As they spoke, the brothers followed the other students into the aquarium.
As the name suggested, there was a lake here. The lake was very big, and the surrounding scenery was pleasant. There were many aquatic creatures in the water. The aquarium was set up on a slope opposite the East Lake. A three-story building rose from the ground. The entrance was very inconspicuous. Only when one entered it did one know that there was another world inside.
When they entered the hall, the first thing they saw was all kinds of sea specimens. The children who were studying in kindergarten could not read maby words. When they looked at every specimen, there was only one thought in their minds. This was a fish! No matter what fish it was, it was still a fish.
Teacher King Kong was clearly well-prepared. He wore a headset and explained as he called out to the children who were running around. The children were clearly more interested in the specimens than Teacher King Kong’s explanation.
Fang Zikai stared at a glass box more than a meter tall with a specimen of a big fish inside. Fang Zikai pulled Fang Zicheng’s arm and asked, “Are all the fish in the sea so big?”
Fang Zicheng said, “There are also small ones.”
“I think the bottom of the sea is so scary.” He shivered and said, “When I think of my feet soaking in the sea, my body exposed on the surface of the sea, and the deep sea with all kinds of big fish below…” As he spoke, Fang Zikai could not help but rub his arms, feeling numb all over.
Fang Zicheng glanced at Fang Zikai with a disdainful expression. He said, “You have deep-sea phobia.”
Fang Zikai did not understand. “What illness?”
Knowing that this fool would not understand even if he said it, Fang Zicheng could not be bothered to explain to him.
Although the group was safe, it was also boring. Every time they passed by a place, they had to stop and listen to Teacher King Kong’s nagging. Later on, when they reached the jellyfish area, the children revealed happy expressions. On the walls on both sides of the aisle, there were rows of glass cabinets containing seawater. Different types of jellyfish floated in the seawater.
Gu Yiqiu shouted at Fang Zikai, “Kai Kai, come here!”
Fang Zikai ran over and said, “Boss, what’s wrong?”
Gu Yiqiu took off the camera around her neck and threw it to Fang Zikai. She said, “Help me take a few photos.”
“Okay.”
Fang Zikai knew how to take pictures, but his photography skills were ordinary.
With a casual snap, he turned Gu Yiqiu into a short and fat child.
Gu Yiqiu glanced at the photo he had taken and the smile on her face disappeared. “Ugly! Am I that fat?” Upon hearing this, Fang Zikai leaned over to look at the photo. He said, “You look like this!”
Gu Yiqiu rolled her eyes.
She looked at Fang Zicheng.
No matter where Fang Zicheng stood, there were no other children around him. No one dared to talk to him. Gu Yiqiu’s eyes shifted slightly. She asked Fang Zikai to wait and walked towards Fang Zicheng with her camera. Fang Zicheng was admiring a red jellyfish. He sensed it the moment Gu Yiqiu approached.
He tilted his head and met Gu Yiqiu’s thoughtful face. Fang Zicheng asked coldly, “What are you doing?”
Gu Yiqiu was the publicly acknowledged boss of their class, but this boss was actually a little afraid of Fang Zicheng.
She coughed lightly and asked Fang Zicheng, “Fang Zicheng, can you help me take a few photos with Fang Zikai?”
Fang Zicheng looked past Gu Yiqiu and at Fang Zikai behind her.
After a few seconds of silence, Fang Zicheng reached out to Gu Yiqiu and said, “…Give it to me.”
Gu Yiqiu quickly handed him the camera.
Gu Yiqiu chose a spot and stood there with Fang Zikai. She said to Fang Zicheng, “Take it.”
Fang Zicheng aimed the camera at the two of them. In the video, the two children were chubby and the effect of the photo made them especially short. He frowned and could only squat down. He found the best spot and took a few photos of them.
When Gu Yiqiu checked the results of the photo, she smiled.
“Fang Zicheng, you’re really amazing.”
Fang Zicheng did not say anything and walked forward.
Gu Yiqiu tilted her head and said to Fang Zikai, “Your brother is really amazing. He seems to know everything.”
Fang Zikai clicked his tongue and said disdainfully, “He doesn’t know how to give birth.”
Gu Yiqiu looked Fang Zikai up and down and asked him with a mischievous smile, “If he doesn’t know, then do you?”
Fang Zikai stopped talking.
The last stop in the aquarium was to admire the mermaid performance at three in the afternoon.
A group of children stood at the end of the glass railing and stared at the glass water tank erected in the middle of the house. There was a tattered sea boat in the water tank, and there was no mermaid. Teacher King Kong said, “The performance starts at three o’clock. You can see the mermaid then.”
“Oh!”
The children played in Teacher King Kong’s field of vision. Teacher King Kong did not dare to relax for a moment, afraid that he would lose the children.
Fang Zikai and Fang Zicheng were discussing what gift to buy for their sister.
Behind them, there were rows of counters selling some pearls and seashells. The two of them stood in front of the counter and stared at the lustrous beads. Fang Zikai said, “Buy this. This looks good. Sister looks good wearing it around her neck and hands.”
Fang Zicheng said, “Children like to eat random things. You can’t buy this. Pearls and shells choke easily.”
Fang Zikai scratched his head and revealed a vexed expression. “Why didn’t I think of that?”
They strolled around this floor and finally stopped in front of a doll shop that sold sea creatures. The two of them walked around the shop and finally took a fancy to a mermaid doll set at the same time. There were three dolls. One was wearing a blue dress, one was wearing a pink dress, and the other was wearing a golden dress.
The dolls were especially beautiful. The two mermaids in blue and pink dresses had golden curly hair and snow-white skin. The other had golden hair and red lips. She was especially good-looking.
“Buy this. This is beautiful! Our little sister will definitely look better than them.”
Fang Zikai stared at the doll and his heart itched. He even wanted to play with it.
Fang Zicheng was also a little tempted. He glanced at the price. This doll set is sold for 420 yuan. He pinched the money in his pocket and said, “There’s not enough money.”
Fang Zikai opened his mouth and subconsciously asked him, “Then what should we do?”
“I can only use my private money.”
Upon hearing this, Fang Zikai’s face collapsed and he was especially depressed. He said in a low voice, “I don’t have any private money. I’ve spent all my money.”
Fang Zicheng glanced at him with disdain and mockery.
He opened his wallet and handed the shopkeeper four hundred and fifty yuan. “I want this.”
The shopkeeper wrapped the doll up and handed it to him, giving him some change. Fang Zicheng carried the toy and turned around to walk back. Fang Zikai jogged after him. He was especially embarrassed and scratched his head with his nose. Fang Zicheng ignored him.
After returning to the performance area, Fang Zicheng focused on the scene in the glass pool.
He was also a child and was very curious about this mermaid performance.
Fang Zikai secretly tugged at Fang Zicheng’s jacket.
Fang Zicheng glanced at him.
Fang Zikai said, “Well, I’ll compensate you when I have pocket money next time.”
