Professor, your turtle!

Fu Mingyuan turned over, closed his eyes and muttered vaguely.

Not wanting to wake him up, Ji Fan picked up the coquettish little penguin in one hand and the feeding notes he had prepared earlier in the other hand, and walked outside in the dark.

Penguin chicks grow fast and of course eat a lot.During the fledgling period, they usually need to be fed fish every 3 to 4 hours, and they need to be fed water every hour... Generally speaking, they are very delicate animals.

The fluff on the top of the cub's head in front of him was still a little wet, and its big eyes covered with white shades were half-opened and half-closed. When it was carried to the atrium, it shivered lazily.

-The temperature is still low.

Ji Fan frowned in embarrassment, and suddenly had an idea, pulled off his collar, and stuffed the towel into the gap between the front breasts, leaving only a small penguin head outside.

It is so small and soft, if you don't look carefully, you might recognize it as a dusty chick.

While taking out the fish, Ji Fan lowered his head and glanced worriedly—can such a weak cub really swallow the food smoothly?

As it turned out, his concerns were well-founded.

Warm towels were piled up on the table. After the little penguin was put down, it stretched its short legs weakly and lay in the middle.

At this moment, it probably smelled the smell of fish, and it suddenly became excited, and opened its mouth skillfully to send out crisp and clear flattery.

Ji Fan had a small half bowl of surimi in his hand, tried to scoop up half a spoonful, and carefully handed it to its mouth.However, the little penguin couldn't eat it after pecking hard for a long time.

After a while, it exhausted its strength, fell down with a snap, poked its clean little head, and buried it completely in the spoon that was bigger than its face.

Ji Fan: "Pfft..."

The little penguin felt very ashamed. What's worse, his stomach was growling with hunger, and the food was clearly in front of him, but he couldn't eat it.It was anxious and angry, raised its small wings to cover its face, and complained continuously from its throat.

Ji Fan smiled to himself for a while, picked it up again, wiped off his poor face, and began to think of other ways.

"Do you need help?"

Ji Fan got up, and saw that Fu Mingyuan had gotten up at some point, leaning against the door and looking at the two of them, with a teasing smile on his thin lips.

Did you wake up?Ji Fan was a little embarrassed, wiped his wet hands on the towel carelessly, and wrote: "Don't you want to sleep for a while?"

"No need." Fu Mingyuan stepped forward, showing the "secret weapon" he had hidden in his hand, and said, "Let me do it."

……Needle?

Ji Fan was a little puzzled, this chick was just born, how could it receive nutrients through injections?

In the next second, he saw Fu Mingyuan skillfully stretched out two slender fingers, firmly clamped the penguin cub's sharp beak, and dragged the little guy over.

Caught off guard and being brutally treated, the little penguin was extremely wronged, writhed and struggled, and crawled desperately towards Ji Fan, muttering and howling heart-piercingly, as if being forcibly pushed away from "father" by a bully The little poor boy who was taken away looked like he had been bullied miserably.

Ji Fan couldn't bear to see it, and just wanted to go forward, but was stopped by the other side's eyes.

"He has to get used to it." Fu Mingyuan glanced at him and said lightly.

Ji Fan: "..." He looked at the little penguin and sighed—"Father" can't do anything about the hard-hearted Mr. Fu.

After struggling for a while, no one came to rescue him.The poor cub was forced to accept his fate, and the range of movements slowly weakened.

Immediately, perhaps the foraging instinct hidden in the blood was awakened, and it opened its mouth cautiously.

Fu Mingyuan was concentrating on its movements, and when he saw this, he immediately raised his other hand, squeezed the syringe, and the white liquid food miraculously flowed into its esophagus smoothly.

The little penguin's throat rolled, and after a while, it finally made a simple swallowing movement.

succeeded?Standing on tiptoe, Ji Fan looked over Fu Mingyuan's shoulder nervously. He couldn't believe that they had just taken the first step of artificially raising emperor penguins so easily.

"You have to imitate the feeding habits of the mother bird." Fu Mingyuan explained after feeding a syringe of food intermittently, "This is the case for wild animals. Emperor penguins have been feeding from their parents' crops since they were young. If you want to artificially feed them, You have to create a similar illusion as well.”

Ji Fan took a moment to glance at him, the man looked very focused on his work, the corners of his lips were pursed, his brows were slightly furrowed, against the light, there was an indescribable strange charm.

His slender and strong index finger firmly clasped the edge of the beak, and his eyes were fixed on the penguin. He didn't even move when the hair on his forehead fell down and ran across his cheeks, as if he didn't notice it.

Ji Fan couldn't help laughing, stretched out his hand to pick up the strand of hair, and pinned it behind his ear.

Fu Mingyuan glanced at him from the end of his eyes, and the corners of his lips relaxed indiscernibly, with a small arc raised.

The syringe fills the liquid food into the esophagus bit by bit, and the fingers with the sharp beak are clamped, simulating the touch of the mother bird wrapping the beak to feed the young bird.

In a daze, the little penguin regained the feeling of relying on his father, relaxed his body slowly, and stopped struggling.Instead, it kicked its two short legs, pouted its fat buttocks, changed to a more comfortable position and nestled in Fu Mingyuan's palm, howled and opened its mouth wide to beg for food.

After a while, after the scheduled nutritious meal was fed, Fu Mingyuan handed the "little chicken" back to Ji Fan, and stood up holding the needle.

In just a few seconds, the little guy learned to be snobby without a teacher. He smacked his lips and found that the delicious food was gone, and his coquettish voice immediately increased an octave. Fingers, struggling to poke out his head to reach Fu Mingyuan.

As for the original beloved "Dad", it has long been completely forgotten by it.

Ji Fan grabbed its tail hair and snorted in his heart: "Bad guy."

Seeing this, Fu Mingyuan's heart moved slightly, and he couldn't help bending down to tease him.

He scratched the silly little penguin, who immediately squinted his eyes in enjoyment and cooed.He scratched Ji Fan's chin again, and Ji Fan was so angry that he turned his head and glared at him.

Fu Mingyuan pretended to be distressed and said: "It seems that it still sticks to me more, should I change to a pet?"

Ji Fan was stunned for a second before he realized that the other pet he was talking about was himself. He couldn't help but open his mouth, stretched his neck with lightning speed, and bit Fu Mingyuan's hand bitterly.

The moment his teeth touched the pads of his fingers, he was a little soft-hearted, and he didn't want to use too much force, so he only rubbed them lightly twice.

Holding his finger in his mouth and raising his head flamboyantly, Ji Fan realized that the other party's expression was unnatural.

—— Fu Mingyuan didn't dare to move, his eyes slowly moved down, and fell on his lips, and the base of his ears was slightly red.

Ji Fan: "..." From the perspective of outsiders, their posture is too ambiguous, it looks like he is actively sucking it.

However, the only spectator in the base was the little penguin, who opened his half-blind Kazilan's big eyes, looked at his father with a bewildered face, tilted his head to look at Dad No. 1, and then at Dad No. 2, and gave a "chiu~" in confusion .

Ji Fan blushed and spat out in a panic.Due to nervousness, he subconsciously used the tip of his tongue to push out the finger of the other party, which was self-defeating, but it was like a lick.

Fu Mingyuan withdrew his hand like an electric shock, and a crack appeared on his face—although it was only for a short moment, the moist and soft touch from his fingertips made him unable to restrain his thoughts.

"you……"

However, the culprit still looked unconscious and raised his head nervously.Those beautiful eyes were clean and pure, and there was a temptation in the depths that he himself was not aware of.

Fu Mingyuan couldn't stand his eyes like this the most, and he didn't dare to mention "want to change pets" at the moment, and changed the subject abruptly: "I can't feed you anymore if you act like a baby. If you eat too much, you will be stuffed to death. I set the alarm clock and feed it in three hours." The second time." He took off his gloves, picked up the half-empty bucket and prepared to go out to fetch water.

Suddenly, the corner of the clothes was grabbed.

Reflexively, Fu Mingyuan straightened his back: "Don't be angry. I'm just joking. I must save you first."

Ji Fan: "..." Even if he and the little penguin fell into the water at the same time... Hey, can they both swim?

And... that's not what he wanted to say at all.

"What's the matter?" Fu Mingyuan turned around, his eyes fell on the little fluffy penguin, and he couldn't help but start rambling again, "Feed water for a while, don't feed it too cold, once an hour on average, to maintain body temperature..."

Ji Fan slowly raised the writing board, and the smile on his face widened a little: "I remember you said you didn't like it yesterday?"

Fu Mingyuan: "..." He said stubbornly, "I don't like it much now, it's just my responsibility."

"Responsibility?" Ji Fan narrowed his eyes, "Then we will release it to the penguin breeding colony when it grows up?"

Fu Mingyuan turned pale with shock, and blurted out: "How can this work? What I raised is mine."

Ji Fan: "..." Mr. Fu's gangster logic was completely exposed.

Fu Mingyuan let out a dry cough: "I mean, artificially bred penguins can't be released directly, and there are likely to be various psychological problems. Not to mention the recent abnormal climate in Antarctica, even if you go to the breeding ground, you may not be able to encounter large-scale penguins."

As he spoke, he had completely fallen into the mentality of a nervous old father: "Think about it, there are so many black-hearted vagrants in the Antarctic waters. Last time I told you about the crime story of a seal catching a penguin. , didn't it cause vigilance? If we 'Jiujiu' encounter such a thing..."

Ji Fan raised his eyebrows: "'Jiujiu'?"

Fu Mingyuan: "..." His face was flushed, and he retorted loudly, "What's wrong with this name? Isn't it called 'Jiu Jiu' and 'Jiu Jiu'?"

Ji Fan finally couldn't hold back his expression, burst out laughing, shook his head and wrote: "It's nothing, I just think it's cute."

——The name is cute, and the person who chose it is also cute.

Fu Mingyuan immediately froze: "That's natural."

"Let's talk about the repatriation later, right now..." Ji Fan said solemnly, "We 'Jiu Jiu' are hungry and need a drink of water."

Fu Mingyuan lifted the bucket happily and went out to work.

Taking advantage of the short time, Ji Fan dug out several special shirts from the box.They have one thing in common, a small inner pocket is sewn near the belly.

——This was originally hand-sewn by Mr. Di Fu, and it was intended to put the beloved little turtle to rest, but now it has come in handy for other purposes.

Ji Fan gestured to the mirror, hesitated for a while, put the little penguin gently on the bed, turned his head and began to unbutton his jacket.

"By the way, today you..." Fu Mingyuan pushed open the door of the dormitory, saw the scene inside, became dumb for a moment, and the bucket almost fell to the ground.

His lips were pursed, a suspicious reddish color crept up his cheeks little by little, his heart was beating fast, as if it would burst through his chest in the next second.
