The campus was usually silent after 11 p.m., except for the soft hum of thestudent radio stationin the media building. Most people didn’t even know it stayed on past midnight.

Liam, a journalism major, worked the late-night shift as the only broadcaster. His show, After Midnight, had almost no audience—at least, that’s what he thought.

One rainy Thursday, while playing an old jazz record, he noticed a note slipped under the studio door. It was written on lined notebook paper:

“Your voice kept me company tonight. Thank you. — R”

Liam smiled and read the note aloud on-air.
“If you’re listening, R, I’m glad I could keep you company.”

The following night, another note appeared:

“Do you take song requests? Page 12 in the blue songbook. — R”

He flipped through the station’s dusty blue binder and found a forgotten track: Moon River.
As the melody floated through the quiet air, Liam imagined R listening somewhere on campus.

Night after night, their exchange grew. Sometimes R left poems, sometimes short confessions about lonely walks or favorite books. Liam responded with stories, songs, and little secrets of his own.

One night, R wrote:

“Final broadcast this semester? Meet me outside the station after the last song.”

When the clock struck 1:00 a.m., Liam stepped outside. A girl stood under the lamplight, holding an umbrella.
“Hi,” she said, smiling. “I’m R.”

And in that moment, the static between them disappeared.

中文全文翻譯午夜之后的聲音

校園在晚上11點后通常是一片寂靜，唯一的聲音來自媒體樓里那間學生廣播電臺的低低嗡鳴。大多數人甚至不知道它會在午夜后繼續運作。

利亞姆是一名新聞專業的學生，擔任深夜時段唯一的播音員。他的節目叫《午夜之后》，幾乎沒人收聽——至少他是這么認為的。

一個下雨的星期四，他正播放一張老爵士唱片時，注意到一張紙條被塞進演播室的門縫。紙是普通的橫格筆記本紙，上面寫著：

“你的聲音今晚陪了我。謝謝你。——R”

利亞姆笑了，在直播中讀出這張字條：
“如果你正在聽，R，我很高興能陪著你。”

第二天晚上，又有一張紙條出現：

“可以點歌嗎？藍色歌本的第12頁。——R”

他翻開電臺那本落滿灰塵的藍色活頁夾，找到了一首被遺忘的曲子——《月河》。
當旋律在寂靜的空氣中飄蕩時，利亞姆想象著R在校園某處靜靜地聽著。

夜復一夜，他們的交流越來越多。有時R會留下詩句，有時是關于孤獨散步或喜愛書籍的短短心聲。利亞姆則用故事、歌曲和自己的小秘密回應。

某晚，R寫道：

“本學期的最后一次直播？最后一首歌結束后，在電臺門口見。”

凌晨1點，利亞姆走出門外。燈光下，一個女孩撐著傘站在那里。
“嗨，”她笑著說，“我是R。”

就在那一刻，他們之間的隔閡消失了。
