Jun Qi was discouraged. Well, it seems he can only take it slowly.
Seeing her father suddenly become negative, Sui Sui blinked, tilted her head, and chirped happily. Then she leaned over and rubbed her head against Jun Qi's face a few times, clinging to him like a penguin.
"Chirp, chirp!"
He hugged his emperor penguin father's head, his mouth never stopping, chirping incessantly, his voice filled with undisguised joy.
The bright sun in the sky was reflected in his dark eyes, shining brilliantly.
Jun Qi sensed his movement, his eyes flickered a few times, and he maintained the bent-over posture. Listening to the little guy's sweet cries, as bright as the early spring sunshine, his mood suddenly improved a little.
Junqi patted the little guy's back, and Sui Sui's chirping suddenly stopped. He slowly stretched out his little wings and, imitating his father's actions, patted his head.
Because it's too small and its little wings are too short, I can't get a picture of Dad's broad back yet, so I can only pat its head.
This amount of force was very small for Jun Qi, almost negligible.
A warm feeling seemed to flow through Jun Qi's heart. He stood there, dazed, lowering his eyes, and just patted Sui Sui's back blankly, not knowing what to do next.
In my memory, there was very little about family affection. Even in the worlds where I was raising cubs, most of the time, it was Qiaoqiao playing with them or being cared for by humans.
Sui Sui was completely oblivious to the complex thoughts in his elderly father's heart. He smiled, his eyes crinkling, in a good mood, his two swaying feet bobbing slightly.
"Chu mi!"
Perhaps Jun Qi himself couldn't stand the strange atmosphere any longer. He finally pulled the little guy off his head and placed him properly on the ground. After a few seconds of silence, Jun Qi patted the little guy's head to comfort him.
"Chirp chirp." Sui Sui made a soft chirping sound.
Jun Qi took Sui Sui back to the gathering place. In just a few minutes, the emperor penguin chicks had already started to huddle together, forming several circles.
He patted Sui Sui's little bottom, gesturing for her to go over and talk to the other emperor penguin chicks.
Sui Sui raised his head, looked at his elderly father, shook his head slightly, and then darted behind him. His resistance was obvious; he didn't want to go up and chat with them.
"Chirp chirp?" the little guy called out weakly.
Jun Qi smiled slightly. "Of course not. If you don't go up there, I'll hit you."
The smile gradually faded.
Sui Sui: "..."
Waaaaah~ I want my mom!
Even if I ask my mother, it won't help; she will support my decision.
When it comes to things related to growing up, Xu Qiaoqiao's attitude becomes particularly firm, something Jun Qi had already noticed, except in certain situations, such as living in a zoo.
There's food and drink there, and they'll even give you toys to play with. As long as you're alive and happy, that's all that matters.
Jun Qi had already noticed this, and he could also tell that Qiao Qiao was very satisfied with life at the zoo. She had food and drink, a place to sleep, and the danger was very low, which was perfect for her retirement. Jun Qi thought to himself.
Under the coercion of her dear old father, Sui Sui finally tried to take a step. She hunched over, just like Xu Qiaoqiao and Jun Qi back then, and looked like a little old lady. The way she ran was a bit comical, but very cute.
"Chirp chirp".
When Sui Sui ran to the outer edge of an Emperor Penguin group, she turned her head uncertainly and looked back at her old father, who was watching her. He stood in the light, seemingly lost in thought.
This kind of father gave Sui Sui some courage. He looked at the bunch of emperor penguin chicks, took a deep breath, and his cheeks immediately puffed up like a pufferfish. He rushed forward and found a gap, squeezing himself in.
Jun Qi: "..."
Never mind, it's good that this stage is completed.
...
When Xu Qiaoqiao and the other emperor penguin mothers returned, the emperor penguin chicks had grown quite a bit. Their large bodies could no longer fit in the pouches. They could walk and had started chirping with their friends.
Xu Qiaoqiao saw two emperor penguins over there. The smaller emperor penguin was stuck to the larger one as if it were glued to its body. He tried to imitate the penguin's actions, pretending to be serious, but he immediately lost his composure after hearing his mother's voice.
"Chirp chirp chirp!"
Sui Sui let out a shout and happily ran towards the emperor penguin that was slowly walking towards her.
*Splat*
The entire penguin was stuck to Xu Qiaoqiao's belly, forming a starfish shape.
After the emperor penguin mothers returned, the noise level at the colony increased again, mostly due to the chicks making noise. During the month they were separated, the chicks missed their mothers very much.
October has passed, and November is just around the corner.
At this time, the emperor penguin chicks should find themselves an emperor penguin nanny.
While Sui Sui was searching for her emperor penguin nanny, Xu Qiaoqiao pulled Jun Qi along slowly behind him, watching her little chick raise its head and look at the single emperor penguins, and thought to herself how adorable it was.
Emperor penguins are at their cutest at this time of year. Their fur is fluffy and grayish, making them look adorable. Combined with their round bodies, they resemble little balls, making you want to pet them.
After Sui Sui found his Emperor Penguin nanny, Xu Qiaoqiao and Jun Qi spent some more time with him. They didn't have much time left together, but Xu Qiaoqiao thought that since she and Jun Qi were different, perhaps these Emperor Penguin chicks could also be different.
She hoped to spend more time with them.
Before the couple went hunting at the beach, Jun Qi finally put the previously shelved plan back on the agenda. He called over Happy, Oka, and a few other emperor penguins whose names he knew, and issued the task.
Within three days, you must teach these emperor penguin chicks how to dig holes, no matter what method you use.
So, in the days leading up to their separation, neither the emperor penguin parents nor the chicks had time to be affectionate and cuddle here. After all, their leader had assigned them a task, and they had to complete it well!
Over the past three days, you can see many emperor penguin chicks bending over, sticking out their butts, and digging holes, just like their parents taught them. At first, it was quite interesting, but after digging for a while, they got bored.
Fortunately, the three days passed quickly.
Emperor penguin parents are leaving their chicks together for the first time, marking the first step for the chicks to become independent.
