Short story "Little Wontons"

Xu Yi opened the refrigerator, took out a bag of quick-frozen wontons, poured it into a pot with warm water on the stove top, and covered it with a lid.

In about five minutes, the small ravioli was all floating. Xu Yi put the small wontons into a bowl and brought them to the table.

Tasted it and it was a little light.

"Qin Ling, what do you eat?"

"I want a bowl of ravioli."

"Eat ravioli again... Forget it, boss, bring me a bowl of round flour. ”

Xu Yi looked at the wontons in his hand, and his thoughts drifted away again: "I remember the wontons you like to eat the street most, I don't know if that shop is still there." Oh..." He said and snorted again, as if mocking himself.

After eating a few wontons that were already slightly cold, Xu Yi lost his appetite and muttered, "I really don't know what delicious things this thing is..."

Ten years ago, Xu Yi and Qin Ling were at a snack bar at the end of the street in front of the school, "Qin Ling, why do you eat wontons again, is it so delicious?" ”

"This wonton tastes good, you can try it." Qin Ling was not surprised, and every time Xu Yi would ask like this.

"I'll still eat round noodles."

Qin Ling raised an eyebrow, but it was not surprising. He knew that every time Xu Yi only ate round powder, he was not very interested in the opposite food.

"Here we go!" The boss came up with a bowl of small wontons and a bowl of round powder, smiled and said: "Two slow eating, be careful to burn, small dishes are free, want to eat their own to add." ”

"It's a good look." Xu Yi looked at the small wontons floating in Qin Ling's bowl full of green and green onions, and it smelled good, and he wanted to taste it, but he still ate his own round powder.

Qin Ling and Xu Yi had known each other for seven years, and they were too familiar with each other from the beginning to become good friends.

Xu Yi dreamed of Qin Ling, Qin Ling was still the same as before, often gentle and gentle smile at him, telling him that the snack bar at the intersection had not opened recently, and he wanted to eat small ravioli. Qin Ling in the dream was vague, xu Yi wanted to get closer, see Qin Ling's face clearly, but he couldn't see clearly. Qin Ling said he was leaving.

"Don't go, Qin Ling!" Xu Yi woke up with a shout, the pillow was already wet, and the corners of his eyes were still wet.

I haven't dreamed of you in my memory for a long time.

If I hadn't gone to another city, if you hadn't liked that girl, if...

It's a pity there are no ifs.

Xu Yi remembered the past, since going to another city to study, Xu Yi and Qin Ling basically broke off contact, at that time there was no QQ WeChat, not even a phone number.

However, in less than a year, he heard the news that Qin Ling and a girl were in love from others, and Xu Yi didn't dare to believe it when he heard it, he wanted to go to Qin Ling to question, but he didn't dare.

"In what capacity do I ask him, friend?" scold...... Which friend would have thoughts of that way about a friend. Xu Yi thought self-deprecatingly, and since then he has deliberately avoided inquiring about Qin Ling's news.

After a year, Qin Ling got married and had a child.

Xu Yi went to the city farther away.

In the past nearly ten years, Xu Yi still often remembers that he and Qin Ling climbed to the school's osmanthus tree together, sat on the tree and talked about the world, and after being found by the teacher, they ran away together, watching the teacher scold and grin, they looked at each other and laughed.

Xu Yi remembered that Qin Ling said that he wanted to be a star, Qin Ling was not old at that time, but he could already glimpse what he would look like in the future, Qin Ling's skin was very white, very good-looking, but a little shorter than Xu Yi, not too tall. Xu Yi looked at Qin Ling's side face out of his mind, Qin Ling was still nagging, with a faint smile on his face, and a pair of eyes that were exceptionally bright.

Xu Yi thought that in the daily life, bit by bit, he was captured by Qin Ling's laughter, and he didn't know when, his heart lived in him.

Xu Yi had never told anyone that he would often dream of Qin Ling at that time, and although he was with Qin Ling almost every day at that time, he would still dream about him at night.

Xu Yi knew that he was different from ordinary people, he liked Qin Ling, he often dreamed of a mountain forest, there was only one log cabin in the mountain forest, and only two people lived in it, Qin Ling. There was a small stream at the entrance of the chalet, the mountains and forests were covered with clouds, and when the sun rose, it dispelled some of the fog, and Qin Ling stood on a stone on the creek and turned to smile at him.

That smile was like when the morning light faded, and a strong light shone on him, shining into his heart.

After Qin Ling got married, Xu Yi went to a city farther away and never dreamed of him again.

It's just that the refrigerator of the rental house is full of quick-frozen small wontons, and when the supper is late, Xu Yi cooks a bowl, and can't eat a few.

Sometimes I think, when I ate that bowl of wontons in the small shop, why didn't I eat a bite of Qin Ling's bowl?
