The two whale sharks just stared at each other for several minutes.
At this moment, the sun had slowly risen above the horizon, and its warm orange light began to shine on the sea. The clouds in the distance gradually dispersed, and the sky gradually became clearer. It was dawn.
The whale sharks left the area one by one, with only a few lingering there. Seabirds circled overhead, landing one by one on the rocks.
Xu Qiaoqiao kept her eyes fixed on the whale shark opposite her. She sensed its presence, thought for a few seconds, and realized it was completely unfamiliar, which meant she had never encountered this whale shark before.
What caught Xu Qiaoqiao's attention the most was the other's back, with its mottled scars of varying sizes that looked particularly frightening. Just by looking at them, one could imagine that this whale shark had gone through many ferocious battles.
But aren't whale sharks the gentlest of animals?
The wounds on this whale shark look like teeth marks, and its owner must have been quite large. If that's the case, how did you survive?
Looking into the other's eyes, Xu Qiaoqiao felt very curious. She tried moving forward a little, but the whale shark did not make any other moves during this time.
Could you be Junjun?
A different kind of whale shark... cub?
Xu Qiaoqiao tilted her head, trying to convey this meaning to the other party, but unfortunately, she could not make a sound, and could only make some simple movements. However, some sharks use their fins to fan water to transmit information.
She hadn't tried this method much, but the other person had tried communicating with her.
Its size was about the same as hers, less than two meters tall. Although its imposing presence was intimidating, it didn't scare Qiaoqiao.
Just then, dawn broke. After a whole night of work, Xu Qiaoqiao's stomach was growling with hunger. She looked up at the sky and saw that the sun had already revealed its full face. The sky was clear today, without a single cloud.
Why not invite them over for breakfast? Xu Qiaoqiao knows this area of the sea like the back of her hand.
Hopefully, this whale shark won't be scared away like the one before.
Thinking this, Xu Qiaoqiao tried to move a little closer to the other side. Unable to make a sound, she could only wag her little tail and splash around on the sea surface several times, making a loud noise.
Seeing Xu Qiaoqiao's actions, Jun became somewhat curious. To be honest, the whale shark in front of him was the first intelligent one of its kind he had encountered in all his time swimming in the ocean.
For Jun, anything that can react and communicate with him is a smart fellow, and clearly, the whale shark in front of him is such a creature.
Although the start wasn't great, this whale shark did pique your interest.
He slightly raised his heavy head and swung his fins a few times in the water, as a reaction to the other party's previous action.
hello.
He was greeting the whale shark.
Seeing the other party's actions, Xu Qiaoqiao was very satisfied. Very good, very bold, unlike ordinary whale sharks, which makes the possibility even greater.
But three seconds later, she realized that the other person had just greeted her.
Seeing the other's blank expression, Jun felt a little disappointed. Could it be that he was overthinking things? With the mindset of giving it another try, he continued to move his fins to convey some information to the other.
Hello, little one.
This time she really heard correctly. Xu Qiaoqiao's eyes lit up when she looked at Jun Qi. Excited, Xu Qiaoqiao rushed forward and touched the fish's fin with her square head.
Are you talking to me?
This was the first time Xu Qiaoqiao had received information from someone of the same kind. She had thought that whale sharks couldn't talk, but it turned out that she had been prejudiced. Even if they couldn't talk, they still had other ways of communicating.
Hey, kids without parents to teach them won't know anything.
Xu Qiaoqiao immediately thought of the whale shark mother who abandoned her due to an accident when she was born.
She didn't hold any resentment towards the other party. After all, with such a huge storm and the sea constantly churning, it was already a miracle that she was still alive.
They are not human, so we cannot apply human standards to them; nature is cruel.
Upon feeling Xu Qiaoqiao's touch, Jun stopped moving his fins. He twisted his large body, staring blankly at her, quite surprised by her intimate actions.
What are you doing?
Xu Qiaoqiao shook her big head slightly at the other person, "I don't know what to say."
This whale shark can't communicate?
The thought immediately popped into Jun's mind.
Meanwhile, the researchers observing this phenomenon on their screens were utterly astonished; what had just happened was truly astonishing.
When Jun and Qiao met each other, unlike ordinary whale sharks that simply ignored each other, they started to greet each other.
Could it be because of that accident?
Aside from his initial evasive action, it was clear that he was wary. However, his initial greeting showed that his wariness was gradually decreasing.
"I'm so surprised. They truly deserve to be called the two most special members of the whale shark group," the old professor said, adjusting his glasses.
Such a phenomenon is rare, or rather, it has hardly ever been seen, especially among fish.
