Shi Tiexin wiped away a tear from his soul and composed himself. "Who?"

Shi Tiexin's first thought upon hearing that was: Could it be that the bond between me and my wife had extended into this world? That we still got together without any prior conditions or matchmakers? What a cause for celebration, what a cause for celebration.
