Bi Fang, clad in a deerskin coat, waved contentedly from the shore as the Thesus set sail toward the horizon, while nearby, a gray whale surfaced, revealing its back and spouting mist.
Before long, the ocean returned to its serene state, the whale continued to swim powerfully as if nothing had happened.
The lone cry of the whale echoed over the desolate plain, melancholic and profound.
Bi Fang had witnessed "whale breaches" several times, but never had he observed them from such a close distance.
Humans always want to "explain" every action of animals, yet in the end, they still cannot understand what whales truly intend to convey through such behavior.
It might just want to feel the breeze on the sea surface or maybe it just felt like jumping up for no particular reason.
However, the scene before their eyes left the onlookers speechless—their hearts filled with an unexplainable something, like a surge of emotion, a thread of thought.
