The emperor penguin chicks in the colony are unaware of the significance of this event.

They thought that their parents had left this time just like last time, to hunt, and that they would return in time to bring them plenty of food.

However, I felt inexplicably sad.

The children all looked at their parents' resolute backs, chirping softly a few times, not understanding why the atmosphere was so sad at this moment.

Everyone was quiet. The wind kept blowing around them as they watched the adult emperor penguins leaving in the morning light. They simply watched them silently.

"Chirp".

Jun Qi looked at Xu Qiaoqiao's profile and sensed her distress, so he sighed inwardly.

Qiaoqiao is still the same...

Even knowing that they would eventually leave, they still invested their feelings, only to be deeply hurt when they parted ways.

But if it weren't like this, it wouldn't be Qiao Qiao.

and……

He felt the same way. Thinking of this, Jun Qi narrowed his eyes slightly. Sure enough, no matter which world he was in, he didn't like separation. This was just a temporary separation, after all, Emperor Penguin Dad and Mom were still alive.

If we continue to spend time with them, it will probably be even more painful when they leave this world.

Xu Qiaoqiao leaned against Jun Qi the whole time. The penguin looked weak and listless. Looking up, the figures of the emperor penguin parents were almost gone, and only small black dots could be seen.

Finally, it disappeared in the dawn.

Jun Qi leaned closer, pressing his cheek against Xu Qiaoqiao's and rubbing it slightly. Both of them were relatively clean emperor penguins, so their downy feathers were also very clean, without any clumps or bald patches. They looked very smooth, fluffy, and fluffy.

"Chirp." Xu Qiaoqiao uttered a meaningless syllable, blinked, and kept looking at the backs of the emperor penguin parents.

This was probably the last time they would see each other.

"Chirp chirp, chirp chirp chirp." Junjun, I feel a little uncomfortable right now, and I'm very unhappy.

Jun Qi patiently comforted her, patted her head, and hugged her: "I know. If you're upset, you can cry. After all, today's situation is special."

Xu Qiaoqiao shook her head: "I'm just sad, but I can't cry."

Can't cry?

Jun Qi blinked. If you can't cry, then just laugh?

But what could make Jojo laugh?

He began to think carefully, considering the things Qiaoqiao had said to him before, and which ones were suitable for comforting him.

Or, it could ruin the atmosphere.

These are all Qiaoqiao's statements.

"Chirp chirp".

Jun Qi hesitated for a few seconds. He calculated the current time and, combined with the information Xu Qiaoqiao had given him, he felt that he had found a solution.

"Chirp chirp chirp, chirp chirp chirp, chirp chirp, chirp chirp~" Jojo, take it easy. It's summer now, which means that the adult emperor penguins need to find new mates.

That means they're going to find someone to have a new baby.

Xu Qiaoqiao: ...

Very well, those words really ruined the atmosphere.

She watched the little dots disappear into the dawn. Indeed, judging by the time, it was time for them to end this old relationship and start a new one. This kind of thing was very common among emperor penguins.

Jun Qi carefully observed Xu Qiaoqiao's expression and breathed a sigh of relief when he noticed she had calmed down a bit. He thought that this method was indeed effective, after all, these adult emperor penguins couldn't exactly bring their babies on blind dates, could they?

Separation is inevitable.

"Chirp chirp." Qiao Qiao?

Xu Qiaoqiao blinked, holding back the tears that were about to fall. She looked up at Jun Qi, then slowly lowered her head. Seeing this, Jun Qi also followed Xu Qiaoqiao's action, lowered his head, and then leaned over, nose to nose, as the cold wind kept blowing.

"Chirp chirp." Thank you, Junjun, I'm much better now.

A large part of the sadness in my heart has been released; the rest I need to slowly digest on my own.

Even though Dad and Mom were remarrying, their love for each other was very deep. Even though they spent very little time together, they cherished it all, including Jun Qi.

Thinking of this, Xu Qiaoqiao stretched out her arm and tried to hold Jun Qi's arm. The two soft arms were clasped together, furry and soft. The two looked at each other in the sunlight without making a sound.

The departure of the emperor penguin parents also signifies that the emperor penguin chicks are about to begin their truly independent lives.

Everyone was still very confused, but after today, everyone went back to eating, drinking, and playing as usual, and nothing changed. Only the two fake emperor penguin chicks knew what had happened.

You will never see your parents again, but sometimes not knowing is another kind of happiness.

Perhaps in order to get over this sadness quickly, Teacher Qiaoqiao started going online.

"Chirp chirp chirp." You guys, come with me.

Xu Qiaoqiao stood beside Jun Qi, saying something herself while letting Jun Qi express himself. This was mainly to prevent the emperor penguin chicks from disobeying her.

Jun Qi also obediently acted as a messenger, and he was very happy that Qiao Qiao had finally regained some of her spirits.

"Chirp chirp." Okay, boss.

The emperor penguin chicks all said one sentence in unison and then started to line up. This was not something Jun Qi taught them; it was something they naturally learned without needing to be taught.

This task is also very effortless.

Then Xu Qiaoqiao led these people out slowly to a place where the snow was relatively soft, and began to demonstrate to these little ones. With Jun Qi watching over them, not a single emperor penguin chick dared to slack off.

"Chirp chirp chirp, chirp chirp chirp~" Did you see what I just did? You can't just dig randomly, you have to find a foothold, and at the same time, you have to have a good idea of ​​how soft the snow is.

After Xu Qiaoqiao demonstrated how to dig a hole, she also pointed out some points to note, and how to get the emperor penguin chicks to start moving around. Today's task was to dig a hole.

Teacher Xu Qiaoqiao and teaching assistant Jun Qi watched from the side, and sometimes they would even come down to observe.

Because there are quite a few emperor penguin chicks, Xu Qiaoqiao is teaching them separately. She plans to teach one batch first, and then have them teach others.

However, these emperor penguin chicks have no idea how to teach them, and some even fought over it.

Therefore, this suggestion was undoubtedly rejected.

The Adélie penguins nearby looked quite happy.

During this period, the emperor penguin chicks, in particular, have all banded together and become very united. They've all been beaten up several times, and being bullies who prey on the weak, they've quieted down.

However, they clearly have no intention of leaving yet.
