Su Liang was the first one to see three figures on the reef in the distance and his eyes brightened as he pointed towards them.
Su Jing looked at the direction Su Liang was pointing at, his overall physical fitness is very strong and his vision is stronger than ordinary people, not only he saw three people on the reef but he also managed to barely saw their faces and verified that one of them is Shi Yun and he could not help but feel relieved.
"Where, where?" Shi Guanglu couldn"t see clearly. After all, the wind was very strong and the sea was surrounded by fog.
"Dad, there." Shi Qing finally saw them and she excitedly pointed towards the three people on the reef.
When the ship reached a distance of 100 meters from the reef, they were finally able to see clearly and faintly heard their shouts from the wind and waves, Shi Guanglu and Shi Qing wept with joy, and the other two middle-aged men wept with tears at the corners of their eyes.
"This group of stinky boys, They actually came so far from the sh.o.r.e, We must teach them a good lesson later." Shi Guanglu scolded.
"Indeed, these guys are too ignorant of the heavens and the earth." The other two middle-aged men scolded.
However, when their boat got closer, their faces changed again. In front of them was actually a small desert island. Shi Yun was standing on the rocks along the coast of the desert island. At a glance, it could be seen that the area was covered with rocks and the big boat would not be able to get in at all. It would be dangerous even in small boats. Moreover, the waves are so big that the rocks make deafening sounds and the boat may turn over without touching them.
However, they do not have time to think slowly, because Shi Yun and others are standing on the reef, just ahead in the sea and the waves can hit them, the tide is rising and then they will soon be engulfed in the sea.
"Don"t come here, there are reefs and the boat will be turned." Shi Yun shouted.
"You knew that there was a reef and you still drove in?" Shi Guanglu scolded, thinking that they should have sailed in and overturned by the rocks.
"There was nothing we could do. The engine was broken and the waves are too big. We got hit by the waves." Shi Yun and two other young men laughed bitterly. They were scared and crying. For the first time, they realized the horror of the sea.
"I"m going to save you." Shi Guanglu wants to go down and sail a boat.
"Dad, don"t come here, just throw a rope." Shi Yun said.
"It"s too dangerous." Shi Guanglu"s eyebrows are wrinkled. Although Shi Yun and others are good at swimming, the waves are too big and there are too many rocks. If they accidentally b.u.mp into the rocks, they will be seriously injured if they didn"t die first. In case the rope became unstable, it will be even more dangerous.
"Why are you so worried? A"Jing hasn"t spoken yet." Su Liang suddenly smiled. People were stunned and did not understand what Su Liang meant. Turning their heads, they saw that Su Jing had taken off his coat and was jumping into the sea.
"Be careful." Shi Qing exclaimed.
"Plop." Su Jing jumped into the sea and drowned in the waves, causing Shi Qing and Shi Guanglu to be nervous, but then with a loud crash, Su Jing emerged, riding killer whale below.
"Am I seeing things or is that a killer whale?" Shi Yun was shocked. Shi Guanglu and Shi Qing are both surprised and delighted. It seems that this killer whale is really well trained. It can not only find people but also be manned. How did Su Jing get such an obedient killer whale?
"Let"s go, we have to save them." Su Jing directed the killer whale and went to Shi Yun and others. Although there are many reefs, the killer whale can avoid them by using ultrasound. Although the waves are very large, it is nothing for a killer whale. In a short while, Su Jing rode the killer whale to where the Shi Yun trio was stranded.
"What are you stunned about? Come up quickly." In general, as Su Jing said, the killer whale doesn"t want people to sit upon him and Su Jing doesn"t want to force it, but it"s important to save people at this moment and the killer whale has human-like feelings and has not refused.
"Sit down… Sit down…" The two young men looked down at the killer whale and their faces turned pale with fear. They are bold but not to the point of riding a killer whale.
"I"ll go first." Shi Yun was actually frightened, but he didn"t want to seem weak in front of Su Jing. He had the courage to sit on it and found the killer whale was very good. He was relieved. After the initial shock, he could not help envying him and wondering where Su Jing would get such a killer whale. Although he has always confronted Su Jing before, At this moment he has some admiration in his heart. It is bold to tame a killer whale.
Su Jing took Shi Yun back to the side of the boat, sent him up, and then returned with the other two. After they got on board, they were taught a lesson by their respective fathers and their heads were swollen with few b.u.mps.
Both the young men and their father solemnly thanked Su Jing and Shi Guanglu was indefinitely grateful. Today, without Su Jing, their chances of succeeding in saving them would"ve been very low. The only one who refuses to thank him is Shi Yun.
"Don"t you know how to thank someone." Shi Qing twisted Shi Yun"s ear.
"Ah, ah, it hurts." Shi Yun"s ears are red and he was jealous. "Sister, you can"t do that. I"m your brother too. You can"t twist my ears until they become red and swollen in front of others just because of a man."
"What man." Shi Qing glanced quickly at Su Jing and blushed before becoming angry. "You… You… Shouldn"t you thank them for saving you? because we couldn"t have been able to save you without their help.
"That"s all you want me to thank him for." Shi Yun rolled his eyes but bowed solemnly to Su Jing. "Thank you." He is not the kind of ungrateful person but he used to work against Su Jing and now suddenly thanking him feels a bit awkward.
"Thank you." Shi Qing also said a thank you. Her face was still a little red.
"You are too polite, we are all neighboring villages. It is appropriate to help each other." Su Jing smiled and laughed. Su Jing laughed and said, in fact, this is true. Although different villages usually only see compet.i.tion, and may even be unhappy, if there is a danger, they will help each other. As Su Jing told Su Xiaolin this time, he asked him to borrow a ship for 3,000 yuan if someone refused, but actually, Su Xiaolin didn"t spend a single penny as everyone was willing to let them borrow their boats.
Back at the pier, people from Shi Family Village, Su Family Village, and some other villages gathered around and they all scolded Shi Yun and others, but their words were filled with joy, Shi Family Village, Su Xiaolin, and others sailed out to search for boats and came back one after another.
"Shi Qing, are you free tomorrow?" Su Jing asked near Shi Qing.
"Do you want to die." Shi Qing quickly turned her head and looked at Shi Guanglu and others not far away. No one seemed to hear them. Then she was relieved and looked back at Su Jing. "You want to die. My father is right next to you. Can"t you say that later?"
"Oh, I think he heard it." Su Jing laughed.
"You…" Shi Qing was angry and felling funny when she saw Su Jing"s face. She turned to look at Shi Guanglu again and found that her Dad had actually peeked over, but quickly removed his eyes and pretended not to see him. Shi Guanglu must have wanted to pull Shi Qing away but this time, Su Jing has contributed a lot in saving his son, so he closed his eyes on normal matters. Shi Qing thought about it, but she gave Su Jing a blank look. "You"re too proud."
"You haven"t answered my question yet," Su Jing said.
"What happened if I am free?" Shi Qing asked in reply.
"We are going to Zhongyun Oceanarium, Are you interested?" Su Jing asked. In fact, Su Jing wanted to find a companion to go with him. Secondly, Shi Qing"s eyes were still red because of this accident, although everything is fine now but this up and down mood is not good for her and she needs to relax.
"Okay, I am free." Shi Qing grinned and smiled sweetly.
"I"ll pick you up at nine o"clock tomorrow morning." Su Jing said.
"Ok, see you tomorrow." Shi Qing turned and walked towards Shi Yun and Shi Guanglu, leaving Su Jing glancing at an infinitely beautiful back.
"A"Jing, I am here, where are you?" At the entrance to the village, Shi-Qing called and looked around for Su Jing. Today, she is wearing slim jeans and an off-shoulder T-shirt. Her long hair is slightly curled and her face is painted with light makeup.
"Turn Left." Su Jing"s voice sounded on the phone. Shi Qing turned left and then saw Su Jing standing in the distance. He grinned and walked towards her.
"Get on." Su Jing smiled. Shi Qing took two steps to the side and sat on the back seat of a bicycle with a slight cushion seat. The action was natural. In high school, Shi Qing and Su Jing stayed at school, but once a week, they all went home by bicycle. Once Shi Qing"s bicycle broke down, they all went to school and went home by Su Jing"s bicycle with her in the back seat.
"Oh, this is not mine." Su Jing watched Shi Qing sitting in the back of a bicycle, waiting for him to get on the bus and ride with her. It was funny and nostalgic. If he hadn"t driven Porsche out, he wouldn"t mind riding a bicycle to find the old feeling from the high school.
"Not yours, Why didn"t you say that sooner." Shi Qing jumped out of the bicycle seat and lightly punched Su Jing on his arm, thinking that Su Jing deliberately teased her.
"I am talking about this one." Su Jing pointed to the Porsche 911 next to the bicycle.
"This is yours? Isn"t that too luxurious? Shi Qing stared. She did see the Porsche but didn"t pay any attention to it. She didn"t think Su Jing was talking about the car. Although she didn"t know the brand of the car, it should be very expensive.
"It"s nothing." Su Jing stepped forward to open the front pa.s.senger"s door and smiled proudly. "Please."
"It"s no wonder that someone said recently that you are a nouveau riche and you don"t know where to keep your money. When you need money in the future and you don"t have it because you spent it on things like this, just don"t go crying to anyone. Shi Qing turned her eyes slightly and stepped forward and sat in the co-driver"s seat.
"You look like a housewife when you talk like this." Su Jing laughed
"Hmm, Even a ghost wouldn"t want to become your housewife." Shi Qing took a sip and her cheeks turned red.
Su Jing started the car and took Shi Qing directly to Zhongyun Oceanarium. After parking the car in the parking lot, he bought a ticket for Shi Qing and Su Jing used Fan Weishen"s free of charge card. Although the ticket was only 130 yuan so there"s wasn"t really a need for a free of charge card.
Su Jing didn"t go to Xue Zhonghong first. He planned to play for a while. Although he was born in Zhongyun City, he only came here once in high school. That time, he was concerned about other things and he didn"t see many things.
Su Jing and Shi Qing first arrived at the "Seabed World" exhibition area, which simulates the real Seabed World from the South China Sea, through the Western Pacific, the Indian Ocean, the Red Sea, the Mediterranean Sea, and the Atlantic Ocean. The exhibition area has a colorful underwater visual effect. The super arc acrylic glue display window shows visitors the most representative ornamental fish in the world"s sea area.
The main exhibits were: Saddle b.u.t.terflyfish, Bluespine Unicornfish, Pebbled b.u.t.terflyfish, Blue Tang, Sea Anemone, Seahorse, Yellow Tang, Chromis Viridis, Bluestripe b.u.t.terflyfish, Prognathodes Falcifer, Lactoria Fornasini, Long-Spine Porcupinefish, Coral, Grouper, Stonefish, Pupperfish, Achilles Tang, Clownfish, Arowana, Bluestreak Cleaner Wra.s.se. Among them, Su Jing has seen some and he hasn"t even seen others on TV.
"This fish is so beautiful, It shines."
"This is a Clownfish and its animation was used as the main heroes of "Finding Nemo" Marlin and Nemo are such fishes."
"That fish"s mouth is so long and funny. Hha."
Shi Qing is mostly quiet and elegant, but there are also times when she went crazy and just enjoys herself, such as this moment. Su Jing is relatively calm, but his eyes often brighten.
"What fish is that?" Shi Qing suddenly pointed to a very flat black-spotted fish in the exhibition cylinder and asked Su Jing.
"That is Stingray, also known as devil ray." Su Jing replied as he recognized the fish.
"Devil ray? Why the horrible name?" Shi Qing saw divers feeding devil ray with oxygen cylinders on their backs in the exhibition vat, so she was nervous for them.
"Devil ray has a mild temperament most of the time, so the diver can put the food into the fish mouth by hand. But the devil ray"s fishtail has a stinger and if it feels threatened, it will defend itself with that stinger, so the show also has a certain danger," Su Jing explained.
Many other tourists also stopped to watch. Many people learned about the devil ray, so they were too nervous to breathe. When the divers successfully fed the food to the devil ray, everyone applauded.
Next, Su Jing and Shi Qing continued to visit several other exhibition areas and both of them saw it very well. Finally, They arrived at a newly-built exhibition area. As soon as they entered, They saw people who he didn"t want to see. Su Jing and Shi Qing almost turned and left, but it was too late.
"Su Jing, Shi-Qing?" Yang Tong came over quickly and looked at Su Jing and Shi Qing in surprise. The reunion he organized was just today. He called Shi Qing before, but Shi Qing said that she had something to do and she couldn"t come. It looks like she is busy with Su Jing, When he figured out the situation, he was jealous.
"Su Jing, Shi Qing, I haven"t seen you in a long time." Seven or eight cla.s.smates came over and said h.e.l.lo. Su Jing and Shi Qing also greeted them, although they were not on very good terms with them but some of them had been their cla.s.smates for years so they had to at least say h.e.l.lo.
"Have you two finally come together?" A small girl laughed.
"No, no… we are not in that kind of relationship." Su Jing and Shi Qing agreed with each other, but the way they acted in such a tacit way was more suspicious. Several of their cla.s.smates showed ambiguous eyes. There are also some doubts. Listening to Yang Tong, Su Jing is not doing well now and he didn"t even have a job, Shi Qing is willing to join him? Shi Qing is still beautiful. It"s not difficult for her to find a successful man.
"Didn"t you come to the party?" A tall, thin man with gla.s.ses and a camera said.
"We were supposed to come, but we were late, so we planned to roam by ourselves." Su Jing told a lie to avoid embarra.s.sment. Among these people, this thin-eyed man is familiar with Su Jing. His name is Wu Min. He wanted to be a photographer in high school and now works for a magazine.
"That"s why you"re wrong. You should always say something when you"re late. Now that we have met again, let"s go together. There are many things we don"t understand here." A boy laughed.
"Yeah, let"s hang out. I"ll be a tour guide." Yang Tong laughed that didn"t reach his eyes. He knew Su Jing was telling a lie, but he didn"t break it down.
"Okay." Su Jing and Shi Qing looked at each other and then agreed. If it was only Yang Tong, they can refuse directly, but there are other students and they can not refuse directly.
"Su Jing, although you live at the seaside, I"m afraid you haven"t seen this kind of fish. It"s archerfish…"
"This is what is called the saddest fish in the world - blobfish…"
Yang Tong is very patient in front of his cla.s.smates as a tour guide, pointing to some fishes and introducing them, but there is a kind of suspicion of showing off and from time to time he would mention Su Jing, Su Jing understood what Yang Tong was trying to do and he could hear the occasional giggle and remark from the group and he could also hear Yang Tong saying something to him to put him down discreetly, but he was too lazy to argue with him.
Wu Min, a tall and thin man with gla.s.ses, seems to be a little tired of Yang Tong. He did not listen to Yang Tong"s long stories. Walking behind the team, he approached Su Jing"s ear and whispered, "Are you really not in a relationship with Shi Qing?"
"What"s wrong with it?" Su Jing asked.
"I just want to say, I support you, you are a hundred times better than Yang Tong." Wu Min squeezed his eyes.
"…" Su Jing is speechless. It seems that this guy also hates Yang Tong. "Since you can"t get used to Yang Tong, why are you attending this cla.s.s reunion?"
"I was free and I wanted to take pictures of various marine life for Nature colume." Wu Min shrugged.
"So it is." Su Jing suddenly realized that this guy had come to take pictures and laughed, "You were always quite a photographer when we were in high school. What do you do now?"
"What kind of photographer am I now?" Wu Min sighed helplessly and said, "The pictures I took are seldom used by magazines. If I don"t bring tea and water for others and print doc.u.ments and acted as half secretary, I would have been fired long ago. I"m still a long way from my dream."
"What kind of picture you need?" Su Jing asked.
"In a nutsh.e.l.l, valuable ones, such as capturing beautiful or extremely rare natural scenery, photographing a creature that is rarely photographed, or an unknown aspect of an animal. Recently, On Nature, There is a column of marine life. If you can photograph marine life that many don"t understand, it will be definitely selected and even purchased with heavy money. It will be also used as a spare material in oceanarium," Wu Min explained.
"So it is like that, my home is on the beach and I go fishing occasionally. Maybe I can get some useful pictures in the future. Give me your phone number so I can contact you in the future." Su Jing said, thinking that when he is having leisure time, he can take a camera to the bottom of the sea to earn extra money. With a killer whale, he can take pictures that others can"t get.
"Okay." Wu Min did not think that fishing could catch marine life worth publishing in magazines, but he still left his phone number.
"Su Jing, you live at the beach, can you recognize this kind of snail?" Yang Tong smiled and looked at Su Jing and Shi Qing. The jealousy in his eyes was not completely concealed. He was waiting for Su Jing to make a fool of himself and then he will make himself look good in front of Shi Qing.
"Ehh?" Su Jing was stunned and a little surprise flashed across his face seeing where the Nautilus had been placed. It was Nautilus that was clinging to a reef in the exhibition jar, beside which there were twenty or thirty very small Nautilus. It seems that Nautilus was born and should have been hatched artificially. Su Jing looked at Yang Tong strangely, thinking that he didn"t know that the snail was sold to oceanarium by him. Su Jing thought for a moment and was too lazy to waste his breath to explain, "I don"t know."
"Oh, I don"t think you know that this kind of snail can"t be seen by the sea. This is Nautilus, which appeared more than 500 million years ago. It is the oldest and lowest species of extant mollusks, as well as an important material for studying biological evolution, Paleontology, and paleoclimate call them "living fossils". Yang Tong said that with a very proud look on his face.
"Oh." Most of the cla.s.smates still listened with relish and that made Yang Tong feel very proud.
"Do you how much is this Nautilus cost us?" Yang Tong also shows off this mystery.
"1000."
"5000."
"10,000."
Many students are appraising.
"You all guessed wrong, It cost us 150,000 yuan." Yang Tong laughed.
"Shhhh" everyone sucked in the cool air, a snail actually sold for 150,000, They would live an easy life if they could pick one.
Yang Tong continued to guide everyone and continued to introduce new species to them. He still asked some questions to Su Jing from time to time which makes it imperceptible to everyone that Yang Tong is somewhat targeted at Su Jing, but it"s not easy to puncture. After all, this kind of thing, if you do tell it out, you will feel embarra.s.sed and even make a lot of noise. In fact, Su Jing"s look is more and more eccentric, because the hammerhead shark and Humphead Wra.s.se provided by himself for oceanarium are also in this new exhibition area and Yang Tong asked about them to him, but he still did not explain.
"Mr. Xue." Yang Tong, who is introducing, suddenly looks aside and then goes up quickly. He politely says to a middle-aged man with a beard.
"h.e.l.lo, Little Yang." The middle-aged man responded faintly and crossed Yang Tong as he went to Su Jing and said with a smile, "Mr. Su, why don"t you call me when you come here? I"ll be your tour guide."
"Er…" Yang Tong was stunned. How could Xue Zhonghong know Su Jing and be so polite to Su Jing?
"Mr. Xue, you are too polite, how do you know that I was here?" Su Jing said and asked.
"Free of charge card is recorded. I told the guard to let me know as soon as you come." Xue Zhonghong laughed.
"It turns out like that." Su Jing was speechless for a while. It seems that the use of free of charge card is also harmful. If you use it, you will expose your whereabouts.
"Mr. Su, let me show you around. When you"re done, let"s go and see the dolphin." Xue Zhonghong said.
"We are almost done, so we can go now." Su Jing had long wanted to stay away from Yang Tong and was missing an excuse.
"Let"s go." Xue Zhonghong nodded.
"Sorry, everyone, I have to leave in advance." Su Jing said to Wu Min and others, everyone is naturally not going to hold Su Jing so they said goodbye, Yang Tong"s eyebrows were almost wrinkled in a well-worded way. What does Xue Zhonghong want with Su Jing? What does it seem to be about dolphins? But naturally, Xue Zhonghong cannot be blocked or questioned by him. Even his top supervisor, the personnel manager, dared not offend Xue Zhonghong. Xue Zhonghong is oceanarium"s best Beast Tamer and veterinarian.
"I will see you later." Su Jing took Shi Qing and left with Xue Zhonghong.
"Who is that?" All the students looked at Xue Zhonghong"s back and asked as they could see that his ident.i.ty was not simple.
"He is the most important Beast Tamer and veterinarian of our oceanarium," Yang Tong said.
"Then how does he knows Su Jing, He seems to be very polite." The pet.i.te female student asked curiously.
"How would I know?" Yang Tong also wanted to know more.
