The Lonely Whale

Zhan Xi’s requirements for a partner have always been simple. He doesn’t need to be tall or handsome, just healthy with a stable job. Most importantly, he must be interesting enough to make her laugh with his wit and conversation – after all, she considers herself a boring person.

But after searching and searching, she found someone who didn’t meet any of her requirements.

This person is tall and handsome, makes a living crafting small accessories, and always just smiles at her without speaking.

Zhan Xi: I’ll put up with it.

Luo Jingyu: ?

Zhan Xi: I accept it!

Luo Jingyu: ?

Zhan Xi: Fine, fine, I’m in love.

Luo Jingyu: ^_^

Luo Jingyu once told Zhan Xi a story.

Long ago, marine biologists tracked the sound of a whale in the ocean. It was healthy, but never had any companions, mates, or children, which made the scientists very curious.

They discovered that while normal whales vocalize at 12-25 hertz, this whale sang at 52 hertz. This meant that other whales couldn’t hear its signals.

Driven by instinct, this lonely whale migrated between the Arctic and the equator every year, singing its lonely song in the vast ocean, never meeting another of its kind.

Zhan Xi rested her chin in her hand as she watched Luo Jingyu, watching his beautiful hands form graceful symbols in front of him.

She suddenly realized that he was like that lonely whale, always searching for someone who could understand his song.
