This year, Xu Qiaoqiao and Jun Qi have grown another year older.
They are now five-year-old whale shark babies...
Whale sharks can live for a very long time, with some even living to be over a hundred years old. At five years old, they are indeed babies. However, among animals, some baby whale sharks, like Junqi, may have already left their companions and begun to wander alone.
That year, Jun Qi continued to urge Xu Qiaoqiao to go out and have fun with him.
At first, Xu Qiaoqiao didn't pay much attention, but after it happened a few times, she naturally started to notice. Why was this guy acting so strangely?
Junjun has never done this before, so why does she insist on me going out with her?
There seems to be something wrong here.
Xu Qiaoqiao narrowed her eyes slightly. She turned her head slightly and looked at the whale shark beside her. The whale shark was swimming leisurely. When it noticed her gaze, it sneakily came closer and gently touched her eyes with its mouth, just like a leaf falling onto the water.
Jun Qi flapped his pectoral fins: Qiao Qiao, are we really not going out? I can protect you. If you don't believe me, look at my back. I'm super strong.
When he finally uttered those words, he looked extremely proud, and his head unconsciously tilted back.
It's really impressive. The scars are of different sizes. The smaller scars have healed over time and look blurry, but the larger scars are different; they are very gruesome.
It's obvious at a glance that he has experienced many dangerous escapes.
It would have been better if Jun Qi hadn't brought it up. Once he did, Xu Qiaoqiao's attention was completely diverted. She looked at his back, which was covered with various scars, almost all of them teeth marks. Just looking at them made her a little scared.
In the ocean, what fish, like him, takes pride in the large scars on its back?
When this matter was mentioned, Xu Qiaoqiao became somewhat unhappy. She knew that Junjun had left his companions at such a young age for her sake, but how did he manage to do it and attract so much hatred?
Young whale sharks are indeed food for many large carnivorous marine mammals. She suddenly remembered how Jun Qi fought with the great white shark before; he was incredibly powerful.
Junqi saw that Xu Qiaoqiao was starting to drift off again, and wagged his tail helplessly. Qiaoqiao was always like this; whenever this topic came up, she would start to space out.
After Xu Qiaoqiao's repeated requests, she finally corrected some of his verbal tic-tac-toe habits, including calling her by her name.
Heaven knows what's wrong with this whale shark's brain. Why not use a perfectly good name? It had to use something like "little guy," "little whale shark," or "cutie," making Xu Qiaoqiao extremely embarrassed.
Therefore, she was determined to make Junjun change.
Where did they learn these bad habits? They're so annoying.
Besides, Xu Qiaoqiao also likes Junjun to call her by her name, Qiaoqiao.
Moreover, she believes that names themselves have magic power; a two- or three-word spell is the simplest and most powerful spell in the world.
Seimei once said: It is the shortest curse in the world, a curse that can bind you to this world.
It is a spell that can be invoked for a lifetime.
Therefore, Xu Qiaoqiao takes her name very seriously.
As for Jun Qi himself, he didn't know his own name. He only knew that he would be especially happy when the other person called his name, and his fins that were waving in the sea would move faster and with greater amplitude.
This was also something that puzzled Jun Qi.
However, despite his doubts, it didn't dampen his happiness.
He was happy when Jojo called his name.
Jun Qi didn't know what the name meant, only that it was the most unique language when the other person called him, just like Qiao Qiao.
Junqi remained in this state until the end of autumn this year. By then, the weather had improved significantly compared to the previous months, the tropical storms over the sea were gradually dissipating, and the sky had returned to its usual clarity.
At this time of year, the sea is at its calmest, undisturbed by humans. The sea breeze carries a slight chill, and all that is around is the sound of the waves crashing.
Xu Qiaoqiao popped her head out of the sea. She looked at the deep blue ocean. The sky was getting dark. Not far away, several seabirds were flying slowly, making some clear calls.
Indeed, nature is truly beautiful!
Xu Qiaoqiao admired the beautiful scenery in her heart. Large, overlapping clouds, gray and hazy, seemed to be edged with golden ribbons, emitting a faint light. The fog gradually thickened.
At that moment, she heard a very faint splash of water behind her. Xu Qiaoqiao didn't need to turn her head to know who it was.
Jun Qi swam a few steps forward, then turned his body slightly to the side, revealing a small section of his soft belly. His sickle-shaped pectoral fin was raised high, and the whole fish stuck to Xu Qiaoqiao's side, slowly placing the pectoral fin on her body.
Jun Qi did this very carefully, making it look like he was holding Qiao Qiao in his arms. This made him squint his eyes with pleasure, and his tail happily splashed some water.
Qiaoqiao.
He silently repeated the name in his heart, his heart pounding. A feeling of liking slowly spread throughout his body. He leaned in and touched Xu Qiaoqiao's lips gently. Her tail wagged happily.
I like you so much, Qiaoqiao.
