When the heavy soundproof door of the screening room was pushed open, the bright, even somewhat dazzling, midday sunlight poured down on the two of them without reservation.

Emerging from the dimly lit and oppressive movie theater, and suddenly stepping into this bustling and vibrant commercial street, the stark visual and psychological contrast caused Lu Yan to subconsciously squint.

He raised one hand, instinctively trying to shield his eyes from the direct sunlight, while his other hand was being tightly held by the little pink cat beside him.

Aemeath took a deep breath of the slightly warm air outside. "Phew... the air outside is so much better!"

She turned her head and watched Lu Yan furrow his brows slightly as he adjusted to the light. She then playfully poked his tense cheek with her finger.

"Are you still reeling from the horror movie you just watched?"

Lu Yan chuckled at her teasing remark.

He took the small hand that was messing with his face and pulled her into the crowd.

"I was just wondering if the courage of a certain former savior was used up fighting those monsters, which is why he found this kind of sound-based scare tactic exciting," Lu Yan said, still with a hint of stubbornness in his tone.

Aemeath listened to his utterly unconvincing words, her beautiful eyes curved into lovely crescents, a sly glint in them.

Instead of refuting him, she deliberately dragged out her words, and whispered in his ear with a mischievous smile:

"Oh~ it was just a normal sound effect? Then when that female ghost suddenly appeared on the screen in the screening room, that big black cat stood on its hind legs, held its breath, and even its palms were sweating. Did I just see things wrong?"

Lu Yan was stunned when he was exposed on the spot, and a hint of embarrassment flashed across his usually calm face.

He turned his head away somewhat awkwardly, coughed lightly, and tried to cover his embarrassment by scanning the shops on the street with his eyes.

When Aemeath saw his ears turning slightly red, yet he still stubbornly maintained his pride, her heart melted completely.

Instead of pressing her advantage, she changed her position and placed Lu Yan's arm completely inside her soft breasts.

She clasped her hands together and hugged his arm tighter, as if offering a silent, reassuring gesture of dependence.

"Alright, alright, our A-Yan is the best!" She tilted her head, smiling sweetly at him with her stunningly beautiful face. "From now on, I, your savior, will protect you completely, and I'll make sure nothing strange frightens you!"

Looking at her coquettish expression, which showed she had gotten the better deal but was still acting innocent, Lu Yan smiled with a mixture of helplessness and indulgence.

He turned his hand and tightly enveloped her small hand in his own palm.

The two strolled side by side along the pedestrian walkway of the shopping street.

On May 20th, the air seemed to be filled with pink heart-shaped bubbles.

Roses were selling exceptionally well at roadside flower shops, and long queues formed at dessert shops.

Aemeath, dressed in a light pink floral dress, walked briskly through the shadows of the trees. Occasionally, she would be drawn to the exquisite music boxes or plush toys in the shop windows by the roadside, and would pull Lu Yan to stop so she could share her newfound discoveries.

Lu Yan remained half a step behind her, his striking golden eyes now devoid of their usual coldness, filled only with tenderness as he gazed intently at the lively girl before him.

Occasionally, passersby would glance at them because of their exceptionally good looks, and Lu Yan would naturally reach out and pull her closer to him, using his domineering possessiveness to declare that he was hers.

Before we knew it, the sun had risen high in the sky.

"A-Yan, I'm hungry..." Aemeath rubbed her stomach and looked at him with pitiful eyes, "The popcorn at the movie theater is sweet, but it's not filling."

Lu Yan gently squeezed her hand and pointed to a high-end seafood restaurant with a distinctly Mediterranean style not far away. "I already guessed it. Let's go try this place."

"I saw a recommendation for them in a food magazine; apparently, their signature dishes are king crab and glacial sweet shrimp. You should like them."

The air conditioning in the restaurant was on full blast, and a melodious cello tune flowed gently through the air.

The waiter led them to a quiet booth by the window.

While waiting for her food, Aemeath rested her chin on her hands, staring intently at Lu Yan.

Sunlight streamed through the floor-to-ceiling windows, casting a soft golden glow on his neat short hair.

He was helping her take apart and wash the dishes.

A-Yan is always like this, pouring all his favoritism and tenderness into these most inconspicuous and trivial daily moments without reservation.

This wonderful, gentle man will belong to her alone from now on.

When the plate of tempting glacial shrimp was served, Lu Yan naturally put on transparent gloves.

Peel the shrimp for Aemeath, remove the vein, then dip the glistening shrimp meat in a special sauce and offer it to Aemeath's lips.

"Ah... mmm~" Aemeath opened her mouth without hesitation and took a bite, the sweet and fresh taste exploding on her taste buds instantly.

She squinted her eyes contentedly and mumbled indistinctly, "Delicious! Shrimp peeled by A-Yan are always the best!"

After enjoying being fed, Aemeath's eyes lit up, and she couldn't wait to feed him too.

She picked up the crab-eating tools on the table, and although her movements were still a bit clumsy, she carefully cut open a thick king crab leg.

With a "click" as the hard shell cracked open, the plump and firm crab leg meat, with its red and white stripes, was instantly revealed, emitting an enticing aroma.

"Come on, now it's A-Yan's turn to open his mouth~ Ah--!" She carefully picked up the most intact piece of crab meat with a small silver fork and presented it to Lu Yan's lips like a treasure, her eyes sparkling with anticipation.

Lu Yan looked at the little pink cat in front of him, whose face seemed to say "Praise me!", and a smile appeared on his face.

He leaned slightly forward, not reaching out to take it, but instead taking the piece of crab meat directly from her hand and biting it into his mouth.

"How was it? How was it?" Aemeath asked excitedly, resting her chin on her hands.

Lu Yan chewed slowly, his deep golden eyes fixed on her bright smiling face, and said gently, "Mmm, very sweet. The special enhancement from Lady Aemeath peeling the shell herself is indeed different."

This lunch was spent in a sticky, mutual feeding frenzy.

Lu Yan himself didn't eat much; he spent most of his time enjoying the pleasure of raising the little pink cat.

Just seeing her happy expression made him feel full.

After having a good meal and a short rest, the two took a taxi to the largest polar ocean world.

As soon as you step inside the aquarium, the surrounding light gradually dims, replaced by the omnipresent shimmering blue of the water.

The enormous curved glass dome enveloped them, making them feel as if they were truly underwater.

Schools of small silver fish swirled overhead like a storm, while giant manta rays with long tails glided past them.

Aemeath excitedly pressed herself against the huge acrylic glass wall, her nose almost touching the cold, transparent surface.

The shimmering blue light of the water reflected on her fair profile, even giving her long pink hair a mesmerizing purplish-blue hue.

Lu Yan behind her, his arms around her waist, protecting her in a safe area from the shoving of the surrounding tourists.

"Look A-Yan! That jellyfish looks like a glowing umbrella!" Aemeath pointed to a fluorescent jellyfish not far away and excitedly turned around to tug at his sleeve.

Lu Yan's thin lips brushed lightly against her earlobe. "Hmm, very beautiful. But not even a fraction of you."

Aemeath's cheeks flushed slightly. She playfully pushed his chest and pulled him deeper into the stadium.

After passing through the tropical rainforest and deep-sea tunnel, the temperature began to drop significantly, and they arrived at the polar animal pavilion.

The layout here simulates an extremely cold, icy environment.

Artificial ice blocks float in the huge pool, and several adorable spotted seals lazily bask in the artificial ultraviolet rays on the shore, occasionally letting out a few short calls before splashing into the water, leaving a string of white bubbles behind.

Aemeath stopped abruptly.

She leaned on the railing, staring intently at the plump creatures frolicking and rolling in the water. The initial excitement in her eyes gradually faded, replaced by a faint sense of nostalgia.

Lu Yan noticed the change in her emotions.

He pulled her into his arms from behind and asked softly, "What's wrong?"

"It's nothing." Aemeath shook her head, obediently leaning against his warm, broad chest, her gaze still fixed on the seals.

She paused for a moment, then her voice became as soft as a dream. "A-Yan, seeing them suddenly reminded me of the Snowy Fluff Leopard."

Lu Yan: "Snowy Fluff Leopard?"

A hint of regret lingered in Aemeath's voice. "Actually, I was just thinking, it would be great if we could see Snowy Fluff Leopard in this aquarium too."

Lu Yan listened quietly, tightening his arms around her waist.

He couldn't conjure a creature from the Royan Frostlands out of thin air, but he would never let her have any regrets.

Lu Yan tilted his head slightly and solemnly placed a kiss on Aemeath's cheek.

"I might not be able to transform into Snowy Fluff Leopard." Lu Yan's firm and steady voice echoed in the deep blue polar pavilion.

"However, there are also snowfields on Earth."

Aemeath paused slightly, then turned to meet his eyes, which were full of promise.

"Let's go on a trip whenever we have time." Lu Yan's slender fingers gently stroked her pink temples, his gaze so affectionate it was intoxicating.

"Go to the Arctic Circle. There, on the glaciers, live harp seals, whose young also have snow-white bodies."

He Aemeath around, cupped her face in his hands, and made a promise:

"Now that you've come to my side, I'll take you to see every imaginable sight on this planet."

"Didn't you want to see Snowy Fluff Leopard? Then let's go to the Arctic to look for them."

"If it's not in the Arctic, we'll go to the Antarctica. Whatever you want to see, no matter how many degrees of latitude and longitude we have to cross, I'll take you there."

Aemeath stared blankly at the man before her.

The blue light of the aquarium danced across his face, and in his golden eyes, only her image was reflected.

"A-Yan ~"

Aemeath's lips curved into the most radiant and happiest smile of the day.

She suddenly stretched out her arms and wrapped them around Lu Yan's neck, offering her soft lips to him.

'You big dummy, I just want to play with you no matter where we are~.'

In this simulated ice and snow world, witnessed by the romantic blue water, the two shared a passionate kiss.
