For Xu Qiaoqiao, the life of the emperor penguins seemed to be stuck in a cycle. Fortunately, she would find some games to play and also get the emperor penguins to play with her.

Even if the rules of the game were explained in the simplest terms, the emperor penguins still couldn't understand them. So, after explaining them five times, Xu Qiaoqiao temporarily gave up on the idea and decided to demonstrate it through actions instead.

For example, in the game of "Eagle Catches Chicks," everyone played very enthusiastically, but it was a bit of a waste for the "eagle." Emperor penguins are not exactly docile, but they don't like to be taken advantage of either.

This is especially evident in gaming.

When the "eagle" catches too many chicks, the "mother chick" gets angry and her temper flares up. She doesn't know whether to blame herself for being incompetent or the other side for being too powerful; in any case, she just can't stand it.

A sharp cry rang out from the "mother hen's" mouth, a sign that she was beginning to get angry.

Xu Qiaoqiao looked over there and couldn't help but laugh when the emperor penguin, who was playing the role of the mother chick, started to get angry halfway through the game. The penguin then lay down on Jun Qi next to her, its head gently rubbing against the feathers on his chest.

"Gagaga." This is really interesting, don't you think, Junjun?

Jun Qi sat down next to Xu Qiaoqiao, or rather, squatted down, but the posture looked more like sitting. Sensing Xu Qiaoqiao's movement, Jun Qi naturally reached out and hugged her, letting out a "ga-ga" in response to Xu Qiaoqiao's words.

The warm sunlight shone on my skin, and the wind never stopped for a moment, although it was clear that the wind speed was much lower than in the previous days, and the wind swirled up a thick fog.

The "mother chick" had been holding back for a long time and had already started fighting. She had gone through so much trouble to protect her "little chicks," but they had been captured so easily by the other side. And they had only been playing for a short time. It would be strange if she wasn't angry.

However, this is also related to some of the habits of emperor penguins. They look blank, even though they know it's a game, but sometimes they just can't change some subconscious actions.

When the "eagle" attacks, everyone instinctively detaches their little wings from the emperor penguin's belly and scatters in all directions. Each round of this game only takes three seconds to start and end.

It's faster than you can imagine.

The emperor penguin playing the role of the chick mother is a female, currently in the period of polar day, and she happens to be a very lucky emperor penguin with a mate. Originally, it was supposed to be a fight between the two, but now the situation is clearly not like that.

Seeing everyone getting along so well, Xu Qiaoqiao happily squinted her eyes. She slightly raised her face towards the sun. Although the temperature was still so cold in Antarctica, the sunlight was still so intense that it was hard to look directly at it.

Xu Qiaoqiao looked for only five seconds before turning her gaze away, closing her eyes, burying her head in Jun Qi's arms, and yawning. She had been looking for a while and needed to rest.

For emperor penguins in the wild, dangers are countless. Living in harsh environments is extremely difficult. On land, they face attacks from raptors like skuas, and in the sea, they also face attacks from leopard seals.

In addition to the frigid weather, Xu Qiaoqiao and her group of emperor penguins have lost companions before, and not all of their eggs will hatch. Even if they do hatch, the chances of raising them to adulthood are not very high.

We need to be extremely careful.

These things don't need to be explained by Xu Qiaoqiao. Emperor penguins are much more emotional when it comes to their chicks. However, even when they are emotional, their love of joining in the fun and showing off remains unchanged.

The sadness lasts only a moment; the emotion comes quickly and goes quickly. After it's over, you should just go back to living your life as usual.

The emperor penguin couples who lost their babies were naturally not happy either. Xu Qiaoqiao and Jun Qi did not stop them from doing so; it was their nature, and they had already changed a lot.

Time flies, and as it slips away quietly, it takes away some gifts and precious lives.

In the year that the emperor penguins turned thirteen, a very strange fellow penguin joined the group. It was one that had never been seen before, and it could not make any sounds. It looked dull and stupid, and its movements were different from the others.

Happy looked at the strange emperor penguin, tilted his head, covered his mouth with one arm, and looked at his strange companion with obvious surprise.

In front of him lay a plump emperor penguin, its belly on the ground, its two small wings spread out, and its head held high. This posture was very familiar to emperor penguins, but they didn't always adopt this posture when interacting with each other.

Because of the arrival of this strange companion, the emperor penguins were clearly very interested in him, and they all gathered around him, looking at this strange fellow.

"Gaga?" What's your name?

Happy asked a question.

"..."

He was met with silence.

"Gah—?" Talk to us!

Happy asked again, but the guy still didn't answer, pouting and clearly not very happy. In all his years of living, only the boss and Sister Qiaoqiao dared to act like this. Who does this guy think he is!

Oka looked at this strange fellow, then turned to look at Happy, winking playfully. Seeing yet another guy who had been tricked, he was clearly much happier.
