About a month after mating, the emperor penguin mothers safely laid an egg.
By this time, the emperor penguin mothers were already exhausted. In the past month, none of the emperor penguin parents had gone out to hunt; in other words, they had not eaten for a month.
They relied entirely on the food from their last hunt to sustain their energy for movement.
Xu Qiaoqiao looked very dejected. She blinked her tired eyes and instructed Jun Qi to watch the egg carefully before it was laid. As soon as the egg landed, it should be put back into her brood pouch, otherwise the penguin egg on the ice would freeze quickly.
"Caw caw caw!"
When the egg was finally out of her belly, Xu Qiaoqiao quickly called out a few times. She turned to look at Jun Qi, who bent down and used his beak and two small wings to roll the emperor penguin egg into his pouch, which was placed on the back of his foot.
They were quite quick.
Xu Qiaoqiao thought to herself. She blinked as she watched Jun Qi's action. Although she was very hungry, Jun Qi's appearance was even more amusing.
The emperor penguin egg on the back of its foot is really eye-catching. The emperor penguin looks so majestic, but with the egg on it, it inexplicably gives off a thrifty and hardworking vibe.
I really want to take a picture of Junjun like this to commemorate the moment.
After all, such opportunities are rare.
Xu Qiaoqiao's eyes were bright. She slowly turned around to face Jun Qi, took a few steps forward until their round bellies touched, and looked up at Jun Qi, who was also looking at her.
"Giggle." You've worked hard.
Jun Qi raised his arm and patted Xu Qiaoqiao's fluffy little head. Although the texture was different from when she was a cub, it was still smooth and comfortable to touch.
Giving birth can be a dangerous thing at times. Although Qiao Qiao's child in this world is still just an egg, Jun Qi is still very worried.
Especially in my memory, there are several animals from the same world. At that time, the two of them were the same kind of animals and could have offspring, but it was really dangerous. One wrong step and they would step into the gates of hell.
Thinking this, Jun Qi leaned closer and gently nuzzled Xu Qiaoqiao's chin with his beak, his eyes slightly narrowed, and he let out a long sigh.
Although he didn't know when Qiaoqiao's talk of time travel would end, Junqi hoped that it wouldn't be the same kind of time travel.
Even in some worlds, Jojo doesn't experience any pain when giving birth. For example, in the last world, a whale shark gave birth to its calves, and not only did it not hurt, Jojo had a lot of fun.
Thinking of this, a smile flashed in Jun Qi's eyes again. He clumsily rubbed Xu Qiaoqiao's head and called out softly a few times.
Upon hearing Jun Qi's words, Xu Qiaoqiao shook her head slightly, raised one arm, covered the arm that Jun Qi was using to touch her head, rubbed it a few times, and then patted it a few times, her eyes smiling.
"Gaga gaga, gaga." I'm fine, but Junjun, you've worked so hard, watching over me the whole time, and haven't even had a proper meal.
Moreover, for the next two months or so, Junjun still couldn't eat. He had to stay here, incubate his babies, and couldn't leave the settlement.
Thinking about this, Xu Qiaoqiao felt a little unhappy. Although she was also starving, the thought that Junjun wouldn't be able to eat for the next two months made her feel sad.
No, no, we can't let Junjun go hungry. We have to think of a good solution quickly.
Xu Qiaoqiao was thinking about something, so she slowly leaned her upper body over and buried her face in Jun Qi's arms. She had been thinking about so many things, and her physical condition was not very good to begin with, so her mental state was also just so-so.
"Quack quack..." Let's rest for a bit, then we'll go catch fish with those soon-to-be emperor penguin mothers later.
After saying that, Xu Qiaoqiao gently rubbed against Jun Qi's chest a few times, her voice a little muffled: "But you don't have to worry about going hungry, I'll come back early and bring you food."
"I won't go with them."
After saying these words, Xu Qiaoqiao twitched her tail feathers shyly, looking a little embarrassed.
"..." Jun Qi stood there quietly, holding his partner, listening to her words. It was as if he had eaten a whole jar of honey. He felt sweet inside and out.
His Jojo will bring him food now, which is a very wonderful and happy thing.
Jun Qi was very happy. A few seconds later, after Xu Qiaoqiao finished rambling on, he lowered his head and buried his face in Xu Qiaoqiao's pitifully short neck, rubbing against it affectionately several times.
He cackled a few times, expressing his reaction to Xu Qiaoqiao: "Okay, I'll wait for Qiaoqiao's food."
After all, before the Emperor Penguin Egg is born, the male Emperor Penguin would accompany the female Emperor Penguin and fast with her until the Emperor Penguin Egg came into the world, breaking this situation.
The female emperor penguins, having just laid their eggs, have almost exhausted their fat reserves and must return to the sea dozens of kilometers away to feed. Therefore, at this time, Xu Qiaoqiao and Jun Qi must part ways.
When queuing up, Xu Qiaoqiao was always one of the last to go, all because she was being all lovey-dovey with Jun Qi.
The other female emperor penguins in the same situation were also in the same boat. After all, it was their first time dating and they lacked experience, but the young couple was still very sweet.
The wind began to howl, and the sky remained dark, without a trace of light. Walking in such an environment was a difficult task, as one could not see clearly ahead. However, this was already a common occurrence for these emperor penguins.
