The Film Empress White Moonlight Wants To Be A Salted Fish - Chapter 60

Wen Shiyan smiled and released Lu Yiran. This method really worked Lu Yiran actually suggested going out herself.

Seeing Wen Shiyan smile, Lu Yiran shyly pushed her away, got out of bed, and left the room.

Wen Shiyan took Lu Yiran to an amusement park.

Upon arriving at the amusement park, Lu Yiran was surprised that Wen Shiyan had brought her there. In her impression, Wen Shiyan seemed like she wouldn’t frequent such places.

The two played for a long time, and Lu Yiran was so tired that she sat on a long bench, bending over. She panted, looking at the vibrant and energetic Wen Shiyan. Isn’t Wen Shiyan older than her? How is her stamina so good…

Wen Shiyan sat beside Lu Yiran, unscrewed a bottle of water, and handed it to her, saying, “Can you still walk?”

Lu Yiran shook her head. She was utterly exhausted and couldn’t take another step. Lu Yiran then saw Wen Shiyan squat down in front of her.

“I’ll carry you. I’ll take you to eat something delicious later.”

Seeing Wen Shiyan squat down, Lu Yiran hesitated for a moment, then gently climbed onto Wen Shiyan’s back and hugged her. Wen Shiyan carried Lu Yiran towards the car.

People passing by during this time looked curiously at the two of them. Lu Yiran’s ears were red, and she buried her face in Wen Shiyan’s clothes.

Lu Yiran, resting her head on Wen Shiyan’s shoulder, suddenly whispered in her ear, “Wen Shiyan, am I heavy?”

“Not heavy, too light. I could carry you around the whole amusement park. You need to eat more in the future,” Wen Shiyan sighed, saying that she still hadn’t managed to make Lu Yiran gain weight recently. She planned to research new recipes when they got home.

She took Lu Yiran to a barbecue stall. Since it wasn’t evening yet, there weren’t too many people. Wen Shiyan and Lu Yiran sat in the most secluded spot in the restaurant.

They both wore masks and hats until the ordered dishes arrived before taking them off.

“Can I really eat these?” Lu Yiran asked in disbelief. It wasn’t that Wen Shiyan hadn’t allowed her to eat them before; it was just that it had been a long time since she had gone out to eat skewers with someone else. But now, Wen Shiyan wasn’t ‘someone else.’

“Mm, eat. We don’t eat these often, so one time won’t hurt,” Wen Shiyan said, picking vegetables for Lu Yiran.

After dinner, Wen Shiyan drove Lu Yiran to the suburbs.

As soon as they got out of the car, a cold wind seeped into their clothes. Lu Yiran held her collar and asked Wen Shiyan, confused, “There’s no one here. What are we doing here?”

“Look,” Wen Shiyan said, pointing to the sky. As soon as Wen Shiyan spoke, Lu Yiran saw fireworks soaring into the air. With a burst of sound, clusters of splendid fireworks blossomed in the night sky.

People passing by took out their phones to capture the beautiful moment.

“Wen Shiyan… you…”

“Yiran, do you like it?” Wen Shiyan held Lu Yiran’s hand and asked with a smile.

Lu Yiran was so astonished she was somewhat speechless. Seeing everything Wen Shiyan had done for her, Lu Yiran recalled what Qin Mo had told her. Wen Shiyan truly cared about her. Qin Mo was indeed talking nonsense.

After the fireworks ended, Wen Shiyan, fearing Lu Yiran would catch a cold, got into the car with her.

Inside the car, Lu Yiran lifted her head and seriously told Wen Shiyan, “Thank you, I like it very much.” After saying this, Lu Yiran held the seat and leaned over to kiss Wen Shiyan voluntarily.

Wen Shiyan smiled after being kissed by Lu Yiran. “I’m glad you like it. Let’s go home.”

“Mm, let’s go home.”

Wen Shiyan finally accepted the script. Lu Yiran went to the set with Wen Shiyan. After meeting the director, Lu Yiran realized that the director was actually Chu Han, who had previously jokingly suggested she star in her next movie.

Chu Han was a bit surprised to see Lu Yiran. She had also seen the news on Weibo but hadn’t called Lu Yiran, afraid of bringing up unpleasant memories.

Chu Han didn’t say much else; she asked Lu Yiran, “Yiran? Why did you come with Teacher Wen?” Chu Han looked at Lu Yiran, who, with a slightly evasive look, tugged at Wen Shiyan’s sleeve.

Seeing Lu Yiran and Wen Shiyan so close, Chu Han couldn’t help but recall the trending topic involving Lu Yiran and Wen Shiyan earlier.

“Are you two together?” Chu Han asked casually, not expecting them to answer her question. To her surprise, Wen Shiyan stood in front of Lu Yiran and nodded.

“Yes, we are. Can Yiran stay with me on set? We can share a room,” Wen Shiyan said, and Chu Han’s eyes lit up.

“Of course! You can also have separate rooms if you want; the crew can afford it.”

“No need, we’ll stay together.”

Since Wen Shiyan had said so, Chu Han didn’t press further. She looked at Lu Yiran and suddenly felt that her current state was very suitable for a character in her film. Although she knew Lu Yiran had retired from the entertainment industry, she still decided to ask.

“Um… Yiran, would you consider playing a role in the movie? The part isn’t big, but I think it suits Yiran very well.”

As soon as Chu Han finished speaking, she heard Wen Shiyan reject her request.

“No!”

Wen Shiyan’s refusal made Chu Han look at her doubtfully. She said, “Why not, Teacher Wen? Yiran hasn’t even said anything.” Chu Han looked at Lu Yiran, awaiting her answer.

“Yiran…” Wen Shiyan didn’t want Lu Yiran to miss this opportunity, but she was afraid Lu Yiran might have another accident during filming…

Hearing Wen Shiyan call her name, Lu Yiran felt a little conflicted, but thinking this was her last chance to stand side by side with Wen Shiyan, Lu Yiran released Wen Shiyan’s hand and stepped out from behind her.

Lu Yiran told Chu Han, “But I’m not a good actress : are you really not worried?”

Chu Han quickly shook her head. Her character didn’t require any acting skills : Lu Yiran could simply portray her current self.

Hearing Lu Yiran say yes, Chu Han was overjoyed. “Thank you, thank you!” Chu Han excitedly grabbed Lu Yiran’s hand, ignoring Wen Shiyan, who was intently watching them. “I’ll leave now. See you at the launch ceremony the day after tomorrow.”

The actor for the last role was finally confirmed. She had been worried about it.

After Chu Han left, Lu Yiran hugged Wen Shiyan, who clearly looked preoccupied, to comfort her.

“It’s okay, it’s okay, I’ll be fine. Besides, don’t you want to act opposite me?”

“I do, but you must not leave my sight afterwards,” Wen Shiyan said while holding Lu Yiran, not releasing her until people started approaching them.

They went to Chen Ziyun’s house.

Lu Yiran told Chen Ziyun that she was joining the film crew too. Chen Ziyun listened but didn’t speak, continuing to chew on her spoon.

After a while, Chen Ziyun suddenly asked Lu Yiran, “How much is the pay?”

Lu Yiran then remembered she hadn’t signed the contract yet. She cleared her throat a few times. “I’ll tell you in a couple of days. Aren’t you surprised to hear what I said?”

Chen Ziyun put down her spoon and felt Lu Yiran’s forehead, looking a bit confused. “You don’t have a fever. Why should I be surprised? It would be strange if you weren’t sticking to Wen Shiyan.”

Chen Ziyun finished speaking and looked at Wen Shiyan, who was waiting for Lu Yiran in the living room. Chen Ziyun nudged Lu Yiran, saying, “Alright, alright, you two should leave quickly. You have someone else to take care of you now, so you definitely don’t need me anymore.”

“Why wouldn’t I need you? But Chen Ziyun, you should find a partner soon too,” Lu Yiran teased Chen Ziyun.

Chen Ziyun looked at Lu Yiran. Her best friend was finally returning to her old self. That was wonderful.

After leaving Chen Ziyun’s house with Wen Shiyan, the two returned home to pack some luggage. Before joining the crew, Lu Yiran went home one last time. Wen Shiyan stayed in the car and waited for Lu Yiran.

“Don’t rely on Xiaoshi to take care of you all the time. She’s going to be busy when you join the crew, so you need to learn to care for her too she gets tired as well,” Lu Chiqiu said, stroking Lu Yiran’s thin face.

“And she’s the one who’s been taking care of you the whole time. She’s the one who brought you back.”

Half an hour later, Wen Shiyan saw Lu Yiran emerge from the house. After getting into the car, Lu Yiran asked Wen Shiyan for tissues.

She hadn’t realized that she was rescued because of Wen Shiyan, and ever since she woke up, Wen Shiyan had been the one taking care of her and her various emotions. But she felt like she had nothing to give Wen Shiyan…

Wiping her tears, Lu Yiran asked Wen Shiyan, “Wen Shiyan, what do you want? What can I give you…”

Wen Shiyan heard this, turned around, and stroked Lu Yiran’s head. “I don’t want anything. You’ve already given me the most precious gift.”

Lu Yiran was confused and told Wen Shiyan, “I haven’t given you anything…”

Wen Shiyan leaned close to Lu Yiran and pressed her lips against hers. “Your acceptance of my confession is the most precious and favorite gift I’ve ever received in this lifetime.”

Lu Yiran realized what Wen Shiyan was saying, blushed, and lowered her head.

Back home, Lu Yiran started sorting her clothes. Wen Shiyan saw this and told her to rest on the sofa, offering to pack herself.

Lu Yiran refused. She hadn’t done anything recently all aspects of her life, from clothing to food and shelter, were arranged by Wen Shiyan. She felt she could handle this small task.

Seeing Lu Yiran’s insistence, Wen Shiyan could only stay by her side and help her pack the clothes.

After Lu Yiran had packed for a while, Wen Shiyan felt they had packed enough. She held down Lu Yiran’s hand and said, “You don’t need to bring too much. I can buy anything you need.”

“Okay,” Lu Yiran obediently closed the suitcase.

Arriving at the accommodation arranged by the film crew, Lu Yiran read the script and found that her character did indeed have few scenes, but was very important to the protagonist, similar to a ‘white moonlight’ figure. Seeing this, Lu Yiran looked at Wen Shiyan.

Sensing Lu Yiran’s gaze, Wen Shiyan walked over and asked, “What’s wrong?”

Lu Yiran hadn’t finished the script yet. She pointed to the script and asked Wen Shiyan about the story’s ending. Wen Shiyan was silent for a moment.

“The protagonist eventually leaves to find that girl.”

This was also why Wen Shiyan didn’t want Lu Yiran to play this role she was afraid Lu Yiran would get too immersed…

Lu Yiran didn’t immediately understand what ‘leaves’ meant, but considering Wen Shiyan’s previous statement that the girl was already dead, Lu Yiran fell silent. So the ending was a ‘Bad End’ (BE). No wonder the girl became the protagonist’s white moonlight…

“If you don’t like it, I’ll talk to Chu Han,” Wen Shiyan said, about to get up, but Lu Yiran pulled her hand.

“No need, I think it’s very good.” Lu Yiran stroked the script with her hand. She knew that this ending was already very good for both the protagonist and the girl.
