Aventurine, his little meow meow. Wei Wuxian definitely held such high affection for Aventurine over the course of their time together. He kind of expected, from reading up on him and their first conversation, to have to negotiate more with Aventurine for how he felt, what he was doing, what he wanted out of the game and he was fully prepared for it! It's why he struck that deal with him in their first conversation, wanting to give Aventurine some sort of leverage to play the game well and to use Wei Wuxian as his resource.
Of course, then Aventurine didn't need any of that. Their conversations were so funny because Wei Wuxian was always expecting charming, scheming gambler side of Aventurine to come out but it never did. Instead he was sincere and thoughtful and trying his best to play through the game the way he knew how. Which Wei Wuxian admired a lot. He felt sympathy for him in regards to him being aware the IPC was watching and wondered if he'd get out from under their thumb through playing this game — which he did! Which was fantastic.
Aventurine and Nico were so sweet to him. Nico was one of the contestants he thought of as having his shit together and knowing what Aventurine needed, it seemed like a perfect fit for them both. Aventurine kind of reminds him of himself, if he's honest, just that sort of... secretly lost and yearning for someone or something to ground you part. He was like that before he found Lan Wangji and he kind of sees that from Aventurine and Nico.
He really is looking forward to checking in on Aventurine a while from now and to see what he's doing and how he's faring. He thinks he'll have a happier life in Nico's world but no less adventurous either. He fully expects Aventurine and Nico to get involved in the politics of Nico's world and to cause chaos. Which he fully supports as well because fuck yeah, that's what you SHOULD be doing with your life and your freedom!
Aventurine was also one of the ones he wanted to "help" the most with his ghost spell on Week Two. He wasn't sure if it would be received well but he had the thought that Aventurine might like to see his sister again if only in the form he knew how to see her. Of course, he wasn't sure if it would be his sister that came but he wanted to try anyway. (I set the rules of the spell as being that he was summoning the ghost/memories of their most important person, so Wei Wuxian had no control over who showed up.) They never talked about it but he hoped that night gave something good for Aventurine, even if it was something painful as well.
Anyway, you better invite him to the wedding, Aventurine.
