Chapter 52 - Are you having any dream of me? (2/2)

I am surprised to hear that. Kang Si An and Li Jun have the same birthday. ”Uh...”

He looks at me with excitement. ”Did you bring me a gift, Lady Witch?”

I rummage through my bag. I don't have anything that I can give to a child. The dagger and the vials are out of choice. Li Jun is looking at me with expectations. I look into the wallet. I find some paper cash and a coin. I throw the coin at him. He dodges this time.

”What's this?” He checks the coin. ”You are stingy. This coin is not even gold.”

”It's the coin of protection.” I grin at him. ”If you keep it with you, you will be protected from the evil spirit.”

He frowns at me. ”It looks like an ordinary metal coin.”

I should have brought something good from my correct time. It's already been three hours. If I go back now, the timekeeper will be there because I have changed an important step toward the original timeline. I didn't go to the future and saw my future self die.

”You can throw it away if you don't like it.” I shrug my shoulder. ”By the way, are you friend with Wu Yixing?”

”The fifth prince?” He pockets the coin. ”He is sly and manipulative, but he and I are friends.”

Wu Yixing hasn't met my aunt yet. ”What about the Yu family? Are you a friend of their eldest son?”

”The enemy spy's son?” He wrinkles his nose. ”Four years ago, he was sent to exile after his mother was executed. He can't return to the capital for the next fourteen years.”

”Lady Witch, where are you from?” Li Jun's voice snaps me out of my thoughts.

”I am from the depth of hell.” I hang the bag on my back. ”It's time for me to go back.”

”Are we going to meet again?” He asks me hopefully.

”We won't.” Probably. ”I am going somewhere far away. Li Jun, you must live a long happy life, okay?”

He lowers his head. ”You can come back to meet me again anytime.”

Cute.

”I will come to meet you on your 90th birthday. You have to live up to 90 if you want to meet me.”

He glares at me. ”Lady Witch, what if I die before I turn 90?”

I wave my hand. ”Then, you won't meet me.”

I hear his faint voice following me as I leave Li Household. ”I will wait for you then.”
