Heartfelt Love Story
When the bus passed the Xiangmi Station, the driver smiled and nodded forward at her. Her face immediately turned red. It was him again.
For several months, he had almost become a regular on her bus route. There were six buses on Route 38, and it was just her luck that he could catch her bus both in the morning and in the evening. Over time, even a fool could tell that he was waiting for her on purpose. But he had never said a word to her; he would swipe his card and sit quietly in the corner, watching her.
Every time she saw him board, she would walk over and sternly ask, “Ticket, cash or card?” He wouldn’t say anything, silently taking out his bus card. She knew he used the card, but she asked anyway. Even the driver noticed that she had some feelings for him, but he just wouldn’t speak up.
That evening, it rained, and the wind and rain worsened her already bad mood. Tomorrow, this bus route would be canceled. She bumped into him.
She asked him as usual, “Card or cash?” He raised his card. She repeated, “Card or cash?” He still didn’t speak, just placed the card on the scanner. She couldn’t hold it in anymore and turned away. At that moment, he suddenly shoved a piece of paper into her hand and quickly slipped out of the bus before the door closed.
As the bus started moving, she anxiously opened the note, which read: “I like you, but I don’t know where to find you after this.”
She cried with anger. He knew the route was going to be canceled but didn’t even dare leave his contact information. Useless, useless! She vowed to forget him and quickly did.
The girl might never know that he was mute. He had been self-conscious since childhood, and whenever previous girls found out, they would avoid him. He no longer dared to speak to any girl. He was afraid she would avoid him too. All he could do was ride her bus every day and silently watch her. It had been a year, twice a day, 30 miles each way, totaling 20,000 miles.
