Chapter 160 No, it’s time to call you Jian Yao

This amount seems a bit too little, but the pain in my waist is real.

She changed, washed up, and went out. Gu Zhiyan had already woken up and was leaning against the head of the bed making a phone call.

"You and Mom don't have to make a special trip to come here. She's not in good condition after her illness, and she'll be busy entertaining you if you come."

"Okay, I'll bring her back to see you."

After hanging up the phone, Gu Zhiyan lifted the quilt and looked at Jian Yao, waving at her, "Come here."

Jian Yao obediently walked over and sat down beside the bed, allowing Gu Zhiyan's warm palm to cover her forehead.

"Still a little hot."

He took the thermometer from the bedside table and took her temperature. He asked her softly, "What do you want to eat later?"

Jian Yao was shoved back into bed, the quilt wrapped around her whole body, leaving only her head. "You should eat some porridge."

Her body was like a furnace, and it felt like there was a fire in her whole body from the inside out. She drank porridge to replenish some water.

Gu Zhiyan picked up his phone, set an alarm and placed it next to her. "When the alarm rings, you can check the temperature on the thermometer. I'll go make porridge."

"Um."

Jian Yao was preoccupied with something and nodded nonchalantly.

After Gu Zhiyan closed the door and went out, she took out her mobile phone and searched: Will fever affect menstrual period?

"If the body temperature is high or the fever persists... the menstrual flow may increase or decrease..."

Jian Yao accurately captured the information he wanted from a long list of professional terms and principles, then heaved a sigh of relief and exited the search interface.

She was so scared that she thought she was pregnant.

After all, they never took any protective measures...

She was still a little hungry, and after a simple meal, she fell into sleep again in a daze.

In the next few days, Jian Yao lived a life of being a parasite with everything provided for her.

Gu Zhiyan directly moved his office location to the study room at home, and all meetings were changed to video conferences. However, Assistant Xu had to work hard to shuttle between Yaoguang and Gu Yuan every day to deliver documents.

Because of Gu Zhiyan's phone call, grandma and mom didn't come over after all. They just sent a lot of supplements and called every day.

She never had the nightmare she had that night again.

The only thing that bothered her these days was probably her menstrual period. Apart from a few drops of blood that day, there was nothing else after that.

Because of this, she was a little worried and sent a WeChat message to Xu Si to ask her, but she never responded.

Later I remembered that their love variety show was completely closed. Even their cell phones were confiscated. They could only use the cell phones issued by the program team, and communication was limited to the island.

Honestly speaking, if the program wasn't produced by Zheng Ziang's company, Jian Yao would have suspected that she had been sold out by some shell company or some shady program production team after not being able to contact her for such a long time.

Jian Yao threw her cell phone onto the bed, feeling that if she lay down on it any longer, mushrooms would grow all over her body.

Gu Zhiyan came in at the appointed time with a thermometer and sat down beside the bed. "Take the temperature."

Jian Yao: …

"My fever has gone away for two days. Is it still necessary to take my temperature?"

Gu Zhiyan smiled and rubbed her hair, his fingertips brushing across her cheek, "Today is the last time, if you don't burn it, it will be lifted tomorrow."

Jian Yao suddenly sat up from the bed and said, "Measure, measure, I love taking the temperature."

While waiting, Gu Zhiyan held Jian Yao's hand and played with it. Jian Yao hooked Gu Zhiyan's palm with her fingers.

"Come with me to visit my parents tomorrow."

Come to think of it, she and Gu Zhiyan got their marriage certificate quite a while ago, so they should have gone a long time ago.

However, they were barely a cooperative relationship at the beginning, and many things happened later, so it was delayed.

Gu Zhiyan paused while pinching her fingertips and teased softly, "Are you finally willing to take me to see my parents?"

This tone is full of resentment!

Jian Yao smiled at him and started to brag, "Of course I have to bring such a handsome husband back home to show my parents."

But in my heart, I was thinking that my parents were very dissatisfied with Lu Chengze and were very reluctant to do so.

Taking Gu Zhiyan to see them is not only to recognize them, but also to make them happy.

Gu Zhiyan didn't respond to her, but raised the corners of his lips.

He glanced at his watch and said, "It's time."

Jian Yao took out the thermometer and took a look at it, then handed it to him for inspection. "The fever is gone."

Gu Zhiyan took it, twirled it with his fingertips, and looked down at it carefully. "It will be lifted tomorrow."

…

Early the next morning, Gu Zhiyan drove himself to the cemetery on the outskirts of the city.

When I passed by a flower shop, I bought two bouquets of chrysanthemums.

The car stopped at the Wolong Cemetery parking lot, and Gu Zhiyan and Jian Yao got off one after another.

Jian Yao held the flowers, and Gu Zhiyan held her bag as they walked up the stairs.

Jian Yao stood in front of her parents' tombstone, squatted down and put down the flowers in her hand, "Dad, Mom, I'm here to see you."

She glanced sideways at Gu Zhiyan beside her and introduced him to her parents, "He is your son-in-law, Gu Zhiyan."

Gu Zhiyan bowed three times towards each of the two tombstones standing side by side, looking solemn, "Dad, Mom, I will definitely take good care of Jian Yao in the future, don't worry."

Jian Yao took out a towel she had prepared in advance from her bag and wiped the tombstone. She raised her eyebrows and looked at him, "You are quite used to calling mom and dad."

It was smoother than when she first called out when she returned to Jian's house.

Gu Zhiyan smiled and said nothing.

He had rehearsed it in his mind countless times on the way here, so of course he could shout it out fluently.

Jian Yao sat beside the tombstone, leaned against it and chatted with her parents for a few words, then followed Gu Zhiyan back.

The cemetery is built on a mountain, with a large concrete space at the entrance.

Jian Yao stood there, looking down.

There is only a small village and a large construction area at the foot of the mountain.

Jian Yao raised her chin towards the construction site and said, "That's the orphanage where I lived when I was a child."

During their lifetime, Jian's father and mother refused to accept the family's arrangement to transfer the family business to their offspring, and almost broke off relations with the Jian family. In order to control the parents, the Jian family said that the sons who inherited the Jian family would not be allowed to be buried in the ancestral tomb after their death.

In a fit of anger, the parents swore that they would never be buried in the Jian family's ancestral tomb, and even selected a cemetery before they died as a pledge of their determination.

Jian Yao still remembers her mother holding her hand and choosing this cemetery from a bunch of better ones.

"Your parents were not able to participate in your childhood. You will be buried here in the future. Take a closer look at the place where you used to live."

When she thinks back on these words now, she still feels sad.

Jian Yao tilted her head back slightly to suppress the tears in her eyes.

Gu Zhiyan put his arm around her shoulders and said gently, "Do you want to go over and take a look?"

Jian Yao nodded, "Okay."

The car drove down the winding mountain road and stopped at the gate of the orphanage.

The large iron gate, which had been rusted for many years, had been dismantled and thrown casually on the side of the road. A few words could still be vaguely seen on it: Fusheng Welfare Home.

After the old dean passed away, the former vice-dean became the new dean.

Dean Qin was talking to a few foremen. When he saw Gu Zhiyan and Jian Yao get out of the car, his eyes paused on Jian Yao's face for several seconds before he quickly walked over to them.

When he got closer, he rubbed his hands nervously and shouted in disbelief, "Bai Yao?"

After she shouted, her eyes turned red and she shook her head.

"No, now I should call you Jian Yao."
