（第七帧里的女孩）

English Version

Leo found the first photo at a flea market,
tucked inside a box labeled"Misc. Memories – 5 for £1".

It was a Polaroid—faded at the corners,
showing a London bookstore front,
and in the left corner, blurred but visible,
a girl with a red scarf, mid-laugh.

He bought five random photos.
Later, at home, while sorting through them,
he froze.

The same girlappeared again.
Different photo, different place—
a park bench this time,
autumn leaves at her feet,
a thermos in hand.

Frame 7.
Always the seventh photo.

He checked again.
In three separate Polaroids from different vendors,
she was always inframe seven.
Not posed.
Not centered.
Just… passing by.
Laughing. Reading. Looking up.

Something about it didn’t feel like coincidence.

He started collecting.
Old Polaroids from secondhand stores, junk boxes, garage sales.
And every time he found a batch—he flipped to the seventh.

More often than not,
she was there.

He gave her a nickname in his notebook:
“7G” — Girl in Frame 7.

A year passed.
He found over 19 photos.
All different cities, all different seasons.
All with her in that fleeting, unnoticed corner.

Then one day, at a photography exhibit in Camden,
he spotted a wall of Polaroids.
He almost walked past—
until his eyes fell on frame 7.

Her.
Red scarf.
Camera in hand.
Lookingdirectly into the lens.

And below it, a small tag:

“To the one who kept finding me. If you’re reading this: Let’s stop passing by. Saturday. 3PM. Regent’s Park, under the iron gazebo.”

Leo stood there for a long moment.
Heart racing.

Saturday came.
3PM.
The park was quiet, golden with late sunlight.

She was there.
No scarf this time—
just a Polaroid camera around her neck,
and a smile that said:
“I’ve been looking for you too.”

中文全文翻译第七帧里的女孩

利奥在跳蚤市场第一次发现那张照片，
它藏在一个标着 “杂项回忆——五张一英镑” 的纸箱中。

那是一张拍立得，边角泛黄，
画面中是伦敦某书店的门口，
而左下角——模糊却清晰地，
有一个红围巾女孩，正笑着经过。

他随手挑了五张。
回家整理时，
他突然停住了。

同一个女孩又出现了。
这次背景是公园长椅，
脚边满是秋叶，手握一个保温壶。

是第七张。

他再次检查其他批次的照片——
不同卖家、不同城市，
她总在第七张里。

不是主角，
不是特写，
只是恰好路过，
在读书、在笑、在抬头望天。

他开始留意。
收集更多拍立得——二手店、跳蚤市场、旧纸箱。

几乎每次，第七帧里，她都在。

他在笔记本中给她起了个代号：
“7G”——第七帧的女孩。

一年过去，
他已找到19张她的踪迹，
城市变换，季节交替，
而她总是那么不经意地出现。

直到某天，在卡姆登的一个摄影展上，
他在一整面拍立得墙前驻足。

第七帧——她。
红围巾，
手持相机，
这次直视镜头。

照片下是一张小卡片：

“写给那个一直在寻找我的人。 如果你读到了这张照片—— 就让我们不再擦肩而过。 星期六下午三点， 摄政公园，铁艺凉亭见。”

利奥怔了许久。
心跳加速。

星期六到来。
下午三点。
公园静静的，阳光洒满金黄。

她在那里。
这次没有围巾，
只有脖子上的拍立得相机，
和一个微笑，仿佛在说：
“我也一直在找你。”
