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

Chapter 86: Were you always watching me?

The timekeeper observes the traveler using Lu Weixue's senses. The girl looks better than the time when she was rescued.

Honestly, he has been scared for the last 300 years. Li Jun's soul didn't leave her immediately after he died. After using his last presence to save her when the disaster struck, he had to leave to reincarnate.

The timekeeper would have never imagined that the traveler is so dumb. What happened to her is rather pitiable, but it was all her fault. If she didn't commit those sins and interfered with the natural flow of time, she wouldn't end up in this state. She wanted to live more. Due to the twist of fate, she is a near-immortal being.

She left Li Jun because of him. She didn't come back to Li Jun because of the deal. She kept her words. But, why she is acting like Li Jun is truly dead? The body dies, but the soul is immortal. In the last 300 years, Li Jun has reincarnated as a bird, a fish, a tree, and several other creatures. In his every lifetime, he would unconsciously go toward the direction where she is buried.

He couldn't reach her once. Maybe, the gods didn't want him to reach her in that state. They let her rest and mourn Li Jun's death for 300 years. The woman isn't still over that man's death.

Strange! He can't understand this human being. She knows that Li Jun would be reborn again. Then, why does she suffer like this? Is she a masochist?

Before Li Jun died in the second timeline, he wanted to be with the traveler most. Lu Weixue inherited that unfulfilled desire. Though it would have been better for the traveler remained buried in the sand, the timekeeper was suffering because of Li Jun's heavy grief. It was he who tweaked the map to find the traveler first. Lu Weixue, who carries the soul of Li Jun, also unconsciously wanted this.

Lu Weixue only carries the baggage of Li Jun. They might have the same soul, but they aren't same people. However, Lu Weixue might start having feelings for this traveler again. The timekeeper will always try to stop that from happening. The leftover baggage is easier to handle than current feelings. Besides, if the traveler stays, she might end up seeing Lu Weixue's death again. Who knows where she will bury herself next? She might bury herself with Lu Weixue's body. The timekeeper has already labeled her as an insane person.

Her hopeless eyes give him a chill. The timekeeper waits and watches them quietly. He checks the leftover minutes. There is enough left.

Lu Weixue takes her to his house first. He criticizes her for being weak. His temper is bad ever since they got off the ship. First, he sends her to take a bath and wears clean clothes. He guards the door unless she tries to run again.

Lu Yuan wonders why his brother is acting strange. He has never been this harsh toward a woman. Sensing Lu Yuan's judgmental gaze, Lu Weixue sends him to buy some food ingredients in the market and send a message to his old friend.

It's not Lu Yuan's fault that he can't understand why his brother is like this. Lu Weixue can't understand either. But, the timekeeper knows. When the traveler left Li Jun, it affected him tremendously. Unconsciously, Li Jun's soul is aware of the timekeeper's wishes and the real reason why she left him. The unconscious desire is making Lu Weixue guard her 24 hours a day.

When she comes out, Lu Weixue looks at her with satisfaction. Her body's proportions are good. Her face is pretty. He has an urge to touch her inappropriately. He nearly slaps himself for thinking like that toward a strange woman. He blames it on his stress.

The timekeeper sighs in his soul. Of course, Lu Weixue will also inherit Li Jun's desires.

Lu Yuan comes back with the ingredients. Lu Weixue is annoyed and ashamed for thinking about the woman. Not knowing why he wants to hug her a lot, he tells her to cook for him since she's his slave. The woman doesn't say a word and starts working. Her silence is irritating him more.

"What kind of food did you make?" Lu Weixue can't recognize a single one. But, the food smells nice. "Where are you from?"

"Just eat," She snaps at him. She has no intention of telling him about her past.

Lu Yuan watches their interactions and shakes his head. He's too hungry to wait. He digs into the food right away. It's different, but the taste is delicious. He gobbles down all the food on his plate and asks for more.

"Here." She puts more in his plate. Big man eats a lot.

Lu Weixue notices that the food won't be enough for the woman. She's already skinny. He reduces his portion and puts some on her plate. "I don't have much appetite."

She sighs, mentally exhausted. She eats slowly for formality. Lu Weixue smiles unconsciously, watching her cool expression. How will she look if she smiles?

At night, the brothers sleep in a different room. The traveler is locked inside a room. The timekeeper gets up and unlocks her. The traveler looks at him with her dark eyes, puzzled and a little afraid. He unties her hands first.

"Leave," He utters the same word that he told her once.

She understands it now. "So, this is Li Jun's reincarnation."

"I will do the same thing that I promised you once." The timekeeper is too tired to repeat the same threat. "Lu Weixue will die if you stay."

"You will kill all of his reincarnations for me, huh?" The traveler laughs at him mockingly. "It's fine. I don't have the intention to stay. You have captured my weakness. I don't want to be the reason behind his death. I know that I will outlive him. I can't bear to see him die again."

That's what she told him before she left. However...

After long years are gone, she returns again.

Lu Weixue's is on his death bed. In this life, he never married. He never liked any woman. He doesn't know why. He wonders where that strange woman went. The cruel woman didn't even leave a message. Did she commit suicide? Did she live miserably? He looked for a long time, even hoping to find her corpse. Did she find happiness?

Ironically, he is 95 years old.

"You won't die until I appear."

He opens his eyes and finds the woman sitting beside him. She looks the same. She has the same voice. He can't believe what he is seeing. "Mo Wei?"

"Yes, it's me. I am sorry that I am late." She strokes his head. "You have lived a good life. You helped a lot of people. You took care of your younger brother's children after he died. You are dying without any regrets. I am envious, Lu Weixue."

He smiles at her weakly. "Were you always watching me?"

She doesn't answer his question. "Go now. We both know that this is not an end. We will meet again."

Lu Weixue trusts those words. His frail life leaves his body. This time, Kyuri doesn't cry. She kisses his forehead. This is not goodbye.

They meet again and she leaves him again. She always has to come back and see him on his death bed. Whenever she doesn't come to see him for one last time in each lifetime, his soul won't leave his body whether he is ill or old. She's forced to come and release his soul from his suffering moments.
