Chapter Five Hundred and Thirty Five - Emperor Penguin
The emperor penguins paired up and it was quickly completed.
Those emperor penguins who have found a partner are also very reserved when it comes to love. They stand face to face, motionless, staring at each other, or bending their heads and touching their heads, without making any sound.
what sound.
This is probably telepathy?
We don’t know what the real situation is, but this scene looks extremely harmonious. The young emperor penguins, who have already seen each other in the eyes, are getting intimate in pairs, feeling each other’s breath, and there is a sweetness in their hearts unconsciously.
The taste is very satisfying.
They are communicating with each other. Although they don't know what method they use, it can be seen that both parties are very satisfied with each other.
However, in such a warm and beautiful time, there are several different emperor penguins, which are incompatible with this painting style.
The polar night is like a room with the lights turned off, the sun has no power.
Although he couldn't see it clearly, Xu Qiaoqiao could feel the unfriendly gazes of those single emperor penguins.
Although these eyes were rarely on her and Junjun.
Not far away, there were several single emperor penguins standing. There were too few male emperor penguins in the group, so they could only stand aside and watch these couples making love to each other.
"quack--"
"Quack quack~"
"Gah~gah~"
Several of them screamed and flapped their wings. Seeing this scene, they felt unhappy and had the urge to fight.
Woohoo~ They are the only ones who have no partners.
They also want a partner, and then they can lay eggs and have cute little cubs.
But for them, the fight for maleness is originally about losing. In other words, even if they fight, they may not be able to beat them. Thinking of this, they suddenly feel even more uncomfortable. What should they do?
Depend on!
Next year, we must work hard to grab one and get acquainted with it as soon as possible!
After these single emperor penguins finished howling, they looked at each other and didn't know what to do. They just stood here stupidly. But looking at the pairs of emperor penguins next to them, they felt even more uncomfortable.
"quack."
This phenomenon occurs in almost every emperor penguin colony. When the emperor penguin parents went out, they took Xu Qiaoqiao and Jun Qi, the nannies of the emperor penguin chicks, to these single emperor penguins.
them.
If you don’t have a partner, let’s not talk about it. You have to take care of their children.
This is really too much...
However, there are many emperor penguin colonies like theirs in Antarctica. Xu Qiaoqiao has thought about why these female emperor penguins don't go to other emperor penguin colonies to look for them.
Later, when she occasionally encountered other emperor penguin groups, Xu Qiaoqiao understood this problem. At this time, the emperor penguins had already found a partner. There were not as many male emperor penguins in each group as there were female emperor penguins.
The remaining emperor penguins are also female emperor penguins.
Therefore, everyone is of the same sex. When I think about it, I feel like crying again.
When Xu Qiaoqiao realized what had happened, she couldn't help but sigh a few times. Looking at the emperor penguins standing aside, she felt a little embarrassed when she thought that they would have to take care of other emperor penguins' children in the future.
It is estimated that her baby will also be brought to them by then.
If there were no accidents, this world, Xu Qiaoqiao thought, would be the life of a normal emperor penguin. There would be no accidents, and the same would be true for children.
…
This is the first time Xu Qiaoqiao has experienced this kind of collective life, especially the collective life after independence. It is a very novel experience for both her and Jun Qi.
However, the two of them don't want this kind of experience for the time being.
Especially during this period when reproduction is needed, Xu Qiaoqiao secretly feels that it is better for everyone to have some privacy.
As it happened, Jun Qi also agreed to this proposal. Even if they usually live together, in this special period, it is better to live separately, although it is the polar night and no one can see each other clearly.
Many emperor penguins are identified by their sounds.
In fact, even during the day, except for Oka's particularly eye-catching costume, the other emperor penguins are really the same as copy and paste when they grow up. Xu Qiaoqiao has seen them quietly, comparing herself with them.
Compared with Jun Qi, if it weren't for that special feeling, she really wouldn't be able to recognize him.
"Gah——" Everyone paused.
Xu Qiaoqiao leaned on Jun Qi's shoulder. Although the emperor penguin's shoulders were really narrow and still slipped, it didn't matter. If he leaned like this, Xu Qiaoqiao's head would touch the side of Jun Qi's face.
Suddenly Jun Qi let out a cry, and everyone was a little surprised. Even Xu Qiaoqiao didn't understand. This was the time. What did Jun Jun want to do when he suddenly called out? Although he was not sure, but what if?
At this time, there were emperor penguins who were, ahem...
Although Jun Qi has not been in charge in the past few years, he has fought with many animals during this period, so his status is still very high in the hearts of the emperor penguins.
At this time, hearing the cry of Boss Jun Qi, the emperor penguins really stopped what they were doing and looked towards the source of the sound. In such a dim environment, they could not see Jun Qi clearly.
The boss has a majestic figure.
"quack."
However, everyone unanimously shouted in agreement.
Xu Qiaoqiao raised her head slightly after listening to these cries. In the dim environment, it was difficult for her to see clearly the expression on Jun Qi's face and the emotions in his eyes. In addition, Xu Qiaoqiao didn't quite understand his sudden shouting behavior.
.
The next second, she knew why Jun Qi did this.
Jun Qi had a calm face, opened his mouth, and barked a few words, which means: When you guys do those shameful things later, everyone should stay away from each other, and
There are a few single emperor penguins over there. If they have nothing to do, they should quickly find a place to wash and sleep.
Otherwise, if he starts causing trouble later, don't blame him for beating the penguin.
In the past two years, when their group of emperor penguins had not yet reached adulthood, Jun Qi sometimes secretly took Xu Qiaoqiao out for a walk. Occasionally, he would meet some emperor penguins who were already adults and had already seen
The emperor penguins met each other and were ready to do something embarrassing.
It was just the beginning, but the jealous female emperor penguins nearby came to wreak havoc again.
Although the line of sight ahead was unclear, you could tell just from the sound that it was another battle.
This kind of thing is really troublesome. If they can't solve it between themselves, they will have to come to him. Jun Qi really doesn't like to get angry and fight about this kind of thing, so it's better to be friendly.
Xu Qiaoqiao:......
The emperor penguins who suddenly heard the news:...
What are you doing, what are you doing?
The group of single emperor penguins standing nearby screamed angrily, but it was just a scream. It was impossible to make a decision and start a fight.
Because, I really can’t beat it.
It's better not to humiliate yourself.
After all, one of the reasons why everyone didn't dare to pursue Boss Jun Qi at that time was because they were afraid of being beaten.
"Quack quack..."
This group of single emperor penguins screamed a few words in despair, and slowly walked over according to the route Jun Qi said. This time, the shelter they found was quite spacious.
Jun Qi "expelled" these single emperor penguins to a very narrow corner, and everyone stuck together to form a small circle.
Xu Qiaoqiao:......
Okay, okay, if it continues like this, it will really hurt Goose's heart.
Being single will offend whomever.
As for the emperor penguins who had already found their mates, Jun Qi also began to fiddle with them, always asking not to cling too tightly.
Help, when Xu Qiaoqiao heard Jun Qi say these words, he obviously didn't believe it. Why did he even start to take care of such things?
She is really a kindergarten teacher.
Junjun, you still don’t recognize me.
Xu Qiaoqiao sighed in her heart, but she didn't say it out loud, otherwise she would get a fried hair Junjun.
After finishing these things, Jun Qi turned his head, rubbed Xu Qiaoqiao's forehead, slowly turned around, started to hug Xu Qiaoqiao, and complained to Xu Qiaoqiao in a low voice: "These emperor penguins are really troublesome.
"
Living in a group is really troublesome, so it's better to be a lone ranger.
Jun Qi did not say this sentence, but Xu Qiaoqiao heard the meaning of this sentence from his unfinished tone. Although he was always complaining, Jun Qi still did not abandon these emperor penguins after all.
My little brother, I actually saved them several times.
Xu Qiaoqiao looked in the dark, patted Jun Qi's head, smiled and looked naive, leaned her head over, rubbed the side of Jun Qi's face affectionately, and comforted: "But emperor penguins are animals that rely on the collective to survive.
Ah, it would be nice to have this kind of experience once in a while."
"Okay, okay, be good. When you don't want to do it, just leave it to Happy or Oka."
And when I get older, I guess I won't have this problem anymore.
Jun Qi felt very happy listening to Xu Qiaoqiao's comfort. For the two of them, this polar night was also a special time.
…
Because of Jun Qi's "help", the mating process of the emperor penguins went very smoothly, and the next time was a long wait.
Male emperor penguins need to be around female emperor penguins, waiting for them to lay eggs.
Xu Qiaoqiao touched her plump belly. It seemed that her belly had always been plump since she was born, just like the beer belly of a middle-aged uncle. But now, there is an egg in it?
It feels weird, but after traveling through so many worlds, she has laid eggs, and laying eggs... is not a particularly bad thing.
Jun Qi was standing in front of Xu Qiaoqiao. It was noon at this time. With the faint light, he seemed to see Xu Qiaoqiao's movements clearly. She was touching her belly?
"Quack?" Qiaoqiao, are you thinking about our Zaizai?
In fact, Jun Qi really doesn't like children very much, especially when he has to hatch eggs in this world, because Jun Qi thought of the world of owls. Due to the simple conditions, he also hatched that brat every year by himself.
After thinking about this, Jun Qi fell silent again.
Moreover, this also shows that he will have to be separated from Qiaoqiao for more than two months, or even three months, which is a bit uncomfortable. It should be said that it is even more uncomfortable.
After Xu Qiaoqiao listened to Jun Qi's words, she originally wanted to hear if he had anything else to say. However, after waiting for a few seconds, she found that the other party had become silent, and she could feel that Jun Qi's eyes were on her.
on the belly.
To be precise, it's the Zaizai inside.
Could it be that Junjun has thought of something?
Xu Qiaoqiao stroked Jun Qi's furry head, stretched her neck, and leaned towards him, gently rubbing her beak on his chin. The movement was very gentle. Maybe she knew that there was an egg in her belly. No matter what Xu Qiaoqiao did now,
All very gentle.
"Quack." Junjun, you don't like children?
Listening to Xu Qiaoqiao's straightforward words, Jun Qi fell silent. He didn't know what to say. He really didn't like children very much, but if it was his and Qiaoqiao's child, he could try to like it, even if the time came.
respectively.
However, he still doesn't like children.
Although he and Qiaoqiao's children are very well-behaved and cute, and sometimes a little naughty, they are all very nice. It is easy for people to like such children and have a good impression of them.
It's really hard not to like them.
A few minutes later, Jun Qi nodded hesitantly and gave Xu Qiaoqiao a definite answer: "Yes."
"That's it." Xu Qiaoqiao touched her belly. She took Jun Qi's arm and placed it on her belly. She tilted her head, looked at him with a smile, and asked: "What about this? Do you like this baby?
?"
I don’t know how many worlds I will travel through in the future. Some worlds may be of the same kind. This way I will be luckier and have babies. Babies are very cute creatures. Xu Qiaoqiao likes to play with them very much.
There may be worlds where they are not the same kind, but have a relationship of natural enemies. This is fine, but at the same time, there are disadvantages, because their life spans are destined to be unequal. Sooner or later, one party will have age problems and leave the other party early. At that time, that person
The ones who are left behind are the ones who suffer the most.
Junjun, I don’t know how many more worlds I will go through in this time travel, and I don’t know what animal I will dress as in the next world.
But, I wish I had you.
Babies and everything else are all accidents. If there is one, please love him well. Don't be afraid that you won't be able to get back the feelings you have given. Many things in the world are inherently unequal.
No matter what, it is still my and your baby, and it came into this world with our expectations.
do not be afraid.
Xu Qiaoqiao understood Jun Qi's concerns, but she was open-minded. Now, it was her turn to enlighten this expectant father. He had obviously been a father for several worlds, but in this matter, he still had to deal with a novice.
Same.
Jun Qi touched Xu Qiaoqiao's belly and felt the touch under his arms. After a few seconds, he nodded slightly: "I like it."
