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

In a daze, Tao Tao heard someone talking in a low voice. It was Meng Yin and Zhong Ziyi who were talking about something. Then the sound of a door opening was heard, and someone went out.

Tao Tao slowly opened her eyes and saw Yiqing, Meng Yin and Xun Yan all looking at her anxiously and worriedly.

"Atao, you're awake!" Yiqing said, pulling the quilt up a little more.

"Ah Qing..." Tao Tao still remembered stabbing Yi Qing. She turned her head to look at his wound. He had changed his clothes, so she didn't see the pool of blood. "Is the wound healed?"

"It's completely healed, Tao, don't think too much, it's not you who did it." Yiqing comforted her and held her hand.

Tao Tao closed her eyes, tears falling down her cheeks. She trembled and said, "It's me. It's my fault." She looked at several people and said, "I made everyone worry again. You all couldn't sleep well because of me. I also stabbed Ah Qing..."

"Taozi, don't say that. It's normal for us to take care of you. Seeing you feel bad, we feel bad too." Meng Yin said, tilting her head slightly to wipe away her tears.

Tao Tao shook her head, choking with sobs and unable to speak. After a long while, she sat up and said, "I want to be alone for a while."

Xia Nian was worried: "Taozi, with your health condition, let us stay with you."

"No, I want to be alone for a while." Tao Tao said, sitting up.

It was still late at night and it was still dark outside. An idea just came to her mind. Instead of going on like this, she might as well die. She would go to a dark room and try it alone. If she could overcome it, then she would be fine. If not, she would just die and not have to implicate so many people.

Yiqing supported her and said, "Atao, let me accompany you."

Tao Tao said softly, "No need, Aqing." She walked outside and Yiqing hurriedly put a cloak on her.

Xu Zheng asked: "Taozi, where are you going?"

Tao Tao took a deep breath, turned her head and smiled at them: "I can't bear to leave you, I don't want to give up just like that, but I don't want to implicate you even more, I want to make a break."

After she finished speaking, she suddenly rushed out, ran to the small room next door, and slammed the door shut from the inside.

The few people didn't expect Tao Tao to do this suddenly. When they chased after her, the door had already been closed.

"Oh no! Taozi has claustrophobia. She might die like this!" Meng Yin shouted. Yiqing and Xu Zheng used their bodies to bang against the door, but the door was unexpectedly strong and did not fall down even after being hit hard by both of them.

Tao Tao sat on the ground. The room was very cold. Her hands and feet became cold and she was shaking uncontrollably. This was a place to store miscellaneous items. There were no windows and it was so dark that it was stifling.

The feeling of suffocation came as expected, and Tao Tao began to gasp. This time she tried her best to hold on, pinching her arm with her fingers, leaving several bloody marks.

She couldn't bear it anymore. Apart from facing it head-on, she couldn't think of any other idea, other than committing suicide. Sooner or later, they would forget about her, and she wouldn't have to suffer so much.

But she was unwilling to give up. She had finally come here and escaped. She had clearly reunited with a few people, but she still had to go through all this. She was unwilling to give up, unwilling to just give up, unwilling to stop here.

She clearly still had a long way to go, and she wanted to keep going with the other three and Yiqing.

The four people outside kept shouting her name, but Tao Tao held on and didn't open the door. She stared fixedly at the darkness in front of her. Suddenly, she felt inexplicably nauseous and vomited up everything she had eaten that night.

Tao Tao's body was shaking and goose bumps appeared all over her body. Her face was pale and her head was leaning back on the box.

In the darkness, it seemed as if countless pairs of sticky hands were grabbing her.

With a bang, the door fell to the ground. Yi Qing had just heard the sound from inside and was extremely anxious. He directly used 80% of his internal strength to hit the door, but the door naturally could not withstand it.

He rushed in and carried Tao Tao out.

Tao Tao leaned in Yiqing's arms, her face pale and her lips bloodless.

Several people hurried back to the house, and Zhong Ziyi brought the medicine at that moment. Tao Tao drank it and saw their gloomy faces.

Yiqing sat on the bedside, his brows knitted, his eyes dim. When Tao Tao finished drinking, he asked softly, "A Tao, are you feeling better?"

"Better now." Tao Tao stirred with her fingers, "I..."

Xia Nian said: "Taozi, we know what you are thinking. You think you are always making us worry, and you are afraid of getting us into trouble. You are also afraid that you will hurt us like you hurt Yiqing."

Tao Tao pursed her lips and nodded silently.

"Don't think like that. We have been friends since childhood. It's my duty to take care of you. There's no such thing as a burden." Xia Nian said.

Tao Tao shook her head and lowered her eyes, "That's not the case. I don't want to continue like this. I want to end it right away."

"You mean you want to commit suicide?" Xia Nian asked. Tao Tao looked at her in surprise and saw tears in her eyes.

Tao Tao was shocked. Xia Nian seldom cried, but now for her... She was indeed reckless tonight and made several people worry.

Meng Yin suddenly rushed over, grabbed her hand and shouted: "Taozi, Taozi! Don't think too much, you are afraid of the dark and have claustrophobia, let's overcome it together! Aren't we friends? How could we let you bear this by yourself? We are also in pain because we can't help you!"

"Yes, you have always been protected by us. It is normal that you can't bear it after experiencing all this suddenly. But you don't have to bear the pain alone. Let's go together, okay? And don't even think about committing suicide!" Xu Zheng said.

Tao Tao burst into tears and sobbed, "How can I hide behind you all the time? I don't want to... I can bear those things by myself. If I can't bear it, I'd better die. I don't want to hurt you or Ah Qing..."

She raised her head, tears welling up in her eyes. "I don't want to hide behind you all the time. You protect me, and I want to protect you too. We are friends and family, but I can't always rely on you. I want to stand with you..."

"But now, let alone protecting you, I am like a time bomb. I hurt Ah Qing, and next time I might hurt you. I can't accept myself like this. It's better for me to die than to live like this!"

Xia Nian hugged her distressedly, stroked her back, and said softly: "No, no, there must be a way, don't be afraid, we won't abandon you, we agreed to be friends for life, how could we abandon you."

Tao Tao had already sobbed and cried, "I know you won't abandon me, but I'm afraid the gap between you and me will grow wider and wider. If it were you, this would never happen."

Meng Yin said uncomfortably: "It's not your fault! Taozi, do you know how sad we would be if you died, as well as Yiqing." She spoke anxiously, and even her voice was tearful.

Tao Tao looked at Yi Qing beside her. His eyes were filled with grief and hatred, and his face turned pale.

"I know... I know..." Tao Tao let go of Xia Nian and wiped her tears with her hands, "But I don't know what to do. What should I do if it's like this for the rest of my life? I'm like a burden."

"You are not a burden!" Xu Zheng said angrily, "We will take care of you for the rest of your life and will never abandon you."

Tao Tao nodded repeatedly. Several people looked extremely unhappy. Tao Tao said distressedly: "You guys should go back and rest. I won't be impulsive anymore."

Meng Yin slowly let go of her hand and said, "Let's make a deal, don't do anything stupid by yourself, let's discuss anything together."

Tao Tao forced a smile: "Okay."

The three of them said good night to Tao Tao. After they left, Tao Tao looked at Yi Qing next to her and found that his face was terribly gloomy.

"Aqing..." Tao Tao tried to pull his clothes, but Yiqing stood up and hugged her fiercely, holding her waist with one hand and pressing the other on the back of her head, as if he was afraid that she would suddenly run away like she did just now.

After a while, Yi Qing said in a hoarse voice: "A Tao, don't do anything stupid. I will stay with you no matter what. If you go, I will definitely go with you. Don't..." He rubbed Tao Tao's neck, "Don't leave me."

Tao Tao's breathing stagnated and she felt even more distressed. Yi Qing used to be so heroic and high-spirited, but he threw away his arrogance for her.
