491: 491 Nightmare

491 Nightmare

It was already dark when they returned, and they encountered the evening rush hour. Although they took the highway, it was still filled with cars.2

 Tan Rou leaned her head against the back of the chair. She had been working on the physics questions for the entire day and hadn't rested much. Although she had rested for a while in the afternoon, she was woken up by the sound of the discussed questions and couldn't fall asleep.

 After the competition, she wanted to go back and rest early, but she was brought back to pay her respects to her ancestors. Not long ago, she recalled what happened before she was reborn. She was physically and mentally exhausted.

 Gradually, she closed her eyes.

 "Are you sleepy? Are you exhausted from today's competition?" Mrs. Tao asked.

 Tan Rou forced her eyes open again. "I'm a little sleepy. I'm going to rest for a while. Wake me up when we get home."

 Mrs. Tao took a blanket from the back of the car. "Okay, you rest for a while. I won't disturb you anymore."

 After Tan Rou covered herself with the blanket, the warm and comfortable atmosphere quickly made her fall asleep. However, what she had was not a beautiful dream but a nightmare.

 First, she dreamed of her second brother. In her previous life, his second brother had always wanted to be a photographer, but he did not become one. In the end, he died of depression. When he died, Tan Rou was right beside him. She watched the emaciated Tao Zheng close his eyes.

 She woke up from her dream. However, this was not reality. It was still a dream. Tan Rou could feel that it was a dream. This dream was about Tao Zhi. Tao Zhi wanted to continue his music career, but his hands were destroyed. Tao Zhi, who could no longer play the guitar, was depressed. His favorite guitar was broken by Tan Jing as well. With all of them happening, Tao Zhi got into a car accident and died tragically.

 Her parents and the young Tao Qi had all died tragically before her. She could not save them even if she wanted to.

 "Ah!" Tan Rou broke out in a cold sweat. It was not hot in the car, but she was still sweating.

 "Xiao Rou, what's wrong? Did you have a nightmare?" Mrs. Tao touched Tan Rou's forehead and asked with concern.

 Tan Rou wiped the cold sweat off her forehead and said, "I just dreamt I was running by the cliff. I was very tired and fell."

 Mrs. Tao touched Tan Rou's forehead and comforted her softly. "Dreams are all fake. Xiao Rou, don't be afraid. Mommy will be by your side and protect you."

 Tan Rou knew that it wasn't all fake. Some things had happened in her previous life. The fact that she had indirectly killed some of her family members in her previous life wouldn't change.

 However, she still had the chance to take care of her family. All the bad things in her life had not happened. Moreover, she had found her family and returned to her real home. No one would be able to hurt them in the future.

 "I know that dreams are fake. Those were all things that happened in a dream. They will never come true." Tan Rou said softly.

 "Xiao Rou, did you see something in the stone?" Mother Tao asked suddenly. "Did the stone affect you?"

 Tan Rou was shocked but didn't show it on her face. "I didn't see anything. I just thought that it was magical that the stone could show the previous and present life."

 Mrs. Tao pushed all the blame for Tan Rou's nightmares onto the stone. "I told them not to bring you to see that stone, but your grandfather insisted that you come and see it. In the end, you had a nightmare after seeing the stone. That stone is really unlucky."

 Tan Rou had to defend the stone. "Actually, it's not that strange. I probably had nightmares because I was too tired today."

 "Have a good rest when you get home." Mother Tao had just finished speaking when she remembered that other things were waiting for Tan Rou at home. She could only say, "You can't rest even if you go home. Your uncles and aunts are all waiting for you to go back."

Mother Tao gave her daughter a brief introduction to the Tao family. Grandpa Tao's generation had three brothers, while Mr. Tao had four siblings: three boys and one girl. The daughter was the youngest. Father Tao was the eldest, Second Uncle Tao had a son and an adopted daughter, Mr. Tao's third brother had a son, and her aunt had two sons.

 In Tan Rou's generation, she was the only biological daughter. Before she came back, only the Tao family knew that the Tao family had another daughter. Outsiders thought that the Tao family only had one daughter, Tao Yue.

 "There aren't many girls at home. When you come back in the future, you have to get along well with Sister Yueyue. Sister Yueyue is very kind. You will like her."

 Tan Rou laughed coldly in her heart and nodded, "I understand, Mom." She already knew that Tao Yue could not get along well with her.
