The emperor penguin chick uttered a few more provocative words, but Sui Sui remained unmoved, which only fueled his curiosity and competitive spirit, causing him to call out louder and louder.

But Sui Sui did the same thing: she tried to curl herself into a ball, covered her ears with her two little wings, and pretended not to hear.

That little emperor penguin looks kind of silly, and he doesn't want to play with them. His father always said not to play with silly emperor penguins who aren't very bright, or he'll get caught up in their ways.

However, my mother is an exception.

Xu Qiaoqiao: "..."

So stubborn! I never expected that.

Clearly, Sui Sui doesn't want to socialize right now, so she can't force him too much. Anyway, when he gets bigger and can't stay in the pouch anymore, he'll socialize with other emperor penguin chicks when she and Jun Qi go hunting together.

"Hehe." Oh well, if he doesn't like it, I won't force him.

The emperor penguin chick opposite them grew increasingly serious. He stared intently at Sui Sui, almost to the point of being irritating. He had already said all the provocative things he remembered, but why was this little chick still so calm?

The emperor penguin chick put its hands on its hips, puffed out its cheeks, and looked just like a pufferfish: "I'm angry!"

Why is this guy ignoring me?

I'm so angry!

"Chirp chirp chirp!"

The little emperor penguin let out a meaningless syllable of rage. Looking at the not-so-distant distance between them, he stretched out his little wings and flapped them several times, as if trying to pry at Sui Sui.

"Chirp chirp." Sui Sui called softly, then shrank further in, curling up and burying her head in her chest. No matter what the other person did, she didn't react.

This scene appears in many emperor penguin chicks, but few are as stubborn as Sui Sui. Other emperor penguin chicks probably can't resist popping out and preparing for a "friendly" exchange when the other party is only on the third or first sentence of the provocation.

But Sui Sui didn't; this little rascal is very patient.

The emperor penguin mother opposite looked at this scene with a hint of doubt in her eyes. She tilted her head, looked at Xu Qiaoqiao, and opened her mouth: "Gah—?"

Is your baby sick?

Upon hearing the other person's words, Xu Qiaoqiao shook her head slightly. No, he was just shy.

"Oh, I see," the Emperor Penguin mom on the other side nodded knowingly. Indeed, that's what her little one called him, but he was still hiding in his mother's pouch, looking really shy.

Since Sui Sui had no desire to socialize, Xu Qiaoqiao had no choice but to take him away.

In the days that followed, the little cub remained lazy. Perhaps he knew he was growing up and getting bigger, but he didn't want to go out and just wanted to stay with his mother.

So almost every year, she curls up her body into a ball as much as possible to take up less space, hoping to stay in her mother's pouch for a while longer before her father comes back.

After all... sob sob, it's so warm inside.

Thinking this, Sui Sui rubbed her cheek against the fur under Xu Qiao Qiao's belly and smiled happily. Her mother and father were different. Her mother was much gentler. If her father were in this situation, he would definitely be very impatient and would just pick her head off.

"Chirp chirp".

However, he missed his father a little.

After all, the first person Sui Sui saw when she hatched was Jun Qi. Although she couldn't see what he was thinking, the innocent little guy could tell that he was very happy when he came into this world.

...

On the other side, Jun Qi led the emperor penguins to the beach. They saw the sea, caught food, and their empty stomachs were finally filled. They were in a really good mood, and their happy calls could be heard from time to time on the shore.

Jun Qi was thinking about his wife and children back at the settlement, so he hunted much faster than before. They had already spent several days on the road, and if they lingered here any longer, it would take almost a month.

Jun Qi: No, we have to hurry.

She hadn't eaten in January and still had to feed the cubs. Although Jun Qi trusted Xu Qiaoqiao, he felt that she would still go hungry in the last few days.

So he gave these emperor penguins orders to fatten me up and fill my belly within the next few days, because he planned to go back in the next few days.

Emperor penguins: ...

!!

No way! A few days isn't enough. It will take at least ten days, or even longer.

Jun Qi glanced at them coldly.

Everyone immediately shut up. Oh well, a few days is fine. Like the female emperor penguins, they had lost a lot of weight. One of the reasons they came to hunt this time was to eat it all back.

The cries of seagulls rose, mingling with the crashing of waves, and the scent of the ocean filled the air.

Jun Qi squinted at the beautiful scenery, feeling a strong urge to see someone. After they recognized each other, he didn't like being separated from them, and this time was no different. However, it was all for the sake of the child.

That way, Qiaoqiao will be happy too.

...

Xu Qiaoqiao really didn't expect that these male emperor penguins would return so early this time.

Hearing the constant cawing and chirping sounds around her, Xu Qiaoqiao paused, as if she remembered something. She then walked to the side, trying to keep her distance from the emperor penguins, and went to the place where Jun Qi used to stay, waiting for him to come over.
