Chapter 111 - Chapter 111

Jiang Yumin thought his son was not steady enough, fussing loudly over a trivial matter. Yao Lin also advised, "Yes, go and wash up, then change into some clothes; don't catch a cold." Even though it was summer, standing with a wet head could still lead to a chill. Jiang Han, however, still felt uneasy, remembering how no one had responded to his calls from inside. He dared not go back in to wash alone. "I... I'll go wash in Jiang Shu's room." Saying this, he didn't wait for agreement and directly stepped into the bathroom of the adjacent room belonging to Jiang Shu. Jiang Shu couldn't stop him in time and could only stamp his feet in frustration from the outside. Jiang Yumin shook his head and turned back to his own room with Yao Lin. Meanwhile, Jiang Han, mulling over the events, didn't dare dawdle in the shower. He quickly rinsed himself off, changed clothes, and left the room. Upon exiting, he saw two people sitting in Jiang Shu's room. One was Jiang Shu, and the other was Jiang Xuxu. Jiang Han initially jumped in fright but quickly glared at Jiang Xuxu. "Was it you who played that trick just now?!" He had suspected as much since the water had suddenly stopped, and everything was back to normal when Uncle Ming went in. Not to mention no one had responded to his calls, and he couldn't accept that it was just a coincidence. Recalling the bet Jiang Xuxu had mentioned earlier, he almost instantly concluded it was her doing, though he didn't know what means she used. Sitting beside, Jiang Shu was also very curious about what had happened. Jiang Xuxu, observing Jiang Han's exasperated look, remained calm and nonchalantly pulled out a yellow talisman. "This is a Silence Talisman. Stick it on the door, and no matter how much noise inside, not a sound will be heard from outside, which you've just experienced." She had modified this from the barrier talisman formula, simply isolating sound, with everything else remaining normal. Although Jiang Shu had claimed Jiang Xuxu was up to something, he had assumed she used some special technological means. He never expected her to produce a talisman, and now he was at a loss for words. Jiang Shu, equally astounded, showed great interest. "Is there such a talisman? Sister, I want one too! Sell it to me!" With this talisman, would he still be worried about his parents catching him playing games? He wouldn't even need to wear headphones! Jiang Xuxu, never one to beat around the bush, turned her head, "2000 per talisman." Jiang Shu didn't hesitate, nodding and quickly transferred the money via his phone. Jiang Han watched, utterly dumbfounded. "You... you really know spells?" Jiang Han felt like his entire worldview was being shattered. Jiang Xuxu glanced at Jiang Han and, not bothering to explain, simply said, "It was a bet, and I won." Jiang Han's mouth twitched. He had thought about letting her lose on purpose, but after the stir he caused, even getting his family involved, he couldn't deny what happened, even if he wanted to. Suddenly, another thought occurred to him, and he looked at Jiang Xuxu with an ugly expression. "Wait, even if you used a talisman, what about the water in my room?" Jiang Han imagined Jiang Xuxu might have sent a ghost to stop his water in the midst of his shower. Otherwise, how could it have timed so perfectly... The thought of a ghost lurking nearby while he showered made him shiver and look at Jiang Xuxu as if she was a monster. Jiang Xuxu, looking at him, revealed another answer, "The house's water control system can monitor water usage in real-time in each room." Jiang Han was perplexed. Not a ghost?? Jiang Xuxu seemed to sigh, explaining, "I just monitored your water usage, guessed the time, and shut off your room's water valve, that's all." Jiang Han's mouth twitched fiercely at her response. And you say that's all!
