“I’m fine with anything. I was just asking. Let’s just follow your plan,” Lin Xiaowan said.

In the end, they drove to Chahar’s Kongjing Salt Lake. It was a very remote place, but the closer they got, the more lights they could see. The orange-red lights were not very bright, and they illuminated the horses that were wandering the grassland. ｂ𝚎𝚍𝚗𝚘𝚟𝚎ｌ.ｎｅｔ

Before getting out of the car, Lin Xiaowan was wrapped tightly by Huo Zheng.

There were tents set up in the open space, and some professional equipment had been set up. A few people were scattered here and there, and the low sounds of conversations could be heard in the air. A few people were even broadcasting live.

Upon seeing this, Lin Xiaowan felt that her initial guess was wrong. She looked at the time; it was already past 10 PM. Normally, this was when she would start getting ready for bed. Earlier, when they were in the car, Huo Zheng had already told her that they would not be following their normal routine, meaning they were staying up late today.

It was unknown what the horses wore, but when they walked, there was a faint but clear tinkling sound.

The stars in the sky were exceptionally bright without the pollution of lights. This place was far from the city after all.

Lin Xiaowan asked curiously, “What are we doing here?”

Huo Zheng gave a few instructions to the two people who followed him here. When he walked over to Lin Xiaowan’s side, he happened to see a faint light flashing past in the sky before disappearing. He asked with a smile, “Didn’t you say you want to watch a meteor shower? I can’t bring you to the moon for now, but I can still satisfy your wish to see a meteor shower.”

Lin Xiaowan was shocked. She looked at him and asked, “We’re really going to watch a meteor shower?”

Lin Xiaowan always thought that she could only watch meteor showers with some sophisticated and expensive equipment. She was unaware that all she had to do was look up.

At this time, Huo Zheng’s two employees had already set up two reclining chairs in a strategic place. There was also a small wooden table next to the chairs. Some preserved fruits and snacks had already been placed on the table as well. The snacks were kept in transparent containers. It was obvious that they were made by the chef and could not be bought outside.

The sound of someone doing a live broadcast drifted over. The other party was playing music and interacting with the viewers from time to time.

Lin Xiaowan leaned back on the chair, satisfied. Huo Zheng had brought her a blanket and a pillow so it was extremely comfortable.

When she finally saw the meteor shower, she was slightly stunned.

Meteor showers in real life were completely different from those shown on television.

In the dark sky dotted with stars, a thin line appeared briefly before disappearing quickly.

Lin Xiaowan was so stunned that she did not even have time to make a wish. Nonetheless, she still felt very moved.

“So a meteor shower looks like this…”

Seeing the dazed expression on Lin Xiaowan’s face, Huo Zheng asked with a smile, “What do you think it looks like?”

“Not like this,” Lin Xiaowan murmured. Then, she leaned on him before she said with a smile, “I really like lying here and watching the meteor shower…”

Huo Zheng looked at the faintly lit clock on the wooden table. There were still 47 minutes left before her birthday. He asked softly, “Are you sleepy?”

Lin Xiaowan shook her head. “I’m not sleepy at all. Are you sleepy? Do you want to take a nap?”

“I’m not sleepy.”

The two of them exchanged a few words before an extremely beautiful meteor with a green tail streaked across the sky and disappeared into the pitch-black night.

A small commotion could be heard when it fell.

Just like before, Lin Xiaowan did not have time to make a wish. She looked at the man who was holding her and asked, “Did you make a wish?”

Huo Zheng paused for a moment before he said, “I didn’t.”

Lin Xiaowan was not surprised by this. Perhaps it was due to the environment, her mind could not help but drift a little. In fact, Huo Zheng’s answer did not matter to her. Her question was just a precursor to what she wanted to say.

“I wanted to make a wish earlier,” Lin Xiaowan said, “However, I couldn’t think of any wish.”

“Hmm?”

“I thought about it, but 1 realized that somehow all my wishes in the past have been fulfilled,” Lin Xiaowan said solemnly.

Huo Zheng moved closer, curious, before he asked softly, “What wishes did you have?”

“Hmmm… For example, a long time ago, before I met you, I wished that 1 had enough…”

“Had enough?”

“That’s right. I had nothing at that time. That was why I wished I had enough to eat when I’m hungry, had money to see the doctor when I was sick, had a place to sleep when I was sleepy…”

“Then you can always find a new wish… For example, you can wish for health so you won’t fall sick…”

Lin Xiaowan nodded, agreeing with him. A few meteors fell while she said, “Then when the next one appears, I’ll wish for us to be healthy.”

Personally, Huo Zheng did not believe in such things. He firmly believed that his fate was controlled by himself. It was better to depend on himself than on some strange beliefs. However, after listening to Lin Xiaowan, he did not say anything and nodded obediently.

Before midnight arrived, Lin Xiaowan finally managed to make a wish, wishing for both her and Huo Zheng to be healthy and safe.

Huo Zheng glanced at the ticking clock before he withdrew his hands from Lin Xiaowan and rose to his feet. He explained, “I’ll go get something.”

Lin Xiaowan did not ask about it and only said with a nod, “Hmm.”

Huo Zheng went to the car and returned very quickly. His expression was calm, but his palms were slightly sweaty. He crouched down in front of Lin Xiaowan as he calmly said, “Your shoelaces are undone…”

Lin Xiaowan watched as he placed her foot on his thigh and lowered his head as he seriously tied the shoelace of her calf-length boot for her..
