Tides: Years of Dawn

The results of Geraint's trial came the day before graduation.

Gao Wen knew that his father wanted him to attend the ceremony with peace of mind, and he also hoped that this matter would come to an end sooner, so as not to cause long nights and dreams, so he must have helped out.

The news that Geraint was expelled for bringing his wand to the Cracked Rock Islands was submerged in the atmosphere of the imminent graduation ceremony. Few people cared, and the impact of this matter was minimized.And Geraint will also be transferred from the prison to the control center to serve his sentence in three months.

The control station is also on the garrison island. It is smaller than the prison and the security is not so strict.Most of the detainees inside are mentally abnormal or juvenile criminals. Compared with prisons, the environment is much better, and it is not far from house arrest.

No one was allowed to visit him during the three months before he was transferred to the detention center.Whether it is Gawain, Rael, or Crewe, there is no exception.

Gao Wen really wanted to tell Crewe the news immediately, but when he went to Crewe's dormitory, he found that there was nothing in the dormitory, no one and no textbooks, and it had been cleaned up long ago.After asking the housekeeper, I found out that Crewe had already returned home without saying a word the previous afternoon.

Gao Wen was somewhat dissatisfied with this.

Although he understood that the recent series of turmoil had caused a lot of harm to Crewe, no matter what he said, he should say hello to himself.Crewe didn't look like such an impolite child, and leaving without saying goodbye would only make Gawain think he was a little naive and willful.

"He's already my assistant." Looking at the empty dormitory, Gawain murmured.

"But he's already gone home." Rael reminded Gawain beside him that Gawain should prepare for the dinner the next day, but he didn't even find out the dress.

This dissatisfaction continued until the day of the dinner.

Gao Wen made sufficient preparations for his graduation speech. When he put on a brand new dress and stood in front of a fellow student of the same period, he was able to speak fluently the speech he knew by heart only by virtue of inertia. recite it out.

The speech was written by Rael Gang.In fact, Gao Wen also wrote a copy before, but Leier shook his head repeatedly after reading it.Gao Wen also thought that he was not as good as Leier in communicating with others, so he simply asked Leier to write it as a ghostwriter, while he himself spent the whole night memorizing it by heart.

Rael stood under the stage looking at Gawain, and at that tall, handsome sea monster who would one day become a lord talking endlessly on the stage. At that moment, Rael was a little dazed.

Gawain wore the coat of arms of Haicheng School, which symbolized the completion of graduation, on his chest. With slight movements during the speech, the copper-faced Leviathan logo reflected the light of the hall.

Twinkle and twinkle, Rael's eyes flickered.

Rael also had the same coat of arms on his chest, but he felt that his own was not as shiny as Gawain's.

Rael had an idea in his heart.He was a few months older than Gao Wen, and he was full before the graduation ceremony.He thought about what he wanted to say to Gawain a few years ago, but it was a pity that before that day, Crewe became Gawain's assistant, and perhaps Rael shouldn't have said those things that were already prepared.

Yes, he had fantasies about Gao Wen, but that fantasies were severely suppressed by him before graduation.He had been in the same dormitory with Gao Wen since he entered Haicheng School, and later moved from the dormitory to the apartment, and they still shared the same room.

And a little earlier, at the source of Leil's memory, when he was still a child with a turtle shell who didn't know how to transform into a complete human form, he wrestled with Gawain who couldn't get rid of the fish tail.

His memory is full of Gao Wen's shadow, and he believes that Gao Wen is the same.

Gao Wen was his friend, at the same time, he could even be called a brother.Gao Wen is excellent, he is always a little bit better than himself.But what puzzled Rael himself was that Gawain never made him feel jealous.

It seemed that Gao Wen should stand on a step higher than him, and he was willing to just look up and be the only existence in the shadow.

"Why didn't his assistant come?" asked the same period standing next to Leier.

The fact that Gawain had an assistant spread like wildfire, which also meant that the news that Gawain was about to run for the candidate lord became an open secret.It stands to reason that starting from this time, his assistants cannot be absent from any important ceremony, but Crewe did not come.

"Maybe some family matters have delayed it," Rael smoothed things over for Gawain, and had to smooth things over for Crewe.He can embarrass Gao Wen alone or in front of Crewe, but when the voices of doubt come from other directions, Leyle habitually resolves the embarrassment——"You know, the auxiliary families still have supreme guardianship."

The fellow at the same time expressed his understanding, but also clicked his tongue regretfully, "I thought you would be his assistant, you two are so good."

"A good relationship and support are two different things. Gawain knows which choice is more suitable for him." Leyle turned his head and smiled, ending the topic.

But is it really suitable?Rael laughed inwardly.He lied, and he couldn't convince himself of it.What he said at the same time was right, he should be the one standing next to Gao Wen, even if that little octopus came today, his appearance would definitely arouse everyone's discussion.

This was the worst decision Gawain made, Leyl still firmly thought so.

After the student representatives, tutor representatives and the principal gave their speeches, it was a carnival all night.The graduation ceremony will be held until the next morning, and the annual celebration ceremony will bring glory to all the non-graduates of Haicheng School.

Gao Wenwen wanted to go straight to where Leyle was, but the crowd that rushed up distracted their gazes.

Another unexpected figure stopped in front of Gao Wen, and brought an equally unexpected surprise.

That's right, it was Saru who came.And the gift he brought was Elena who "has always wanted to visit Haicheng School".

Crewe came home the night before, and he always thought that his father had something important to discuss with him, but after two days, his father didn't say anything, and neither did his brother Saru.

Tonight, Saru simply went out and didn't come back until dinner time, and the elder sister Elena who didn't come back at all.

"Father, where did they go?" Crewe sat at the long dining table, watching his father snap off a crab's leg with his tentacles.He vaguely felt that his family had something to hide from him, but he didn't know which direction to think.

The family has the habit of not telling him what they do, after all, he has never been regarded as one of them.The concept that blood is thicker than water does not exist in him, although Geraint has repeatedly stated that this is abnormal, very abnormal.

But what can Crewe do? Since he was a child, he has been accustomed to hearing the words "he should be thrown into the control center for research" or "why not lock him up" and "why he is not dead yet".Even though he didn't know what he did wrong, whenever his family used "something like you" as the beginning of a sentence, Crewe's throat seemed to be blocked, and he couldn't think of any rebuttals.

He also had nothing to say.Compared with his brothers and sisters, he is indeed stupid and ugly. Even though Geraint repeatedly emphasized that "you are much better-looking than them, and you will be smarter and better than them in the future", Crewe knows that this is Geraint's comfort. he.

Crewe didn't like eating crabs. During the years when he was hiding in an earthen jar with cracks in the stone, he was once frightened by a sea crab, and almost had one of its tentacles snapped off by it.So there are only a few clams on his plate, and the kelp is delicately rolled around the plate.

Clough often didn't answer his questions, so he didn't have to answer the question about the whereabouts of Saru and Elena that Crewe finally raised.

He was sipping the juices from one of the crab claws at the moment, ignoring Krewe's presence.

In Crewe's impression, this is his relationship with his father.Although his older brothers and sisters would dislike him or beat and scold him, it was better than his father ignoring him directly.

It was okay to be back home on the first day yesterday, after all, my brother and Elena were there, my father would talk to the other two, and the two would talk from beginning to end, and the dining table didn't seem too quiet.

Of course, Geraint was better when he was there.Because the older siblings would talk to Geraint, and Geraint would speak to Crewe.

I remember that when Geraint first came to Crewe's house, he asked him indignantly why his family was so virtuous, and that Crewe was also the youngest son of his family.

But Crewe didn't feel that there was anything wrong, and what Geraint said was still fresh in his memory - "Blind man, you are born blind."

Alas, Crewe was thinking of Geraint again.He didn't know what happened to Geraint now, and whether he still blamed him in his heart.

Crewe needs to find an opportunity to explain clearly to Geraint that although he can't save Geraint, he must at least let him know that he is always Geraint's friend and he has never betrayed him.

The dining table was still dead silent, as if Clough was the only one eating.The two octopus servants standing by the serving table are also like sculptures, and the grandfather clock in the corner makes a slight sound.

Crewe glanced at the clock. It was already eight o'clock in the evening, and the graduation ceremony must have begun.

Gao Wen must have spoken on stage as a student representative, and he must have used his young and powerful voice to tell his wandering about the future.And the entire auditorium was silent, and countless pairs of shining eyes were looking at him expectantly. .

Andrew must also be back, if he had not been chosen as a sacrifice, he would have stood at the center of the same period.He said that he couldn't miss this year's graduation ceremony anymore, after all, he had been delayed by such and other things for several years in the past.

He said that if he is lucky enough to be able to read the day of graduation, he will also stand on the stage.He admired Gawain and Rael a lot.Although I will never be able to become like them, it is good to try my best to get close.

Crewe sighed deeply.

After his father was full and returned to his pharmacy, he symbolically finished eating the kelp rolls around the plate.But none of the clams moved, and Crewe couldn't eat them.

After eating, he went into his room and closed the door behind him.

In fact, this year he also has good news to bring to his family. Although the results of the history test are still not satisfactory, the rest of the subjects are all among the best.Compared with the previous semester, his ranking has doubled, and he is almost catching up with Andre, who is in the top three.He believes that if Geraint's problems hadn't happened towards the end of the period, he would have been on the same level as Andre.

He thought it was a good thing to prove that he was not that stupid.

It's just that no one seems to care about this.

Before Saru went out today, Crewe also wanted to briefly mention it to Saru.But at that time, Saru and Elena were grooming meticulously, so they had no time to pay attention to him.

Before the cowhide envelope containing the report card that Crewe was holding touched Saru's hand, Saru withdrew his hand and asked him with a smile, "Did you cheat successfully this time?"

"No, it's probably because your tutor at Haicheng School really doesn't want to embarrass you anymore. If you continue to embarrass yourself, what will you do if you accidentally die?" Elena turned from the mirror, and when she passed by Crewe, she still He patted Crewe on the head.

Elena looked stunning in a very rich red and blue evening dress.Crewe didn't know her well and didn't know what to answer.He could only stare blankly at his elder brother and sister disappearing before his eyes, and he—yes, he was left alone again.
