After Turning Into An Animal, I Rely On My Face To Make A Living

The three Adélie watched with bruises as Klein took the penguin chick back to the nest. The other party even turned around and glanced at them lightly.

After receiving the signal, Koloff, Victor, and Hoover immediately flapped their flippers and rolled away smoothly.

Seeing the three geese group being beaten up and looking at her with hurt eyes as they ran away, Shi Qiao later realized that she seemed to have sold them.

She who does not know is not guilty.

Who allowed these penguins to gossip even though she didn't understand?

The little penguin looked at the big man and blinked her eyes. One look made the penguin think that the other fellow was an innocent and simple cub. Those who are close to red are red and those who are close to black are black. She has learned some messy things after not seeing each other for a few days.

Klein thought about what the little penguin had learned and still felt that it was an understatement.

He looked at the penguin chick and called out: "I am not a male widow."

The little penguin tilted her head. She didn't understand. She could only copy the words but couldn't understand the meaning.

Only then did Klein realize that raising a cub was not as easy as she thought. Even learning to speak had to be started from scratch.

After solving the problem of food and clothing for a few days, the two penguins, one big and one small, have made their home in the gravel nest on the uphill slope. The three geese group that had been beaten were now explicitly prohibited from getting close to the little baby. They could only watch helplessly as a certain male mother raised the baby in person.

Not to mention, without the little penguin, who is a very serious listener who listens attentively to everything, they now have no energy to chat and talk.

The only thing that can wait is that the next time Klein goes to sea, their penguin bodyguards will continue to work and be re-employed, and they will chat with wages.

The reward for raising the cubs is not enough to feed the three penguins. When the real guardian goose comes back, they will have time, and they still have to go to the sea to eat some small fish and shrimp.

Not knowing that she had become the chosen gossip listener, Shi Qiao watched the three bachelors leave and was led by the boss to forget everything she had learned.

The little penguin repeated the calls she had heard these days to the other party in one breath. The more Klein listened, the darker his face became. He opened his mouth, closed the cub's beak, and forced the mute button.

The road to education still has a long way to go.

Adélie's parents would usually call to their chicks to attract the little penguins to learn their tones. Klein, who had no experience raising cubs, had to imitate those parents and start teaching them with short calls. 

Shi Qiao felt like she was back when she was taught how to speak by the boss on the grassland tree. The history was still surprisingly similar, and the name the boss gave her was exactly the same as in Leopard World.

No matter whether she is on the grassland or the Antarctic, she must first learn cultural lessons at the beginning.

The little penguin's language system, which was tortured by Gossip Adélie, was finally restored bit by bit with the help of the big boss. At least she can speak the most basic penguin language, instead of gibbering nonsense as soon as she opens her mouth.

The big brother brought back more food from one trip to the sea than any other adult Adélie. Even if he divided it among three nannies, he could still feed the little penguin for two or three days.

The penguin chick is a bit thinner than other chicks. It can be seen that it didn't have enough food when it was young.

Every time Klein fed her, he wanted to make her fat in one go.

Within two days, the nearby Adélie parents found out that there was an extra cub in the bachelor penguin colony uphill. The two Adélie parents felt a lot of pressure to take turns raising their babies. They never expected that some penguins would pull their babies by themselves. They heard how he picked up a baby.

Adélie parents could only sit on the sidelines and were not optimistic that the male Adélie could successfully raise a weak chicken.

Before winter comes, they have to feed the penguin chicks a lot of food to ensure that their nutrition can keep up. This means that as the little penguins grow up day by day, the parents will go to sea more and more frequently.

The more food they feed, the less the parents can eat themselves, and they also have to protect their cubs from predators.

It is very difficult for penguins to raise their chicks.

When Shi Qiao was wandering, many second-child families had eliminated their weakest cub and settled into a three-goose family with two adults Adélie raising one cub together.

If she hadn't lost her way, she might have been eliminated by now.

Unlike now, she can still study cultural classes under the supervision of her boss.

After experiencing not-so-good cruel competition, it is much easier to live with a big boss now. There is no need to chase each other for food. The benefits of being an only child are reflected.

It means that from time to time she has to separate from the other party for a few days, waiting for the other party to return from the sea.

That's the bad thing about being a cub. She can't go hunting and foraging with the other person, so she still has to stay in the settlement and guard their home.

Based on the lessons learned last time, before Klein went to sea this time, he explicitly prohibited the three penguins from continuing to speak nonsense words to the penguin chicks.

Even if they want to scream, they can't let the other party hear them.

This really stifled the three talkative Adélie.

Fortunately, the little penguin wasn't really a little fool. After Klein left, Shi Qiao curiously asked the three Adélie, who looked like they were constipated, what did "the male widow" mentioned last time meant?

The three Adélie: "..."

Some cubs really don't want to pick up the pot.

Victor glanced at Koloff and Hoover beside him and winked wildly at the other two penguins. What should he do? Tell her or leave her alone. Even if they explain it to the young penguin, the other party may not be able to understand. However, it is rare for a little penguin to be willing to take the initiative to chat with them. If they don't say anything, she will probably panic.

The three Adélie, who originally planned to play the role of saw-beaked gourds, couldn't hold it in under the little penguin's thirsty eyes: "We told you, don't tell Klein that it was us."

Shi Qiao listened half-heartedly and only understood half of the sentence "Don't tell Klein." She thought about it for a while, but her curiosity still prevailed over her principle of having no reservations about the boss, and she nodded towards the three Adélie.

After receiving the assurance from the penguin chick and looking into the other person's clear and translucent eyes, it would be difficult for any penguin to choose not to believe the other person.

Victor, who had been holding back for a long time, spoke first: "A male widow is a male penguin who has lost his wife."

"The female either didn't want him anymore, or she died in the sea, otherwise how could he raise her own cubs?" Koloff added.

"Klein didn't live here with everyone from the beginning. He came down from below halfway. Maybe someone had already hatched his eggs before."

Hoover flapped his flippers and screamed, his eyes full of excitement about gossip.

"That's right, it's too much to join our golden bachelor alliance even if you have children!"

Shi Qiao even guessed and understood part of it, and was speechless for a moment.

That is to say, is there a possibility that she was not hatched by the boss at all, and there is no blood relationship between them at all?

After figuring out the meaning of the male widow's cry, she recalled the last time she yelled at the big boss, and the little penguin almost dug out the big penguin castle with its feet.

She actually called a boss, a man, a widow, wasn't she just cursing herself?

This was such a large-scale embarrassing scene. No wonder the other party's face was so dark at that time, and he immediately took care of the three penguins.

Now that she think about it, the beating was too light.

Shi Qiao decided to clear her name and not let these Adélie continue to make up weird identities.

The three Adélie on the opposite side were still spitting. The little penguin couldn't listen anymore. She stretched her head hard and screamed a few times at the lively gossip group.

"Klein, not, Dad!"

After hearing her cry, the three Adélie penguins looked even more surprised.

Then wouldn't Klein be taken advantage of?

If they think about it carefully, it is very possible that the other party has a crush on a certain female and cannot get it. He watched the girl find her favorite penguin and form a mate. However, the real Adélie parents did not want to take care of the baby, so they threw the baby out. As a result, the other party accidentally picked it up and thought it looked very similar to the female he had a crush on.

When Shi Qiao saw the expressions of the three penguins becoming more excited, she knew that their brain circuits must have strayed to outer space.

She had struggled to learn to speak, and she couldn't explain it clearly even if she wanted to. She couldn't get a word in front of a bunch of fast-talking gossip penguins, so she could only close her mouth and let them think about it as they pleased.

She originally asked these three penguins questions just to understand the meaning of some of their calls, but unexpectedly they started talking again.

The Adélie Penguin is indeed a penguin with no integrity in the penguin world. They can pull off any bloody eight o'clock plot and their imagination is bigger than that of humans.

After all, a male who didn't like to hang out with other penguins suddenly started wanting to raise cubs, and no one believed the reason was that simple.

With Klein's temper, how could he just randomly pick up a cub and decide to keep it with him and raise it himself?

In fact, the reason is that simple, but no penguin believed it.

Shi Qiao was forced to listen to them immersedly in making up stories, and her biggest wish every day was for Klein to come back quickly to rescue her.

Gossip can't save Adélie!

The male Adélie on the side had enough of chatting. He thought of something and said to the little penguin: "When Klein comes back, tell him that I am the one who takes the best care of you. Then maybe Klein will share more food."

"If you want to say it, you have to say that it's me who treats you well."

"Obviously I am the one who treats her best!"

They began to say something she couldn't understand again, and Shi Qiao silently moved to the side, farther away from these strange penguins that started to fight among themselves when they screamed.

There is no harm without comparison. Compared with these penguins, it is normal for them to be just a little bad-tempered.

Shi Qiao looked forward to the boss's early return as before.

This trip to sea took less time than the last time. It was probably because he encountered schools of fish and krill before he swam very far. It only took Klein two days to return to the colony in the morning.

He swims faster than other penguins and runs faster on land than other penguins. If there wasn't a little penguin waiting in the nest, he would have stayed in the sea for a few more days.

Penguins' affection for the ocean is no less than that of leopards' dependence on grasslands. To overcome the attraction of the beautiful scenery in the ocean to penguins, the baby at home is more useful.

In such a short period of time after picking up the cub, the other person's status in his heart has been greatly improved.

It is no longer as simple as raising it casually as originally thought.

Klein saw his little penguin with keen eyes as he approached the settlement. Seeing the other person's eyes light up instantly, he felt that his mood also improved a little.

The penguin chick ran over to welcome him. The Adélie, who had returned from the sea, also looked down at the enthusiastic little cub and was kicked away by Klein who thought they were blocking the way.

Facing the angry looks of other Adélie parents, a certain bully didn't feel guilty at all.

What are you looking at? Will your cub come to greet you?

Other Adélie: "..."

What's there to show off?!

When Shi Qiao saw Klein, she nuzzled him with her head and smelled the fresh sea water on him. She felt that the torture she had suffered in the past two days had been cured.

It is indeed an unprecedented experience to have a little penguin waiting to rub against him every time he comes home. Compared with those little penguins that chase their parents and only care about feeding them, this one is obviously much cuter.

The big bully Adélie, who had been pushing and shoving his fellow penguin just now, took the little penguin so that he could rub her head. He also checked to see if his little penguin was intact.

Some of the penguin nannies are doing a pretty good job, and the little penguin seems to be in good spirits.

It just makes her more clingy to himself.

Little did he know that his role as a widowed father had evolved into a big enemy in the past two days. After returning this time, the three-goose group looked at him in a way that was obviously worse than before.

However, Klein didn't care very much. He turned around and fed the food in the crop to the other party first, and then it was the turn of the other three Adélie.

Seeing this, the three penguins remembered the inconclusive argument they had just had in front of the little penguin and rushed forward to take credit.

"Thea said that I was the best penguin to her, and she also said that she would give me all the food when you come back."

"Nonsense, she was obviously talking about me."

"It's not the two of them, she told me alone!"

"Then let's ask Thea directly who she wants to get food."

Some penguins had the nerve to tell all the lies just to stutter. Before Shi Qiao could understand, three penguins surrounded her. Each of them stretched their head in front of her flippers as if asking her to make a choice. 

The little penguin understood the look of the three penguins asking for praise, looked left and right, and finally raised his flipper and pointed at Victor, the three-geese group.

The reason for choosing the other party is simple. This Adélie is the less talkative one among them.

Seeing that the penguin chick really pointed at him, Victor became the penguin bodyguard with the highest salary this time, and he looked at the other two penguins with a sense of triumph.

The other party happily ate the free food. He felt that the part-time job of this nanny was not too easy. He didn't have to go to the sea for a long journey. He could just stay in the colony and talk to the little penguin and help chase away the giant skuas so that he could have food.

Victor smacked his lips before he was nabbed by Klein on his neck, and a few smooth black hairs were pulled off.

The other party was stunned. He opened his mouth and shouted angrily: "Why should you hit me?"

Klein glanced at the penguin chick watching nearby: "Because you are all talking nonsense, and she doesn't know how to speak such complicated words yet."

Victor: "..."

He's so careless.

Although she didn't know what these penguins were talking about, Shi Qiao felt slighted when she saw the look in Klein's eyes.

The little penguin didn't learn much about the culture class, but she knew the big boss's expression very well. She was not happy and tweeted at several adult Adélie: "I am awesome! I understand."

A group of bachelors nodded directly along with the little cub, "OK, OK, OK, OK, you understand."

Afraid that they would suffer another disaster if they stayed here, the Three Goose Group sneaked back to their nest after Klein returned as usual.

When her ears finally calmed down, Shi Qiao led her boss to show him the gravel nest she had built with gravel again.

Tiny Penguin is a little penguin who can only work. Even if she is idle at home, she always finds something to do.

The stones in the gravel nest are valuable treasures for Adélie penguins, equivalent to human savings. However, after summer, the ice and snow on the ground melt and expose the earth. These stones are not as precious as in winter and can be used as toys by cubs.

Shi Qiao also raised the edge of the stone nest, leaving a door in the middle. It was much more refined than the previous haphazard paving.

When Klein saw the other person raise her head, he knew that the little penguin was asking for praise, so he raised his flippers and patted the other person's little head.

This kind of nest seems to have a more "home" feel. The male Adélie, who is going to and from the sea, lies in it to rest, and a certain cub obediently comes over and cuddles together.

The summer sea breeze has lost its power and is still mixed with a salty, wet, and refreshing smell. The noisy penguins calling around are blocked outside the stone nest.

Two penguins, one big and one small, take a nap next to each other.

Shi Qiao was woken up by a loud noise. Behind Klein, more Adélie penguins have just returned to the colony. As soon as the Adélie parents return, they will feed the chicks. The noise comes from the two competing penguin chicks.

Adélie father led the way, followed by two little penguins chasing each other. These procedures were familiar to Shi Qiao until she saw the weaker one being pushed to the ground by the stronger chick.

The little penguin on the ground watched his brothers and sisters get the chance to feed and made a high-pitched cry that sounded hungry.

Shi Qiao looked at the other person as if she saw her old self, turned her face, and buried her head on the back of the penguin beside her.

She doesn't want to see it.

There is no need to go into detail about the cruelty of nature. Whether in the grasslands or Antarctica, she has seen too many little penguins with bad luck who have to leave before they have time to go to the sea.

Realizing that the little penguin was awakened by the sound of other penguins, he spread his flippers to help cover the other penguin's ears.

It has nothing to do with him how the other penguins are doing, as long as he takes good care of his own.

A month has passed in the blink of an eye, and the little penguin chick that was so skinny when first picked up has grown a lot and has grown into a size that is not inferior to other little penguins, and even looks fluffier than other little penguins.

At first, the other single Adélie thought that Klein was her biological father, but later even they had to admit it.

Some penguins do become cuter the longer you raise them.

Shi Qiao felt that after her nutrition had caught up, her physical fitness was also steadily improving, and her eyesight was much better than before. After living here for a long time, she gradually got rid of the problem of face blindness and was able to distinguish these Adélie.

The little penguin's eyes looked brighter and more lively than before, like ink-colored sea water without dust particles. When stared at by these eyes, even the noisy Adélie penguins would unconsciously lower their voices.

The three goose groups murmured privately.

They don't know what Klein's secret is in raising a baby so that he can raise a little idiot who can't understand penguin calls to be like this.

Now Shi Qiao has mastered most of the penguin's calls and is no longer an illiterate little penguin who can't understand but can only talk about it.

Her appetite is much greater than before, and Klein goes to sea more and more frequently.

After the boss went to sea, the only people who could talk to her were the three familiar penguin bodyguards. Although Shi Qiao didn't need to be monitored by so many Adélie at the same time most of the time, she still listened to these penguins' chattering every time.

Victor, Koloff, and Hoover are all very satisfied with the little penguin.

Compared with a certain Adélie bully, Thea is simply an angel.

There was a time when they thought that the other person was Klein's biological cub who was living outside the home, but now they no longer think so. With Klein's bad temper, he couldn't give birth to such a cute baby.

When the real guardian goose came back, the three penguins reluctantly waved goodbye to the little penguin.

Klein fed the krill he brought back to the little penguin. After watching the penguin swallow it, he said without leaving a trace: "When did you get on such good terms with them?"

Looking at the reluctant look just now, those who didn't know thought it was their cub.

Shi Qiao shook her tail warily.

These words gave her an inexplicable smell of sourness.

When he submits a question, she must answer it well.

The little penguin is righteous and unambiguous when talking about her teammates: "Because you came back in the middle of their chat, so they were holding back their gossip before they finished."

This reason was reluctantly accepted by the other party. Shi Qiao was rubbed on the head and heard the other party shout: "Don't keep listening to them."

She nodded quickly.

Even if she listens, she listens with one ear and goes out with the other. She has formed the habit of talking nonsense without wasting time in her brain.

As expected, the little penguin made the goose feel smarter and more sensible when she grew up than when she was a child. Klein is now very glad that he didn't accompany her to find her biological parents.

After this baby grows up visibly to the naked eye, the opportunities for Antarctic skuas to catch her become less and less.

It is not as frequent as the previous visits. Occasionally, it is to find some lone and weak novices to attack. Strong little penguins like Shi Qiao are no longer in the scope of consideration, and she is much more confident and bold than before.

When she saw the Antarctic skuas circling overhead, she didn't hide behind the boss but just stared at them openly.

The Antarctic skuas glanced at each other and then looked away. Regardless of whether the other party was strong or not, just looking at the adult male penguin next to her, they couldn't afford to offend her.

Watching the other party heading downhill, Shi Qiao stretched her neck. Sure enough, in just a few minutes, a little penguin whose parents were all out at sea and left alone at home became the big bird's ration today.

In the previous world, she hunted other animals by herself, but now she has to watch one after another of her kind become prey.

Shi Qiao looked away, and inadvertently caught sight of another little penguin who, like her, was stretching its neck to look at the place where the accident happened.

That little penguin was her brother, Eric, who had been in the same nest with her.

Shi Qiao's eyes twitched as she moved her eyes to the other person's side, and saw the old mother beside him again.

She couldn't find it no matter how hard she looked for it before, but now she recognized it at a glance. She glanced at the unknown boss next to her, and for the first time, she hated her good eyesight.

Without the competition from the other cub, Eric has grown very strong, but if he were to compete with her now, he might not be as sure of victory as before.

Shi Qiao stared at that location for a long time, and the more she looked, the more certain she became that it was the gravel nest where she had stayed.

She didn't know her biological father very well, but her old mother, whom she had been with for several days, was much easier to recognize.

Shi Qiao quietly withdrew her gaze and shrank herself into a penguin ball.

The nest she wanted to find back when she first ran away was over there, but now she wanted to pretend she didn't see anything.

After thinking about it, she needs more and more food. Klein's pressure is much greater than before, and he has shown signs of losing weight after recently returning from overseas. Returning to her old mother now can reduce the pressure on her boss. It would be a good idea to come back to find her when she grows up.

After all, from Klein's point of view, he had no obligation to help Adélie, a stranger, take care of the cubs for free.

Shi Qiao became entangled.

The cubs will be able to grow up and go to sea before winter comes. Even if she only has to be separated from her big brother for an autumn, she will find it difficult.

The little penguin started to be in a dilemma and rolled around in the nest twice in annoyance. The male penguin next to her had long been familiar with the various behaviors of the little penguin, and he could tell what the other one was worried about just by looking at her.

Klein poked the little penguin in the head with his beak, and the penguin suddenly stood up.

Shi Qiao simply became cruel and told the truth about seeing her old mother and brother, and let the boss choose for her.

If the other party is willing to let her go back to relieve his burden for a quarter, then she will go back

Just as the little penguin was about to lower her head and wait for the other party's answer, the male Adélie beside her quickly answered: "You are not allowed to leave."

He had worked so hard to get it to this point, how could he give her back again?

Shi Qiao raised her head in surprise. It was great. Although she was no longer worried about being eliminated by Eric and still had the strength to eliminate him, she still didn't want to be separated from the boss.

The other party slapped her head mercilessly with his mouth.

A certain cub doesn't recognize her parents for a long time and doesn't recognize them until later. But if she recognizes them at this time, it's too late even if she wants to go back.

Although he knows that sending the little penguin home may be the so-called "right choice", he cannot always make the right choice.

Occasionally, he has to make some choices that he likes.

Shi Qiao looked at the boss who blocked her from looking at her old mother with his body, and still asked why he didn't let her go back even though she knew it.

Klein's answer to this question was: "This will allow the other little penguin to survive."

Shi Qiao blinked.

A certain penguin is just tough-talking and his excuses are so lame that she reluctantly tries not to expose him.
