Chapter 86 - Were you always watching me? (2/2)

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.
