Chapter 36:

By the time it was noon in City Z, the two packed up and got out of the car and took a taxi to the Aquarium. The aquarium is located on the coastline of Z City, next to the beach bathing beach and the reef park.
The sea in City Z is more beautiful than that in City N, glowing with emerald green.
However, it is a pity that due to the heavy snowfall, the line of sight is very restricted, and the magnificent view of the sea is blocked by more than half.
Zhang Man booked the afternoon coupon online, but electronic QR code tickets were not popular this year, so he had to queue to the window to pick up the tickets. What makes Zhang Man a little surprised is that there are still many tourists in such a big snowstorm. There were a lot of people at the window, and there was a long line. The two waited for nearly half an hour to collect tickets and enter.
The aquarium is very large, divided into several venues, all set underground. The two went to the most prestigious main hall, the Underwater World.
When entering the venue, the surrounding air began to become humid. In order to simulate the living environment of deep-sea fish as much as possible, the lights were also dimmed. The tourists walked in waves, looking at the scenery in front of them in awe.
At the sight is a huge glass wall of several floors, and behind it is another world built of coral, reef and seaweed. Countless marine creatures roam freely in it, and some strange fishes, Zhang Man has never seen before. Rays have a flat body and wide pectoral fins, like a fan with a tail; they are less migratory than walking through the reef in groups; occasionally one or two sharks full of jagged teeth, with vicious eyes patrolling territory.
Zhang Man was also dizzy, watching the fish while watching the prompt board.
She pulled the young man's hand and pointed to a reef: "Li Wei, you see that the school of fish is so cute. A large group of fish swims over, and every one of them has a dull look."
The boy's eyes were slightly bent, and he agreed with her seriously: "Well, cute."
He coughed again, and squeezed the palm of her hand: "Call boyfriend."
He wants to hear her call him that.
Zhang Man was stunned for a moment, "Puff" laughed out: "Okay, dear, boyfriend."
The boy held her hand tightly, and the corners of his mouth raised: "Yeah."
The two of them continued to walk in, and it was the most famous one-hundred-meter undersea tunnel in the underwater world. One side of the tunnel was equipped with an automatic walking ladder. The speed was suitable, allowing people to calm down and watch the huge and dreamy blue ocean. It is an arched glass roof. From time to time, many fish swim above the head, as if they are really on the bottom of the sea.
After coming out of the undersea tunnel, you will arrive at the connected jellyfish hall. For the little girl, this is the most dreamy and beautiful place. Countless transparent jellyfish come and go freely in the water like layers of soft tulle. The original colorless body is painted with a light pink light. The soft pink and the soft and beautiful shape of the jellyfish make it feel like being in a dream.
Many couples took photos here, and some even took kissing photos with jellyfish as the background.
Zhang Man seemed to have turned pink in her heart. She felt that she had never been so relaxed since she was reborn.
In fact, the nerves had always been tense before, not only about Li Wei, but also about Zhang Huifang, but now one and two things seem to be resolved. Zhang Huifang got rid of Zheng Zhi, and she was also with Li Wei.
Everything is going in a good direction, isn't it, his illness will definitely get better and better in the future. Everything is still too late, she will definitely be able to accompany him to the end, and when he is grey-haired, she can go out and travel together.
Zhang Man suddenly felt a bit sore at this moment.
She turned around and hugged the boy's waist lightly, her voice soft: "Boyfriend, I'm so happy."
The young man reached out and hugged her back: "...Well, me too."
There was a polar bear feeding program at four o'clock in the afternoon. The two arrived there on time, but they were already crowded. The entire glass wall was surrounded by water, and Zhang Man, who was less than six meters tall, could not see the shadow of the polar bear on his toes. She was going to give up, but in the next second she was picked up from her waist, and her feet were lifted off the ground, much higher than the crowd in front of her.
She felt warm in her heart, turned her head and touched the soft top of the boy's hair, looking at the polar bear.
There was only one polar bear over the glass, lying there alone, without any fluctuations in the onlookers around him. It has a yellowish coat and looks very old.
The breeder threw in a large amount of fish and meat from the upper window, but the polar bear was still lying on his stomach, without much reaction. After all the food was thrown out, it slowly opened its eyes, moved its paws, and only picked up the surrounding food.
The body did not change position during the entire eating process.
Someone next to him said: "There were two polar bears here when I came to my first year ago. I heard that one of them died of old age."
Zhang Man looked at him, his chest suddenly sore. It stays alone in this closed pavilion, and is numbly watched every day. It has no friends, no relatives, and the passage of time or life seems meaningless to it.
What is the meaning of life? At least not just alive.
At this time, a crisp little girl's voice rang.
"Mom, I can't see, you hug me!"
The adult's voice was a little helpless.
"You will go to elementary school next year. You are an older child. Why do you still want to hug?"
"The elder sister is still an eldest child, and the eldest brother is still holding her, I want to hold her too!"
Hearing this, Zhang Man's empathy just because of the lonely polar bear burst. Her cheeks and ears instantly turned red. She pulled the boy's hair, a little anxiously: "Let me down..."
The young man seemed to chuckled lightly, supporting her with one hand, slowly letting her down, holding her hand and walking out.
Walking out of the polar bear exhibition area, he looked at her and blinked: "Manman, are you shy?"
Zhang Man coughed. In this regard, her face is really thin, so I can't admit it: "No, I'm afraid you are tired."
He was always tolerant of her pretense, and squeezed the palm of her hand: "...Hmm."
Coming out of the polar bear area is the most anticipated dolphin and sea lion show, which is only held once throughout the afternoon.
The venue is like a gymnasium, surrounded by a circle of stepped seats, with a huge blue pool in the middle. At this time the performance had not yet started, and the two entered the venue with tickets and sat down in the second row on the left.
Soon, the seats around were filled with people.
Most of the people came with their children. The children were curious and had many questions, so it was so lively.
The hostess dressed in cool clothes has a very standard Mandarin, introducing the little dolphins and little sea lions that will appear soon. When the time came, several trainers entered the arena with dolphins and sea lions.
The little dolphin was named "Bei Bei", with a high head raised, and a white body twisted proudly to follow the animal trainer and gliding out of the arena. The beautiful shape was like a princess on the bottom of the sea.
The sea lion is much inferior. The fleshy head is drooped, and the body is not as good as a dolphin. It has some gray-brown folds, and its wrinkled face is covered with beards, which looks more like an old man. But the chubby appearance also seemed naive.
The first program was the little dolphin picking up darts. The trainer let Beibei swim for a while, blew three whistles, took out a red frisbee, and flew to the end of the pool. When Beibe heard the signal, she swam quickly in the water, took a beautiful leap at the end of the pool, and caught the Frisbee with her mouth open.
There was grand applause in the hall, and Zhang Man opened his mouth slightly and exclaimed. I didn't expect the dolphins to swim so fast in the water!
Next, one of the dolphins also performed simple addition and subtraction, with a shocking IQ.
The little sea lions also completed the corresponding performance tasks, and the atmosphere of the audience reached a climax.
After watching the performance, it was time to interact with the little dolphins.
Beibei and Qiqi "stand" on the sidelines one by one, raising their heads arrogantly, and the sharp mouths that naturally bend to the sides look like they are smiling.
He even rushed to the audience to beckon "hands" from time to time.
In that way, let's not mention how cute, even Zhang Man couldn't help being overwhelmed by the girl's heart, holding Li Wei's arm and laughing nonstop.
The host walked over and touched Beibei’s head and said with a smile: "It seems that among the friends here today, there are many beautiful women. We have not been as excited as Beibei and Qiqi for a long time. Beibei is good at everything. A shortcoming, lust, can't walk when looking at beautiful women."
Beibei also nodded in cooperation. She was clever, really like a seven or eight-year-old human child.
Everyone in the hall burst into laughter.
The host said a few more jokes to make the atmosphere very hot, and began the topic: "The audience on the field, who is willing to come and have a close contact with our little dolphin Beibei? Who am I to see? The most enthusiastic."
Everyone raised their hands enthusiastically, and a few children could not wait to rush to the stage directly, and they were dragged and stopped by the parents.
Zhang Man also raised his hand, fearing not enough, so he raised Li Wei's hand. The young man raised his hand helplessly, but his eyes kept looking at her, obviously not as attractive as interacting with dolphins.
The host looked around, looked in the direction of Zhang Man, and smiled: "This little beauty also raised the hand of the handsome guy next to him. It seems that I really want to contact us, Babe. Just you, second row. The girl in a white dress!"
Zhang Man was surprised when she realized that she was talking about herself.
How many hundreds of people can choose her? She happily glanced at the boy next to her.
"Go." He raised his hand to touch her head, took the coat on her knee, smiled and nodded.
Zhang Man walked across the auditorium and onto the stage.
"Oh, I haven't looked at it carefully just now. She is such a beautiful girl. Isn't it beautiful?"
The host is very active.
"—Beautiful!" Everyone in the court also gave face, some young people even whistled at Zhang Man.
"Tsk tsk, let's not hide it from everyone, the original intimate contact was to hug our Beibei, but, for such a beautiful girl, she is not willing to hug Beibei, right?"
The host smiled and shook his head, looking at the little dolphin.
Unexpectedly, Beibei really nodded, twisted and "walked" over here, raised his head and rubbed Zhang Man's arm, and the naive look once again caused the audience to laugh and cheer.
Zhang Man was leaning on it, feeling soft in his heart, and touched the smooth head of the little dolphin under the guidance of the trainer.
"Then everyone said, if you don't hug, shouldn't you kiss one?" The host said astonishing again, but the audience was almost boiling.
