Chapter 19 Giant Pandas on the Water, Their Graceful Reflections on the Azure Waves

"Wow, I can really see it!" Shu Chang stood on tiptoe, peering curiously. "There are even signs!"

Liu Yifei also turned her head slightly, looking at the small island that was "so close at hand".

On the island, there was lush vegetation and some old houses. The most eye-catching thing was the row of large white characters that read "The Three Principles of the People Unify China".

There's also one on Xiamen's Ring Road, which reads: "One Country, Two Systems, Unify China." They face each other across the sea.

Ling Yuan stood up, facing the sea breeze, and laughed, "There's a story behind this slogan."

"What joke is it? Tell us quickly!" Liu Yifei and Shu Chang were very interested and urged her on.

Ling Yuan then said, "The joke went something like this..."

It was said that the Nationalist army stationed in Kinmen received a phone call: "Your slogans for counterattacking the mainland have faded. Please repaint them."

The Nationalist soldier asked in confusion, "Who are you?"

A: "We are the XM City Tourism Bureau; tourists want to see this."

……

"Haha, this is hilarious!" Liu Yifei and Shu Chang laughed so hard they were shaking.

Ling Yuan said with a serious expression, "It is said that it is true. Once, a banner on Kinmen was blown away by the wind. The mainland called to urge that it be repaired. At first, the people on Kinmen were unhappy and said, 'Is it any of your business?' The Xiamen officials said, 'The tourists here want to see it.'"

"Did you swipe it in the end?"

"Of course it was repainted! You can tell by how new the slogan is; it must have been touched up recently. Tourists from Taiwan also want to see the mainland side; we're all one family across the strait!"

"Well said!" Liu Yifei gave a thumbs up and smiled sweetly.

"Kinmen's sorghum liquor, 58 degrees, is quite famous." Ling Yuan then pointed to a stretch of sea ahead and said, "A high-speed rail line will be built here in the future. By 2035, we'll most likely be able to take the high-speed rail to Sun Moon Lake!"

"High-speed rail? What's that? A high-speed railway?"

"Yes, a train traveling at 350 kilometers per hour!"

"That's practically the same as a helicopter."

"Brother Lingyuan, how do you know so much?"

These two girls are incredibly emotionally engaging.

Not far away, two security guards overheard this and exchanged bewildered glances, thinking, "What high-speed rail? And it's going to Taiwan? Is that even possible?"

We've never heard of it. President Ling is indeed President Ling, he's well-informed. I reckon... he might be able to get in touch with the higher-ups?

Such a beautiful day and scenery naturally calls for taking photos to commemorate it.

"Come on, ladies, look this way!" Ling Yuan said with a smile, raising his DSLR camera. "Cheese!"

Upon hearing this, Liu Yifei naturally turned to the side and gave the camera a faint smile, the sea breeze ruffling the stray hairs on her cheeks.

Shu Chang immediately threw away the watermelon rind, wiped her mouth haphazardly, made a big peace sign, and smiled so wide that her eyes disappeared, full of energy.

Ling Yuan quickly pressed the shutter, capturing this youthful and vibrant moment.

The two beauties took many different poses, including solo photos and photos of them as best friends.

Ling Yuan's heart skipped a beat, and he waved to a security guard in the corner: "Hey bro, do us a favor, give us three a ticket!"

"Alright, Mr. Ling!" The security guard jogged over, took the heavy camera, and nervously fiddled with it.

Ling Yuan briefly explained to him how to film.

Then, quite naturally, he found himself between the two beautiful women.

Liu Yifei and Shu Chang stood on either side of him.

Liu Yifei smiled, leaned slightly towards Ling Yuan, and deliberately moved her suspenders to the side, revealing her smooth and fair shoulders.

Shu Chang, in a very casual manner, almost linked arms with Ling Yuan.

The three of them smiled brightly at the camera, with the azure sea and Kinmen Island clearly visible in the background.

The security guard, peering through the viewfinder at the pleasing scene, couldn't help but mutter to himself, "Tsk, Mr. Ling's life... I'm so envious!"

"That fairy-like woman really knows how to pose, she's so alluring. Anyone else probably wouldn't get that kind of treatment."

Actually, the security guard also wanted to go up and take a photo with him, but in the end, he obediently took the photo, returned the camera to Ling Yuan, and went back to his "workstation".

The yacht continued its journey, heading towards the wider sea.

The engine roared, the speed increased, and it cut through the waves.

Following instructions, the captain arrived at the waters where Indo-Pacific humpback dolphins are often seen. Unfortunately, he was a bit unlucky and circled the area many times without seeing a single one.

Apart from the undulating waves and the occasional seabirds flying by.

They also witnessed seabirds catching fish, and the two girls cheered with joy, which Ling Yuan captured on camera.

However, Shu Chang gradually went from being excited to listless, leaning on the railing with her chin resting on her arm, her little face full of disappointment: "Sigh...did the baby dolphins all go to sleep in?"

Liu Yifei also sighed softly, a hint of regret in her eyes.

After all, we came here specifically to see the white dolphins.

Ling Yuan glanced at his watch, then at the sky, and was about to suggest turning back.

Suddenly, "Ahhh!!"

Shu Chang jumped up as if she'd been electrocuted, pointing excitedly to the distant sea to her left, her voice trembling: "Dolphins! Dolphins! Look! Isn't that! Isn't that a dolphin!!!"

Ling Yuan and Liu Yifei perked up instantly and quickly looked in the direction she pointed.

really!

On the shimmering sea, several elegant and graceful pink and white figures are joyfully leaping out of the water!

They traced graceful arcs, splashing up glistening water droplets, before disappearing into the sea with a "plop," and then new figures leaped up not far away.

Not just one, but a small group!

Its distinctive pinkish-white skin stands out against the grayish-blue seawater; it is the precious Indo-Pacific humpback dolphin, a Class I protected animal in China, often referred to as the "giant panda of the water."

Even in zoos, they are extremely rare.

Nanning Zoo once kept a Chinese white dolphin named "Lao Bai" in captivity for a long period. This dolphin was rescued in 2007 but never released back into the wild. However, its keeping and display sparked widespread controversy. Later, in late 2025 or early 2026, the project was suspended, and "Lao Bai" has not appeared in public since. Of course, that's all in the future.

At this time, if you want to see Indo-Pacific humpback dolphins, you can only rely on chance encounters in the wild.

Xiamen is the only place where you can see it from the sea near the main urban area.

"Wow, so beautiful, it really is a white dolphin!" Liu Yifei's eyes lit up instantly, her disappointment vanished and replaced by pure surprise.

Her smile was as beautiful as a flower.

"Quickly, Captain, head over there!" Ling Yuan waved excitedly towards the cockpit and shouted.

The yacht immediately changed course and sped toward the dolphin pod.

As the distance closed, the elfin figures became clearer and clearer.

They may gracefully cruise on the sea surface, revealing their distinctive short, rounded snouts; or playfully leap high into the air, displaying their fluid forms; or gather in groups of three or five, chasing and frolicking with each other, leaving behind strings of bubbles and ripples.

"Slow down, slow down, don't startle them!" Ling Yuan quickly reminded the captain again.

The yacht quickly slowed down, maintaining a polite distance, and followed slowly and quietly behind the group of sea creatures.

Ling Yuan had already retrieved a home DV camcorder from the cabin. These days, these things are quite expensive, with entry-level ones costing three to five thousand yuan, and slightly better ones costing seven or eight thousand yuan, or around ten thousand yuan.

Lingyuan bought it for over 20,000 yuan, and its performance is excellent.

Power on and align smoothly.

"Sisi, sing, come into the frame!" Ling Yuan called to the two girls.

Liu Yifei and Shu Chang immediately understood and, with their backs to the dolphins playing in front of them, rushed into Ling Yuan's shot.
