The Film Empress White Moonlight Wants To Be A Salted Fish - Chapter 39

“What the hell, I actually had a dream like that.” Lu Yiran felt a headache coming on as she got out of bed. She actually dreamt of a flood destroying the village…

After washing up, Lu Yiran looked at herself in the mirror and secretly cheered herself up. It was just a dream, there was no need for her to dwell on it.

Seeing Lu Yiran emerge from the room, Director Zhang, who was outside the door, offered her a bowl of porridge, saying, “Yiran, do you want to eat?” Lu Yiran shook her head: “No, I’m going to the hospital to see Wen Shiyan first.”

“Oh, right.” Director Zhang stood up, wiped his mouth, and said to Lu Yiran, “In a few days, after Shiyan recovers, we’ll finish recording the rest of the variety show, and then I’ll take you all to the seaside to have some fun.”

“Uh, can we… not go to the seaside?” Lu Yiran said with some difficulty. After Lu Yiran spoke, Director Zhang remembered what had happened in the past few days. “Oh, I forgot about that. Well, we’ll talk about where to go later.”

Hearing Director Zhang’s words, Lu Yiran asked the question she had been wanting to ask. “Director Zhang, didn’t you say this variety show of ours was also considered a dating show? Why do I feel it’s a bit different from the ones on TV…”

“How is it different?” Director Zhang said, telling Lu Yiran to look at the CP super topic. “Look, all sorts of CP pairings, and fan fiction.” Lu Yiran was extremely shocked after seeing it; had the super-topic become so popular in the days she hadn’t known?

At the hospital, Wen Shiyan was still waiting for Lu Yiran. Looking at Wen Shiyan, who was waiting to eat with Lu Yiran, Xiao Yu pondered.

“Shiyan, you haven’t fallen for Lu Yiran, have you? Let me tell you, even though Lu Yiran has really changed for the better now, she used to be…” Xiao Yu trailed off, seemingly unable to recall something. Looking at Xiao Yu, who was silent and frowning, Wen Shiyan looked up and asked, “How was she before?”

Xiao Yu asked Wen Shiyan with a mournful expression: “Shiyan, do you think I’m getting old? Why can’t I remember some things from the past?” Hearing Xiao Yu’s words, Wen Shiyan couldn’t help but laugh. “How is that possible, Sister Xiao Yu, you’re only in your thirties. Things on the internet are naturally hard to distinguish as true or false; we should only believe what we see. Doesn’t the Lu Yiran presented before us now seem great?”

“That’s true.” After speaking, Xiao Yu suddenly realized that Wen Shiyan hadn’t denied her statement. “Wait! Shiyan, you really like Lu Yiran…”

Seeing Wen Shiyan nod, Xiao Yu was stunned.

Entering the ward, Lu Yiran greeted Xiao Yu when she saw her. “Ah, Sister Xiao Yu, you’re here too.” Lu Yiran said, placing the bought steamed buns on the table.

Seeing Lu Yiran, Xiao Yu’s face was full of complexity. Could it be because she had Wen Shiyan participate in the variety show and spend too much time with Lu Yiran, leading to love over time? “You two…” Hearing Xiao Yu speaking, Lu Yiran looked at her. “Sister Xiao Yu, is something wrong?”

“Nothing, I have something to do, so I’ll leave first.” Xiao Yu said, then stood up and left. Sitting in the car, Xiao Yu was starting to doubt her life.

Scrolling through Weibo, Lu Yiran casually asked Wen Shiyan. “When are you being discharged?” Wen Shiyan, who had been focused on Lu Yiran, put down the book she was using to cover herself. “Tomorrow or the day after.”

Recalling the kind demeanor of Wen Shiyan’s father when they visited the hospital before, Lu Yiran thought that Wen Shiyan’s current indifferent appearance after his death was just a facade of composure. She cautiously said to Wen Shiyan, “Wen Shiyan, are you really okay? You can tell me if you’re sad.”

Seeing Lu Yiran looking at him, Wen Shiyan averted his gaze. “Sad? Why should I be sad?”

“Your father…” After Lu Yiran spoke, Wen Shiyan put down the book. “Lu Yiran, don’t be fooled by his superficial appearance; he is not as good as you imagine.” Wen Shiyan said with a serious expression. “Even me, you shouldn’t trust too much.”

Hearing Wen Shiyan’s last sentence, Lu Yiran stood up, looked at Wen Shiyan, and took a few steps back. Seeing Lu Yiran’s reaction, Wen Shiyan smiled. “Just kidding.” After saying that, Wen Shiyan picked up his book again.

After eating with Wen Shiyan, Lu Yiran went out for a trip.

“Chen Ziyun, I fell into the water a few days ago.” As soon as Lu Yiran finished speaking, Chen Ziyun anxiously asked, “What?! Are you okay?”

After reassuring Chen Ziyun, Lu Yiran said to her, “Ask the bodyguards my mom arranged to stay by my side to continue following me.” Hearing Lu Yiran’s words, Chen Ziyun thought something serious had happened to her. “What’s going on? Is the situation that serious?”

“No, having bodyguards follow me is just like before.” After hearing this, Chen Ziyun was still a little worried, “Alright, I’ll talk to the aunties.” After saying that, Chen Ziyun searched deeply for news about the program group on the internet, but after searching for a while, she couldn’t find any news about the program group having any problems.

Returning to the room, Lu Yiran saw Wen Shiyan looking at her with a hesitant expression. “What’s wrong?” Wen Shiyan apologized, “I accidentally overheard what you said just now.”

“It’s okay. Why hasn’t the back of your right hand healed yet?” Seeing the obvious bruise on Wen Shiyan’s hand, Lu Yiran asked. Wen Shiyan hid his hand in his sleeve, “It’s fine, it will heal in a few days.”

“Mhm.” Lu Yiran checked the time, found that it was almost noon, put on her bag, and said to Wen Shiyan, “I have something else to do, I’m leaving now, see you in a few days.”

“Okay, see you in a few days.” Wen Shiyan smiled and watched Lu Yiran leave. After Lu Yiran left, the smile on Wen Shiyan’s face faded.

[Quite an improvement, you’re not as sad as before when she leaves you.]

“Thank you for the compliment, it’s all thanks to you.” Wen Shiyan said coldly.

[Don’t be so cold.]

Seeing that Wen Shiyan ignored It, It left by itself after a while.

At night, Lu Yiran had the same dream again.

“Save us! Water… so much water…”

“Why, you clearly knew, why didn’t you come to save us!”

“No… it’s not like that… no!” Lu Yiran woke up with a start from the dream, gasping for breath, her forehead covered in cold sweat.

In front of the sink, looking at her reflection, which was covered in water, Lu Yiran lowered her head and murmured, “How can the same dream repeat twice, and with terrifying detail…”

But since she already knows the plot, it’s not a big deal even if she has some premonitory dreams. But should she tell others? Will anyone believe what she says?

Lu Yiran opened her phone and checked the weather for the next week, all sunny days. Oh no, now even fewer people would believe her.

“Sigh.” Lu Yiran sighed and threw her phone onto the bed. Suddenly, she thought of Wen Shiyan.

Lu Yiran grabbed her phone and called Wen Shiyan. After connecting, Lu Yiran said to Wen Shiyan, “Wen Shiyan, don’t speak, just listen to me first.”

“I had a dream yesterday, and I had the same dream today. In the dream, the village was destroyed by a flood, and many people died. I know people might say it’s a coincidence or something, but Wen Shiyan, you must believe me… I…”

Wen Shiyan listened quietly to Lu Yiran’s words. After Lu Yiran finished speaking, Wen Shiyan gently said, “I understand, can you tell me the content of the dream?”

Lu Yiran said in surprise, “Wen Shiyan, you believe what I’m saying?”

“Why wouldn’t I believe it.” After Wen Shiyan said that, Lu Yiran slowly told Wen Shiyan the content of the dream.

After listening, Wen Shiyan realized the situation was serious, and she asked Lu Yiran. “Are you saying that the village where Du Mian is will have an accident?”

Hearing Lu Yiran’s affirmative answer, Wen Shiyan told Lu Yiran that she would call her back later, then hung up the phone.

[Impossible! Do you believe me or her?]

“Of course, I believe her.” Wen Shiyan said, then thought about what to do next.

[Oh, okay.]

Wen Shiyan ignored It. She looked at the date; there were still three weeks until the time Lu Yiran said the accident would happen. Three weeks were enough time for an evacuation, but she needed to figure out a way to make the villagers believe her and be willing to leave the village.

After recovering, Wen Shiyan met Lu Yiran as expected. As soon as Wen Shiyan appeared, many people surrounded her with concern.

Wen Shiyan smiled and said to everyone, “Thank you for your concern, I’m fine now.”

“Then let’s start recording the last part, but it’s just a small game, don’t worry, everyone.” Director Zhang said, moving out a table and chairs.

Looking at the words on the lottery box, Wen Shiyan read them out in confusion. “Truth or Dare?”

“That’s right, whatever you draw is what you do. If you don’t follow the instructions, you’ll be penalized by drinking alcohol.” Director Zhang said, pulling out the locally brewed wine that the villagers had made and they hadn’t gotten to taste before.

Looking at Director Zhang’s eager expression, Xie Shuyao teased from the side, “Director Zhang, you wouldn’t intentionally lose just to drink, would you?”

“How is that possible!” Director Zhang said, then glanced at the producer guiltily. “Alright, alright, let’s start quickly.” Director Zhang urged.

“Shiyan actually drew ‘Truth’.” Director Zhang said, drawing a card and asking Wen Shiyan. “Who is Shiyan’s first love?”

Everyone was surprised that the question Director Zhang asked right away was so juicy, putting pressure on Wen Shiyan.

Wen Shiyan heard it, looked at Lu Yiran, and chuckled. “Someone from the same school as me, that’s all I can say.”

“Wow, Shiyan actually has someone she likes too.” Director Zhang cheered her on.

To avoid Director Zhang continuing, Wen Shiyan said helplessly, “Alright, it’s the next person’s turn.”

Lu Yiran took out the paper slip, looked at it, and said to Director Zhang, “It’s ‘Dare’.”

Looking at the content on the card, Director Zhang gradually became excited. “Kiss the person on your left.” After Director Zhang spoke, everyone unanimously looked at Xie Shuyao, who was to Lu Yiran’s left.

Seeing Xie Shuyao, Wen Shiyan suddenly stood up and said, “No!” Seeing Wen Shiyan so opinionated, Director Zhang whispered, “Yiran hasn’t said anything yet.” Hearing Director Zhang’s words, Wen Shiyan looked at Lu Yiran again.

Lu Yiran looked at Wen Shiyan, then at the blushing Xie Shuyao, and chose to drink under everyone’s expectant gaze.

It was hilarious; if she really kissed Xie Shuyao, she would be completely finished, wouldn’t she?

After drinking, Lu Yiran said in surprise, “It’s quite tasty.”

Next, it was Qin Mo’s turn. Looking at the paper slip in Qin Mo’s hand that said ‘Dare’, Director Zhang drew a card.

“Kiss the person opposite you.” After Director Zhang spoke, Qin Mo realized that the person sitting opposite him was Lu Yiran.

Seeing Wen Shiyan looking at him with a nervous expression, Qin Mo smirked and moved closer to Lu Yiran, his face gradually approaching hers.
