Chapter 61 The Sick Person
Soon, there was a clanging noise and Lu Chang's shouting coming from the kitchen, and Jiang Jibai hurried over.
This young master must have never cooked before, and she was afraid that he would set her kitchen on fire.
As expected, the young master couldn't even turn on the gas stove.
Are you still cooking?
Jiang Jibai reached out and pinched the switch of the gas stove and turned it lightly. An orange-blue flame immediately jumped out and ignited a circle at the bottom of the pot.
"So that's how it is." Lu Chang smiled, "I'll take care of the rest."
He poured oil into the pot.
But there was still water in the pot, and the hot oil immediately started crackling when it came into contact with the water.
Lu Chang frowned and immediately stepped back.
Jiang Jibai glanced at his expensive shirt, which was now stained with oil where it was not protected by the apron.
Even if she sold everything in her kitchen, that shirt wouldn't be worth that much.
Jiang Jibai stopped her and said helplessly: "Let me do it."
She shooed them out of the kitchen. "Why don't you practice your cooking skills first before you use them? This time, I'll let you taste my cooking first."
Lu Chang didn't insist any more, "Then keep it simple. I like everything you cook."
After saying this, he took off his apron.
Seeing his actions, Jiang Jibai suddenly realized something. She suddenly remembered how Gu Moyang used to wear an apron and cook for her.
He could cook and had done it for her many times.
And he has very good craftsmanship.
He said that when he was living with his aunt and uncle, they often got off work very late, so he had to learn to cook for himself to feed himself and his younger brother.
In order not to give in to his stomach, he also developed some good skills.
When Jiang Jibai thought of him, he felt a little sad.
Lu Chang walked into the living room and took out his cell phone idly.
He glanced at the cat sleeping in the corner of the sofa, then quickly looked away with a hint of displeasure in his eyes.
He sat down at the very edge of the sofa, farthest from the cat, and before sitting down he patted off the cat hair with his hands.
Duandan seemed to know that the person in front of him didn't like him, and jumped away the moment Lu Chang sat down.
Lu Chang sneered.
After finishing the tasks at hand, Lu Chang relaxed and looked around.
Although it was not his first time here, he still liked the feeling of sitting here.
A sense of pleasure arises spontaneously.
With the attitude of a winner.
Everything here, including the people in the house, will be his from now on.
As he glanced around, he suddenly noticed a few boxes stacked on the cabinet against the wall in the hallway, with a glass of water next to them.
He remembered that there was no such thing the last few times he came.
Lu Chang stood up and walked to the closet.
He picked up the boxes and looked at them one by one.
The color of his eyes became darker and darker.
Fluoxetine, sertraline, escitalopram, as well as venlafaxine, duloxetine, and bupropion.
It is clearly written on each medicine that it is an antidepressant and a medication for treating traumatic mental illness.
The water was still placed next to it, and there was a medicine plate with a few pills missing, which showed that she had taken the medicine today.
Lu Chang frowned, with a deep frown between his eyebrows.
No wonder he felt like she had become a different person. Was she ill?
So they had been together for more than a month, and she had been hiding the fact that she had this kind of disease from him.
Lu Chang held the box tightly, his eyes growing darker.
"The food is ready, we can eat now." Jiang Jibai's voice came from the kitchen.
Lu Chang put the medicine box back to its original place.
A plate of scrambled eggs with tomatoes, stir-fried meat with shredded potatoes and a plate of stir-fried broccoli.
Although they are just a few simple home-cooked dishes, she put some thought into making them. I hope he will like them.
Jiang Jibai saw Lu Chang staring at the dishes on the table without saying a word. She thought he thought the dishes were too ordinary. "These are just a few simple dishes. I don't know how to make them too complicated. Don't mind."
Jiang Jibai took off her apron, pulled out a chair and sat down opposite him.
"Eat and try it." Seeing that Lu Chang didn't move his chopsticks, Jiang Jibai took the initiative to play the role of host and put some food into his bowl.
Lu Chang didn't move, he looked up at her coldly, "Are you hiding something from me?"
Seeing his cold gaze, Jiang Jibai's heart stagnated, and he thought of his illness almost reflexively.
Does he know?
But she couldn't bring herself to say it out loud.
She bit her lip and shook her head, "No."
Seeing that she was still trying to hide it from him, Lu Chang pursed his lips, "Not yet? Are you suffering from a mental illness?"
"Click!"
The chopsticks in Jiang Jibai's hand fell, one fell on the table, and the other lost balance and fell to the ground.
The wound was suddenly torn open and exposed to the sunlight. She widened her eyes and suddenly panicked.
His fingertips trembled violently. "How did you know?"
Lu Chang's face was solemn. "I saw the medicine on the closet. How long are you going to keep it a secret from me?"
She then remembered that she had been in a hurry to go out today and didn't know he would come over suddenly, so she forgot to put the medicine away.
Seeing the panic in her eyes, Lu Chang said, "If I hadn't seen it today, when were you going to tell me?"
"No." Jiang Jibai bit his lip. "I didn't mean to hide it from you."
She wanted to tell him, but she didn't know how to start.
After all, no one wants to be seen as a sick person in the eyes of others.
This is especially true for people who suffer from this type of disease. Telling others is equivalent to opening the wound again.
"Really, I didn't mean to hide it from you. I was just scared and in pain. I just didn't know how to start..."
As Jiang Jibai spoke, she began to lose control of her emotions. She shook her head desperately, her eyes turned red, and big tears dripped from her sockets.
Lu Chang softened his heart. He was just angry that she had hidden such a big thing from him. Now he was the most important person in Jiang Jibai's heart, and he didn't want her to have any secrets from him.
He stood up, walked over and hugged her, saying softly, "It's okay, I won't leave you, I will treat you well as always."
"I will love you even more after I know you are sick." Lu Chang lowered his head and gazed at her deeply. "Think about your condition. Who else but me would treat you so well?"
Jiang Jibai fell into great despair and panic. Darkness enveloped her and she instinctively wanted to grab something.
She sniffled and didn't push him away this time.
—
"Are you saying she has post-traumatic stress disorder?" Xie Kai looked at Lu Chang in shock.
"How could such a normal looking girl have such a disease?"
"This kind of disease is usually not detectable before it occurs. I went for a check-up and found that he had received psychological treatment two months ago." Lu Chang picked up the teacup and took a sip of tea.
Seeing how calm he was, Xie Kai scratched his chin. "How can you be so calm? She's mentally ill. Do you really want to be with her? This can't be hidden from your parents. They'll find out as soon as they investigate. How could they allow you to bring a woman like that home?"
Lu Chang didn't answer him. "Your family is in the medical business. Please help me find out if this disease can be cured."
Xie Kai: "Okay, I'll ask for you, but I advise you to give up on this idea. I heard that this type of disease is difficult to cure. I can only guarantee that she can live a normal life and not have a relapse."
Lu Chang stared at the cup of tea in front of him, not knowing what he was thinking.
Xie Kai scrolled through his phone and said, "I just asked my brother and he replied."
"He said that people with this disease are prone to anxiety, depression, self-doubt, blaming themselves for mistakes, being easily affected by bad emotions, feeling insecure, and being overly vigilant..."
Lu Chang curled the corners of his mouth.
It’s okay to be sick.
This way she can only belong to him and can never escape.
Xie Kai: "My brother asked me why I asked this all of a sudden, and whether someone around me has this disease?"
Lu Chang: "Don't tell him, please keep this a secret for me."
