The Film Empress White Moonlight Wants To Be A Salted Fish - Chapter 64

Wen Shiyan inexplicably felt that time was passing quickly. The film shoot itself was supposed to take three months, but the two months they had experienced felt like they had flown by in a blink. Wen Shiyan clearly felt that time was disappearing much faster than before.

Wen Shiyan still interacted with the system as usual, and she couldn’t help but say to it, “I just feel like something bad is going to happen.”

【How could that be? Are you overthinking it?】

Looking at Lu Yiran, who was still soundly asleep, Wen Shiyan lowered her head and replied, “Perhaps. I hope I really am overthinking it.”

Lu Yiran woke up, yawning, and suddenly saw Wen Shiyan’s eyes.

“Ahhh!” Lu Yiran screamed in fright and backed up a few steps, only to fall off the bed entirely. Wen Shiyan was startled by Lu Yiran’s sudden cry. She quickly got up to help Lu Yiran, asking if she had hurt herself anywhere.

Still shaken, Lu Yiran sat on the edge of the bed and said to Wen Shiyan, “I’m fine, but why were you staring at me?”

“I’m sorry, I didn’t mean to…” Wen Shiyan hadn’t realized she would scare Lu Yiran. Lu Yiran had only asked casually. Seeing Wen Shiyan apologize to her, Lu Yiran quickly said, “I’m not mad at you. Just don’t peek at me next time. You can look openly, can’t you?”

As Lu Yiran spoke, her fingertip brushed Wen Shiyan’s arm.

Wen Shiyan looked away, her face slightly red, and quietly replied, “Mm.”

Lu Yiran sat on the bed, swinging her legs, and couldn’t help but say to Wen Shiyan, “Time has been passing so quickly lately that it makes me feel like this world is a little unreal.”

“Maybe it’s because we’ve been together every day, so it feels a little fast. Aren’t we going out with Chen Ziyun later? We’ll go once this period of time is over.”

Wen Shiyan casually changed the subject. As expected, Lu Yiran stopped talking about the passage of time when Chen Ziyun was mentioned.

Lu Yiran got out of bed to wash up. Wen Shiyan watched Lu Yiran’s retreating figure, deep in thought. Even Lu Yiran could sense it. It seems something is really going to happen…

The characters were done filming, and the movie shoot was over. The three months Wen Shiyan had spent in this world felt as if someone had deliberately fast-forwarded the clock, but she still hadn’t figured out Lu Yiran’s purpose in writing this script.

After the movie wrapped, reporters came to the set for interviews and a live broadcast.

A reporter asked Wen Shiyan, “Wen Shiyan, your fans online are against you being with Lu Yiran. What are your thoughts on this?”

“I…” Before Wen Shiyan could finish, Lu Yiran came to her side, grabbed her arm, and kissed her. Releasing Wen Shiyan’s arm, Lu Yiran smiled at the camera.

“I’m taking Wen Shiyan. From now on, she belongs to me.”

The comment section of the live stream was filled with question marks and exclamation points. The reporter was clearly caught off guard by Lu Yiran’s audacity, freezing in place with the microphone raised when she saw Lu Yiran kiss Wen Shiyan.

Wen Shiyan held Lu Yiran’s hand and gave a radiant smile to the camera, saying, “Everyone, there’s no need to focus too much on my private life. Even if I am with my lover, I will continue to be the same as before and will not let down your expectations of me.”

The day the film shoot ended happened to be Lu Yiran’s birthday. The two didn’t tell anyone else and returned home.

Upon arriving home, Lu Yiran looked at the large bed and missed it, throwing herself onto it.

“Home is the best,” Lu Yiran said to Wen Shiyan, rubbing her face against the soft quilt.

After speaking, she secretly glanced at Wen Shiyan. It was her birthday today, and Wen Shiyan hadn’t remembered it. Lu Yiran sulked on the bed.

Wen Shiyan came over to Lu Yiran and said to her, “Yiran, let’s stay home for the next few days. Don’t go on a long trip yet.” Although she knew Lu Yiran would be unhappy, she still said it.

Lu Yiran was already a little upset. Hearing Wen Shiyan’s words, she got angry. “Why? Didn’t we agree?”

“Forget it. If you don’t want to go, I’ll go by myself.” After saying this, Lu Yiran went into the study and locked the door.

【Why don’t you let her go?】

Wen Shiyan didn’t answer the system. She took out the present she had originally hidden for Lu Yiran.

She had planned to give the gift to Lu Yiran, but giving it to her now was clearly not appropriate.

Lu Yiran stayed in the study for a while and then regretted losing her temper with Wen Shiyan. Wen Shiyan usually met her every request, but this time she unexpectedly went back on her word. Lu Yiran couldn’t think of any reason why. However, Lu Yiran believed Wen Shiyan must have her reasons for doing so…

Having finished cooking, Wen Shiyan put some food into a small bowl for Lu Yiran and brought the dishes to the study door. “Yiran, come out and eat.”

Lu Yiran softly opened the door, peeking out with her head.

With Lu Yiran’s permission, Wen Shiyan carried the dishes into the study and said to Lu Yiran, “It’s my fault. I already promised you that I’d accompany you on a trip after the movie finished. I’ll buy the tickets tonight, and we’ll leave tomorrow.”

“Really?” Lu Yiran hadn’t been on a long trip for a long time. Hearing Wen Shiyan say this, she decided not to be angry for now.

“Really. And, happy birthday. I didn’t forget your birthday. I was planning to give you the gift tonight.” Wen Shiyan said, handing the gift to Lu Yiran.

Seeing Lu Yiran’s happy look after receiving the gift, Wen Shiyan felt deeply guilty. She had wanted to restrict Lu Yiran from going out simply because of fear. If what Qin Mo had told her was true, then Qin Mo would make a move against them no matter where they were. Since that was the case, she might as well stay by Lu Yiran’s side and protect her safety.

“Thank you, Wen Shiyan! I love it!” Lu Yiran said, hugging Wen Shiyan. Wen Shiyan stumbled back and sat on the bed.

Lu Yiran hugged Wen Shiyan for a while and then got off her. Wen Shiyan placed a weighing scale in front of Lu Yiran. Seeing the scale, Lu Yiran looked at Wen Shiyan, confused.

“You haven’t weighed yourself in a long time, have you? Step on it and let me see how much you weigh now.”

“Huh? No.” Lu Yiran said, trying to run away, but before she could leave the study, Wen Shiyan picked her up and placed her on the scale.

Wen Shiyan looked at the number displayed on the scale and nodded in satisfaction. “Not bad. You’re finally not as light as before.”

“Hmph!” Lu Yiran put down the gift, sat at the table, and began to eat. Midway through, she looked up and asked Wen Shiyan, “Aren’t you eating?”

Wen Shiyan shook her head and said to Lu Yiran, “No, I’ve already eaten.”

As Lu Yiran ate, Wen Shiyan watched her quietly from the side.

In the evening, Lu Yiran received a call from her mothers. Wen Shiyan instinctively wanted to excuse herself, but Lu Yiran held her hand.

“Mm-hmm, she’s doing great. Don’t worry.”

“We’re going on a trip together soon. Thank you for the gift, Mom. I’ll bring her home in a few days to pick it up.”

“Okay, it’s getting late. Moms, you should rest soon.”

After hanging up the phone, Lu Yiran leaned her head on Wen Shiyan’s shoulder.

The two were on the balcony. Looking at the starry sky, Lu Yiran reached out, trying to grab a star. Her hand grasped nothing. She clenched her fist and said to Wen Shiyan, “Wen Shiyan, what if this world is fake, what should we do?”

Wen Shiyan didn’t know how to answer. The world was indeed fake, but the people around them were all vividly real.

Lu Yiran didn’t get an answer from Wen Shiyan, but her question was indeed too strange for anyone to know how to answer. She leaned on the balcony railing and chuckled to herself, “What nonsense am I talking about, haha.”

She said, wiping the tears from the corners of her eyes. “Alright, no more strange talk. Tomorrow, let’s go find Chen Ziyun and give her a surprise.”

When Chen Ziyun wished her a happy birthday yesterday, she hadn’t told her they were coming to see her tomorrow. Chen Ziyun would definitely be very surprised when she saw her tomorrow.

Lu Yiran didn’t order a cake on her birthday; she planned to order one after they met Chen Ziyun.

After Lu Yiran spoke, Wen Shiyan said, “Yiran, even if this world really is fake, the love you receive from your family and friends around you is real.”

Seeing Wen Shiyan answer her so seriously, Lu Yiran was a little speechless.

Wen Shiyan stroked Lu Yiran’s head and said to her, “Alright, go to sleep. Don’t overthink things.”

After accompanying Lu Yiran to sleep, Wen Shiyan heard the system speak.

【You said a little too much just now.】

Wen Shiyan closed her eyes and replied carelessly, “Did I?” After Wen Shiyan spoke, she didn’t hear the system’s voice again.

As expected, the system that had been with her had been replaced without her noticing earlier.

The words she had just spoken to Lu Yiran were deliberate. If it had been the original system, it wouldn’t have spoken to her like that after hearing what she said. As for who this current “system” was, Wen Shiyan had a rough guess.

Arriving at the island, under the sun, Lu Yiran stepped onto the beach, holding up her skirt, kicking the seawater, and smiling at Wen Shiyan.

Seeing Lu Yiran like this, Wen Shiyan was also very happy. She put a hat on Lu Yiran’s head and said to her, “Slow down.”

Chen Ziyun had been informed that Lu Yiran and the others had arrived on the island. Seeing Lu Yiran and Wen Shiyan on the beach, Chen Ziyun ran over and patted Lu Yiran’s shoulder. “Lu Yiran? You actually came! Why didn’t you tell me? The guard uncle told me you had arrived.”

“It was to give you a surprise,” Lu Yiran said, hugging the long-unseen Chen Ziyun.

Hugging Lu Yiran, Chen Ziyun said to her, “It certainly is a surprise. You came the day after your birthday. Did you eat cake yesterday?”

“No, I planned to eat it with you guys after arriving.”

Hearing Lu Yiran’s words, Chen Ziyun ordered a cake for her.

Following Chen Ziyun to a hotel that wasn’t very big, Chen Ziyun let Lu Yiran and the others choose their own rooms.

“Are you going to stay separately or together?” Seeing that Lu Yiran and Wen Shiyan didn’t answer, Chen Ziyun suddenly remembered that they were already together. She said to them, “Ah, I forgot you two are a couple. One room it is then.” Chen Ziyun said, handing the room card to Lu Yiran. As she passed Lu Yiran on her way back to her own room, she patted Lu Yiran’s shoulder and couldn’t help but laugh out loud.

“I have a surprise for you too. You’ll find out later.”

After Chen Ziyun finished speaking, she quickly returned to her own room. Lu Yiran and Wen Shiyan looked at the room card, utterly confused.

Lu Yiran had previously told Wen Shiyan that Xiao Yu was also traveling with Chen Ziyun, and Xiao Yu had told Wen Shiyan herself later, but they hadn’t seen Xiao Yu just now.
