A Wish

"I wish, Li Yan, that you could be my pet cat for a day, and I'd be your owner, meow."

Aura puffed out her chest proudly, a cryptic smile playing on her lips, clearly indicating that she had a variety of interesting ideas in mind.

"Turn down!"

Li Yan tapped Aura's head expressionlessly, wondering what Aura was thinking, actually wanting him to be her pet.

What? Does she still think she can do whatever she wants to me? How ridiculous.

"Damn it, you promised to grant our wishes, you liar!"

Aura winced in pain and shrank back. She had only spoken her true thoughts subconsciously, never expecting it to be bait, a deliberate attempt to lure her.

"I'm not asking you to make such pointless wishes."

Li Yan sighed. How could she possibly agree to her pet wanting to become its master?

"Young Master, I'd like to go to the aquarium with you one more time, but only by you, please."

With a smile in her eyes, Solitär leaned forward slightly, gradually closing the distance between herself and Li Yan.

"Can!"

Seeing Solitär's cautious demeanor, Li Yan gently stroked her head. The idea of going to the aquarium together was far too easy.

"Line, and you?"

Li Yan looked at Line, whose expression was indifferent, and a rare hint of struggle appeared on her calm face.

"I want..."

Line hesitated for a long time; clearly, she hadn't decided on her wish yet.

"It's alright, take your time to think about it. My promise always stands."

Li Yan gently, expressing his high regard for Line, noting her obedience, cleverness, and competence.

"Um."

Line nodded gently, the worry lessening on her calm face, and stood obediently behind Aura.

Aura was still puffing out her cheeks, racking her brains for her grand dream. Li Yan glanced at her and bluntly gave her a deadline for her wish, "If you don't say it today, it'll expire tomorrow."

"You despicable Li Yan, you're applying double standards, exploiting and bullying me."

Aura, like a cat that had been provoked, suddenly bristled with fur and nearly jumped onto Li Yan in excitement.

"Then I'll have ten more wishes."

"Turn down!"

Five.

"Impossible! Do you think I'm some kind of unlimited wish-granting machine?"

"I'll have to think about it carefully."

Aura couldn't come up with a wish in the end. The cat, who had no worries about food and drink, racked its brains to think. Line stood quietly behind Aura, while Solitär looked at Li Yan's back with tender eyes.

The swimming party ended smoothly. After sending everyone home, Li Yan looked at Solitär, who was still sitting quietly by the pool waiting, and felt a warmth in her heart.

Who says Demons don't care about people? They just haven't used the right methods.

"Where are my Grandmaster and Junior Sisters?"

Li Yan stepped forward to inquire.

Hearing a familiar voice behind her, Solitär turned around with delight. "It seems they've gone back to rest, young master."

"Oh, okay? Then let's go, Little Fool."

Li Yan reached out and gently took Solitär's hand. Solitär's face flushed slightly as she followed behind Li Yan. To outsiders, it looked like a younger brother pulling his older sister, but in Solitär's heart, Li Yan's figure was gradually growing taller.

At the aquarium, Li Yan pulled Solitär along as they observed the various strange sea creatures: cute clownfish, ferocious great white sharks, octopuses clinging to the glass—a dazzling array of creatures.

"Young master, this one is so cute."

"Young master, this thing actually takes a paid dump during work hours."

"Young master, this thing actually ate its colleague."

Solitär gazed joyfully at the various aquatic fish in the aquarium, like a child who had never grown up. Li Yan followed behind her, and looking at Solitär's cheerful childlike demeanor, he felt a deep sense of nostalgia. Solitär's childlike appearance reminded him of the days a hundred years ago when he took Solitär on a trip alone.

"Young Master~"

"Look, there's a snail moving house with its girlfriend."

Recalling the past and comparing it to the still childlike Solitär, Li Yan felt an overwhelming tenderness in her heart.

At the aquarium, Li Yan took Solitär to see various marine creatures, observing their shapes, colors, and habits up close. Solitär cherished this opportunity, as it was not just a date, but also a great chance to study aquatic life.

After observing some of the creatures, Li Yan took Solitär to the aquarium's aquatic exhibit, where dolphins, sea lions, and other animals would perform, showcasing amazing skills such as jumping and playing, bringing joy and surprise to the audience.

"They're so cute!"

Solitär.

"You can feed them and pet them."

As an SVIP customer, Li Yan showed off his financial power with Solitär, easily gaining access to the front row where he could feed the sea lions and dolphins who were performing.

The aquatic exhibition also features touch pools where visitors can get up close and personal with other marine life, such as starfish and sea cucumbers, enhancing their interactive experience with marine creatures.

"Young master, young master, this starfish is so interesting!"

"Young master, young master, doesn't this look like Squirtle?"

On the other side of the aquatic exhibition, there's a new twist from the aquarium: using virtual reality to provide visitors with an immersive marine adventure experience, allowing them to gain a deeper understanding of the ocean world.

Regarding the widespread adoption of this technology in aquariums, Li Yan couldn't help but marvel at the sheer variety of ideas employed by those magic researchers.

Having personally experienced this virtual reality magic, Solitär's understanding of magic seemed to have entered a new realm, and she had already decided on her next path of magical research.

In a corner room of the aquarium's aquatic exhibit, there are science lectures and exhibitions that introduce visitors to the characteristics of marine life and ecological environmental protection through magical pictures, specimens, and scientific information.

Li Yan dismissed this knowledge, but Solitär treasured it, as this interesting information could be helpful in her research on magic.

After learning about various aquatic animals, the next item on the itinerary is the Solitär Curious Aquarium. The behind-the-scenes tour of the aquarium begins, offering visitors a glimpse into its operations, animal husbandry, and conservation efforts.

The aquarium visit was now over. Li Yan took Solitär's hand and led her into the surrounding restaurants, where visitors could enjoy seafood, buy ocean-themed souvenirs, and after seeing the aquarium creatures, it was time to eat them and see which one tasted best.
