As the blizzard gradually subsided, some time had passed, but Jun Qi was still sleeping in Xu Qiaoqiao's arms.

This blizzard has intensified the whiteness here, creating a vast expanse of white. The only colors that stand out are the sea and the sky.

However, the sky was rather dark at this time, and the sun could not be seen at all, making the surroundings dark as well.

The wind kept blowing, whistling across the magnificent glaciers like the sound of glass being scraped, which was extremely jarring.

Just then, when the blizzard stopped and the sun shone on the area again, Jun Qi woke up. He blinked his dazed eyes, clearly still a bit groggy from just waking up.

“Gah.” Qiao Qiao.

Jun Qi leaned against Xu Qiaoqiao's chest and let out a cry, which had a strangely childish feel to it, but it was only this once.

Xu Qiaoqiao patted Jun Qi's head and gently responded to his question. Since Jun Qi fell asleep, Xu Qiaoqiao hadn't changed her position. Jun Qi's sleep quality was already not very good, especially in that kind of environment. Xu Qiaoqiao knew that even if Jun Qi was asleep, he was in a light sleep and could be easily woken up.

Finally, there was a time when Junjun was able to sleep on his own. Xu Qiaoqiao didn't want to miss this opportunity, and she also felt sorry for Junjun in this state. There are many hidden dangers in the wild, and they are not animals at the top of the food chain. It is very necessary to have such a vigilant mind.

"Gaga gaga, gaga." Good morning, Junjun.

Xu Qiaoqiao happily said this to Jun Qi. She glanced at the sun overhead, then quickly shook her head from side to side to remove the snow from her head. She then touched Jun Qi's head, because he was leaning against Xu Qiaoqiao's chest, and apart from the areas on his body that were not covered by the sun, there was no snow anywhere else.

Jun Qi rubbed his eyes, yawned, and slowly got up from Xu Qiaoqiao's arms. When he stood up straight, he was a full head taller than Xu Qiaoqiao. He opened his arms and hugged Xu Qiaoqiao, nuzzling his chin against her head.

Good morning to you too, Qiaoqiao.

After being hugged by Jun Qi, Xu Qiaoqiao secretly moved her webbed feet. Actually, the way she was holding the emperor penguin was very tiring. In addition, the emperor penguin walks in a squatting position, not in a straight line, so Xu Qiaoqiao felt even more tired.

Whether in books or on screen, emperor penguins are always depicted as chubby, cute, and with short legs. But in reality, they also have surprisingly long legs, and they even have knees!

Xu Qiaoqiao only learned about this after becoming an Emperor Penguin. After all, these creatures have such short legs that they are easily recognizable, just like owls, but owls also have hidden long legs.

Moreover, if you look closely, you'll notice that the difference in leg length between when they jump into the sea and when they walk is quite obvious.

However, in a sense, Xu Qiaoqiao and Jun Qi are two fake penguins. At the beginning, when Xu Qiaoqiao found out about this, she would force herself to stand up straight and walk, but it was too difficult, and she would fall after walking a few steps.

But walking while squatting is different; this posture is very comfortable.

In addition, during the period immediately after birth, Xu Qiaoqiao stayed in her parents' brood pouch. Inside, she discovered some unusual things: the "dome" shape formed by the emperor penguin's legs, which was used to cover the egg or chick with the folds of its abdomen.

It's just a small nest, Xu Qiaoqiao thought to herself.

Jun Qi shook his head, and after clearing his head, asked Xu Qiaoqiao how much time had passed.

"Gah." I don't know.

There were no clocks here, so it was impossible to tell the time, Xu Qiaoqiao replied to Jun Qi with a smile.

"Gaga gaga." Let's go back.

Jun Qi patted Xu Qiaoqiao's head, then stretched out his arm, gesturing for her to come closer. Emperor penguins don't have fingers, so this position was a bit difficult for them, but the young couple were happy to do it.

Shifting our gaze to the gathering area, we saw several emperor penguins still asleep, while others had indeed woken up. They simply stayed put, looking at their companions around them, occasionally making some noises, appearing quite relaxed.

People dispersed in twos and threes, and as the blizzard began to subside, a few emperor penguins came out alone. Although their close-knit posture was warm, it was a little awkward.

"Huh?" Where's the boss?

Happy looked around the area but couldn't find Jun Qi or Xu Qiaoqiao. He tilted his head in confusion, wondering why he couldn't find his boss.

Seeing Happy's actions, Oka, still bound by ropes, ran over. He rushed up to Happy, called out cheerfully, and then asked, "Happy, what are you doing?"

Happy shook his head in frustration, his voice low: "I'm looking for the boss, but I haven't seen him, not even Sister Qiaoqiao."

If you're looking for the boss, then I won't get involved.

Upon hearing Happy's words, Oka gave an awkward laugh, said nothing more, and simply slipped away.

The ropes binding him hadn't been untied yet, even after several days. You see, he had made a mistake before—a real mistake—eating a dead fish and getting beaten up by several emperor penguins. This had made Oka somewhat resistant to dead fish.

As he ran, he kicked up a few snowflakes, which landed all over Hapi's face.

Happy: ...
