The Oceanarium's morning show started at 10:30.
Upbeat music filled the air as the sweet voice of the female emcee rang out.
"Our next act is the thrilling 'Aerialist'!"
"This act will test the unspoken bond between our dolphins and their Tamers. The slightest mistake means failure, so please give our precious dolphins and their Tamers a big round of applause for encouragement!"
...
At the edge of the dolphin pool, Shen Xin, dressed in a blue-and-black wetsuit, gave a slight wave before diving headfirst into the water.
An instant later, Xingbao swam beneath Shen Xin, precisely nudged him upward, and carried him through the water to the center of the pool.
The dolphin swam away, leaving Shen Xin treading water.
From nearby, Yuexiao swam over to take his place.
Shen Xin held his feet as still as possible as Yuexiao precisely positioned its snout and dorsal fin under his soles.
As the dolphin began to swim, Shen Xin was lifted out of the water as if he were riding a surfboard.
