After I succeeded in acting cute as an emperor penguin

"You, wait." Di Que looked at He Ci's trembling with fright, a little helpless and funny, "First press... the feathers under the ice over there."

The things of their clan cannot fall to other creatures.

Heci, who was trying to be coquettish and not leave the pouch, quickly ran to the crushed ice with his feathers tightly in his mouth, pressed them down with his wings and claws, then turned his head and dawdled to Di Que to admit his mistake in a low voice.

"I'm sorry, I will definitely be more careful in the future..."

In fact, Di Que was not angry, he usually trimmed the unsightly parts, just lost two feathers, and it would grow back.

But this did not prevent Di Que from enjoying He Ci's intimacy. Seeing the little guy's uneasy look, he lowered his head and lightly pecked the little fluff on the top of He Ci's head, "Okay, it's evened out."

He Ci shrank his neck when Di Que lowered his head, but he didn't feel anything, he had to raise his head and looked at Di Que in surprise.

It was the first time that Di Que was so cute by the cub, he looked up and down He Ci.

Well, thin and small, he should be able to hold it with one hand, and his vitality is also very tenacious. It is definitely a promising seedling, and it is not a white raise.

He is obedient and sensible, he can do whatever he is asked to do, and raising him is not troublesome at all, but rather interesting.

This is Di Que's true feelings.

"It's all right, did you sleep well?" Di Que fiddled with the fluff on Heci's body.

"Eh? Me?" He Ci was taken aback for a moment, then straightened up happily, "I slept well! Thank you brother!"

"En." Di Que looked at him seriously, "Go out with me for a walk, and then come back to sleep, you are too small, you need to exercise more."

Di Que didn't realize that his behavior was very different from normal penguins.

But Crane Ci is still completely human thinking here, and he has never been in contact with other penguins.So, the two of them happily reached a consensus.

"Okay!" He Ci happily walked to the edge of the ice and snow, and was about to flip out as before, but was picked up by the back of the neck again by Di Que.

Heci froze in fright, flapping his little wings non-stop, "Chirp, chirp, chirp!"

Now the first impression of He Ci in the eyes of Di Que has been finalized, so no matter what he does Di Que is very interesting.

But looking at He Ci seemed to be really frightened, Di Que stopped teasing him, and put He Ci on the ground safely, and then moved his body, enjoying the "rare" leisure time.

He Ci, who was out of the protection of Emperor Que, shivered unavoidably, he still felt cold.But as long as he was by Di Que's side, he felt that he had a backing, and he was not so intolerable to the cold.

Di Que walked in front, not to block the wind, but to lead the way, one big and one small staggered and began to walk.

The wind seems to be getting stronger today, and sometimes it will roll up the fine snow on the ground, drawing a beautiful arc.

He Ci, who was strenuously stepping on the footsteps of Emperor Que, suddenly thought of something and asked, "Brother, I don't know your name yet?"

"...you have a name?" Di Que looked back at him slightly in surprise.

"Yes!" He Ci, who got up to talk, was very happy, shaking the fluff covered with snowflakes, "My name is He Ci!"

Hearing this, Di Que stopped in his tracks and carefully observed He Ci.

It just so happened that a gust of cold wind blew by, and Heci's whole body shivered. He keenly found that the atmosphere was not quite right, and he was a little puzzled. He had a name...is it strange?

Di Que felt very strange, could it be that the parents of this little guy belonged to the clan, but the clan had no reason not to ask him for help when encountering difficulties.

"Di Que." Di Que couldn't figure out why, so he stopped being entangled, and signaled He Ci to walk by his side, so that it would be easier to chat, "You can call me that when no one is around."

The subtext is that outsiders should not be called by their names.

Although Di Que is the patriarch, there are hundreds of rules in the clan, and he has to abide by them on the surface.

"I remember!" Although walking side by side to face the cold wind, He Ci quickly followed up. He may not be able to do anything else, but he has already maxed out the skills of observing words and expressions, so he wisely began to change the subject, "Brother, we Where are you going?"

I don't know if it was He Ci's illusion, but he always felt that Di Que was intentionally deviating from the feeling of the penguins.

So he didn't dare to say much along the way, he could only try his best to follow the other party's pace. Although this made him very tired, he didn't want to cause trouble for the other party.

Di Que knew that he shouldn't let such a small cub go out by himself. If other penguins saw him, he would definitely be nagged.

"Just walk around."

One big and one small walked slowly on this snow-white snow field, even though He Ci felt very tired, he still kept pace with Di Que without saying a word.

The wind blowing across the glacier seemed to be extraordinarily cold. He Ci stabilized his body so as not to be blown down. Although it was cold, he persisted for the past two days. Now there is no reason to become squeamish. It should be because he just came into contact with the warmth and it is too comfortable. illusion.

Di Que wandered around, looked at the group of penguins in the distance, it was still harmonious, and looked at the surrounding environment, it was still stable.

For a while, he couldn't find anything to do, but Di Que was still... a little apprehensive about going back and continuing to stand as a heater for He Ci.

Standing for a day, he was really tired. He was so tired that he didn't want cubs in his life. It's a pity that he was still single, and he was about to raise cubs.

Di Que, who really couldn't find an excuse, was about to go back and honestly be a human body heater, but when he lowered his head, He Ci plunged crookedly into the snow in front of his eyes.

"Little guy? Crane, Crane Ci?" Di Que was frightened by Crane Ci, and quickly got him out of the snow. Now Di Que finally found that Crane Ci was already shivering from the cold, and he couldn't open his eyes. .

He Ci, who was already frozen in the cold, felt the warmth, and unconsciously moved towards Di Que.

Di Que, who was so flustered for the first time, quickly put Heci back into the pouch, and the whole goose stood there completely daring not to move.

Leaving aside that Di Que doesn't know how to walk with cubs at all now, Di Que doesn't dare to touch him in Heci's state.

Di Que was a little ashamed, he shouldn't have let He Ci go by himself, even if he didn't want to stand still, there would be other ways, since he took the initiative to take care of He Ci, he shouldn't avoid these trivial matters.

From time to time, Di Que lowered his head to look at He Ci's condition. After a while, he found that he was much better, so he was relieved, and turned his body in small steps so that he could stand against the wind.

After relaxing, Di Que thought about it again, and suddenly felt something was wrong.

It shouldn't be, didn't this little guy survive the days when he was away from his father?

Di Que carefully observed the surrounding environment, and it really made him discover some places that he hadn't noticed just now.

Young penguins tend to be more sensitive to changes in temperature than adults.It's not that Heci doesn't resist the cold, he thinks it's right to be extra cold, it just gets colder here.

Because the storm is coming.

After a while, He Ci found himself in Di Que's pouch again, and immediately poked his head out nervously.

The movement of He Ci immediately attracted the attention of Di Que, who was watching from a distance, and Di Que lowered his head to meet him directly.

Crane Ci: "I'm sorry..."

Di Que: "Sorry."

Heci stretched his neck, hallucinating! ?

The cool breeze blew by, making the little fluff all over his body tremble.

Heci shook his head, trying to clear himself up a bit: "I... I'm not usually this weak... Really..."

"Well, it's not your problem." Di Que tapped He Ci's small head lightly with his beak, "It's a storm coming."

storm?

He Ci didn't quite understand, so he tilted his head and chirped to express his doubts. His reaction seemed to please Di Que, and the big penguin stuffed him into the pouch again.

"Slow down, I can't walk with the cub, and you will need to walk by yourself in a while, but remember to tell me when you are cold, don't faint again."

Di Que was really embarrassed this time, "I was negligent this time, and I will definitely take good care of you."

"Okay...Okay." He Ci jumped a little in his heart, and retracted the pouch obediently.

One big and one small stopped and went back to the penguin colony. At this time, there were already tiny snowflakes blown by the wind, floating on the ground like clouds.

Heci followed Di Que warmly all over, and his footsteps were light and his mood was relaxed and happy that he had never felt before. Di Que is really a very good person!

But the satisfaction of being cared for by others disappeared with a "bang" after meeting a strange penguin.

Di Que carried Heci forward and showed it to the penguin, "The storm is coming, please help me take care of him first."

He Ci froze, and before the penguin could answer, he panicked and wanted to get into Di Que's pouch.

"Patriarch, it seems that this little guy likes you very much." Xinyue joked in a good mood when she rarely saw Di Que's embarrassed look.

Di Que waved his wings helplessly, gently pushed the crane to resign, and patiently bowed his head and explained to him: "I don't know how to take cubs, it's too dangerous for you to follow me during a storm, and... I also have things to do .”

He Ci knew that his current behavior was capricious, but he was really afraid that Di Que would entrust him to others and never come back.

He was rejected by Di Que once, and he didn't dare to go forward again, so he could only stand there a little at a loss, with his fine fluff rubbing against Di Que's body in a mess.

The half-grown penguin next to Xinyue looked over curiously: "Mother, is this the little guy who recognizes the patriarch as his father?"

"Don't interrupt." Xin Yue lightly pecked the half-sized penguin, then lowered her head and gently rubbed against the penguin.

Xinyue heard that Di Que had adopted a cub, and when she inquired about it, she learned that He Ci had left her parents and lived alone for a few days.

After thinking about it carefully, she could see the specialness of He Ci. Di Que chose to adopt him, so he must have seen his potential. I'll take you to find him."

He Ci knew that he should go to Aunt Penguin in a sensible way, he didn't dare to hesitate, but looked up at Di Que, chirped softly, and then slowly walked to Xin Yue's side.

Seeing Heci's swaying steps, Di Que earnestly begged Xinyue and said, "Thank you for your hard work. I will pick him up as soon as the storm is over. He was just blown by the cold wind. I hope...you can help take care of him."

"I will, don't worry." Xinyue gave birth to a cub this year. She is an experienced mother, and she can barely take care of two children, because he also has an eldest son, Nanyuan.

Xinyue's partner is Di Que's good friend. When the transformation and evolution of various races occurred, they had to cheer up to deal with various difficulties that they had never encountered before.

This year, the seals have already drilled their holes into the breeding area, and Emperor Que had to spare some time to stay here. After all, breeding is the most important mission of their race.

And because Xinyue gave birth to a baby, her partner Nan Yan and Di Que switched shifts, leading other penguin parents back and forth between the breeding ground and the ocean.

The half-grown penguin beside Xinyue was a child she and her partner gave birth to last year. After successful evolution, it was named Nanyuan. It has been with them all the time and has no partner of its own.

Di Que turned around and walked a few steps, turned his head in a strange way, just in time to see He Ci looking at him eagerly, he hesitated for a moment and then walked back.

"Cough, are you... hungry?"

Seeing that he turned his head, Heci immediately shook his little wings and said nervously, "No, I'm not hungry!"

Di Que, who couldn't think of any other excuses for a while, was silent for a while, looked up at Xin Yue's smiling eyes, responded with some embarrassment, and walked away quickly.

He Ci looked at Di Que's back, a little puzzled and a little apprehensive.

I just...should have behaved very well.

The author has something to say:

Di Que: Are you... hungry? 【Keep me, keep me...】

Crane Ci: I'm not hungry! Hurry up and get busy, don't worry about me! I'm super obedient!

Di Que: .........um
