Chapter 42 Communication
Just when I was feeling the mood, a Japanese girl in school uniform came to me and looked at me carefully. I felt embarrassed. Did I take her seat? But this should be public!
As soon as I was about to stand up and leave, I saw her showing a happy expression, then bowed and said a lot of things that I couldn't understand. Looking at her excited appearance, I suspected that I had met a madman, or that she mistakenly thought I was that star, and I wanted to go back and look in the mirror. Will there be a bonus for the charm value after becoming a monster?
I opened the book in my hand and pointed to the first sentence for her to show it. This textbook was compiled very interestingly. It was entirely for those who do not have any Japanese foundation. There are many common sentences in daily life on the first page, and they are both in Chinese and Japanese.
The first sentence is: I'm sorry, I'm Chinese and I can't understand what you said.
This sentence is indeed very lethal. The Japanese female student was stunned for a moment. I think the person who compiled this textbook is so talented. She can return to China to work at the Ministry of Education. The domestic textbooks are too outdated and cannot keep up with the times at all. We must emphasize practicality and fun, so that students can’t learn.
She is worthy of being a student at Waseda University. After a little stunned, she took out her paper and pen, and then started drawing it with a pencil on the paper. In a short while, a vivid sketch was completed. I am very familiar with the scene on the picture. It was a car accident scene, with a man blocking the car with his hands, and there was a woman lying on the ground behind him.
The female student pointed at herself, then pointed at the woman on the drawing... It's not that coincidental. Tokyo is very big. Could it be that she is the girl I rescued in front of Matsuya Department Store?
I am a little sensitive to coincidences now. Since the night half a month ago, a series of coincidences have happened in my life. Some are artificially arranged, and some I don’t know what happened. For example, I was able to meet Murong Shui in the red light district the night before yesterday. I just wanted to find a Chinese restaurant at home.
It feels like there is a net of fate. When everyone encounters with others, a node will form a node. All nodes form a large net that cannot be escaped, and that is fate.
The girl wrote down her name in Chinese characters on the paper. Shizuko Miyamoto, I took out my newly-produced ID certificate, which was a formal introduction.
In fact, sometimes communication is very simple. As long as you are willing to listen, you can communicate with each other. We sit on a bench, look at the textbook in my hand, and find common topics, such as daily life, using gestures and pictures to describe what each other wants to express. This silent communication is very interesting, very much like a guessing game. Of course, sometimes misunderstandings and jokes will occur, but after understanding the other person’s meaning, we will smile knowingly.
This is a very pleasant experience. I am not a person who is good at talking, and this method like online chat is very good. At least, people in two different countries who are not good at languages gradually gain understanding and understanding.
The sun sets and night falls, and the street lights on campus start working, and I waved goodbye to this Japanese girl.
