After traveling through time, the four best friends were all targeted by the boss

Several people took Tao Tao back. She was in a coma. Meng Yin and the other two held back their tears, gave her a bath, changed her into comfortable clothes, and stayed by her bedside.

The people who searched the mountain soon brought back news that no one from Yi'an was found and there were only a few farm families on the mountain.

Yi Qing was so angry, but when he came back and saw Tao Tao still asleep, he calmed down a little and was glad that nothing happened to her.

But Tao Tao slept for three whole days and she hasn't woken up yet. During the three of them went to rest, Yi Qing watched over her, worried that she would be hungry after sleeping for too long. But no matter how he called her, Tao Tao didn't wake up. Yi Qing was so scared that he called a doctor. After diagnosis, the doctor said that she was just asleep.

The three of them glanced into the room from the door, looked at each other, and closed the door gently.

Arriving at the courtyard, Xu Zheng slammed her palm on the stone table and said angrily, "Is Taozi really safe? That idiot Yi An must have done something to her!"

Xia Nian said: "The doctor said there is nothing wrong with my body, but mentally..."

Xu Zheng was so angry that she sat down, but she couldn't vent her anger.

Being kidnapped and imprisoned is only what they know. Tao Tao must have experienced other things in the past ten days. When they found her a few days ago, she was still wearing her wedding dress. If Yi An really did something, it would be a lifelong shadow for Tao Tao.

Meng Yin said: "Taozi hasn't woken up yet, how can we help her get out of the shadow?"

Xia Nian looked at the bedroom and said in a deep voice: "When Taozi wakes up, let's not talk about that. According to Taozi's personality, she will say she is not upset no matter how upset she is in order not to make us worry."

She paused, clenched her handkerchief tightly, and said, "I'm afraid Taozi can only rely on herself for this matter."

Meng Yin raised her head with a complicated expression and said, "No, Taozi is very stubborn when she thinks about something. She tends to get stuck in a dead end. Without someone to guide her...she might keep getting stuck in that dilemma!"

Xia Nian sighed, "Yinyin, we have to believe in Taozi."

Although she said this, she was actually very worried.

Meng Yin fell silent, staring at the floor tiles with resentful eyes, cursing Yi An thousands of times in her heart.

"Forget it, forget it." Xu Zheng stood up and said, "No matter what, we have to help Taozi. I'll go out for a walk and see if there's anything I can buy to make Taozi happy."

The two of them stood up together, and Xia Nian said, "Let's go."

When they went out, the three met Xun Yan who was walking quickly towards them.

Xunyan had been traveling a long way a few days ago because her internal injuries had not yet healed and her old injuries relapsed. She had been lying in bed for several days. When she heard the news that Tao Tao had returned, she went to see her, but Tao Tao was still in a coma. Seeing her closed eyes, Xunyan knew that she must have suffered a lot of grievances.

Xunyan asked, "Miss Xia, is Miss Tao still not awake?"

Xia Nian shook her head and said, "Not yet. Yiqing is guarding her."

Seeing Xunyan's sad expression, Meng Yin said, "Xunyan, come with us to go shopping. Taozi is fine."

Xun Yan nodded, holding the handkerchief nervously in her hands. Xu Zheng stepped forward, put his arm around her shoulders and walked out.

Inside the house, Yiqing held Tao Tao's hand, his brows furrowed, his eyes never leaving her.

Tao Tao's face became a little redder, but the dark circles under her eyes were still very obvious. Her breathing was steady and her eyelashes would sometimes tremble, but she was not awake.

Yiqing rubbed his eyebrows. Seeing Tao Tao like this, he felt very uncomfortable. His eyes were full of red bloodshot and his face was a little paler than usual.

Yiqing didn't say a word, just watched over her silently, his fingers gently touching her cheek from time to time.

Suddenly, the fingers held in Yiqing's palm moved. Yiqing was delighted and hurried to look at Tao Tao's face, his expression suddenly became nervous.

Tao Tao didn't wake up. She shook her head from side to side, her brows furrowed, and she muttered something.

Yiqing leaned over, put his hand on her forehead, and whispered, "Atao, Atao, it's me."

Tao Tao didn't know whether she heard it or not. She still didn't open her eyes. Her face looked painful, as if she was having a nightmare and wanted to wake up but couldn't.

Yiqing was anxious and called in her ear: "A Tao, A Tao."

There was no response, so he straightened up a little and said distressedly, "What's going on?"

He stood up and tried to find a doctor, but Tao Tao held his hand tightly. Yi Qing had no choice but to bend down again and said in a trembling voice: "Tao, wake up, it's me, Yi Qing."

Tao Tao in the dream did not hear the voice at all. She raised her head from her arms, everything in front of her was blurry and she didn't know where she was. She was only sure that she was not in reality.

After she fainted in Yiqing's arms, she had nightmares for the past few days. Sometimes, she was trapped in a very small room with no furniture and it was pitch black all around.

Sometimes, she ran on a path in the bamboo forest or on a mountain road, with a ghost in white chasing her. When Tao Tao fell to the ground, he bent down and walked forward, revealing a face with only white bones and no flesh under his hair.

She screamed and her spirit collapsed at one point, and she even banged her body against the wall without feeling any pain. Only then did Tao Tao realize that she must be in a dream.

Knowing it was a dream, she couldn't wake up no matter what she did. Here, she was also afraid of the darkness, and her ears were always surrounded by faint shrill laughter.

Tao Tao couldn't stand it anymore. She had already come out, but she still had to endure this kind of torture.

This sentence made her wake up a little. Tao Tao mustered up the courage to grope in the darkness, but she still couldn't wake up.

She didn't know how long it had been, but she didn't know when or where a bony hand stretched out from the darkness and pulled her over. Then, a ball of black mist pressed down on her and tore her clothes.

Tao Tao screamed and struggled desperately, and the scene that Yi Qing saw in reality happened.

Tao Tao grabbed him, and Yi Qing couldn't leave, so he could only ask A Shuo to call a doctor. He kept anxiously comforting Tao Tao and wiping the sweat from her forehead with a handkerchief.

The black mist on her body disappeared, and Tao Tao sat up sobbing, hugging her knees, shaking all over.

She didn't understand why she still had nightmares and couldn't wake up even though she had escaped. Did he want her to die in her dreams?

As she thought about this negatively, a voice rang in her ears. The voice was sharp and thin, and the tone was mocking: "Look, look, you didn't escape at all."

"No, I have already escaped. Yinyin and the others..." Tao Tao looked over suddenly, but saw nothing.

"Then why do you still dream about these things? Why are you still afraid of the dark? Isn't it just a shadow?"

"I don't know and I don't want to." Tao Tao covered her ears, not wanting to listen.

"It's all because of your fearless kindness that this disaster happened. You can only blame yourself for being too weak and unlucky."

"I……"

"If it wasn't for you, how could all this have happened later? Look at your three friends, why don't they have any?"

"It was Yi An who came to me..."

"You think others are more important than yourself. How can you live like this? Everything that's happened now is your own fault!"

"I'm not, I didn't." Tao Tao cried.

"You still say no, but in the end you still have to rely on others, causing everyone to worry about you."

No one knew where the sound came from, but no matter how Tao Tao covered it up, it could still reach her ears.

"If it weren't for you..."

"If it weren't for you..."

"If it weren't for you..."

It kept saying accusatory words, as if all the faults were on Tao Tao. She couldn't stand it anymore, so she raised her head and yelled, "Stop talking!!!"

Natural light entered her eyes, Tao Tao was stunned, and saw Yiqing's astonished face.

Yiqing quickly put the blanket on her, stroked her face with his big hands, and said worriedly: "A Tao, you finally woke up. The doctor just came but couldn't help. Did you have a nightmare?"

Tao Tao swallowed, rolled her eyes, and when she saw Yi Qing's red eyes, she burst into tears.

Yiqing hugged her lovingly, his voice trembling but his tone extremely gentle.

"Don't be afraid, don't be afraid, Tao. I will always be with you and won't let anything happen to you again. Don't be afraid."
