The Sweetest Medicine

Lu Xuechen really didn’t think much of his condition. Although he had been struggling to sleep and he had to take sleeping pills almost every night, he thought he’d improve with time.

But, now that he saw the serious expression on Yu Gangan’s face, she didn’t look like she was joking at all.

He moved his lips, but he didn’t want to say anything.

During this time, Fang Zhihan maintained his usual coldness. But, there was a slight trace of amusement in his eyes as he leaned over and gently said something in Yu Gangan’s ear.

As Yu Gangan listened, her eyes suddenly flew open in shock and she looked at Lu Xuechen in disbelief.

Lu Xuechen’s expression turned cold as he gritted his teeth, “Mr. Fang, how do you have the audacity to speak behind my back. If you didn’t ask your assistant to deliberately feed me alcohol, I wouldn’t have been so drunk that I almost blacked out and I wouldn’t have been raped by a woman with a surgical mask. I initially thought that her body and eyes looked good so I assumed her face would be even better looking, but when I removed her mask, she was unbelievably ugly…”

Lu Xuechen struggled to find the words to explain his experience, so he didn’t want to continue.

He simply glared at Fang Zhihan as though he owed him billions in debt.

Yu Gangan bit her lip. She wanted to laugh, but did not dare to laugh.

In reality, Fang Zhihan had only said ten words into her ear, “Open your eyes wide and look at him with surprise.”

Of course, Fang Zhihan was referring to Lu Xuechen. In the end, Yu Gangan did as instructed and Lu Xuechen blurted out the information he was hiding.

Once again, Fang Zhihan was super black-bellied.

But, it was a good thing that Lu Xuechen managed to talk about what happened.

“Your situation is a form of mental illness, don’t treat it like it’s nothing. It’s best that you resolve it as soon as possible, and if you can, you should speak to a psychiatrist. Otherwise, you can speak to me. I should be able to help you a little,” Yu Gangan said.

“Aren’t you a doctor of Chinese medicine?” Lu Xuechen didn’t want to speak to a psychiatrist about this ridiculous incident. In fact, he didn’t want to tell anyone about the embarrassing experience.

“When I was in university, I was recommended to study psychology. I should be able to help you with this early-stage mental illness,” Yu Gangan slightly smiled.

Lu Xuechen looked at her confident expression, “Then, tell me, how do you plan to help me?”

“It appears, the woman from that day traumatized you so much that you think of her every time you see a woman, and the fear that you feel, is like the fear a person feels when they see a monster,” Yu Gangan analyzed.

Lu Xuechen didn’t want to admit to it, but Yu Gangan was right.

“If you leave it untreated for a long period of time and this continues, your trauma will slowly develop into a phobia of women,” Yu Gangan explained.

“A phobia of women?”

Lu Xuechen wanted to say that it was impossible.

However, he had indeed tried to approach women recently to suppress his pain. But, he failed because a simple touch immediately triggered memories of that night. After that, he gradually avoided contact with women even when they were standing right in front of him.

He realized, if this continued in the long term, Yu Gangan’s prediction could well be right.

“According to your current situation, it’s likely that the woman gave you confusing feelings of attraction and rejection. That’s why you’re like this.”

Lu Xuechen furrowed his brows and looked at Yu Gangan dumbfounded, “What do you mean?”

Yu Gangan clarified what she meant, “What I’m trying to say is, the repulsion you feel isn’t simply because she was ugly, but because of the impact she had on you. There is a huge possibility that she triggered a sexual response.”
