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

The voice seemed to know exactly what she was thinking. It made a harsh mocking sound and said mercilessly: "Look at the gap between you and your friends. Everything you have now is caused by yourself. Even if you escape, the pain will still accompany you for the rest of your life."

"No, it won't!" Tao Tao said affirmatively, but she still had no idea.

"Indeed not. Perhaps you will die soon because you are afraid of the dark, have nightmares, and don't get enough rest. How can you live without energy?"

Tao Tao was stunned, and her breathing became more and more frequent.

"You think you'll be alright if you escape? You'll die. Your body and mind can't take it. Aren't you to blame for everything that's happened now?"

"It's not my fault, don't talk nonsense!" Tao Tao didn't seem to believe it, but she was very scared in her heart.

"Aren't you useless? You also know that if you change someone else, he won't be like this, why just you? You should hide behind your friends all your life. In this way, you will no longer be yourself, hahahaha..."

"What?" Tao Tao could barely understand this sentence. It was not her fault that she was imprisoned, but after she was released, there were still sequelae, which was that she was too mentally fragile.

"Hiding behind them and waiting for you to die will actually reduce their burden, and they won't remember you..."

"How is that possible?" Tao Tao retorted. She could no longer hear what was said afterwards. Her body felt heavy and she could only curl up.

The voice disappeared, Tao Tao widened her eyes and looked at her white palms.

Having hidden behind her friends all her life, these words pierced her heart like a nail.

Yes, why did she have to encounter such a thing? Even if she escaped, the nightmare still lingered. Was she too kind? Was she too timid?

If this continues, even if she doesn't die, the distance between her and Yinyin and the other two will grow farther and farther, not only physically but also spiritually.

She couldn't help but blame herself in her heart. If it weren't for her kindness to Yi An, she wouldn't have been kidnapped.

But she changed her mind and realized that it was precisely because of this that Xunyan was able to survive. These coincidences seemed like destiny.

It was destined for her to have this misfortune. This was a dead end and she could not get out no matter what. If she considered herself, she would sacrifice others; if she considered others, she would sacrifice herself.

"You're thinking about this again." Her voice suddenly rang out. Tao Tao raised her tearful face and saw her evil self.

The corner of her mouth was curled up in a smile, a sarcastic smile.

"You are belittling yourself again. What's the use of crying?" she said.

Tao Tao shook her head and said, "I don't want to either, but I had a nightmare and I felt so uncomfortable."

"Yeah, you've been wandering in nightmares for several days. It must be tiring, right?" Silhouette walked forward and squatted in front of her.

Tao Tao lowered her head and said, "There is a voice that keeps disturbing me, I..."

"You still believed what it said because it is the self-doubt in your heart." said the silhouette.

"I... I don't know." Tao Tao said painfully, "What it said is true. If it continues like this, my body won't be able to bear it soon."

Silhouette nodded and said, "So, you have to find the source."

"source?"

"You are in pain..."

Before she could finish her words, Tao Tao woke up. When she opened her eyes, she saw Yi Qing's worried face, and she realized that she was sweating all over.

"Ah...Ah Qing." Tao Tao panted and looked at him in a daze.

Yiqing held her shoulders and said nervously, "Atao, you were crying just now. Did you have a nightmare?"

Tao Tao was shocked. She didn't expect her nightmare to be like this.

Seeing that she didn't say a word, Yiqing knew that she must have had a nightmare. He got up and found some calming incense to light, then hugged her in his arms and said softly, "Don't be afraid, I'm here."

Tears welled up in Tao Tao's eyes, and her hands unconsciously grabbed his clothes tightly.

What should she do? If she continues like this, it will be a great torture for herself, A-Qing, and everyone else.

At that time, it will be just like the voice in her head. She caused trouble to everyone, and when she died, everyone would be relieved.

Not daring to think any further, Tao Tao was really tired and fell asleep in a half-awake state.

The next day, when the three men saw her, their faces all became solemn.

The big dark circles and red bloodshot eyes don't look like he's had a good rest at all.

Xia Nian's face was full of worry. He took Tao Tao's hand and said, "Taozi, you don't look good. Let's go see a doctor."

Tao Tao said, "I just didn't sleep well...Mr. Zhong also said last night that there is nothing wrong with my body."

Xu Zheng yelled, "What should I do? This won't work. Look how thin you are. You've become a nutritious peach!"

Tao Tao smiled awkwardly.

Meng Yin sat down with his hand on his forehead, pondered for a moment, and said: "How about... ask the miracle doctor to take a look, this is not a solution."

Speaking of miracle doctors, the three of them all looked at Xu Zheng. Xu Zheng patted his chest and said, "Although he hurt me before, he saved me. His medical skills are still amazing. Why are you looking at me? For Taozi, I'm willing to do anything!"

The three of them were ashamed. It seemed that A Zheng had completely forgotten that Su Xun liked her. When the miracle doctor arrived, Pei Xuanxi would probably be very angry.

Seeing that they all looked sad, Tao Tao lowered her head in pain.

Hiding behind them all my life.

This sentence rang in her mind like a bomb. Tao Tao opened her eyes wide and clenched the teacup tightly in her hands.

Meng Yin saw it and asked with concern: "Taozi, what's wrong?"

Tao Tao bit her back teeth and said, "I'm fine."

She was determined to overcome her fear and not let the three of them worry!

"Let's go, let's go. Didn't you say you would take me shopping today?" Tao Tao said with a smile.

Xu Zheng cheered, "Great! The clothes in Tongqiu County are different from those in other cities. They are more like those of ethnic minorities."

Tao Tao said: "Then let's buy a few sets."

Meng Yin brought rouge, lifted her chin with her fingers, and sighed, "Before going shopping, let's cover up Taozi's big dark circles."

Tao Tao smacked her lips, then raised her head obediently to let her play with her face.

At this time, someone knocked on the door. Xu Zheng went forward to open the door. Seeing that it was Xunyan, she smiled and said, "Good morning, Xunyan."

Xun Yan smiled softly and said, "Good morning, Miss Xu. I came to see how Miss Tao is doing."

Tao Tao turned her head and said, "I'm fine. Xun Yan, are you okay later?"

Meng Yin took over the conversation: "If not, come shopping with us!"

Xun Yan said: "Mr. Zhong is going to teach me how to write later, but I won't..."

"Oh, you can write anytime, but you can't go out and walk around anytime!" Xu Zheng winked at her, then ran outside, saying, "I'll go tell him!"

Xun Yan had no time to stop him and could only walk into the house and stir the silk handkerchief with his fingers.

Tao Tao was the first to notice her somewhat embarrassed and uneasy look, thinking about how to start the conversation. Xia Nian knew what Tao Tao was thinking at a glance, stood up and walked to Xun Yan with a smile, put his hands on her shoulders, and said with a smile:

"It's my treat today, you can buy whatever you want. It's normal for girls to buy more clothes, jewelry and makeup."

Meng Yin's ears twitched when she heard this, and she smiled and said, "Ah! So I saw a shop a few days ago, and the clothes there are very suitable for Xunyan."

Xun Yan paused and stammered, "Then it should be... Miss Tao is also suitable."

Xia Nian smiled and said, "Then let's try it slowly. It's not a bad idea to book the whole store anyway."

Xun Yan said embarrassedly: "But... won't this cost a lot of money?"

Xia Nian shook his head slightly and said, "Money is meant to be used, don't worry about it."

"Oh, I'm afraid Xiahou Yu is still begging for Nian Nianhua." Meng Yin joked, looked at Tao Tao's face with satisfaction, and clapped his hands, "Okay, now it's more like shopping."

Xu Zheng happened to come back, and they smiled at each other, then walked out arm in arm.
