This is the first night that Xu Qiaoqiao and Jun Qi have spent here.
Perhaps it was too noisy during the day.
The next day, when Xu Qiaoqiao woke up, she felt a sharp pain in her tail.
Jun Qi looked at it with concern. There were no wounds, but Xu Qiaoqiao had indeed hit it very hard yesterday. The sound of the ice being struck was loud and clear.
It's like that feeling of soreness and tightness you feel the day after you've not exercised for a long time and then suddenly go all out.
I actually felt it yesterday too, but it wasn't as obvious.
"It's okay, there's no wound. If it hurts, I'll rub it for you, okay?"
Jun Qi spoke gently to Xu Qiaoqiao, and then actually swam to Xu Qiaoqiao's tail. Looking at the tail, which was about the same size as his own, he started to rub it gently. Xu Qiaoqiao hummed comfortably a few times.
She felt her face getting a little red.
This is the first time Junjun has touched my tail, such a special spot. Before, Junjun always kept it close to my pectoral fins or my head.
I feel really embarrassed.
Xu Qiaoqiao's gaze gradually turned shy. She wanted to move her tail to shake off the embarrassment. Her slippery tail wiggled back and forth, almost slipping out of her grasp, but Jun Qi grabbed it.
He looked in Xu Qiaoqiao's direction, and their eyes met instantly.
"Qiaoqiao, stop fooling around."
"Eek." No fuss.
"Doesn't your tail hurt? I'll rub it for you and it won't hurt anymore. Be a good boy/girl."
Listening to Jun Qi's gentle words of comfort, Xu Qiaoqiao suppressed her embarrassment, but her cheeks still felt hot, though she felt a sweet warmth in her heart.
Waaaaah~ Junjun is touching her own tail.
Although blue whales are not fish, their body structure has evolved to be similar to that of fish, with a slightly unique tail.
Xu Qiaoqiao blushed as she thought about it. She squinted her eyes, but could only see a silhouette. However, the tingling sensation on her tail was undeniable; her heart was pounding for no apparent reason.
"Hmm~"
Jun Qi's kneading movements were clumsy at first, but they became more and more skilled as time went on.
But it really feels comfortable.
Xu Qiaoqiao's thoughts reached Jun Qi's mind. Jun Qi smiled, let go of her hand, swam back to her, hugged Xu Qiaoqiao's head, and said in a slightly hoarse voice, "This feels so good. How about I massage you every day from now on?"
Xu Qiaoqiao twitched her tail uneasily. Indeed, it wasn't sore anymore. Before Jun Qi rubbed it, her tail was sore and swollen, and even the slightest movement hurt.
"Great! Great!"
Xu Qiaoqiao agreed without hesitation. It felt like getting a spa treatment, but the fact that the other party was Junjun made Xu Qiaoqiao calm down.
Today, the two of them still didn't have any plans, just wandering around and having fun. However, Xu Qiaoqiao's tail still couldn't move vigorously, so they couldn't play together for the time being. Instead, they simply enjoyed the scenery together.
It's morning now, and the sun is just like it was yesterday—not very bright, just enough to light up the sky, but not enough to dispel the chill over this sea area.
In the morning, Xu Qiaoqiao ate some plankton and shrimp from the water. As for Jun Qi, after yesterday's failure, Xu Qiaoqiao didn't dare to act up again and ate whatever he wanted.
"Eek." What are we going to do today?
Xu Qiaoqiao swam beside Jun Qi, her pectoral fins held by Jun Qi as if they were holding hands. They swam very slowly, but they both enjoyed the moment.
“I heard those big white fish say that there is a huge iceberg ahead that has not yet broken apart, and we can go and take a look.”
Jun Qi held Xu Qiaoqiao's hand and swam slowly. The two of them were actually swimming just a little bit below the sea level, which made it easier for Xu Qiaoqiao to breathe.
"I'll listen to Junjun."
Xu Qiaoqiao smiled, but then her tone turned slightly shy as she said, "Jun Jun, I'm hungry."
The food they just ate was clearly not enough to satisfy their hunger; for a blue whale of that size, its appetite is enormous.
Jun Qi was already used to Xu Qiaoqiao's appetite. She had said she was hungry more than once, so his subconscious thought was that there was nothing suitable for her to eat here, especially not in large quantities.
Although the climate here is frigid, the sea is still rich in fish and plankton, so you won't starve.
Soon, Jun Qi led Xu Qiaoqiao to another group of shrimp. Although it looked much smaller than yesterday's, they could just look for more.
And so, Jun Qi and Xu Qiaoqiao found one shrimp shoal after another. They only stopped when Xu Qiaoqiao was finally about half full. It was afternoon, the hottest time of day.
"Okay, okay, Junjun, I'm ready. Let's go up quickly."
Xu Qiaoqiao wagged her tail slightly, and then extended her pectoral fins, which Jun Qi immediately grasped.
Then they all emerged from the sea. Since Jun Qi had heard the news, he was allowed to lead the way.
The climate here is cold all year round. Even in summer, you can often see thick ice sheets drifting over the sea. Sometimes they look far away, but it is still very difficult to avoid them.
Xu Qiaoqiao's eyesight was poor, but fortunately, Jun Qi's eyesight was excellent, so he helped Xu Qiaoqiao avoid one floating ice layer after another and swim towards the inner sea.
The further Xu Qiaoqiao swam, the lower the temperature felt around her. The sea and sky seemed to be sharply separated, with the deep blue sea and the light blue sky appearing as if they had been cut apart by a small knife.
Xu Qiaoqiao thought to herself, "But it's still very beautiful, the contrast is particularly striking."
Suddenly, Jun Qi stopped and said to Xu Qiaoqiao, "It'll be dangerous if we swim any further. Can we see anything like this?"
Xu Qiaoqiao raised her head and looked in the direction Jun Qi was pointing. She saw a small iceberg floating on the sea. It wasn't very big, and because it was quite far away, it took her a long time to realize that it was an iceberg.
It's so small...
Xu Qiaoqiao: That's it?
Jun Qi didn't speak, but instead led Xu Qiaoqiao into the sea. They didn't swim forward, but stayed in the same spot.
When Xu Qiaoqiao looked over again, she was stunned.
The icebergs floating on the sea surface are not very big, but the icebergs hidden in the seawater are of such different sizes!
A huge iceberg floats in the sea. The faint sunlight shines into the water, making it appear as if there are faint shimmering lights flowing around it. It is crystal clear and stands out particularly in the seawater.
If you encounter a small glacier on the sea, that's not a big deal. What's important is that there might be a much larger glacier hidden beneath it. Xu Qiaoqiao had only seen this in pictures before, but seeing it in person was truly awe-inspiring.
