Hogwarts: Nagini captured at the start

Chapter 283 Last Words, the Emo Teen

Late at night, the cool moonlight streamed obliquely into the dormitory through the windows.

Luo Bin, who was sleeping on a single bed, suddenly opened his eyes. He missed everything from the past, but that didn't mean he was willing to be trapped in the illusion forever.

He got up, put on his shoes and socks, tiptoed through the window, and then, comparing the orphanage with his memory, searched the illusionary orphanage to see what new things had been added.

Finally, in the southwest corner of the orphanage, he discovered a towering tree that shouldn't have been there.

"Hey, I've got you!" Robin said confidently.

However, as soon as he finished speaking, the shadow of the tree dimmed and then disappeared.

The surrounding scenery was changing rapidly, as if someone had pressed the super-speed playback button.

Finally, the scene freezes on a snow-covered winter day. Luo Bin's clothes have changed from cool short sleeves and shorts to heavy cotton coats, and his hands have become thin and long.

"Brother Binbin, Aunt Linlin asked me to come find you. She said that Dean Li has some last words to say to you. Brother Bin, what do those last words mean?"

Luo Bin turned his head and saw a little baby with a round face, almond eyes, and peach cheeks, who was several times cuter than the child stars in the New Year paintings.

It was Ah-Can, the baby who was sent to the suburban garbage dump when I was in the first year of junior high school.

At first, everyone was puzzled as to how any parents would be willing to abandon such a handsome baby, especially a boy.

Later, everyone found out the reason: Ah-chan had a disease called Kabuki Syndrome. This disease would make his appearance particularly conform to popular aesthetics, but his intelligence and physical development would be far below that of ordinary people.

Ah-Can was pitiful, but also lucky. Aunt Lin treated him like her own son and discovered his talent for painting, nurturing him into a well-known painter in Puyang.

"Brother Binbin!"

Luo Bin picked up A-Can and ran all the way to the top floor of the staff building.

Dean Li's bedroom was very simple, with only a bookcase, a set of table and chairs, and a single bed. Dean Li, who looked sallow and emaciated, lay on that bed.

In my memory, Dean Li died peacefully and without pain in his sleep. The scene before me, with "Dean Li lying on his bed, Aunt Lin wiping away tears, and staff members worried," is probably a hallucination derived from Dean Li's wish that "he could not say a few words to her before his death."

"Ah Bin, come quick, come here! The dean has been holding his breath, just waiting for you!" Aunt Lin urged, wiping away her tears.

Luo Bin stepped forward and shook hands with Dean Li, while the others tactfully left.

"Ahem!"

"Ah Bin, I don't ask you to be rich and powerful, I only ask you to be safe and happy. After I leave, if you ever think of me, please come to the cemetery and give me some veronica."

"I love Veronica the most. It doesn't pick and choose the soil, it looks beautiful, and in times of famine, it can even be eaten as a meal."

"Director, don't worry, with Aunt Lin here, the orphanage will only get better. The children in the orphanage will never forget the kindness of the orphanage when they grow up."

"What gratitude or not, raising children in an orphanage is a responsibility they have to bear."

"Open the leftmost drawer of your desk. There's a blue metal box there containing your parents' information. I asked people to search for them for a long time before I finally found out where they are."

"Ah Bin, if you want to find them, go find them, but wait until you're an adult."

Luo Bin shook his head. "I'm an adult now, I have friends, do I still need them?"

Dean Li's lips curled into a bitter smile. "Yes! The bird has grown up and can fly in the sky. Why would it still yearn for family? Ah Bin, I want to hear some music!"

Robin suddenly patted his pocket and found a hard object. He pulled it out and saw that it was a shiny harmonica.

Uh, Luo Bin knows what year it is now. When he was in his first year of high school, he loved to show off and flirt with girls. He even had a sudden idea to learn the harmonica from a street performer. However, he hadn't practiced in a long time, so he didn't know if he could still play it well.

He put the harmonica to his lips and blew hard. Instantly, a series of farting sounds filled the simple bedroom, and Dean Li laughed heartily.

Luo Bin awkwardly touched his nose. "Oops, I stood in the yard for too long and my mouth got a little frozen."

He put the harmonica to his lips again and slowly blew out air.

This time, he played a melodious tune that made listeners feel as if they were in a landscape painting.

After the song ended, Dean Li on the bed 'fell asleep,' and Luo Bin went over to check his breathing. He was no longer breathing.

Even knowing it was an illusion, he couldn't help but shed tears. He reached up to smooth the dean's messy hair, then quickly turned and grabbed the dean's earring.

Just kidding, the dean has been frugal all his life, how could he wear diamond-encrusted earrings, especially in the shape of a Christmas tree!

However, just as my fingertip was about to touch the earring, it dimmed and then disappeared.

The surrounding scenery changed at an accelerated pace once again, finally settling on the midsummer scene of cicadas chirping incessantly.

He looked up and saw a group of students drawing at their desks. He looked down and saw himself wearing a dirty t-shirt and shorts covered in graffiti.

Is this an art studio?

That's right, it's an art studio!

He remembered that after Dean Li passed away, Aunt Lin followed her last wish and converted her bedroom into a children's art studio. At that time, he even took the initiative to watch the children paint and clean the studio.

But speaking of which year it is today?

bang~

(Sound of a stone hitting glass)

Luo Bin turned his face to the window and saw a punk rocker with a "green seaweed" hairstyle on his head!

Ah, tonight marks my senior year of high school, no doubt about it.

That year, my little follower, A-Qiang, was obsessed with internet cafes and even got a trendy "green seaweed" hairstyle.

"Brother Bin, come out! Come out quickly, I need to talk to you urgently!"

Ah Qiang winked and urged.

Luo Bin strode out of the studio. "What's the urgent matter?"

"Li Jingya is looking for you. She's waiting in the courtyard. She said she's here to deliver your admission notice, but I think she has more than one purpose."

"What about you? Take her out for a nice meal, then watch a romantic movie, and then... hehehe, Bin-ge, remember to bring your marriage certificate!"

Luo Bin rolled his eyes at him. "All you do every day is get in the way of good things. Dye your hair back and study properly. Don't give Aunt Lin a headache."

After saying that, Luo Bin turned down the stairs and strolled leisurely into the yard.

Li Jingya, with light makeup, her hair in a princess braid, and wearing a yellow floral dress, stood under the big willow tree, looking youthful and beautiful.

Upon seeing Robin's unkempt appearance, she frowned in displeasure. "Why did you come dressed like that?"

Luo Bin ignored her, reached out and snatched the paper package, tore open the seal, and pulled out the contents: a letter of introduction, a school brochure, bank cards, etc., just like back then, nothing was missing.

"Thanks, I have to go now!"

Li Jingya stepped forward and spread her arms to block his way. "Luo Bin, I...I have something to discuss with you."

Her deep, dark eyes immediately flashed with a cold light. "Confess your feelings? Sorry, you're too ugly. Borrow money? Ha, I don't have any. Snatch a spot in school? The orphanage is my territory. I can summon a bunch of thugs with a wave of my hand. Just so you know, they each have a row of fluorescent markers."
