The Mysterious Return of Hogwarts

1973年7月5日，上午11:00。

The sun is shining and there are no clouds.

Thanks to the efforts of the staff, the patients have been recaptured, and the disturbance that occurred last night seems to have subsided.It's a nice day today, but no one is in the mood to appreciate it. Everyone has been busy all morning, and finally it's lunch time and they can take a break.

Even on a clear day, Arkham Asylum seems to be shrouded in dark clouds. Normal people would not enter this kind of place casually.The walls that have fallen off due to disrepair, the vines that have not been cleared all year round, the patients who often scream madly, and the doctors who frown all the time all give this place a gloomy atmosphere.

Liu Conghui wears a white coat and some old-fashioned black-rimmed glasses, and his whole person exudes an aura that no strangers can enter.She strode through the corridor of the hospital, holding a bouquet of flowers in her left hand and a card that read "Dear, see you at Starbucks at 12 o'clock" in her right hand.

She returned to the doctor's office on the eighth floor and placed flowers and cards on her mentor Li Hua's desk.

Li Hua raised his head in surprise: "What?"

"Teacher, this bouquet of flowers and card were given to you by someone else. When they saw the address was on the eighth floor and it was still flowers, they thought they were for me, but there is a recipient on this card."

Liu Conghui took a step back.

Li Hua picked up the card.

"Honey, see you at Starbucks at 12 o'clock."

Then he turned the card over.

"You have to come alone. If you come with someone, I will be sad."

Li Hua felt his heart tremble, and he subconsciously looked at Liu Conghui: "Have you seen the person who sent the flowers?"

Liu Conghui shook his head: "I don't know, it was delivered by Emma from the first floor. She said it was a clerk in a flower shop."

Li Hua knew who the person who wrote the card was. He had even imagined that the person had a slightly teasing smile and wrote the card. The person knew his biggest secret that could not be made public, but teased him like this.

In Li Hua's opinion, the man was teasing him. He knew that Lawrence didn't like him, so the "dear" on the card was very dazzling.But there was still a hint of subtle expectation in my heart.

But in fact, Tang Yuan really didn't have that much time to tease him. He expressed no interest in Li Hua's feelings for Lawrence.For Tang Yuan, as long as there is a weakness that can be exploited, why not take advantage of it?

If a "dear" can make Li Hua shaken, it would be interesting to observe his dilemma in this situation.

When Li Hua received the card, he had already planned to take a look.

"teacher?"

Li Hua came to his senses, held the card and stood up: "I'm going out for a while, and you should also take a rest. You've been busy all morning."

Li Hua asked Liu Conghui to leave the office. After he locked the door, he quickly walked to the elevator.

Liu Conghui looked at Li Hua's back and pushed up his glasses.The light shines on the lens, reflecting a white light, making it difficult to see her true eyes.

Then she slowly put her right hand into her pocket and took out another card.

"My dear, see you at Starbucks at 12 o'clock. ————This is for Liu Conghui."

The back of the card says "Give the second card and flowers to Li Hua."

In fact, Liu Conghui was shocked when she first received the bouquet, but she soon discovered that she recognized the handwriting on the card. It was the same handwriting that Tang Yuan used when he advertised for business.

Oh, Tang Yuan came to meet her, so let's go to that coffee shop quickly.

But when she turned the card over, she found another sentence.

Eh? !

Although he didn't understand the reason why Tang Yuan did this, Liu Conghui still did it.She was a little confused, why did Tang Yuan ask Li Hua out instead of giving the flowers directly to Li Hua, but took a detour from her?

No matter what, Liu Conghui will still go to Starbucks. This is an opportunity to join forces with Tang Yuan.

The hospital staff saw her running out in a hurry, and they all joked: "Going to see your boyfriend?"

Liu Conghui was thin-skinned and didn't know how to respond, so he could only lower his head and say nothing.

……

12 noon, Starbucks near Arkham Asylum, table in the corner.

Tang Yuan tilted his head and played with the coffee spoon, with a slight smile in his eyes that made it difficult to see his emotions.

Everyone around him subconsciously avoided him. The aura exuded by this man made people afraid to disturb him at will.

He raised his head and looked out the window. If everything goes well, Li Hua will come here alone.

As for why he sent flowers to Liu Conghui first, it was mainly because of the following two points.

The first point is to inform Liu Conghui that he is coming to find her and let her get ready.

The second point is to give the flowers to Liu Conghui first. In the eyes of others, it will be like Liu Conghui going on a date.This also protects Li Hua's privacy. Otherwise, for a married middle-aged man like Li Hua, if a stranger suddenly sends flowers, it will definitely cause discussion, and maybe some meddlesome people will follow.

If someone follows him, Li Hua's most feared exposure will be revealed.

At this time, Li Hua probably didn't care about anything anymore, and he might just take him back.

Oh, yes, and the last point is to let Li Hua receive the card in a low-key manner so that others will not know where Li Hua has gone. This will make it easier for Tang Yuan to do some illegal things.

coming!

Tang Yuan saw Li Hua who had taken off his white coat and walked in wearing only the shirt underneath.

Although he has entered middle age, Li Hua has maintained a good figure, does not have a beer belly, and his face looks younger than he actually is. Even the Mediterranean Sea on his head may give him away.

Then he also saw Liu Conghui secretly following him.

Li Hua didn't notice Liu Conghui following him. He looked around as soon as he came in, then saw Tang Yuan and walked over.

"What do you want to drink?" Tang Yuan asked.

Li Hua looked a little panicked. He sat down and calmed down: "Just like you."

He didn't actually want to drink anything.

"I've thought of your answer for a long time, so I ordered an extra cup just now." Tang Yuan pushed the other cup of coffee at his side.

Li Hua took a sip absentmindedly.

"What the hell do you want to do?"

"It's my turn to ask this question. Why aren't I discharged from the hospital even though all my tests have passed?" Tang Yuan slowly stirred the coffee.

Li Hua looked around uneasily, and then had to look at Tang Yuan again.

"Sure enough, something is wrong with you. You actually developed a second personality."

Tang Yuan said nothing, which made the other party mistakenly think that it was acquiescence.

"This matter is very complicated, but you should know the reason yourself. Ask the owner, Lawrence."

"The protagonist Lawrence probably doesn't know your feelings for him yet. If he knew, how would he feel? He is a very conservative and old-fashioned person."

"Do you threaten me?"

"I threatened you, so it's up to you what to do."

Li Hua resisted the urge to push the person in front of him down, took a deep breath, and said, "Just because your tests were successful, I can't let you go."

oh?Wasn’t it because he wanted to stay with Lawrence for a while longer and not let him be discharged from the hospital?

"why?"

"Because the Yis will not pass the test. They are not human beings. If you pass, it just means that our plan has failed."

"I must hold you captive until the Yisi tribe successfully exchanges again."
