HSK 3Chapter 4 of 4372 characters
星期五早上
Friday morning
星期五,林小雨六点就起床了。七点,她到了公司楼下。外面还在下雨,一楼很安静,王师傅还没来。门口左边没有伞。她坐在旁边的椅子上,等着。
七点二十分,门开了。一个穿着雨衣的男人走了进来,手里拿着一把新的红伞。他把伞放在门口左边,又看了看,好像很满意。然后,他回过头来,看见了林小雨。这一次,林小雨看清楚了:是周文。
两个人都没有说话。过了一会儿,周文把耳机拿了下来,有点儿不好意思:“星期一,我看见你拿伞了。”
他说,三年前,他刚来这个城市,还没找到工作。有一天,外面下着大雨,他要来这个楼里的一家公司见经理,可是他没有伞。一个不认识的阿姨在门口把自己的红伞给了他:“拿去用吧,用完了,放回来就行。”那天,他得到了这里的工作,可是他再也没有见过那个阿姨。“所以,每次伞不见了,我就再放一把。”他说,“伞上的大熊猫,是我自己画的。”
林小雨看着他。坐在她旁边半年的这个人,她好像今天才认识。“这件事,你别告诉别人。”周文说。“好。”林小雨想了想,“那下一把伞,我来买,行吗?”周文笑了。这是林小雨第一次看见他笑。
