Rhines' memory went blank for a moment, and after a moment of daze, he slowly filled in the gap with the cicadas singing outside the window.

——August is a playmate who grew up with his childhood sweetheart.

The silver-haired boy was a few months younger than him, and he came from a certain village south of the Sauk family.It's not too far from here, but Rhines hasn't been to his house to play.

Memory told him so.

It was like this when the two of them met for the first time. August probably thought that the third floor of the earl's house, which hadn't been visited by anyone for a long time, was not inhabited at all, so he wanted to climb in to have a look.

Who knew that he happened to bump into Rhines who was getting up.

If Rhines' gender could be changed, this would be a perfect beginning of a fairy tale, where the poor boy from the peasant family meets the beautiful lady who is not valued by the noble family.

But the reality is obviously different from the story. The frightened Rhines almost threw August down with a book.

Fortunately, August must have climbed many trees, not only dodged the book, but also jumped in and threatened his brother Rhines, who was two months older than him, on the table.

It was the dilapidated wooden table opposite Rhines, which was originally an expensive piece of furniture in the earl's study, but now it can only be used to store some historical books in his room.

The fine carvings on it caused a lot of bruises on his back, and August was also shocked by his delicate skin later, and never dared to put such a heavy hand on Rhines since then.

Almost six years have passed since that day, and August has changed from a child who needs to raise his hand to cover Rhines, to a teenager who now prefers to smile and lean down to look at him.The point of climbing through the window to find someone has not changed at all.

Rhines bent his lips, "Long time no see, August."

But the cow cat under Rhines puffed up his back hair the moment he saw August, his mouth opened and two teeth bared, and he gasped at August.

It was obviously a kitten, but it was instantly aroused into the posture of a hunter.

Reines was taken aback, and quickly hugged the cowcat by the chest to stop it from coming back.

August's skill seemed to be lighter than that of the cat, and he had already landed on the floor in two strokes.

"It still doesn't like me at all." August said so, but his hand didn't seem to be intimidated at all, and he raised his hand and tapped the tip of the cow cat's nose with his index finger.

"Meow!"

Rhines hurriedly hugged the cow cat's outstretched paw with a thin blanket, "Be good, cat, stop making trouble."

Immediately afterwards, he raised his head to August, who was still reaching out to tease him, "Don't bully it either."

August's fingertips snapped.

Rhines' voice cannot be fierce. Before the mermaid blood was awakened, he was just an ordinary human who was weaker than ordinary people.

So when he raised his jaw slightly like this, and warned August with a clear voice, he inexplicably revealed a kind of comfortable arrogance.

It just makes people want to do whatever he says.

August shrank his pupils imperceptibly, he had never seen Rhines like this before.

But if the memories he engraved on Rhines really exist.

In the period after Rhines' mother died, there was someone who made him feel completely at ease without his vigilance.

If all this had happened, Rhines would have been more of a tosser than the cat in his arms.

But even if Little Silver Tail is tossing people, it must be soft.He will boss August to pour water, and will take back his own parchment in displeasure, he is very suitable to be pampered.

August withdrew his hand, he really wanted to raise Rhines like that.

But there may be some ups and downs in the middle, after all, the memory he engraved in Rhines' brain can only last until the merman's bloodline wakes up.

Hypnosis cannot be used between the same race.

"You like it better anyway." August complained with a smile, the dark blue pupils were dazzled by the wanton mischievousness in them.

Rhines always felt that when August went to work in the towns after he became an adult, he would definitely be favored by many young ladies.

He helped the cow cat get off the bed, "You are the one who is bullying it."

As he spoke, he reached out and put the cow cat on the raised cabinet, separating the two of them.

Turning around, I couldn't hide my excitement, "Last week, the manager of the Nedermar Bank branch said that I could try it out in advance. Although other accountants can only accept employment after they reach adulthood, I can enter as an apprentice first."

"Because it's considered a formal job, Niederma Bank can show proof."

Rhines' water-blue pupils just happened to catch a piece of golden sunlight, "I think I can leave here without waiting."

This is what he fantasized about on the first day he was accepted into the Sauk family.

"Really?" August also looked very happy. "Brother Rhines, do you know where the bank is located? I can go there to find a job."

Rhines was taken aback, "But you haven't even reached sixteen."

"Not all jobs require a letter of employment." August seemed a little helpless.

Indeed, most of the jobs that civilians can get involve physical strength, and they are paid by the piece or by the day.Of course, there is no need for Rhines to strictly check age qualifications, and he can work when he goes there.

August turned around and sat down at the desk, looking at Rhines with his chin propped on one hand, and tapped on the table with the other hand.

"Go wash and change clothes, brother Rhines. Today, I will go to the place where you are going to work and take a walk today, which can be regarded as knowing the way in advance."

He looks more like a noble young master than Rhines.It's hard for people to imagine how such a person would sell his physical strength under the sun.

But children from poor families are like this, and there is almost no other way out.

Rhines looked at him quietly, seemingly hesitating.

It really looked like a deer wandering by the trap.

"...August, do you want to study?" Rhines asked, "You can hire a tutor to teach alone. I heard that many students who have not graduated from the college will find part-time jobs during the holidays. Knowledge reserves and formal teachers are not the same. There is no difference."

Rhines used to discuss life with his mother at the bottom, so of course he knew the tragic end of those civilians.

There is not enough money to treat a disease.Rhines didn't want August to become like that.

He was thinking about how to persuade August, when he heard a "Ok."

——August smiled and narrowed his eyes, "But I have never been to school, and I don't even know the basic words. Brother Rhines wants to teach me one by one."

Rhines naturally complied.

"I don't know letters and numbers, and my brother needs to teach symbols and typography."

Rhines knew that he was starting to talk nonsense, but he nodded in good humor.

"But I don't even know how to hold a quill pen like this. Will Brother Rhines hug me and write like a character in a poem?"

……

Rhines turned his head and bumped into August's smiling blue pupils.

"You know how to do it, you don't need me to teach you."

August seriously shook his head, "I won't."

"You know it. You helped me when I was transcribing a collection of poems last time." Rhines exposed the little bamboo horse's lies, "And you know them all, otherwise how would you know that the characters in it are holding..."

The collection of poems that can be paid for to be transcribed by others is a certain genre that is popular if it is a classic.

Rather, the culprit just kept looking at him like this, turning around to avoid his sight when Rhines saw him.

An inexplicable atmosphere spread between the two, and the young people's emotions should have been hot and direct.

But Rhines is used to restraint and forbearance, while the other one prefers to control the overall situation quietly.

No one is touched, the sweet breath will slowly fill up all the sharp obstacles, and August is not in a hurry.

The black and white cow cat watched the following scene tensely, paws on the edge of the closet.

It didn't know why the blond human being who made itself very comfortable got along well with that monster, but it didn't prevent it from abhorring August.

The cow cat stared at August, its lower limbs bulging and pressing down, ready to attack at any time.

And at this moment, August didn't know whether it was intentional or not, and raised his eyes to glance at it.

The shark smiled contemptuously.

!

The cat exploded in anger, and rushed down with a groan, about to bite someone.The reaction ability of cats is not comparable to that of humans, but the moment it felt that its sharp claws were about to catch August, it was strangled by someone from the front.

——!

The merman's vertical pupils suddenly appeared, and then disappeared suddenly.

You are really not afraid of death, he said with his eyes.

"August?" Rhines came out of the bathroom because he heard the noise.

The little bamboo horse with its back to him controlled the cow cat with both hands, and complained to Rhines pretending to be wronged, "It grabbed me."

"Meow—"

"...Aren't you immature? You still fight with cats..." Rhines stepped forward to take the cat, but there was nothing he could do with the little bamboo horse.

In Rhines' memory, it's not a day or two for these two to fight each other, and he doesn't mind holding the cat too much.

But August could see clearly.

The cowcat who was barking its teeth and claws at him just now was lying in Rhines' arms, even its tail was retracting.

— quite an eyesore.

But he only ate a dozen humans this morning, and now his blood vessels are full.What's more, Rhines is still by his side...

August got up and helped Rhines straighten the neckline, "Anyway, Brother Rhines always prefers it."

This was an almost embracing action, and the cow cat was being pressed between the two of them. Looking from its angle, Rhines's rose-colored lips were shyly pursed, and the corners of the lips were slightly hooked.

As for August, he lowered his eyes.

You see, no matter how hard you try, Rhines can't escape.

……

The two originally planned to go to the bank where Rhines was going to work in the future, but of course August turned back through the window.

And Rhines naturally walked through the door of Suoke's house.

It's just that today is different - Rhines just walked into the corridor, and looked down with some surprise.

The originally spacious hall was now filled with more than 100 soldiers in iron armor, and the leader was a researcher in a white robe of extremely tall stature.
