Chapter 52: ◎Antarctic Sweet Girl Adélie (18)◎
After learning the truth, all three penguins fell into a long silence, feeling like clowns in their busy schedules.
Shi Qiao looked at the group of three geese that were as quiet as chickens for a moment, thinking that they were frightened by the big man's name, and they waved their flippers in disgust.
Let's break up.
She knew that her pig teammates were unreliable, and she had to do things like falling in love on her own.
At this time, Klein also came back with another stone in his mouth. When she saw the little penguin gathered together and the three Adélie with strange expressions beside her, he narrowed his eyes keenly at the three geese.
Being stared at coldly, the three penguins quickly stood in a row with low eyebrows.
It's all their fault that they are so stupid that they are still sowing discord behind their backs. They didn't expect that each of these two was more arrogant than the other. Even the little penguin they thought was a simple little penguin is so bold that they even like such a fierce penguin.
Klein put down the stone and asked the little penguin: "What are you guys talking about?"
Shi Qiao gave the three penguins a shut-up look: "Oh nothing much, just chatting about other penguins' gossip."
Sensing the other party's nervousness, the boss, who was familiar with all the moves of his little baby, said without leaving a trace: "Then you can tell me about it."
The little penguin quickly shook her head: "It's a whisper that can only be said between best friends! The three of them are my good brothers. The boss is different, so I can't tell you."
Isn't it convenient to tell him?
That made the goose feel something was wrong even more.
Klein glanced at the three slug penguins who were trying to become invisible. They were so frightened that they quickly moved their flippers. Don't look at them. They really didn't say anything, they just heard something bad!
"Don't worry about it," Shi Qiao changed the subject before she could think of a time to express her feelings, "Boss, hurry up and find the stone. I'll put this back."
Seeing that the Antarctic bully who only listened to the words of the little penguin and the goose actually went back to look for stones, the three geese group left the scene in anger.
Obviously, the other males were still busy moving bricks, but some geese suddenly had the sour smell of love. There is no way they can stay in this shitty place anymore. Klein was busy looking for stones to build a house. Shi Qiao also imitated the penguins in looking for her own stones. Later, those low-quality penguins began to steal from this house and that house. Shi Qiao took advantage of those penguins to do bad things and randomly selected a thief to take back the rocks from the other person's house.
Just as she was about to put it in to form a heart shape with other small stones, her sharp eyes noticed that there was one missing stone.
Okay, a penguin actually had an idea for their nest.
Shi Qiao threw the stone in, then turned around and picked up one from each of the neighboring houses.
They can't find the real thief. These geese are all very suspicious. Let's just put them all into suspects!
With these small stones, there is just enough room for a small heart in the nest.
When Klein came back with a small stone in his mouth, he saw the stones arranged quite regularly by the little penguin. Instead of randomly placing them, he followed the other person's example and filled in his own.
Shi Qiao patted her flippers with satisfaction. She and the boss had a clear division of labor. One went out to find stones, and the other made detailed adjustments at home. The process of building the nest was proceeding in an orderly manner.
The other party has very high requirements for the nest this time, which is completely different from other penguins who just throw it in casually, so even if they have two penguins building a house at the same time, they won't be much faster than other Adélie.
After the laying of the entire bottom of the nest was completed, the little penguin became energetic at the thought of having the big boss stand in the middle. She just regretted that she couldn't use any equipment to take photos now.
Her heart-shaped carpet stands out among the pile of nests. It is neat and tidy. Every stone laid on the ground is uniform in size, smooth and rounded, and the angular ones are picked out and placed outside as walls. Other Adélie shoddy projects are simply incomparable.
Such a penguin-style building requires a lot of stones, so Shi Qiao planned to continue making a circle outside.
Even if other penguins steal the stone next, the most important part inside will not be destroyed.
The little penguin was still designing more details and didn't notice that part of the male Adélie nests had been built. Klein was still helping her look for small, round stones on the downhill slope. Shi Qiao turned around and wanted to grab one from other nests to fill the surrounding area. Unexpectedly, as soon as she turned around, she saw seven or eight males gathered behind her.
The penguins looked aggressive and unkind, and their eyes said "Determined to win", which frightened the little penguin.
She thought that the "mansion" of herself and her boss was being targeted by these penguins, so she came over to grab rocks together, quickly spread her flippers to block her nest behind, and gave them warning calls.
As soon as she called, the other males returned to their stone nests with burning eyes and sang their voices in unison, to attract the little females to come and admire their buildings.
Adélie courtship method relies on the construction quality and personal charm of the stone nest. Those who are very confident about their buildings will show off like crazy and call females over to take a look. Those who are not so confident about their stone nests will sing a song to their wooing target in a magical voice and dare to say any love words that will make their faces turn red and their hearts beat.
At the same time, they stretch their neck, show their body, and dance posture to the other party in all directions.
It's noisy.
This was the only thought in Shi Qiao's mind when she heard a group of males screaming.
After the seven or eight male Adélie started barking just now, they led the other male Adélie who had not built a good house to follow suit and started barking too, for fear that they would not be able to catch up with the progress of picking up girls.
There is only this little female in the settlement right now. If the other party can choose any of them as her partner now, that penguin will gain the envy, jealousy, and hatred of many of their kind. Thinking about it will make their face light up!
Although the other party has always been next to the nest of a certain Antarctic bully, it does not hinder their fair pursuit.
Adélie is not a thin-skinned animal. They don't care if there is a goose that has been mentally matched. Even if she has already formed a partner, they can still poach her.
Taking advantage of the fact that there was no threat around the other side, the males screamed louder than the other, and their love words became more disgusting than the last, which made the little penguin take a few steps back in surprise.
"Come with me, I can hatch two eggs for you."
"Look at me, look at me, I'm better at hatching!"
"If you choose me, you will have a stay-at-home companion who can do everything from hatching eggs to raising babies."
"Thea, do you want to consider choosing me as your mate?" There was also a familiar-looking male who also patted his flippers, looking a little embarrassed. Shi Qiao looked at the other person's face carefully and found that the other person was Rao, whom she had met several times.
Rao covered up the other male Adélie voices and said anxiously: "You can still hit me without me hitting back or scolding you, and I can let you say whatever you want and hit me as you like."
"I'm thick-skinned and can withstand beatings!"
Shi Qiao: "..."
Shi Qiao was greatly frightened and forced to retreat continuously by these crazy "pursuers".
Just now, she thought those penguins were coming to cause havoc, but unexpectedly they turned out to be a group of self-recommended single males. Shi Qiao's ears were buzzing from the noise, and some bold suitors ran directly from the stone nest to her side.
Seeing a group of males running toward her, Shi Qiao felt like she couldn't defeat so many penguins. The scene was so chaotic that it seemed like she had no other choice but to run.
Before the little penguin could figure out how to deal with these troublesome suitors, the big guy who was downhill heard the commotion above and immediately dropped his work and ran back.
The Antarctic Bully was so powerful that he cut a path through a group of black males and fought his way back to the little penguin.
Shi Qiao watched as a "penguin nuclear bomb" with a powerful aura rushed from behind, hitting the male penguin group directly and tearing them apart.
After seeing Klein, the little penguin immediately breathed a sigh of relief and flapped her flippers at him: "Big brother, come and save me! They won't let me go."
Klein looked at the other males as if his eyes were carrying two torches that were burning brighter and brighter. He wanted to use the fire to burn all the feathers of these males who did not know the heights of the sky and expel them from his little penguin.
Some males began to give up after receiving the fierce looks of fighting intent. Some males had been pushed to the ground by the opponent just now. After finally getting up, they returned to their stone nests dejectedly and chose to watch.
Except for these males who were weak in combat and well aware of current affairs, the remaining Adélie all focused on the little female in front of them and did not want to give up easily even if they had to fight.
They have already regarded her as their future pursuit object while migrating back to their settlement, and they must go out and give it a try.
If they mate with an excellent female, the eggs they lay in the future may be even better. In addition, the partner is really cute. If they are chosen as her mate by such a cute female, they can brag about it for a lifetime!
Shi Qiao couldn't understand these Adélie brain circuits. It was clear that in a few days, a large number of female penguins would come back but they insisted on looking at her.
She stretched out her head and bit the nearest penguin, leaving no room at all. She just wanted to expel the penguin, but the male who was bitten became even more excited and even offered his head to her to let her continue.
Shi Qiao was dumbfounded.
What kind of masochist is this?
Klein used his flippers to slap away the blocking male, ran to the frightened little penguin, kicked the reluctant male to the side, waited until the male fell, then went over and pressed the penguin to the ground and rubbed it hard.
He called several times in a higher pitch to the penguin group, and a group of three geese rushed over to support them, surrounding the lonely Thea to prevent other males from taking advantage of the situation.
The unwilling male Adélie wanted to approach the little penguin from behind, and Shi Qiao was very angry.
Adélie couldn't see these things at all, couldn't he tell that she was trying to avoid them?
The little penguin got angry and beat up all the males who wanted to get close to her. Coupled with the three bodyguard geese who were following her around to do evil things, the male Adélie was beaten until he howled and his black feathers were flying all over the sky.
Shi Qiao had an unknown number of penguin feathers hanging in her mouth. She pouted to the side, pouted a feather, and slapped the heads of the Adélie with her flippers.
She didn't know how many males she beat away. They were all blocked by another bully before going downhill, and they were all given a hard blow by another bully.
After being beaten twice in one day, no matter how many evil thoughts he had, they were beaten away without a trace.
What's more, compared to being beaten by the sweet and spicy Antarctic sweet girl, being beaten by the bully is more uncomfortable for the penguin. A certain goose is really deadly!
Klein is like a killer penguin and has no part in fighting back.
The opponent's eyes were red from beating him. He looked at the competing penguins as if he were looking at a group of losers, all of them were males. The opponent's eyes were stern and fierce, not like a penguin, but like a ferocious beast from somewhere. Every bite could accurately hit the most painful place and peck them out in one go.
The Adélie, who wanted to compete for the little female, was beaten to death by the opponent. He was afraid that he would have too many bald areas and would not be able to find a female in the future. He finally gave up his pursuit of the little female and left with a bruised face.
When he ran away, he was still a little reluctant to leave. He wanted to look back and see if his miserable situation could win some sympathy from the little female.
As a result, even if he even glanced at her, he was mercilessly intercepted by a domineering penguin. He walked up to the little penguin and used himself to block the sight of other penguins, and forced them back with eyes that were colder than dozens of degrees below zero.
Finding a partner is important, but their life is even more important!
If they don't run away, this bastard penguin will really beat them to death.
The Adélie returned to their own territory with injuries and disgrace, so it would be safer to wait for the rest of the female army to come back for a blind date!
Klein had just finished the battle, and before the fighting spirit in his eyes had completely subsided, the flippers on his side were lightly touched. He turned his head, and the little penguin who was protected behind him came half a step closer and rubbed her head.
The little cub that could only touch its belly has grown into a big penguin that is fought over by all the males this year. Time is really a magical thing.
At first, he just wanted to send the little oil bottle home, but then he softened his heart and stayed by her side. Until now, he can't be satisfied just watching the other person grow up to adulthood. He can't live without the other person's company for the rest of his life.
Seeing that the big man's eyes in front of her had lost their fierceness and looked at her quietly, Shi Qiao took courage and continued to touch the other person's flippers.
Holding hands, her heart magically gained a little more strength.
In the Leopard World, she was still a dull little follower who only thought about how to avoid being chased away by the big boss. But now it is different. The other party has no memory and she can take the initiative.
The little penguin opened its mouth and called twice crisply at the other party: "I don't want other penguins, I just want Klein."
Seeing that the other person's eyes paused as if he hadn't understood what she meant, Shi Qiao simply said directly: "Will Klein be my partner?"
When she said this, Shi Qiao was so nervous that she stared at the other person's face, fearing that the boss would show a reluctant expression.
She had thought about it, if Klein said he was unwilling, then she would have to force him.
She has grown into an ungrateful and immoral badass Adélie. She can no longer be satisfied with just being the other party's simple follower. If that doesn't work, she can only engage in some Penguin version of "forced love"!
When she is nervous, her mind is filled with all kinds of random thoughts, and the few seconds feel like they have been extended indefinitely. The more Shi Qiao waited, the more she was worried. She had never expressed her feelings so frankly for a long time. For a moment, her heartbeat was like a drum, and her flippers were tangled together in anxiety.
Fortunately, the other party didn't give her a chance to be the big bad guy. After realizing what she was talking about, his eyes were several times brighter than before.
Just like stars exploding, a huge joy burst out from his eyes, and he firmly answered in the affirmative. Klein also lowered his head and nuzzled the little penguin.
Shi Qiao's heart that was hanging in her throat was finally put back properly. The tension just now was all gone like the ebb of the sea, and what followed was excitement that was no less than the other person's.
Thank God, she finally succeeded in getting the boss!
Shi Qiao shouted happily to the three penguins beside her: "I don't need you to help me kidnap. The boss agreed."
The three penguins were sold out by the other party with just one word. They squawked and screamed, "What kidnapping?" They couldn't understand what she was talking about.
Klein knew as soon as he heard that some penguins had already known about the little penguin's thoughts and dared to hide them from him.
The three geese group looked at the penguins who had gotten a good deal and acted well, and they were so angry that they slapped their arms. The two geese were not allowed to tell each other. They didn't dare to say anything they were holding back. They had already suppressed it, and now they were criticized for being too strict.
Hateful!
Victor, Koloff, and Hoover all had hard fists, but couldn't beat him, so they could only say angrily: "You stinky couple, go back and build a nest."
The little penguin happily followed the big man to complete the final work on the stone nest. The last circle of fence is just needed to complete it. It will be done by then, hehehehe
Shi Qiao felt that her face was now yellow, and she looked like a young goose who coveted the beauty of a big boss.
The side bases should be higher to block the sight of other Adélie.
She had no choice but to live in groups, so she could only start building a house. She didn't want to be watched.
The little penguin was still thinking about something and didn't notice that Klein was silently speeding up his movements. There were not many stones left, so he simply demolished the neighbor's house and repaired it to his own place.
A certain penguin is so used to getting away with it that he doesn't feel anything bad about doing such bad things.
Shi Qiao looked at the other penguins who dared to be angry but dared not speak out and felt that it was quite satisfying to be a low-quality penguin, and finally realized the happiness of being without quality.
The females came back very early, and most of the males rushed back to the colony as soon as they built their nests. After receiving the females, Happy Hometown instantly turned into a dating square.
Shi Qiao saw the penguins' blind date meeting with her own eyes for the first time. After setting up the outer wall, she watched the other penguins go on blind dates with great interest.
She didn't have to worry about blind dates, and the big boss took full responsibility for their nest. She was well-groomed and had a lot of time to watch the fun.
Just like the pursuits she had encountered before, there are only a few ways for male Adélie to attract the opposite sex. The vast majority of females still pay more attention to the level of nesting. Shi Qiao soon discovered that every female coming from the highest place had to come to her and Klein for a while first.
They even craned their neck to sing to the big guy behind her.
Shi Qiao quickly called out to the opponent to show her presence, blocking the opponent just like Klein blocked herself before.
Seeing that the pairing had been successful, the females took one last regretful look at the largest and most beautiful stone nest in the settlement and turned to find their next favorite goose.
The penguins' blind date process is quite fast. When they see each other, they automatically form a couple. They rub each other's heads and necks and exchange feelings. Then the most important part begins.
The other penguins didn't have nests with good privacy, so Shi Qiao was caught off guard and saw something she shouldn't have seen before she could react.
The little penguin awkwardly shifted her gaze, only to see the penguin next to her also doing something.
This is a bit too fast.
Compared to these native Adélie, she is really conservative and ink-stained. Fortunately, Klein is very patient.
Shi Qiao turned her gaze to the big boss next to her with satisfaction and then saw the familiar little flame in the other person's eyes. What was burning inside was no longer the will to fight, but was replaced by a more scorching and profound gaze, as if he wanted to drag her into his heart and burn her together.
Just one look at each other made Shi Qiao's tail numb unconsciously.
Smelling the scent of the other person's body that penetrated her nose, the little penguin felt dizzy again. Only then did she think about why the big brother had been building a nest so fast without sleep these days.
He had to suppress himself while building a nest, so he could only transfer all his energy to finding rocks.
Just like a bottle of soda filled with carbonic acid, the more the bubbles are shaken, the more they gather, waiting for a specific moment to be released, and rush to burst out.
The back of Shi Qiao's neck was picked up by the other party and smoothed down, and he rubbed it a few times. It was a very cautious courtship move, and she didn't even realize that it was courtship. Klein didn't press his whole body against her but just nuzzled her twice with his head.
She felt her heart being tickled, and the fur that had been rubbed stood up unconsciously.
A certain male Adélie did not receive a response from the other party, and patiently continued to comb the baby's feathers, covering all areas covered with fur from head to toe.
The first time Shi Qiao knew what it meant to suck a penguin, she was still the one being sucked.
When the other party touched her tail, she suddenly realized that the boss was seducing her!
She was usually such a fierce goose, but at this moment she was so innocent, which made her think that the other person just felt that her fur was messy and needed to be tidied up and that her thoughts were impure.
Who can refuse such a proactive boss?
Shi Qiao was so tempted that she wagged her tail and nuzzled him back.
Finally receiving a response, Klein's eyes burned even more, and the fragrance in the air became more fragrant.
When the howling wind blew over, its edges were worn away by the spring atmosphere, and it gently brushed the feathers on the penguin's body. There was no obvious feeling because what caused the ripples was something inappropriate for other young geese.
Shi Qiao thought that the restless period of penguins should not be as obvious as that of leopards, but she underestimated it.
Just because she wasn't obvious didn't mean that Klein wasn't obvious.
The little penguin was severely "bullied" in the nest that she personally supervised. She was so tired that she wanted to run out, so she hurriedly found a place to hide. As soon as she stepped out of the house, her eyes glanced at Klein behind her.
The other party had a silent and patient expression on his face, obviously he had not yet been relieved.
Shi Qiao's heart softened. After all, he still couldn't bear to take this step and threw herself into the trap again.
The sweet and soft little penguin chirped in the nest. The outer stone wall hid the penguin's figure. The smooth and soft fur stuck together, and the stone nest was very warm.
She didn't know when it started to snow lightly in the sky, and the ocean was affected by the cyclones on the ground, ushering in the Antarctic spring cold wave.
The snowflakes fell on the feathers, and after a while they automatically turned into water, sliding down along the feathers, seeping into the pebbles below, and then into the frozen soil layer at the bottom.
The ups and downs of the wind have nothing to do with the penguins, and the last cold wave of spring has also melted here.
