The Acting Ghost's True Intentions

After discovering that Qi Gu didn't like talking to many people, Butler Yi resolutely joined the group, walking alongside the two socially anxious female students, silently blending into their team like still water.

Not long after, they found six people. Qi Gu already had an assessment of the Acting Ghost's abilities in his heart, but he didn't feel that the Acting Ghost intended to harm people at all.

After all, the Acting Ghost eating people was no different from eating fruit jelly. There was absolutely no need to release them to eat, nor did it kill them, which showed that it had other plans.

Qi Gu's steps were no longer as hurried as before; his "salty fish" nature had fully revealed itself.

Lan Han Zhi also noticed this, took an orange-flavored jelly from his backpack, and offered it to Qi Gu: "Want some?"

A true wife would serve her husband perfectly from head to toe, very much like a child bride raised in old society.

Although, given Qi Gu's previous economic situation, he would only be coming to the door as a child bride.

【Bro, you're such a doting wife】

【Can't refute this, Empress Bro is indeed a doting wife】

【I feel like Empress Bro perfectly anticipated Whispers' psychology again. Whispers looked a bit surprised and delighted at the fruit jelly, as if wondering how Empress Bro knew he wanted to eat this】

【Ah ah ah, I feel the same way, upstairs, you described it so accurately!】

Jiang Hao Jie's fans: 【Just now you were urging Daoist Jiang to hurry up, now why are you eating yourself?】

【I feel like Whispers discovered something】

【Maybe it's because the Acting Ghost is lax, even live people it catches can just run out】

【Laughing to death, sure enough, only free ghosts who don't work can truly be lax. I haven't seen this kind of thing on living people, except for internet celebrities taking pictures】

【Thank you, the illusion shattered in an instant】

【Speechless, I'm still on duty at work right now emmm】

Jiang Hao Jie now harbored a deep-seated hatred for Qi Gu. He immediately seized upon Qi Gu's "slacking off" behavior and began to speak sarcastically: "Why are you eating now? Didn't you just have dinner before going out? Little Qi, you get hungry really fast."

Qi Gu was eating fruit. Lan Han Zhi didn't want Jiang Hao Jie to disturb his meal, so he chuckled and retorted sarcastically: "Daoist Jiang's comprehension ability doesn't seem to be very good, does it? Why do you think the Acting Ghost caught so many people but didn't kill a single one? Is it because it's been fasting recently?"

This had a bit of a "double entendre." Everyone knew that Jiang Hao Jie often posted pictures of himself fasting on Weibo, saying he was praying for unfortunate animals.

Jiang Hao Jie: "You……"

He wanted to say, "Don't go too far," but suddenly a sharp pain shot through his ribs. He violently squatted down, clutching the painful spot, only able to gasp for air.

Lan Han Zhi raised his hand towards the camera: "I didn't lay a hand on you, Daoist Jiang. Faking an injury isn't done by touching yourself like that."

The Ghost Cat smugly rubbed its face against the man's chest. It had just decided that as soon as Jiang Hao Jie started talking nonsense, it would make him feel the same pain that the animals had suffered before.

Then, before the live broadcast ended, it would expose Jiang Hao Jie's true colors in front of everyone.

"So cute!" The Ghost Cat raised its tail and was instantly noticed by the men, who eagerly started petting it.

Being showered with such enthusiasm dampened the Ghost Cat's momentum: "……"

Qi Gu threw the fruit peel into the trash can and pointed to the main house ahead: "If I remember correctly, the main house of the General's Manor was not actually where Mo Zhou lived. He provided this most spacious place for his parents, and he and his wife lived in another courtyard."

【Ah, I feel like there's no need to look here. After all, history says Mo Zhou's parents were very dissatisfied with his courtesan wife, so the courtesan wife definitely wouldn't have left any memories here】

【It's also possible, like bad memories ( )】

【I'll just say one thing, mother-in-law and daughter-in-law discord is mostly due to the husband's lack of virtue】

【Point】

Qi Gu had no intention of skipping the main house. He said, "The last time I came, the osmanthus in the courtyard was blooming, truly beautiful. I'll take you to see it."

Actually, osmanthus wasn't rare; it could be seen anywhere in the city. But because it was Qi Gu's memory of osmanthus, meaning Qi Gu wanted to share the osmanthus with him, the meaning was completely different.

Lan Han Zhi couldn't help but wonder, if he wanted to uproot this osmanthus tree and plant it at his own home, would the cultural relics management bureau agree?

That osmanthus tree shouldn't be a cultural relic, right?

Qi Gu looked at Lan Han Zhi, who rarely lowered his peach blossom eyes, and asked in surprise, "Why aren't you saying anything?"

"Thinking about where it would be more suitable to plant, the main residence or the Siheyuan..." Lan Han Zhi said instinctively.

Qi Gu: "?"

What's that? How could he not keep up with Lan Han Zhi's train of thought?

His friend was so strange.

However, strange was also very cute.

En.

Qi Gu said, "If you want to plant a tree, next time we can go to the flower and bird market together to choose. Do you want to plant a flowering tree or a fruit tree?"

Lan Han Zhi thought: Whether it's a flowering tree or a fruit tree, being able to see it with you is a good tree.

Then he opened his mouth: "Whatever you say."

Qi Gu thought seriously for a moment and friendly suggested: "How about a peach tree? If you plant one well, it can yield many fruits, and you won't need to buy peaches anymore."

【Qi Gu, I hate that you're such a blockhead!】

【No, I've already seen it, Qi Gu, I don't believe your eyes are empty!】

【One asks, one dares to answer……】

【Can someone please pierce the window paper for me ah ah ah ah ah I hate it】

【What kind of friend lets you decide what to plant at their house, Whispers! Mom needs you to wake up!】

【Whispers: Lan Han Zhi will】

【Damn, the upstairs doesn't sound like acting, I feel like Whispers really talks like that】

The two chatted about everything under the sun as they entered Mo Zhou's parents' main house. This main house was indeed very spacious, its area almost comparable to the deliberation hall, and it had an independent courtyard, equipped with a water pavilion and a gazebo. In the middle of the courtyard, the osmanthus tree only vaguely bore a few small flower buds; even approaching it, no scent could be detected.

It was only early September, indeed not yet the season for osmanthus to bloom.

Qi Gu felt a little regretful, but didn't think it was a big problem, "It's not blooming, huh? Then next time we'll go to the Osmanthus Garden. I heard there are many different varieties of osmanthus there. The downside is that after one trip, your body will smell strongly of osmanthus for three days before it fades."

It was Huang Hong Yuan, who had lived in the capital for many years, who kindly recommended it when he knew Qi Gu wanted to visit the capital.

Lan Han Zhi wasn't so dejected by the osmanthus not blooming on time, and in the very next second, he received a new invitation from Qi Gu.

Lan Han Zhi's originally downcast peach blossom eyes instantly sparkled, and he readily agreed: "Of course, that's great. Osmanthus smells wonderful, I love osmanthus the most. Three days of scent is nothing."
