Because Lin Nian had assisted Lin Xiaohua—and Lin Xiaohua had adamantly insisted that her cousin, Lin Nian, was the one who ordered her to kidnap Xiao Shi—Lin Nian was not only barred from taking the college entrance exam but also faced a year in prison.

Lin Nian knew she was pregnant, but she hadn't told anyone. It was rather pathetic, really; she trusted no one as a friend or family, and so, naturally, no one trusted her.
