The Film Empress White Moonlight Wants To Be A Salted Fish - Chapter 63

Unbeknownst to them, the movie’s filming progress was already two thirds complete.

Ever since joining the crew, Lu Yiran had been receiving flowers from Wen Shiyan every few days, which forced her to buy several more vases. However, every time Lu Yiran returned to her room, she would be greeted by the scent of flowers, and even her sleep quality at night improved. Lu Yiran quite liked it.

“This time it’s forget-me-nots, do you like them?” Wen Shiyan said, placing the flowers in Lu Yiran’s arms. Lu Yiran nodded and put the flowers in a vase.

Lu Yiran looked at Wen Shiyan and sighed, “I do like them, but maybe stop buying them. There’s no more room in the apartment.”

Although she really liked the flowers Wen Shiyan sent, flowers eventually wither. Even though Lu Yiran had picked some petals from each bouquet and made them into specimens, she still felt reluctant when it came time to discard the wilting flowers.

Wen Shiyan took off her jacket, draped it over a chair, and said to Lu Yiran, “Mhm, I’ll send something else next time.” Wen Shiyan looked at the several vases arranged in the room. She felt that she had sent too many flowers, and Lu Yiran must be tired of seeing them. She should send something different.

Lu Yiran suddenly remembered a question she had wanted to ask Wen Shiyan before but had forgotten. She took Wen Shiyan’s hand, sat on the sofa, and looked at her seriously, asking, “Why were you so clear about my affairs before? I never told you I was allergic to cantaloupe, nor did I tell you I don’t like using a hairdryer. Wen Shiyan, how exactly did you know?”

Wen Shiyan didn’t want to hide anything from Lu Yiran, but she couldn’t tell Lu Yiran the truth.

Seeing Wen Shiyan remain silent, Lu Yiran continued on her own, “Wen Shiyan, do you believe that the world we live in is fake?”

Lu Yiran got up and walked to the window, looking at the rain outside. After a while, she turned around, looked at Wen Shiyan, and said, “In the book, you are the female lead, and I… am just a vicious female supporting character who meets a tragic end.”

“N-no, that’s not true! You’re not…” Wen Shiyan rose in panic upon hearing this, but dared not get closer to Lu Yiran. She lowered her head so Lu Yiran couldn’t see her expression. Lu Yiran walked over to her side.

“But I don’t believe in these things, Wen Shiyan. As long as you don’t hide anything from me, I will always love you.” Lu Yiran said, making Wen Shiyan look up. Only then did Lu Yiran clearly see Wen Shiyan’s face.

Lu Yiran leaned close to Wen Shiyan’s ear and whispered, “But I believe my Jiejie won’t hide anything from me, right?”

“Yiran, how could I hide anything from you?”

Wen Shiyan’s expression showed no change, and Lu Yiran couldn’t discern anything.

Seeing the atmosphere start to become strange, Lu Yiran smiled and playfully complained to Wen Shiyan, “I’m so hungry, Wen Shiyan, let’s go eat.”

“Mhm…” Wen Shiyan was already distracted when she heard Lu Yiran, answering her somewhat absentmindedly.

Lu Yiran had long been suspicious of this world. She couldn’t believe why she, an ordinary person, had encountered so much misfortune. Although Wen Shiyan concealed her emotions very well, Lu Yiran was not so easily fooled.

Lu Yiran believed that Wen Shiyan, who slept next to her every day, would not harm her. Since Wen Shiyan wanted to hide something, the truth must be related to her. As for what exactly Wen Shiyan was hiding from her, she thought she would find the truth herself.

Wen Shiyan was tense all day, afraid that Lu Yiran would notice something unusual about her.

Oddly, Lu Yiran didn’t ask her anything further. Wen Shiyan simply assumed that Lu Yiran had casually asked because she had dreamed something.

[There’s nothing we can do about this. She will definitely understand once she knows, so don’t feel any mental burden.]

The system tried to comfort Wen Shiyan, but its words had no effect.

“Should I just tell her directly…”

As soon as Wen Shiyan finished speaking, the system exclaimed loudly, [Are you trying to get yourself killed?!]

Just then, Lu Yiran suddenly came up to Wen Shiyan and said, “Wen Shiyan, Chu Han is calling for you.”

“Coming.” Seeing Lu Yiran leave, Wen Shiyan whispered to the system, “Don’t talk about these things anymore.”

Chu Han did have something important to discuss with Wen Shiyan, which was about the last scene Lu Yiran had to film. After this last part was filmed, Lu Yiran would finish her role, but this final content was a bit…

Chu Han didn’t know how it was such a coincidence. She only initially knew that Lu Yiran’s character was kidnapped. When she asked Lu Yiran to play this role, she hadn’t thought Lu Yiran had a similar experience, and she only learned about it later from Wen Shiyan.

After Chu Han finished speaking, Wen Shiyan heard faint footsteps outside the door. Wen Shiyan recognized it was Lu Yiran. She said to Chu Han, “Just proceed with your original plan. Yiran will be fine, right, Yiran?”

Knowing that Wen Shiyan had discovered her, Lu Yiran pushed the door open, glanced at Chu Han and Wen Shiyan inside, and nodded. “Yes, I’m fine.”

Hearing Lu Yiran’s words, Chu Han felt relieved. “That’s good. If there are any issues during filming, shout ‘Cut’ immediately, okay.”

In Guan Qin xuan’s room, there was paper and a pen. Right after Qin xuan finished writing on the paper, Qin Mo took control of the body.

After reading the words on the paper, Qin Mo let out a contemptuous laugh. “Heh, to say such a thing just to stop me from touching her.” Qin Mo tore off the paper, crumpled it into a ball, and threw it into the trash can.

Qin Mo thought for a moment and wrote a sentence on the paper. After that, she temporarily left. Qin xuan regained consciousness. Seeing the content on the paper, Qin xuan’s hands trembled as she picked up the notebook.

[I will make you watch her die in my hands Mo]

Qin xuan didn’t know why Qin Mo would say this. She dared not risk Qin Mo being able to leave the room. She requested the people outside to tie her up, hoping this would prevent Qin Mo from getting out…

Lu Yiran took a deep breath and entered the dimly lit room where the scene was being filmed. Lu Yiran sat in a corner of the room, hugging her knees.

“Action!”

Lu Yiran didn’t know how long she had waited. Finally, she heard approaching footsteps, but she knew the sound would soon disappear and wouldn’t stay by her side.

The footsteps stopped. Lu Yiran looked towards the sealed window and locked eyes with Wen Shiyan, who was squatting outside looking into the room.

Wen Shiyan looked at Lu Yiran in the darkness and gently asked, “How old are you, and how did you end up here?”

Lu Yiran didn’t know how many years it had been since she last spoke. Having been locked inside for so long, she could no longer make a sound. She looked blankly at Wen Shiyan and didn’t know to ask her for help. Wen Shiyan glanced at her and left.

Lu Yiran initially thought Wen Shiyan, having left, would not reappear like others. Who knew Lu Yiran saw Wen Shiyan return again, this time with a tool in hand.

The window was broken, and police officers were following behind Wen Shiyan. A beam of sunlight shone into the room. Lu Yiran couldn’t help but close her eyes. When she reopened them, she saw Wen Shiyan, who was completely bathed in sunlight. Wen Shiyan reached out her hand to Lu Yiran and said, “I’ve come to take you out now.”

“Cut! Perfect!” Chu Han said. Lu Yiran was helped up from the ground by Wen Shiyan.

Lu Yiran would feel fear when she was alone in a dark, enclosed space. If Wen Shiyan was with her at that time, everything was fine. This time, she was also locked in a room, similar to before, but the feeling of fear had vanished. She looked at Wen Shiyan. It was indeed because Wen Shiyan was there with her.

Wen Shiyan gave the flowers she had bought to Lu Yiran and said, “Congratulations on wrapping up your filming.” After saying this, Wen Shiyan kissed Lu Yiran’s forehead in front of everyone.

There was a collective gasp of surprise at the scene.

Lu Yiran had finished her role. Her scenes were few to begin with. The main reason she joined the crew was to be with Wen Shiyan.

After taking a group photo with everyone in the crew and posting it on Weibo, Lu Yiran’s mission was considered complete.

Right after the Weibo post went out, Lu Yiran received a call from Chen Ziyun.

Chen Ziyun was at the beach. She put her coconut water aside, stood up, and said to Lu Yiran, “Congratulations on wrapping up! Are you coming to visit me in a few days?”

Lu Yiran glanced at Wen Shiyan, who was talking to Chu Han, and said, “No, we’ll go together after Wen Shiyan finishes her filming.”

Chu Han had originally offered to treat everyone to a meal, but Lu Yiran politely declined as she didn’t want to interact with so many people.

Wen Shiyan’s scenes were not yet finished. She had intended for Lu Yiran to go home, as living there was more comfortable than staying with the crew. However, Lu Yiran refused. She had come to the crew specifically to accompany Wen Shiyan, so she didn’t care about anything else.

While Lu Yiran went out to buy food near the set, the system seized the opportunity to speak to Wen Shiyan.

[I find the content of this movie a bit strange.]

Hearing that the system had finally noticed something strange, Wen Shiyan flipped through the script: “It’s right that you find it strange. This is not Chu Han’s style of movie, and we still don’t know who the real screenwriter is.”

“This movie is missing something. The following is just my guess: I suspect Yiran wrote this script.”

After Wen Shiyan finished, the system argued back in disbelief.

[Impossible! If she really wrote it, then why would she write this script? And her ability is already so…]

Wen Shiyan didn’t say anything more to the system. She put down the script and said to the system, “It’s just a guess. I just find the content of this script a bit familiar.”

Wen Shiyan didn’t know why Lu Yiran would write this script, but also because of what the system just said, she had some doubts about the system that had always been by her side.

When Lu Yiran returned to the hotel, she opened the door and saw Wen Shiyan sitting on the sofa, pondering over the script. Lu Yiran walked past Wen Shiyan and sat down beside her.

Seeing Lu Yiran, Wen Shiyan couldn’t help but ponder in her heart.

Her intuition told her that this script was indeed written by Lu Yiran, but Wen Shiyan was puzzled as to why Lu Yiran would write it?

Wen Shiyan kept looking at Lu Yiran. Lu Yiran waved her hand in front of Wen Shiyan’s eyes and asked, “Wen Shiyan, what are you thinking about?”

“Nothing. Are you really going to stay here and accompany me?” As soon as Wen Shiyan finished speaking, she heard Lu Yiran snort.

“Nonsense. I already said I’d stay here and accompany you. Are you that afraid I’ll run away?”

“How dare I think that.”

Wen Shiyan knew the system was constantly observing them. She just hugged Lu Yiran briefly before leaving the room with her.
