《偶遇》- Complete story

Post by xiaozhans_xfx___ »

Hello everyone, tis xiaozhans_xfx___ again @_@ this is a repost of my story from the old forum that's apparently being shut down. I did alter the translation a bit to make it read more smoothly in English. Hope y'all enjoy my story :3

The plotline of this story is ficticious and has nothing to do with events of real life.

A story I improvised lol. Hope you all enjoy it~ English translation and some words you may not know included at end

小叶是一个普通的女生,是加拿大人。她过着简单的生活,跟父亲和母亲一起住。有一天,小叶在超市买东西。苹果、白菜、鸡蛋、她都买了。但是,她突然看到了一个男生,又高又帅。他看起来有点迷路。他往她走。

男生:请问小姐,从这里到中国饭店怎么走?

小叶很惊讶的,好像这位男生就是她的偶像!小叶紧张地回答了:

小叶:就在这超市的后面。先生,难道,你是肖战吗?

男生笑了。
男生:对。

小叶一听非常高兴,非常紧张,话都说不出来。她下一步该怎么做!?

小叶的话都说不出来,但是她很紧张地说:

小叶:你-- 我会带你去饭店,怎么样?

肖战:好。

小叶先去收银员买她的东西,然后跟肖战一起去饭店。

小叶:好,我们到达了!

肖战:多谢你。现在是中午十二点了,还有你已经在饭店。。你想跟我一起吃饭吗?

小叶不信她听了对。她的偶像,肖战,真的想跟她一起吃饭吗!?她口吃了:

小叶:好--好。我们一起吃吧。

他们两个坐下。附近的服务员觉得她认出肖战,马上去帮他们。

服务员:您们想点菜吗?

肖战:嗯,可以。【面对小叶】你想吃什么?

小叶又口吃了。
小叶:嗯。。叉烧、汤圆、绿茶。

服务员:先生呢?

肖战:我要牛肉面条、水饺、咖啡。

服务员:好。请问这位先生,您是否肖战?

肖战:是的。

服务员:真的吗?我--我可以跟你自拍吗??

肖战:可以啊!小姐,你也想跟我们自拍吗?

跟肖战自拍就是小叶的梦想。

小叶:当然!

他们用服务员的手机和小叶的手机拍照。拍完照,服务员走了。 等菜来中,肖战面对小叶开始聊天。

肖战:你是我的粉丝吗?

小叶:对,看《陈情令》以后开始做你的粉丝。

肖战:哦,我懂了。我知道我没有太多加拿大粉丝,很高心认识一位。你叫什么名字?

小叶:啊,谢谢啦~ 我叫小叶。但是,你为什么来到加拿大?

肖战:叹息人生很忙。现在我有时间,想去旅游,放松一下。

小叶:非常好。我明白,做演员很忙。

服务员:两位,菜来了!

吃完饭以后,小叶和肖战买单,然后出去了。

肖战:请问小叶,你知道我在哪里可以住宿?我不太知道~

小叶:嗯,有一家五星级酒店离这里不太远,叫《黑笛红线酒店》。你可以坐公共汽车到那里。

肖战:好。他们的服务员会说中文吗?我的英文不太好。

小叶:其实,我不知道。我陪你一起去,怎么样?

肖战:谢谢,小叶。你是一个好朋友。

小叶和肖战一起坐公共汽车到酒店,去酒店的前台。

服务员:Hello! How may I help you?

小叶: Hello! By chance, do you speak Mandarin?

服务员:Sorry, I don't. Are you looking for a room?

小叶:Yes, this gentleman here is, however, he doesn't speak English very well. I will help him book the room.

服务员:Ok. Our rooms are $100 per night. We have several rooms available, can you ask your friend about which one he would like? We have two on the second floor, room 216 and room 228, and one on the third floor, room 308. We also have a gym and a dining hall on the first floor, everyone can use it.

小叶:战哥哥*,他们的房间是一晚一百块。他们有三个房间;二楼二一六室、二楼二二八室、和三楼三零八室。一楼还有体育馆和餐厅,大家都可以用。

肖战:哦,好。我选二楼二二八室。

小叶:【对服务员】He would like room 228.

服务员:Alright, here is your key.

肖战拿了键,面对小叶。

肖战:那我先走了去房间。可惜我们这么早要分开。。你有没有微信?

小叶又不信她听了对。她的有2700万多粉丝的偶像真的想跟她微信上聊天!?小叶马上回答了:

小叶:嗯,有啊。你想。。在微信上聊天吗?

肖战:嗯。

--

用左手拿手机,右手拿菜,小叶冲了回家。手机屏幕上有她跟肖战的聊天。她一开正门就大声地说:

小叶:爸!妈!你们猜猜今天我遇见了谁!

结束

希望你们喜欢我的故事后会有期^^


English translation:

Title of story: 《Unexpected Encounter》

Xiao Ye is an ordinary Canadian girl. She has a simple life with her parents. One day, Xiao Ye went shopping at the supermarket. Apples, Chinese cabbage, and eggs; she bought them all. But, suddenly, she saw a man who was both tall and handsome. He looked a little bit lost. He walked towards her.

Man: Excuse me miss, how do I get to the Chinese restaurant from here?

Xiao Ye was surprised, it seemed like this man was her idol! Nervously, Xiao Ye replied:

Xiao Ye: It's just behind this supermarket. Sir, by chance, are you Xiao Zhan?

The man smiled.
Man: Yes.

As soon as she heard this, Xiao Ye was extremely happy but also extremely nervous. She couldn't say anything at all. What should she do next!?


Xiao Ye's words were not coming out of her mouth, but she said nervously:

Xiao Ye: You-- I will take you to the restaurant, how about that?

Xiao Zhan: OK.

Xiao Ye first went to the cashier to buy her things, and then went to the restaurant with Xiao Zhan.

Xiao Ye: Alright, we've arrived!

Xiao Zhan: Thank you very much. It's twelve o'clock noon now, and you are already at a restaurant.. Do you want to eat with me?

Xiao Ye didn't believe she heard it right. Her idol, Xiao Zhan, really wants to eat with her!? She stuttered:

Xiao Ye: O-okay. Let's eat together.

The two of them sat down. A nearby waiter felt that she recognized Xiao Zhan and went to help them immediately.

Waiter: Do you want to order?

Xiao Zhan: Yes, yes. [Facing Xiao Ye] What would you like to eat?

Xiao Ye stuttered again.
Xiao Ye: Hmm.. Barbecued pork, glutinous rice balls, green tea.

Waiter: Sir, how about you?

Xiao Zhan: I want beef noodles, dumplings, and coffee.

(I know this is a huge lunch, but I wanted to include many foods so you all could review them)

Waiter: Ok. May I ask this gentleman, are you Xiao Zhan?

Xiao Zhan: Yes I am.

Waiter: Really? I-- can I take a selfie with you??

Xiao Zhan: Yes! Miss, do you want to take a selfie with us too?

Taking a selfie with Xiao Zhan is Xiao Ye's dream.

Xiao Ye: Of course!

They used the waiter's cell phone and Xiao Ye's cell phone to take pictures. After the photo was taken, the waiter left. While waiting for the dishes to come, Xiao Zhan faced Xiao Ye and started chatting.

Xiao Zhan: Are you my fan?

Xiao Ye: Yes, I started to be your fan after watching "The Untamed".

Xiao Zhan: Oh, I see. I know I don't have many Canadian fans, and I am very happy to meet one. What's your name?

Xiao Ye: Ah, thank you~ My name is Xiao Ye. But why did you come to Canada?

Xiao Zhan: Sigh, life is very busy. Now I have time, I want to travel and relax.

Xiao Ye: Very nice. I understand that being an actor is very busy.

Waiter: You two, here's your food!

After eating, Xiao Ye and Xiao Zhan paid the bill and went out.

Xiao Zhan: May I ask, Xiao Ye, do you know where I can stay for the night? I don't really know~

Xiao Ye: Yeah, there is a five-star hotel not too far from here, called "Black Flute Red String Hotel". You can get there by bus.

Xiao Zhan: Alright. Does their waiter speak Chinese? My English is not very good.

Xiao Ye: Actually, I don't know. How about I accompany you?

Xiao Zhan: Thank you, Xiao Ye. You are a good friend.

Xiao Ye and Xiao Zhan took a bus to the hotel together and went to the front desk of the hotel.

Waiter: Hello! How may I help you?

Xiao Ye: Hello! By chance, do you speak Mandarin?

Waiter: Sorry, I don't. Are you looking for a room?

Xiao Ye: Yes, this gentleman here is, however, he doesn't speak English very well. I will help him book the room.

Waiter: Ok. Our rooms are $100 per night. We have several rooms available, can you ask your friend about which one he would like? We have two on the second floor, room 216 and room 228, and one on the third floor, room 308. We also have a gym and a dining hall on the first floor, everyone can use it.

Xiao Ye: Big Brother Zhan*, their room is 100 yuan a night. They have three rooms; Room 216 on the second floor, Room 228 on the second floor, and Room 308 on the third floor. There is also a gymnasium and dining hall on the first floor.

Xiao Zhan: Oh, okay. I choose room 228 on the second floor

Xiao Ye: [To the waiter] He would like room 228.

Waiter: Alright, here is your key.

Xiao Zhan took the key and faced Xiao Ye.

Xiao Zhan: Then I will go to the room first. It is a pity that we have to separate so early.. do you have WeChat?

Xiao Ye didn't believe that she heard right again. Her idol with more than 27 million fans really wants to chat with her on WeChat!? Xiao Ye immediately replied:

Xiao Ye: Yes, I do. Do you want.. to chat on WeChat?

Xiao Zhan: Yes.

Holding the mobile phone in her left hand and vegetables in her right hand, Xiao Ye rushed home. On her phone screen is the chat between her and Xiao Zhan. As soon as she opened the front door, she said loudly:

Xiao Ye: Dad! Mom! Guess who I met today!

The End
