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

"I won't. I'm sorry, Aqing, for making you worry." Tao Tao said, "Let's take a rest."

Thinking about what happened tonight, she felt a little flustered. She didn't expect herself to be so extreme.

Yiqing nodded and slowly let go of her. Tao Tao reached out and wiped his face, saying, "Blow out the lights." Yiqing did as he was told, blew out the lights, sat down beside her, covered her with the quilt, and hugged her tightly.

Tao Tao had been through a night of suffering and was now very tired. She was also worried about Yi Qing's injury and asked in a low voice, "A Qing, does your injury still hurt?"

Yiqing held her hand and said softly, "It's okay now. It's not your fault."

Tao Tao rested her forehead on her chest. She had not expected what happened tonight at all. Her spirit had collapsed to such an extent that not only did she want to end her life, but she also hurt Yi Qing.

She sniffed and felt Yiqing's hand gently caressing her back.

Tao Tao bit her lip to stop herself from crying. What should she do to get better?

As she thought about it, her eyes gradually closed.

"Haha, you're still walking around in circles." Her voice rang out, Tao Tao opened her eyes slightly, and saw the evil-looking girl walking towards her.

Tao Tao sat up, hugged her calves, and said in a trembling voice: "I don't know what to do. Nothing I do will work."

"You've been sitting there belittling yourself, blaming yourself for everything like you did before." Silhouette hugged her from behind and rested his chin on her shoulder.

"I just feel that I am useless. If it were Yinyin and the others, they would definitely not be like me." Tao Tao said, looking at her toes.

Silhouette laughed twice, "What if? Why think about things that haven't happened."

"I know." Tao Tao said.

"You know? You don't know. If you knew, you wouldn't be going around in circles, getting stuck in a dead end, constantly spitting and blaming yourself. Is this you?"

Is this you? This sentence made Tao Tao stunned. Although she was sensitive, she was still strong and would not give up easily. Just like when she heard those people asking why she played with Meng Yin and the other two, she did not argue, but relied on her own efforts to get the first place in the grade to shut them up.

But now, she wanted to end her life again and again. Tao Tao realized that there was something wrong with her mentality.

Tao Tao murmured, "I...I can't seem to control the negative thoughts in my mind."

Silhouette raised the corner of his mouth and said, "Yes, because you didn't think of the correct way to deal with it."

"What? What should I do?" Tao Tao frowned.

"Let me ask you, do you plan to continue being an innocent little white flower, hiding behind your friends, blindly being protected by them, and not even knowing how you were abandoned in the end, or do you plan to cut off the source of your pain with your own hands?"

Silhouette reached out and lifted her chin, asking her to look up, then he moved around in front of her and squatted down to be at eye level with her.

"The source of my pain... the source of my pain is..." Tao Tao looked at her and found that there was no innocence in her eyes. Even her smile was filled with contempt, an expression she had never seen before.

"Who made you become like this? You know better than anyone." Silhouette held her face and said.

Tao Tao's body became stiff, and her brows trembled: "It's... Yi An."

"Yes, isn't he the one who started all this? He designed a plan to save you, and you had good intentions towards him, but he couldn't control his dark and narrow heart and imprisoned you with disgusting love. What did you do wrong from the beginning to the end? Why should he pay with your life!"

"Isn't he the one who deserves to die?" These words came out of Tao Tao's mouth, full of murderous intent. Her smile became more and more flamboyant, as if she heard words that made her very satisfied.

Tao Tao looked at her and clenched her hands little by little.

"Don't you understand? The reason why you became like this is Yi An. He is the source of your pain. Why do you always look for problems in yourself? Just solve the root cause directly!"

Tao Tao lowered her head slightly, and was then forcibly lifted up by her. After hearing what she said, Tao Tao also understood that she was depressed and suffered from claustrophobia because of Yi An. He imprisoned her. If it weren't for him, she would still be living a good life with everyone now.

And now, she is enduring all this pain, why should he live? !

Tao Tao raised her eyes, her eyes were filled with hatred, and she gritted her teeth and said, "I must kill him with my own hands."

Silhouette smiled and said, "That's right. Only in this way can your knot be resolved. Otherwise, do you want to hide behind your friends for the rest of your life? No one can be innocent forever. You have been suppressing yourself."

"Yes, you are right. Yinyin and the others are the ones I love the most. I can't hide behind them and get further and further away from them... I don't want to!" Tao Tao shouted, looking at her sharply.

"But how could I be so innocent? Have you forgotten how I killed Pang Ren?"

"Pfft, who do you think was guiding that voice at that time?"

Tao Tao's eyes widened, "That voice... is you!"

"Wrong, I am you and you are me." Silhouette raised her hand and interlocked their fingers. "That voice is us."

"We?" Tao Tao asked doubtfully.

She was a little dazed when she killed Pang Ren and didn't think too much about it. She felt bad afterwards and it took her a long time to calm down and she didn't think too much about it.

"Alas, how can you think that just because you are a doctor, you cannot have those so-called evil thoughts? You put so many shackles on yourself. This is the real you." Silhouette smiled and raised her hands, interlocking their fingers.

Tao Tao frowned for a while, then suddenly laughed out loud, "I understand. I won't suppress myself anymore, and I won't go around in circles anymore."

The silhouette tilted her head and smiled, her body gradually becoming transparent, "That's right, you know, I feel very uncomfortable after suppressing it for so long." She smiled slyly and leaned over to touch her forehead, and the moment she touched it, she disappeared.

Tao Tao also woke up. Yi Qing was still sleeping beside her. She looked at the darkness around her, but she was not afraid at all.

She sat up, her eyes deep and fixed, looking ahead.

Yiqing noticed it and thought she was having a nightmare again, so he sat up and put the blanket over her, "A Tao, are you having a nightmare again?"

Tao Tao shook her head, she looked at Yi Qing and said, "Ah Qing, can that whistle tell us where the other party is?"

Yiqing said, "Yes, what's wrong?" He pulled the blanket together with both hands, and Tao Tao grabbed his hand.

Yiqing was shocked. Tao Tao's hands were frighteningly cold, and her eyes looked even colder in the room with only a little light.

"Ah Qing, I need your help."

Yiqing came back to his senses, hugged her, and agreed without thinking: "A Tao, I will do whatever you ask me to do."

-

The next day, Meng Yin and the other two slept until noon because they were frightened the night before.

When they arrived at Tao Tao's room, they found that she was not there.

Xu Zheng asked, "Did he go out with Yiqing?"

"No, it's not." Xia Nian said in a deep voice.

The two looked at her. Xia Nian walked to the dressing table and picked up the letter that was pressed by the peach blossom hairpin on the table.

"This is..." Meng Yin saw the name on it, it was Tao Tao, and the handwriting was also hers.

Xia Nian opened it and said, "I'm afraid Taozi is no longer in the county."

Meng Yin and Xu Zheng looked at each other, then came forward to read the contents of the letter.

Yinyin, Nian Nian, Azheng. When you see this letter, I will be on my way. Don't get me wrong, I am not dead, but I am going to cut off the root of my pain with my own hands. Of course, don't worry too much, Aqing is with me, I will be fine.

Don't chase me, there are some things I have to do. In the past, I was protected by you and always hid behind you. If it weren't for you, I might have died in that apartment. I want to say that meeting you is the luckiest thing in my life.

But I cannot always be protected by you. What I always want to do is to stand with you. We are family and friends. If I am always entangled by this inner demon, spend my life in fear, or die in a nightmare, watching your backs go away, and can no longer stand with you, then I will hate my cowardice.

As long as I can continue to live happily with you, I will not hesitate even if it means forcing myself to do something I have never done before, but this is something I really want to do in my heart.

Don't worry, I will be back soon. Believe me, I am willing to give everything as long as I can stand with you and be your good friend for life.

——Tao Tao.
