Chapter 141 Past life memory
As soon as Cuilan finished speaking, Cao Yuan seemed to hear a "ding" in his mind, his guess coming true.

And he guessed right!
I had expected to see Cao Yuan looking frightened or unwilling to believe it, but to my surprise, the latter's expression was very calm, as if he had expected it all along.

"You probably haven't seen what I look like as a ghost yet." Although she didn't want to scare Cao Yuan, since things had come to this point, she might as well not hold back.

A shimmering light enveloped Cuilan, and the next second, Cuilan changed.

You could say she is still herself, but she is not the same person she was just now.

Her face was still the same, but her clothes had changed. She was no longer wearing a cheongsam, but a set of elaborate classical costumes for ancient palace maids, and her hair was styled in an ancient bun.

Her feet never touched the ground again, and her whole body seemed to be surrounded by a sinister aura, making her look eerie.

Her previously rosy complexion was now pale and bluish.

At this moment, Cuilan suddenly felt very fortunate that she had chosen to die by drinking poison. Otherwise, if she had died by other means, the sight of her dying moment would have frightened Cao Yuan even more.

After this transformation, Cuilan indeed saw that Cao Yuan's expression had changed.

Cuilan: So, you were indeed scared after all.

What Cuilan didn't know was that Cao Yuan's expression did change, but not from being frightened; rather...

Cao Yuan had always thought that Cuilan looked beautiful in a cheongsam, but he always felt that Cuilan shouldn't be wearing a cheongsam.

Looking at Cuilan after her transformation, Cao Yuan knew that he had found the right person.

Cuilan wore clothes like this.

Cuilan's attire made him feel inexplicably familiar.

He felt as if some image flashed through his mind, but it was so joyful that Cao Yuan couldn't grasp it in time.

But Cao Yuan felt that it was very, very important to him.

He couldn't grasp the memories in his mind, but there were more important things for him to do at that moment.

Cuilan saw Cao Yuan move.

Just when she thought Cao Yuan was about to escape, he suddenly appeared in front of her and hugged her tightly.

Cuilan was a little stunned when she was suddenly hugged.

"Cuilan, don't try to drive me away. I know I'm a coward, and I was indeed afraid of ghosts before."

"But if that ghost is that little devil from before, or if that ghost is you, then I won't be afraid."

Ghosts are actually human souls; just as there are good people, there are also good ghosts.

So what's so scary about him?

In particular, Cuilan was the love of his heart.

As Cuilan was held in his arms, for a moment she felt as if she had returned to a hundred years ago, when they also drew warmth from each other on a winter night.

Is Cao Yuan really not afraid?

Do you really like her that much?

“But I am a ghost, and you are a human. Humans and ghosts are different, so we cannot be together.”

Cao Yuan stubbornly argued, "How will we know if we don't try? We can't give up before we even start."

Cuilan didn't know how to respond. She thought, perhaps Cao Yuan was right.

After a long while, Cuilan, seemingly hearing Director Xiao's voice, slowly let Cao Yuan release her embrace. "I still have to continue working. Why don't you go back first, think it over carefully, and we can talk again tomorrow morning?"

"Okay." Cao Yuan saw that Director Xiao had arrived and knew that Cuilan had something to do.

However, before leaving, Cao Yuan awkwardly asked about seeing her get into Director Xiao's car yesterday evening...

Cuilan explained helplessly and with a mix of amusement and exasperation, "At that time, there was a cadaver in the museum who urgently needed me to sew up. It was very important, which is why Director Xiao hurriedly picked me up to go to work early."

"Moreover, Director Xiao has a wife and children."

The implication was that people shouldn't overthink her relationship with Director Xiao; they were just ordinary colleagues.

Cao Yuan responded with two "ohs," indicating that he was relieved.

He didn't doubt Cuilan; he was just suddenly rejected, which made him feel inferior and uncertain. That's why he felt anxious and uneasy when he saw Cuilan get into Director Xiao's car.

Back home, Cao Yuan lay in bed, his mind still unsettled. Cuilan told him to go back and think it over, but no matter how much he thought about it, his mind wouldn't change.

Just ...

Cao Yuan kept thinking about the images that flashed through his mind, and his intuition told him that they were very important to him.

No matter how hard he tried, those images seemed to be sealed away, and he couldn't recall them at all.

In the latter half of the night, Cao Yuan lay in bed, half-asleep, and seemed to see someone.

The blue dress exudes a cool and ethereal aura, making her appear both sacred and awe-inspiring.

This person was Xu Qingling.

She was drawn here by Cao Yuan's strong desire to be with Cuilan.

"I am Xu Qingling, the Director of the Leave Request Department of Fengdu."

"Now, Cuilan is under my jurisdiction."

"Cao Yuan, do you want to be with Cui Lan?"

Cao Yuan didn't know what the Director of the Fengdu Leave Office was, but his intuition told him that if he wanted to be with Cuilan, he would need the consent of the person in front of him, or rather, the god.

His spirit rose from the bed and slowly knelt on the ground.

"Director, I want to be with Cuilan, and I hope you will grant us your wish."

"Cao Yuan, you and Cuilan are destined to be together in a past life. Would you like to see your past life with Cuilan? Or, would you like to know who Cuilan's deceased husband was?"

After Cao Yuan nodded without hesitation, Xu Qingling waved her hand, and a stream of light landed on Cao Yuan.

Cao Yuan was surrounded by flowing light, and his soul slowly returned to his body.

"You will dream of your past life with Cuilan."

“Cao Yuan, your fate with Cui Lan in your past life was not yet over. In this life, if you are both willing, even if you are human or ghost, as long as you form a marriage between heaven and earth, you can continue your past fate.”

After saying that, Xu Qingling disappeared.

At this moment, Cao Yuan began to dream.

In his dream, it was his and Cuilan's past life.

In her dream, Cuilan was a palace maid who was implicated when her mistress was banished to the cold palace, and he was a lowly eunuch in the imperial kitchen...

……

Cuilan has finished get off work.

I walked home in the early morning light.

As I approached, I saw Cao Yuan standing at her door, seemingly waiting for her.

only……

Cao Yuan seemed to be the same Cao Yuan as before, but Cui Lan always felt that the way he looked at her was somewhat different.

The emotions in those eyes were very familiar, a mixture of tenderness, heartache, and pity.

For some reason, my eyes seemed to overlap with those of a hundred years ago, eyes that had always gazed at me in the same way.

But how could that be?

Cao Yuan had long lost his memories of his past life and had been reincarnated.

At this moment, Cao Yuan jogged up to Cui Lan and couldn't resist hugging her tightly.

Before Cuilan could react, his voice choked with emotion, "Cuilan, it's me, Xiao Caozi! It's your Xiao Caozi!"

"Cuilan, I'm sorry, I shouldn't have reincarnated so early, I shouldn't have forgotten you."

"I should have waited for you forever, I wanted to wait for you, but, but they wouldn't let me. I waited for three years, but they still forcibly dragged me to drink the Meng Po soup and reincarnated."

"Cuilan, I'm sorry to have kept you waiting."
