The Film Empress White Moonlight Wants To Be A Salted Fish - Chapter 69

After being notified that she could see Wen Shiyan, Lu Yiran happily jumped out of bed and rushed to Wen Shiyan’s room.

Looking at the door of the room, Lu Yiran’s heart was beating fast with nervousness. She took a deep breath to calm herself down, then pushed open the door.

As the doctor and everyone had said, Wen Shiyan was doing well, which Lu Yiran could also sense. She felt a burden lift, and couldn’t help but cry tears of joy. Wen Shiyan lay quietly on the hospital bed. Lu Yiran came to her side, sat on a chair, and held her hand.

As if feeling Lu Yiran’s arrival, Wen Shiyan’s eyelashes fluttered a few times. When Lu Yiran saw this, she quickly called Wen Shiyan’s name.

“Wen Shiyan, I’m here. Can you wake up and look at me?”

Wen Shiyan did not respond. Lu Yiran looked at a place next to her where there was nothing.

Lu Yiran’s expression turned slightly cold. She snorted and said to that spot, “I know you’re there. Come out.”

“System” trembled all over upon hearing this and looked at Lu Yiran in disbelief. However, It didn’t rush out. It still didn’t believe that Lu Yiran had suddenly remembered everything and could even see It. It continued to pretend to be oblivious and didn’t appear.

Seeing that “System” didn’t speak, Lu Yiran continued, “I don’t know when you replaced A-Ju, or System 190, but since you didn’t keep our agreement and even hurt her, then I don’t need to abide by that broken rule anymore.”

After Lu Yiran spoke, Wen Shiyan’s fingers moved and she slowly opened her eyes. Lu Yiran was ecstatic when she saw this and quickly called the doctor.

The doctor left after checking that Wen Shiyan was fine.

Lu Yiran lay on Wen Shiyan’s bedside, crying profusely, her shoulders trembling. Her voice was slightly hoarse as she said to Wen Shiyan, “Sister, you finally woke up…”

Having just woken up, Wen Shiyan found it difficult to speak. She pointed to Lu Yiran’s hand. Lu Yiran instantly understood her meaning and placed her hand next to Wen Shiyan’s.

Wen Shiyan’s fingertip hooked Lu Yiran’s pinky finger. Their hands were pressed together. Lu Yiran wanted to get closer to Wen Shiyan, but she was afraid of touching her wound.

Sensing Lu Yiran’s concern, Wen Shiyan actively stretched out her arm. Without hesitation, Lu Yiran gently threw herself into Wen Shiyan’s embrace.

Wen Shiyan didn’t feel much pain from the wound. Seeing that Lu Yiran was safe and sound, her happiness made her forget the pain. “Yiran…” she softly called Lu Yiran’s name.

Lu Yiran sniffed, raised her head to look at Wen Shiyan, and asked, “Wen Shiyan, are you uncomfortable anywhere else?”

“No, I just wanted to call Yiran’s name,” Wen Shiyan said, and Lu Yiran broke into a smile through her tears. She let go of Wen Shiyan, stood up, and said to her, “Is there anything you want to say to me?”

Wen Shiyan deliberately pretended to think about what to say. Lu Yiran saw this and anxiously squatted down, playfully poking Wen Shiyan’s arm. Wen Shiyan smiled and said, “Welcome home, Yiran.”

Lu Yiran stopped her hand and said somewhat shyly to Wen Shiyan, “Mm, I’m back.”

After speaking, the two exchanged a knowing smile.

In the days that followed, Lu Yiran constantly cared about what Wen Shiyan wanted to eat.

“Wen Shiyan, do you want an apple?”

“Wen Shiyan, do you want a strawberry?”

“Wen Shiyan…”

Wen Shiyan interrupted Lu Yiran, unable to help but ask her, “Why doesn’t Yiran keep calling me ‘Jiejie’ (older sister)?”

“Ah?” Lu Yiran was stunned, then she quickly reacted, blushing, and said, “I’m this old, calling you that is really childish, okay?”

“Is that so…” Wen Shiyan looked a little disappointed. Her Yiran used to follow her around calling her ‘Jiejie’…

That night, Wen Shiyan was still very surprised to learn that Lu Yiran had remembered everything. She thought that Lu Yiran remembering things once or twice before was just a coincidence, but she never expected it wasn’t. She couldn’t help but ask Lu Yiran, “So you really remembered again?”

Lu Yiran nodded, sucking on a lollipop. “Yeah, why did you suddenly ask?” Lu Yiran was confused. She didn’t understand why Wen Shiyan would ask this, as Wen Shiyan had remembered long before her. If anyone should be asking, it should be her asking Wen Shiyan.

Wen Shiyan heard Lu Yiran’s words and thought, this is probably Lu Yiran’s ability as the protagonist of this world.

Days passed, and ever since waking up, Wen Shiyan always felt that something was strange.

No one had bothered them these days, and Weibo was quiet, as if nothing had happened. If something this major had happened before, her Weibo feed would have been full of content about her.

Wen Shiyan pointed to a Weibo post and asked Lu Yiran, who was peeling an apple next to her, “Yiran, what’s going on with this?”

It was very strange. Combined with the comments under the Weibo post, the video of her and Lu Yiran being attacked by Qin Mo seemed to have changed in the eyes of others.

Lu Yiran knew that some things would have to be said sooner or later. She cleared her throat and said to Wen Shiyan, “Let’s talk about this later. I have something to confess to you first.”

Seeing Lu Yiran speaking so seriously, Wen Shiyan sat up and asked, “Oh? What is it?”

“Actually, I had an agreement with It, but I was deceived…”

“It promised me one thing: if the matter was successful, It would never interfere with this world again. It also said It wouldn’t intervene in this situation, but when I was about to remember everything, It couldn’t hold back and started making Qin Mo act.”

Lu Yiran told Wen Shiyan the important parts, cutting out the beginning and end of what she wanted to say. However, if she really hadn’t remembered her memories related to Wen Shiyan, there would have been a price, and that price was trading her life for Wen Shiyan’s life. But Lu Yiran felt there was no need to say these words; this matter only needed to be known by her alone.

Wen Shiyan frowned after hearing this. So it wasn’t a coincidence that Lu Yiran and she could remember everything that happened between them…

Lu Yiran used to think that the “System” was a god-like existence in this world, but she forgot that she, Lu Yiran, was the center of this world. If the “System” was powerful enough, It wouldn’t have made an agreement with her. Furthermore, she hadn’t expected the “System’s” target to be Wen Shiyan. She had been careless…

After Lu Yiran spoke, she saw the “System” appear again.

There were some things Lu Yiran didn’t want Wen Shiyan to know yet. She made an excuse that she had something to do, took the apple and the fruit knife, and left the room.

Lu Yiran found an empty spot and sat down, sneering at the System in front of her. “I didn’t want to do this originally, but you actually tried to kill her.” Lu Yiran said, holding the fruit knife, and sat on the chair.

Lu Yiran crossed her legs, stuck the fruit knife into the apple, and looked coldly at the System, asking, “Where’s Qin Mo? Weren’t you two in cahoots? Why doesn’t she dare to come out?”

The “System” did not dare to speak after hearing this. Qin Mo had abandoned It and ran off somewhere long ago.

Lu Yiran stood up and paced in the corridor, then suddenly said to the “System”, “Oh, let me guess. Did she run away or die?”

The “System” was furious upon hearing this. It sneered and said to Lu Yiran, “Heh, Lu Yiran, don’t get too smug. As long as I’m here for one day, I won’t let you have your wish. You must live your life according to my arrangements, and you can only follow my arrangements, you cannot defy me!”

Hearing the System’s words, Lu Yiran bent down and laughed. “Hahahaha, what a joke.” This was the funniest thing Lu Yiran had heard all year. Seeing Lu Yiran laughing, the “System” became even angrier. After laughing enough, Lu Yiran straightened up and wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes.

“Your words actually reminded me. It seems you need to disappear forever.” When Lu Yiran finished speaking, the “System” gradually felt the space around It begin to shrink.

The “System” originally didn’t believe Lu Yiran would do anything to It, but when It felt It was about to disappear from this world, It started to panic. “What are you doing! No, don’t! Lu Yiran! I created this world!”

“Sigh,” Lu Yiran sighed, stood up from the chair, and said to the “System”, “Human? Sorry, you don’t deserve to be a human.”

If the “System” hadn’t appeared, she and Wen Shiyan wouldn’t have been separated and wasted so much time.

“You… Lu Yiran! Don’t forget! She got hurt because of you!”

It wasn’t until she couldn’t hear the “System’s” voice that Lu Yiran understood that the “System” had truly disappeared this time. Her ears were finally quiet. Lu Yiran let out a long sigh. Everything was over.

Sensing someone standing in front of her, Lu Yiran looked up and saw Wen Shiyan, who had come to find her. Wen Shiyan held out her hand, and Lu Yiran smiled and placed her hand in Wen Shiyan’s palm.

After Wen Shiyan was discharged from the hospital, she returned home with Lu Yiran. Nothing in the house had changed. Others wanted to visit Wen Shiyan, but since Wen Shiyan still needed to recuperate, Lu Yiran politely declined.

Lu Yiran lay next to Wen Shiyan. Wen Shiyan gently stroked Lu Yiran’s head and said, “After this period of time, let’s invite Shuyao and everyone over for dinner. They were busy helping with other things while I was in the hospital, and they must be tired.”

“Mm, okay,” Lu Yiran said, and then heard Wen Shiyan say to her, “Then, Yiran, you can tell me what you wanted to say to me earlier.”

Lu Yiran froze for a moment, wanting to gloss over the matter, but Wen Shiyan held her tightly in her arms. Lu Yiran tried to break free, but as soon as she moved, she heard Wen Shiyan’s muffled groan behind her. This time, Lu Yiran didn’t dare to move again. She turned around worriedly to look at Wen Shiyan.

Lu Yiran gently stroked Wen Shiyan’s abdomen with her hand, looking at her with concern, and asked, “Did I touch something? Do we need to go to the hospital to check?”

Wen Shiyan hugged Lu Yiran tightly and said to her, “It’s fine, it doesn’t hurt. Yiran, tell me what’s going on, or is there something Yiran is hiding from me?”

Lu Yiran quickly lowered her head upon hearing this, not letting Wen Shiyan see her expression. She said in a flustered tone to Wen Shiyan, “N-no, how could I hide anything from Jiejie?”

Wen Shiyan smiled when she heard Lu Yiran’s term of address for her. Lu Yiran calling her ‘Jiejie’ meant one of two things, and one of them was being guilty because she had done something “bad.”

“A dishonest child must be punished.” Seeing Lu Yiran’s conflicted look, Wen Shiyan got out of bed.

Seeing Wen Shiyan about to leave, Lu Yiran quickly grabbed her shirt corner and asked, “Where are you going?”

“To the study. Let’s sleep separately for a few days.” Wen Shiyan finished speaking and left the bedroom.

Lu Yiran heard the study door close. She hugged her knees, feeling sad, and sat on the bed, burying her head deeply in her arms.

Wen Shiyan was going to punish her by not sleeping with her…

But tomorrow was their ninth anniversary. Was Wen Shiyan really ignoring her?

Finally, Lu Yiran grabbed a pillow and knocked on the study door.

Inside the door, Wen Shiyan sighed, put down her book, and got out of bed to open the door for Lu Yiran. Seeing Lu Yiran with red, teary eyes outside the door, Wen Shiyan was stunned.

Seeing Wen Shiyan, Lu Yiran started crying. She wiped her tears and asked Wen Shiyan, “Did you forget what day tomorrow is?”

Wen Shiyan was flustered and grabbed a tissue to help Lu Yiran wipe her face. “How could I forget… Tomorrow is a very important day.”

Wen Shiyan wiped Lu Yiran’s face and then hugged her. Forget it. If Lu Yiran didn’t want to tell her, then so be it. She would know everything once she asked 190 later.

After Wen Shiyan invited her into the room, Lu Yiran followed behind her. The plan was a success! Sure enough, Wen Shiyan couldn’t stand to see her cry.

Wen Shiyan made the bed and was about to call Lu Yiran when she turned around and saw Lu Yiran secretly smiling. Caught in the act by Wen Shiyan, Lu Yiran awkwardly smiled at her.

Wen Shiyan hadn’t expected Lu Yiran to be faking her tears. Well, she usually couldn’t bear to see Lu Yiran cry. But Lu Yiran’s acting skills had surprisingly improved so much now.

“So Yiran worked this hard just to see me?” Wen Shiyan said, walking towards Lu Yiran. Lu Yiran couldn’t help but take a few steps back.

“I… I was genuinely angry, and those tears weren’t fake either…”

Lu Yiran looked at Wen Shiyan nervously as she spoke. After she finished, Wen Shiyan bent down slightly and whispered in her ear, “Yiran likes to cry, doesn’t she? Don’t worry, tonight I’ll make Yiran cry enough…”

In the middle of the night, Wen Shiyan was already asleep. Lu Yiran got up and almost fell to the ground because her legs were weak. She gasped and quickly covered her mouth, looking over at Wen Shiyan. Seeing that Wen Shiyan hadn’t woken up, she let out a sigh of relief. Wen Shiyan had finally fallen asleep; she couldn’t wake her up…

After finding her phone, Lu Yiran posted a Weibo message. After confirming that the content of the post was correct, she quietly returned to Wen Shiyan’s arms and closed her eyes.

Lu Yiran v: Happy Ninth Anniversary, my dear girlfriend ~ @WenShiyan

What? Been together for nine years! Is that for real?

I don’t believe it! How have you been together for nine years?

When exactly did you two get together?! You’ve been together for so long without telling us!

You’ve been together for nine years, and she’s still just your girlfriend?

Get married! Get married!

My OTP is actually real!!!

Lu Yiran fell into deep thought after seeing this comment. She realized she had never considered what they should do next. When she and Wen Shiyan were together before, she felt that whether they married or not didn’t matter she was definitely going to be with Wen Shiyan forever. But now, seeing this comment, she had a new idea.
