His Mischievous Time-Traveler: How To Capture A Celebrity Husband?

Chapter 87: You won't run away again?

Nearly after 1000 years since Li Jun died, Kyuri is sunbathing on the porch of her home in a small town. It's been such a long time, but her body hasn't changed one bit. Her eyes carry a wisdom that one gathers after countless experiences.

After Lu Weixue died, she didn't mourn or bury herself. Though her heart is never prepared to see Li Jun's reincarnation die, she also looks forward to meeting his reincarnation again. Though their meeting is always short because she has to leave right away after meeting him, she keeps a watch on his reincarnations. She has lived her life as an invisible angel who protects and helps his reincarnations. On their death beds, she meets them again. It never ends in goodbye.

In the years, she has wandered a lot. She has learned a lot. She even made friends. They were always like winds passing through a region in her lives. The only constant person was Li Jun's soul who would come to meet her again.

"Traveler."

The voice wakes her out of her thoughts. She looks to her side. It's a little girl of around 9. She has long blonde hair and beautiful blue eyes. The girl is the daughter of her new neighbors. She likes to slip in through the garden. Kyuri has never talked to the girl despite the girl's initiations. She has already booked tickets to move to another country. In fact, she is supposed to leave tomorrow.

"Timekeeper." She stares at the girl with her cool eyes. The timekeeper didn't appear again after that day until this moment. "Don't worry. I am leaving tomorrow."

"The next reincarnation is Kang Si An," The traveler tells her quietly. "Are you ready to die?"

"You still have to wait until my time starts moving again." She punches her chest. The time crystal isn't ticking. The heart isn't beating. "You better find me before he does."

She has been long prepared to die. She wants to say goodbye to Li Jun's reincarnation and her family. She wants to find her ending. She is too tired to fight back. How long has she wandered alone? How many times has she seen him die? All she wants is to die before him now.

"You won't run away again?" The timekeeper frowns at her. "After your time starts running again, you could travel in time to escape me."

"Where would I go?" She laughs. "I have lived for more than a thousand years in the past? Then, where should I hide? What's the point of living more? I can't be with Li Jun. My love has died a long time ago. He tortured me again and again for leaving him that day. I shouldn't have fallen in love with him. I am tired. I want this to end."

Li Jun and his reincarnations would not have suffered if Li Jun didn't love her and she didn't love him back.

"You still have some years. Don't waste your time mourning him."

The timekeeper leaves the time-traveler.

A few years later, she has to return to see the little girl who has grown into an old lady. Kyuri stays with her during that lady's last moments. After the funeral is over, she returns to her country. Aunt Yoori has already disappeared. Kyuri's younger self has been visiting her grandmother. Her second aunt is already married Her father and mother lives somewhere else with her elder brother.

One day, she meets her grandmother when she is alone at her house. Grandfather is at work. It's a good time for a chat.

"Kyuri?" Her grandmother is surprised to see her. "You are here again."

Kyuri feels some warmth when her grandmother gives her a hug. Her grandmother flinches when she touches her cold skin. "Are you okay? Why is your body so cold?"

"Grandmother, I came here to tell you about Aunt Yoori."

Her grandmother becomes still. It's been a long time. There has been no news of Kwon Yoori. She is afraid that she has been caught by the timekeeper.

"You can't reveal it to anyone," Kyuri says to her solemnly. "It will create a problem for her and me if you do that."

Her grandmother wraps her arms around herself and prepares herself mentally for the news.

"Aunt Yoori lived a happy life. She found happiness with a prince named Wu Yixing. She had two daughters. Her eldest daughter had the same name as you." Kyuri sits beside her grandmother. "She probably wanted to come back, but she couldn't abandon her family. I want to tell you that she lived a happy life and died without regrets at an old age."

Her grandmother cries helplessly. For years, she didn't hear anything about her daughter. Suddenly, she finds out that she is already dead. Nothing can take away this pain. The mother is alive, but the daughter had been dead for more than a thousand years.

Kyuri tries to soothe her unconsolable grandmother for hours. She looks at the clock. It's time for her to leave. Her grandfather will be here soon.

"Where are you going?" Her grandmother asks her when she sees her leaving through the door.

"I have some things to do." Kyuri doesn't want to tell her grandmother about her state. "I will leave after I am done."

"You can control time now?" Her grandmother's eyes widen in surprise.

"Yes." Kyuri knows that it's not a lie. She can control it. It's just that she can't use her ability in her current state. "Goodbye, Grandmother."

Her grandmother frowns. Kyuri never says goodbye. Does it mean that she won't come to the past again? Then, it's her decision. Traveling in time has consequences. She might attract the attention of the timekeeper like Yoori did.

Kwon Kyuri walks away from her grandmother's house. She has to live little more than two decades to see the timekeeper again. After living for more than a thousand years, living and waiting for a few more years are unexpectedly hard.
