The emperor penguins paired up quickly.
Emperor penguins who have found mates are very reserved when it comes to courtship. They stand face to face, motionless, gazing at each other, or bending down and touching heads, without making a sound.
Is this some kind of telepathy?
The truth is still unknown, but the scene looks exceptionally harmonious. The young emperor penguin couples who have already set their sights on each other are being affectionate, feeling each other's presence, and feeling a sweet and content feeling in their hearts.
They were communicating with each other, and although it was unclear what method they were using, it was evident that both were very satisfied with each other.
However, in such a warm and beautiful moment, there are several unusual emperor penguins that don't fit the style of the painting at all.
The polar night is like a room with the lights off, where the sun has no electricity.
Although she couldn't see clearly, Xu Qiaoqiao could feel the unfriendly gazes of those single emperor penguins.
Although these gazes were rarely directed at her and Junjun.
Not far away, several single emperor penguins stood. There were too few male emperor penguins in the group, so they could only stand aside and watch the couples being affectionate.
"quack--"
"Gaga gaga~"
"Gah~ Gah gah~"
Several birds cried out and flapped their wings. Seeing this scene made me unhappy, and I had an urge to fight.
Waaaaah~ Only a few of them don't have boyfriends.
They also want a partner, and then they can have an egg, and then they'll have cute little babies.
But for them, they were already the ones who lost the battle for males, meaning that even if they fought, they might not be able to win. Thinking about it this way, they suddenly felt even more upset.
Depend on!
Next year, I must work hard and snatch one up, and find one I like as soon as possible!
After the lone emperor penguins finished howling, they looked at each other, unsure of what to do. Should they just stand there dumbfounded? But seeing the pairs of emperor penguins around them made them feel even more miserable.
"quack."
This phenomenon occurs in almost every emperor penguin colony. Previously, when the emperor penguin parents went out, the caretakers for Xu Qiaoqiao and Jun Qi, the emperor penguin chicks, were these single emperor penguins.
Not only do I not have a partner, but I also have to take care of their children.
This is really going too far...
However, there are quite a few emperor penguin colonies like theirs in Antarctica. Xu Qiaoqiao had wondered why these female emperor penguins didn't go to other emperor penguin colonies to look for them.
Later, when Xu Qiaoqiao occasionally encountered other emperor penguin groups, she understood the problem. By this time, the emperor penguins who were going to find mates had already done so. There were fewer male emperor penguins than female emperor penguins in each group, and the remaining emperor penguins were all female.
So, we're all the same sex. Thinking about it like that makes me want to cry again.
When Xu Qiaoqiao realized what had happened, she couldn't help but sigh a few times. Looking at the emperor penguins standing around in a group, she felt a little embarrassed thinking that they would have to take care of the other emperor penguins' babies in the future.
I reckon she'll need them to help take care of her baby too.
If nothing unexpected happens, Xu Qiaoqiao thought, this world should be a normal life for emperor penguins, and there shouldn't be any surprises, and the children will be the same.
...
This was Xu Qiaoqiao's first time experiencing communal living, especially communal living after becoming independent. It was a very novel experience for both her and Jun Qi.
However, neither of them wanted this kind of experience for the time being.
Especially during this period when reproduction is necessary, Xu Qiaoqiao privately felt that it would be better for everyone to have some privacy.
Coincidentally, Jun Qi also agreed to the suggestion. It was fine to live together normally, but during this special period, it was better to separate a bit, even though it was polar night and everyone could hardly see each other.
Many emperor penguins identify each other by sound.
In fact, even during the daytime, apart from Oka's particularly eye-catching outfit, the other emperor penguins really look exactly the same after they grow up, like a copy and paste. Xu Qiaoqiao had secretly looked at them and compared herself with Jun Qi. If it weren't for that special feeling, she really wouldn't have been able to recognize him.
“Gah—” Everyone, stop for a moment.
Xu Qiaoqiao leaned on Jun Qi's shoulder. Although Emperor Penguin's shoulders were really narrow and sloping, it didn't matter. By leaning on him like this, Xu Qiaoqiao's head would touch Jun Qi's cheek.
Suddenly Jun Qi let out a shout, which surprised everyone, including Xu Qiaoqiao. She didn't understand why Jun Qi would suddenly shout at this time. Although she wasn't sure, what if there were some emperor penguins doing... cough cough... at this moment?
Although Junqi hasn't been in charge of things for the past few years, he has still fought with many animals during that time, so his status in the hearts of the emperor penguins remains very high.
Upon hearing Jun Qi's call, the emperor penguins actually stopped what they were doing and looked towards the source of the sound. In such dim light, they couldn't see Jun Qi's imposing figure clearly.
"quack."
However, everyone spontaneously joined in with a few shouts of agreement.
Hearing the shouts, Xu Qiaoqiao slightly raised her head. In the dim light, she could hardly see Jun Qi's expression or the emotions in his eyes. Coupled with his sudden shouting, Xu Qiaoqiao didn't quite understand.
