小故事：空空的下午
觉得有点热，就把它脱下来.
头发也随便扎起来。
我坐在沙发上，拉着包上的扎带.
觉得有些无聊，于是随手拿起手机想看看朋友们发了些什么。
我正准备去扔垃圾，手机突然响了。
我以为是好朋友给我发消息，心里一下子有点兴奋。
可是点开一看，只是一个广告。
另外，我发现有个群聊在讨论一个我不怎么喜欢的活动。
我看了几句，觉得有些失望，于是决定退出群聊。
没想到刚退出，朋友就给我发消息了。
她说：“你怎么走了？我们正想问你意见呢。
”我犹豫了一下，因为我知道一旦回复，他们又会把话题拉回那个活动.
而我真的想拒绝。
我盯着手机，心里一下子变得空空的，有点有些悲伤。
其实我不是不想和朋友聊天.
只是希望他们能理解我的想法

A Small Story: An Empty Afternoon
That afternoon, I was wearing a thick coat, and I felt a bit hot, so I took it off and casually （carelessly) tied up my hair.
I sat on the sofa, pulling at the strap, feeling a little bored, so I picked up my phone （without thinking) to see what my friends had posted.
I was just about to take out the trash when my phone suddenly rang.
I thought it was a close friend messaging me, and I felt a bit excited for a moment.
But when I opened it (to take a quick look), it was only an advertisement.
Besides, I noticed a group chat discussing an activity I don’t really like.
I read a few lines and felt a bit disappointed, so I decided to leave the group.
Unexpectedly, right after I left, my friend messaged me.
She said, “Why did you go? We were just about to ask for your opinion.”
I hesitated, because I knew that once I replied, they would bring the topic back to that activity again, and I really wanted to turn it down.
I stared at my phone, and my heart suddenly felt empty, with a touch of sadness.
(Actually) It wasn’t that I didn’t want to talk to my friends;
I just hoped they could understand how I felt.
