愛
張愛玲
這是真的。
有個村莊的小康之家的女孩子，生得美，有許多人來做媒，但都沒有說成。那年她不過十五六歲吧，是春天的晚上，她立在後門口，手扶著桃樹。她記得她穿的是一件月白的衫子。對門住的年輕人同她見過面，可是從來沒有打過招呼的，他走了過來，離得不遠，站定了，輕輕的說了一聲：“噢，你也在這裡嗎？”她沒有說什麼，他也沒有再說什麼，站了一會，各自走開了。
就這樣就完了。
後來這女子被親眷拐子賣到他鄉外縣去作妾，又幾次三番地被轉賣，經過無數的驚險的風波，老了的時候她還記得從前那一回事，常常說起，在那春天的晚上，在後門口的桃樹下，那年輕人。
於千萬人之中遇見你所遇見的人，於千萬年之中，時間的無涯的荒野裡，沒有早一步，也沒有晚一步，剛巧趕上了，那也沒有別的話可說，惟有輕輕的問一聲：“噢，你也在這裡嗎？”
