The Film Empress White Moonlight Wants To Be A Salted Fish - Chapter 13

The majority of the audience in the live stream was quite friendly towards Lu Yiran. It was obvious to anyone from the previous photo incident that Lu Yiran and Wen Shiyan had a genuinely good relationship.

The fans, operating on the principle that they would be kind to anyone Wen Shiyan was close to, often defended Lu Yiran when her haters appeared.

Wen Shiyan hadn’t eaten anything because she was about to get on a long car ride. After watching Lu Yiran finish eating, Wen Shiyan asked Lu Yiran to pack her luggage.

To demonstrate the packing process to the audience, Lu Yiran had deliberately taken out a few easily foldable items from her suitcase the previous night.

After Lu Yiran finished repacking, Wen Shiyan went back inside to grab her own luggage, and Lu Yiran followed her downstairs.

The crew on the ground floor was already prepared. The moment the two descended, the camera operators began filming. Since they were moving together, it saved the staff quite a bit of effort.

“Teacher Wen, you can take a nap first. It’s a long way to the destination,” a staff member reminded them.

“Thank you,” Wen Shiyan replied, then glanced at Lu Yiran, who was already asleep beside her.

Fortunately, she had taken her medication before getting in the car, and Wen Shiyan felt much better now.

Lu Yiran was a restless sleeper. Her head, which had initially been resting properly against the seat, slowly began to slide toward Wen Shiyan.

Wen Shiyan subtly straightened her posture when she noticed.

• [Going Crazy: I’m so jealous! Why don’t I get to lean on Wen Shiyan’s shoulder!]
• [Mentally Unstable: Probably because you’re not Lu Yiran [doge]]
• [Don’t Bother Me!: Ship! Ship them hard, everyone!]

Lu Yiran’s bobbing head finally fell onto Wen Shiyan’s shoulder, and Wen Shiyan closed her eyes to rest as well.

Upon reaching their destination, Lu Yiran was woken up by Wen Shiyan. Drowsily, Lu Yiran got out of the car and saw Xie Shuyao and Qin Mo beside her. Seeing them instantly cleared Lu Yiran’s head.

“Yiran!” Upon seeing Lu Yiran, Xie Shuyao ran over, affectionately wrapped her arm around Lu Yiran’s and called her name.

“Ah, Shuyao, you arrived so early,” Lu Yiran said, pushing her suitcase as she walked with Xie Shuyao toward the area the director had arranged.

Wen Shiyan silently followed behind the two of them.

• [Fuzzy Fuzzy: Doesn’t Lu Yiran and Xie Shuyao look like they have a pretty good relationship?]
• [See Where You Run: I agree with the comment above. Their interaction just now didn’t look fake.]

Chen Ziyun kept a close eye on the live stream, terrified that Lu Yiran might cause a massive blunder.

The director had chosen a three-story villa as the venue. When Lu Yiran walked into the living room, she saw three people already seated.

Upon seeing the face of one of the people, Lu Yiran was greatly surprised.

“Teacher Lu!”

The person looked at Lu Yiran when she heard her voice and returned a smile.

• [Lazy Fish Like Me: Who is this? A newcomer?]
• [Little Useless Thing: What newcomer! This is the Movie Queen, Lu Shiran!]
• [All-Nighter: Ahhhh, Lu Shiran is actually here!]

Lu Yiran was almost beside herself with excitement when she saw Lu Shiran smiling at her. Although she wasn’t a dedicated fan of Lu Shiran, the fact that Lu Shiran was appearing after so many years, and in this specific variety show, was truly thrilling.

The live stream completely erupted upon Lu Shiran’s appearance.

Lu Yiran watched the composed Wen Shiyan greet Lu Shiran as she walked in, and only then realized they must know each other. No wonder Wen Shiyan wouldn’t say anything when she asked who the other guests were!

After the two finished greeting each other, Lu Yiran noticed Ruan Ning quietly sitting nearby, watching Lu Shiran.

“Hello, my name is Lu Yiran,” Lu Yiran said. The other person was startled, blushed, lowered her head, and quietly whispered her own name. Noticing Ruan Ning was shy, Lu Yiran retreated to a distance that made Ruan Ning comfortable, and Ruan Ning gave Lu Yiran a grateful look.

“Yiran,” Qin Mo called Lu Yiran’s name affectionately.

“Miss Qin is actually participating in this variety show too,” Lu Yiran said, pretending not to know Qin Mo was a guest, smiling as she spoke.

“That’s right, I came for you, Yiran.”

Hearing Qin Mo’s words, Lu Yiran froze, and the smile on her face faded slightly.

Not only Lu Yiran, but the gossip-loving audience in the live stream were stunned. Just when everyone thought something extraordinary was about to happen, Qin Mo laughed.

“Haha, just kidding.”

“Miss Qin is quite the joker,” Lu Yiran said, pushing her luggage and making to leave.

Wen Shiyan noticed the slightly awkward tension between Lu Yiran and Qin Mo and came over to Lu Yiran’s side.

Wen Shiyan told Lu Shiran and the others: “We’ll put our luggage away first, and we can chat later.”

Lu Shiran looked at the two of them, smiled, and nodded.

Under the guidance of the staff, the two went to their assigned room.

Looking at the two beds in front of her, Lu Yiran asked the staff member in disbelief, “I’m in the same room as Teacher Wen?”

The staff member nodded.

Lu Yiran glanced at Wen Shiyan. Seeing that she showed no change in expression upon hearing they were sharing a room, Lu Yiran placed her luggage inside.

“Sorry for the trouble, Teacher Wen. If I bother you in any way, please don’t hesitate to say so!”

Lu Yiran bent at the waist and sincerely expressed her apology.

“Not at all. You didn’t bother me at all when we slept together before.”

“!!!” Lu Yiran looked up at Wen Shiyan in shock. Wen Shiyan, however, remained completely calm. Lu Yiran couldn’t have imagined those words coming from Wen Shiyan’s mouth.

• [Mental Breakdown: !!! Wen Shiyan, what are you saying!]
• [Applying Directly: You guys have slept together?]
• [Don’t Know What to Say: What the heck! Wen Shiyan, do you even know what you’re saying!]

Seeing the uproar in the live stream, Xiao Yu and Chen Ziyun didn’t know whether to be happy or worried.

“That was when my home was being renovated, and I was borrowing Teacher Wen’s place. Thank you for that, Teacher Wen,” Lu Yiran said, making a weak attempt at an explanation.

“Mhm. Let’s go downstairs.”

Lu Yiran nodded and followed Wen Shiyan downstairs, praying that Wen Shiyan wouldn’t say anything else strange.

The people in the live stream breathed a sigh of relief.

• [All Mine: You scared me. So that’s what happened.]
• [1 Billion: They’re friends after all.]

“Hahaha, apologies, sorry for the wait,” Lu Yiran said apologetically after checking the time downstairs and realizing it was almost lunch.

“No worries, it was just a moment,” Lu Shiran looked at Lu Yiran gently.

• [Accumulate Virtue: Ahhhh, Teacher Lu is so gentle.]

“Director Zhang, how are we going to handle lunch?” Xie Shuyao asked the director on the side.

“Of course, you’ll make it yourselves,” Director Zhang said before leaving to have his own lunch.

Wen Shiyan asked the group: “Who among you can cook?”

Ruan Ning and Qin Mo didn’t answer. Xie Shuyao said she only knew a little.

In the end, only Wen Shiyan, Lu Yiran, and Lu Shiran were left standing in the kitchen.

“Then the three of you can help wash the vegetables and prepare the plates, alright?” Lu Yiran said, placing the vegetables they would need in front of the three of them.

“Of course,” Xie Shuyao deftly rolled up her sleeves and started washing vegetables.

Ruan Ning skillfully began preparing the plates.
