When returning the hovercraft, Jiang Ran looked at Ren Xiayang in front of him and fell silent.
"Hi, hi..." Ren Xiayang scratched his head.
"Are you the next person to rent a car?" Jiang Ran asked, "Didn't you say yesterday that you wouldn't rent one?"
"Ah... well, it's like this... Actually, I didn't originally rent the place during this time period. My friend had an emergency, so he temporarily sublet it to me."
"Oh, I see."
Jiang Ran actually believed it so easily?
This is really rare.
Ren Xiayang had just breathed a sigh of relief when he heard Jiang Ran's voice coming faintly the next second.
"Is your friend's surname Ren and name Xia Yang?"
Ren Xiayang: “…” It’s true!
Fortunately, Jiang Ran didn't argue with him too much about this matter. He casually said that he would treat her to a meal after returning to the Capital Star, and then left in a hurry.
Ren Xiayang was a little puzzled. He pulled Fu Bo's sleeve and asked, "Do you know where she's going? Why does she look so anxious?"
"Who would know that?" Fu Bo put his hands behind his head and curled his lips as he gestured to him, "Your hovercraft rental time has already expired by five minutes."
Ren Xiayang: “!”
He almost jumped up on the spot and rushed into the car.
Fu Bo, who was standing behind him, looked at his back and recalled the experience of riding in a hover car to enjoy the beautiful scenery above the earth. He unconsciously smacked his lips.
If today is included, this season's competition will end in three days. Although he still owes Jiang Ran 100 points in rent, there is no rush.
So why did Jiang Ran leave in such a hurry?
Fu Bo couldn't help but feel a little curious, and followed the direction she left.
What Fu Bo never expected was that this follow would lead him to the sea.
He looked at Jiang Ran, who had changed into a diving suit, from afar and found that she was swimming towards the humpback whale.
Fu Bo was not good at swimming and did not want to go into the water. In order to observe more conveniently, he could only walk to the deck of the program crew's large ship.
When he found the right spot, Jiang Ran had already swam to the humpback whale.
The humpback whale is very large. From a distance, it looks like five or six Jiang Rans are long. At a rough glance, it looks at least ten meters long.
It exposed its white belly. When it saw Jiang Ran swimming towards it, it didn't even glance at him. It continued to lie on its back freely in the water, turning over from time to time.
Jiang Ran swam thousands of miles there, of course not for fun, and Fu Bo knew it too.
Sure enough, not long after, Jiang Ran was seen raising the familiar ball.
"Hey, is that Jiang Ran?" someone asked.
"Yes, it's her." Fu Bo replied casually.
"Why did Jiang Ran go there? And what's that big white thing next to her?"
"It's a kind of whale, a humpback whale," Fu Bo said. "Jiang Ran is photographing it."
"Humpback whale? What a strange name. Do they like to sit on the heads of their own kind?"
Fu Bo suddenly felt that he was at a loss for words.
He finally understood how Jiang Ran felt when he asked the same question.
"That's not what I meant..."
Fu Bo told the others around him everything Jiang Ran had told him.
"The word humpback originally means 'lute', and people in the past gave it this name because the shape of the humpback whale's back is very similar to a lute."
"Oh, I see." The people around responded.
"Fu Bo, you don't usually tell, but you know a lot. You even know this kind of allusion?"
Fu Bo was also embarrassed. He scratched his head and said, "Jiang Ran told me all this. When I heard this name before... my reaction was similar to yours."
"Oh, that's for sure!"
"There's no ocean on the capital planet, let alone big whales!"
“It’s normal not to know!”
“…”
Fu Bo had long been accustomed to Jiang Ran's omniscience, but when he heard what everyone said, his heart suddenly jumped.
Jiang Ran is also a native of the capital star. Her life experiences of the past twenty years are all recorded on the star network. Obviously, she has no connection with the earth. Why does she know so much?
While I was thinking about it, everyone around me started discussing again.
"Although it's a bit novel, I can stand here and watch it, but I can't swim so far to see it."
"Yes, yes. I think it's nice to just stand here and watch."
“…”
Although Fu Bo did not respond, he couldn't help but agree with everyone in his heart.
Such a big whale can be seen clearly from a distance, so why do you have to get up close to see and take pictures?
Today's tracking balls have been updated and evolved to so many versions, and the resolution is very high. Even if you stand on this deck to shoot, you can capture all the necessary shapes and close-ups, right?
As Fu Bo thought about it, he looked down at the choppy sea.
No matter what Jiang Ran thought, it was impossible for him to swim so far just to see a big whale.
After all, it's just a humpback whale...
Isn’t his snow elf, the little reindeer, cute?
Of course not.
"Wow--"
"Look! Look!"
"That humpback whale flipped over!"
“…”
Hearing the exclamations coming from the side, Fu Bo subconsciously looked into the distance.
The humpback whale seemed to have finally noticed Jiang Ran's presence. Despite its large size, it had a surprisingly good temper. Not only was it not angry, it even started playing with Jiang Ran in a friendly manner.
A huge humpback whale surrounded Jiang Ran and swam slowly in circles.
Sometimes it lay on its back, revealing its white belly, and sometimes it turned over, revealing its long, broad, dark blue back.
Jiang Ran also seemed very happy. Sometimes he approached and touched its pectoral fins, and sometimes he deliberately swam away, as if he was playing hide-and-seek with it.
Fu Bo grabbed the ball, switched to shooting mode, and used it as a telescope to observe the scene from afar.
Under the clear lens of the tracking ball, the deep and shallow white markings on the back of the humpback whale are also clearly visible.
Seeing this, the contestants next to him also came over to look at his screen.
"Wow, looking at it with the tracking ball, it looks like it's suddenly gotten a lot bigger!"
"Maybe it's because Jiang Ran was photographed very clearly? If Jiang Ran was included in the shot, only a small part of the whale's tail would be captured!"
“…”
While everyone was arguing, Fu Bo had an idea.
It seems like... it's a little cute?
Before he could think about it carefully, the humpback whale suddenly swam much faster and moved away with Jiang Ran on its back.
But strangely, Jiang Ran did not immediately chase in the direction the whale was going.
"Jiang Ran doesn't want to film it anymore?"
"Maybe. We've been filming and playing for so long, it's time for that."
"Besides, a humpback whale is so big, I guess it wouldn't be interested in playing with tiny humans all the time, right?"
“…”
While everyone was making various guesses, the humpback whale that was half submerged in the sea suddenly jumped up, and then the whole whale emerged from the water.
As everyone stared in stunned silence, it drew a perfect curve above the sea surface with an extremely graceful posture, and then leaped back into the water with a thud.
"Bang--"
The huge body weighing dozens of tons hit the water, and the splashing sound could be heard several kilometers away, not to mention the large ship less than a kilometer away.
Everyone on the deck was speechless for a moment, and it took a long time before someone broke the long silence.
“So beautiful!”
Someone immediately said, "It looks very heavy."
However, after what had just happened, the humpback whale had a new little fanboy, who immediately retorted, "It's such a big whale, over ten meters long! Of course it's heavy! Do you think they're all just chubby like you?"
This topic immediately caused countless disputes.
Everyone started a heated debate about whose meat was more hollow and whether it could be more solid than that of a humpback whale.
However, just as the argument was in full swing, someone suddenly noticed something was wrong.
"Hey...where's Fu Boren?"
"I don't know. I was here just now."
"Hey, hey, hey, there it is! Look!"
Everyone looked over and saw that Fu Bo had already changed into a diving suit and was walking towards the sea.
Someone shouted, "Fu Bo! Where are you going?"
Without even turning his head, Fu Bo waved and said, "Let's go see the humpback whales!"
After the humpback whale performed its leaping performance on the sea for Jiang Ran, it immediately swam back towards her.
Jiang Ran was also very happy. He swam forward and gently stroked its back: "The giant whale is really amazing. The water splashed on my face from such a distance just now!"
The humpback whale didn't make any sound, but continued to swim forward, gently rubbing against Jiang Ran's arm.
Jiang Ran was just about to chase it and swim a little further when he suddenly heard a voice of disgust from behind.
"Giant Whale? What kind of name is that? Your naming skills are as poor as ever."
When Jiang Ran heard this, he stopped chasing after him.
She turned around and looked at Fu Bo: "What name do you think is better?"
Fu Bo thought without hesitation: "Xiao Lan is a good choice! It happens to be from the same family as Xiao Bai's name. Others will know that they are from the same family when they hear it."
Jiang Ran: “…”
Jiang Ran was speechless after hearing this.
I don't know whether I should complain first about how whales and reindeer became one family, or whether I should complain first about the name sounding like a puppy.
Of course, puppies are not unlovable, they are just not the same species as humpback whales and reindeer calves.
After thinking it over again, I decided to hold back all the complaints in my heart.
After a long while, Jiang Ran asked, "Why are you here?"
Of course, Fu Bo was embarrassed to say that he had previously disdained the humpback whale, but halfway through his disdain, he found it so attractive that he couldn't help but want to see it up close with his own eyes.
He tilted his chin up and said pretentiously, "I saw you haven't gone home for so long, I was a little worried about you. Since I have nothing to do, I came to see you."
Jiang Ran: "Oh, you don't have to worry about me."
When Fu Bo heard this, he was about to show his friendship to his teammates again, but he heard Jiang Ran continue to say: "You should still worry about how to pay back the hundred points you owe me!"
Fu Bo: “…”
What is team camaraderie? It doesn't exist!
The author has something to say:
Today’s Fu Bo: Although humpback whales are cute, they are still a little bit inferior to deer.
Tomorrow’s Fu Bo: It smells so good!
