After Faking Her Death, the Top Actress Gets Amnesia - Chapter 74

Chapter 74

The filming date for “The Country is Broken, but the Mountains and Rivers Remain” was set for December 20. Jiang Wendu and Yi Lan went to Yacheng in advance, to the place where they first met. The filming of “The Hundred Flowers” was over, and other crews had taken their place. Director Xiang was with the crew next door. Jiang Wendu saw him and greeted him. “Director Xiang.”

“Oh, A’Yin is back,” Director Xiang responded with a smile. When he saw Yi Lan holding her hand next to her, he pretended to shrink back and covered his stomach. “You can’t kick me as soon as you see me today!”

Jiang Wendu smiled awkwardly. “Director Xiang, it was all a misunderstanding. Please don’t mind it.”

He looked at their intertwined hands. “You two are together? That’s great! You got a wife after taking a shot.”

Jiang Wendu giggled, looking a little silly.

Director Xiang: “I heard you two are going to play the female lead and the general in ‘The Country is Broken, but the Mountains and Rivers Remain’?”

Jiang Wendu tilted her head and looked at the person next to her, her voice filled with a hint of undetectable joy. “Yes, Director Xiang. Yi Lan is playing the general.”

There was a little bit of showing off. Director Xiang nodded. “It’s a perfect fit! I’ll ship a real couple then.”

Jiang Wendu’s mouth curved into a smile. “Thank you, Director Xiang!”

After a short chat, Jiang Wendu continued to walk forward, holding her lover’s hand. There were many crews filming here, including period dramas, fantasy dramas, and modern dramas. The two of them walked aimlessly. Jiang Wendu would glance at the person next to her from time to time. Whenever Yi Lan turned her head, she would always meet a pair of eyes filled with stars and sweetness.

“A’Ting,” her voice was light and cold. After a few seconds, she slowly advised her again, “Walk properly.”

Jiang Wendu’s beautiful and charming peach blossom eyes squinted into a line. She put her cheek on the other person’s arm, whining, “No, I just want to be dragged like this by my sister.”

A doting smile appeared on the cold and frosty person’s cheeks. Then she raised her hand and rubbed her head with her warm palm. “Be good.”

“No,” Jiang Wendu said in a sweet voice. “Kiss me, Sister. I’ll be good if you kiss me.”

As she said that, she lifted her cheek a little. Yi Lan was a person from the ancient world, after all. She wasn’t as uninhibited as Jiang Wendu in public. She glanced at the people coming and going around her, hesitating. Jiang Wendu blinked her eyes, her peach blossom eyes filled with anticipation. The mole at the corner of her eye was even more enchanting.

Yi Lan couldn’t resist at all. She quickly scanned her surroundings, lowered her head, and kissed her on the forehead. She pulled away as soon as she touched it. A hint of warmth quietly crept up on her cheeks. The warmth spread to her heart. It was warm, sweet, real, and satisfying.

It was her A’Ting, the A’Ting with memories from two lifetimes, the lively, passionate A’Ting who didn’t care about worldly opinions.

“Sister,” Jiang Wendu called her name softly. “Are you shy?”

Yi Lan’s voice was cold. “No.”

“Sister is shy.”

Yi Lan: “No.”

Jiang Wendu tilted her head, her hot gaze fixed on the person. “Sister is just shy.”

“Mm,” Yi Lan was forced to respond. She said in a calm but pleasant voice, “I’m shy.”

Jiang Wendu’s heart melted into a puddle of water. She leaned over, quickly kissed her on the corner of her mouth, and moved away. “This way, Sister won’t be shy anymore.”

Yi Lan’s face was red.

Their fingers intertwined again. Jiang Wendu shook her hand from side to side. “Let’s go, Sister. Let’s go eat the pig trotters and chicken feet stew on Old Street. It’s super delicious!”

The pig trotters and chicken feet stew was a snack shop she and Xiao Ru often went to. At this moment, in front of Yi Lan, Jiang Wendu didn’t care at all because everything in the past had already turned a new page in her heart. She wouldn’t change her original life trajectory because of a person or a matter. She also knew clearly that Yi Lan’s sincere feelings from two lifetimes were her best redemption.

The two of them went into the shop. The owner recognized Jiang Wendu at first sight.

“You’re here?” The owner greeted them and then noticed that the person standing next to her was not the usual person. “Didn’t your sister come today?”

“No. She has a new job now, and we don’t live together anymore,” Jiang Wendu said. She held Yi Lan’s hand and introduced her to the owner. “Auntie, this is my girlfriend.”

The owner’s eyes lit up when she heard that. She looked at Yi Lan again. “She’s a very heroic girl. She’s a perfect match for you.”

Even though it was a simple compliment, the corners of Jiang Wendu’s mouth still curved up. “Thank you, Auntie. We’d like a portion of pig trotters and chicken feet stew.”

The owner was also very thoughtful. She asked, “Do you want cilantro?”

Jiang Wendu: “Yes, Auntie. I want cilantro from now on.”

After saying that, she led Yi Lan to a familiar seat. “Sister, let’s go over there. It’s by the window, and the view is nice.”

“Okay.”

The sweet and soft pig trotters and chicken feet stew was served quickly. Jiang Wendu picked out the best tendons for Yi Lan. “Sister, try it. It tastes better in the shop than ordering takeout!”

Yi Lan picked up her chopsticks and bit into the soft tendons that Jiang Wendu had picked for her, a hint of coldness and reserve in her every move.

“Sister, this is delicious too!”

She looked up at the person across from her who always took care of her first in everything. She also remembered the scene in Haicheng when she couldn’t see, and Jiang Wendu would peel shrimp and pick out food for her little by little. Her heart felt warm and hot.

“A’Ting,” her cold voice came. After a few seconds, she said again, “You eat too.”

Jiang Wendu smiled and picked a chicken foot for herself, taking a big bite. “I’m eating, Sister.”

She squinted her eyes, eating with a look of enjoyment. She felt very satisfied in her heart. After a few bites, Jiang Wendu wanted to exchange feelings with her. “Sister, is it good?”

Yi Lan still responded calmly. The tendons in her mouth seemed to have become more fragrant.

After they were done eating, Jiang Wendu’s belly was bulging. She stretched and looked at the woman across from her, whining, “Ah, I’m so full, Sister.”

Yi Lan’s phoenix eyes curved a little. “Let’s go for a walk later.”

Jiang Wendu moved from the opposite seat and squeezed to the same side as Yi Lan. She pulled her hand and put it into her clothes. “Sister, I have a little baby in my belly. You can try.”

Yi Lan’s fingertips were brought to the bulging belly, and she felt so hot that she slightly curled them up. She subconsciously wanted to pull her hand back. Jiang Wendu held on tight. Yi Lan’s face and ears were hot. She warned in a very low voice, “A… A’Ting, stop it. There are so many people.”

She was not a very outgoing person to begin with. In addition, she had time-traveled from ancient times, so she was naturally not used to such a scene. After a short while, her ears and neck turned completely red.

Jiang Wendu gave a sly smile and looked at her. “Sister, are you full?”

Yi Lan gave a faint “mm-hmm,” not daring to look into her eyes. Jiang Wendu’s hand had already slipped in. “Sister is definitely not full. Let me check.”

The slightly cool fingertips rubbed against her skin, making her body tremble. Her whole face turned red, and even her voice became nervous. “A… A’Ting, stop…”

Jiang Wendu placed her palm on the other person’s lower abdomen and rubbed it a few times. She stopped when it was appropriate. In this life, she was gentle and quiet and wasn’t a person who liked to mess around, but in front of Yi Lan, she was always like a child. She always wanted to be a little more lively and seductive.

But no matter what, she would indulge and tolerate her, lifetime after lifetime.

After their intimacy, as they were about to check out, the owner brought over a post-meal dessert decorated with osmanthus flowers in the shape of a heart. “I specially made this for you. I wish you two a happy marriage for a hundred years.”

Yi Lan, who didn’t usually talk much, said, “Thank you.” Jiang Wendu’s happiness was obvious. “Thank you, Auntie. We’ll invite you to our wedding banquet then.”

Owner: “Then I’ll be waiting!”

Jiang Wendu really liked this gift. She took out her phone and took a bunch of pictures. After taking the pictures, she also pulled the owner to take a photo with them.

Yi Lan was still a little reserved in front of the camera, but she listened to Jiang Wendu. If the other person told her to make a V sign, she would make a V sign. If she told her to smile, she would smile. The photos came out with a hint of obedience in her cold and reserved demeanor. Jiang Wendu was very satisfied. After the owner left, she took a few more photos with just Yi Lan and sent them to their group chat with Bei Ye and Shen Jinglan.

Bei Ye immediately video-called her, wailing and complaining. Jiang Wendu turned the camera to the cake and even dug a big spoonful and put it in her mouth, even though she was already very full.

“You’re too much, Jiang Jiang!” Bei Ye accused her on the other end. Jiang Wendu ate even more heartily. She turned the camera around. Yi Lan on the other side was also licking the cake spoonful by spoonful. A little bit of cream was on her lips.

The two of them, whose bellies were about to burst, still managed to finish the small dessert that the owner had given them.

Bei Ye whimpered a few times and then got back to the main topic. “Is your opening ceremony tomorrow?”

Jiang Wendu: “Yes, tomorrow at ten in the morning.”

“Come on, the last freedom for us working people.”

The two of them chatted for a while, exchanging their recent situations, and then hung up the phone. After that, Jiang Wendu took Yi Lan around Yacheng again. The next day at ten in the morning was the opening ceremony of “The Country is Broken, but the Mountains and Rivers Remain.” After the ceremony, everyone introduced themselves. The new actor who was playing Yi Lan’s deputy looked a little similar to the deputy in the book. Yi Lan was stunned for a moment when she saw her for the first time.

The other person reached out and introduced herself. “Hello, Teacher Yi. My name is Ke Meng. I’m playing the role of Deputy Xu Yanzi. It’s a pleasure to work with you.”

Yi Lan was still immersed in the familiar atmosphere for a few seconds before she slightly bowed. “It’s a pleasure to meet you.”

Jiang Wendu also noticed her slowness. After they finished talking, she leaned over and whispered, “Sister, she looks so much like Deputy Xu.”

Yi Lan gave a low “mm-hmm.” Memories of the past flashed in her mind. It seemed that those fallen soldiers also had a new life. Xu Yanzi, Ke Meng, Ke Meng…

She secretly chanted this name in her heart and hoped that the other soldiers would also have a new life and a similar life trajectory as Ke Meng in this fictional script.

“Sister,” Jiang Wendu held her hand at this moment, her gaze persistent and firm. “In this life, they will all live. And I will work together with you.”

“A’Ting,” Yi Lan held her hand back. Their fingers intertwined. The thoughts and hopes in their hearts became even more solid.

It was a script, but it was also life. In this life, they would hold on to each other tightly.
