Jun Qi was merely trying to understand the extra memories; in essence, he still considered himself a fish.

It won't be a wolf, owl, tiger, polar bear, or anything like that.

The most obvious change is that his personality has become much more composed, and when he expresses his feelings to Xu Qiaoqiao, he no longer has that cute and adorable feeling as before.

He exudes a very aloof aura, and coupled with the crisscrossing scars on his back, the whole fish looks imposing.

The two of them floated in the sea in this embracing posture. There were only a few whistling winds outside. The seabed was very quiet, and the sound of the current was very faint.

Xu Qiaoqiao blinked, and she couldn't help but think of the previous worlds. It seemed that after the world of the tiger, she hadn't met Jun Qi, who had all the memories, much.

Unexpectedly, fate still brought us together.

She took the initiative to send another message to Jun Qi: Jun Jun, do you still remember the Blue Whale?

Jun Qi looked ahead into the hazy distance, but in his mind, he had already recalled the world of the blue whale: He remembered that in that world, it seemed that we could transform into human form.

Xu Qiaoqiao quickly waved her pectoral fins: That's right, that's right, and there's also the polar bear world in the back, remember?

After conveying this message, Xu Qiaoqiao seemed to realize something. This silly brain of hers! Jun Qi had already mentioned polar bears to her, of course she remembered!

Jun Qi answered Xu Qiaoqiao honestly: I remember.

These two worlds were the worlds where she had abandoned Jun Qi a long, long time ago. Perhaps it was a bit of a masochistic thing of hers, but she wanted to know how Jun Jun had spent those days after she left.

Before Xu Qiaoqiao could even convey her words, Jun Qi seemed to already know something. He slowly recalled what she was saying and answered Xu Qiaoqiao's question:

"It took too long, but very little was accomplished."

Those creatures with fish tails, I remember you called them merfolk?

In the world of merfolk, after you left, I stayed in the seas we used to live in. Nothing seemed different, but the water felt colder. Without you by my side, I felt so sad.

Although Jun Qi's words were calm, and the whole fish was calm, Xu Qiaoqiao inexplicably became sad. She snuggled against Jun Qi's chest several times, sobbing: "I'm also very sad to leave you so early."

"I watched your body sink into the sea, and then I died there too. I was quite happy, it felt like I was a senior."

Jun Qi lowered his head and kissed Xu Qiaoqiao's palate before continuing to answer her next question:

"Polar bear, you left that world too early. You slept for too long, and your body even smelled bad. I washed you several times, but you still didn't wake up."

"I took your body to many places, and finally found that you started to rot and stink."

"Of course the flesh will rot after it dies. If you encounter something like this again, remember to bury me, not take me away." Xu Qiaoqiao was so upset that she wanted to cry, but she held back because she thought it was strange to see a crying fish. She could only rub her head against Jun Qi's chest.

Jun Qi: Bury it? Like we bury those food items?

Xu Qiaoqiao: Yes, but you have to bury it deeper, otherwise if other animals find it, my body will be eaten.

"Oh, I see." Jun Qi looked dazed. He nodded, but the thought that this was based on Qiao Qiao walking ahead of him made him feel like he had a fishbone stuck in his throat. He was unhappy, it hurt, and it was getting in his way.

He slowly flapped his pectoral fins: No, I don't want you to go ahead of me.

Xu Qiaoqiao's heart clenched again: I know, but this is not something I can control, I'm sorry.

Jun Qi's gaze was calm: You don't need me to apologize, you're fine.

Xu Qiaoqiao flicked her tail and continued: You are very good too.

Then came some random things about Jun Qi, all dredged up from his memories, especially his inner thoughts about certain events at the time. After hearing this, Xu Qiaoqiao realized that both of them were completely wrong.

Both sides clearly misunderstood each other's meaning, but the result was correct.

"I miss you so much." Jun Qi conveyed many messages, and finally, looking at the whale shark in his arms, he added these four words.

Xu Qiaoqiao paused in her burrowing motion, feeling a mix of joy and sadness. She quickly flapped her pectoral fins in small movements, without conveying any words.

"I miss you so much too," she murmured to herself, a longing so intense it was more than the ocean's depths, but thankfully they found each other.

At this moment, the snow on the sea had started to fall heavily, and by the time Xu Qiaoqiao noticed, small snowdrifts had begun to accumulate on the sea surface.

If you could just swat it around a bit, the snow would melt quickly and flow into the sea.

"Then, Qiaoqiao, will we still be together in the future?"

"Of course, because we only have each other."

...

The time leading up to adulthood seemed to pass by exceptionally quickly. By the time this year was over and spring arrived next year, Xu Qiaoqiao still hadn't quite caught up.

You're an adult now.

She is now a fully grown fish.

Jun Qi was clearly aware of this as well. He had regained a lot of his memories and was very clear about what adulthood meant.

After leaving the Ross Sea and heading north, Xu Qiaoqiao and Jun Qi are now looking for a suitable harbor to rest and reproduce.

On the way, Jun Qi took a moment to ask Xu Qiaoqiao: Qiaoqiao, what if our child is just an ordinary child?

Xu Qiaoqiao looked over with curious eyes, not understanding what Jun Qi meant: What do you mean by "very ordinary"?

Jun Qi: Just like ordinary whale sharks, once they grow up or develop the ability to protect themselves, they simply leave you.

Xu Qiaoqiao: Then leave, as long as you don't leave me.

Xu Qiaoqiao had certainly thought about this, but after much thought, she realized that it wasn't that important. For her, only Jun Qi was the most important and special person.

She doesn't insist on what kind of child she has. In any race, there will always be a few outcasts, and the child's parents have already taken up two spots.

Xu Qiaoqiao and Jun Qi eventually arrived at a sea area near Hainan Island. They wanted to go as deep as possible, as the whale sharks' large-scale activity was the most dangerous time.

Whale sharks mate between May and November. As long as mating is successful, there's no problem. They don't necessarily mate during these months.

For Jun Qi and Xu Qiaoqiao, perhaps the advantage of being of the same kind is that they don't have to suppress themselves.
