119: Are you trying to scare the meteors back?

After eating for a while, everyone started chatting, and the atmosphere became relaxed.

The sound engineer told interesting stories, while Liu Lu discussed the upcoming schedule with Yue Qingzhu.

Soon it was 8:50.

He Yuanyuan suddenly gasped, pointing excitedly out the window, “Meteor shower! Meteor shower!”

Chen Fang turned his head at the sound, and in the night sky outside the glass, a faint silvery white streak of light was visible, like a fine line gently drawn across the sky.

The June Lyrids meteor shower?

He saw news that the observable time was from 8 PM tonight to 2 AM tomorrow, but of course, it wasn't visible most of the time.

9 PM was the peak time, and from a high-rise terrace, one could see 8 to 12 meteors per hour.

He Yuanyuan turned and patted Yue Qingzhu beside her, “Make a wish, Sister Qingzhu, it’s almost the peak time, the probability of seeing meteors is high, shall we go make a wish?”

“Okay,” Yue Qingzhu stood up.

He Yuanyuan excitedly pulled her hand and ran to the terrace first, taking the middle position at the railing.

Most of the other team members were also young people and followed suit.

However, no one dared to squeeze into the middle.

Chen Fang walked out, feeling the night breeze, carrying the slight coolness of early summer.

The garden was filled with various green plants and flowers, and the air was filled with a faint floral fragrance.

Zhou Weijie stood slightly to the right of the middle of the railing and waved at him.

Chen Fang walked over; Zhou Weijie was on his right, and Yue Qingzhu was standing about a meter away on his left.

The group stood side by side by the garden railing, looking up at the night sky.

Some were excitedly watching, while others held up their phones, trying to capture the momentary beauty.

A meteor streaked across, leaving a long, slender silver tail, drawing a graceful arc in the night sky.

“Wow! Another one!” He Yuanyuan shouted excitedly, putting her hands together and closing her eyes to make a wish.

The others also closed their eyes.

Yue Qingzhu put her hands together, bowing her head slightly, her long, straight black hair gently swaying in the night breeze.

“I hope everyone likes me, and that they like me without any ulterior motives.

If not many people, at least a few, okay?

Even if it’s an illusion, let it never be exposed.”

At the same time, Chen Fang devoutly murmured, “Third, I hope someone hates me but doesn’t show it, secretly and twistedly crawling around, contributing negative emotional value to me, and then regretting it after a while, silently blaming themselves, contributing again.

Fourth…”

Although a meteor streaks by in just one second, with so many of them, whoever receives it, it’s theirs.

And this is already the era of high technology, please receive brainwaves!

Zhou Weijie: “I hope a rich woman sees through my bravado, allowing me to drop my strong disguise and enter her 600-square-meter heart, prepared just for me, so I no longer feel lost and hesitant.”

He Yuanyuan: “Please let me pick up a phone downstairs in a bit…”

After Yue Qingzhu made her wish, she looked up at the starry sky, staring silently for a while.

She turned her head and found He Yuanyuan was still making a wish, then turned to the other side and saw Chen Fang also had his eyes closed.

Yue Qingzhu tilted her head.

Eh, are everyone’s wishes that long?

Did that meteor just now, which lasted for more than ten seconds, still hear it?

Another half minute passed, and He Yuanyuan finally opened her eyes.

Yue Qingzhu asked curiously, “Why did you make a wish for so long? What did you wish for?”

He Yuanyuan’s eyes sparkled with excitement, “I hope the meteor blesses me to pick up a phone downstairs in a bit.”

Yue Qingzhu tilted her head in confusion.

Picking up a phone doesn't make it yours.

He Yuanyuan’s eyes gleamed as she continued, “The kind me went through immense hardships to return it to its owner.

The owner was overjoyed, as it contained his important photos, so he planned to give me a million yuan as a thank-you fee, but I didn’t accept it, because I felt returning lost property to its owner is what a kind, beautiful girl should do.

But I also understood that he didn't want to owe a favor, so I only accepted a twenty-yuan lottery ticket.

Then, I scratched a seven-million-yuan grand prize from the lottery ticket!”

“Huh? = ͞ ͟ ͟ ͞ ( ꒪ ᗜ ꒪ ‧ ̣ ̥ ̇ )” Yue Qingzhu’s mouth slightly opened.

He Yuanyuan cupped her face, smiled shyly, and continued, “But the kind me felt that this grand prize shouldn't entirely belong to me; it was the owner’s lottery ticket, so it should be split equally with the owner.”

Yue Qingzhu raised an eyebrow, a meaningful smile playing on her lips, and nudged her with her elbow, “And then he fell in love with you?”

“No, no, successful self-made rich people are generally older.”

Yue Qingzhu nodded, relieved that it wasn't that melodramatic.

He Yuanyuan cupped her face, her eyes sparkling as she looked up, “Actually… the owner saw the kind-hearted me and decided to introduce his son, the world’s richest man, to me.

But I didn’t want to accept, because I don’t yearn for such a materialistic love.”

Yue Qingzhu blinked.

He Yuanyuan grabbed her arm and excitedly continued, “However, what I never expected was that the world’s richest man, seeing a woman who dared to reject him for the first time, developed a strong interest in me.

He fell madly in love with me and pursued me fiercely.

And under his storm-like offensive, I gradually fell for him, and from then on, we lived a simple and sweet life.”

Yue Qingzhu was dumbfounded, feeling a flock of crows fly over her head.

Even the meteor would tell you, you fly, I'll make a wish.

Yue Qingzhu processed it for a while, then looked back and saw Chen Fang was still making a wish?!

Huh? Are you people going to scare the meteors back?

She had just stared with her mouth open for a while.

Chen Fang suddenly opened his eyes, seemed to glance at her out of the corner of his eye, and tilted his head slightly, “Hm?” at her in confusion.

Yue Qingzhu instantly felt like she was caught speaking ill of someone, although she was saying it in her mind, and hastily averted her gaze.

She touched the strands of hair by her ear, trying to hide her guilt.

“Um… I was just wondering why you all make wishes for so long.

Is it possible the meteor can’t remember?”

Chen Fang nodded: “So I wished three times.”

Huh? Yue Qingzhu felt her worldview was being challenged.

She seemed to be on a different layer from the people around her.

He Yuanyuan suddenly realized, “You’re so clever!”

After saying that, she immediately cupped her hands to her chest and quickly repeated her wish.

Chen Fang casually rested his arms on the railing, leaning slightly forward, “Assistant He’s wish is so convoluted, aren’t you afraid the meteors will only remember: downstairs, lost phone.

7 million… not belonging, materialistic love… not yearning, richest boyfriend… no, lived a simple… life.”

[He Yuanyuan Negative Emotional Value +666!]

Chen Fang added, “So I suggest simplifying it a bit and saying it two more times.”

He Yuanyuan took a deep breath and silently repeated her wish: “Win the lottery! Get rich! True love! If not, get rich without side effects!”
