OK !\I’m beginning my cute mouse story about that hot summer night!———-。That year, we had a very hot summer. One day, I arrived at HangZhou trail station by myself. After getting off (leaving) the train, the first thing I needed/wanted to do was look for a place to stay.-[[The first thing I needed to do was to look for my lodging.]So, I went directly to HangZhou University, and asked if they have a empty room for a foreign student.That staff showed me was a room with twin beds and air conditioning; it was not bad.
During this hot summer vocation, foreign students went on a trip or went back to their homeland, [They try to take advantage of this hot summer vocation .]therefore, I guessed (or Naturally, ) there were some vacant(empty?) rooms.
As for me, the foreign student`s dormitory room is not only cheaper than a hotel,but also more safer than a cheap Chinese style inn( ‘旅馆 ‘or ‘招待所’。)., so I was satisfied.
During the daytime, I was excited about wandering around the entire downtown area.When I came back to my room at night, I washed away all the dirt and sweat I accumulated(모이다, 쌓이다, 축적되다) from wandering town.
Then, I turned the air conditioner on.(even though, it was old and loud, but it was a faithful air conditioner that was working very hard.~~♪) When I was laying on the bed, reading and writing something, I suddenly felt strange. I felt like someone was there with me.Who?Who was here?I looked at here and there, right and left, all around, but no one was there. (There was no one or thing there.)Just only there`s one empty bed at my bed`s right side.So I tried to write again, but I could not get rid of that feeling.Who?
What on earth is he/she?At that moment someone passed by my side very fast.So I kept looking around whole room with glaring eyes.
Aaa ~~~K！！！！！UhooKKK～～～！！！！！！！I found it－－－－－！！！was him?her?I didn`t know he or she?
But it’s certain that there’s pudgy buttocks in front of me.His pudgy and big buttocks were exposed under the bed.Oh~~yeah !pudgy! pudgy !! ! It was not a petite buttocks, never! NOT AT ALL!!~ I guess ~~He came to visit me (Sleeping Beauty?)? or not?
If not he also needed that empty clean/comfortable bed with air conditioner?OK, then after? I don`t need tell you~~One worker/staff came and checked around the room and finally concluded that “There is not a mouse here, maybe you saw wrong. There is not a mouse hole anywhere.”
hahaha~~ So?There was nothing I could do.＾＾That summer night I had slept with a pudgy mouse.How was it?When I think back (about?) anything, it is coming up to me with beautiful/ sweet.(When I think about the mouse, I remember it was a beautiful and sweet mouse.) I miss that one month journey that I went on my first backpacking trip in China just by myself。bye~~, everybody! Have a good dream!
Oh, If you meet a mouse that summer night sleep with me, please tell him I said hello ~~—~♬~♪~
