Hearing this, the shopkeeper said delightedly, “Sure! I’ll find the biggest ones for you two.”
Bianca heard Blair’s words, but her heart remained unmoved.
Yet thoughts of Winnie brought her pain.
So late, Blair still took her to meet someone unrelated by blood.
And now, he was out strolling with Diane.
After hearing their exchange, Bianca finally prepared to leave.
Behind them, the sounds of Diane and Blair’s laughter and playfulness kept drifting over.
Diane said, “Blair, you’re not allowed to peek at my wish.”
Blair seemed curious, replying, “But I want to see.”
Diane covered the slip with her hand, pretending to be angry as she looked at Blair: “Blair, if you keep this up, I’ll get mad.”
Blair seemed frightened, backing down: “Alright, alright, whatever you say.”
Seeing Blair relent, Diane finally smiled: “Good boy, don’t be upset now.”
Blair said, “When have I ever been that petty?”

Elvin lingered in the shop a while longer, only chasing after Bianca once she’d walked further away.
Noticing Elvin finally giving chase, Diane’s smile deepened.
She knew Elvin had stayed just to watch her a little longer.
At the thought, Diane couldn’t suppress the grin tugging at her lips.
As Elvin caught up, he heard Diane say: “Blair, I’ve finished my wish. What about you?
Aren’t you writing one?”
Blair answered: “Hmm, I don’t have any special wishes.”
It wasn’t that he lacked desires–Blair simply never believed wishes could come true.
Elvin heard no more of their conversation after that.
When he caught up with Bianca, he found her inexplicably calm.
Shouldn’t she be throwing a fit after seeing Blair with Diane?
Yet now, she seemed genuinely unbothered.
Elvin’s gaze fell on Bianca like a sharp knife, probing for any sign of fragility.
But she remained composed throughout, not a flicker of emotion showing.

Elvin wanted to ask if she was upset, yet feared mentioning Blair might hurt her more.
So he asked nothing, simply saying: “There’s a Night Bazaar ahead. Shall we check it out?”
Bianca nodded: “Okay.”
The Old Town’s night outshone its daytime bustle—even past midnight, crowds still streamed through.
Further ahead, an Acrobatics Show was in full swing.
Bianca stopped to watch, while Elvin discreetly texted his assistant: “Intercept one more. See image.”
The image showed Diane’s Wish Candle–he desperately wanted to know her wish.
Bianca became entranced by the Old Town’s acrobatics, completely absorbed.
Soon, Elvin received his assistant’s reply: two photos of Bianca and Diane’s wishes.
Elvin opened Diane’s first. It read: “I wish every man alive would adore me, die for me, and spend fortunes on me.”
Reading it, Elvin scoffed under his breath: “Thicker–skinned than me.”
Hearing his mutter, Bianca turned: “What’s wrong?”
Afraid she’d discover he’d intercepted her Wish Candle, Elvin stayed silent.
Bianca asked no further, turning back to the show.
