同样的座位，同样的衣着，同样清秀的背影，同样的红头绳和麻花辫。有几次，我有意侧过身想看一下她的脸。但她好像察觉到什么一样，把头转向另一边。难道是她发现了我的举动？我心里暗暗地在想:下次坐车一定要坐到前面，哪怕没座位也要站在车前。唉！对了，可以在车站等她啊。而且一定要找机会和她搭讪，问个电话号码什么的。

The same seat and same clothes. Same delicate view of her back, same red hair-tie and braid. A few times, I tried to pass by her so I could take a look at her face, but she always seemed to know what was up and turn her head to the other side. Is it possible that she knew what I was trying to do? In my head I was secretly thinking: ‘Next time I take the bus, I’ll sit up front. Even if there's no seats, I'll just stand there. Oh, I got it! I can wait for her at the bus stop'. Then I'll definitely have an chance to strike up a conversation and ask for her numer or something.
