This Japanese woman was obviously a smart person. She judged her current situation very correctly and knew that what Xia Shang said was not alarmist.
After a brief silence, Sakura took a deep breath, seemingly facing the next life with a new attitude, and then whispered something to herself.
"What did you say?" Xia Shang asked softly.
"Thank you for not killing me." Sakura explained.
Xia Shang smiled: "I advise you to calm down and stop thinking about unrealistic questions, Miss Yoshiko."
Sakura didn't see any change at first, but then she realized that the other person's name had changed unknowingly.
Miss Yoshiko...
Sakura suddenly realized the problem and stared at Xia Shang in shock, her eyes full of confusion.
"It's not just Japanese people who understand Chinese, there are also people in China who can understand your bird language."
After saying this, Sakura froze there.
Xia Shang didn't say anything more, got up and left the room.
Putting this Japanese woman aside for now, Xia Shang is going to find Xiao Keer.
He was wondering in his heart, why did Xiao Keer give up his room to a prisoner of war?
Xia Shang was walking in Xiao's house and met many maids along the way. After asking them about it, he finally found Xiao Ke'er in the study.
The study room was once used by the Xiao family. It has been idle since the Xiao family left.
Although there are people who come here to clean every now and then, because there are fewer people here, the area seems a bit deserted.
It was not too late yet, the study door was still open, and there was still a faint firelight inside.
Xia Shang walked directly in and found that the nanmu bench at the door was covered with simple mattresses and quilts. The desk not far away had nothing and was spotless.
There are shelves upon shelves of bookshelves in the study room, containing not only paper books, but also many ancient bamboo scrolls.
It can be seen that the old master of the Xiao family is a book lover.
The books on the bookshelf had just been sorted, and slight sounds could still be heard from inside the study room.
Xia Shang walked past a few shelves and saw Xiao Keer, who was sorting with a lamp in the back of the study.
Although she is wearing scholar's men's clothes, from the back, she still has the distinct silhouette of a girl.
Xia Shang arrived at Xiao Qiao
Behind Kerr, he patted her shoulder gently: "Hey!"
The sudden sound startled Xiao Keer, and she leaned forward and bumped into the bookshelf, causing the entire bookshelf to fall forward.
Xia Shang and Xiao Keer held on to both sides of the bookshelf at the same time. Unexpectedly, the two seemed to have a tacit understanding and actually grabbed the same position on both sides of the bookshelf.
Xiao Keer firmly grasped the bookshelf with both hands.
Then Xia Shang's body seemed to hold Xiao Keer's entire petite body in his arms from behind.
Xiao Ke'er still didn't know who the person appeared behind her, but when she looked back, the tip of her nose was right at Xia Shang's mouth...
Just such a gentle wipe, but like a hint of eye-catching heat in the cool night, the Xiao family lady with a masculine elegance suddenly became much more feminine.
"Um……"
There was a slightly uncomfortable groan, and the glistening eyes were full of complaints. However, after knowing that it was Xia Shang, he no longer panicked. His eyes flickered as close as the stars falling on his face, and his eyelashes gently
You can clearly feel it on your face.
This kind of contact made the atmosphere seem wrong, even if the two of them were hugging each other across a quilt the night before...
But that was the feeling of being in deep sleep, which was completely different from the clear feeling at this moment.
Perhaps he had lived in the girl's boudoir for a while and had already become accustomed to the smell of the girl. At this moment, the close contact and the familiar smell made Xia Shang enjoy it very much and couldn't help but sniff.
At this moment, Xiao Keer came back to her senses, quickly shrank her neck, and leaned her face to the side: "Why don't you let go?"
Xia Shang also came to his senses, let go of his hand, and pretended to hold the bookshelf steady.
The little ambiguity disappeared in an instant, and Xiao Keer's face returned to normal. She stood in front of Xia Shang and looked at him suspiciously: "Why are you here?"
"Why can't I come?"
“Where is your exotic beauty?
"I was about to ask you, what's going on over there? Who asked you to clean her and throw her on the bed?"
"Of course someone arranged it. The woman said to be Lord Xia must have been arranged. She is just a commoner, how can she go against Lord Xia's wishes?"
"That's not what I meant at all!"
"Why did you send it to Xiao's house if it wasn't your intention?
?You are so rude, you really treat the Xiao family as your own, even sending women here!"
"This..." Xia Shang was speechless.
Looking at Xia Shang, Xiao Ke'er smiled half-heartedly: "If you don't enjoy the beauty, why would you come to this unpopular study here?"
"What can you enjoy and not enjoy? Don't be so sensitive!"
Xiao Keer blushed and defended loudly: "Who is sensitive? You are the one who is sensitive!"
After saying that, Xiao Keer came up to Xia Shang and smelled the smell on Xia Shang's body. She felt that there was not much other smell, and her expression softened: "You left without doing anything?"
"What can I do? That woman is a prisoner of war! For such a simple thing, I have a lot to ask her if I leave her behind."
"That's pretty much it." Xiao Keer held one hand behind her back and gently poked Xia Shang's chest with the other hand, like the girl next door.
"That woman is not simple. She may be a relatively noble woman in the Japanese country. If you keep her, she may become a bargaining chip for us to threaten the Japanese pirates in the future. But the premise is that her identity and location cannot be exposed. I am prepared to keep her with you.
Let her be your maid, understand?"
Xiao Keer frowned: "I don't like that foreign woman!"
"It's not a question of whether you like her or not. I feel more at ease keeping her by your side."
These words made Xiao Ke'er feel a little happy. She glanced at Xia Shang lightly and pretended to be serious: "If it is really so important, I will reluctantly agree. But I am not a free labor force. You have to thank me in the future.
."
"Okay, as long as you keep an eye on that woman, it will be easy to talk about in the future." Xia Shang simply nodded, thought for a moment and then reminded, "That woman is not particularly honest, so you should watch her closely and don't let her get away."
Xiao Keer also nodded.
Xia Shang looked at the study and didn't know what to say if he stayed: "I'll leave if I have nothing else to do."
Before he could move, Xiao Keer grabbed him and said, "Let's go? Where are you going?"
"It's getting late, so of course I have to go to bed."
Displeasure was immediately written on Xiao Keer's face: "Returning to the pomegranate skirt of a foreign woman? Didn't you say you have no intention?"
"Well... I really forgot if you didn't tell me. I... I'd better go back to the military camp."
Seeing Xia Shang's embarrassed look, Xiao Ke'er smiled softly: "You can stay and sleep with me in the study."
