pick a peach essence

"what!"

Tao Tao suddenly felt that her mind went blank, as if she lost consciousness all of a sudden.

She felt that she had fallen into an endless abyss, and her soul flew out with it.

When Tao Tao woke up again, she found herself lying in Chu Xiuning's arms.

She suddenly felt very uncomfortable all over her body.

Tao Tao wanted to stand up excitedly, but she was tightly restrained by the man.

The man's hand gently touched Tao Tao's smooth neck, and Tao Tao was shocked by the cold touch.

"You, you let me go."

Tao Tao struggled to get up, but the man's strength was too great, she was really helpless.

"Do you understand this feeling?"

Chu Xiuning smiled lightly, still as gentle as before.

"My sister back then, she felt exactly like you did."

After Tao Tao heard these words, a picture suddenly appeared in her mind.

A weak girl, surrounded by a group of people, was tightly imprisoned on the ground, punched and kicked.

What Chu Xiuning said was not wrong, that girl should have felt the same way back then.

She wanted to break free, but there was nothing she could do.

"Chu Xiuning, listen to me, at that time I..."

"Shh."

Chu Xiuning suddenly stretched out a finger and placed it on Tao Tao's lips.

"Did you hear that? My sister is talking to you."

"She is asking you, why didn't you save her back then?"

"No, it's not like that!"

Tao Tao finally couldn't hold back her tears, and her tears kept flowing, dripping onto Chu Xiuning's palm one by one.

The matter about Chu Manyun was a knot in Tao Tao's heart for many years.

No matter how many times she dreamed back at midnight, she would always be awakened by those nightmares.

That is purgatory on earth, the most terrifying nightmare in this world.

It was precisely because of that incident that Tao Tao's personality was completely changed. From an optimistic and cheerful girl before, she became a cautious adult who never dared to trust others and even had some social fear.

And all of this is because of that incident a few years ago.

Tao Tao felt that Chu Xiuning's hand was tightening little by little, and her breathing rate also gradually slowed down.

Her struggling body was slowly returning to calm.

The matter has come to this point, she feels that she has nothing to be afraid of, because most of the reasons why Chu Manyun caused such a tragedy...

It is indeed because of myself.

Tao Tao felt that she gradually lost consciousness, maybe this is the best ending.

Died at the hands of the man Chu Manyun cared about the most, so that she could make up for all her mistakes.

only……

She still owes Chu Manyun an apology.

"Yes, sorry..."

After Tao Tao uttered these words in pain, she completely lost consciousness.

When she woke up again, Tao Tao found out in despair that she was still in her room.

Is this... another dream?
Really enough, why didn't he kill me?Why do you keep me in pain?
Tao Tao got off the bed all of a sudden, stood on the ground, and shouted into the air.

"Chu Xiuning! I admit that I did something wrong back then, so I am willing to make up for my mistakes."

"In this case, I beg you not to torture me anymore, okay? If you want me to pay for your sister's life, of course you can!"

"Come on, come and kill me!"

Meng Yuqian was watching TV with Wen Liang in the living room, she looked up at the clock on the wall, and found that Tao Tao had slept in the room for several hours.

She wanted to go over and call her up, but suddenly she heard her own shout coming from Tao Tao's room.

One after another, hysterical.

Meng Yuqian was taken aback, she quickly dragged Wen Liang into Tao Tao's room.

However, just as she opened the door, this was what she saw.

Tao Tao was standing on the ground with her bare feet, her eyes kept turning to look around.

What, what happened all of a sudden?
Meng Yuqian softly called Tao Tao's name, but she didn't expect her to take a few steps back as if she had been frightened.

"You, don't come here!"

Tao Tao looked at Meng Yuqian's face and suddenly felt very strange.

She is Chu Manyun?Or Meng Yuqian?
Is she looking for her own life?
"Why, it's been so long, and you still won't let me go!"

Tao Tao came to the window while crying loudly.

"Tao Tao! What are you doing!"

Meng Yuqian watched Tao Tao open the window, she panicked all of a sudden.

There were tears in the corners of the girl's eyes, and she almost knelt on the ground trembling.

"Tao Tao, calm down, I won't go over."

Wen Liang on the side frowned and looked at everything in front of him. He quietly took out his mobile phone and sent a message to someone.

"Just let me go, okay?"

Tao Tao put her hands on the windowsill while crying.

"do not want!"

Meng Yuqian stood there at a loss, she wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes, and signaled that she must calm down.

"Tao Tao, what happened to you, can you tell me?"

However, Tao Tao looked at herself as if she was looking at a stranger.

Meng Yuqian suddenly had a bad feeling in her heart.

Tao Tao's appearance is a bit like...Senior Xiao Lan, and also a bit like Li Huan.

Could it be...

"Don't worry, he'll be here soon."

Wen Liang lowered his head and whispered in Meng Yuqian's ear.

Meng Yuqian pursed her lips, forcing herself to calm down.

That's right, if he doesn't calm down now, who will save Tao Tao?
"Tao Tao, look, it's me, I'm Meng Yuqian."

Meng Yuqian moved forward cautiously and secretly while talking.

"Don't come here!"

"Okay, I won't go."

Meng Yuqian wiped the cold sweat from her forehead and stopped quickly.

She really had no choice, because Meng Yuqian was really confused now, why did Tao Tao suddenly become like this when she was fine just now?
"who are you?"

Tao Tao looked at the familiar face in front of her, really afraid that she would suddenly become another person.

"I'm Meng Yuqian, your best friend."

Meng Yuqian stretched out her hand towards Tao Tao.

"Little Taozi, have you forgotten? We spent four years together and experienced various things together."

"There are good ones and there are bad ones."

"We've all come through."

Meng Yuqian pursed her lips tightly, trying to control her trembling hands.

"Tao Tao, come here, I'll take you away, okay, if you think this place will scare you, then we'll leave."

"leave……"

Tao Tao shed tears and shook her head frantically.

"No, we, we can't go back."

She must pay for the sin she committed herself.

How to do?
Meng Yuqian turned her head and watched Wen Liang make a gesture to herself, which meant to ask her to persevere.

"Qianqian...you're not her, are you?"

she?who is she?
In Meng Yuqian's memory, Tao Tao never mentioned any girl she knew before.

"I'm not."

But now Meng Yuqian couldn't think so much anymore, so she quickly answered Tao Tao.

"I'm not her, I'm your best friend."

"friend?"

After Tao Tao heard these two, she suddenly laughed.

"my friend……"

"Don't you know? My friends are all dead..."

Meng Yuqian suddenly showed a very strange smile when she saw the girl in front of her.

This... What the hell is this?
Tao Tao gently closed her eyes, turned around, and stood on the window sill.

"do not want!"

Meng Yuqian wanted to rush over as fast as she could, but before she could move her legs, she felt a figure flying by beside her.

Then, she saw Jiang Jinchen rushing up suddenly, and at a critical moment, she hugged Tao Tao tightly in his arms.

Tao Tao thought that she had already fallen into hell, but she didn't expect that this time, what she was waiting for was her own redemption.

"Tao Tao."

Jiang Jinchen stroked the girl's messy black hair distressedly, and whispered her name in her ear.

Finally, Tao Tao couldn't bear it anymore and cried loudly.

"Woooooo...Jiang Jinchen..."

Meng Yuqian and Wen Liang finally breathed a sigh of relief, Wen Liang quickly helped Meng Yuqian who almost fainted on the ground, and then took her to rest.

But Meng Yuqian was determined to stay here.

"I want to stay here with her."

Wen Liang really couldn't speak to her, so he had no choice but to follow her wishes.

Jiang Jinchen just hugged the girl in his arms tightly for a long time.

So, the four of them stood quietly in one room for a whole night.

When it was approaching midnight, Tao Tao was carried into bed by Jiang Jinchen.

Meng Yuqian was also supported by Wen Liang to rest.

Jiang Jinchen took some hot water and gently wiped the tears on the girl's face.

"What the hell happened to you?"

Jiang Jinchen sighed, and turned on the dim desk lamp beside the bed.

He took one last look at Tao Tao, and then lay down beside Tao Tao very tiredly.

Jiang Jinchen stretched out his hand and held the girl tightly in his arms.

For some reason, the man suddenly left with the feeling that he was about to lose his girl.

Jiang Jinchen sighed softly and fell into a deep sleep.

However, this night, Tao Tao was destined not to sleep well. She felt that she had come to a familiar place, the place she had been in for three years.

Tao Tao thought, if this is not a dream, then it would be fine, so that she can make up for the mistakes she made before.

She doesn't have to continue to wake up from terrible nightmares again and again, she can completely untie the knot in her heart and be a happy person.

But now, she is no longer qualified to have happiness.

That incident was like a scar in her heart, which could not be erased no matter what.
