Joe seems to enjoy playing pranks, especially splashing them with water, as evidenced by a video previously posted by a photographer named George.

However, this was the first time they had received such a special welcome from Joe.

I was slightly flattered and a little dumbfounded.

Good heavens, the water splashed so hard that their exposed heads were completely soaked, their hair sticking wetly to their faces.

"Hey, you're such a bad guy!"

Xu Qiaoqiao saw a blond, blue-eyed young man inside say those words to her. She blinked and took a ride around the small boat with Jun Qi. It was just an ordinary sightseeing boat, nothing special.

Seeing how interested Xu Qiaoqiao was, Jun Qi also became slightly interested in the ship. However, because the memory of the whale that crashed into the ship was too vivid, the fate of the whale was too tragic.

So for a while, he didn't dare to swim too close, and just stayed quietly with Xu Qiaoqiao a meter or two away.

Although Xu Qiaoqiao had managed to appease him earlier, the shadow in his heart didn't disappear so quickly.

His eyes were fixed on the ship and Xu Qiaoqiao, as if afraid that this guy might crash into the ship at any moment.

Xu Qiaoqiao naturally sensed Jun Qi's wariness. She kept him a meter away from her and refused to get any closer.

Sensing Xu Qiaoqiao's gaze, Jun Qi wagged his tail, hesitated for a few seconds, and swam towards her, nuzzling her pectoral fins. This action caused Xu Qiaoqiao to move a few centimeters further away from the boat.

Okay, it seems you're really scared.

Xu Qiaoqiao looked at the big guy rubbing against her pectoral fins and smiled helplessly. Then, following Jun Qi's action, she slowly took a few steps back.

Thinking of what Jun Qi had said, if a whale crashes into a ship, it certainly won't survive, even though whales are very resilient and some can survive being plowed by a propeller.

However, the scene that Junjun still remembers must have been very cruel and terrifying.

In that case, let's go.

Xu Qiaoqiao raised her pectoral fins, patted Jun Qifang's head, and conveyed a message to him: Junjun, let's go.

Anyway, we've already seen and caused trouble. If these humans were in the sea, we might even be able to play together. Since Junjun is so afraid of this kind of ship, let's find some other games to play instead.

After receiving Xu Qiaoqiao's message accurately, Jun Qi breathed a sigh of relief and then became excited. He felt a sweet warmth in his heart, knowing that the little one had left so quickly because of him.

Watching Jun and Qiao's departing figures, the people on the boat were puzzled again. Why did these two little guys leave again? So Qiao brought Jun over just to splash them with water?

Xu Qiaoqiao: No, no, no, I just came to say hello.

We whale sharks are so friendly and kind, how could we do such bad things?

"However, this is quite in line with Joe's style of doing things."

"However, you seem to be very quiet and haven't made any other movements."

"Haven't you always been like this? If you hadn't fallen in love with Qiao at first sight and stayed by her side recently, you probably would look even more unapproachable than you do now."

“I also think what Vic said is right, but the phrase ‘love at first sight’ seems a bit awkward.”

Vic laughed heartily, "Why not? Besides, humans are said to have so many people who fall in love at first sight, so why can't animals? And who knows if Jun and Qiao will break up in the end? But it will definitely be a very beautiful relationship."

Life is so long, it's already difficult enough to find someone you love. Besides, we're all animals, what more can we ask for?

The others smiled helplessly when they heard Vic's words. It was true, but if that were the case, the animals' emotions were driven by estrus hormones. Who knew if the two of them would separate the next second?

but……

As Vic thought about Jun and Joe, he couldn't help but mutter, "However, there doesn't seem to be much information about whale sharks' mates."

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone's eyes lit up. That's right, besides the information on lifestyle habits, there was a lack of information on many other aspects.

Their work of observing and studying animals involves combining the animals' postures and behaviors with their inner thoughts.

Whether for animals or humans, body language is very important because it is how they express their inner feelings such as fear, anger, anxiety, joy, attraction and repulsion towards the opposite sex.

So this trip wasn't entirely fruitless.

On the other side, as Xu Qiaoqiao led Jun Qi away from the small boat, she noticed that his emotions were gradually calming down. Once the small boat was no longer in sight, Jun Qi returned to his original state, circling around Xu Qiaoqiao and starting to ramble on and on.

The story begins with the whale that was hit and killed, but this whale is not the one Jun Qi just mentioned to Xu Qiaoqiao; it is a different whale that was hit by a ship.

The whale was stuck on a nose cone at the bow of the ship. It could sense that the other party was still alive, but the humans who saw it ignored the whale and instead watched the show.

Hearing Jun Qi tell this story, Xu Qiaoqiao felt a little sad. Some people really are like that. Seeing that Jun Qi also looked sad, she leaned over and kissed him, pressing her body close to his, hoping that this would make him feel better.
