Although it's quite interesting to watch Junjun's performance.
However, when it was Xu Qiaoqiao's turn, things weren't so interesting.
The size difference between the emperor penguin chicks and their fathers was so great that the fathers could easily put the chicks' heads in their mouths. Xu Qiaoqiao felt as if her head was completely enveloped, and she blinked in bewilderment.
It seems like it's her turn now.
Before they learn to be independent, it seems like they always have to be fed this way, fed from their parents' throats.
Xu Qiaoqiao sighed and subconsciously tried to glance at Jun Qi, but her father's beak blocked her view, so she couldn't see him at all and could only make a random call.
A few seconds later, Jun Qi's voice came through.
Xu Qiaoqiao smiled happily, her eyes slightly narrowed, and she felt much more at ease. She started drinking baby milk, hoping to grow up quickly and become independent as soon as possible.
The emperor penguin chicks grow up quite quickly, and for Xu Qiaoqiao and Jun Qi, the first thing they need to learn is the language among emperor penguins.
It's tiring to always be guessing things. Sometimes it's better to just play around with it. After being able to communicate smoothly in the previous few worlds, Xu Qiaoqiao felt that it was better to be able to communicate.
In the early days of the last century, there were no opportunities to learn these things. Now that we have the means, we must strive to learn them.
Xu Qiaoqiao's serious attitude inspired Jun Qi. After replenishing his energy, he kept his eyes fixed on Xu Qiaoqiao and never looked away. He could tell what she was doing just by looking at her movements.
His emperor penguin father felt a little heartbroken when he saw this.
What went wrong? At first, he thought the baby was just interested in the egg, but after observing for the past few days, it's clear that the baby is interested in the little one inside the egg.
The emperor penguin father bent down to look at his baby, his gaze slightly complicated.
A week later, Xu Qiaoqiao and Jun Qi were able to temporarily grasp some of the Emperor Penguin's gestures and language, so communication was quite convenient.
When they hatched, it was August, which was the polar night in Antarctica. But after August, in September, Antarctica experienced the polar day, although the temperature was still very cold.
The temperature even soared to minus forty degrees Celsius.
This is a very difficult situation for the emperor penguin chicks. They cannot leave their father's pouch yet, which makes Jun Qi very distressed. Although his father's pouch is very warm, it makes him feel powerless.
Although the cub is weak, he, who has always been strong, still hopes to become stronger. More importantly, that way he won't be able to stick close to Qiao Qiao so easily.
As darkness faded and bright sunlight arrived, the warm sunshine clearly couldn't dispel the chill; the sun hung in the sky, seemingly just going through the motions.
However, Xu Qiaoqiao was the opposite. She was a lazy person by nature, and the incubator pouch from the penguin dad was really warm and comfortable, making her want to sleep. She curled up there, a tiny little thing, and the difference between the two was really huge, especially considering how low the outside temperature was.
"Chirp chirp chirp!"
Just as Xu Qiaoqiao was squinting, wanting to take another nap, she heard a familiar voice calling out. She quickly turned her head and saw Jun Qi stretching his neck, his head shaking slightly up and down.
"Chirp chirp".
Xu Qiaoqiao also called out, and she quickly patted her father's soft belly, urging him to come over quickly, as she needed to get close to her dear boyfriend for a while.
Over there, Jun Qi was clearly doing the same thing.
The two fathers fell silent, a stark contrast to the noisy penguins beside them. This situation was something they couldn't explain based on their years of life experience.
Xu Qiaoqiao and Jun Qi continued to pat their father's abdomen. The reason they only patted this area was because, given their height, the highest point they could reach was their abdomen.
"Chirp chirp chirp~"
"Chirp chirp!"
A minute later, the two dads started walking in the same direction towards each other. Just like last time, for new dads, putting their babies on their feet and walking around requires a lot of balance.
They stopped when their bellies were almost touching, and upon hearing the excited cries of their two babies below, they were clearly at a loss.
Xu Qiaoqiao smiled as she looked at her boyfriend. This time, they were close enough that she leaned over and kissed the soft, fluffy hair on his neck. It felt so comfortable.
"Chirp chirp." Qiaoqiao, when will we be able to walk on our own?
Jun Qi also bent down and rubbed against Xu Qiaoqiao's back, where some warmth still lingered.
Xu Qiaoqiao nuzzled Jun Qi's beak and chirped a few times: "I don't know the exact time, but I'll probably have to wait until the emperor penguin mother comes back and the emperor penguin father and mother take over."
Jun Qi: When will the emperor penguin mother be back?
Xu Qiaoqiao hummed in agreement, mentally estimating: It will probably take another week. Emperor Penguin Dad's food reserves are almost gone. It'll be soon, Junjun, don't worry.
After she finished speaking, she reached out her arm and touched Jun Qi's pointed beak, as if to comfort him.
Jun Qi blinked, and began to estimate in his mind. If it was as Qiao Qiao said, then it would be soon. Having been in the Arctic before, he knew what the situation was like in the Antarctic. He could only give a rough estimate of the time.
Meanwhile, far away from the emperor penguin chicks, on the thin ice of the beach.
The emperor penguin mothers, whom Jun Qi had been talking about, had spent two months fattening up and hunting, while the emperor penguin fathers stayed at the camp to incubate the eggs, as they had always done. Now, they had to hurry back to feed their chicks.
At the same time, they also need to start taking over shifts with the emperor penguin dads.
Emperor penguin mothers swam swiftly across the sea, their movements incredibly agile and lively against the azure backdrop. Their arms swung rapidly, and after leaping out of the water, they glided on their bellies for a short distance on the snow before slowly standing up.
Emperor penguin mothers have already stored up a bellyful of fish, just waiting to go back and feed their babies.
However, the journey back was obviously very long, and they would need to undertake a long and arduous trek.
These emperor penguin mothers lined up in a row, swaying from side to side as they walked forward in a very orderly fashion.
They encountered some dangers along the way, such as slippery roads and occasional ice breaks. When they encountered seals, the emperor penguin mothers looked around as if anticipating where the danger might be.
The journey back was arduous, but their biggest worry was their baby. If they couldn't get back, the baby would have a very low chance of survival.
