The sea breeze is still so gentle, gently brushing against the ears, with a moist and salty taste, and a bit cool.
This is a good rest time, but for the emperor penguins, this is a good time to have fun. You can rest anytime. Just bend your head and close your eyes, and you will soon fall asleep.
.
Time is ticking forward. After living in the wild for a long time, the concept of time becomes more and more blurred. I can only know a rough idea and then make wild guesses on my own.
The most obvious way to distinguish it is when polar night and polar day alternate. On this day, Xu Qiaoqiao can still accurately tell the day of the month and the year it is in, which is a bit reluctant.
Therefore, when the sun came again, Xu Qiaoqiao suddenly realized one thing, that is, from now on, she and Junjun are already five-year-old emperor penguins. In other words, emperor penguins reach sexual maturity around the age of five.
Mature.
Maybe male emperor penguins stay at night for many months, but there is always not much difference in time. Thinking of this, Xu Qiaoqiao staggered to the beach and looked at the reflection on the sea. She is now different from when she was just born.
dramatic change.
The little emperor penguin has grown up, and the down on his body has disappeared. Instead, he is wearing a black and white dress, which is elegant, serious and noble.
The arrival of extreme daylight made the emperor penguins cheer for a few more seconds. Even though they were used to such an environment, when the light came, they still couldn't stop their excitement and wanted to cheer loudly and celebrate.
this matter.
The only way to celebrate is to jump into the sea and play hard. If you encounter a seal or a killer whale during this period, just run away.
Then change the sea area and continue playing. In short, it will not affect this good mood.
Jun Qi looked at Xu Qiaoqiao looking in the mirror, walked over and touched her: "Qiaoqiao, what are you doing?"
Are you tired or something?
After this idea came up, he stopped it himself. If he was tired, why would he look in the mirror? It must be wrong?
Or is there something dirty on Qiaoqiao's face?
This was the first time Jun Qi saw Xu Qiaoqiao looking in the mirror. The sea water here was very clear, the deep blue sea surface was calm and there was no ripple at all.
"Quack." None of that.
Xu Qiaoqiao didn't wait for Jun Qi to ask a few more questions, and she rejected the ideas in Jun Qi's head. Although he hadn't said what those ideas were, they had a certain understanding of each other after being together for such a long time.
When Jun Qi asked a question and there was no sound.
Xu Qiaoqiao knew that this guy was just imagining things.
Jun Qi blinked: "What is that?"
Xu Qiaoqiao stood up, rolled up the front of his right arm, like a small microphone, put it in front of his mouth, and said a few words.
Junjun, do you know? We are five years old now.
Five years old?
oh oh.
Then pinch?
Jun Qi listened to Xu Qiaoqiao's words, he is five years old, what happened to him at five years old?
Jun Qi still didn't pay much attention to time, so when Xu Qiaoqiao said these words, he couldn't catch up.
Xu Qiaoqiao continued to look serious and said a few words: We are five years old, which means that we are already adult emperor penguins, you know?
When you become an adult, you can do many things.
For example, let you hatch a baby.
Xu Qiaoqiao did not dare to say this. She was afraid that if she did, Junjun would not have the chance to have a baby with her in this world.
After listening to Xu Qiaoqiao's words, Jun Qi subconsciously looked at Xu Qiaoqiao. The black and white dress, the yellow feathers under the neck, spread upward to the back of the ears. The further down, the lighter the color became, and finally slowly merged with the white.
One body.
The two flippers are also dark in color, and paired with this tuxedo, the color boundary is very conspicuous.
This appearance was indeed similar to the adult emperor penguins he saw when he first opened his eyes. Thinking of this, Jun Qi stretched his neck forward and felt the breath of Xu Qiaoqiao for a few seconds.
"Quack, quack, quack." As an adult, I understand.
When this year's polar day passed, autumn arrived, and polar night began to descend on the earth, the emperor penguins seemed to feel something. They knew that this year's polar night was different from the usual polar night. They had grown up and it was time to be their fathers.
The same thing moms do.
But before that, they have to temporarily change their gathering place, which can also be said to be migrating, and move inland.
We all walked very hard under the severe cold snowstorm, and finally found a very suitable place. It was a windshield, relatively open, and very suitable for courtship and breeding.
In the emperor penguin group, since there are fewer male emperor penguins than female emperor penguins, everyone is relatively calm and reserved. The female emperor penguins are quite active and slap each other. At this time, it is time to compete for the male goose.
Among them, the most popular one is not Jun Qi, but Hapi.
That's right, it's Happy.
Jun Qi's behavior of always fighting in the past makes these emperor penguins fear and respect him. Even if there are female emperor penguins who are attracted to him, they are really afraid of being beaten if they fail to court a mate.
Then this is too embarrassing and embarrassing.
Therefore, there was not a single female emperor penguin surrounding Jun Qi, except for Xu Qiaoqiao. There might be a few who were unwilling to give up, but they only dared to secretly watch from a short distance away.
But Happy is different, he is the monitor after all!
He has been managing the emperor penguin colony for Jun Qi. He has a gentle and calm personality. The little penguin who eavesdropped has grown up a lot. The black feathers are shiny and the feathers on the abdomen are also very soft. He is about one meter tall.
, is also a very popular male penguin.
Seeing the emperor penguins in front of him, especially the female emperor penguins, dancing in front of the male emperor penguins to attract their attention, and secretly squeezing their love rivals, only at this time did Xu Qiaoqiao feel that this was a group with a bad character.
The little bad guy.
Jun Qi was not that interested in this scene. He yawned, leaned against Xu Qiaoqiao, hugged one of her arms, rubbed her affectionately a few times, hummed a few times, and then fell asleep.
The two of them were probably the first couple to be paired up.
When they were young, they were ignorant and did not understand love. So at that time, when the emperor penguins saw that Xu Qiaoqiao and Jun Qi had such a good relationship, they thought it was just a good relationship.
However, after they grew up, they saw things in a new direction, and everyone was shocked to realize that maybe this was not just a good relationship, but because there was love between the two of them.
