Your Ghost is No More, Gentleman! Chapter 4

Gabriel, who was thinking about what to eat for lunch, apparently forgot that a certain movie star was still waiting for his reply.

So when Gabriel arrived at the set to film the next day, what he saw was Jason who smiled at him particularly "brilliantly".

Gabriel: ...Mom, help me, why does he look more like a cannibal than me?

Fortunately, Henry asked him to go over to film at this time. Without waiting for Henry's request, Gabriel, who had put on makeup and a long gown, climbed up the peach tree in the yard in a few steps, and then jumped down nimbly: "Okay, the flowers are beautiful, and the height is just right."

The scene to be filmed today is the first meeting between Julian and Xie Xiao. Henry strives for realism, and the props team has indeed put a lot of thought into it. Even though it is already July, the peach blossoms on this tree are still blooming like real ones.

Samuel looked at his monkey-like artist, then looked at the staff's hands under the peach tree, and smiled awkwardly: "Gabriel... likes to exercise."

"Ahem." Director Xu coughed lightly. After making sure that Jason and Gabriel were ready, he waved his hand and asked someone to clap the board.

Gabriel closed his eyes, and when he opened them again, he had turned into the young master of the wealthy family.

The early years of the Republic of China were a turbulent era. The continuous wars made people panic, but they did not alarm the nobles in Yancheng at all, especially the Song family, which was the most powerful family in Yancheng and maintained its enormous wealth for a hundred years.

As the only son of the Song family, it is no exaggeration to say that Julian grew up in a honeypot. Fortunately, young master Song was born with a transparent mind. Apart from being a little naughty and rebellious, he did not have the bad temper that is common among playboys.

However, even for someone like Julian who would rather ask for stars than the moon, there is a place in the Song family that he is forbidden to approach - that is the peach tree behind the old lady's yard.

But how could Julian be an obedient person? After thinking for a few days, he took advantage of the time when the old lady went out to watch an opera, tiptoed into the yard, and then nimbly climbed up the peach tree that he had been curious about for a long time.

It’s a pity that this peach tree looks no different from other peach trees. Its dark brown trunk is tall and thick, and it seems that it has taken root in the Song family for many years.

The short-haired boy raised his head out of boredom and touched the pink peach blossoms twice, but happened to see a yellow talisman paper on his head.

What was that? The boy reached out to grab it out of curiosity, but accidentally cut his hand on a branch.

"call---"

The breeze brushed across the boy's cheek, blowing peach blossoms to the ground. A man in a black robe suddenly appeared under the tree, and together with the peach blossoms, he amazed the boy's eyes.

"Who are you?" the boy asked curiously, not caring at all about his bleeding fingers. "Why are you dressed like this?"

The man under the tree did not answer. He just stared at the boy warily with his dark eyes, as if he was troubled by his unfamiliar situation.

The shadow of the peach tree covered most of the man's body, with only his left hand exposed. The spring sunlight was so bright that it made the hand gradually become transparent.

"Why don't you speak? Are you my monster?" The boy didn't notice this strange scene. He just held on to the tree trunk and jumped up, revealing a mischievous smile - "My monster has to catch me well."

"Boom!"

The boy hit the man accurately, and the man staggered. Where the boy couldn't see, his handsome face suddenly cracked, as disgusting as a ghost-faced Shura.

The man curled his fingers into claws, and his sharp fingertips seemed like they would pierce the boy's heart in the next second.

But he suddenly stopped.

The hand that gradually dissipated in the sunlight suddenly regained its solidity extremely quickly the moment it touched the young man.

"Xie Xiao," the man replied in a gentle voice, his cracked face regained its handsomeness, and the hand that was about to pierce his chest and take his heart gently stroked the top of the boy's head, "My name is Xie Xiao."

The young man looked up and met the man's warm eyes, but he could not see the bright red flowers blooming on the withered tree behind him.

His century-long fate with the Song family was destined to end here.

"Card!"

Henry's voice brought all the staff on the set back to their senses. Although there was no post-production special effects, the acting skills of the two movie kings still brought them into that scene in the movie. The crisis of being in danger without knowing it, and Jason's sinister and cold eyes, made many timid employees' hair stand on end and cried out in fear.

"It's done," Henry looked at the scene in the camera with satisfaction, "Some shots can just be retaken."

Then he whispered to himself, "One pass, good luck."

Gabriel didn't care about whether it was auspicious or not. When he heard the director shout "cut", he immediately stood up from Jason's arms.

What is the s3xual orientation of this script? Not to mention the fact that there is no female lead, why is there such an ambiguous relationship between the two male leads?

---It’s not that Gabriel is so opposed to same-s3x love, but there is no clear indicator, so it is difficult for him to find the right balance.

But fortunately, judging from Henry’s expression, he should have performed well in this first scene.

"What's wrong?" Jason took a sip of the bottle of mineral water Daniel handed him. He looked at Gabriel, who was standing about a meter away from him, and asked, "Did I make you uncomfortable?"

Gabriel shook his head. How could a thousand-year-old ghost like him be afraid of a young Taoist priest who was less than thirty years old?

It’s just that the fragrance of this little Taoist priest was too special, and it made him inexplicably hungry. If this continued, he was afraid that he would not be able to hold back and would have to go out to eat with him.

Seeing that Gabriel took another step back for some reason, Jason raised his eyebrows, but did not pester Gabriel anymore.

There were more shots to be taken later, so Samuel took Gabriel to sit at the stone table under the peach tree and wait for her to touch up her makeup. Oliver let out a "meow" and kicked Samuel, running into the shade of the tree.

Although July is not the hottest time of the year, it is definitely not cool either. Even Samuel, who was standing next to the cat with an umbrella in his arms, was sweating. But Gabriel seemed to be fine, looking so refreshed and clean that it made people jealous.

Mia, who was sent to touch up Gabriel's makeup, stood there in a daze, feeling a little at a loss as to where to start.

---Mom, this person's makeup doesn't seem to fall off.

But facing Samuel's puzzled look, Mia still took the foundation and eyebrow pencil to show her respect. No matter what, she was one step closer to her dream today, which was cause for celebration.

The cell phone was still there with Samuel. Gabriel had nothing to do, so he simply closed his eyes and let Mia do what he wanted. But when he opened his eyes a few minutes later, he would see Jason sitting opposite him at the table.

[You can't avoid it. You two still have to work together for two months.] Oliver's tone was a little puzzled. [I say, Lao Gu, why are you so scared? You are not such a cowardly person normally. You are not really scared by my words about the unfinished love between a human and a ghost, right?]

[Go, go, go,] Gabriel retracted his gaze, [He can tell my identity at a glance, how simple do you think he is?]

After a pause, he continued: [And let alone the golden light of merit, even if I open my ghost pupils, I can't see any aura on this person. He must be from a prominent family. There is a difference between humans and ghosts. If you don't want to cause trouble, it's better to have less contact with him.]

[But you are already a ghost fairy, and you are the kind that cultivates with the essence of the sun and the moon.] Oliver licked his beard under the shade of the tree, [We are all cultivators, why are you afraid of him?]

Gabriel didn't like to hear this: "I'm not afraid of him, I'm afraid of trouble."

Besides, Jason's inexplicable curiosity about him and the strange scent on his body clearly indicated the word "trouble".

Gabriel was ready to hear Oliver's retort, but who would have thought that instead of hearing his harsh words, he heard a cat's furious cry: "fcuk! There's a ghost!"

Oliver's shout was quite loud and at least the people around the stone table were startled. Samuel hurried to pick up the cat, but Gabriel grabbed his sleeve.

"I'll go, Oliver listens to me." Gabriel naturally wouldn't let Samuel get close to the peach tree that might be haunted. He whispered an apology to Jason and the others, then turned around to find Oliver.

Jason looked thoughtfully at the grass beside the peach tree. His eyes were no longer gentle, as if he had noticed something.

Oliver was jumping up and down in a place where no one could see, so lively that he didn't seem like a cool cat at all. Gabriel's ghostly pupils stood up, but he only found a little bit of evil spirit in the grass beside the peach tree.

It looks very familiar, and the scent is exactly the same as the one attached to the broken incense.

[Did you see what the ghost looked like?] Gabriel walked towards the bushes. It wasn’t that he was nosy, but ghosts had their own ways. Living under the same roof for a while, Gabriel would definitely have to explain his own rules to the other party.

---You can make whatever trouble you want, but don't harm innocent people or delay his filming. Otherwise, he will not show any mercy even if they are his former counterparts.

Oliver meowed: [It was a woman wearing a cheongsam. I didn’t see her face clearly. She was standing in the bushes and looking forward, as if she was looking for someone.]

A peach wood comb fell into the grass. Peach wood is a material used to ward off evil spirits, but this comb has been corroded by negative energy. It seems that it is something that the ghost often wears.

Gabriel just took a look and ignored it. He just wanted to come here to set some rules with the other party, not to catch ghosts. Even if there was a gold brick on the ground, it had nothing to do with him.

"Let's go." Gabriel lifted Oliver up by the scruff of his neck and let him lie on his back in his arms. "You've soiled your costume, so you won't have your delicious snack tonight."

Samuel had been paying attention to the situation on Gabriel's side. When he saw Gabriel coming out with a cat in his arms, he immediately went to meet him.

"Xiao Fangzi, keep an eye on Oliver and don't let it run around again." Gabriel handed Oliver to Samuel and said in his heart, "Follow Samuel closely and call me if anything happens."

"Well, I will obey the Emperor's order," Samuel pushed his glasses and reluctantly cooperated with his own artist who was like a drama queen. He lowered his voice and reminded, "I think Director Xu's face is not very good. You should be more careful when you shoot later."

Although Gabriel has the Best Actor trophy in his hand, he has little experience and background, so they still have to be careful with directors like Henry.

"Okay, I know what I'm doing." Gabriel raised his eyes and looked in the direction of Henry. The smile that was on the other's face ten minutes ago disappeared completely, and now there was only a pale face.

Oh, Gabriel narrowed his eyes. What did he see?
