"Chirp chirp".

Sui Sui weaved through the chaotic scene, occasionally raising his head to look at everything around him and listen to the voices of the emperor penguin parents. Everyone looked the same, and he really couldn't tell who was who.

Where are my elderly parents?

I can't find them.

Soon, several emperor penguin parents found their chicks and began to express their longing. Even though no parents had taught them this, they could still sense that after seeing their chicks this time, the chance of seeing them again was very slim.

When I think back to when this happened, my parents had fed me a very rich meal, and after cuddling and kissing me, they left me.

I haven't run into them since; perhaps it's just not meant to be.

They don't think about why the emperor penguin parents have to leave their chicks at this time; they simply reenact these events based on their childhood memories.

Xu Qiaoqiao and Jun Qi stood at the end of the emperor penguin line and didn't move much. When all the emperor penguin parents found their babies, it wasn't so crowded in front of them anymore.

Xu Qiaoqiao patted Jun Qi's shoulder, pointed to the road ahead, and gestured for us to walk together. It had been so long since she had seen Sui Sui, and she was afraid that the little one would cry from feeling wronged.

"Gaga." I'll listen to you.

Jun Qi decisively said that he usually didn't bother to prepare for these small things and would just listen to Qiao Qiao.

So the two of them staggered forward, Xu Qiaoqiao calling out Sui Sui's name, hoping that the little one would run out on her own when she heard her voice.

As a result, nothing changed along the way.

When Xu Qiaoqiao and Jun Qi arrived at their usual spot, she turned to look at the group of emperor penguins, scratching her head in confusion. Wait a minute, could it be that the little guy didn't hear her?

"Giggle?" Junjun, have you seen Suisui?

"..." Jun Qi looked at these emperor penguin chicks that all looked almost identical and couldn't tell them apart at all. He shook his head slightly at Xu Qiaoqiao, saying that unless he made a sound, he really couldn't recognize them.

Xu Qiaoqiao was the same; she couldn't recognize the little ones either. She just felt that every single one of them looked like her own Sui Sui, and they were so incredibly cute, chirping away.

"Gah—" Then let's wait here, or look around some more, there's bound to be some lone little rascals.

Xu Qiaoqiao listened to Jun Qi's suggestion and nodded in agreement. That's right, she felt that even if her and Jun Jun's little one was silly, they could still have some kind of telepathic connection.

At this moment, the little one whom Xu Qiaoqiao believed had a telepathic connection with them mistook their parents for their own.

"Chirp chirp." Dad and Mom.

Sui Sui clung tightly to the belly of an adult emperor penguin, raised her head, and looked at it with eyes full of laughter. She affectionately patted the penguin's big belly.

"Chirp chirp chirp." Dad, Mom, I'm hungry.

The two emperor penguins looked at each other, seemingly a little confused.

—Do you recognize this cub?

—How could that be? I only know our Xiao Xi.

—But how did this cub come to believe that we are its father and mother?

—I don't know either. I've never seen this cub before, and I've never heard her voice.

—You really don't know me?

—Really, very really.

After their brief exchange, the two emperor penguins both looked down and met Sui Sui's bright, sparkling eyes. Then... then neither of them knew what to say.

They can both swear that they only have one child, Little West, and although Emperor Penguins are known for their promiscuity, they are at least loyal when they have a partner and would never cheat on their partner.

In a normal emperor penguin colony, if this happened, they wouldn't start hitting the child; they would simply walk away and ignore it completely.

However, under the influence of Xu Qiaoqiao and Jun Qi, these emperor penguins have unknowingly had many of their views changed. Now, when faced with this situation, they should explain things clearly and politely, unless it is something that cannot be explained at all and a fight is necessary.

"Chirp chirp?"

Seeing that the two emperor penguins hadn't moved for a while, Sui Sui tilted her head in confusion, looking at the emperor penguin on the left and then at the emperor penguin on the right; they looked exactly the same.

He just heard their voices too; they sounded a lot like his parents.

"Chirp chirp." Sui Sui chirped again, feeling a little uneasy. What was wrong? At this moment, her mother should be rubbing her cheeks, then holding her in her arms, saying things like, "Baby, I missed you so much." Why wasn't she doing that now?

Could it be that Sui Sui did something wrong?

But Sui Sui didn't do anything.

Seeing the chick's aggrieved expression, the two adult emperor penguins' eyes quickly welled up with tears, as if they were about to cry. Alarm bells immediately went off in their hearts.

Please don't cry!

Otherwise, it would be terrible if it were seen as bullying the cubs!

Otherwise, it will be difficult for them to find partners again after they separate. Don't cry, don't cry. Look at us, we haven't even found our own babies yet, and we haven't cried.

—What should we do, darling, this little one is about to cry, but we're really not his parents.

—Hmm…let me think about it.
