I’ve been thinking about writing a colloquial Chinese short story on Beginner level for a while, but it turns out that it’ll be much easier to tell a complete story on Elementary level instead of Beginner’s. To check out how reading levels are rated, please click here.  My dear readers, I’ll also need your feedback to help me understand the difficulty level of my writing.

I’ve always been thinking that Chinese language could be more approachable to the world if enough reading materials on different levels could be available for learners to read, especially for adult learners. That is also the main goal I’m trying to reach in this “Learn Chinese online Short Stories” session.

Before you begin to read this 4500-character Elementary level short story, I’d suggest that you run through the vocab table first to get familiar with the new words. That way your actual reading process might be much smoother. At the end of each part, there will be a short quiz to test your comprehension.

我身后的眼睛 [2]
 

于是, 我早早地睡下了.

第二天一早, 精神好多了.

把女儿送到学校后, 我就坐地铁到了市中心.

从地铁站到公司要在市区走二十多分钟.

我尽量和上班的人群走在一起.

可是没过多长时间, 那种感觉又来了!!

是的, 是有一双眼睛在盯着我,这绝对不是幻觉!

 

下一个路口右转就是书店的大门.

我刚一右转就躲进了书店的门口.

我睁大了眼睛, 看着身后的人流从我面前走过.

突然, 一个穿黑色风衣的身影在右转后的路口停了下来.

那双失去了目标的眼睛焦急地东张西望, 直到它最终发现了书店门口的我.

在他的注视下, 我突然无语.

四目相对, 他竟然也呆住了.

曾以为这一生都不会再与他相见!

可是这一刻, 他是这样真实地面对着我!

“是你吗?”

对面的他问我.

The Eyes Behind Me [2]

So I went to bed early.
The next day, I felt much better.
After I dropped my daughter off at school, I took the subway downtown.
There is about twenty-minute walk from subway station to my company.
I tried to walk with the crowd as much as I could.
But not long after that the feeling came back!!
Yes, there was a pair of eyes that were watching me, this was not my imagination!
The next right turn was the entrance to a book store.
I hid inside the entrance as soon as I had made the right turn.
I opened my eyes wide, watching the people that were behind me pass by.
Suddenly, a figure in a black coat stopped right at the corner.
The eyes that had lost their target were searching around anxiously, until they spotted me at the book store entrance.
Under his gaze, I was speechless all of a sudden.
When our eyes met, he was stupified too.
I thought I could never meet him again in my whole lifetime!
However at that moment, he was facing me and so real!
“Is that you?”, he asked me.
