Chapter 001: Angel Orphanage

In fact, the last child of the Angel Orphanage should not be Nagini Tang, but rather another Asian girl named Daisy

As he set down the cup of milk, a delicate face, one year younger than his own, unconsciously surfaced in Nagini Tang's mind. A hint of contemplation flickered in his eyes: "Madam Samantha, where is Daisy?"

Three years ago, the Angel Orphanage had dozens of children. Relying on social donations and their own savings accumulated over the years, although it was somewhat difficult, Mrs. Samantha seemed like a fighter who would never be defeated

There are two memories in my mind, one is an Asian boy at the age of six, and the other is an Eastern man at the age of thirty-one

Whenever the music plays, a smile inevitably appears on Mrs. Samantha's face

The Asian boy has been without parents since childhood. In his memory, it is the head of the orphanage, a woman named Mrs. Samantha, who took him in and cared for his upbringing

My favorite pastime on weekdays is to pour myself a glass of red wine priced at 4.8 dollars per bottle while enjoying classic tunes from the 1960s, accompanied by the rhythm of my fingertips, as I wait for the cookies in the oven

That is also a beautiful child, but Daisy is clearly not as intelligent and sensible as Najini Tang.

Although that couple tends to prefer the excellent Najin Tang

Although they are both of Asian descent, unlike Daisy's introversion and rebellion, the slender Najini Tang possesses an enviable charm that allows him to engage in conversation with everyone at the orphanage

Only one child named Najini Tang remains

Are there people in this world who, like her, are willing to share the kindness that resides in their hearts

illness

Suffering cannot defeat her; she is a great woman. Although she is not strong, she can fight against fate like a giant

Since three years ago, the children from the orphanage have been gradually taken away

A child asked her why she was smiling

The decades of operation have long since integrated Mrs. Samantha with the orphanage; without Mrs. Samantha's Angel Orphanage, it would be akin to a soulless shell.

A small glass cup containing approximately 150 CC of milk

It was merely because Nagini Tang was "ill" yesterday

Who am I? Where do I come from? Where am I going?

Mrs. Samantha walked in, holding an iron tray containing Nagini Tang's favorite finger biscuits

Knock knock knock

Daisy and Najini Tang are the only two Asians at the Angel Orphanage, and the relationship between the two is very good, or rather, Daisy and Najini Tang have a very good relationship

This is an Asian boy, six years old this year. The child is intelligent, handsome, and very considerate

But unfortunately, the disease can.

The thirty-one-year-old Eastern man is a successful individual; he is very fortunate, as if he were kissed by the goddess of fortune at birth

A knock at the door

The Angel Orphanage is not unable to continue its operations, nor has it closed due to mismanagement

Stop messing around, although Nagini Tang is not strong, his physical condition is not as bad as imagined, and if it were not for Nagini Tang's "illness", Daisy would likely have stayed in the orphanage

Nagini Tang took a sip, and the sweet combination of finger biscuits and milk created a marvelous flavor, which in Nagini Tang's memory, represented the delicacies of the human world

Mrs. Samantha does not speak, she kisses the children's cheeks and tells them that when they grow up, she will reveal this secret to them

Even the parents must be healthier than others' parents, and the children must be smarter than the children of other colleagues

She poured herself a glass of red wine, and logically, patients with liver cancer should not drink alcohol

She is tenacious and hardworking, filled with enthusiasm and smiles every day, caring for dozens of children with two hundred percent of her love

But unfortunately, that was all a matter of a few years ago

It is impossible to discern who has replaced whom, and who has consumed whom

If one must nitpick, what flaw could be found in this child?

Mrs. Samantha's eyes involuntarily flashed with a hint of guilt as she looked at Nagini Tang's youthful face.

In fact, since being diagnosed with liver cancer three years ago, Mrs. Samantha has not visited the hospital even once

The finger biscuits she baked are crisp and soft in texture, resembling dry sponge cake, and are exceedingly sweet

From childhood to adulthood, he was not exceptional, but he was always slightly better than the average person

Academic performance is as follows, social skills are as follows, the university graduated from is as follows, and work situation is also as follows

This is an orphanage that is about to close down, and the director is a seventy-five-year-old white woman named Samantha. She enjoys wearing a long green dress and a white shirt that has faded from washing.

Beside it is a grayish-white wall, covered with lush green vines. A dark brown wooden board is nailed to the wall with iron nails, and through a few green leaves, the words "Angel Orphanage" can be faintly seen.

In the mid-stage of liver cancer, in modern society, although it is not an incurable disease, in this era, in Los Angeles in 1986, for an elderly director running a private orphanage, this medical record is no less than a death notice

She has proven with facts that no one can defeat her

A glimmer of affection flashed in Mrs. Samantha's eyes as she used her fingers, marked with age spots and wrinkles, to wipe away the crumbs of cookies from Nagini Tang's mouth

This has always been the favorite of all the children at the Angel Orphanage

He respects her greatly and loves her deeply; in the boy's eyes, Mrs. Samantha is his only family.

However, the lovely Daisy also seems quite good, after all, the intelligence quotient of Asians is universally recognized as excellent

In conclusion, after a long integration over the course of one day and one night, this body known as Nagini Tang absorbed and fused two memories, ultimately forming a cohesive whole with the body

Due to the influence of the monsoon, Los Angeles experienced unusually hot weather this year

The three ultimate philosophical questions of idealism left Nagini Tang in a state of bewilderment

The azure sky reveals not a single cloud, with the only presence being the sweltering sea breeze

What shortcomings does this child have

1989, Los Angeles

That is the Asian identity of the other party; in Los Angeles, discrimination against people of color has never ceased

Looking at Nagini Tang, whose eyes are smiling with delight because of the sweetness of the cookies

Yes, but Mrs. Samantha is uncertain whether she can find that person in this restless society with the limited time she has left

But she does not care

He is not wealthy, does not hold much power, yet he embodies a true form of happiness that countless people envy

He is just a little better than others in every aspect, but when these accumulate together

Mrs. Samantha had no choice but to send Daisy away

Madam Samantha is aware of Nagini Tang's little tricks

Moreover, there is no need to eat so hastily; it is all yours. Have a sip of milk

In the cramped kitchen, Mrs. Samantha wiped the sweat from her forehead, feeling exhausted in the sweltering heat of Los Angeles. The rotating oven in the kitchen made the seventy-five-year-old Mrs. Samantha feel weary, but fortunately, the classic vinyl records from the 1960s played softly in her ears

Therefore, the children at the Angel Orphanage always hope to grow up quickly

Meanwhile, on the second floor of the Angel Orphanage, Najini Tang, who had been lying on the bunk bed for a day and a night, opened his eyes at this moment

The cracked asphalt road, accompanied by the roar of the fuel tank, came to a stop with a black Dodge Challenger.

This child is relatively small and, compared to his peers, he appears not strong and healthy enough

However, there are not many who do it well. Mrs. Samantha is not American; she is of mixed American and Italian descent, and Italy is precisely the birthplace of the ladyfinger.

After all, she is not intelligent, and she is also of Asian descent. Apart from being relatively attractive, she is almost devoid of any other merits

She is aware that her path is nearing its end, yet she does not panic or despair. Mrs. Samantha remains calm, treating each day as if it were the last day of her life

The memories of both merge with each other

Finger biscuits are a common type of Western cookie, and in this era, almost every housewife knows how to make them

Nowadays, at the Angel Orphanage, apart from Mrs. Samantha

Although the clothes are inexpensive, the beauty of her youth is now marred by wrinkles, yet she remains composed

This brought Mrs. Samantha a sense of comfort, while also causing her some heartache
