The Film Empress White Moonlight Wants To Be A Salted Fish - Chapter 32

After taking her medicine at the hospital, Lu Yiran heard Wen Shiyan say to her, “I’ll take you home now.” Wen Shiyan then looked at Xie Shuyao: “Thank you, Shuyao.”

Lu Yiran told Xie Shuyao her address. Upon hearing it, Wen Shiyan asked in confusion, “Aren’t you going home?” Lu Yiran shook her head: “I’m afraid my mom and the others will worry, and I also have things left there.”

Hearing their conversation, Xie Shuyao was a little confused, but she drove Lu Yiran to the address she was given.

In the car, Lu Yiran told Lu Qiu about staying in the apartment she rented for the past few days.

After getting out of the car, Wen Shiyan said to both of them, “Let’s go, I’ll go up with you. Shuyao, come up for a glass of water too.” Wen Shiyan helped Lu Yiran into the elevator, and Xie Shuyao followed closely behind them.

Lu Yiran took out the key and opened the door. Upon entering, Lu Yiran was shocked by the scene before her. She looked at Wen Shiyan in disbelief: “This…”

There was dust all over the floor. Seeing that the living room window was open, Wen Shiyan said helplessly, “Well, no one can live here now. Let’s go to my place.” Xie Shuyao thought they were going to Wen Shiyan’s house and was about to press the elevator button. “Shuyao, here.” Wen Shiyan finished speaking and opened the door to her own home.

Inside the house, Xie Shuyao looked at the two of them curiously: “Sister Yiran and Teacher Wen are actually neighbors.”

“Yes, I forgot to tell you.” Lu Yiran held her stomach and sat down on the sofa. “Wen Shiyan, get me a glass of water, please.” Hearing this, Wen Shiyan went to the kitchen and poured a glass of warm water for Lu Yiran.

Handing the water to Lu Yiran, Wen Shiyan said to Xie Shuyao, “It’s getting late. Why don’t you stay here tonight?”

“Sounds great! I want to sleep with Sister Yiran.” Xie Shuyao said, sitting down next to Lu Yiran.

“There are plenty of rooms, and feel free to use the clean clothes in them; they are all new.” Wen Shiyan finished speaking and placed Lu Yiran’s medicine on the table.

Lu Yiran drank her water and said, “Last time I came here, there was nothing. When did you furnish the house?”

“Yesterday.”

Looking at the signs of occupancy in the room, Lu Yiran put down her cup. “I’ll take this room.” Lu Yiran chose the room farthest from Wen Shiyan’s.

Looking at the time, Lu Yiran yawned: “Oh, it’s late. I’m going to wash up and go to bed. Thank you for your trouble today.” Lu Yiran hugged Xie Shuyao and was about to go to her room. Passing by Wen Shiyan, Lu Yiran also hugged her. “It was really a hassle today.”

Seeing Lu Yiran go back to her room, Xie Shuyao and Wen Shiyan exchanged glances before each went into their own rooms.

When Lu Yiran woke up and came out, she saw Wen Shiyan in the kitchen. “Cooking so early,” Lu Yiran stretched and walked over to Wen Shiyan.

“The doctor said you need to eat bland food,” Wen Shiyan said, scooping a bowl of white rice porridge for Lu Yiran.

Seeing Lu Yiran pick up the white sugar on the table and about to put it in the porridge, Wen Shiyan grabbed her hand. “Just a little sugar is enough. There’s egg custard on the dining table.” Lu Yiran obediently let Wen Shiyan help her add the sugar.

After finishing breakfast, Xie Shuyao said to Wen Shiyan and Lu Yiran, “I have to leave now. Although I told my mom I was staying at a friend’s house, she’s still worried about me spending the night alone outside.” Xie Shuyao said, handing the car keys back to Lu Yiran. Wen Shiyan put on her coat and said to Xie Shuyao, “Wait a moment. I’ll drive you.”

After the two left, Lu Yiran was the only one left at home. Covering herself with a blanket on the sofa, Lu Yiran watched the two episodes of the variety show that had already been released.

As the variety show began, there were comments like [Lu Yiran is here, I’m not watching] floating across the screen. Lu Yiran had guessed this would happen, so she turned off the comments and continued watching. After a while, she found herself curious about the comments, so after a moment of hesitation, she turned them back on.

[Why is she always trying to get close to Wen Shiyan? Is she trying to hog the camera?] [Aren’t they in the same group, so they have to act together?] [Lu Shiran actually appeared! I only came to watch the show for her and Wen Shiyan] [There weren’t even many crayfish in the countryside I went to. The production team definitely put them there] [They really went to work in the fields! This is the first time I’ve seen the goddess like this] [It’s pretty realistic. I’ve been poked by thorns while picking pumpkins before]

Just as the first episode was about to end, Lu Yiran heard the door open and saw Wen Shiyan returning with a bag of things.

Wen Shiyan put the fruit back in the kitchen and cut some, placing them in a fruit plate.

Bringing the fruit plate to Lu Yiran and seeing the TV still playing the show, Wen Shiyan asked Lu Yiran, “What are you watching?” Wen Shiyan said, placing the fruit plate next to Lu Yiran.

“I’m watching the variety show. Two episodes have been released already,” Lu Yiran said, moving over to make room for Wen Shiyan to sit on the sofa.

After the first show ended, the second episode began. It started with Lu Yiran’s impressive series of actions when she was about to fall.

[How did you do that! So amazing!] [A dark horse!] [You are such a Lu Yiran, are you even an ordinary person?]

Seeing this scene, Wen Shiyan also felt that Lu Yiran was not ordinary at all. “Where did you learn this…”

“Huh? This? I was about to fall, so it was just instinct.”

[These pumpkins look so delicious, I really want to buy some] [Oh no, that person in the back is about to appear] [I’m a prophet, Lu Yiran, you should run away soon]

After this comment appeared, the scene immediately switched to the shot after they finished selling the pumpkins.

Lu Yiran ate a grape. Fortunately, the show’s team had them reshoot this scene when they returned to the market later.

[Time flies so fast, they’re about to harvest rice. I wonder if mine has been harvested yet] [Although I don’t feel much when I use a sickle myself, it’s still a little alarming to watch others use it] [The villagers here are quite kind, and the scenery in the village is nice] [Lu Yiran seems to really dislike Qin Mo] [She was indeed cut. Xie Shuyao is probably the most unlucky person in this variety show] [There are too many crayfish! Tell me! Did the production team put them there?] [Me too! I was also scared by a swamp eel before]

When the scene reached Lu Yiran hooking her arm around Wen Shiyan’s neck, the production team put the words “Sisterly Affection” on the screen.

[What “sisterly affection”? It’s full of “sapphic tension”! ] [No wonder it’s a dating show; you can ship any pair] [Don’t ship this pair. It’s Lu Yiran…]

Seeing the comments, Lu Yiran immediately turned them off and looked at Wen Shiyan. When she saw that Wen Shiyan’s expression hadn’t changed, Lu Yiran turned the comments back on after the segment passed.

[What’s this about sisters? You are wives! I’m shipping it first!] [Although I’m also an anti-fan of Lu Yiran, I’m really shipping them] [What did Lu Yiran do before? Can someone please explain?] [I don’t remember clearly, but she has a lot of anti-fans, so I’m just following along and hating her]

Wen Shiyan got up and turned off the TV.

Seeing Wen Shiyan turn off the TV, Lu Yiran stood up and asked in confusion, “Hey, Wen Shiyan, why did you turn off my TV?”

“You still want to keep watching?” Wen Shiyan said, her eyes chilling slightly. Seeing Wen Shiyan like this, Lu Yiran muttered, “If I don’t watch, I don’t watch. Why are you yelling at me?”

Her phone vibrated in her pocket. Wen Shiyan took out her phone and said to Lu Yiran, “Wait a moment, I need to take a call.” She said, going into the kitchen.

Lu Yiran looked at Wen Shiyan, who seemed to be in a good mood after whatever was said on the phone.

Seeing Wen Shiyan walk towards her, Lu Yiran quickly sat up straight. “For you,” Wen Shiyan handed the phone to Lu Yiran.

Lu Yiran took the call and asked Wen Shiyan, half-skeptical, “For me?” Seeing Wen Shiyan nod, Lu Yiran asked the person on the other end who they were.

“It’s me, Yiran.”

Hearing the person’s voice, Lu Yiran froze. “Senior Sister…”

“Mom said she wants to see you. Are you free now?”

“Yes, I am!” Hearing that her teacher wanted to see her, Lu Yiran said excitedly.

Hearing Lu Yiran say she was free, her Senior Sister nodded at her mother, who was watching from the side. Senior Sister smiled helplessly: “Do you still remember the address?” Lu Yiran said with red eyes, “Of course…”

After hanging up the phone, Lu Yiran was suddenly hugged by Wen Shiyan. Wen Shiyan’s hands were suspended in mid-air, not knowing where to put them. Lu Yiran cried and said to Wen Shiyan, “Teacher actually is willing to see me. But I broke her heart when I gave up learning the piano…”

Wen Shiyan hugged Lu Yiran and gently patted her back, “Okay, stop crying. I’ll take you to see her now.”

“But I haven’t prepared anything for the teacher yet,” Lu Yiran said, sobbing.

“It’s okay. I have a lot of collectibles at my house. I’ll ask Sister Xiao Yu to pick some out and send them over later.”

Lu Yiran said a little sheepishly, “Is that appropriate?” She finished speaking and took the tissue Wen Shiyan handed her to wipe her tears.

In a little while, Xiao Yu arrived with gifts for Wen Shiyan and Lu Yiran. “Three gifts. See what you think.”

Wen Shiyan didn’t look. “Sister Xiao Yu’s choices are always appropriate.” With that, Wen Shiyan said to Lu Yiran, “Let’s go.”

While Xiao Yu was there, Lu Yiran had washed her face and didn’t look like anything had happened. She nodded and followed Wen Shiyan and Xiao Yu downstairs. Before leaving, Wen Shiyan took Lu Yiran’s medicine with her.

When they arrived at the teacher’s door, Lu Yiran was hesitant to go in. Wen Shiyan took Lu Yiran’s hand and stepped forward to press the doorbell.

“Coming.” It was the Senior Sister who opened the door. Seeing Lu Yiran arrive, the person following closely behind her quickly tried to suppress her excitement.

“Yiran is here! Mom has been waiting for you,” Senior Sister said with a smile, inviting them both in.

“Teacher…” Lu Yiran called out to the person in front of her, not daring to go closer.

The elderly woman in front of her snorted at the sight of Lu Yiran. “What, you don’t recognize your teacher after only a few years? Come over and sit down quickly.”

Lu Yiran quickly went and sat next to the elderly woman. Wen Shiyan handed the gifts to the Senior Sister.

The Senior Sister took the gifts and said, “Why bring gifts when you come? We’re all family. Don’t bring them next time.”

Wen Shiyan sat down next to Lu Yiran.

“If it weren’t for Xiao Yan, I still wouldn’t be able to see you,” the teacher said sadly. She thought that even if Lu Yiran didn’t continue with the piano, she would still come to see her. Who knew that after she left that time, the teacher only received letters from Lu Yiran, and Lu Yiran never came back.

Looking at the white hair that had grown on her teacher’s head, Lu Yiran lowered her head, and tears fell: “I’m sorry…”

Hearing Lu Yiran’s words, the elderly woman sighed and hugged her, gently stroking her back: “I don’t want to hear ‘I’m sorry.’ I just want to know what you think now. Tell me, Yiran, do you plan to come back and study with me again?”

Hearing the teacher’s words, Lu Yiran looked up and choked out, “Does Teacher not blame me anymore?”

The teacher looked at Lu Yiran and said, “Blame, of course, I blame you. Such a good talent just said she wouldn’t study anymore.” She patted Lu Yiran’s shoulder and said earnestly, “But as long as you’re willing now, it’s still not too late.”

Lu Yiran then hugged the teacher and cried.

Wen Shiyan quietly watched the scene. It seemed like the conversation was going well. She got up and went to find a friend to give them some private space.

After a while, Wen Shiyan saw Lu Yiran come to find her, wiping her face with a tissue. “Wen Shiyan, I’ve finished talking with Teacher,” Lu Yiran said with red eyes.

Lu Yiran said to the teacher behind her, “Teacher, let me treat you to lunch.”

The teacher looked very happy and said, “No, let your Senior Sister treat us this time.”
