Chapter 54: Let's Look at the Sea Together
Yin Xiyue ate the octopus balls in her mouth, and she pouted at Xia Yanfei with her little white teeth.
"I'm not looking at you with both hands, so you can save some trouble." Xia Yanfei held a string of octopus balls in each hand, and one of them was missing from the top of the string.
He also took a bite of one, and the sweetness of the bonito flower and the richness of the sauce were just right, and although the taste of the balls was different from the fish balls just now, they were both delicious.
"That's not bad." Xia Yanfei sat back on the bench, although he had been here once before, he was still full of praise for the taste of the snacks here.
Yin Xiyue slowly chewed the pie like a kitten, and after Xia Yanfei finished eating the things in his hand, he sat quietly on the side and did not move.
The crowd around is still just as lively, and there are often children running over with snacks in their hands, followed by smiling parents.
He took out his mobile phone, pulled up the map of Jiangcheng Zoo taken in the morning, and studied it.
"Where are we going in the afternoon?" Yin Xiyue poked her head over and looked curiously at the enlarged map.
Xia Yanfei gently pushed her little head away with one finger, and the phone screen reappeared in front of his eyes.
"Let's keep going in order, but the last place on the plan is, I think, the most worth seeing." Xia Yanfei said, "But I can't tell you yet." ”
"It's not good to sell Guanzi."
"Even if you say so, in order to keep it mysterious, I still have to sell this pass."
Xia Yanfei put away her mobile phone, stretched on the bench, and showed a wicked smile.
"But, smart and clever classmate Yin Xiyue, can't you guess the answer?"
"Can't guess." Yin Xiyue stuck out her tongue, "It's always good to follow you anyway." ”
"That's a good review." Xia Yanfei nodded with satisfaction.
……
……
Although the bird call is pleasant, it becomes a bit noisy when many birds sing at the same time.
Xia Yanfei took out his trouser pocket, a little annoyed that he forgot to bring headphones when he went out this morning, and now he can't bring them to lower some sound.
Yin Xiyue's girl is still as unaffected as ever, and she looks very energetic in the songbird hall.
The ceilings here are very high, which are supposed to be designed for the normal flight of birds, and it seems that the interior of the building has a very deep feeling.
"Do you know what kind of bird this is?" Yin Xiyue stopped and asked, pointing to a fat-looking bird.
"It's a bead-necked turtledove, it's stupid." Xia Yanfei waved his hand in front of the guy with gray feathers and a circle of black and white spots on his neck.
The bead-necked turtledove's little head swayed from side to side with Xia Yanfei's hand, and it raised one foot in confusion.
Ordinary birds are very clever, even if a person gets a little closer, they will fly away quickly, but the bead-necked turtle dove in front of him doesn't care at all.
"It's stupid, but it's cute." Yin Xiyue learned the movements of Xia Yanfei and teased the pearl-necked turtledove, and it even showed her how the bird stretched its waist.
"The pearl-necked turtledove is not afraid of people, and likes to incubate eggs in the corners of the windows of high-rise buildings, but its nest is always quite rudimentary." Xia Yanfei popularized science.
"If you feed it while it's hatching, this guy will get stuck."
"Why? Won't it eat it directly? ”
"It's very serious when it hatches the eggs, and it doesn't eat." Xia Yanfei smiled, "But it's very stupid, and it will subconsciously put food in its mouth." ”
"In this way, its little head melon can't react, eat it or not, it has to think about it for a long time."
"I think you're a lot like it." Yin Xiyue touched the glass with her finger, and the pearl-necked turtledove also touched the inside of the glass with her mouth.
"I clean up my house every day." Xia Yanfei stood up straight.
"No, you're just as stupid, you can't turn your brains." Yin Xiyue made a very regretful look and sighed softly.
“……”
"Let's go, the sign says there's a peacock in the next place."
Yin Xiyue smiled, left the booth of the bead-necked turtledove, and ran to the front.
She walked for a while, her pace slowing slowly, and when she looked up, she seemed to be thinking about something.
Xia Yanfei followed, and the girl who heard the movement turned around and smiled at him, and returned to his side with her hands behind her back.
"Do you think we can see the peacock open screen today?"
"It's better to ask Peacock about this question."
"Hmm......" Yin Xiyue's voice fell.
Turning the corner in front of them, a huge field suddenly appeared in front of the two of them.
In the wide field in the shape of a half-crescent, the big birds raised their proud heads and walked leisurely in a hurry.
Even if the feathers are closed, just from the outer layer, you can imagine how gorgeous they will be when they are unfolded.
But it's a pity that although there are several male peacocks here, none of them have the screen turned on, but put on a very cold look.
The popularity of peacocks is very high, there are already many tourists here, and it is a rare opportunity to visit, and everyone wants to see the appearance of the peacock opening screen, so many people gather here.
Despite the anticipation, the peacock seems unmoved.
Some tourists try to get their attention and do a lot of antics with a lot of ancs.
But it was still in vain.
Xia Yanfei and Yin Xiyue shuttled between the crowd, and it took a lot of effort to get to the front.
Seeing that there was no peacock opening the screen, Yin Xiyue held the guardrail and felt a little regretful.
"No way, maybe the peacocks are tired today." Xia Yanfei rubbed her head and comforted.
"Okay......"
……
Surprisingly, the peacocks seemed to sense something, and they stood up straight when they were looking around.
The noisy crowd also slowly quieted down, everyone closed their mouths in unison, and the tourists who wanted to attract the attention of the peacock also stopped their movements.
The most beautiful peacock adjusted its steps and headed in the direction of Yin Xiyue.
This is a real white peacock, with a snow-white body, no variegated feathers and tail, gorgeous and dazzling, but fresh and refined, and solemn and serious movements.
It lowered its head, and for a moment, the breath-holding feather suddenly unfolded in front of it.
The peacock opening the screen is an unavoidable thing, and the white peacock is rare, and it is both lucky and romantic to see it open the screen.
I heard that it is very lucky to see the white peacock open the screen.
Behind the white peacock, the other peacocks also unfurled their brilliant and precious feathers, which dazzled people for a while.
They were all pointing in one direction, and Yin Xiyue covered her mouth in surprise, as if she hadn't accepted the scene in front of her yet.
Tourists also held their breath and watched the scene in front of them, and the venue became unusually quiet.
"Being able to see the white peacock open means that you are the luckiest person."
The voice pulled Yin Xiyue back to reality, and she looked at Xia Yanfei, who was smiling softly.
Yin Xiyue also smiled, and then grabbed the corner of Xia Yanfei's clothes a little coquettishly.
Xia Yanfei raised his eyebrows and waved at the peacocks.
"Thank you." He thanked silently.
……
……
In the afternoon, the two also saw a lot of venues, and the time was almost five o'clock.
There were not as many tourists on the road as before, Xia Yanfei and Yin Xiyue walked on the road, walking towards the last destination that Xia Yanfei had mentioned.
Xia Yanfei was holding a popsicle in his mouth, and Yin Xiyue beside him was also holding a milk-flavored popsicle.
This stadium was so far away from the rest of the stadium that it took them more time to get to it.
The building is dark blue as a whole, and just looking at it makes you feel a little cool.
"It's my favorite place." Xia Yanfei proudly pointed to the wooden sign in front of the building, on which the "Aquarium" was still clearly visible.
"Come on, let's go in and see, we won't let you down."
Yin Xiyue looked into his eyes, as proud as a child showing his favorite toy to his friends.
When I walked to the door of this building, I felt a chill, unlike the coolness of the air conditioners in other buildings, and the air here was moist with water.
After walking in for a while, Yin Xiyue switched from the bright sky and adapted to the somewhat dark environment inside.
When Xia Yanfei led her through the corridor in front of the door, entered the hall, and saw the scene in front of her, Yin Xiyue's eyes widened.
The hall was tall, even higher than the ceiling of the Songbird Hall, and there were no lights in the huge circular field, and the faint lighting only came from the deep blue of the circle.
The special transparent acrylic sheet forms an indistinguishable line, and behind this transparent wall, creatures from the ocean are swaying gracefully, slowly shuttling through the water.
The only light here came from small lamps in the water, and the whole hall was very quiet, and the people were silent for fear of disturbing them.
Xia Yanfei stood in front of the wall, looking up at him motionless.
Yin Xiyue walked over softly and stood beside him, and Xia Yanfei smiled at her.
Neither of them spoke, just stood there and quietly looked at the deep blue.
Yin Xiyue likes this quiet atmosphere, maybe human beings will enter this state when facing the sea.
Water calms people down, and when she usually takes a bath, Yin Xiyue always buries herself in the water and listens to the sounds around her, perhaps the sound of insects, rain and wind.
Life in the water always seems to be calm, whale sharks, lemon sharks and hammer sharks are the largest, patrolling like big brothers, and all kinds of small fish swim in groups at the bottom, suddenly gathering, suddenly scattering, a few fat jellyfish floating in the water, occasionally wiggling tentacles, many, many creatures she can't name, but without exception, they are all beautiful, making people sigh at the greatness of life.
She was fascinated by the silence of this deep blue, and for the first time she felt so close to the ocean through this barely visible acrylic board.
She stretched out her hand and touched it, and there was a cold touch on her fingers, and the temperature of the water on that side was very different from her body temperature.
Yin Xiyue retracted her hand, the world that she could see but could not touch, she remembered her bubbles.
In that world, you can do whatever you want, no one can see you, no one can touch you.
It's similar, but it's not the same.
Yin Xiyue looked back at Xia Yanfei, who smiled and waved at her.
Someone accompanied, it turned out to be such a feeling.
You can go wherever you want, knowing that someone will follow you and you can see him every time you look back.
When he sees something he likes, he can share it with him immediately, and he will blink and give complaints or popular science.
Yin Xiyue found that she had said a lot of things today, and in front of Xia Yanfei, she always wanted to tease him, but she would feel shy and annoyed afterwards.
But she still couldn't help it, Xia Yanfei is not a calm and calm character on weekdays, he is actually a qualified teenager, gentle and funny, like basketball and popsicles.
……
……
In the long underwater corridor, two people walk side by side, with some bizarre water overhead, which is the result of the splash and the lights.
"Look, it's a very young seahorse." Xia Yanfei pointed to a small seahorse in front of him and said.
"I see it."
"Have you been here before?" Yin Xiyue looked at Xia Yanfei who was distracted and asked.
"I've been here, this is the place I remember the most, I didn't do well in the final exam at that time, so I ran here and sat all afternoon."
"There will be times when you don't do well in the exam?"
"It's normal for people to be criticized by the Chinese teacher at that time."
Xia Yanfei smiled, he was not as powerful as Yin Xiyue, this girl was the first from the beginning and never missed.
She doesn't have a problem with any exam, and he has made mistakes in the past, causing the scores he can get to slip away.
"Don't talk about that, in fact, I've always wanted to find a vacation to go to the beach." Xia Yanfei continued to walk forward.
For academic reasons and short vacations, the idea was actually put on hold.
Now it seems that it may be feasible to put it in the summer vacation after the college entrance examination, and then you can take the high-speed train, and maybe you can buy a student ticket.
Although there is not much time left before the college entrance examination, when I think of the college entrance examination, I always feel very far away, like a terminal that can never be reached.
"I want to go too, can you take me with you?"
Yin Xiyue's voice made Xia Yanfei stop, and he turned back in surprise, the girl was looking at him.
The eyebrows and eyes are gentle, but I feel a little embarrassed because of the rash request.
Xia Yanfei nodded.
"Then after the college entrance examination, let's go and see the sea."
……
……
Back at the arch of the Jiangcheng Zoo, it was getting late, and the tourists had come to the gate, ready to leave.
Yin Xiyue followed Xia Yanfei's side, and the two of them slowly walked towards the exit in the line.
After walking for a day, when she left, Yin Xiyue felt tired at this time.
"I'm so tired......"
"It turns out that you will be tired too, I see that you are very energetic all day today."
"I'm not superhuman, of course I'm tired......"
