I’ve been thinking a<\/em>bout 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.<\/p>\n

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 o<\/em>nline Short Stories” session.<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n

The Eyes Behind Me [3]<\/p>\n

“Yes, it’s me.”<\/p>\n

My heart pounded fast.<\/p>\n

“Did I scare you? Sorry. “<\/p>\n

o<\/em>nce again I saw the smile that I used to be so familiar with.<\/p>\n

He came up to me closer and closer.<\/p>\n

The still-shut book store gave us a little space to stand.<\/p>\n

“Why didn’t you say hello to me?”<\/p>\n

I asked him, gazing into those eyes that were as bright as the way they were in my memories.<\/p>\n

“It has been thirteen years, I couldn’t tell whether it was you.”<\/p>\n

Time flies!<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

“Thirteen years already? I must have grown old.”<\/p>\n

I escaped his eyes.<\/p>\n

“No. You have more charms than in those days.” He smiled.<\/p>\n

I tried to stay calm:”When did you come here?”<\/p>\n

“A few days ago, on a business trip, I saw you on the street since yesterday afternoon. I was trying to figure out whether it was you.”<\/p>\n

I pulled my collar together, he noticed the ring on my finger.<\/p>\n

He turned his head away, and asked me again:<\/p>\n

“Are you hurrying to work?”<\/p>\n

I nodded.<\/p>\n

“May I invite you for dinner tonight? As an old classmate of you… may I?”<\/p>\n

He waited for my reply quietly.<\/p>\n

…. ….<\/p>\n

“OK,” I said, “let’s meet here at 6:30?”<\/p>\n

“Deal.”
