Both worlds are like dreams

The past eighteen years and the present eighteen years are like a fateful reincarnation. The past is the cause, the rebirth is the result, the cause and effect cycle, this fate will eventually come to an end.

"Since you have made your decision, I will respect your choice." The boy looked at her seriously, "But this time, no matter what the outcome is, you will never have a chance to start over again."

"I understand," Xue Huang said frankly, "Thank you."

Without him, she wouldn't have this chance to be reborn. Without him, she really couldn't do many things on her own over the years. He is her biggest trump card and reliance. He has saved her life many times when she was at the brink of life and death. For Xue Huang, he is her patron saint, who can solve all her troubles, so her thanks are from the bottom of her heart.

"Now that all the truth is known, you should wake up. You have been sleeping for a long time."

"How's your recovery going?"

"I'm fine, I just can't lend you my strength."

"You just said that my blood can restore you. What's going on?"

"Can not remember."

"If I give you a little more of my blood, will it help you recover faster?"

The boy raised his eyebrows and said, "Why don't you go out and try?"

Xue Huang smiled and said, "Can I call you Mu Guang from now on?"

"random."

"I'm leaving."

Mu Guang waved his hand lightly, and Xue Huang only felt a white light in front of her eyes, which made her unable to open her eyes.

She didn't know how long it had been before she heard the sound of wind chimes beside her ears. It was clear and melodious, like the whisper of the breeze.

Xue Huang slowly opened her eyes and saw a string of brand new shell wind chimes hanging on the bedside. There were many small bells on it, all made of emerald green jade, so the sound was so mellow and pleasant.

She moved her hand, and just as she tried to wake up, she found that her hand was held by someone. She sat up slowly and looked at the person lying on the bed, who was sleeping soundly at this time. It was Gu Qinglan.

Xue Huang felt a pain in her heart, and all the past events flashed before her eyes, and she couldn't help but feel tears welling up in her eyes.

No wonder she felt so familiar with him when she saw him, it turned out that they had known each other for a long time. And he had given so much for her, including his life.

Xue Huang gently stroked his eyebrows. She didn’t know how long she had slept. She only felt that this big dream seemed to have gone through her past and present lives. The feeling of fate was so clear.

Gu Qinglan, her brother Qinglan, he has always been here.

Xue Huang couldn't help but shed tears. I'm sorry, I caused you to lose your life in my previous life. I'm sorry, I forgot about you for so many years.

Gu Qinglan seemed to have had a nightmare. He suddenly opened his eyes and unconsciously tightened his grip on her hand.

He quickly sat up and looked at Xue Huang. Seeing that she had woken up and was looking at him, he was stunned at first, then hugged her tightly. "You finally woke up."

His embrace was so warm that Xue Huang couldn't help but be greedy. She put her arms around his back and tears streamed down her face in an instant.

After a long while, she wiped away her tears and comforted him softly, "Brother Qinglan, don't worry, I'm fine."

Gu Qinglan held her tightly and refused to let go. He knew that she was already engaged and that he shouldn't have come to see her, but he was worried. He thought that he had to at least see her wake up and make sure she was safe. But when she woke up, he was greedy for the short time he had with her.

Xue Huang was naturally reluctant to let him go, especially after she knew the past. Her feelings towards him became more complicated and inexplicable. She wished that it would stay like this forever and they would never be separated.

But she knew in her heart that she had more important things to do. She wanted to get back the blood debt, she wanted Gu Qinglan to live well and realize his wish of a prosperous world.

"You've been asleep for six days. I thought you didn't want to wake up and face me again."

"How could that be?" Xue Huang nudged his shoulder, somewhat coquettishly. "You're so nice, how could I bear to ignore you?"

Gu Qinglan was silent for a moment, then slowly let her go, looking at her with a hint of guilt and uneasiness in his eyes, "Do you know everything?"

Xue Huang nodded.

"Sorry……"

Xue Huang stopped him from continuing, she knew what he wanted to say.

As General Sima under Shen Congfeng, Gu Rongchuan was naturally one of the generals who attacked Beiyuan. Xuehuang didn't know whether he had anything to do with the war between the two countries, but she believed that Gu Rongchuan, whom she had seen in her dream, was a righteous gentleman who was very strict in leading troops and managing his family. He was a very kind person, at least in Gu Qingli's memory, he was a good person.

Since Gu Qingli never blamed him, Xue Huang naturally wouldn't blame him either.

Moreover, if Gu Rongchuan really participated in provoking the war and massacring the people of Beiyuan, how could Wei Yunzhou and Xu Yao become friends with Gu Qinglan given their personalities?

"You don't need to apologize. This has nothing to do with you. It has nothing to do with your father."

"Do you believe him?"

Xue Huang nodded. She believed in Gu Rongchuan and the Gu family because they were all her relatives.

Gu Qinglan held her hand, his eyes full of heartache and guilt for her, "I'm sorry, I kept it a secret from you for so long. But I still hope you never know, you should have lived happily forever."

Xue Huang smiled and said, "This is my destiny. But I am still very happy to work towards the same goal with you."

"I will make the truth of what happened back then known to the world and make the culprit pay the price he deserves."

"Okay." Xue Huang smiled. "I believe you."

"Then..." Gu Qinglan hesitated, "Can you not marry Mo Yunchen?"

Xue Huang was slightly stunned, and Xu Yao's previous question echoed in her mind: Do you really want to marry your enemy for the sake of Gu Qinglan?

After a moment of silence, Xue Huang said calmly: "The engagement has been made, how can it be changed?"

Gu Qinglan felt a pain in his heart. The marriage was related to the alliance between the two countries and could not be easily changed. But he still couldn't bear it. He couldn't bear her to be so wronged. So even if he would die, he still didn't want to give up any chance. And as long as Xue Huang was willing, he believed there would be a turnaround, but she still chose Mo Yunchen.

He couldn't help but cover his heart. The pain from the heart-eating insect kept surging like a tide, devouring his flesh and blood.

Xue Huang was shocked to find that his face was full of pain. She didn't know if he had enough antidote after sleeping for so long. "Brother Qinglan, where is the antidote?"

Gu Qinglan endured the pain and shook his head, saying, "I'm fine. I just took it yesterday."

Xue Huang frowned, thinking of what Mo Yunchen had said before. Each antidote was only effective for three days, but as long as Gu Qinglan got close to her, he would be affected.

Thinking of this, she quickly pulled back her hand, and her expression became a little colder, "Brother Qinglan, I'm fine now, you can go back first."

Gu Qinglan couldn't help feeling a little disappointed. He forced a smile and said, "You've been sleeping for so long and haven't eaten anything. I'll go get you some food you like and leave after you finish eating."

I don’t know if he was afraid of hearing Xue Huang’s rejection, but after he finished speaking, he hurried out.

Xuehuang looked at his back and felt very sad. Gu Qinglan always took such meticulous care of her.
