"This shop is a hidden gem I discovered."
The girl's eyes curved into a smile.
"I bought all three of my snakes here."
T-three?!
Uncle Xi was stunned.
He looked at his nephew.
The boy nodded wryly.
That was right.
This girl had greedily raised three snakes.
Well.
Now she only had two left.
But soon, she'd have three again.
Good heavens.
Uncle Xi clicked his tongue.
"Xiao Xin."
"Your parents..."
"They really spoil you."
The words lingered on his tongue for a moment before Uncle Xi spoke with a hint of emotion.
"Huh?"
The girl didn't understand what Uncle Xi meant.
She was still basking in the happiness of returning to this shop—and having her uncle pay for her this time.
Even when someone spoke so close by, she could still fail to hear them.
"I said..."
Uncle Xi looked at the girl. "Your parents really spoil you."
"They actually agreed to let you raise snakes."
"And let you keep three of them."
The girl understood.
She grinned.
"Hehe."
"Actually, it was because my brother helped me persuade Mom and Dad."
The girl named the person chiefly responsible.
When it came to persuading her parents to let her raise snakes, her brother had absolutely been the person most responsible.
She was very grateful to him.
"And even though they agreed to let me raise snakes, they don't support me doing it."
"I handle everything related to the snakes myself."
"I also pay for all the snake-related expenses myself."
"With my allowance."
The girl added.
All right.
She knew her allowance came from her parents, too.
So her parents were helping her raise snakes after all.
"Oh, I see."
Dad Xi nodded.
He understood why her brother and the others had done that.
