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

Seeing that Tao Tao seemed tired, Meng Yin said, "Why don't we go to sleep?"

Xia Nian nodded and asked, "Do you want to blow out the lights?"

Tao Tao clenched her hands and said, "Blow it."

The three of them smiled knowingly. Xu Zheng got out of bed and blew out the light. The room suddenly fell into darkness. Tao Tao closed her eyes and welcomed the pain, but her hand was suddenly held by someone.

The moon was round tonight, and the moonlight shone through the screen window. She saw Meng Yin, who was sleeping next to her, smiling at her. It was she who had just held her hand.

Meng Yin hissed, "Don't be afraid."

Tao Tao's throat suddenly choked and she could only nod blankly and lie down.

Whenever the four of them slept together, Meng Yin and Tao Tao would sleep in the middle, Xia Nian and Xu Zheng would sleep on the sides, and they would share one quilt.

Tao Tao found someone hugging her waist. She knew it was Xu Zheng. When she looked back, she found that she had fallen asleep.

Tao Tao held back her tears and fell asleep with him.

Everything was peaceful at the beginning, but then Tao Tao had a nightmare again. She cried and screamed, and all three of them were woken up. Xu Zheng turned on the light and saw Tao Tao grabbing her hair with her hands, and beads of sweat appeared on her forehead.

Meng Yin held her hand and shouted, "Taozi, Taozi!"

Tao Tao seemed to hear the voice, her body trembled, and her eyes opened suddenly.

Seeing Mingliang and the other three's worried faces, she hadn't come to her senses yet and stared at them blankly.

Meng Yin wiped her tears with a handkerchief and asked, "What's wrong? Did you have a nightmare?"

Tao Tao nodded, took the handkerchief and wiped herself, her body twitching.

Xu Zheng said, "What kind of nightmare is so severe?" She hugged Tao Tao and let her lean on her arms.

Tao Tao trembled and said, "I dreamed that I was locked up and a ghost was chasing me."

"Don't be afraid, don't be afraid, they are all fake." Meng Yin said.

Xia Nian came over, held her hand and said softly, "Taozi, don't be afraid, we are with you."

"Yes, yes, we are here." Xu Zheng said with a smile.

Tao Tao nodded. She was not afraid after waking up, but she was extremely scared in the dream because she knew it was a dream. However, she could not wake up no matter what, as if she was sleep paralyzed.

In order to help Tao Tao calm down, the three of them chatted quietly. After a while, Xu Zheng couldn't help yawning. Tao Tao hurriedly said, "Go to sleep. It's all my fault. Otherwise, you wouldn't wake up. Why don't you go back to sleep?"

Meng Yin curled her lips, obviously not happy with what she said, and lay down directly: "What are you talking about, I've already slept in this warm bed. If I go back, Gu Ling will make a fuss again. I'll just sleep with Taozi~"

Tao Tao lowered her head and murmured, "Yin Yin..."

"Alright, alright, let's go to sleep." Meng Yin pulled her into bed, "Do you want to blow out the lights?"

Tao Tao nodded. Xu Zheng was afraid that she would have a nightmare again, so she said, "If you leave a light on, Tao Zi might not have a nightmare."

Tao Tao said, "Blow it, Ah Zheng." She would have nightmares even during the day, let alone at night? It was useless to leave a light on.

Xia Nian also thought of this aspect. She felt resentful and said, "Just blow it, and overcome it slowly."

Xu Zheng nodded and blew out all the lights.

The room was quiet, Meng Yin and Xia Nian were still worried about Tao Tao, and fell asleep while thinking about it. Tao Tao was so uncomfortable that she covered her head. Xu Zheng beside her had already fallen asleep. She heard the gentle breathing around her, blamed herself in her heart, and gradually fell asleep.

"Don't you feel useless? You can't even overcome this little thing. You even need someone to accompany you when you sleep. Will you be unable to take care of yourself in the future?"

Tao Tao suddenly opened her eyes, and it was pitch black all around her. She was sitting on the ground, but she could see her own body.

This voice hit the nail on the head with what she was thinking.

"I don't want to either. I can't control it." Tao Tao covered her head with her hands, looking painful.

"It's all your fault. You've been imprisoned for so long, causing them to worry. Now you're back to trouble them. Your health is already so bad, is it necessary? It's better to die early and be reborn so that they don't have to be implicated by you."

Tao Tao shook her head desperately: "No, no! I want to survive. If I die, they will be even more sad."

The voice chuckled and said sarcastically, "Do you think they will feel better if you are alive? You haven't figured out the situation yet. You are so fragile, they will get tired of you sooner or later, and then they will forget about you as a friend. Don't you realize the gap between you and them?"

Tao Tao paused, her eyes unfocused. Every word the voice said hit her heart, making her more and more self-doubting.

Just as she had thought before, if Meng Yin and the other two encountered this kind of thing, they would not be like her.

If she continued like this, no matter how patient the three of them were, they would be exhausted one day. Before that day came, she would be exhausted by nightmares and claustrophobia and die.

At that time, they would be sad again. They were so useless. They were kidnapped and could not escape. Not only that, they were also traumatized. Only death could stop everything.

But she didn't want to, she still had to be with the three of them...

"How can you go on with them in your current state?" The voice suddenly sounded, interrupting her thoughts.

"It's better to understand it now than to be abandoned in the future. It's better to suffer a short pain than a long one. It's better to end it sooner rather than later. They won't be sad for long, and you won't have to suffer either."

Hearing this, Tao Tao's eyes became lifeless and she stared blankly at the ground.

"You can't overcome it. If you keep doing this, they will leave you sooner or later."

"And Yiqing, he will get tired of you too. He is so powerful, why would he want a weak wife?"

"And you yourself, you have been in so much pain, why don't you give yourself a quick death?"

"You can't change the past anyway. You asked for it."

I asked for it? Is it all my fault? Tao Tao straightened up, tilted her head upwards, tears falling from the corners of her eyes, but her eyes were staring straight up, as if her soul had left her body.

"It's so painful to live, I can't stand it anymore, I don't want to see them feel sad for me anymore." Tao Tao murmured, standing up and staring straight ahead. "Just die, so that I won't cause trouble to everyone, and I won't feel sad."

"Yes, go further, there is something that can end the suffering." The voice became obviously excited, and the tone was encouraging.

Tao Tao lifted her legs and walked forward step by step.

In reality, Tao Tao suddenly got up from the bed, stepped over Xu Zheng, and almost fell down, but Meng Yin grabbed her clothes in time.

"Taozi!" Meng Yin shouted, and Xia Nian and Xu Zheng beside her also woke up. In the moonlight, they saw Tao Tao sitting on the ground, kicking her legs, trying to break free from Meng Yin's hands.

Xia Nian hurriedly lit the candle, and Xu Zheng went to pick up Tao Tao. Just as she put her on the bed, Tao Tao sat up again. Her eyes were closed, and she actually got out of bed in front of the three of them and walked forward step by step.

"Is Taozi... sleepwalking?" Meng Yin asked uncertainly.

Xu Zheng stopped her and waved her hand in front of her, but Tao Tao didn't react and actually walked around her and continued walking.

Xia Nian shouted: "Hurry up and grab Taozi."

Xu Zheng hugged her with both hands, but Tao Tao was actually stronger than she thought and pushed hard with both hands.

"What should we do? I heard that we can't just wake up a sleepwalker." Meng Yin said.

Xia Nian put on his coat and said, "I'll go call Zhong Ziyi."

The two nodded. Xia Nian just went out, and Tao Tao was still struggling. She stepped directly on Xu Zheng's foot. Xu Zheng picked her up by the waist.

Meng Yin said, "A Zheng, hurry up and put Taozi on the bed."

Xu Zheng did as she was told. Meng Yin covered Tao Tao with the quilt and held her ankles with both hands, while Xu Zheng held her hands.

“Oh my God, my strength increases when I sleepwalk!” Xu Zheng exclaimed.

Meng Yin looked at Tao Tao worriedly, frowning. What Tao Tao had experienced must be much more horrible than what she said. Now, they had no idea what was going on in her dream.

Suddenly, Tao Tao fought back desperately, and the two of them tried their best. Xu Zheng couldn't help but shout, "Tao Tao, it's us!"

Tao Tao obviously didn't hear anything and was whimpering something. Meng Yin leaned closer to listen and her expression froze.

"Death, death..." She kept repeating the word.
