Before figuring out the details, Chen Yuan was still very cautious.

Although he had the Chao Zi by his side, they were, after all, rule-based abilities. They were indeed powerful, but when faced with sudden situations, such as a ghost suddenly jumping out and stabbing him, he wouldn't be able to foresee it.

Therefore, he had a great respect for the unknown.

However, when he learned that this damn ghost could only blow air and suck air, and couldn't even appear in the mirror in the middle of the night, Chen Yuan wanted to howl with laughter.

Even if she could really manifest in the middle of the night, as long as she couldn't cause any real harm to him, what was Chen Yuan afraid of?

He would just spray Niao all over her!

So, at this moment, he was very arrogant, and his momentum was at its peak.

So what if you call yourself a ghost?!

"..." An Ruxue, like a snow person, no, the ghost was frightened to death. She froze on the spot and looked tense.

No, she was fine just now, why did he suddenly turn hostile?

Moreover, he turned hostile after knowing that she couldn't threaten him…

Would he have obeyed if she had been very powerful?

"I, I don't have any bad intentions... please believe me." An Ruxue shook her head, being grabbed by the wrist with nowhere to escape, and quickly explained.

"So, you followed me home?" Chen Yuan didn't care about any of that, and immediately questioned her.

"...Yes." An Ruxue nodded honestly, admitting it.

"What did you see?" Chen Yuan continued to ask.

"You were eating shrimp next door, studying here, reading the diary..." An Ruxue said truthfully.

"And then, after twelve o'clock, you were forced to fly back to that ginkgo tree, right?" To verify his guess, Chen Yuan asked curiously.

"How did you know?" An Ruxue looked surprised, because the other party couldn't see her.

Ghosts can't be seen by normal mortals.

"When you left, there was a strange gust of demon wind."

"I see..."

After Chen Yuan explained, An Ruxue understood. Then, she honestly lowered her head again and apologized, saying, "I peeked, and I hid in your room for a long time, and I even lay next to you to read your diary for a while..."

"No wonder it was so cold!" Chen Yuan solved the case.

So, you want to play Yuanshen, huh?

Even lying on my bed!

"..."

An Ruxue had nothing to say, and because she had been caught, she could only lie down and be mocked. So, she simply said, "Okay, then do as you please."

"What do you think I want to do?" Chen Yuan felt that her words were a little strange and quickly clarified with a counter-question.

"Whether you hit me or scold me... it's all the same."

When she said this, An Ruxue realized that she could actually feel things in his dream.

Isn't this the same as being able to live in his dream?

A dead person can actually find a sense of reality.

"Hitting you and scolding you? That's far from enough." Chen Yuan said righteously.

"..." An Ruxue was a little frightened by what Chen Yuan said.

What exactly does he want to do to me?

Isn't your personality very gentle?

How can you be so relentless?

Or is it that you are only gentle to people, and ghosts can't be considered people in your eyes at all?

She didn't expect Chen Yuan's humanistic care to be so narrow.

It doesn't apply to the dead.

"Tell me the truth."

Chen Yuan stared at this mischievous An Ruxue, and after she became a little scared, he seriously said, "Did you secretly eat my shrimp?"

"...Huh?" An Ruxue was dumbfounded, never expecting that the thing that angered him was this.

At this moment, Chen Yuan couldn't help but laugh.

Gradually, he let go of her hand.

He walked to the ginkgo tree and sat down.

An Ruxue looked at him in confusion.

So, is he angry or happy?

Does he think she's annoying, or does he think she's interesting?

"Ruxue, sit down." Chen Yuan said casually.

"..."

She was actually addressed with the affectionate nickname Ruxue, and An Ruxue was a little flattered. Then, according to his request, she sat down beside him and looked at his profile, completely puzzled.

Why is Chen Yuan in a good mood again?

"Actually, I didn't receive a dream revelation."

"Then how did you know my story?"

"I can see the past memories of an object."

Since the other party was a ghost, Chen Yuan didn't hide it and said directly, "I bought that hairpin at a street stall, and I was originally going to sell it for money, but I touched its history, learned your story, and knew where you hanged yourself. So, I want to return this item to you. After all, you were wearing it when you committed suicide, which means it's very important to you, right?"

"...Not important." An Ruxue shook her head and murmured, "At first, I thought it was important because it might be the only happy memory in my life. But later, after I died, I realized that every moment with him was not worth being happy about."

"Good awareness, which means you've grown up."

"I'm probably almost five hundred years old, do you think I've grown up?" An Ruxue smiled, feeling that his statement was very strange.

"You only look like eighteen years old."

"Because I died at eighteen."

"But why aren't you surprised that I can touch the memories of objects?"

"I'm already a ghost, why should I be surprised?"

This sentence made Chen Yuan understand.

That's right, she's already a ghost, so why can't she accept the Chao Zi?

And since I already have the Chao Zi, why do I think that ghosts aren't materialistic?

Seeing ghosts and firmly believing that there are ghosts in this world is also a form of materialism!

"Although it's not good to say this, I still want to say it."

Chen Yuan looked at the beautiful girl in red sitting next to him and said gently, "After seeing your life, I feel angry for you, I feel sorry for you, and I hate for you. At the same time, I also think you are too pitiful, meeting such a person and experiencing these things. All these grievances piled up together, and after death, you became a wandering soul that cannot be reincarnated. In short, An Ruxue, you've worked hard."

When the three words "you've worked hard" were spoken, An Ruxue wanted to cry so badly.

Her expression was like a dam that had burst, unable to hold back.

It's so hard.

Living is so tiring, loving someone is so tiring, waiting is so tiring, expecting is so tiring, dying is so tiring, and not feeling tired... is also so tiring.

Why am I so pitiful?

Why do all these sad things happen to me, a weak woman?

Even after death, I can't get peace.

Is there no chance for happiness in the next life?

She should have cried like Xia Xinyu, but for some reason, no matter how sad or upset she was, she couldn't shed a single tear.

Perhaps it has something to do with her being a ghost.

Slowly, Chen Yuan stood up, extended a hand, and looked at An Ruxue, "Come."

An Ruxue was stunned for a moment, then stretched out her hand and grabbed his hand.

Then, she was pulled up.

"You remind me of Xia Xinyu, she is also a pitiful person. But the difference is that you died and became a wandering ghost that cannot be reincarnated after death."

Chen Yuan was compassionate, even though the other party couldn't even be called a living being.

But why must a wounded heart be placed in a body?

A ghost lost in the world is also very pitiful.

"Then, I will fulfill your unfinished wish and send you to reincarnation."

Since you met me, not someone else, then you escaped being taken advantage of... ah no, a bad ending when you are cold.

"..." An Ruxue, who thought she was going to be retaliated against, suddenly heard such heartwarming remarks and didn't react at all. "Then why did you ask me if I had any cultivation techniques..."

"For ghosts without abilities, my way of dealing with them is to help if I can. For those with abilities, I can only exorcise them." Chen Yuan explained.

The law of the dark forest is everywhere.

This represents the laws of operation of all things in the world.

If the other party is an unstable factor that he cannot control, no matter how pitiful or miserable they are, Chen Yuan will strike them to death with lightning, after all, they might suddenly become a fierce ghost.

Both humans and ghosts are pitiful because of their weakness.

"Then I understand." An Ruxue nodded, revealing a smile, "Thank you so much."

Then, she walked towards Chen Yuan and hugged him.

And Chen Yuan, in order to fulfill her wish, also gently patted her on the back, with less vigilance and more 'care'.

It's just to send An Ruxue away happily.

Then, the two maintained this posture for a full half a minute.

Finally, Chen Yuan was puzzled, "No, why haven't you turned into golden light and shed tears before disappearing?"

That's how *AnoHana* is acted!

After hugging so well, as if she really had a beloved person, An Ruxue, who was immersed in it, paused, then raised her head, looked at him, and asked in confusion, "Why, why haven't I disappeared?"

"Is there anything else you want to do?"

After thinking for a while, An Ruxue weakly asked, "Did you do anything else with your girlfriend today? I just looked envious..."

"You mean?"

"You said it was spicy..."

Chen Yuan was stunned, then stared at her and asked uncertainly, "After doing it, your wish will really come true?"

"I don't know... but, I haven't done this kind of thing, if there is a regret, it may be this."

"There are many things you haven't done."

Love.

"Actually, I don't want to force you, and I don't want to be the kind of coquettish and cheap woman who seduces good men."

An Ruxue lowered her head and said frankly, "As long as I don't have to stay in the world, it's okay to be eliminated."

Eliminate you?

That also requires me to be able to do it.

"Then, then come on."

Anyway, the other party is a ghost, anyway, it's not a real person, anyway, after being sent away happily, she will never appear again...

After thinking this way, Chen Yuan gradually calmed down.

And An Ruxue also nodded gratefully, then raised her head, closed her eyes slightly, and moved her red lips closer to him...

However, she found that even though she was very close, she still couldn't touch him.

So, she opened her eyes and then saw Chen Yuan turning his face away, just dodging.

Then, she followed again, taking the initiative to ask for a kiss, but at the moment of kissing, the other party avoided again subconsciously.

"Is it, is it not okay?" An Ruxue asked in a self-deprecating manner.

"A little lacking in emotion."

Chen Yuan held his head and fell into thought.

Sure enough, doing this kind of thing with a female ghost is psychologically unacceptable.

The other party is not ugly, and there is no strange smell. Although her fingers are a little cold, it's no different from when Yuzi has a cold...

The most important thing is that he can't kiss anyone other than Xinyu.

Seeing this, An Ruxue also turned her face away and looked to the side, quite embarrassed.

The two were in a stalemate for a long time.

Suddenly Chen Yuan opened his mouth and said, "Do you ghosts dream?"

"Ah?" An Ruxue shook her head and replied, "No, we don't."

"Don't dream?"

Hearing this, Chen Yuan suddenly realized that this was not entering the other party's dream.

If ghosts cannot dream, where am I now?

The only possibility is that this is my dream.

And since it's my dream...

"Close your eyes." Chen Yuan said to An Ruxue.

"Oh, okay."

Even if she didn't understand, An Ruxue still did as she was told.

Slowly, she closed her eyes.

This is my dream.

So, I can control the dream like Xinyu.

Chao Zi:

Domain expansion, Unlimited Void!

"Wh-what are you doing?" An Ruxue saw Chen Yuan making a strange gesture and asked in confusion.

Chen Yuan's face turned red, and he immediately said sternly, "Close your eyes!"

"...Oh, I understand."

An Ruxue closed her eyes.

Gradually, she seemed to hear the wind.

Also, the sound of leaves.

Haven't all the leaves on the trees fallen?

Where did the leaves come from?

"Open your eyes."

An Ruxue, slowly opened her eyes.

Then, she saw a mansion, with vermilion doors and large red lanterns hanging at the entrance.

Isn't this my home before it was raided?

Looking back, there were several people carrying a large red sedan chair.

But those people were all blurred, like insignificant supporting characters, as if they would never appear in their lives a second time.

Also, there were many people standing around, watching this grand wedding.

Among them was Chen Yuan, wearing a Hanfu robe. Although he didn't wear a crown and had short hair, he also had a kind of ancient and handsome charm.

"I don't know where this dream will go, making your Ruan Lang the protagonist would be a little disgusting for you. In short, I can't let you wear this wedding dress for nothing."

Chen Yuan looked at her and said with a smile, "As a guest, I'll just ask for a cup of wine."

With that, a pot of warm wine appeared in his hand.

Then, he handed another cup to An Ruxue.

An Ruxue took it gratefully, wanting to cry but without tears. She could only smile, hold the cup with both hands, and toast with a smile.

After the two drank it all in one gulp.

Chen Yuan conjured up a red hijab, like her family member, and covered her head.

"Chen Lang, I can't see..."

"Follow me."

Pulling An Ruxue, he lifted the curtain of the carriage, then helped her into the car, and the curtain fell.

"Is this, is this your wish?" Chen Yuan asked.

"Yes." Separated by a curtain, An Ruxue responded softly, "This, is my unfinished wish."

"Then, congratulations on the wedding."

Chen Yuan bowed politely to the carriage, then watched her carriage gradually disappear.

He thought about it, actually this love tragedy only missed one point.

That is, the husband that her father found for her, the slightly older scholar, died.

If he were alive, he might be much happier than he imagined.

Otherwise, why would she wear a big red wedding dress and commit suicide by hanging herself with rouge on her lips?

Because An Ruxue, she wanted a formal marriage with an eight-carried sedan chair.
