Chapter 115 - Dont ask me to prove that (1/2)
Kang Si An looks around the house full of things that she collected over more than a thousand years. From his every previous lifetime except for Li Jun's, she has taken something from him. She did take Li Jun's ashes, but they were lost in the sea.
He had felt wronged when she left him in each lifetime. He understood that the timekeeper was the reason. Still, a part of him felt wronged by her. If she stayed, would it be that bad? At most, the timekeeper would get him killed. He would have been reborn again. He could be with her again.
It must have been painful for her to watch him die. She kept a watch on him like a guardian angel. Whenever he was in trouble, she helped him from the shadows. She never made her presence known before the day of his death.
To Young Hwa, the house looks more like a museum. He didn't know that she was a collector.
Showing him around the house, Kyuri points at her photographs taken in the last century. ”I should be a grandma if I was born on the day when this photograph was taken?”
Young Hwa squints his eyes. That's Kyuri's face. He looks at other paintings and photographs. A part of him says that all of these is edited. He doesn't want to believe. He notices the signature on the portrait. His mother has bought a painting by this ancient prodigal artist at an auction.
”He was also my teacher once,” Kyuri tells him when she finds him observing the signature by the infamous artist from 16th century. ”He tried to teach me art. He would often throw the colors on my face in frustration when I didn't meet his mark of expectation. I called it quits after 10years and ran away with this portrait. I was afraid that it might show up in some museum later and create problems for me in this century.”
Young Hwa is speechless.
Kang Si An shakes his head. She should have taken more paintings and sell them now. Maybe she doesn't need to. If she sells half of the stuff in this house, she will be the richest woman in the world.
However, Kyuri is satisfied with her life the way it is. Being too rich attract attention. She would leave this for Little Hae and her descendants.
On the other hand, Young Hwa has no choice but to believe her. He has seen enough. ”So, you aren't immortal now?”
