Chapter 29: Six Little Babies

Chapter 29: Six Little Babies

Though Jin Yu's ancestral home was old, it was not small, comprising four bedrooms and a living room, complete with a large courtyard.

The courtyard was filled with various flowers, and not a single weed could be found in the flower pots, all carefully tended by Leng Xiyue.

Gong Xinyi looked around the courtyard, his visit not for anything else but to learn more about Leng Xiyue and to find out if she was indeed raising snakes here.

After looking around without finding anything unusual, he was about to leave when he inadvertently noticed a unique scene on the clothesline in the courtyard.

Six adorable overalls were lined up in a row, followed by six small white T-shirts, each printed with cute cartoon characters.

Further back, there was a round clothes rack, densely packed with colorful little socks.

Gong Xinyi couldn't help but walk forward, starting to count the socks.

"One, two, three..."

Twelve in total, six pairs!

Beside the sock hanger, there was also a square hanger filled with masks.

Gong Xinyi couldn't help but count again.

"One, two, three... six!"

He was extremely astonished.

Why were all the clothes on the clothesline exactly six items?

A lucky number?

A smooth and auspicious six?

Did Leng Xiyue have a particular fondness for the number six? Or was there a little secret about six she harbored?

Surely she hadn't really raised six pythons?

Could it be she treated the pythons as her children?

I've seen people dress up cats and dogs, but never a python.

Gong Xinyi stared at the dungarees for a long time, his mind involuntarily conjuring up a bizarre spectacle.

That is, how does a python manage to wriggle into a pair of dungarees?

A python wearing a T-shirt is understandable, but with just a tail for its lower half, which pant leg does it emerge from?

And then those socks, does a snake need to wear socks?

No, the pet Leng Xiyue keeps is definitely not a python! It must be some other pet that can't be disclosed to the public.

But what kind of pet could wear both pants and socks like a human?

Gong Xinyi fell into deep thought.

A monkey?

That was the only possibility Gong Xinyi could think of.

Because a monkey's size is similar to that of a small child.

Looking again at the clothes on the clothesline, their size was very close to a monkey's height.

Yes, it must be monkeys!

This Leng Xiyue, she really has some nerve, secretly keeping monkeys, and six of them at that!

What on earth does this woman intend to do? Start her own business? Open a circus?

Gong Xinyi wanted to look inside the room, but the old house's door was locked, and he couldn't enter, so he could only peer through the window.

This time, he discovered many more instances of "six".

The living room's dining table had six cups on it, surrounded by six little chairs, there were six toy cars and six dolls on the toy cabinet, and the shoe rack was divided into six levels, each bearing a row of tiny shoes the size of a palm.

In short, everything in the house came in sets of six.

Clearly, it was six little monkeys.

Leng Xiyue was actually raising these six little monkeys as her children? Not only did she have them wear human clothes and shoes, but she also let them sit at the dining table.

This wasn't starting a circus, then what was it?

No wonder she was so reluctant to leave the hotel; her dream was here.

And her dream was to start a circus!

Gong Xinyi finally discovered Leng Xiyue's secret and walked back in a cheerful mood.

In the kitchen, Leng Xiyue had been halfway through cooking when she suddenly remembered that the courtyard gate of the old house wasn't locked, worried that Gong Xinyi might go there, she dashed out of the kitchen in a frenzy.

She vividly remembered that the clothes and socks she washed for the children were hanging in the courtyard; if Gong Xinyi saw them, her secret of secretly giving birth to sextuplets could no longer be hidden.

Gong Xinyi, you better not have gone to the old house!

Leng Xiyue ran towards the old house, praying in her heart.

At the entrance of the courtyard, she saw the last scene she wanted to witness.

Gong Xinyi was actually here, and...
