I opened my eyes and found myself still at the door of the dormitory. This time, someone came out.

It was Xiao Xiao.

When she saw me, she was stunned for a moment, then became flustered and asked me hesitantly why I was here.

"Xiao Xiao, you're pregnant, aren't you?"

Xiao Xiao was taken aback. At first, she stammered to refute it, then pretended to be tough and asked me how I knew, and finally, tears streamed down her face. She grabbed my arm and begged me not to tell anyone.

I didn't say anything, I just looked at her. Her tears fell onto the back of my hand, scalding my heart.

"I don't know anything, but someone told me that there are no good people here. If that's the case, you're too innocent," I said.

Cao Yan does indeed resemble the pregnant woman more than Xiao Xiao. But something felt strange to me. So I decided to test Xiao Xiao.

Unexpectedly, it turned out to be true. If Xiao Xiao is the pregnant woman the woman who was combing her hair mentioned, then what about Cao Yan? Why were they arguing, and what secret was she worried about others finding out?

I pressed Xiao Xiao for the identity of the child's father, and she cried even harder, constantly pleading with me.

"Li Qing, I beg you, please don't tell anyone. He promised to take me away. We'll leave tomorrow night, and we can leave together. You, me, and Cao Yan, we can all leave this place."

I wanted to refuse, but I felt a splitting headache.

What does leaving, leaving this place represent? Does it mean we won't get beaten, scolded, or have to hide in the bathroom and cry without making a sound?

Zhang Xiaoxuan asked me to save them. If we run away with Xiao Xiao, does that count as being saved?
