Chapter 567
Half an hour later, the Porsche stopped at the foot of the tallest building in Yu City — Pearl Tower .

The tower was already closed at this hour, but Sheng Yize made a phone call and a staff showed up soon after to open the gate for them .
The two of them then went up to the top of the tower on a sightseeing lift . The observation deck was built from reinforced glass . With the vast starry night above and the myriad of city lights below, it was a double stimulation of one’s senses .
An Xiaxia was slightly acrophobic and wouldn’t go on the deck no matter what Sheng Yize said . He looked at her with disdain, then sat down with her on the stairs a little distance away from the observation deck .
“Why did you bring me here?” An Xiaxia asked .
Sheng Yize checked his watch and said casually, “There’s a meteor shower tonight . ”
“Really?” An Xiaxia’s face lit up .

“It’s possible, but not a guarantee that we’ll be able to see it from this angle,” Sheng Yize explained . Seeing how excited the girl was, he smiled . “If there really was one, what wish will you make?”
An Xiaxia gave him an “are you an idiot” look . “Sheng Yize, how can you be so superstitious… That’s it . You’ve just ruined your image!”
Sheng Yize was a little embarrassed . “I thought all girls believe in such things, no?”
“Well… not me,” An Xiaxia said with frustration . “I saw one when I was little, but none of my wishes came true . ”
“What wishes did you make?”
“I wished for someone to invent a machine that could do homework on its own… and that I could have as much toffee as I wanted… and that I could become a fairy!” An Xiaxia listed her wishes earnestly and the corner of Sheng Yize’s mouth twitched .

Did she actually think any of those wishes could ever come true?!
Sheng Yize smacked his forehead . “Don’t you have any realistic wishes? Tell me a few . ”
What he meant was: Tell me your wishes and I’ll do my best to grant them .
Whatever clothes, bags, toys, models she wanted… or wherever she wanted to go, or any food she wanted to eat, he would spare no effort to fulfill her dreams .
An Xiaxia blinked, completely missing the hint the rich young master had just given her . After much consideration, she clenched her fists and said, “I want to grow to 160cm!”
The expectant Sheng Yize: … Fine .

What sort of wish was that?! Did she have any ambition at all?!
“I thought you were 160cm at your last physical exam?” Sheng Yize looked bemused . An Xiaxia jabbed her fingertips together, looking diffident . “I was standing on my toes…”
Sheng Yize snorted . “Hokay . ”
An Xiaxia was hit hard when she compared her legs with his long ones . She then crossed her legs and looked up at the sky .
Stars twinkled in the deep blue night sky, giving it a bottomless look .
A chubby star suddenly made its way across the sky as if it was hurrying somewhere . It took awhile for the star to disappear completely .
An Xiaxia was dazed for a moment before she nudged Sheng Yize’s elbow . “What that a shooting star?!”
“Did you make a wish?” Sheng Yize asked .
An Xiaxia was crestfallen . “I forgot…”
Before she could say another word, the meteor shower started . The sky lit up and it was a magnificent scene .
“Make a wish now! Not the growing taller one! Something else!” Sheng Yize commanded .
An Xiaxia’s eyebrows furrowed as she tried to think of an idea . She then put her palms together and mumbled, “In that case, make Sheng Yize shorter! Amen!”
Sheng Yize was speechless .
“Wow, so we really can see the shooting stars from here!” A voice came from behind them . Interrupted, they turned around and saw Li Fanxing walking gracefully toward them in high heels .
