"Gah—"

At this time, the chicks of emperor penguins have unknowingly changed their chirping into quacking like their emperor penguin parents.

biu～～puff puff.

Several splashes rang out as the emperor penguin chicks, too afraid to go into the water, were mercilessly kicked in by their parents.

They had just checked this area of ​​water and found it to be safe, with no immediate danger. So when they kicked the cub into the water, they showed no mercy.

Once they got into the water, they naturally learned to swim.

Once the emperor penguin chicks were in the water, the small area of ​​the sea, which had been empty, was instantly filled with them. Swimming was a very novel experience for them, as they had never been in the sea before.

They resolved the molting issue the day before they reached the sea.

Emperor penguin parents believe they molted themselves, so when their chicks reach this stage, they don't offer help but simply watch quietly or flirt with their partners.

When Sui Sui noticed something was wrong with the downy fur on his body, he turned his head and looked at Xu Qiaoqiao and Jun Qi with his wet eyes, mainly at Qiaoqiao's mother, since this trick only worked on her.

"Chirp chirp".

Sui Sui couldn't help but rub his belly. As he rubbed, he found that some downy hair had come off. He looked at Qiao Qiao's mother with a somewhat aggrieved and confused expression.

Why am I shedding fur, Mom?

Looking at him like this, with his eyes and expression, Xu Qiaoqiao thought he looked like a dejected little dog. She didn't know why an emperor penguin would give her such a feeling.

"Giggle." It's okay, this is normal.

Xu Qiaoqiao comforted Sui Sui with a word, bent down slightly, and rubbed his head.

Didn't you ask before why you don't look like your dad and mom? Once this layer of grayish downy fur on your body falls off, revealing the black and white feathers underneath, you'll know the reason.

Listening to Qiaoqiao's mother's comforting words, Sui Sui tilted her head. Although she still didn't quite understand, she was now calm. Since her mother had said so, she would listen carefully.

Thinking of this, Xu Qiaoqiao couldn't help but laugh as she looked at Sui Sui circling around. Jun Qi turned his head to look at her, and then followed her gaze. She was looking at Sui Sui.

For Sui Sui, swimming is a very novel experience. The sea is different from the land. He can feel a sense of freedom. The seawater around him is very gentle and envelops his body.

The sky was azure, the sun was shining brightly, and it was midsummer, with temperatures much higher than usual. The snowdrifts on the shore were beginning to melt, and many of them, unable to maintain their shape, collapsed with a loud thud.

Several loud bangs were heard.

The emperor penguin chicks were so frightened that they instinctively struggled to get away from the collapsed snowdrift. Gradually, they moved further and further away from the shore, with the first emperor penguin leading the way.

It turned out to be Sui Sui.

Upon seeing this scene, Xu Qiaoqiao's laughter gradually subsided, and a hint of reluctance appeared in her eyes. She turned her head and buried her head in Jun Qi's chest, gently nuzzling him a few times, her eyes becoming slightly moist.

These little bastards can fight, hunt, swim, and protect themselves now; it's time for them to leave them.

Jun Qi understood this principle, as did the other Emperor Penguin couples. This extra month of time together was already a rare treat, and they dared not ask for too much, for the child would eventually grow up.

Leaving before their memories become too vivid might lessen their suffering.

Just like they were back then, although they still feel melancholy when they think back on it now, they don't feel sad or painful. There is only a faint silhouette.

"quack--"

The time had come. Watching the little ones swimming happily in the water, Jun Qi knew it was time for them to leave. This area of ​​the sea was a place they used to come to play, but now it was their turn to leave it to the little ones.

After he yelled, it seemed that Happy received the signal, and his wife also yelled. The emperor penguins knew that time was up and they could no longer stay.

Although I was reluctant to part ways, I had to accept the separation.

This is the last thing the emperor penguin parents will teach their chicks.

The emperor penguins quickly lined up, with Happy leading the way, walking forward with uneven steps, none of them looking back at their chicks.

Several seabirds seemed to fly over from the distant horizon, calling out in a distant and lingering voice.

The emperor penguin chicks playing in the sea were completely unaware of what was happening on the shore.

Jun Qi waited for Xu Qiaoqiao to compose herself. He hugged his girlfriend, lowered his head, and pressed his cheek against her ear, nuzzling her affectionately a few times without making a sound. At this moment, words were inadequate, and he wasn't good at comforting people. Even if it was Qiaoqiao, he wouldn't be able to learn this skill so quickly.

Qiaoqiao likes Suisui. He can tell that the little guy loves to act cute and especially likes to act cute towards Xu Qiaoqiao. Plus, his original appearance also fits Qiaoqiao's preference for fluffy things.

It's normal to be sad, and besides, this is their first child in the world.
