The Film Empress White Moonlight Wants To Be A Salted Fish - Chapter 56.1

“I’ll be out again…”

After saying that, Qin Mo smiled and left with the police.

Lu Yiran had been sleeping for a day and still hadn’t woken up. By the hospital bed, Wen Shiyan worriedly held her hand.

Seeing that Wen Shiyan had been guarding Lu Yiran’s bedside without sleeping, Lu Chiuqiu came over and gently said, “Xiao Shi, go get some sleep. I’ll watch over Ranran here.”

Wen Shiyan shook her head and said to Lu Chiqiu and Pei Ruochu beside her, “No, Auntie, you two should rest.”

Lu Chiqiu and Pei Ruochu exchanged glances and sat on chairs by the bed, waiting for Lu Yiran to wake up.

Lu Yiran showed no signs of waking up even in the evening. Lu Chiqiu and Pei Ruochu had to leave to cooperate with the police investigation.

“Yiran… please wake up soon, okay?” Wen Shiyan pressed Lu Yiran’s hand to her face, pleading for Lu Yiran to wake up quickly.

Lu Yiran struggled to open her eyes. She moved her head and saw an IV drip in her left hand. Her right hand was being held by Wen Shiyan. Lu Yiran gently moved her fingers.

Sensing Lu Yiran’s fingers moving, Wen Shiyan looked up and saw Lu Yiran’s open eyes.

“Yiran…” Wen Shiyan said, wanting to touch Lu Yiran’s face, but Lu Yiran recoiled.

“Don’t touch me!”

After saying it subconsciously, Lu Yiran looked at Wen Shiyan in disbelief. She gripped her hands tightly in panic.

Lu Yiran’s explanation to Wen Shiyan was pale and weak: “No, Wen Shiyan, I didn’t mean that…”

Seeing Lu Yiran shaking uncontrollably, Wen Shiyan moved slightly away from her, creating some distance so Lu Yiran wouldn’t feel afraid.

“It’s okay, I know. I’ll go call the doctor now.” Wen Shiyan said, placing Lu Yiran’s pendant next to her pillow before leaving.

Seeing Wen Shiyan leave, Lu Yiran covered her eyes with her hand, avoiding the harsh light in the room.

Outside, Wen Shiyan saw Xiao Yu, who was about to enter the ward to see Lu Yiran.

Wen Shiyan pulled Xiao Yu aside and whispered to her, “Sister Xiao Yu, don’t go in yet. Yiran probably doesn’t want to interact with us right now.”

Xiao Yu also knew what that lunatic had done to Lu Yiran. She sat down angrily in a chair.

“Bastard! Beast!” Xiao Yu cursed Qin Mo angrily.

Wen Shiyan went to call the doctor first. Entering the ward with the doctor, Wen Shiyan saw Lu Yiran with her head covered by a blanket.

The doctor checked Lu Yiran’s body and found that she was only slightly malnourished, and then asked her a few questions.

After leaving with the doctor, the doctor paused and said to Wen Shiyan, “She may experience side effects like insomnia later on. The photophobia just now is because she’s been in a dark room and hasn’t adapted yet. She probably doesn’t want to interact with people now, so after you take her home, you need to watch her recover slowly, and come back for psychological treatment if necessary.”

“But she flinched and told me not to touch her when I touched her just now.” Wen Shiyan said, and the doctor comforted her, saying, “That’s also a sign of psychological trauma. Once she gets better, it will be fine.”

The doctor finished speaking and looked at Wen Shiyan, finding her somewhat familiar, but she didn’t ask further. She then said to Wen Shiyan, “You are her family, right? You need to spend more time with her and distract her attention later.”

Seeing Wen Shiyan take note of everything she said, the doctor then left.

Looking at Lu Yiran in the ward, Wen Shiyan didn’t go in but stayed outside with Xiao Yu.

As soon as Lu Yiran woke up, Wen Shiyan contacted Lu Chiqiu and Pei Ruochu immediately. A few hours later, seeing the arriving Lu Chiuqiu, Wen Shiyan felt relieved.

“Ranran, is there any part of your body that feels uncomfortable?” Lu Chiqiu asked, but Lu Yiran didn’t speak.

“Ranran, I brought food for you. Would you call Xiao Shi to eat together?”

After Lu Chiqiu spoke, Lu Yiran still didn’t move. She stood up and called Wen Shiyan and Xiao Yu to eat together. Xiao Yu had already eaten and politely declined.

Wen Shiyan entered the ward and saw Lu Yiran sitting up. Lu Yiran looked at the approaching Wen Shiyan expressionlessly. Wen Shiyan sat down beside her. Lu Yiran quietly moved a little further away from Wen Shiyan.

Lu Chiqiu placed the spoon in Lu Yiran’s hand. Seeing the spoon, Lu Yiran dropped it in horror.

“Don’t… don’t bring it near…” Lu Yiran hugged her head and huddled up.

Lu Chiqiu quickly took all the spoons away.

“It’s okay, it’s okay, it’s over.” Wen Shiyan embraced Lu Yiran and gently patted her back. Lu Yiran tried to push Wen Shiyan away, but Wen Shiyan held her tightly.

After Lu Yiran in her arms calmed down, Wen Shiyan took a straw and offered Lu Yiran some congee. Lu Yiran didn’t drink much, and Wen Shiyan finished the rest for her.

After clearing the utensils, Wen Shiyan said to Lu Chiqiu, “Auntie, you probably still have things to do, I can look after her here.”

Seeing the listless Lu Yiran sitting silently on the bed, Lu Chiqiu pondered for a moment and entrusted Lu Yiran to Wen Shiyan.

“Ranan, Mom is leaving now.”

Lu Chiqiu squatted in front of Lu Yiran and spoke to her, but Lu Yiran still gave no response. After gently removing the blanket Lu Yiran had wrapped herself in, Lu Chiqiu picked up her bag and left.

After Lu Chiqiu left, Lu Yiran picked up the blanket again and wrapped herself in it. Wen Shiyan didn’t speak; she quietly watched Lu Yiran from the side.

After an unknown amount of time, perhaps because she was tired of being in one position for too long, Lu Yiran lay down on the bed.

Seeing Lu Yiran’s head completely covered, Wen Shiyan was worried she might suffocate, so she walked over, intending to pull the blanket down a bit. As soon as Wen Shiyan’s hand went down, Lu Yiran grabbed her wrist and lightly bit it.

It didn’t hurt; it was just a tickle.

After biting Wen Shiyan, Lu Yiran saw that Wen Shiyan’s hand was damp, so she took a tissue and wiped it for her.

Seeing Lu Yiran’s action, Wen Shiyan couldn’t help but laugh.

Noticing Wen Shiyan laughing at her, Lu Yiran grabbed the blanket and covered herself completely.

“Alright, I’m sorry, I shouldn’t have laughed.” After Wen Shiyan apologized, she saw Lu Yiran lying motionless on the bed. She tugged at Lu Yiran’s blanket, but Lu Yiran snatched it back.

“Can I sleep next to you then? There seems to be only one bed in this room.”

When Wen Shiyan said this, Lu Yiran didn’t seem to find anything wrong with it. She thought for a moment and still made some room for Wen Shiyan.

Wen Shiyan took off her coat, lay down, and hugged Lu Yiran. Lu Yiran struggled for a moment, but seeing that Wen Shiyan didn’t let go, she allowed herself to be held.

Wen Shiyan hadn’t heard Lu Yiran speak since she woke up. Looking at the back of Lu Yiran’s neck, Wen Shiyan leaned in and lightly nuzzled it with her nose.

Feeling the tickle on her neck, Lu Yiran moved to dodge a little, but afraid that her action would hurt Wen Shiyan, she controlled her body from recoiling.

Before long, Lu Yiran heard the steady breathing behind her. She turned over and saw the sleeping Wen Shiyan. She closed her eyes and moved her body closer to Wen Shiyan.

Waking up in the morning, Wen Shiyan opened her eyes and found Lu Yiran in her arms. Wen Shiyan hugged Lu Yiran, inhaling her scent with longing. Then, she cautiously got out of bed to change her clothes.

Lu Yiran was already awake. When Wen Shiyan hugged her, her body tensed up, and she didn’t dare to move. After Wen Shiyan got out of bed, Lu Yiran secretly glanced at her.

Seeing that Wen Shiyan was changing clothes, Lu Yiran quickly closed her eyes.

After changing her clothes, Wen Shiyan came to the bedside and found Lu Yiran still asleep with her eyes closed. She touched Lu Yiran’s head and went out.

“Don’t leave the ward casually these few days. Someone has already seen you entering and exiting the hospital.” Xiao Yu said, and Wen Shiyan sat down beside her.

Wen Shiyan thanked Xiao Yu, who then went into the ward to look at Lu Yiran.

“Then I’ll leave now. Don’t worry about the other matters.” Xiao Yu said and left.

Just as Xiao Yu left, Xie Shuyao called. Wen Shiyan hesitated for a moment but answered.

“Why didn’t you tell me that Sister Yiran was in the hospital? Do you know how worried I was about you?” Xie Shuyao kept talking, and hung up before Wen Shiyan could speak.

Wen Shiyan looked at her phone in confusion. Just as she put the phone in her pocket, she saw Xie Shuyao walking towards her.

“Hmph. Such a big thing and you didn’t tell me. If I hadn’t tricked Chen Ziyun into telling me, you probably still wouldn’t have told me.” Xie Shuyao said, walking straight into Lu Yiran’s ward.

Seeing that Xie Shuyao even knew which ward it was, Wen Shiyan sighed. How much did Chen Ziyun tell Xie Shuyao…

However, because Lu Yiran didn’t want to see anyone, Xie Shuyao didn’t stay long and left.

Seeing Wen Shiyan sitting next to her, Lu Yiran tugged at her sleeve. Wen Shiyan looked towards Lu Yiran.

Lu Yiran said to Wen Shiyan in a hesitant voice, “Don’t… let anyone else… come in…”

“Okay.”

Wen Shiyan understood why Lu Yiran wasn’t talking it was because she simply couldn’t speak before.

After saying one sentence, as if all her strength was used up, Lu Yiran leaned on Wen Shiyan’s shoulder and closed her eyes.

Realizing Lu Yiran was asleep, Wen Shiyan gently placed her on the bed. She was about to reach for something, but Lu Yiran tightly held her sleeve, refusing to let go. Wen Shiyan helplessly sat beside Lu Yiran, watching her sleep.

Lu Yiran felt so tired, an indescribable exhaustion of body and mind. She had many, many dreams. In her dreams, she saw Wen Shiyan with “her.”
