The Film Empress White Moonlight Wants To Be A Salted Fish - Chapter 66

Chen Ziyun silently put down her utensils and said to the people in front of her, “I’m full, I’m going back to take a nap now.”

“Oh, okay, we’ll be back later,” Lu Yiran said. After Chen Ziyun left the restaurant, Xiao Yu, who was also finished eating, talked with Wen Shiyan and Lu Yiran about going to the beach and then left as well.

Wen Shiyan asked Lu Yiran, who was eating cake, “Want to go play later?”

Lu Yiran had originally planned to go to the beach; if Wen Shiyan hadn’t interrupted her, she would have already… Lu Yiran nodded and said to Wen Shiyan, “Of course.”

The two went to the beach together. Although the sun was still blazing, Wen Shiyan still accompanied Lu Yiran into the water. Lu Yiran bent down, cupped the water in her hands, and laughed as she splashed it onto Wen Shiyan. Seeing her clothes were already soaked, Wen Shiyan symbolically splashed some water back at Lu Yiran.

When Lu Yiran got tired of playing, Wen Shiyan went back to the hotel with her.

Lying on the bed, Wen Shiyan said to Lu Yiran, who was snuggled in her arms, “Let’s go to the beach again after the sun sets. Let’s sleep now.”

Surrounded by the familiar scent, Lu Yiran quickly fell asleep.

“Yiran, wake up… Yiran…”

Lu Yiran opened her eyes and looked at Wen Shiyan, who was calling her. Wen Shiyan looked somewhat different. Lu Yiran felt a little strange and pinched her cheek.

The sensation in her hand told Lu Yiran that the Wen Shiyan in front of her was real.

Wen Shiyan leaned down, touched Lu Yiran’s forehead, and said to her, “What’s wrong, Yiran? You slept and don’t recognize me?”

After Wen Shiyan said that, she muttered to herself, “She doesn’t have a fever…”

Lu Yiran asked Wen Shiyan, “Wen Shiyan, how old are you now?”

Hearing Lu Yiran’s question, Wen Shiyan froze for a moment and then laughed, “You really are sleepy and confused.”

She straightened up and pulled open the curtains in Lu Yiran’s room. Sunlight streamed in and shone on the bed. Lu Yiran squinted and slightly shielded her eyes from the light.

Wen Shiyan came and sat next to Lu Yiran, smoothing her messy hair. “Didn’t I just have my 19th birthday yesterday? Yiran, did you forget so quickly?”

When Wen Shiyan finished speaking, Lu Yiran hurriedly got out of bed and rushed to the mirror. She touched her face in disbelief and then looked at Wen Shiyan.

19-year-old Wen Shiyan and 14 year old her…

How was this possible! Why did she have these memories!

She clearly had no contact with Wen Shiyan before she was 19…

No, it must be a dream. Staring into the mirror, Lu Yiran walked straight into it.

“Ouch!” Lu Yiran clutched her forehead, the pain bringing tears to her eyes. Seeing Lu Yiran suddenly act so foolishly, Wen Shiyan worriedly helped her up and checked the spot where she hit.

“Yiran, what’s wrong? You just accidentally kissed me yesterday. No need to react like this.”

“What?!” Lu Yiran looked at Wen Shiyan in shock. She wasn’t dreaming, and she even kissed Wen Shiyan yesterday?

However, thinking about how this world was already a bit abnormal, Lu Yiran felt relieved.

Wen Shiyan thought Lu Yiran had forgotten what happened yesterday. She pushed Lu Yiran out of the room from behind and led her downstairs.

“It’s time to eat. Did you forget? You have to go out with me today.” After Wen Shiyan said that, Lu Yiran washed up and sat down at the dining table.

She didn’t know what Wen Shiyan was talking about, but luckily, Wen Shiyan thought she had forgotten yesterday’s events and repeated what she had said then.

Watching the two of them chatting and laughing, Lu Chiqiu said from the side, “Ranran is so big but still hasn’t learned to wake up by herself. When Xiao Shi goes to school later, who will come to wake you up every morning?”

Lu Yiran looked at Wen Shiyan. Did Wen Shiyan come to her house every day?

Before going out, Wen Shiyan said she needed to go home first, and Lu Yiran realized that Wen Shiyan’s house was right next door to hers.

“Yiran, wait for me here, I’ll be right out,” Wen Shiyan said and left.

Lu Yiran looked up at the sky. So, which was real, the 24 year old her or the 14 year old her?

Lu Yiran shook her head. She was just playing with Wen Shiyan at the beach, so she must be dreaming now.

Lu Yiran waited for a long time but didn’t see Wen Shiyan come out of the house. Seeing the front door of Wen Shiyan’s house open, Lu Yiran stepped inside.

“Excuse me…” Lu Yiran whispered as she entered the house.

Upon entering, Lu Yiran saw the furniture covered with white sheets. She had a bad feeling.

Lu Yiran ran upstairs and accurately found Wen Shiyan’s bedroom. She opened the bedroom door and called out, “Wen Shiyan!”

The only response Lu Yiran received was the rustling sound of leaves as the wind blew through the trees outside the window.

Lu Yiran searched for Wen Shiyan in the large house. Finally, she grew cold all over and collapsed, trembling, to the floor.

No one, how could there be no one… She just watched Wen Shiyan walk into this house…

Lu Chiqiu, who hadn’t been able to reach Lu Yiran by phone, found Lu Yiran listless and distraught in the empty house next door. She stepped forward, helped Lu Yiran up, and asked worriedly, “Ranran? What are you doing here?!”

Lu Yiran lowered her head, covered her face, and cried to Lu Chiqiu, “Mom… I can’t find her. She suddenly disappeared. No matter how hard I search, I can’t find her…”

Lu Chiqiu looked at the continuously vacant house next door, feeling a bit horrified. She helped Lu Yiran out of the house.

Bringing Lu Yiran back home, Lu Chiqiu sat beside her, embraced her, and said, “Ranran, who are you looking for? Tell Mom, and I’ll help you find her.”

Lu Yiran sobbed and said, “Wen Shiyan… she lives right next door to us…”

She didn’t know why, but even though it was just a dream, she couldn’t stop crying.

“Ranran, you must be mistaken. We don’t even know this neighbor named Wen Shiyan…”

“Yiran, wake up, aren’t we going out? It’s not too sunny outside anymore.”

Hearing Wen Shiyan’s voice, Lu Yiran’s tears streamed out, soaking the pillow. She slowly opened her eyes and saw Wen Shiyan.

The moment she saw Wen Shiyan, she fiercely hugged her.

Wen Shiyan hugged Lu Yiran, gently patting her back, and asked, “Why are you crying? Did you have a nightmare?”

Lu Yiran buried her head in Wen Shiyan’s clothes. “I dreamt you disappeared. I couldn’t find you no matter how hard I searched. I asked a lot of people, but none of them remembered you, as if you had never existed…”

Wen Shiyan’s hand paused. She softly comforted Lu Yiran, saying, “It was just a dream. I won’t let Yiran not find me.”

Lu Yiran wiped away her tears, pulled away from Wen Shiyan’s embrace, and asked choked up, “Really?”

Wen Shiyan kissed Lu Yiran’s forehead and said to her, “Really, we will always be together.”

It was already night outside the window. The two held hands and went to the beach. The wind blew past, and their noses were filled with the moist smell of the sea.

Wen Shiyan didn’t know why Lu Yiran had such a dream. She couldn’t help but look up at Lu Yiran’s profile. Had Lu Yiran remembered something?

Lu Yiran recalled her dream. She was actually with Wen Shiyan now, but could it really last forever? Wouldn’t it turn into an illusory joy again?

Lu Yiran looked towards the distant tall tree. As she looked up, she met the gaze of “Qin Mo” next to the tree. Qin Mo smiled at her. Lu Yiran bit her lip, her face pale. She grabbed Wen Shiyan’s sleeve and whimpered.

“Wen Shiyan…”

Hearing Lu Yiran’s voice, Wen Shiyan snapped out of her thoughts and quickly looked over at Lu Yiran. She saw Lu Yiran pointing at a spot in the distance with a look of terror.

“Wen Shiyan… There, there’s someone… who looks like Qin Mo…”

Before Wen Shiyan could clearly see the place Lu Yiran was pointing at, Lu Yiran grabbed her arm.

“Wen Shiyan, let’s go, let’s leave now, it’s terrifying… I don’t want to stay here anymore…”

Wen Shiyan could feel Lu Yiran, who was holding her, trembling all over. She didn’t have time to wonder if the Qin Mo Lu Yiran saw was real or not and returned to the hotel with Lu Yiran.

Entering the hotel, Lu Yiran saw Chen Ziyun and ran up to her, grabbing her hand and saying, “It’s not safe here… Trust me, Chen Ziyun, hurry and leave with us.”

Chen Ziyun was about to say that there were bodyguards on the island, but seeing Lu Yiran so panicked, she looked at Xiao Yu and wanted to go pack her luggage.

If they left for the airport now, they probably wouldn’t arrive until early morning. Xiao Yu checked the time and said to the others, “But it’s so late, there probably aren’t any flights.”

Lu Yiran exclaimed emotionally to Xiao Yu, “But…”

Wen Shiyan pressed down on the agitated Lu Yiran and said, “Calm down, Yiran. Are you sure you didn’t see it wrong?”

Lu Yiran squatted down, hugged her head, and whispered, “No, I saw her, it was her…”

Wen Shiyan squatted down and embraced Lu Yiran, saying, “Okay, let’s go back to the room first. We’ll leave here tomorrow morning.”

Standing up, Wen Shiyan helped Lu Yiran and apologized to Chen Ziyun and Xiao Yu, “I’m sorry, I scared you. You two should hurry and sleep. I’ll take her away tomorrow.”

Chen Ziyun was also a little scared by Lu Yiran. She tugged at Xiao Yu’s sleeve and whispered, “Let’s sleep together tonight. That person named Qin Mo feels really scary.”

Xiao Yu nodded and said to Chen Ziyun, “Mhm, I don’t think Lu Yiran is faking how scared she is. Looks like we should lock the doors and windows tight tonight.”

Helping Lu Yiran back to the room, Wen Shiyan turned on the light and locked the door with Lu Yiran.

Lu Yiran knew she probably looked like a lunatic right now. She sobbed and asked Wen Shiyan, “Wen Shiyan… do you believe what I said?”

“I believe you.” Wen Shiyan said, telling Lu Yiran to sit on the bed. She wanted to get a towel to help Lu Yiran apply a warm compress to her eyes, but just as she was about to go to the bathroom, Lu Yiran grabbed her hand.

Lu Yiran cried with red eyes to Wen Shiyan, “Wen Shiyan, don’t go, please, I’m so scared…”

In the end, it turned into a scene where Lu Yiran sat on a small stool in the bathroom, waiting for Wen Shiyan to wet the towel with hot water.

Wen Shiyan rolled up her sleeves, held the towel, and said to Lu Yiran, “Alright, go lie down on the bed.”

Placing the towel over Lu Yiran’s eyes, Wen Shiyan held Lu Yiran’s hand and sat by the bed.

She believed Lu Yiran’s words, after all, Qin Mo was not a normal person.
