After leaving the Great Barrier Reef, Xu Qiaoqiao and Jun Qi's trip became a matter of aimless wandering, going wherever the wind took them.
Xu Qiaoqiao answered many of her questions about the whale sharks' gathering, but she was still a little skeptical. So, the two of them participated in another gathering together later.
The address is in the sea area surrounding South Africa.
At this point, five years had passed since Xu Qiaoqiao and her friends last attended a gathering at the Great Barrier Reef.
Xu Qiaoqiao and Jun Qi are now 25-year-old whale sharks. According to human age conversion, they should be in their adolescence now. In about five more years, they will be adults.
Thinking about it carefully, time really flies. Xu Qiaoqiao couldn't help but sigh. When they arrived near South Africa, Xu Qiaoqiao suddenly remembered something.
"JunJun, when you left the whale shark mother, where did you leave from?"
Xu Qiaoqiao looked at him with curious eyes, waving her pectoral fins, and asked again, unsure.
Jun Qi showed no impatience whatsoever. He didn't seem to have any particular emotional fluctuations. This matter was as simple as eating: South Africa.
It really is near South Africa!
Xu Qiaoqiao became curious. She leaned closer and touched Jun Qi. There were no other messages, but her mind was racing.
If it really is near South Africa, then doesn't that mean Junjun's mother is here too? After all, it's a place she's familiar with, and Xu Qiaoqiao now knows a bit about whale sharks.
Almost all the whale sharks that come to the gathering are male; females are few, but not nonexistent. In addition, according to Junjun's previous description, the whale shark mothers return regularly once a year.
Moreover, that whale shark mother was not an ordinary whale shark mother, but the whale shark mother who gave birth to Jun Qi, which made her different in Xu Qiaoqiao's eyes.
To be honest, in all these worlds, it seems she has never met Junjun's relatives or anything. Apart from the cat world, where she had some friends, and the first world where she had a father who liked to mess with his children, she has been alone in all the other worlds.
This was always the case before I met myself.
So, this inevitably aroused Xu Qiaoqiao's curiosity. Even though the other party could no longer remember Junjun, she still wanted to see.
Thinking of this, Xu Qiaoqiao blinked, thought for a few seconds, and then asked Jun Qi another question: "Jun Jun, do you still remember the small white round spots on the back of the whale shark mother?"
Do you remember how they were arranged?
Although Xu Qiaoqiao didn't say it aloud, Jun Qi inexplicably understood what she meant. He looked at Xu Qiaoqiao with a deep gaze, his already blank eyes now appearing even more lifeless.
Without Xu Qiaoqiao needing to explain further, Jun Qi realized her true purpose. Over the past twenty-odd years, they hadn't met even once, and their kinship was already quite weak.
Now that Xu Qiaoqiao has said that, he doesn't feel any significant emotional fluctuation, but he is a little puzzled by Qiaoqiao's behavior.
Why would he want to see his mother?
If Qiaoqiao hadn't asked him that, he wouldn't have realized that this was a place he often passed through.
Jun Qi floated up slightly, then moved closer to Xu Qiaoqiao, slowly extending his pectoral fins to pat her head.
It means: I do remember, but she has definitely forgotten me.
After conveying this message, Jun Qi thought for a moment and seemed to feel that it wasn't enough, so he added: "We whale sharks don't have deep feelings for each other. They are different from us, so it's okay if they don't see her."
Xu Qiaoqiao raised her head slightly, met Jun Qi's gaze, and nodded slightly. Actually, she was just curious.
As the sun set behind the horizon, darkness quickly descended. A cool breeze blew by, and the moon peeked out, casting a hazy glow over the sea.
At this time, the whale sharks also began to return one after another. They were swimming in the same direction. Since they were all heading to the same destination, some whale sharks would swim together.
Xu Qiaoqiao and Jun Qi were only a thousand meters below the surface of the sea, so they were very safe. They didn't have to worry about being seen by humans or being attacked by any ferocious sea monsters.
After all, few can match the diving distance of a whale shark.
Although Jun Qi said those things, Xu Qiaoqiao was still a little concerned, inexplicably concerned. So, after much coaxing and pleading, Jun Qi finally agreed to let her look for his good mother among these whale sharks.
This is quite a difficult thing, but since he promised Qiaoqiao, he should do it well. Jun Qi thought about the scene in his memory, the star chart on the back of the whale shark mother, while staring at the backs of these whale sharks.
To make it easier to find, it floated up a few meters.
With so many whale sharks, Xu Qiaoqiao couldn't possibly find the one she remembered among them. She relied on their scent to distinguish them.
Although the patterns on the backs of each whale shark are different, Xu Qiaoqiao, who is selectively blind, cannot tell them apart at all.
Fortunately, Jun Qi actually found him.
Xu Qiaoqiao pointed to the whale shark swimming slowly over there, turned to look at Jun Qi, and waved her pectoral fins: Is that her?
Jun Qi saw the star chart on the other person's back and nodded in confirmation. He then nuzzled Xu Qiaoqiao's head with his pectoral fin: "It's her. I'm not mistaken."
Xu Qiaoqiao nodded to indicate that she understood, and then pulled Jun Qi along to chase after them, slowly swimming behind them.
There are many whale sharks here, so the mother whale shark is completely unaware of, or doesn't care about, the two extra little tails that have appeared behind her.
Perhaps that faint feeling disappeared after that time.
Jun Qi looked at the other's large tail, which was swaying slightly up and down, with a calm expression, as if he was thinking about something.
When the whale shark mother stopped, Xu Qiaoqiao and Jun Qi also stopped, and then the other started to rest without any warning.
Xu Qiaoqiao and Jun Qi looked at each other, and she suddenly felt a little embarrassed. Jun Qi, on the other hand, did not feel that way. He leaned over and kissed Qiaoqiao's lips, and even rubbed his lips against her kiss.
The pectoral fins were also slowly swaying: Are you tired? Do you want to take a nap? I'll stay here and watch over you.
Xu Qiaoqiao was fine at first, but Jun Qi's question made her really sleepy. She yawned, stretched her head over, and responded to his gesture: Okay, but you have to wake me up when the moon is halfway up the sky.
Jun Qi: Hmm?
Xu Qiaoqiao's eyes were bright as she leaned against Jun Qi and lazily said, "I'll keep watch for you for the rest of the night."
We each have half a fish.
