Tides: Years of Dawn

Crewe's brother and father met Gao Wen three days later.

At that time, Gao Wen had just settled down with Crewe, and he had to go back home to make a plan with his family for his post-graduation arrangements according to the school's instructions.

But just after he walked out of Haicheng School and before he reached the pier, he was stopped by several octopuses, one of whom was still wearing a royal blue robe.

Haimin's robes can tell the rank of Haimin.The darker the blue of the robe, the more complicated the embroidery on the cuffs, the higher the status.

The student gowns of Haicheng School are brown, with no extra decorations on it except for the school badge of Haicheng School on the chest, which symbolizes the most common class of sea people.And if a student graduates from school without a job, he will always wear brown robes to ceremonies and banquets.

But the man standing in front of Gao Wen was wearing royal blue.This shows that the other party is either the head of the family or the eldest son of the family.After all, Gao Wen also had a sapphire blue robe, which his father had prepared for him in advance, and he would wear the exact same dress when the family held a banquet after he graduated.

Gao Wen looked at the octopus guard standing behind the man, and then looked back to see if there was anyone else behind him.Then he was sure that the other party was coming for him.

"Gao Wen?" Saru signaled the guards to stop, and stepped forward to ask.

Gao Wen was still holding several books that he had brought back in advance to clean up the apartment, and he couldn't get out of his hands for a while.Saru snapped his fingers, and one of the attendants stepped forward and put Gawain's book and the heavy package on his body together.

"I'm Sarouot///Puss, my father really wants to meet you, I wonder if it's convenient right now?" Saru smiled.That smile was slightly similar to Crewe's, the eyes were very clear, and the contours of the face were soft.

Gao Wen wanted to say that he'd better go home, after all, it's troublesome to carry big and small bags.But seeing that the octopus guard had already removed all the heavy objects from his body, he hesitated for a moment and had no choice but to nod.

Although this day would come sooner or later—after all, Crewe had also become his support—he didn't expect it to be so soon.

Crewe is only 14 years old, and besides having a title, he doesn't need to perform auxiliary obligations.Gao Wen thought that he would be able to adapt to the outside world for at least two or three years before formally meeting with Crewe's family, but he did not expect that he would be invited to Crewe's family before the graduation ceremony.

And what he didn't expect was that they didn't ask for their family's exchange for the status of assistants. On the contrary, Crewe's father said bluntly—"Crewe was born with some defects, and his ability is much lower than that of ordinary ancient octopuses." I am very grateful for your love and appreciation for my youngest son, but I am sorry, but I do not approve of him being your assistant."

Gao Wen immediately glanced around, not knowing where his father was not secretly hiding to listen.It seems that Ward knew that he couldn't persuade the stubborn eldest son, so he simply started with Ott///Puth's house and asked Crewe's brother and father to talk to Gawain.

"Old Mr. Leviathan didn't come, please rest assured." Before Gawain could speak, Saru saw through Gawain's intentions and answered first, saying—"This meeting is definitely not what the old man intended. , but we feel ashamed that Crewe is not a match for you."

This made Gao Wen feel comfortable.Although he denied Gao Wen's speculation about his father's intentions, and felt a little grievance for Kru, it was strange that he couldn't detect any unpleasant feeling from it.

So he didn't speak, and slightly raised his head to look at Saru's smiling face.

Saru paused for a moment, and looked at his father.

After getting his father's nod of tacit approval, Saru continued to say—"My younger brother is naturally dull, and this has nothing to do with age. And I heard that you are one of the best students in this year's Haicheng School, and you will also be a candidate for the lord in the future." Intent. I think you need someone who can help you, not someone who has the potential, of course, just the potential, to take you further and further from your goal."

Gao Wen didn't know how to answer the conversation.If Leier said this, he could refute it decisively.But from what Crewe's biological brother said, he was a little at a loss.

After all, he was still an outsider, and he was not even as familiar with Crewe as Geraint.Even though he wanted to say that Crewe was not a flawed existence, Gawain himself felt pale when he said this in front of Ott///Puth's family.

It happened that when Gao Wen couldn't find a suitable content to pick up or transfer, the door of the small hall opened just right.

A very dexterous little octopus came in with tea, and it was only then that Gao Wen realized that he had been sitting dryly before, without serving tea at all.

The little octopus looks about his own age, but it is a beautiful female octopus.Her tentacles put the cups one by one in front of the head, Saru and Gawain.

Gao Wen followed the trend to look at the little octopus' face, but unexpectedly the little octopus was also secretly looking at him.Obviously, Gao Wen is not used to meeting the eyes of a completely strange and beautiful opposite sex. The latter just smiled at Gao Wen, but Gao Wen was startled and hastily looked away.

Gao Wen didn't know where to put his gaze for a moment, so he could only fall on the glass in front of him, hold the glass, and take a small sip.

The little octopus didn't speak, and her beautiful aqua-blue robe dangled in front of his eyes for a while, and then he heard Saru's accusation, "Eileen, it's too hot, the guests can't drink it."

As he spoke, he signaled the little octopus to take away the tea in front of Gao Wen.

Before Gawain could remove his hand from the cup, the tentacles of the little octopus gently patted the back of Gawain's hand.

Gao Wen's heart skipped a beat, he suddenly withdrew his hand, but inadvertently looked at the little octopus again.

The little octopus laughed out two small dimples, rolled its tentacles nimbly, and quickly swept away the water glass on the table.

"Eileen was sent here not long ago. She is still young, so she doesn't understand many things." Saru didn't explain until the little octopus moved out lightly.

"Why isn't she at school?" Gao Wen asked, he remembered other people's family affairs after asking, so he shouldn't ask too much.

But Saru didn't seem to mind. He pursed his lips and replied, "Eileen grew up on Broken Rock Island outside the Split Rock Islands. There is no school there. There was an accident some time ago, and her home was washed away." It’s destroyed, and it’s being rebuilt now, so I’ll send it to my family for a while.”

Broken Rock Island is a small island in the southwest of the Cracked Rock Islands. It is not under the jurisdiction of the Cracked Rock Islands.There are only a few thousand people scattered above, living in some branch families who do not want to be close to the market or have very distant relationships.

Gao Wen had previously heard that several families of Ott///Pusi's blood lived on it. Unlike the above-mentioned situation, they lived on Broken Stone Island because the land was sparsely populated and it was convenient for pharmaceutical research.

These octopus families who specialize in research and do not participate in politics are unwilling to accept the education of Haicheng School, because they feel that the children they teach are better than those taught by the tutors who are mixed with fish and dragons.

"However, she has always been very interested in Haicheng School. I wanted to take her there before, but she seems not very happy to go out with me." Saru pouted innocently.

After a few off-topic conversations, Gao Wen's spirit relaxed a little.And the old Ott///Pusi also properly reminded Saru not to get too far away, after all, he still wanted to reiterate the purpose of inviting Gao Wen here today.

"The octopus family doesn't have many children, but if you like the character of our children, of course there is a better choice than Crewe."

Old Ott///Puth said, "I don't want to delay the future of Ward's eldest son, nor do I want to tarnish my own name, but if you let Crewe become your support, both are possible."

Gao Wen no longer expressed his views.

He listened to the lobbying of the two of them, in the final analysis, it was a theme, fearing that Crewe would do something wrong after becoming an assistant. After all, it is a sin to assist in such a position, even if he does nothing.

The conversation only lasted for more than an hour, before Saru signaled to his father that it was okay.He saw Gawain's fatigue and resistance, and said that if Gawain really liked Crewe, what others said would be meaningless.

After sending Gao Wen out of the old house, Saru walked with Gao Wen for a while.The guards carried Gawain's heavy book behind them, and Saru said again - "What my father and I said are just references. If it sounds uncomfortable, I hope you don't forget it."

"Of course not." Gawain replied, not to mention that what Ott///Puth and his son said was much more tactful than Rael.

"You know, our family has always been the support of Sea Snake. It stands to reason that now that Sea Snake has fallen, we should get closer to another family that is expected to be elected as the lord, and we should also support Crewe to make friends with you."

Saru's voice became deep, but he seemed sincere, "But I am still biased in this regard, and I hope that the lord can get more favorable help. After all... only the lord and assistants are wise, and the Cracked Rock Islands can continue. Prosperous and stable, you say, isn’t it?”

"Yes." Gawain admitted.

This is really a very delicate feeling. Rael accuses him sternly that he shouldn't be close to Crewe, and he can't listen to a word, but Saru and him have only met for two hours, and he feels that the other party's words are reasonable.

Perhaps Gao Wen was impulsive, Gao Wen thought.He is rebellious, so the more he is not allowed to go in a certain direction, the more he will break through the wall for others to see.

This was the first time in a while that Gawain doubted the correctness of using Crewe as an assistant.

Saru kept chatting with Gao Wen and sent him to the pier before turning around and leaving.

After returning home, Elena was already sitting in the living room waiting.

"How? What's his impression of me?" Elena immediately stood up and asked.

"How do I know? It's impossible for me to ask the question the first time, otherwise the purpose will be too strong." Saru replied casually.

"Then you don't ask, I—"

Before Elena could finish her question, Saru blocked her way back—"You don't go until the graduation ceremony, I've already told you that you want to visit Haicheng School, and then I'll create a place for you two to get along alone. Chance."

After hearing this, Elena also agreed with Saru's statement, looked at the teacup on the table that had not been filled with cold water, and gave a soft "hmm".

"I can see that he has a good impression of you, and you are about the same age as him. You have a better chance than my stupid brother." Saru said.

These seemingly complimenting words made Elena very happy, and she burst into a smile again in an instant.

But Saru didn't smile. He moved his tentacles, squirmed in front of Elena, and warned seriously—"But you are always a little bastard who is separated from the family. I hope you will remember for the rest of my life. Who took this opportunity today?" I introduced it to you, and who can take the opportunity back at any time."

"I will, Brother Saru," Elena also put away her smile, looked up at Saru, and said provocatively—"But even if I become an assistant and forget your kindness, I will always be Separation bastard, I can't take away your position like Crewe, can I?"
