The Arctic Circle, huh~ If I were to give a proper explanation, Junjun would definitely ask a ton of questions, so let's think of a way to explain it in simple and easy-to-understand sentences.

Xu Qiaoqiao thought for a while, originally wanting to explain clearly, but then she thought that Junjun wouldn't delve into these issues. So before explaining the answer, she asked Junqi another question: Junjun, when you came to the Arctic last time, was the sky bright or dark here?

Jun Qi wagged his tail and answered with absolute certainty: "It's black, it's always been black, it's very strange."

When this was mentioned, Jun Qi's eyes suddenly widened (though not by much), as if he had realized something. He stared blankly at Xu Qiaoqiao, wondering what she would say next.

When Xu Qiaoqiao heard Jun Qi say this, she swung her pectoral fins: "The Arctic Circle is a dividing line to distinguish the phenomena you just mentioned. Look at the places we've traveled through; they all have day and night, but the Arctic is different, right?"

Jun Qi swam slowly close to Xu Qiaoqiao, his tail hooking around hers: That's right.

Sensing the guy's movements, Xu Qiaoqiao didn't mind. Swimming like that would be slower, but since she wasn't in a hurry, it didn't matter.

She stated: "So, the Arctic Circle is such a dividing line."

Jun Qi nodded, indicating that he understood.

Three days later, the two of them entered the Arctic Circle. At the same time, the sky became completely dark, as the Arctic was in the midst of polar night.

Xu Qiaoqiao pulled Jun Qi along and peeked out, looking at the icy blue sea and the dark sky. Everything here felt familiar to her.

Qiaoqiao.

Jun Qi nuzzled his head against Xu Qiaoqiao's tail affectionately, trying to get her attention. But after a few seconds, he realized that she didn't react, so he swam away.

Qiao Qiao?

Seeing Xu Qiaoqiao's absent-minded look, Jun Qi tilted his head, realizing she was just daydreaming.
