The Love from a Stranger陌生人的爱

1st December 2015  /  life upon life, significant story

Once I thought that only familiar friends will be warm to you, but I was wrong. The friendship between people are beautiful, a little kindness of strangers can make your heart a flower blooming. Yesterday I go to the washroom, after bath and wear clothes, I prepared to take the shoes back to the dormitory, but I found a "burly" girls just standing in front of the lockers next to me. Because of people walking back and forth, my shoes have moved to the ground next to the locker, and she was apparently unaware of its existence. I stared at the back of her head, water dripping along with her hair, arms are wet. It must be a long time to wait for her to finish, I am in a hurry, so I said loudly to her: "Excuse me, classmates, do you please move away for me?" 

She immediately stopped  and quickly moves to one side. I squatted down to take the shoes, but my shoelace unexpectedly hook to the nails of storage content, and that place was small space below, shoes can’t move. I am upset and try a few times, and failed. At that time, the girl next to me also squatted down, and stretched out carefully to help me get out of the shoe, and finally succeeded. Air was cool in early winter, but she didn’t wear clothes, westerly wind through the window gap blew into the bathroom, people would chatter, not to mention her stained with drops of water. I never thought that there would be someone to help me, but she, a completely stranger, didn’t sit on the sidelines, and with enthusiasm to help me. This was indeed a surprise and a moved to me, the strangers can also have a good friendship. A small act of kindness warm throughout the rainy season, I would like to take this memory and loaded into the back of the pack, when I encountered the life in the winter, it can melt the ice of my heart.

曾经,我以为只有熟识好友才会对你热情相待,可是我错了。人与人之间的情谊美丽无比,陌生人的一个小小善举也能让人心底绽开一朵花。昨天我去浴室洗澡,穿好衣服,准备拿鞋回宿舍,却发现一位比较“魁梧”的女孩子恰好站在我旁边的储物柜前擦头发,我的鞋因为人来回走动,已经移到了旁边柜子的地面,而她,显然没有意识到它的存在。我盯着她的后脑勺,水珠顺着她的头发向下滴,后背手臂都是湿的。等她擦完肯定要好一会,唉,我急着回去啊,我只好大声话说道:“对不起,同学,请让一下好吗?”她刚听见就立刻停止了擦头发的动作,迅速地让到了一边。我蹲下拿鞋,可人一急就做不成事,我的鞋带竟钩到储物柜上的钉子上了,下面空间又小,鞋便卡在那不动了。我心烦气躁地又尝试了几次,还是不行。这时,一旁的那位女孩子也蹲了下来,伸出手小心翼翼地帮我把鞋带弄出来,最后终于成功了。她还没穿衣服呢,初冬时节,空气已是很凉,阵阵西风透过窗隙钻进浴室里,冷得人直打颤,更何况她的身上还沾着水珠呢!我从未想过会有人来帮我,可她不是冷眼旁观,而是热情地帮助我——一个完完全全的陌生人。这的确是我意外的惊喜与感动,原来陌生人间也可以拥有美好的情谊啊。一间小小的善举温暖了整个雨季,我要把这份回忆装进背上的行囊,当我遇到人生的冬季时,它可以融化心灵的坚冰。
