Chapter 128 Eating Four-Fruit Soup Will Guarantee a Peaceful Life Forever
So, Cao Yuan in this life also enjoys cooking?

"Okay, then it's decided."

"Okay, okay." Cao Yuan was overjoyed to have received Cuilan's consent.

"But I have to go to work at nine, so..."

"You need to go to work at nine o'clock. Is it because you have to work overtime at the hospital?"

"No, it's another job."

"Oh, I see. Don't worry, I've calculated it, we should be able to eat around 7 o'clock."

"it is good."

Cao Yuan busied himself preparing the ingredients, but he was a little puzzled.

Is Cuilan short of money, so she works at the hospital during the day and does another job at night?

Is she having some kind of difficulty?

Cao Yuan took out his phone to check his bank account balance. He thought he could ask Cuilan if she urgently needed money, and if so, he could give it to her.

If netizens who were unaware of the inside story knew what Cao Yuan was thinking, they would definitely say that Cao Yuan is just a love-struck fool.

Today is the first day we've met and gotten to know each other. Not only does he cook for Cuilan and drive her to and from get off work, but he also plans to donate all his savings.

What else could this be but being love-struck?!
Cao Yuan made squirrel-shaped mandarin fish, sweet and sour pork ribs, stir-fried a dish of greens, made soup, and also made a four-fruit soup.

When the small bowl of four-fruit soup was placed in front of Cuilan, she was instantly stunned.

"This is my favorite dessert. I don't know if you'll like it, but you can try it. Don't eat too much. The most important thing is to eat rice and other dishes." Cao Yuan presented the four-fruit soup to Cui Lan as if it were a treasure, and even thoughtfully handed her a spoon.

This scene, almost instantly, brought Cuilan back to the past.

That was Cuilan's birthday.

She herself had almost forgotten her birthday, and she had no idea how Cao Yuan had managed to find out it.

On her birthday, I personally made her a bowl of four-fruit soup.

For this, he also spent 10 taels of silver to bribe the people in the imperial kitchen.

"Cuilan, today is your birthday. I remember that where you are, there is a custom of eating four-fruit soup on your birthday. I heard that if you eat four-fruit soup, you will be safe and sound for the rest of your life. Cuilan, if you eat four-fruit soup, you will always be safe and sound."

Cuilan was momentarily dazed. So, in her hometown, there was a custom of eating four-fruit soup on one's birthday? Did she not know that there was such a meaning behind it?

To be honest, Cuilan didn't know.

Because neither her parents, nor her brothers and sisters, nor even the Marquis, remembered her birthday, nor did anyone think to send her a bowl of four-fruit soup, hoping that she would live a peaceful and safe life for the rest of her days.

Peace and safety—what a simple wish it is.

Unfortunately, this expectation was ultimately dashed.

Cuilan picked up a spoon, scooped a spoonful of the four-fruit soup into her mouth, and soon, the familiar sweet taste swept over her.

At that moment, Cuilan's eyes almost instantly welled up with tears.

"What's wrong? Is it not tasty?" Cao Yuan was startled to see that Cuilan's eyes were red.

"good to eat."

Cao Yuan: Then why did you cry so quickly?

In the end, Cuilan drank all of the four-fruit soup that Cao Yuan had only intended for her to try.

Cao Yuan was afraid that Cuilan wouldn't like it, and since it was dinnertime, he didn't prepare much, just a small bowl.

"I didn't expect you to like this four-fruit soup so much. Should I make it for you again in the future?"

"it is good."

Cao Yuan's cooking was delicious, and even though Cuilan was now a ghost and didn't need to eat to fill her stomach, she still ate quite a lot. Cao Yuan was also very happy to see that Cuilan liked his cooking so much.

I increasingly feel that he and Cuilan are a match made in heaven, they are compatible in every way.

After dinner, it was past eight o'clock, and Cuilan had to go to her night shift.

Cao Yuan planned to drive Cuilan to work, but this time Cuilan refused.

Cuilan did not tell Cao Yuan that she worked the night shift at a funeral home.

She knew that Cao Yuan was a very timid person. Before, when he was in the palace, sometimes when the palace maids and eunuchs made mistakes and were punished with a beating, Cao Yuan didn't dare to watch. He couldn't bear to see those bloody scenes.

Cao Yuan dared not go to any of the haunted places rumored to exist in the palace.

Cao Yuan is even very afraid of pain.

So, Cao Yuan, who was so timid and afraid of pain, was beaten to death while trying to protect her.

How scared and how much pain he must have felt back then.

Back then, Cao Yuan was always the one protecting her; now, it's her turn to protect him.

I wonder if Cao Yuan will be afraid one day when he finds out she's a ghost.

Cao Yuan was feeling down because Cui Lan didn't want him to take her to work, while Cui Lan, in the blink of an eye, had arrived at the funeral home.

Director Xiao seemed to have been waiting for Cuilan. When he saw Cuilan arrive, his eyes lit up as if he had seen a savior.

"Cuilan, you've finally arrived. Only you can complete this stitching task."

In front of the freezer, not only Director Xiao and Cuilan were there, but also police officers. They stared into the freezer, their eyes red and filled with grief, their hands clenched tightly.

Where no one else could see, Cuilan saw a shadowy spirit standing in front of the freezer, its clothes clearly identical to those of the police officers.

His soul was faint and indistinct, and it looked extremely weak, even on the verge of dissipating.

At this moment, Xu Qingling unexpectedly appeared out of nowhere.

She nodded to Cuilan, and then a stream of light landed on the soul.

Cuilan could tell that Xu Qingling was saving that soul.

Otherwise, by the time she finishes repairing this body, this soul will probably have dissipated.

But why is this soul so weak?
The only thing Cuilan could think of was that this person had suffered immense torment in his life, torment that perhaps even his soul could not bear.

When Cuilan's gaze fell on the mangled body in the freezer, she already understood.

Xu Qingling left quickly. Cuilan saw that the soul had solidified considerably after the stream of light, but she still needed to do the final repairs.

She saw that the soul bow slightly in the direction Xu Qingling had left.

After the two policemen explained the situation, Cuilan finally understood the identity of the person in front of her.

At the age of 27, he was a narcotics police officer who died a heroic death. His name was Huo Qiting.

Huo Qiting became a narcotics officer at the age of 20, inheriting his father's badge number.

Yes, Huo Qiting's father was also a narcotics officer, but unfortunately he sacrificed his life.

Originally, Mr. Huo had been undercover for five years working alongside a major drug lord, and was almost able to work from the inside to take down the drug lord.

Unfortunately, a reporter, in pursuit of newsworthy stories, inadvertently leaked his and his family's information.

Not only did Huo's father die tragically, but the entire Huo family, except for Huo Qiting who was just starting elementary school at the time, including his wife, parents, and eldest daughter, were all brutally murdered in retaliation.

The first person to discover it was Xiao Huoqiting, who was on his way home from school.
