When the sun's rays shone on the ice once again, the emperor penguins cheered and ran around, some even gliding on the ice in their excitement.
They were overjoyed, and this mood slightly infected Xu Qiaoqiao and Jun Qi, but they wouldn't go so far as to join in the emperor penguins' antics.
As the view gradually clears, from dark to bright, witnessing the sky change with our own eyes is a truly wonderful experience.
In the days that followed, the emperor penguins all grew up well, and Jun Qi, the leader, gradually became a figurehead leader. He left the tasks to the few emperor penguins whose names he could only name, and spent his days sticking to his little girlfriend.
Before they reached adulthood, they had encountered emperor penguins from other groups, but during the summer, it was clearly the emperor penguin parents who came out to hunt.
Judging from the timeline, this makes sense. After all, a few months ago was the mating season for emperor penguins. Following this logic, it's currently the time of polar day and polar night. Xu Qiaoqiao thought that this must be after the emperor penguin mothers laid their eggs.
They are growing up happily and carefree, occasionally encountering attacks from seals or killer whales. However, under Jun Qi's tutelage, the emperor penguin brothers are incredibly clever.
The group is united and has a high sense of collective honor, which is a significant change. Compared to other emperor penguin groups, it's quite remarkable that they can help each other out in crucial moments.
Before we knew it, three years had passed. We had spent so much wonderful time together, living such a carefree life.
At this time, Xu Qiaoqiao and Jun Qi were already four years old. And this year, they discovered that the feather area under their necks had gradually turned yellow.
Jun Qi looked down at the small patch of feathers under his neck from time to time, and even patted and rubbed it with his little wings. After looking at it, he realized that the color hadn't faded.
"Huh?"
Upon hearing Jun Qi's call, Xu Qiaoqiao turned her head and saw that he was staring at the feather on her chest, specifically the area under her neck.
"Giggle?" You're still watching?
Xu Qiaoqiao swayed over, looked at Jun Qi's serious expression, hummed for a few seconds, and then patted his little head.
"Gah gah gah." It's nothing, it's not a disease.
Besides, adult emperor penguins naturally have a tuft of yellow feathers under their necks; they were small before, but they'll grow them eventually.
As for their emperor penguin companions, they are quite accepting of this matter. Perhaps in their eyes, whether the feather is white or yellow makes no difference.
They don't think about such things. Nowadays, most emperor penguins have grown to about one meter in size and look like adult emperor penguins. However, the difference is that they can only say "Aba aba".
Jun Qi slowly raised his head and cackled at Xu Qiaoqiao. His voice wasn't loud, but it meant: I just don't understand why this place has turned yellow. I don't think I've ever seen it before.
Xu Qiaoqiao smiled. She knew that emperor penguins would grow yellow feathers when they got older, but she really didn't know how or why they would grow them. After all, would you wonder why you only have one nose?
Xu Qiaoqiao didn't know if others would have these doubts, but she certainly never did. Living a simple, even foolish, life made her much happier.
"quack."
Jun Qi called out, somewhat awkwardly patting the yellow feathers. He looked at the feathers under Xu Qiaoqiao's neck, blinked, took two steps forward, and cawed a few more times. Then, he stretched out his right wing and patted the feathers under Xu Qiaoqiao's neck a few times.
We're all the same, there's no need to worry so much.
Although Junjun in this world has memories, Xu Qiaoqiao still feels that he is so silly. What is wrong with him? Could it be that his aloof and domineering aura was lost when he transmigrated?
Thinking of this, Xu Qiaoqiao looked up at Jun Qi, then blinked a few times, and thought to herself with certainty: It must be true.
The aloof Junjun is now quite goofy.
However, this version of Junjun is much cuter. I wonder what her reaction will be when that aloof Junjun comes back and thinks about the stupid things she did back then.
I can't wait to see it.
The vast ocean harbors many dangers and is fraught with peril. Xu Qiaoqiao felt this when she was a fish, especially when facing orcas, she was genuinely afraid.
The killer whale is one of the natural enemies of both lifetimes. What kind of fate is this?
Xu Qiaoqiao looked at the small gap in the ice not far away. The gap wasn't round, but it was quite large, about three meters in diameter. Just now, a few emperor penguins, not from their group, but clearly adults, were trying to take a shortcut and go into the sea through this ice hole.
As a result, an accident occurred.
Seeing the orca's head partially exposed, its mouth open revealing its fierce fangs, the adult emperor penguins fled in terror, waddling as they ran, their small wings spread wide on their sides.
Xu Qiaoqiao opened her mouth, but in the end, she didn't make a sound.
The orca's mouth opens and closes, opens and closes...
It lingered on the ice hole for a few seconds, then dived back into the sea, only to resurface again. After several such attempts, it realized that the food it had just eaten was gone, and left the area with regret.
Such scenes occur quite frequently at this time. Even Xu Qiaoqiao and Jun Qi, their own emperor penguin friends, often encounter similar events, especially after dawn.
On that day, when Xu Qiaoqiao and Jun Qi were preparing to go into the water to fish, they encountered those adult emperor penguins again. Obviously, this batch was much larger than the ones they had seen before, and their bellies were all bulging, indicating that they had eaten quite a lot of fish.
With the food stored up, it was time to head back.
However, only a minority of the emperor penguins had come ashore at this time. They did not leave rashly, but instead waited for their companions.
Looking at the emperor penguins in their black and white coats, their heroic figures in the water, Xu Qiaoqiao couldn't help but think of her own emperor penguin parents. At this time, they were hunting for their chicks who were still in the colony.
I wonder if her parents are among these emperor penguins.
So much time has passed, their presence has long been forgotten, and I can't even remember what their voices sounded like.
If I hadn't remembered that I had parents, I probably would have forgotten about it, just like my emperor penguin friends.
"Gah." Thinking of this, Xu Qiaoqiao somewhat awkwardly flapped her little wings and patted Jun Qi's shoulder, indicating that she was hungry and needed to eat quickly.
