Chapter 1_ Make a wish
Chapter 1_ Make a wish
When it was warm and cold, the north wind remained undiminished.It was still cold and bleak.
Wishing to hold the guitar and wrapped in a padded jacket, he found a random space on the street and sat down on the edge of the raised flower bed.
He took off the peaked cap on his head and put it upside down on the ground.
He breathed on his stiff fingers through the mask, and he squeezed his palms hard again.When his fingertips warmed up, he flicked on the strings, and a new day of playing and singing began.
There were not many passers-by on the street, and occasionally a few people passed by, stopped for a while, and then left in a hurry.
Wishing to lower his eyebrows, he sang to himself.
Finally, a little girl stood in front of him with a blushing face and listened to his playing and singing.Someone else threw money into his hat.When you make a wish, you will nod to them and thank you.
After a long time, Wishing took out the money in the hat, counted it, and stuffed it carefully into his pocket.He calculated the cost of living in his mind.
The present day is relatively early a few years ago, and it is much more comfortable.He no longer changes his address frequently, and he can even come out to sell a show when he has no money.But he never dared to show his face in the crowd.
Who knows if that person's eyeliner will be in the crowd.
Someone yelled at him to play another song, made a wish and pointed to his throat, bowed apologetically to them, and dialed another piece of music for them.
Flashing neon lights, noisy and crowded streets.
Make a wish and bow your head to avoid the glitz all the way.
He turned into an alley and relaxed a little.
He stopped at a dilapidated small shop, bought a few bags of instant noodles, and picked out a bag of the cheapest bread.
The mask was a little stuffy, and he pulled the straps on his ears.
When I arrived at the basement where I rented, I made a wish and took off the mask, and finally breathed a sigh of relief.
There was a knock on the door, and Wish tensed his spine nervously.
"Who?"
"it's me."
A young and cheerful voice came from the door.
Wishing to open the door a little, looking at him warily.
The visitor bared his white teeth.
"Hey, do you have vinegar at home?"
After making a wish, he hesitated and nodded.
He knew the man, lived here around the same time as him.He is a self-acquaintance, with an immature baby face, and his eyes will bend into two beautiful arcs when he smiles.
It was a harmless face.
But this is not the first time he made a wish and made a mistake, and he will not do the thing of judging people by their appearance again.
Jiang Xiaoshu yelled in surprise, ran back to the opposite door, and came out with a pot of steaming dumplings.
He turned sideways and pushed his butt against the door.
Wishing to loosen his grip slightly, he looked at him suspiciously.
"Dumplings made by myself, let's eat together."
Wishing to smell the strong smell of meat, his throat couldn't help rolling.
There is only so little space in the basement, and it is difficult for two big men to move.
The configuration is the same here.A bed with a table and cabinet beside the bed.You can put some sundries on the cabinet, and there is only enough space for a few clothes in the cabinet.
Jiang Xiaoshu glanced at the table, and there was a pair of chopsticks and a bowl on it.He divided half of the dumplings in the pot.
"Do you still have chopsticks?"
Wishing rummaged through the plastic bag and found a pair of disposable chopsticks.
"Good class."
The food was so tempting that I wished to eat with people for the first time in years.
The dumplings are full of ingredients. They are hand-rolled and delicious. It is a home-cooked taste that I have not eaten for a long time.This made him feel a little nostalgic.
After eating, he was too embarrassed to chase people away immediately.The two sat on the bed and chatted.
Rather than talking about it, it's better to say it was Jiang Xiaoshu's unilateral downfall.
Jiang Xiaoshu said that his parents had two children, and his sister was named Xiaohua because he hoped that she would be as brilliant as a flower. He called himself Xiaoshu because he hoped that he would be as strong as a tree.
Wishing glanced at his slender and slender body.
He just turned [-] this year. He said that he came from a small county on the [-]th line. He originally wanted to go to a more prosperous capital, but he was afraid that there would be too much competition there, and he was afraid that he would be crushed before he grew up.
Said that the first day I moved in, I saw myself taking out a guitar, and I noticed myself at that time.Seeing that he was so indifferent, he didn't dare to strike up a conversation rashly.Today, the dumplings are full of ingredients, so I have the courage to come.
Wishing has been listening politely and patiently, never joining his topic, nor showing impatience.
It wasn't until Jiang Xiaoshu's throat started to dry up that he realized that he seemed to be talking too much.He scratched his head embarrassingly.
"Then I'll go back first, and I'll find you next time when I cook something delicious."
He opened the door and was about to go out, when he closed the door, he suddenly stuck his head in again.
"Hey, you still haven't told me what your name is?"
There was a little smile in Wishing's eyes.
"Make a wish."
