His Mischievous Time-Traveler: How To Capture A Celebrity Husband? Chapter 49: I will find you
"Here." He gives a passport and a ticket at the airport.
"Kang Si An, you are so capable." I giggle when I see the na and information. My na and information are the sa, but it's still fake. In this tiline, I am dead. The present is the best ti to take action. I still have five days until I go back to my correct ti. That tikeeper is right. When I go back, I can't be sure that all of my actions will follow the sa path. In this tiline, the tikeeper can't kill . He won't waste any of the 100 minutes here. When I woke up, I asked Kang Si An to help go to the C country. He didn't ask many questions. He must have figured that I need to go there.
"You are able to get this so fast. How much did you spend on this?"
"Pay back by not dying in the past." He tilts his head down. "By the way, why can't I co with you?"
"Your face will attract attention."
"I will wear a disguise." He looks at with puppy eyes. "Take with you."
"Kang Si An, do you want to change the future or not?" I ask him sternly.
"You know the answer." He grumbles.
"You told to do anything to change it." I sigh and put down the fake docunts. "I don't know whether I will succeed or not. If I succeed, you might never et and the past might change. You might never fall in love with again. Is it worth it if I have to lose you?"
Kang Si An eyes solemnly. "Don't think about . You and I are inevitable to happen."
I grin at him. "You are so sure."
He smiles at . "Even if we don't et like the way we did, you are already in love with . Can you leave be?"
He knows so well. "Kang Si An, you know that I love you."
"I know." He cups my face and kisses . "Don't abandon after changing the past, alright? I won't forgive you if you do that."
I don't want to leave this person. A small part of wants to go back and do everything the way it happened. But, I can't. I won't let Li Jun die like that. I won't leave Kang Si An alone to live alone like this.
"I will find you," I promise him. "I will make you fall in love with again."

I arrive at the modern c country at next morning. In the next four days, I have to find that cave again. After another six hours of travel, I arrive at the goddamn mountains. It's a famous tourist spot now. It makes my life both easy and hard.
It took 8 months to travel through the forest and climb that mountain. Li Jun only had half of the map and we lost ways many tis before we found the place. Now, it takes less than 10 hours to get here from the airport.
It's already dark when I reach the station. I stay at the local inn for the night. I rember the map from Kang Si An's mory and compare it with the modern map. I pinpoint the location of the cave to a certain area. Are four days enough to find it? It doesn't hurt to try.
At dawn, I leave the inn. I notice that there are a lot of foreigners. I stand in the queue to get on the elevator to the mountain top. Three days are not enough to climb this damned mountain on feet for soone like .
I reach the mountain peak. I separate from the crowd and follow the path. Though things have certainly changed in the years, so parts manage to stay the sa. Maybe, they look the sa. After a few hours, my confidence begins to fade.
"Is it here, Sam?" I hide behind the tree when I hear the voice. "We have been traveling for days."
Who is here to explore the godforsaken part of this mountain like ? I see two n in khaki clothes walking toward . They haven't seen .
"It should be here, Javed." Sam looks at the map and frowns. "All the keepers dreamt about the flowers. Why are we chosen to harvest it?"
"Our luck is pretty bad."
They don't look happy about it. It seems like harvesting that crystal won't be easy. My luck isn't good either. The vines. The man-eater plant. The poisonous moss. What else is there inside? Anyway, that plant is dying today.
"Did you hear that another anomaly is born?" Sam lights a cigarette. "The higher-ups are going crazy. I don't know the details. That's why they asked us to harvest this ti crystal as soon as possible."
"Is it a ti-traveler again?" Javed curses loudly. "I guess the ti-traveler hasn't returned to the past yet. Otherwise, we wouldn't be here."
"I heard that two crossroads were taken care of. The last one... " Sam sighs. "It's a pain in the arse to redo everything each ti the tiline is destroyed by a ti-traveler. Why can't we just kill them when they are born?"
"They also have a role to play in ti." Javed takes a smoke. "If we manage to harvest the ti crystal flower before the tiline is destroyed, we will have one more ti crystal flower to harvest in the new tiline."
They haven't realized that a ti-traveler is following them. I wonder how Kang Si An is different from these keepers. These two n look like ordinary people. The sky turns orange. We finally reach the place. The cave is blocked by a huge boulder. Sam sprinkles the white powder on the boulder. In the next 30 seconds, the boulder lts to nothing. They talk about how they are going to invest better when the tiline is destroyed. I shake my head. The keepers also take advantage of the ti turn.
I have been lucky so far. I walk inside the cave after five minutes. The moss on the wall is thicker. The familiar ominous feeling is strong. The keepers aren't talking anymore. They are spraying sothing in the air as they walk into the depth of the cave. The moss is disintegrating on its own. The vines are shying away from the walls. Whatever they are spraying in the air, the maneater plant doesn't like it.
They try to push open the tal door. The golden rays are coming out. The ti crystal flower is shining regally.
"Wasn't the way too easy?" Sam asks nervously. "I feel like we are being watched."
"It likes eating humans." Javed looks at the plant with disgust. "The preys are walking to the predator on their own feet. The way is easy."
"If we die, we won't even have a funeral." Sam steps away from the tal door.
"Why are you afraid?" Javed laughs. "The ti-traveler will change the tiline. We will be alive again."
"That doesn't an that I like being eaten by a plant." Sam looks at the silver dagger in his hand. "It's a high ranked ti crystal plant. I heard that it's more than three millennia old. The last harvest killed more than a dozen people."
"A thousand years ago, they didn't have the technology that we have now." Javed takes a deep breath. "Rember that we can't harm it. We only need the ti crystal flower."
