The sun slowly set on the horizon, and the sky gradually darkened.
A little boy with black hair and black eyes was sitting at the door of the orphanage, looking at the eastern sky. The afterglow of the sun stretched his shadow very long.
Although the boy is young, there is a trace of longing in his eyes. He is missing his hometown far away.
Unfortunately, his distant hometown is not his real hometown.
The boy's name is William. He is an orphan adopted by an orphanage, so he has no surname.
He also has a name "Shang Yi", which is the Chinese name he gave himself as he grew up, and is also the name of his previous life.
Shang Yi is not just a 7-year-old boy, he also has an adult soul in his body.
In his previous life, Shang Yi could be said to be a "winner in life", with incredibly good luck. A series of surprising phenomena such as going out to pick up money, rolling dice for multiple-choice questions, winning big prizes in scratch-off games, etc. were all routine operations.
Such good luck also made Shang Yi no longer worry about food and clothing at a young age, but he was keen on traveling, reading and playing, and gambling on stones.
It has to be said that his wealth has made his literary and stone gambling journey smoother than ordinary people imagine, and his assets are constantly rising. His luck has also allowed his parents to enjoy an early and relaxed retirement life.
Incomparable.
Unfortunately, everything in life does not go as planned. Perhaps it was because Shang Yi's wealth came so quickly and smoothly that many people were jealous. So a group of robbers came to the door, robbed Shang Yi and moved them.
Most of Shang Yi's money was immediately dispossessed.
The moment he closed his eyes, Shang Yi was relatively calm. His parents still had some antiques and jade from gambling at home. This amount of money was enough for them to live without worries for a lifetime.
And he also has a younger brother, so there is no need to worry about the two elders being alone in the future.
"Ahem!"
A slight cough woke up William who was lost in memories. He looked up and saw a couple standing at the door of the orphanage, looking at him kindly.
William immediately said politely:
"Hello? What can I do for you?"
The couple looked at each other and smiled, and the husband said:
"Hello, kid, we are here to meet the dean here, Ms. Maria!"
William heard this and said:
"I understand, please come in and I will take you to Dean Maria!"
With that said, William took the two of them into the orphanage and led them to Dean Maria's office.
William knocked on the door lightly and said:
"Dean Maria, someone is looking for you!"
Maria in the office heard this and responded:
"Please come in!"
Under the surprised eyes of the couple, William took them to meet the director of the orphanage, Ms. Maria.
Then William spoke:
"You guys chat slowly, I'm leaving first!"
With that said, he rolled out of the office.
After leaving the door, William looked at the office, a look of expectation flashed in his eyes.
William sat at the door of the orphanage, of course, not only because he missed his hometown, but also because he wanted to show himself in front of the couples who came to the orphanage to adopt children, so that he could be adopted early and leave the orphanage.
This can not only reduce the burden on the orphanage, but also give yourself a better family.
There is another more important reason, that is, at this time, Westerners still have a certain degree of discrimination against Chinese Americans, so there are very few people who will adopt William, so he needs to make certain efforts and not miss the opportunity.
Of course, he also looks at people. The couple just now at least look kinder and don't look like domestic violence people. Moreover, they also have a certain financial foundation by appearance and clothing. If they are adopted by them, their future life will be better.
"Oh, I didn't expect that I would have to take the exam even if I went to an orphanage in a foreign country~"
William sighed softly, feeling a little anxious about his future.
Although I am a time traveler, I have neither a golden finger nor super powers. I can only plan and develop step by step in this world. Even if I guess wrong about the character of this couple, I can only do my best and obey fate.
.
While William was anxious about the future, the couple in the dean's office also chatted with Ms. Maria about William, who was leading the way for them.
The man asked:
"Dean Maria, who was that little boy just now?"
Ms. Maria smiled kindly and said:
"You guys are talking about William. He is the most sensible child in our orphanage. He looks like a little gentleman! Mr. Granger, if you adopt him, you will not regret it!"
Ms. Maria's admiration for William was beyond words, and she obviously loved the little boy William very much.
And after seeing William's unfailing and polite words and deeds with his own eyes just now, the couple also recognized William quite a bit.
Mr. and Mrs. Granger looked at each other and understood what the other meant. Then Mr. Granger said to Ms. Maria:
"Ms. Maria, we want to meet William!"
A hint of joy flashed in Dean Maria's eyes and she said:
"Okay, I'll take you to meet him now!"
After some understanding, Ms. Maria is also very optimistic about the Grangers. Mr. Granger is a dentist, which is a high-income profession in this country. If successful, William's life will definitely be better.
!
Dean Maria walked to the door and opened the door. She happened to see William sitting on a stool not far from the office. He immediately waved his hand and shouted:
"William, come..."
When William saw this, a look of surprise flashed in his eyes, and he knew that he had succeeded this time!
It's not like I haven't done this in the past, but those people rejected me because I am Chinese. But now it seems that this kind couple does not discriminate against Chinese, which is really good.
William ran into the office excitedly and chatted with the Grangers and Dean Maria for a long time.
"Pa~"
William walked out of the office door with a smile, but an extremely complicated look flashed in his eyes.
He did not fail, and was successfully adopted by the Grangers this time.
The reason why William looked complicated was because he learned about Mr. Granger's work and also learned that the Grangers had a sister who was several months younger than him - Hermione Granger.
This familiar name instantly evoked memories deep in William's mind.
England, London, Privet Drive, Mr. and Mrs. Granger, dentist, Hermione Granger...
Putting these terms together, he instantly understood that he was now in the Harry Potter world, and that his future sister would also be the wise one in the Iron Triangle, and also the most talented little wizard of that generation.
William did not expect that he would actually come to this magical world.
But deep down in his heart, he was actually excited and excited.
"I would rather believe that I am a Muggle than believe that there is no magic in this world!"
William was also fascinated by the magic of Hogwarts when he was a child. Now that he has the opportunity to be exposed to such a world, how could he not be excited!
Ms. Maria noticed William's expression and thought that he was reluctant to leave the orphanage, so she immediately comforted him:
"William, if you leave here, you will have a new life, but you will come back to see us, right?
