I have to say that part of the ticket price for Thousand Islands Aquarium is indeed worth it.
Not to mention the popular science speakers that will automatically explain fish knowledge at the touch of a button. These exquisitely made, lifelike silicone models that can even feel fish scales to the touch can make people feel that the aquarium’s services are attentive.
.
In the nearby open space surrounded by aquariums, there is an open cafe for visitors to rest, selling cold drinks, ice cream, snacks and desserts. Chen Ziang put the models he brought back on the table, so that his sister could slowly touch them one by one, and create them in his mind
Draw the corresponding appearance here.
Although they cannot see their brilliant and fantastic colors, it is probably some kind of satisfying experience for Chen Xiaozhu who does not leave home.
"Senior, let me take my time here to 'watch' my sister-chan." Tsukimiya Suzuna took a cup of ice cream and said while eating, "Let's go there for a walk."
"Leave Ms. Xiaozhu to the old man to take care of you." Goro Emon immediately suggested to create an opportunity for his young lady to be alone.
Seeing his sister's calm look, Chen Ziang felt relieved and followed Suzuna Tsukinomiya towards the depths of the aquarium.
To be honest, how long has it been since you relaxed like this?
In the past, in order to take care of my younger sister, I almost never left the house on holidays. Even if I rarely went out, I would never leave my sister's side for a moment. I was worried that she would not be able to see the road and get injured, and I also didn't want her to be scared because she didn't have my brother with me.
It’s really convenient to have a butler to help look after you...
Chen Ziang was just letting his thoughts wander when his right hand was suddenly grabbed by someone and pulled forward slightly.
"Senior, look! Saka!" Suzuna Tsukimiya's lively and cheerful voice quickly brought his consciousness back to reality.
Before he could try to break free, the warm touch in his hand disappeared again.
Tsukimiya Suzuna lay on the glass of the aquarium, staring at the elegantly swimming fish inside with wide eyes, and said in surprise:
"Senior, how many colors do the scales of this fish have? It's like a rainbow!"
"Indeed." Chen Ziang looked at these colorful fish. As they stretched their scales as they swam, the colors reflected were constantly changing. They were indeed quite beautiful species.
"What is Saka?"
"It means 'fish'." Suzuna Tsukimiya continued to press against the glass and said, "Senior, although my family background is pretty good, my upbringing was very strict when I was young. My parents wouldn't let me go out with my friends at all.
"
"So, this is actually my first time at the aquarium."
"How do you feel?" Chen Ziang asked.
"I feel... I still like fish." Tsukimiya Suzuna poked the glass with her finger, trying to attract the attention of these rainbow fish.
Chen Ziang thought she would have to watch for a long time, but she quickly lost interest in these fish and turned around and said:
"Senior, let's go to the Dolphin Bay in front and try some fish by the way."
Dolphin Bay is a non-open-air fjord connected to the external thermal lake of the aquarium. Because the staff puts feed here all year round, it attracts many freshwater dolphins to live nearby, which is considered a semi-wild and semi-domesticated species.
These freshwater dolphins are very smart and can understand the instructions of the keepers and perform performances. However, due to the popularity of animal protectionism in recent years, many people subconsciously equate "animal training" with "animal abuse", so the corresponding dolphin performances are also
It was strongly criticized and boycotted by the public media, and eventually the aquarium had to announce the permanent suspension of this event.
Therefore, when Chen Ziang and Suzuna Tsukimiya arrived at Dolphin Cove, they only saw tourists leaning on the railings in twos and threes, while freshwater dolphins kept raising their heads out of the water and calling friendly to these tourists.
I don't know whether it means "feed me" or "play with me". After all, he has never redeemed the power of "proficient in animal language".
Tsukimiya Suzuna looked to the right, and there was a large open space adjacent to the mouth of the bay. It was originally a place to watch dolphin performances, and now a group wedding of newlyweds is about to be held.
Where is Xiaoxi now? Why hasn't she come yet?
After all, it's a wedding at two o'clock in the afternoon. You should be there and waiting at least ten o'clock in the morning, right?
Even if you don't care about your wedding, at least don't forget to help me!
She quietly looked at Chen Ziang with her peripheral vision. Seeing that her senior seemed to be very interested in these freshwater dolphins, she quickly took out her cell phone and planned to ask her friend's current location.
"Mr. Chen?" A woman's voice suddenly sounded next to him.
Tsukimiya Suzuna was suddenly startled and quickly raised her head, only to find that the tourist who came to say hello was a woman who looked to be in her forties.
"Ms. Takano?" Chen Ziang recognized the other party and said in surprise.
"I didn't expect you to still remember me." The other party seemed to want to show a polite smile, but failed in the end.
The tangled melancholy lingered in her eyes, turning this woman into a sluggish person. This made Chen Ziang feel that something was wrong... because he still remembered that the last time he saw this woman, she was still very shrewd.
A capable working woman has a resolute attitude in speaking and doing things.
But he didn't think too much about it for the time being. He just introduced Tsukimiya Suzuna:
"Takano Seiko is a very powerful lawyer. This is my colleague, Tsukimiya Suzuna."
"Hello, Ms. Takano." Tsukimiya Suzuna said reservedly.
"Tsukumiya Suzuna?" Takano Seiko seemed to recognize her and asked in surprise, "You are... the daughter of Tsukimiya Kiyomasa from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs?"
"It's my father." Tsukimiya Suzuna admitted frankly.
After hearing the news, Takano Seiko was stunned for a long time, and then whispered:
"Mr. Chen, I haven't seen you for a long time. Although it is very presumptuous to mention this matter rashly, I need your help."
Tsukimiya Suzuna couldn't help but lament in her heart, and when Chen Ziang heard the masses reporting the case for help, he subconsciously entered the professional state of a security officer and said seriously:
"Is something wrong? Please tell me."
Takano Seiko was silent for a moment and suddenly said:
"Mr. Chen, do you still remember the previous sexual harassment case?"
"Remember." Chen Ziang nodded. Seeing Suzuna Tsukimiya next to him looking confused (why would he meet such a person on a good date), he also explained it to her by the way.
That was nearly two and a half years after he joined the Public Security Bureau. When he was out on duty investigating a case, he happened to encounter a strange man who beat up Seiko Takano.
As a security officer, although he is responsible for mysterious matters, maintaining social order is also a professional instinct, so Chen Ziang quickly stopped the fight - and then he learned the whole story.
It turns out that Takano Seiko is a lawyer and is helping his client solve the problem of sexual harassment in the workplace.
Since the client's request was to stop the harassment and avoid litigation as much as possible, after she collected enough evidence, she invited the other party to negotiate and ordered him to curb his behavior, otherwise she would resort to legal action.
However, probably seeing that she was a woman, the other party suddenly had the idea of violence and planned to snatch away the evidence she presented and destroy it.
If Chen Ziang hadn't come to the rescue, let alone the evidence, she would have been beaten.
"After that, we became friends with each other." Chen Ziang finally said, "If I have any legal issues at work, I will occasionally consult lawyer Gao Ye."
"Oh, that's it." Tsukimiya Suzuna breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that she was just a tool friend.
"Mr. Chen." Takano Seiko smiled palely, and then continued, "Actually... it was precisely because of that case that I had the idea to do something."
"Sexual harassment, whether in the workplace or in life, is difficult to obtain evidence, difficult to define, and difficult to enforce justice. Women have always been victims in this regard and are undoubtedly a vulnerable group. Many people just endure it silently.
Hurt, let alone use the law to protect yourself, you don't even dare to say 'no' to the perpetrator."
“Therefore, some partners from the law firm and I later formed an organization called the ‘Women’s Mutual Aid Association’.”
"We will proactively find victims of sexual harassment, persuade them to entrust them, guide them to actively collect evidence, and use the law or the weapons of public opinion to protect themselves."
"Oh, isn't that good?" Chen Ziang nodded.
Then, I saw the forced polite smile on Takano Seiko's face finally faded away, leaving only a sad and powerless paleness:
"Just last month, a college student asked our women's mutual aid association to accuse him of being secretly photographed up his skirt by a male classmate."
"Several members of our organization accepted the commission and approached the school to try to intervene and ask the boy... to publicly apologize to the victim."
"But the boy always refused to admit it, and then that night, he jumped from the balcony on the fifth floor."
