The Film Empress White Moonlight Wants To Be A Salted Fish - Chapter 15

“What does that Ruan Ning do? A singer?”

“I… I’m relatively free. I basically dabble in a little bit of everything.” Ruan Ning’s voice was a little nervous, and her fingers were anxiously intertwined.

“Wow, that’s impressive.” Hearing Lu Yiran’s praise, Ruan Ning looked up at her.

“Alright, it’s getting late, time to sleep.” Lu Shiran stood up and beckoned to Ruan Ning. The group successively returned to their respective rooms.

“You go first,” Wen Shiyan said, and Lu Yiran unceremoniously was the first to enter the bathroom.

Halfway through her shower, Lu Yiran realized she had forgotten to bring her bath towel. She tapped the bathroom door and called out, “Wen Shiyan, could you hand me the bath towel, please? Thank you.”

“Coming.” Wen Shiyan completely covered the camera with a piece of clothing before passing the bath towel to Lu Yiran through the gap in the door.

When Lu Yiran came out, she looked at herself in the mirror and sighed, “Sigh, I really have gotten fat.”

Hearing Lu Yiran say she was fat, Wen Shiyan put down the book in his hand and walked up to her, pinching her face.

“You’re not fat.” After saying that, Wen Shiyan took his pajamas and entered the bathroom.

Lu Yiran stared wide-eyed, touching her face. Did Wen Shiyan just pinch her face?

【Love Watching the Excitement: What happened! I’m a distinguished VIP member!】

【Gossipmonger: Something’s going on!】

Lu Yiran remained in a giddy state until she fell asleep. Looking at Wen Shiyan, he seemed completely unaffected, as if nothing had happened.

No wonder she used to be the villainous female supporting character; being this affected just by Wen Shiyan touching her was unbelievable, so embarrassing.

Lu Yiran decided to close her eyes and try to forget everything.

The next day, Lu Yiran woke up early, excited about the trip. She thought she would feel awkward seeing Wen Shiyan, but unexpectedly, nothing seemed to happen.

“Morning,” Wen Shiyan said, handing a glass of milk to Lu Yiran.

“Good morning, Sister Yiran,” Ruan Ning greeted Lu Yiran with a smile.

“Good morning.”

Lu Yiran sipped her milk, secretly glancing at Wen Shiyan. Sensing someone looking at him, Wen Shiyan looked up, and their eyes met.

Wen Shiyan walked up to Lu Yiran and quietly asked, “Is there something you need?”

Lu Yiran held her cup and shook her head.

“Did you bring anything for insect repellent?”

Hearing Wen Shiyan’s words, Lu Yiran was a little confused. She didn’t remember the place they were going having any bugs.

Seeing Lu Yiran’s bewildered look, Wen Shiyan knew she hadn’t brought any.

To be safe, Wen Shiyan asked Lu Yiran, “Do you know where we are going?”

“Aren’t we going on a fun trip? How could I not know?” Lu Yiran said proudly.

【It’s So Cold: She really doesn’t know?】

【Overbearing CEO: Very good, maximum program effect achieved.】

Wen Shiyan was silent for a moment, so Lu Yiran really didn’t know… However, Wen Shiyan didn’t explain where they were going and instead silently accepted Lu Yiran’s answer.

Watching the oblivious Lu Yiran in the live broadcast, Chen Ziyun swallowed. She had assumed Lu Yiran knew the destination and didn’t mention it again, but Lu Yiran actually didn’t know…

Seeing Wen Shiyan’s expression, Lu Yiran asked, “Isn’t that right?”

“You’ll know when we arrive this afternoon.” Wen Shiyan said before getting up and leaving.

Lu Yiran didn’t take Wen Shiyan’s cryptic words to heart.

After breakfast, Lu Yiran and Ruan Ning played some games to pass the time.

“You’re truly skilled, Ruan Ning,” Lu Yiran praised, seeing Ruan Ning’s proficiency in the game.

“I just play when I have free time,” Ruan Ning humbly told Lu Yiran.

“Alright everyone, put down your phones. I have an announcement,” Director Zhang came out and said to the group.

“We have an interactive segment with the audience in the live stream. Everyone needs to answer questions posed by the viewers selected by the production team. Don’t worry, they are all within reasonable limits,” Director Zhang said, signaling the staff to approach him.

The group sat side by side on the sofa, waiting for Director Zhang to speak.

Director Zhang looked at the first question and then looked at Lu Yiran. “Question: What is Lu Yiran’s real age?”

“Wow, they’re asking my age. Don’t I look like a pure and adorable college student?” Lu Yiran didn’t directly answer her age, but this amusing response made many people in the live stream laugh.

“Hey, I can’t believe Yiran is a college student,” Director Zhang said, then looked at the second question and turned to Wen Shiyan.

“Ahem, next. Does Shiyan have someone he likes?” Director Zhang asked, looking at Wen Shiyan with a mischievous smile.

Wen Shiyan answered coldly, “No, next question.”

“How is the relationship between Shuyao and Yiran?”

“Our relationship is super good!” Xie Shuyao said earnestly. After saying that, she looked at Lu Yiran.

“Yes, we have a very good relationship.”

Hearing Lu Yiran’s response, Xie Shuyao was very happy and looked at her.

Director Zhang asked Lu Shiran and the others a few more questions before letting them go.

“Oh, wait, we missed one,” Director Zhang lightly cleared his throat. “Is it true that Yiran used to like Wen Shiyan?”

Wen Shiyan’s lips moved as if he wanted to say something, but seeing the live broadcast equipment, he swallowed the words he was about to say.

“Of course, but it was just a fan’s affection for their idol,” Lu Yiran answered flawlessly.

After Lu Yiran’s answer, Director Zhang thanked them one by one.

After Director Zhang left, Lu Shiran checked the time and realized it was already noon. Since this was the last meal before the official start of the variety show, the group made it as lavish as possible.

“Then, I wish The Distant You a smooth broadcast.”

The group clinked their cups of beverages.

Before the live stream ended, everyone waved goodbye to the audience.

After turning off the live stream, Wen Shiyan found Director Zhang and looked at her with a frown. “How could you ask a question like that?”

“What question? Oh, that one,” Director Zhang patted Wen Shiyan’s shoulder. “Shiyan, that question is just a normal question for us. If the program guest answers it well, there won’t be any issues. And this time, it had a special nature; Yiran herself also happened to explain the reason for her past actions.”

Director Zhang’s tone shifted, “But why are you so worried about Lu Yiran? She only sees you as an idol. You wouldn’t happen to… like her, would you?”

“Don’t talk nonsense. I’m her senior, of course, I’d care about her.” Wen Shiyan said and then left. Director Zhang looked at Wen Shiyan’s receding figure, smiling meaningfully, perhaps plotting something in her mind.

Wen Shiyan found Lu Yiran. The two looked at each other but said nothing.

The live stream had ended, and the microphones and cameras were off, waiting for the afternoon’s continued filming.

“Regarding my past actions, I want to apologize to Teacher Wen…” Lu Yiran, who had rehearsed the apology in her mind, lowered her head and rushed out all the words she wanted to say in one breath. After speaking, she looked up to observe Wen Shiyan’s reaction.

Lu Yiran’s sudden apology caught Wen Shiyan off guard, causing him to freeze for a moment. After Lu Yiran finished speaking, Wen Shiyan didn’t know what to say.

“Mm.” Wen Shiyan didn’t know what to do. He wanted to leave, but just as he was about to walk away, Lu Yiran grabbed him.

“That’s it? Nothing else?” Lu Yiran looked at Wen Shiyan in disbelief.
