Wei Caihong allowed people to touch his clothes, as he carried Nikola to the cart, but not Nikola's.
They made it to the cart and Wei Caihong got in with his prize still in his hands. He wanted for Nikola to sit on his lap, but the Atlantean moved out of his arms and to the other bench.
They stared at each other for some time. So, as if they were seeing each other for the first time.
After a while, Nikola broke the silence.
"So…"
"Yes?" Wei Caihong asked. He wondered what Nikola could ask of him or tell him. He hoped to all of his ancestors it had nothing to do with Penemue.
"We're married and…"
Nikola gulped at his words and remained silent. Wei Caihong took his hands and began to kiss them.
"I should get you a ring. To be unprepared for my wedding, what must you think of me?" Wei Caihong knew that this was not probably what Nikola wanted to speak about.
He still needed to fill the silence with something.
