Han Rou, Xiao Si, and Xiao Wu were still talking about secrets in the room when they heard the door close. Han Rou stood up and said, "Grandpa and the others must be back."
"I wish we could tell Grandpa, but every time we're about to reveal it, we start coughing uncontrollably." Xiao Wu sat dejectedly on the edge of the bed, looking utterly dejected.
There was a knock on Xiao Wu's door, and Han Chengshan's voice came from outside: "Second Sister, Fourth Sister, Fifth Sister, are the three of you inside?"
"Yes," Han Rou replied, turning to look at Xiao Wu with a hint of worry in her eyes.
"Open the door and let me in! I want to participate in your secret meeting too!" Han Chengshan shouted from outside the door.
Xiao Wu opened the door, curled his lip in annoyance, then crossed his arms and blocked the doorway.
Han Chengshan looked innocent, winked and smiled, saying, "This time I knocked on the door; I had no intention of eavesdropping at all."
"We won't tell you, and we can't say it either." Xiao Wu pouted and shook his head repeatedly.
Han Chengshan pushed aside Xiao Wu, who was blocking his way, and swaggered into the room. He lay down on the beanbag chair, a slight smile playing on his lips, and said in a leisurely tone, "I know all your secrets."
"You couldn't possibly know." Xiao Si exclaimed, his mouth agape in shock.
"Go away, Third Brother, don't ask any more questions." Xiao Wu shooed him away, waving his hands repeatedly.
Han Rou narrowed her eyes, crossed her arms, and looked at Han Chengshan scrutinizingly: "What do you know?"
Xiao Wu quickly tugged at her second sister's hand, her eyes filled with anxiety: "Second sister, are you having a persistent cough?"
Han Chengshan raised an eyebrow, a smug smile spreading across his face: "Don't worry, as long as you don't open your mouth or say anything about the system, you won't keep coughing."
The three were shocked to hear Han Chengshan utter the word "system".
"You know that!" Xiao Si's eyes widened.
"How could you possibly know!" Xiao Wu's eyes widened as she looked at Han Chengshan in disbelief.
Han Rou looked at her third brother with an expression of surprise.
Xiao Wu had a guess: "Could it be that the person right after Second Sister is Third Brother? Third Brother, do you have a system too?"
Xiao Si tentatively began, "Third Brother, my system is... cough cough cough cough..." Before he could finish speaking, he started coughing violently.
"Fourth Brother, why are you coughing?" Xiao Wu was startled and looked at Han Chengshan in fear, involuntarily taking a step back.
Han Chengshan waved his hand, looking calm: "The three of you don't need to say anything, just listen to me. Xiao Si, have some water and calm down."
"Third Brother, what exactly is going on?" Xiao Wu stamped his foot anxiously.
"Xiao Wu, stop talking, or you'll cough. You three, just listen to me." Han Chengshan patted Xiao Wu's shoulder gently, signaling him to calm down.
"Your secrets are unspeakable because they are restricted by the system after you are bound to it. This is not a big problem. There are still loopholes to exploit. As long as I tell you and you don't, we can still hold this secret meeting together."
"Today I went to my grandpa's company. I ate too much, so I went for a walk. On the way, I saw a gun that looked just like a real gun. I pretended not to see it and ran away to avoid getting into trouble," Han Chengshan recounted vividly, his face full of expressions.
"But that gun seems to have attached itself to me. Wherever I go, it appears in front of me, as if forcing me to pick it up." At this point, Han Chengshan even exaggeratedly made a scared expression.
"I didn't dare pick it up at all. I asked the two bodyguards if they had seen the gun, but neither of them had seen it. It was as if I was the only one who could see the gun. At the time, they thought I was hallucinating." Han Chengshan spread his hands helplessly.
Xiao Wu quickly pulled a sapphire from his pocket and pointed it at his palm.
Han Chengshan looked over, a puzzled expression on his face, and asked, "Xiao Wu, what are you showing me? Your palms are empty."
Xiao Wu kept winking and making faces at Han Chengshan.
Xiao Si pointed to himself, then to Xiao Wu's palm, and nodded vigorously to indicate that he could see.
Han Rou did the same, indicating that she could see it.
Han Chengshan suddenly realized and asked, "Is there something in Xiao Wu's palm that only people bound to the system can see?"
The three nodded in unison.
"Just like that gun, only I can see it. It seems that the gun and the thing in Xiao Wu's hand are similar systems."
"Want to know what happened to that gun in the end?"
Han Chengshan suddenly smiled mysteriously, a smile that seemed malicious, and even winked at the three of them.
The three of them looked on with curiosity.
"Hehe!" Han Chengshan chuckled slyly, "If I told you, it would definitely scare your system!"
Xiao Wu slapped him hard, put his hands on his hips, and looked anxious.
Han Rou also glared at him, her eyes filled with urgency, her lips slightly pursed.
Han Chengshan chuckled, "That gun threatened me, saying that if I didn't bind it, Grandpa wouldn't live much longer. Do you think I, Han Chengshan, am easily scared? How could I possibly believe it! I took it to Grandpa, and it was incredibly audacious, daring to try binding itself with him. Hehe, guess what?"
Han Rou clenched her fists and glared fiercely at Han Chengshan, her eyes full of warning, as if to say: If you don't talk, I'll beat you up!
Han Chengshan touched his nose and chuckled, "I'll tell you, I'll tell you. You're all so impatient. Look at you, you're all getting red in the face!"
"That thing dared to bind to Grandpa! As soon as it got close to him, it was repelled by an invisible light. Hehe, it vanished into thin air. Isn't that tragic?"
At this moment, from the perspective of Han Rou, Xiao Si, and Xiao Wu, the sapphire was trembling in Xiao Wu's palm, clearly quite frightened.
Xiao Si took out his sunglasses, which were actually trembling. The already flimsy frames seemed about to fall apart.
Han Rou took out her kitchen knife and saw that, sure enough, the knife was also trembling.
Han Chengshan was startled and involuntarily took a step back, his face showing a look of terror. He stammered, "I...I didn't lie to you, Second Sister, I wouldn't dare lie to you! Why are you taking out a kitchen knife! You...you're not going to chop me up, are you?"
"I won't cut you." Han Rou paused, then, with the mindset of wanting to try even if it made her cough, she held her breath and quickly said, "Like that gun, it's similar to a system, but mine is a spirit."
"Second sister, you actually said that? Then I'll try it too. My sunglasses should be the system's carrier right now. It seems to be able to choose any carrier, but it must be an object that was originally not from this world and was redeemed with points in the system shop."
"Fourth Brother, you can talk now? Then I'll try too! Third Brother, what I have in my palm is a sapphire, that's my system."
Han Rou analyzed, "Perhaps our third brother already knew, which is why we were able to tell him?"
Xiao Si shook his head: "That shouldn't be the reason. I just coughed."
Xiao Wu stroked his chin and asked, "Could it be because Third Brother scared the system, so it doesn't dare to restrict us anymore?"
