma Xiao's soul inside Eddie's body, witnessing herself being mercilessly beaten by her fiance, couldn't bear the fact. In desperation, she blurted out the most intimate thing between them, crying, "You jerk!"
Wu Liang froze for a moment, then grabbed Eddie's collar, looking back at Huang with embarrassment and annoyance. "Why did you tell him everything?"
Huang rolled his eyes. "Just shave the hair off, what's there to be afraid of? A real man doesn't fear anything!"
Wu Liang said angrily, "The point is the 'little' part!"
Huang couldn't care less about their squabble; he just wanted to get Eddie out of there and sort out the situation. He quickly intervened and said, "Stop it, don't fight anymore!"
Wu Liang was puzzled by Huang's sudden change of attitude. "Xiao, why are you protecting him? You even scolded me. What's going on?"
"Hey, focus! Stop talking nonsense!" Huang said, annoyed by Wu Liang's questions.
Huang finally managed to drag Eddie away to a quieter spot. He shook him vigorously. "Hey, wake up! There's something I need to tell you!"
After several shakes, Eddie finally regained consciousness. "Why did you hit me?" he asked, confused.
"Forget that! The point is, do you still want this body?" Huang pointed at himself.
"Wow, what's going on?" Eddie seemed bewildered. "Is this how broad a journalist's job description is?"
"What nonsense are you talking about?" Huang asked, getting straight to the point. "Remember when we were struck by lightning and our bodies swapped?"
He emphasized, "I'm... Eddie, and you... Ma Xiao. We've switched bodies. Do you understand now?"
Eddie blinked. "What nonsense are you talking about? Did the lightning strike you silly?"
Before he could finish his sentence, Eddie suddenly made a mournful expression, his voice turning gentle and soft. "Ah Liang... you hit me?"
Wu Liang felt a sudden chill, then grabbed Eddie's collar and turned to Huang with embarrassment and anger. "Why did you tell him everything?"
Huang widened his eyes. "Why are you nitpicking about everything?!"
Wu Liang said angrily, "The point is the 'little' part!"
At this moment, Huang couldn't bear it anymore. He dragged Eddie away, fearing that things would get worse. Eddie's soul, now in Ma Xiao's body, was confused. "Why did you suddenly protect him?"
"What's wrong? Why did you call me 'little'?" Huang asked, puzzled by Eddie's sudden change in demeanor.
"I'm Ma Xiao, who are you?" Eddie's voice suddenly turned soft and gentle.
"I'm Eddie!"
"Then who's inside my body?"
Huang couldn't believe what was happening. "Are you Ma Xiao or Eddie?"
In the next moment, the tall man suddenly acted coy and feminine. "Of course, I'm Ma Xiao..." Before he could finish, he switched back to a masculine mode. "What the hell is going on here?"
The two different voices coming from the same person, with drastically different expressions and gestures, felt incredibly eerie. "Oh my god... this is insane!" Huang was shocked.
But then he quickly realized what was happening. After experiencing both time travel and body swapping, his ability to accept the situation had increased dramatically.
Damn it! He had taken over Ma Xiao's body, while the real Ma Xiao was now living with Eddie.
