At the center of Westbridge University stood an old oak tree—and beside it, theCommunity Board.
It was a cluttered space where students posted everything from lost cat flyers to band auditions.
And starting one rainy October morning, someone began postingsmall notesat the corner of the board.
Short. Simple. Mysterious.
“Somewhere on this campus, someone laughs like falling leaves.”
Elena noticed the first one while rushing to class.
She smiled, then forgot about it.
Until the next week:
“Someone hums songs in the library without realizing it.”
And the week after:
“Someone looks up at the sky between classes and makes a wish.”
Each note was unsigned.
Each felt oddly... personal.
After a month, Elena finally replied.
She tacked up a post-it just below the newest note:
“Maybe you're describing everyone. Maybe you're describing me.”
The following week, a new message appeared:
“If it’s you— Meet me by the oak tree, Friday, sunset.”
Heart pounding, Elena almost didn't go.
But when Friday came, and the sky turned pink, she found herself standing beneath the old oak tree.
For a moment, no one was there.
Then someone stepped from behind the tree—
A boy, holding a notepad covered in messy handwriting.
He smiled, a little nervous.
“I was hoping,” he said, “you’d be the one who noticed.”
Elena laughed—the kind of laugh that sounded exactly like falling leaves.

中文全文翻译公告栏上的便签
在西桥大学的中心，矗立着一棵老橡树——
旁边就是校园公告栏。
公告栏上总是乱糟糟的，
贴满了寻猫启事、乐队招募广告，还有各种活动通知。
从十月一个雨天的早晨开始，
有人在角落悄悄贴起了小便签。
短短的。简单的。神秘的。
“在这个校园某处，有人笑起来像落叶一样。”
埃琳娜在赶去上课的路上看到了第一张。
她笑了笑，然后忘了。
直到下一周：
“有人在图书馆里不自觉地哼歌。”
再下一周：
“有人在课间抬头看天，并默默许愿。”
每一张便条都没有署名。
但每一张，
都让人觉得格外……贴近心事。
过了一个月，埃琳娜终于回了信。
她在最新便签下面钉了一张小纸条：
“也许你在说每一个人。 也许，你在说我。”
接下来的那一周，公告栏上又出现了新信息：
“如果是你—— 星期五，日落时，老橡树下见。”
心跳加速，埃琳娜几乎想打退堂鼓。
但星期五傍晚，当天空泛起粉红色，
她还是走到了老橡树下。
一开始，那里空无一人。
然后，
一个男孩从树后走了出来——
手里拿着一本潦草写满便条的笔记本。
他微笑着，有点紧张地说：
“我一直希望，
注意到我的人，是你。”
埃琳娜笑了——
那笑声，就像秋天飘落的叶子一样温柔。
