First mate is not easy

Their positions, ages, and physical conditions are all different, including the fat sailor himself, and even the name of Kerry, who was old Pade's deputy and deputy charge captain, was named. When these people stretched their necks, inexplicably While listening to his name being read, and waiting for someone to announce what it meant, the long list was finally read to the end by the fat sailor...

When his eyes jumped to the end of the parchment in his hand, he actually stopped.

The smug look on that face was gone.

A hideous expression appeared on Lan Lan's face: "Read it, are you dumb? Why didn't you read the last sentence?"

As he spoke, he snatched the parchment with his hands, cursed "If you don't read it, I'll read it for you", then changed into a voice that everyone could hear, and read the last sentence on the parchment aloud come out--

"The crew members recorded in the above list have the right to voluntarily give up following the sea mission. In the name of the first mate and acting captain of the Seaz, I promise that the Seaz will give them all the materials agreed in the contract as a Severance expenses, and an additional appropriate amount of silver coins according to the actual situation, as compensation for early termination of the labor contract."

After reading the parchment, Lando casually folded it and smashed it into the face of the dumbfounded fat sailor again.

There was a moment of dead silence.

Everyone's astonishment was fixed on their faces.

On the wharf with hundreds of people, the only thing that can be heard is the roar of the waves beating on the side of the Sheath; the sound of the wind blowing the sails on the ship; —

Until I don't know who it is, Raymond's name is called.

Then the second person, the third person.

More and more people joined the team, and the voice became louder and louder—until people who were far away from the pier heard the movement, turned their heads and stretched their necks to visit, sighing——

"Why are the people on the Seaz going crazy today? Gathering there early in the morning and calling out their first officer's name like a slogan? Is it okay to send out gold?"

……

At night, in the first officer's lounge.

"Why stand up? Isn't it a good opportunity to lose my heart forever and regain the right to speak of the fleet?"

"Are you speaking human language?"

"Monkey language."

Lando stared at Raymond for a while, and the latter did not show any discomfort for a long time. It seems that he has long been used to living with peace of mind under Lando's gaze... The two of them only had a moment, Seeing the increasingly obvious struggle and hesitation in the black-haired young man's eyes, the man slightly raised the corners of his lips, and for a long time, until the atmosphere in the cabin became a little weird, Lando said, "You don't want to do it, do you? "

"Isn't that just what you want? Isn't it the man who's been clamoring every day to get the Sheets back—"

Before Raymond could finish his sentence, the black-haired young man slapped the desk hard and interrupted him—this was unprecedented bravery, looking at the entire Shiats, even when the old captain was alive, No one would be so bold as to interrupt Raymond's speech in such a rude way. It can be seen how angry the person standing in front of him at this moment is... The expression on Lando's face changed again and again, It seemed that there was a lot to say, and after a long time, those thousands of words finally turned into a sigh.

"Raymond, in fact, you should also know that people like me are not suitable for floating around on the sea. Maybe casinos and bars are more suitable for me? I originally planned to find the Leviathan and—"

"I'm not arguing, it's just because I didn't know you brought the list I wrote with you," Raymond interrupted Lando in a leisurely manner. He looked at the black-haired young man as if he didn't listen at all. What did he say a second ago, "If this kind of thing is taken out after the fact, it will only be forcibly judged as sophistry, and it will only be counterproductive. The fleet may really break up. With me alone, there is no way to find Levi Tan."

Lando was stunned for a while: "If you leave, you will leave. If you can't find it, you won't find it. Now we are also short of manpower. Do you think I will blame you?"

"You won't, but I can't either."

"why?"

"I promise your dad will take care of you and this boat."

"The old guy is already dead, how long will you be kidnapped morally by his mother?" Lando felt that he was losing his mind, "My father regards you as his own son, and he certainly doesn't want you because His dying nonsense bound himself—”

"You care about my feelings?"

"Is this fucking nonsense? How bad is my image in your mind—"

"So what you did today wasn't just to save the Sheath?"

Lando let out a "tsk" impatiently and was about to answer, when he suddenly realized that Raymond's question seemed a bit strange, so he swallowed the words abruptly, his face flushed, he turned his head and stared at Raymond De, silently asked with his eyes: What crazy words are you talking about?

Unexpectedly, the smile on the corner of the man's lips became clearer. He walked around from the other side of the desk and came in front of the black-haired young man. When the shadow cast by his tall figure cast the black-haired young man When it was completely enveloped, he bent down and took the hand of the black-haired young man whose buttocks were already touching the edge of the desk, who was unable to be suppressed by his momentum and wanted to step back. He paused, sounding like he didn't know What kind of emotional voice said softly: "It seems that I still owe you a thank you."

Lando felt that his hair stood on end and sang the hymn "Long Live Queen Hilton", his eyes stared straight at his hand that was lightly grasped by the man, and the corners of his lips twitched: "Just... don't worry about it. "

"Then instead of 'thank you', let me tell you the truth." Raymond lowered his body, held the hand of the black-haired young man with one hand to prevent him from backing away, leaned closer to him, and kissed the tip of their noses. Almost touching each other, they stopped at a close distance, and those blue pupils shone with seriousness, "Ignore the old captain's last wish, as far as my personal wishes are concerned, I put 'take care of you' over 'take care of you'." Good Sheltz' before."

“……………………………………………………”

Lando's head buzzed for more than ten seconds.

Until he realizes his face is hot enough to fry a tomato.

He shook off the man's hand, and pushed him away frivolously——

"Who, who wants you to take care of me! I have hands and feet! Just take care of this broken ship!"

"..."

The man took two steps back, and finally stood still under the dim light of the shaking kerosene lamp——Under the mixed light, the man slightly lifted his jaw into a proud arc, and the smile on the corner of his lips deepened——

"Then it's better to be respectful than to obey."
