Late at Night, Do You Turn off Your CeII Phone?深夜，你關(guān)機(jī)了嗎？

·Anonymous·

The girl would turn her cell phone off and put it by her photo on the desk every night before going to bed. This habit has been with her ever since she bought the phone.

The girl had a very close boyfriend. When they couldn't meet, they would either call or send messages to each other.They both liked this type of communication.

One night, the boy really missed the girl. When he called her, however, the girl's cell phone was off because she was already asleep.The next day, the boy asked the girl to leave her cell phone on at night because when he needed to find her and could not, he would be worried.

From that day forth, the girl began a new habit. Her cell phone never shuts down at night.Because she was afraid that she might not be able to hear the phone ring in her sleep, she tried to stay very aIert.As days passed, she became thinner and thinner.Slowly, a gap began to form between them.

The girl wanted to revive their relationship. On one night, she called the boy.However, what she got was a sweet femaIe voice，“Sorry, the subscriber you dailed is power-off.”

The girl knew that her love has just been turned off.

After a long time, the girl has a new love. No matter how well they got along, the girl however refused to get married.In the girl's heart, she always remembered that boy's words and the night when that phone was power-off.

The girl still keeps the habit of leaving her cell phone on all throughout the night, but not expecting that it'll ring.

One night, the girl caught ill. In moment of fIuster, instead of calling her parents, she dialed the new boy's cell phone.The boy was already asleep but his cell phone was still on.

Later, the girl asked the boy，“Why don't you turn your cell phone off at night?”

The boy answered，“I'm afraid that if you need anything at night and aren't able to find me, you'll worry.”

The girl finaIIy married the boy.

逸名

女孩每晚在睡覺(jué)前都會(huì)先關(guān)掉手機(jī)，然后把它放在寫(xiě)字臺(tái)上自己的相框旁，這個(gè)習(xí)慣從買(mǎi)了手機(jī)開(kāi)始就這樣保持著。

女孩有個(gè)很親密的男朋友，兩個(gè)人無(wú)法見(jiàn)面的時(shí)候，就打電話(huà)或發(fā)短信，他們都喜歡這樣的聯(lián)絡(luò)方式。

有一天夜里，男孩很想念女孩，打了電話(huà)過(guò)去卻發(fā)現(xiàn)已經(jīng)關(guān)機(jī)，因?yàn)榕⒁呀?jīng)睡了。第二天，男孩對(duì)女孩說(shuō)：“以后晚上不要關(guān)機(jī)，好嗎？我想你的時(shí)候卻找不到你，我的心會(huì)不安。”

從那以后，女孩養(yǎng)成了一個(gè)新習(xí)慣——整夜都不關(guān)機(jī)。因?yàn)楹ε履泻⒋螂娫?huà)來(lái)自己睡得太熟而聽(tīng)不到，女孩夜夜都很警醒，長(zhǎng)此以往，人也日漸消瘦。然而，慢慢地，兩個(gè)人之間還是有了裂痕。

女孩很想挽回這段感情，便在一個(gè)深夜給男孩打電話(huà)，她聽(tīng)到的卻是一個(gè)甜美的女聲：“對(duì)不起，你所撥打的電話(huà)已關(guān)機(jī)?！?/p>

于是女孩知道，她的愛(ài)情已經(jīng)關(guān)機(jī)了。

很久以后，女孩有了另一場(chǎng)愛(ài)情。雖然兩個(gè)人在一起的感覺(jué)也很好，但女孩怎么也不肯嫁給他，因?yàn)榕⒔?jīng)常會(huì)想起那個(gè)男孩的話(huà)和那個(gè)關(guān)機(jī)的夜。

女孩還是保持著整夜不關(guān)機(jī)的習(xí)慣，只是不再期待它會(huì)響起。

一天夜里，女孩身染急癥，慌亂之中把本想撥給父母的電話(huà)撥到了新男友那里。男孩早已睡下，但手機(jī)還開(kāi)著。

后來(lái)女孩問(wèn)這個(gè)男孩：“為什么深夜還不關(guān)機(jī)？”

男孩說(shuō)：“我怕你夜里有事找不到我，會(huì)心慌?！?/p>

女孩最終嫁給了這個(gè)男孩。
