Xie Qi could feel his heart hammering wildly against his ribs. The sound was deafening, a relentless, thundering drumbeat—*thump-thump, thump-thump*. He instinctively pressed a palm over his chest, trying to calm the frantic rhythm, but it was futile. Finally, he couldn't help but murmur, "948, my heart is beating so fast."
