The butler wanted to pretend to be confused at this time, but it was no use. He changed the subject slightly and was pulled back by Lin Xu for further questioning.

"He was not in a good mental state the whole day yesterday. He was very anxious and irritable. If I could know something, maybe I could help him." Lin Xuying's autumn-water eyes showed a worried look. Her eyes were wet and she said pitifully, "Don't worry, I will keep it a secret and won't tell anyone that you told me!"

The butler hesitated for a long time.

After all, he has worked in the Ji family for nine years. He has been hired to work here since the day Ji Tingyang took back the Ji family villa.

After watching the warm moments of the three brothers and sisters of the Ji family, only Ji Tingyang is left, living alone in the villa...

The housekeeper finally relented, "Actually... Young Master Ji has been taking antipsychotic drugs for two years."

Lin Xu was stunned.

I didn't expect this would be the answer.

"...Mental illness?" Schizophrenia suddenly popped into her mind.

"Don't worry, it's just a psychiatric drug to relieve anxiety, depression, and paranoid thoughts." The housekeeper saw her panic-stricken expression and knew that she was overthinking.

For a period of time, Ji Tingyang became anxious and even had some symptoms of depression. The housekeeper initially thought that he was under too much pressure at work.

Until one day, Ji Tingyang suddenly brought Wen Li back to the villa.

"You can live here from now on. Tell me if you need anything and I'll have someone bring it to you." He stroked Wen Li's cheek and spoke softly. He looked at her carefully, with a hint of paranoia in his eyes. "Tell me if you want to go out, and I'll take you out, or let a bodyguard accompany you."

Wen Li's cheeks lost all color in an instant, and her originally fair skin became even paler. Her tears fell like pearls from a broken string, and she nodded helplessly and fearfully.

Ji Tingyang leaned forward slightly, put her hand on his head, let her stroke it, and finally smiled as if satisfied.

However, even so, it could not stop Ji Tingyang from becoming more and more crazy.

When he came home from get off work and saw the empty living room, he suddenly looked panicked.

He walked quickly to the second floor and pushed open the door at the end.

Wen Li was looking at her phone on the sofa and was startled by Ji Tingyang's actions. She almost dropped the phone.

Before she could say anything, Ji Tingyang pinched her chin fiercely, forcing her to look up at him, "Why weren't you in the living room? Why didn't you wait for me to come back the first time?"

"Who are you chatting with, Xiao Yu? What's so good about him? Do you like him that much?!"

Ji Tingyang started cursing, his eyes fell on her cell phone, he felt his eyes burning and painful, and his temples also began to ache.

He snatched Wen Li's phone and almost couldn't help smashing it to the ground, with a sharp scream echoing in his ears.

He couldn't remember what happened afterwards, he only knew that Ji Zeqiu dragged him out.

"What's wrong with you!" Ji Zeqiu grabbed his collar and gritted his teeth.

Ji Tingyang leaned his back against the wall, slowly slid down the wall and sat on the ground.

He rubbed his forehead, looking tired, "I don't know..."

Two or three times, and the frequency becomes more and more frequent.

Ji Zeqiu forced him to see a psychiatrist, who diagnosed him with paranoid personality disorder.

Ji Tingyang longed too much for Wen Li's occasional warmth towards him, so he developed a stubborn possessiveness towards Wen Li, which was often accompanied by symptoms such as sensitivity, suspicion, and jealousy.

"The causes are generally divided into genetics, environment, and family." However, the doctor said that Ji Tingyang's illness was most likely caused by family factors.

Maybe it’s because of the loss of love at an early age and the loss of both parents in childhood.

There is currently no effective drug treatment, but perhaps psychotherapy can be tried.

However, after two years, Ji Tingyang's condition still did not improve, and the quarrels with Wen Li became more and more frequent.

Until a month ago, Lin Xu's sudden appearance interrupted Ji Tingyang's illness.

From then on, Ji Tingyang's mood became much more stable and he smiled more often. Although he said it was troublesome, he was still willing to accompany her shopping.

If it was her, maybe it would be possible to cure Ji Shao's illness.

With this in mind, the housekeeper told Lin Xu about this matter.

After listening to this, Lin Xu fell silent for a long time. He felt confused and a little dazed.

The housekeeper felt uneasy when he saw that she didn't speak.

Did he say too much and make Miss Lin scared? What if Miss Lin ran away directly?

If he had known this, he wouldn't have said it.

When he was feeling annoyed and regretful, Lin Xu thanked the housekeeper and returned to his room with a serious expression.

That afternoon, Lin Xu almost locked himself in the room, sitting in front of the computer and looking up information about paranoid personality disorder for several hours. He even forgot to eat dinner. He was even more diligent than Ji Tingyang in marking documents.

"Dong dong".

There were a few knocks on the door. Ji Tingyang pushed it open and saw Lin Xu sitting in front of the computer. He secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

"What's wrong?" Lin Xu looked up and asked puzzledly.

"It's already nine o'clock in the evening, and I haven't seen you come down to eat..." Fearing that you'd disappeared again, Ji Tingyang paused and changed the subject naturally, "I'm worried that you're hungry."

If he hadn't mentioned it, Lin Xu wouldn't have felt anything, but as soon as she heard him say that, her stomach immediately growled.

Lin Xu looked up in embarrassment, and was about to say something like "it's normal to be hungry, don't make fun of me." However, Ji Tingyang was a CEO who was used to big scenes, and he remained calm throughout the whole process.

Lin Xu couldn't help laughing at the serious look.

Lin Xu turned off the computer and asked him before going downstairs, "Have you had dinner?"

"I...didn't eat."

"That's great, let's go down and eat together!"

Lin Xu pulled Ji Tingyang downstairs together.

The food had been heated up on the table. Lin Xu picked up the chopsticks and took two bites impatiently, but saw that Ji Tingyang didn't move his chopsticks for a long time.

"Why don't you eat? Is it not to your liking?" She blinked.

“No, I, I…” Ji Tingyang hesitated.

"How about I cook you a bowl of scallion noodles?"

Lin Xu felt the light emanating from Ji Tingyang's eyes almost instantly, and it quickly disappeared.

"Okay." He agreed reluctantly.

Lin Xu smiled and didn't expose him. She went into the kitchen, took out the leftover noodles from last time, and started cooking.

Ji Tingyang saw Lin Xu busying around in the kitchen through the glass door, and his mood also became cheerful.

He twirled his fingers at his side, as if remembering something, and stood up and followed her into the kitchen, taking the spatula from her hand, "How do you make this?"

Lin Xu was surprised. Seeing that he really wanted to help, he acted like a hands-off boss and stood aside to instruct him: "First, add the right amount of salt, then pour the right amount of oil."

"…The right amount, how much?"

"As many as you like."

"..."

"Hey hey hey! Too much salt! Are you going to kill yourself with this salt? Add some water to dilute it!"

The kitchen was in chaos, yet also a bit cozy.
