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

Ah Shuo immediately turned around to look for a doctor. On the way, he bumped into Fu Nian who was talking to Qiao Yi. Fu Nian shouted, "Why are you in such a hurry?"

Ah Shuo didn't look at him and asked Qiao Yi, "Where is Master Zhong?"

"It should be inside the house." Qiao Yi said, and Ah Shuo flew over directly.

Before Fu Nian could react, Qiao Yi understood first and said anxiously, "Something happened to Miss Tao!"

"Something happened to Miss Tao...Ah, Madam, something happened to Miss Tao!"

Fu Nian shouted in the yard, and as soon as he knew it, everyone in the yard knew it. Xia Nian and the other two hurried to Tao Tao's room, and as soon as they came in, they saw Zhong Ziyi taking her pulse.

"How's Taozi?" Xia Nian asked hurriedly.

Zhong Ziyi took his hand back and said, "Miss Tao is a little weak. It's probably because she didn't get enough rest these days."

"What?" Yi Qing frowned, "But Ah Tao...slept for several days."

"Hmm..." Zhong Ziyi pondered and asked Tao Tao, "Miss Tao, were you just sleeping during those few days when you were asleep?"

Tao Tao was shocked. She didn't expect Zhong Ziyi could even notice this. She unconsciously tightened the quilt with her hands, and Xia Nian saw this.

"It's fine, but I keep dreaming." Tao Tao said in a low voice.

She had just vomited and her face was extremely pale, as if she had been covered with powder.

Xu Zheng spread out her hands and said, "Taozi, I just wanted to say this today. You still have dark circles under your eyes when you wake up. Is there really nothing else?"

Tao Tao smiled weakly and said, "Really...really not."

Yiqing said to Zhong Ziyi: "When I came here just now, Ah Tao was lying on the ground alone, and she seemed to have difficulty breathing. What happened?"

"What?!" Meng Yin and the other two were shocked. "Taozi was fine when we left. How come she got into trouble just a short while after we left?" Meng Yin asked.

Zhong Ziyi said: "I'm not sure either. As of now, Miss Tao just needs to rest, but as for the inside..."

He looked at Tao Tao and said, "Maybe it depends on Miss Tao herself."

After saying that, he got up and went to prepare the medicine.

The three of them came over, and Tao Tao forced a smile and said, "I'm sorry to have made you worried."

Meng Yin grabbed her hand, looking somewhat anxious: "Taozi, are you in a state of distress?"

"Well, a little bit." Tao Tao said, "But don't worry, I will overcome it."

Xia Nian asked: "What about what Yiqing said just now, that you have difficulty breathing?"

The three of them looked at her worriedly, all with frowned brows. Tao Tao even felt cold sweat on Meng Yin's hands.

Her heart twisted, and she suddenly felt useless, causing them to worry about her all the time. Tao Tao lowered her eyes and said, "No...it was just that Ah Qing came back and happened to see me taking a deep breath."

Yiqing's chest heaved, and he said anxiously: "But A Tao, you just vomited." He pointed to the ground in front, which had been cleaned.

"I just feel a little nauseous..." Tao Tao said with a wry smile, "Don't worry, it's probably because I slept too long and my body hasn't recovered yet. It will be gone in a few days."

As she spoke, she prayed in her heart, perhaps her escape was an accident and it would take time for her to recover psychologically?

"Then A Tao, are you hungry? If you are, I'll tell someone to make something to eat." Yi Qing said.

Tao Tao shook her head. She really couldn't eat anything right now. "I don't really want to eat. Yinyin, you guys go back and rest. I'm fine, and Aqing is with me."

Meng Yin and the other two looked at each other and compromised: "Okay, then, you have a good rest, and we will go out and play together tomorrow."

Tao Tao nodded repeatedly: "Yeah."

After they left, Yiqing sat on the bed, holding her hand, his eyes flickering with a mixture of heartache and hatred, "A Tao, tell me, did that bastard Yi An do anything to you?"

Tao Tao was stunned, and her lips moved. Seeing this, Yi Qing bent down and hugged her, his voice trembling: "Don't be afraid, Tao, tell me, I won't feel anything towards you, I just hate myself for not protecting you well, letting you be kidnapped and suffer so much injustice."

Tao Tao's eyes instantly turned red. She reached out to hug Yi Qing and said in a trembling voice, "Qing, it's not your fault. Yi An did want to force me, but he didn't succeed."

Hearing this, Yiqing hugged her even tighter, as if he wanted to hold her in his arms.

After a long time, Yiqing raised his head. Tao Tao saw the red corners of his eyes and gently touched them, saying, "I'm fine, really fine. Let's rest."

Yiqing took a deep breath, finally calmed down, and said gently: "Well, Tao, I'll accompany you."

He sat up and said, "I'll go wash up first, Ah Tao, wait for me."

Tao Tao nodded and waved at him.

After Yiqing left, Tao Tao became panicked.

Why is she afraid of darkness and confined spaces? Is it because Yi An imprisoned her, or because her fever damaged her brain?

Whatever it was, how was she going to overcome it? If she continued like this, she would never be able to survive.

Tao Tao clutched the quilt tightly with both hands and lowered her head on her knees.

When Yiqing came back, he saw her in this position and thought she was feeling unwell again, so he hurried forward to call her.

Tao Tao raised her head, her eyes were bloodshot, and she said, "Ah Qing, can you not blow out the lights?"

Yiqing nodded, lifted the quilt and sat down, saying, "Okay, I'll close the window, just sleep like this, Tao, if you have anything at night, call me, I'll always be here."

Tao Tao's nose felt sore and she thought to herself that she must overcome her fear. She was back now. If she was trapped in the past, how would she live?

By then, Aqing, Yinyin and the others will definitely feel very uncomfortable.

Yiqing embraced her and they both lay down in bed. He hugged Tao Tao tightly, fearing that she would suddenly disappear.

Tao Tao did not refuse and hugged him as well, finally smelling the familiar scent of peach soapberry.

Gradually, she fell asleep.

Even in this comfortable environment, she still had nightmares.

She was running in the rain, and there was a ghost in white chasing her. He caught up with her and knocked her to the ground. His face dripping with blood was very close to her, and his mouth was almost split to her ears.

One moment she was tied up with countless chains and thrown into a cage full of steel bars, and then a green-clad ghost came and smashed her head.

She fainted, and when she opened her eyes again, she saw a man who looked like Yi An. He had no face, but Tao Tao felt that it was Yi An. His face was covered in blood, and he kept shouting, "You can't escape."

When Tao Tao ran, he chased her. When he caught up with her, he grabbed her neck and asked her something. She couldn't hear clearly and cried, "Let me go..."

With a bang, the monster disappeared, and the surroundings were like a bottomless black hole. Tao Tao couldn't bear it anymore and cried while hugging her knees.

"Why? Why is this happening?" she sobbed.

That sharp voice rang again in Tao Tao's mind.

"See, you didn't escape at all. You will live in the shadow for the rest of your life."

"No, I won't!" Tao Tao retorted, "Why should I go through this..."

The voice sneered: "You are just too fragile."

"..."

"If it wasn't for your negligence, would you have gone through this? As a doctor, who would dare to see you if you became like this? You are sick all over!"

"No, I'm not sick." Tao Tao said weakly, with his hands on his chest, breathing weakly.

"Not sick yet? You are mentally fragile. If it were your friends, would they be the same as you?"

These words made Tao Tao fall into deep thought. If it was Yinyin, she would not have suffered the same sequelae as her if she escaped. If it was Nian Nian, she would not have had too much sympathy for other people. If it was Azheng, she would not even have been captured.
