Chapter 124: Aquas

Sister Mei Mei took the driver's seat, driving for everyone even though Ming volunteered to drive the car. She said Ming was still too young for this, though he would be twenty-four this year.

Shen took the middle seat together with Auntie Jun, Eunha, and Lin Lin. Yeah, they happened to add one more little girl because Eunha invited her. However, there would be a minor problem because they booked for eight people instead of nine people. Sister Mei Mei said she would talk it out with the restaurant. Of course, if the restaurant did not allow them to enter, Dale said he would go somewhere else to eat. The big brother Dale would sacrifice himself for Lin Lin.

The little girl sat on his lap instead of her seat, and Lin Lin stood next to him, looking outside the window admiringly. For someone who spent her time in a rehabilitation facility most of the time, just looking at the glittering building and street was enough to amaze her.

Shen was happy and also sad to see her like this. It was sad that she was happy over something simple like this. Her eyes went round, shining as she looked at the street and the crowd at the side road. 'I can't wait to see her reaction when we arrive at Aquas.' Aquas was the name of the restaurant they booked. It was a restaurant and also an aquarium for thousands of fish.

It took them one and half an hour because of the traffic jam, but they arrived in time. "Fish!" Eunha excitedly pointed at the board at the entrance to Aquas. "Yah, there will be a lot of fish inside. Do you want to see the fish?" Shen smiled at Eunha.

Her eyes got even bigger, making her look even more adorable. The shining gaze in her eyes did not fade away that easily. After they parked the car, the little girl was too excited to see the fish. She opened the door and was about to jump, but Shen caught her. "Hoit! You can't go alone or run around like that, Eunha. You have promised me."

"Alright! But quick, quick carry me inside." The little girl nodded. While Eunha acted spoiled, Lin Lin was more composed and acted sensibly. Even though everyone could see that she was swaying her feet, she could not wait to see the fish.

Shen got off with Eunha in his chest. Lin Lin was about to hop off, but he picked her up. He carried both of them with him. Rather than a brother, he was like a father to them. "Let me carry Eunha, Shen. Even though they are small, they are still quite heavy." Auntie Jun was concerned when she saw Shen carrying the two girls with him.

"It's okay, Auntie. I am fine." Shen smiled in response, though there was a little who asked to be put down. "I am not a kid anymore; put me down."

"But what if I insist on carrying you?" Shen smiled at the Little Witch. The little girl looked away and said in a low voice. "If you insist on carrying me, then I don't have a choice but to let you carry me."

"Hehehehe. Tsundere~ Tsundere~" Eunha let out a small laugh and teased her friend. "You dare to repeat it, Eunha? This lady will fight you!" Lin Lin was embarrassed being called out like that. The two girls were messing around, but when they entered the building, Shen whispered to them. "Don't be noisy, or else we will be kicked out, and we can't see the fish."

That was very effective in making the two kids tone down their voices. He was not wrong either because they might get kicked out if the two kids disturbed the restaurant. Sister Mei Mei talked with the attendant, discussing the booking issue as the others waited in the lobby.

"Where the fish?" Lin Lin asked in a small voice. She looked around and could not find the fish. Eunha also had been looking for the fish since they entered the waiting room. 'As expected of a high-class restaurant. They even prepared an exclusive waiting room, and this is too luxurious to be waiting.

The expensive couch, the snacks for free as he even saw an ice cream stand. They did not need to pay for the ice cream as long as they booked a table in the restaurant. Of course, one person could only get one ice cream.

Soon, Sister Mei Mei returned with a big smile while gesturing an okay signal with her hand. "They allow us to bring the ninth person, but we have to pay the penalty, 100 Yuan."

"That's good." Shen was relieved that they could still get the table. However, Uncle Wen's train of thought was different from Shen's. "What? 100 Yuan for an additional seat? Are you crazy? That's a lot, this is too much. Fine, I am not going so you don't have to pay another 100 Yuan. This is ridiculous."

"It's okay, Uncle. I have the money. Let's go together." Shen persuaded Uncle Wen, but it was not effective as the latter was about to walk away. However, Auntie Jun pulled her husband's hand and scolded him. "Did you know that you make the kids uncomfortable? Look at them!" She was whispering to Uncle Wen's ears.

Sure enough, Eunha and Lin Lin were panicked slightly with the sudden outburst. Especially for Lin Lin, as she was aware that she was the cause of the trouble. If she did not follow them, then the problem would not occur. "It's okay, Grandpa. I will just stay in the car." Lin Lin's voice was small, but everyone could hear her.

Only then did Uncle Wen realize that the two kids were more sensitive than the normal kids. "We will pay 100 Yuan, but I will be the one who pays, understood?" The old man gave in and took out a 100 Yuan bill from his wallet, and he gave it to his daughter.

"Yeay!" Shen offered a toss to the two little girls to lift up the atmosphere. Lin Lin was serious with her words, and she did not know what to do with the toss. When she saw Brother Shen winking at her, she tossed against Brother Shen's palm. Eunha also followed afterward, tossing her tiny hand onto Shen's big palm. "Yeah~"

Sister Mei Mei actually already paid the penalty booking, but she received the money anyway and winked at Shen secretly. Even though Uncle Wen took out the bill, the ten times amount would be transferred to his bank account later. It did not matter if Uncle Wen paid or not.

The attendant came for them, guiding them to their table. Their table was on the third floor, and Mei Mei booked the table next to the window so they could see the scenery outside from the third floor. Of course, this spot was more expensive than any other regular table, but since it was a rare moment where they gathered. Shen did not mind paying more for a good view.

This was Eunha and Lin Lin's first time getting to a place like this. They admired the view with their eyes shining. They were standing next to the window for like three minutes before they remembered about the fish. "Fish! Fish! Fish! Fish!" The two girls shouted in rhythm.

"I will order the food, Shen. You can bring them to the Aquarium." Sister Mei Mei grinned ear to ear as if she was saying I would order the most expensive food in this restaurant. Shen did not mind; that was why she wanted to treat everyone with the best, so she handed the duty to order the food to her. "Text us when the food arrives."

Shen brought the two little girls to the first floor. Yes, the aquarium was on the first floor, next to the waiting room. However, they had to enter the aquarium through the elevator from the second floor or above. There was an exclusive elevator for the customer to enter the aquarium. They had to use this elevator to enter the aquarium, so in other words, only people who ate in this restaurant could visit the aquarium. Of course, there was a door connecting the waiting room and the aquarium, but only staff could use the door. "What a weird restaurant," Shen muttered in a low voice as the elevator reached the first floor.

Shen stepped out of the aquarium, and his eyes widened in surprise when he saw what the aquarium looked like. He thought it was just a random aquarium with rows of fish tanks with fish in it. But this aquarium was just like the other big aquariums he had visited before.

Shen brought the two girls to the giant fish tank. The wall of the aquarium was the fish tank itself. The two girls put their hands on the glass, and their eyes followed the fish's movement. Lin Lin seemed to remember something as she turned around toward him. "I want to see a Shark! I want to see a Shark!"

"Me too! Me too!" Eunha also nodded her head furiously. "Shark! Shark! Shark! Shark!"

'But why the shark? I thought kids like dolphins more or whales more than sharks?' Shen could not help questioning the two little girls' taste. 'Of course, there's no way a small-scale aquarium like this has a shark or even dolphin. Ah, in the first place, Aquarium is not allowed to have dolphins.'

"I don't think they have a shark-" Shen's words cut midway as a female interrupted him. "We have sharks here, Sir." He raised his head and saw a female attendant come to him. "Of course, it's not the great white shark, but we have three hammerhead sharks in our tank. Please follow me if you want to see the shark."

"Shark! Shark! Shark! Shark!" The two girls were excited to see sharks. Shen had no choice but to follow the female attendant. The female attendant guided them to the other side aquarium, and sure enough, three hammerhead sharks were swimming together on the tank floor.

"Woah!" The two girls opened their mouths in awe as they saw the shark. The two little girls seemed to be attached to the sharks as they asked him to follow them. Midway, Lin Lin pointed at the top. "Plane Fish! There's a plane fish!"

"Plane fish?" This was Shen's first time to hear that type of fish. He looked up and realized the meaning of the plane fish. "Whoa! Plane fish, Brother Shen. There's a plane fish!"

The plane fish was the stingray, and there was a medium size of stingray above the shark. Shen was amazed that the aquarium managed to gather them into their collection despite their small scale. 'The rich always have their way.'

"Put me down! Put me down! I want to see the other fish!" Lin Lin and Eunha asked him to put them down. Shen nodded and put them down. "However, you have to promise me that you can't run around!"

The two little girls nodded their heads and walked on their own. The center of the aquarium also had a tube-shaped fish tank, and they walked in that direction. They followed his words and did not run around. They walked side by side, holding their hands as their eyes looked around the fish tank.

Shen was relieved that the two girls listened to him. He also enjoyed the view of the aquarium until he heard a yell from the front.

"Darn, Kids! Can't you see while walking! You spill juice in my expensive suit! Do you know how much the suit costs?" Shen looked toward the voice. Lin Lin fell on her butt as orange juice spilled over her head. At first, she did not cry from falling or spilling, but she immediately cried when the man started to yell. Her body was trembling as tears flowed down from her eyes, but she did not make that loud cry. She was suppressing her cry.
