Doesn't Helib support negative number calculation

Brief Description:

I use Helib for data encryption and calculation, but it seems that it gives a wrong answer when I set a=-2 and b=3. Have I used the wrong method? The code is as below:

publicKey.Encrypt(ctx1, to_ZZX(-2)); // Encrypt the value 2 publicKey.Encrypt(ctx2, to_ZZX(-3)); // Encrypt the value 3

    Ctxt ctSum = ctx1;                   // Create a ciphertext to hold the sum and initialize it with Enc(2)
    ctSum += ctx2;                       // Perform Enc(2) + Enc(3)

    ZZX ptSum;                           //	Create a plaintext to hold the plaintext of the sum
    secretKey.Decrypt(ptSum, ctSum);	 // Decrypt the ciphertext ctSum into the plaintext ptSum using secretKey

    cout << "-2 + -3 = " << ptSum[0] << endl;
