Chapter 24 Are you concerned about me?
"Well... you are sick."
Jiang Huai sat next to Jiang Yi, "Bipolar disorder."
Jiang Yi was obviously mentally prepared, "Bipolar disorder, no wonder sometimes I want to commit suicide and kill others..."
"I've really been holding back."
"It's okay, don't you think I'll make it through?" Jiang Huai patted Jiang Yi's back and comforted him.
Jiang Yi lowered his head and grabbed fistfuls of his hair with both hands.
Jiang Zewen and Bai Cuiyun's education to Jiang Huai and Jiang Yi since they were young has affected not only Jiang Huai's mentality, but also Jiang Yi's.
The worse Jiang Zewen's attitude towards Jiang Huai and the more favoritism he showed towards Jiang Yi, the greater the pressure Jiang Yi suffered. Over time, Jiang Yi developed a morbid mentality.
However, Jianghuai has a good attitude and does not feel too much pressure due to his parents' education methods.
"It's okay, let's go home..." Jiang Huai put his arm around Jiang Yi's shoulders and walked towards the medicine window.
After taking the medicine, the two returned home. Because Bai Cuiyun had not returned yet, Jiang Huai did not leave.
Jiang Huai successively explained the situation to Xia Zhang, Shen Zhuo and the others. Today's dinner party may be a little late.
It took a lot of effort for everyone to find the time, but we couldn’t cancel it at the last minute.
At five o'clock in the afternoon, Bai Cuiyun went home.
Jiang Yi's face was full of exhaustion and he went to his room to sleep before Bai Cuiyun came back.
"Xiaohuai, what's wrong with Xiaoyi? Did he get into trouble at school?" Bai Cuiyun looked at Jiang Huai with concern.
"Mom, Xiaoyi is sick. He has bipolar disorder."
"What is bipolar disorder?" Bai Cuiyun didn't understand.
Jiang Huai simply explained to Bai Cuiyun, "Mom, Xiaoyi has suicidal tendencies..."
"What?" Bai Cuiyun covered her mouth, the panic in her eyes ready to come out.
Jiang Zewen also came back, and when he saw Jiang Huai at home, a hint of joy flashed in his eyes.
Unexpectedly, she saw tears in Bai Cuiyun's eyes.
"Wife, why are you crying?"
"Dad, Xiaoyi has bipolar disorder." Jiang Huai told Jiang Zewen the whole story.
Jiang Zewen opened his mouth, but no words came out for a while.
"It's all my fault, it's all my fault. I didn't teach you two well. I kept imposing my goals on you and ignored the growth you wanted..."
Jiang Huai felt helpless, Jiang Zewen's face was filled with self-blame, and there was nothing he could do about it at this point.
It is understandable that many people have no experience as first-time parents. If you treat your second child with the right attitude, then the second child may grow up to be excellent.
But the repeated mistakes in education have cast a shadow on the second child's psychology.
Jiang Yi is a good student. He has achieved the goals set by Jiang Zewen every time, but he has also thought about what would happen if he fails to complete the goal one day.
Will he be scolded and trained like his brother?
Therefore, every success makes Jiang Yi more and more afraid of the next failure. He is afraid of failure and the contrast in possibilities caused by living up to his parents' expectations.
Now that Jiang Yi is full of uncertainty, Jiang Zewen and Bai Cuiyun really don't know what to do.
If Jiang Yi commits suicide, then they will really regret it for the rest of their lives.
"Dad, Mom, I have something else to do, so I'll leave first."
"Okay." Bai Cuiyun sent Jiang Huai to the door and watched Jiang Huai leave.
You see the pavilion.
Jiang Huai was led by the waiter to a small private room for four people. Cheng Jingyi and Shen Zhuo arrived one after another.
Xia Zhangsheng was the last to arrive.
When everyone arrived, Jiang Huai also asked the waiter to start serving food.
"Hey, eating here is not cheap! Boss Jiang has made a lot of money, treat us to dinner!" Cheng Jingyi joked to Jiang Huai.
Jiang Huai rolled his eyes, "Can't you stop your mouth with so many delicious foods?" "By the way, Jiang Huai, how is your brother? Has anything been found on the test?" Xia Zhangsheng asked Jiang Huai.
"The doctor said it was bipolar disorder..." This is the third time Jiang Huai has explained this today.
Xia Zhangsheng glanced at Jiang Huai strangely, "Why are you two brothers so connected to the Department of Neurology?"
"This disease is not within the scope of my research, and I can't do anything to help you. To put it bluntly, this disease cannot be cured."
"I know, but what's more uncomfortable is for my parents. My brother has been diagnosed with bipolar disorder, which all shows that there is something wrong with the way my parents have been raised since childhood."
Cheng Jingyi echoed: "Needless to say, there must be something wrong!"
"I'm so partial to your brother, but I didn't expect that your brother would feel pressured by this."
"And he will take the college entrance examination next year. What should we do now?" Jiang Huai frowned. The college entrance examination is very important. With such huge pressure, Jiang Huai is even more afraid that Jiang Yi will not be able to overcome this hurdle.
Xia Zhangsheng took a sip of tea and said, "There is still a chance to make adjustments. You can let your parents have less contact with your brother first to avoid that kind of pressure."
"The biggest worry is that he will not be able to think about suicide. Bipolar disorder and depression are two extremes, so difficult to deal with!"
"Oh, let's think of something else! I guess my parents will take my brother to a big hospital in Kyoto for a checkup or something."
"That's right, let's eat first!"
The four of us had a very comfortable meal. I have to say that some restaurants are expensive for their own reasons.
After the four of them had eaten and drank, it started to rain heavily outside.
Jianghuai didn't have a car, so after a final discussion, Shen Zhuo came to take Jianghuai back.
"Mr. Jiang, if you need help, you can ask the lady for help. The lady will help your brother contact the best doctor." Shen Zhuo said suddenly.
Jiang Huai shook his head, "Shen Zhuo, you don't understand. What my brother needs to overcome most is psychological pressure. Doctors can only play a very small role in this disease."
"Okay then!"
Jiang Huai returned to the rental house. After washing, he lay down on the bed and prepared to rest.
An unknown number called, but Jianghuai didn't answer and hung up immediately.
But this number kept calling.
Jiang Huai answered the phone in confusion. He wanted to see if the harassing calls were over.
"JAC..."
It's Lin Jia.
Just as Jiang Huai was about to hang up, Lin Jia said again: "Jiang Huai, don't hang up, okay? I want to see you..."
"What's there to see?" After Jiang Huai finished speaking, Lin Jia fell into silence.
Only the sound of heavy rain could be heard in the receiver.
The sound of rain?
Jiang Huai came to the window and saw a figure standing in the rain downstairs.
"Are you downstairs from me?" Jiang Huai asked subconsciously.
"Well..."
Jiang Huai got dressed, picked up his umbrella and walked downstairs.
Lin Jia stood there, holding her mobile phone in her hand, letting the rain soak her whole body.
The weather at the end of October was already a bit wet and cold. Jiang Huai opened his umbrella and walked towards Lin Jia, holding the umbrella between the two of them.
"Are you sick? Why did you come downstairs to my house to get wet in the rain?" Jiang Huai hung up the phone and put the phone in his pocket.
Lin Jia's eyes turned red, "Are you concerned about me?"
