The Film Empress White Moonlight Wants To Be A Salted Fish - Chapter 58

After putting on her pajamas, Lu Yiran lay down on the bed, and Wen Shiyan lay down behind her, hugging her.

Lu Yiran closed her eyes but felt no sleepiness at all. She turned over and looked at Wen Shiyan, softly saying, “Wen Shiyan, I can’t sleep…”

Wen Shiyan checked the time and realized it was already late. She switched on the bedside lamp and asked Lu Yiran, “Is it because you slept too much during the day and can’t sleep tonight?”

“Probably.” After Lu Yiran said this, Wen Shiyan hugged her. Wen Shiyan kissed her forehead and said, “Close your eyes, sleep.”

Wen Shiyan gently patted Lu Yiran’s back. Lu Yiran closed her eyes in her arms. After a while, seeing that Lu Yiran was asleep, Wen Shiyan turned off the lamp.

As dawn approached, Lu Yiran still hadn’t fallen asleep. She quietly slipped out of Wen Shiyan’s arms and got out of bed.

Going to the living room, Lu Yiran sat on the sofa and wanted to turn on the TV, but the remote control was hidden by Wen Shiyan. Bored, Lu Yiran sat on the sofa with her knees hugged, waiting for Wen Shiyan to wake up.

When Wen Shiyan woke up and realized no one was beside her, she immediately became fully awake, got out of bed, and pushed open the bedroom door.

“Lu Yiran!”

Hearing Wen Shiyan calling her, Lu Yiran looked over at Wen Shiyan. Seeing Lu Yiran sitting right on the sofa, Wen Shiyan ran over and hugged her tightly.

Being hugged by Wen Shiyan, Lu Yiran’s hands didn’t know where to rest. She asked Wen Shiyan in confusion, “What’s wrong?”

“I thought you were gone…” Wen Shiyan said, then released Lu Yiran and carefully examined her face. Looking at Wen Shiyan’s lips, Lu Yiran closed her eyes, leaned in, and lightly pecked them.

After the kiss, Lu Yiran suddenly felt shy and turned her head away.

Wen Shiyan touched her lips, which Lu Yiran had just kissed, and looked at Lu Yiran in disbelief. She hadn’t expected Lu Yiran to kiss her first.

“I want to eat soup dumplings.”

After Lu Yiran spoke, Wen Shiyan finally came back to her senses. She said to Lu Yiran, “Okay, let’s go buy them together.”

She wanted Lu Yiran to go out for a walk. She had been in the hospital all this time without going out, and the doctor had also advised her to take Lu Yiran out more often.

Lu Yiran hesitated after hearing this. She looked out the window and then saw Wen Shiyan holding her hand, so she nodded.

After going out, Lu Yiran kept holding Wen Shiyan’s hand. Wen Shiyan deliberately walked very slowly to keep them outside for a little longer.

It was too cold outside, and not many people were out for breakfast yet, so Wen Shiyan and Lu Yiran ate at the shop.

Wen Shiyan only took one pair of chopsticks. After the soup dumplings had cooled down a bit, she picked one up and fed it to Lu Yiran’s mouth. This time, Lu Yiran didn’t refuse. She tucked the hair near her ear behind it, lowered her head, and took a bite.

“I’m full.” Lu Yiran put down her soy milk, wiped her mouth, and said to Wen Shiyan.

“Let’s go.” Wen Shiyan stood up and took Lu Yiran’s hand.

Wen Shiyan didn’t know when Lu Yiran would be willing to go out again after they returned home. She told a little lie, saying she hadn’t explored the area near their community and wanted to take a look. Lu Yiran believed her and followed Wen Shiyan to the park nearby.

When they first arrived at the park, there was no one inside yet. Wen Shiyan bought some bread for Lu Yiran and asked her to feed the ducks and fish in the water.

While feeding the fish and looking into the water, Lu Yiran couldn’t help but ask Wen Shiyan, “Wen Shiyan, is the lake water cold?”

Wen Shiyan, who was standing beside her, squatted down and said, “Try it.”

Wen Shiyan said, then held Lu Yiran’s hand and gently touched the water surface.

“So cold.” After Lu Yiran spoke, Wen Shiyan took out a tissue to wipe her fingertips.

As more people started to arrive, Wen Shiyan wanted to take Lu Yiran out of the park. Some children playing nearby accidentally bumped into Lu Yiran. Lu Yiran stumbled and almost fell but was quickly steadied by Wen Shiyan.

“Sorry!” The children apologized and quickly ran away.

Holding Lu Yiran, Wen Shiyan worriedly asked her, “Did you get hurt anywhere?” Lu Yiran shook her head in her arms.

A person nearby heard Wen Shiyan’s voice and pointed at her, asking, “You, are you Wen Shiyan?”

The voice was loud, and Wen Shiyan frowned as she looked at the person.

“It really is you! Then the person next to you must be Lu Yiran, right? Skipping filming a movie to date! Do you even care about us fans?!”

The person said and was about to move closer, but the bodyguards who were near them immediately stopped him.

“Miss, let’s go first.” A bodyguard said, and another bodyguard drove the car to the park entrance.

“Wen Shiyan actually came here! I’m going to post this on my Moments.”

As the crowd grew, Wen Shiyan left with Lu Yiran and the bodyguards.

Back at home, Lu Yiran sat gloomily on the sofa. Although some of the plot she knew was fake, according to the timeline, Wen Shiyan should have been filming a movie now, but instead, she was here because of her…

“Wen Shiyan, are you not filming the movie because of me?”

Hearing Lu Yiran’s words, Wen Shiyan was a little surprised. She sighed, sat down next to Lu Yiran, and leaned against her, saying, “No, don’t listen to other people’s nonsense. I was planning to take a break anyway.”

After Wen Shiyan said this, Lu Yiran’s tears couldn’t help but fall.

Her voice choked with sobs as she looked down and said, “But I saw the notes you made on the script… You definitely planned to go originally…”

“That’s in the past now, and there are better scripts waiting for me, aren’t there?” Wen Shiyan said, wiping away Lu Yiran’s tears. “Do you know why Shuyao hasn’t come to bother us?”

Lu Yiran sniffled and shook her head.

Wen Shiyan smiled and said to Lu Yiran, “I introduced her to the director. She won’t be back until the movie is finished.”

Lu Yiran broke into a smile. She had previously heard Xie Shuyao say that she planned to enjoy a break for half a year after the variety show wrapped up, but Wen Shiyan had now packaged her off to a film crew. Lu Yiran wiped away her tears and hugged Wen Shiyan.

After lunch, Wen Shiyan said to Lu Yiran, who was reading a book on the sofa, “Yiran, I need to go out for a while, but I’ll be back soon.”

“Okay.” Lu Yiran put down her book, stood up, and hugged Wen Shiyan.

“Be careful on the road.”

After Wen Shiyan left, Lu Yiran went into her study. There were many books on the shelves. Lu Yiran casually took one out and discovered that there was handwritten text inside the book.

Wen Shiyan went to the psychiatric hospital where Qin Mo was being held. Separated by the door, Wen Shiyan could hear Qin Mo talking to herself inside.

Looking at Wen Shiyan, Lu Chiqiu stood up and took Pei Ruochu’s arm, saying to Wen Shiyan, “Then we’ll wait for you outside.”

After Lu Chiqiu and Pei Ruochu left, Wen Shiyan sat down on a chair.

Wen Shiyan looked at the person inside and said, “Qin Mo, no, I should call you Qin Xuan.” After Wen Shiyan said this, Qin Xuan inside the room froze for a moment.

“When did you find out about Qin Mo’s existence?” Wen Shiyan asked Qin Xuan, but Qin Xuan remained silent.

After a long while, Wen Shiyan saw that Qin Xuan wasn’t talking and prepared to leave. Just as she stood up, Qin Xuan suddenly spoke, “How is Miss Lu?”

Looking at the bandage on Qin Xuan’s head, Wen Shiyan sat back down and answered her question.

“Yiran is doing very well, no need for Miss Qin to worry.”

“Ah, you’re here. I’ve already told her some secrets about you. I wonder what her reaction is now. It’s a pity I can’t see it myself.”

Hearing Qin Mo’s words, Wen Shiyan stood up abruptly, and the chair made a grating sound.

“What did you tell her!” Wen Shiyan grabbed the isolation barrier, her emotions highly agitated.

“Why would I tell you? But the next time we meet, I’ll be sure to tell you.”

After Qin Mo spoke, the visitation time ended, and the guards on the side reminded Wen Shiyan it was time to leave.

Wen Shiyan snorted coldly, stood up, and left.

Lu Yiran was sitting in the entryway wrapped in a blanket, waiting for Wen Shiyan, but Wen Shiyan still hadn’t returned home after a long wait. Lu Yiran unknowingly fell asleep.

After getting out of the car, Wen Shiyan said to Lu Chiqiu, “Auntie, I’ll head back now. Yiran is waiting for me.”

Lu Chiqiu nodded and watched Wen Shiyan enter the community.

She also really wanted to see her daughter, but her daughter seemed unwilling to see anyone else right now, which she understood.

When Wen Shiyan returned home, she saw Lu Yiran sleeping in the entryway. Wen Shiyan put down the things in her hands, picked up Lu Yiran, noticed she had gotten lighter again, and frowned as she placed Lu Yiran on the bed.

“Lost weight again?” Wen Shiyan muttered, sitting by Lu Yiran’s side.

Wen Shiyan found a digital scale at home, intending to weigh Lu Yiran after she woke up.

Just as Wen Shiyan was about to put the scale on the floor to try it herself, Xiao Yu called. Wen Shiyan took her phone out of her pocket and went outside the house.

“Shiyan, did you and Yiran go out together?” Xiao Yu initially thought the trending topic was fake, but the next second she heard Wen Shiyan confirming it.

“Sigh, fine, I’ll handle it. It’s not your fault. Make sure Yiran doesn’t get hold of a phone, and take good care of her.” Xiao Yu hung up the phone after saying this.

When Wen Shiyan looked at Weibo again, the trending topic related to her that had climbed up was already starting to be suppressed by other trending topics.

Wen Shiyan returned home, and Lu Yiran had already woken up. Lu Yiran rubbed her eyes, got out of bed, and came to look for her. Seeing that Lu Yiran wasn’t wearing shoes, Wen Shiyan pulled her to sit on the sofa and put her shoes on for her.

Seeing Lu Yiran’s listless look on the sofa, Wen Shiyan’s cool fingertips touched her face. Lu Yiran flinched, covered her face, and looked at Wen Shiyan.

Wen Shiyan wasn’t sure if Lu Yiran had slept after she fell asleep, so she asked, “Didn’t sleep well last night?”

Lu Yiran was afraid of worrying Wen Shiyan, so she shook her head.

When sleeping at night, Wen Shiyan paid special attention to Lu Yiran’s movements.

Seeing that Wen Shiyan was asleep, Lu Yiran lifted the quilt and prepared to get out of bed. Wen Shiyan reached out and pulled her back. Lu Yiran gasped and tumbled into her arms.

Held tightly in Wen Shiyan’s embrace, with her breath against her skin, Lu Yiran trembled slightly. She lowered her head and asked Wen Shiyan, “You’re not asleep yet?”

“Mmm, can’t Yiran sleep?” Wen Shiyan hugged Lu Yiran tighter and asked her.

The two of them were pressed tightly together. Feeling the warmth behind her, Lu Yiran suddenly felt her body begin to heat up.

Wen Shiyan remembered the doctor telling her that appropriate intimacy between partners can alleviate the other person’s physical tension and psychological stress, which can make a person feel happy and satisfied.

Wen Shiyan gently pushed Lu Yiran down onto the bed and said to her, “Then let’s do something interesting.”

Lu Yiran, pressed beneath Wen Shiyan, blushed as she looked into her eyes.

Wen Shiyan gradually drew closer, her lips lightly tracing over Lu Yiran’s, leaving a tingling sensation.
