It was the brightest time of day, and Xu Qiaoqiao used the faint light from her ears to slowly walk past the outer edge of the emperor penguin colony. Although all the emperor penguins looked the same, Xu Qiaoqiao could accurately recognize Jun Qi.

"Gaga gaga!" Junjun, Junjun, Junjun!

Xu Qiaoqiao saw a lone emperor penguin standing next to the group of emperor penguins. He didn't speak or exchange experiences with his companions; he just stayed there quietly, his emperor penguin egg resting properly on his foot.

He appeared to be separated from the emperor penguins by an invisible barrier.

Unfortunately, that wasn't the case. He just felt that these guys were too noisy. Considering that he wasn't a lone goose anymore, and that he was also with Xu Qiaoqiao's baby, he didn't go too far for the time being, fearing that something unexpected might happen again.

Although Jun Qi believed he was capable enough to protect the egg, there was always a chance of something going wrong, so it was better to be cautious.

"Gaga?" Qiao Qiao?

When Jun Qi heard the familiar voice, he turned his neck, looked around, and let out a shout, which was a response to Xu Qiaoqiao's call.

"Gah gah, gah-gah-" Junjun, I see you. Don't move, wait for me to come over, do you hear me?

Xu Qiaoqiao squinted at the emperor penguin, and a second later, she realized that he was her Junjun. So she excitedly ran towards him.

With a big fish by my side and Junjun with their Emperor Penguin Eggs, I'm definitely more free.

Hearing Xu Qiaoqiao's words, Jun Qi breathed a slight sigh of relief. He really did as Xu Qiaoqiao said and stood there obediently, facing her direction, quietly waiting for her to run up to him.

This is the most special thing about the two of them.

To put it in a more old-fashioned way, in my eyes, only you are shining; you are different from the other penguins.

When Xu Qiaoqiao ran up to Jun Qi, Jun Qi realized that she was dragging something behind her.

"Gah gah?" Qiao Qiao, what did you bring back?

Jun Qi recalled what Xu Qiaoqiao had said to him when they parted, and then saw her bringing the things she had dragged along the way to him. He instantly realized what was going on, tilted his head, and blinked.

He was waiting for Xu Qiaoqiao's answer to see if it was what he thought.

Xu Qiaoqiao laughed, leaned over, and kissed and rubbed against Jun Qi, feeling very satisfied.

"Gah gah gah." It's food, food I specially brought back for you.

Look!

Xu Qiaoqiao moved the fish to Jun Qi's feet. The faint light hadn't disappeared yet, so he could roughly see the fish's outline. It was quite large, probably between 80 and 100 centimeters long. If it stood upright, it would be slightly shorter than Xu Qiaoqiao.

"..."

His heart was pounding. This wasn't the first time this had happened, but Jun Qi was still touched by Xu Qiaoqiao's little gestures each time. He thought to himself that his little girlfriend was really good, exceptionally good, and he truly loved her.

...

"Don't worry about going hungry. I'll come back early and bring you food."

"I won't be with them."

...

Jun Qi thought of what Xu Qiaoqiao had said to him before, and then looked at the fish at his feet. After a few seconds of stunned silence, he returned Xu Qiaoqiao's enthusiasm with double the enthusiasm without hesitation: "Thank you, Qiaoqiao. I'm very touched. Also, I missed you."

He couldn't say anything, but these were the words Jun Qi most wanted to say to Xu Qiaoqiao right now. The feelings between them had long since seeped into their very bones, becoming an inseparable part of each other. That word, without needing to be spoken, was understood perfectly.

"Gah—" Hehe, I can feel it.

I miss you so much. I wonder how you feel when you're hungry. After all, this is the first time you've ever gone hungry. Xu Qiaoqiao was very concerned. Hunger is unpleasant, not to mention that he would have to endure this for several more days.

After the babies are born, you will need to feed them.

Xu Qiaoqiao patted Jun Qi's beak and affectionately kissed and rubbed against his chest. Because there was still an egg on Jun Qi's foot, her actions were not too unrestrained.

The two of them weren't speaking very loudly. The nearest emperor penguin was about two to three meters away from them. Given the dim environment, they were mostly resting.

Xu Qiaoqiao tiptoed slightly, leaning most of her body against Jun Qi. She whispered in Jun Qi's ear, "I missed you so much, so I came back to see you."

"Giggle giggle." Jun Qi hugged Xu Qiaoqiao. In order to give birth to Dandan, she had lost a lot of body fat, but it was not very obvious from the outside. She still looked chubby and cute.

After a brief separation, the young couple snuggled together intimately, whispering secrets and sharing what they had thought and done during the few days apart.

Although the words "I miss you" were not explicitly stated, the meaning was implied in every sentence.

In the end, Xu Qiaoqiao couldn't help herself and kept worrying about Jun Qi's stomach, so she temporarily interrupted this phase. She patted Jun Qi's head and cackled several times, "Stop talking, stop talking. Let's eat first. Jun Jun, you've been hungry for so many days. You must be feeling very uncomfortable."

After saying that, thinking about Jun Qi's current state, Xu Qiaoqiao added worriedly, "But Jun Jun, is it convenient for you to incubate the eggs right now?"
