Chapter 3
Fall into a snare
---Luo ru xian jing
One Saturday evening, White Swan took me to
one corner of the school campus. We stood under a
big Poplar tree. She seemed to be laden with anxiety.
She didn’t say even one word on the way.
“Why are you in low spirits?” I asked.
“I think I’m pregnant,” She said.
I was startled and asked her in a hurry, “How do
you know that?”
“My menstruation always came regularly. It
would appear once a month. But this time, it has not
appeared on time, ever since you did it with me. I’m
afraid that I’m pregnant.”
“Do you have any other signs?”
