Chapter 138 Rejected After Asking to Date
I finally said it.

But after he finished speaking, Cao Yuan felt his heart pounding even harder.

So, how will Cuilan answer?
Is she willing or not?
Cuilan looked at Cao Yuan in front of her, and he seemed to overlap with her from a hundred years ago.

Cuilan almost agreed.

After all, one of the reasons she came to the human world was to find Cao Yuan.

She never expected that she would be so lucky to meet Cao Yuan, who lived next door and was her neighbor, on her very first day in the human world.

Unexpectedly, even without the memories of her past life, Cao Yuan seemed to have fallen in love with her at first sight.

Cuilan had naturally witnessed their interactions over the past month.

Now, Cuilan knows that Cao Yuan is confessing his feelings to her and making a promise to her.

only……

She looked up, but instead of answering whether she was willing or not, she asked something else.

"Cao Yuan, there are some things I want to ask you, and I hope you will answer truthfully."

"it is good."

"Cao Yuan, are you a bit timid? For example, are you afraid of killing fish, or seeing some cruel scenes, or corpses?"

Although Cao Yuan didn't know why Cuilan would suddenly ask these questions, since she had asked, he would answer them.

only……

Cao Yuan originally thought that as a grown man, how could he be so cowardly?

However, Cuilan said that she hoped he would answer truthfully, and Cao Yuan did not want to lie to Cuilan.

He admitted that, although he is a doctor, birth, aging, illness and death are normal occurrences in hospitals.

However, Cao Yuan is a practitioner of traditional Chinese medicine and rarely comes into contact with patients who are about to die. Because of some supernatural rumors circulating in the hospital, he also clocks out on time every night.

"Yes, I'm quite afraid of these things, Cuilan. Do you think I'm timid and cowardly? I... I will try my best to become brave."

Cuilan remained silent in the face of his promise.

She recalled that Cao Yuan had told her about the first time he went to see someone being executed, the scene of someone being beaten to death. At that time, Cao Yuan fainted on the spot and later fell seriously ill, almost losing his life.

After that, I became even more timid.

Cuilan then asked, "So, are you afraid of ghosts?"

“Ghosts? Of course I’m afraid of them. I think a lot of people are afraid of ghosts.” Cao Yuan said almost without thinking.

He didn't see that Cuilan's eyes dimmed after he finished answering.

You're afraid of ghosts.

But I am a ghost.

No matter how well I disguise it, my true nature cannot be changed.

Cuilan thought that if Cao Yuan knew she was a ghost, he might immediately give up the idea of ​​dating her, and might even be so frightened that he would run away.

Moreover, there is another reason.

"If we date, you want us to get married, right?"

"Of course." Any relationship not aimed at marriage is just playing around.

Cuilan's heart was empty at this moment.

Get married.

But she is a ghost, and Cao Yuan is a human. Humans and ghosts are inherently different, so how could they possibly get married?

Cuilan suddenly stood up. "I'm sorry, Cao Yuan, I cannot agree to your relationship."

"If there's nothing else, I'll head home now."

After saying that, Cuilan turned and walked out.

Cao Yuan was stunned for a moment, but quickly came to his senses.

He reached out to pull Cuilan.

"Why, Cuilan? Is it because you don't like me?"

"Or do you think I'm too timid? I can change."

“Cuilan, although we’ve only known each other for a little over a month, I can tell that you have feelings for me too.”

"Why won't you agree? Isn't it too early? Was I being too presumptuous?"

"Cuilan, don't be angry, and don't answer so quickly. Go back and think it over carefully, okay?"

Towards the end, Cao Yuan's tone was almost pleading. Cuilan ultimately said nothing and left.

Helpless, Cao Yuan could only let go of her hand and watch her walk further and further away before his eyes.

That night, Cao Yuan couldn't sleep.

He thought about it all night, but he still couldn't figure out why Cuilan rejected him.

If it's because he's timid, then...

Cao Yuan made a decision in his heart.

For the rest of the time, the two continued to commute to and from get off work together, but Cao Yuan could clearly sense that they were talking less.

To be precise, it was Cuilan who was talking to him less.

He was afraid of saying the wrong thing and angering Cuilan, so he didn't dare to say anything more.

The atmosphere between the two was somewhat oppressive, making Cao Yuan feel uncomfortable.

That evening, for the first time in his life, Cao Yuan actively searched for horror and ghost movies and started watching them.

He wanted to build up his courage!
He felt that it must be because he was too timid that Cuilan rejected him.

If he becomes braver, might Cuilan accept him?

That night, after watching a horror movie, Cao Yuan was so afraid to even go to the toilet that his face turned deathly pale.

When I'm sleeping, I always feel like there are strange noises in the house, and I always feel like something strange will appear as soon as I close my eyes.

He was scared.

but……

"Cao Yuan, don't be afraid, don't be afraid! You have to be brave. Think of Cui Lan. You have to be a brave hero who can protect Cui Lan!"

In fact, Cao Yuan is so timid because he was frightened when he was a child.

When he first encountered a horror movie, he was so frightened that he had nightmares for half a month.

After that, he never watched horror movies or ghost movies again.

Sometimes I accidentally come across it and quickly skip it.

Now, for Cuilan's sake, he is willing to take the initiative to overcome his fears.

That night, Cao Yuan tried his best to convince himself to stay awake for the first half of the night, but he still didn't dare to sleep.

I didn't fall asleep until the early hours of the morning.

But after falling asleep, I started having nightmares.

In his dream, there were all sorts of ghosts and spirits haunting him.

……

Cuilan felt that her rejection was a huge blow to Cao Yuan.

Otherwise, why would Cao Yuan be in such poor condition these past few days?

My face has been deathly pale these past few days, with dark circles under my eyes, clearly indicating that I haven't been getting enough rest.

Actually, Cuilan hasn't had a good time these past few days either.

She even doubted whether she had made a mistake in coming to the human world to find Cao Yuan.

Would Cao Yuan be better off without her?

After all, Cao Yuan had already been reincarnated and had no memories of his previous life.

But now, because of her appearance, Cao Yuan has fallen in love with her.

But she was unable to respond to Cao Yuan.

Cuilan knew that Cao Yuan had not given up.

But what should she do?
Should I confront Cao Yuan and tell him that I'm actually a ghost?

But Cuilan became timid again.

She was afraid, afraid that those eyes, which were filled with her, would be filled with disgust, fear, and rejection towards her.

So wait a little longer.

Let's see if there's a way to have the best of both worlds.

A few more days passed. That evening, Cao Yuan suddenly saw Cuilan get into a man's car. The man was about his age, and Cuilan seemed to know him quite well...
