The Film Empress White Moonlight Wants To Be A Salted Fish - Chapter 67
After applying the hot compress to her eyes, Wen Shiyan said to Lu Yiran, “Sleep, I’ll watch over you.”
But Lu Yiran didn’t dare to close her eyes. She leaned against Wen Shiyan, clutching her clothes, her body tense as she looked around the room.
Wen Shiyan sighed. She hoped Lu Yiran had genuinely been mistaken, otherwise, something bad might happen later.
Lu Yiran stayed awake all night, scared and on edge. Wen Shiyan didn’t say anything, simply stayed by her side. Early the next morning, Wen Shiyan and the others left the island.
Because she hadn’t slept due to fear the previous night, Lu Yiran slept next to Wen Shiyan the entire plane ride.
After getting off the plane, Xiao Yu instructed Wen Shiyan, “You don’t have much going on lately. Go back and spend more time with Lu Yiran.”
Wen Shiyan nodded and said to Xiao Yu, “Okay, Sister Xiao Yu, we’re leaving.”
After speaking, Wen Shiyan pulled her suitcase and led a groggy Lu Yiran into the car waiting for them.
In the car, Lu Chiqiu said to Wen Shiyan, “I didn’t expect you two to be back so soon.” She had thought they would stay and play there for at least a week.
To avoid worrying Lu Chiqiu and the others, Wen Shiyan didn’t tell them what had happened. She smiled and said to Lu Chiqiu, “We both feel more comfortable at home. We plan to play near the house after we get back.”
Arriving home, Lu Yiran woke up just in time. She didn’t go inside immediately. She was here to see if the house next door was the same as the one in her dream. She stood in front of the vacant house next to her own and looked at it quietly for a while.
Wen Shiyan followed behind Lu Yiran, hoping Lu Yiran would remember some things from the past, yet also afraid that Lu Yiran would remember so quickly…
Wen Shiyan came to Lu Yiran’s side and called her name softly. Lu Yiran looked at Wen Shiyan. Being looked at by Lu Yiran’s eyes made Wen Shiyan a little nervous, and she avoided Lu Yiran’s gaze.
Lu Yiran snorted inwardly. Sure enough, Wen Shiyan was hiding something from her.
Lu Yiran rattled the keys in her hand and said to Wen Shiyan, “Let’s go, let’s go home.”
Looking at Lu Yiran walking toward the car, Wen Shiyan asked in confusion, “Haven’t we already arrived home?”
Lu Yiran turned and smiled at Wen Shiyan, saying, “Silly, it’s our home together.”
Wen Shiyan followed Lu Yiran, took her hand, and smiled. “Mhm, let’s go home.”
【I think you need to act quickly. She must have sensed something is wrong. Once she remembers, we’re finished!】
Sitting on the bed, Qin Mo crossed her legs, propping herself up and slightly tilting her head as she looked at what Qin Xuan had written for her, replying indifferently to the System. “Is that so?”
She got up and walked to the desk, writing something on a piece of paper. The System couldn’t see the content she wrote. Qin Mo folded the paper and tucked it into a book.
“Goodbye, Qin Xuan.”
After returning home, Lu Yiran sat on the sofa, looking around. Home really was the best.
Lu Yiran turned her head and said to Wen Shiyan, who had gone into the bedroom, “Wen Shiyan, I don’t want to go out again after this. You shouldn’t go out either, okay?”
“Okay,” Wen Shiyan replied. Then she suddenly remembered that Lu Yiran still had a graduation ceremony to attend, and she herself also needed to go later. She said to Lu Yiran, “But you still have your graduation ceremony to attend, don’t you?”
Lu Yiran had momentarily forgotten about her upcoming graduation. The graduation ceremony was definitely something she couldn’t miss…
However, she had forgotten the starting time of the graduation ceremony. She casually asked Wen Shiyan, “When is the graduation ceremony?”
Wen Shiyan answered without thinking, “Next Friday, starting at nine in the morning.”
Lu Yiran felt a little confused and asked Wen Shiyan, “How do you know that?”
Wen Shiyan explained, “I heard it from someone else, and besides, I graduated from that school too.”
Hearing Wen Shiyan’s words, Lu Yiran believed her.
Fortunately, Lu Yiran didn’t press for more details. Wen Shiyan breathed a sigh of relief. Otherwise, she really wouldn’t know how to hide it from Lu Yiran.
Lu Yiran stayed home as she said she would, until the day before the graduation ceremony, when Chen Ziyun forcefully dragged her out to try on the outfit she would wear.
Chen Ziyun pulled Lu Yiran in front of a mirror, pointing at her reflection and saying, “Look at how you’ve become. If you don’t come out and see the sun, you’ll become moldy.”
After arriving at Lu Yiran’s house, she realized how pampered Lu Yiran’s life was staying home all day, looking at her phone or playing the piano when bored, and having a beauty to cook and keep her company.
Lu Yiran looked at herself in the mirror. It wasn’t as serious as Chen Ziyun made it sound; she was just a little paler than before.
Chen Ziyun picked up a dress, held it against Lu Yiran’s body, and said, “This is pretty, wear this one.”
Many of Lu Yiran’s clothes were picked out by Chen Ziyun, so she naturally trusted Chen Ziyun’s judgment.
Taking the dress, Lu Yiran went into the fitting room. As soon as Lu Yiran walked out after putting on the dress, Chen Ziyun quickly took photos.
Lu Yiran adjusted her collar and said to Chen Ziyun, “What are you doing? I’ve never seen you take pictures of me before.”
Chen Ziyun sent the photos to Wen Shiyan and received a thumbs-up from her.
Chen Ziyun put away her phone and said to Lu Yiran, “I just took them because you look so beautiful.”
After complimenting Lu Yiran, Chen Ziyun said to the clerk, “Please wrap this one up.”
Wen Shiyan had told Chen Ziyun not to let Lu Yiran go home too quickly after taking her out. Chen Ziyun asked Lu Yiran, “Want to buy a few more pieces?”
Lu Yiran shook her head and refused. “Let’s go home. I have a feeling someone is watching us outside.”
Hearing Lu Yiran’s words, Chen Ziyun’s heart skipped a beat. If she didn’t know Lu Yiran wasn’t sick and Wen Shiyan hadn’t warned her to be careful of people around them, she would definitely take Lu Yiran to the hospital.
Chen Ziyun looked around and then said to Lu Yiran, “Mhm, let’s go, let’s go.”
Seeing Lu Yiran and Chen Ziyun return so quickly, Wen Shiyan stepped forward and took the items they were holding.
Seeing Lu Yiran go to wash her hands, Wen Shiyan put the items down and quietly asked Chen Ziyun, “Why did you come back so soon?”
Chen Ziyun glanced at Lu Yiran’s location and also whispered to Wen Shiyan, “Lu Yiran said someone was watching us outside, so I quickly brought her back.”
Chen Ziyun still looked a little frightened after saying this.
Wen Shiyan breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, Chen Ziyun brought Lu Yiran back in time. Lu Yiran’s intuition was still very accurate; if Lu Yiran said so, then someone must indeed be watching them.
Suddenly, a phone call came in. Chen Ziyun was startled and looked at Wen Shiyan. Seeing that it was Xie Shuyao calling, Wen Shiyan answered the phone and put it on speaker.
Xie Shuyao’s voice came through the phone. Wen Shiyan anticipated something and stood a little farther away from the phone.
“Sis! Why didn’t you take me with you on your trip? I saw photos of you getting off the plane on Weibo!”
Lu Yiran, who had finished washing her hands, came out of the bathroom and heard Xie Shuyao’s voice. She walked to the phone and listened to what Xie Shuyao had said.
“Is that Shuyao? Chen Ziyun, how about we invite Shuyao over for dinner today?”
Hearing Lu Yiran’s words, Xie Shuyao quickly asked, “Is Chen Ziyun there too?”
Lu Yiran walked to the sofa, sat down, and said to Xie Shuyao, “Yes, she is. What’s wrong?”
“N-nothing. I’ll come over to see you now.” Xie Shuyao hung up the phone after saying this.
In a moment, Xie Shuyao arrived at Wen Shiyan and the others’ house. At this time, Wen Shiyan was cooking, and Lu Yiran opened the door for Xie Shuyao.
Xie Shuyao gave the gift she brought to Lu Yiran. Lu Yiran took the gift and said to Xie Shuyao, “Since you’re already here, why bring a gift?”
Xie Shuyao walked into Wen Shiyan and the others’ house and went straight to Chen Ziyun, saying, “Didn’t you tell me you were staying at home?”
Chen Ziyun, looking at her phone, heard Xie Shuyao’s words and replied, “Did I? I think I forgot.”
In the kitchen, Lu Yiran leaned against the wall, watching the show, as Wen Shiyan fed her some sliced beef.
Chen Ziyun saw Lu Yiran looking at her with an amused gaze. Chen Ziyun walked over to Lu Yiran and explained, “Don’t misunderstand, there is truly nothing between her and me.”
“Oh? Is that so? But I haven’t said anything yet,” Lu Yiran said, covering her mouth and looking at Chen Ziyun with a surprised look. Chen Ziyun didn’t want to explain further. She sighed and said to Lu Yiran, “It’s good that there’s no misunderstanding.”
During dinner, Chen Ziyun drank quite a bit of alcohol, and Xie Shuyao also had a few cups. Lu Yiran was already aware of her alcohol tolerance, so she didn’t drink this time.
Looking at the two who were full and lying on the table asleep, Wen Shiyan had no choice. She and Lu Yiran together first carried Chen Ziyun back to the guest bedroom.
Coming out of the guest bedroom, Lu Yiran was already tired. She sat on the sofa and looked at Xie Shuyao, who was still asleep on the table.
Lu Yiran asked Wen Shiyan, “Chen Ziyun probably doesn’t like sharing a bed with others. What should we do?”
There were enough rooms originally, but Wen Shiyan had only cleaned two.
Lu Yiran said to Wen Shiyan, “The sofa should be fine, right? I’ve tried it before, and it’s quite comfortable to sleep on.”
After Lu Yiran said this, Wen Shiyan did recall that Lu Yiran was particularly fond of lying on the sofa to do other things some time ago.
Since that was the case, she could only let Xie Shuyao sleep on the sofa and suffer for one night.
