"Oh, look, he's shy." Da Xue said with a smile after feeling her child's movement.
Xu Qiaoqiao smiled and agreed.
The interaction with this blue whale mother was the most normal among all the whales Xu Qiaoqiao had encountered so far, and the other whale was so gentle, its blue eyes gazing tenderly at Xu Qiaoqiao.
She realized that the other blue whale was also not yet an adult; it was still a child.
And Jun Qi.
Although Junqi's form still looks a bit strange to the outside fish, Daxue doesn't think so. The ocean is vast, and one cannot explore it all in a lifetime. It nurtures many creatures and is the home of many animals.
Although she had never seen a fish like Jun Qi before, she wasn't surprised; she was just a little curious about Xu Qiaoqiao's situation.
After all, blue whales rarely seek out outsiders as mates, and even if they do, it's usually a one-time affair; they don't stay to live with each other.
They talked for a while after that, and had a pleasant conversation.
After exchanging farewells, they parted ways.
The ocean is so vast, and who knows when we'll meet again? Encountering these beautiful whales made Xu Qiaoqiao happy for a long time.
Especially that baby blue whale, it was so cute!
After hearing Xu Qiaoqiao's inner thoughts, Jun Qi grabbed Xu Qiaoqiao's pectoral fins and said without much thought, "It's okay, Qiaoqiao, you'll have them too in the future."
Xu Qiaoqiao: ???
Me, I have a baby? With whom?
She remembered that blue whales weren't a species that reproduced asexually.
As soon as Xu Qiaoqiao voiced these thoughts, Jun Qi picked up where she left off and continued, "Of course, it's with me."
Xu Qiaoqiao: ...
She looked towards Jun Qi and saw that his face showed no emotion, but rather a calm demeanor, as if this were the truth.
It's true, but it's also... not true.
Xu Qiaoqiao blinked. Her emotions were complicated because of Junjun's words, which were making it hard for her to process what they were saying.
Jun Qi didn't hear Xu Qiaoqiao's reply, so he continued, "I like you, Qiaoqiao. If you like that kind of baby, I can try my best. I remember that little girl named Xiangsi said that people in love will eventually have a baby together."
“We’re… in love now, aren’t we?” Jun Qi suddenly stopped. He leaned over and hugged Xu Qiaoqiao. They looked into each other’s eyes, and Xu Qiaoqiao saw the seriousness in Jun Qi’s eyes.
He didn't use a question; he was stating a fact.
Xu Qiaoqiao suddenly felt a surge of joy and said with a smile, "Yes, yes, we are in love."
Upon hearing Xu Qiaoqiao's answer, Jun Qi smiled and gently stroked Xu Qiaoqiao's eyes, affirming, "Then we will eventually have a baby together."
Well... how should I put it?
Xu Qiaoqiao got stuck. When did Xiangsi give these things to Junjun?
How indecent! Humph!
This topic was only discussed that day, and Xu Qiaoqiao didn't bring it up again afterward, nor did Jun Qi bring it up. But it left an impression on Xu Qiaoqiao's mind.
A mermaid and a blue whale really can't have babies.
It's not that being in love guarantees having a baby; there are exceptions, like you and me, Junjun.
Aside from when we were pandas, neither of us will have cubs. Xu Qiaoqiao had already realized this long ago. Whether or not we can become human, reproductive isolation will always exist.
Of course, adoption is an exception.
For example, little cutie Niannian, I wonder how she's doing. If time allows, I'd like to go find Bai Fei and ask her to take the little one in.
In this way, the safety issue is resolved, there won't be any problems with the food, and since Nian Nian is so cute, Bai Fei will definitely like her.
As dusk turns to dawn, time flies by. In the blink of an eye, time has slipped by. Xu Qiaoqiao is now in her teens. She roughly estimates that she is about 14 or 15 years old based on her own size.
On their final return journey, their demeanor remained unchanged; they strolled leisurely, enjoying themselves wherever they pleased, much like a pod of beluga whales.
When I returned home, it was the tail end of autumn, and the cold wind was blowing, already giving it a wintery feel.
