Chitanda Eru nodded curiously and looked at Kiriharu.
She was really looking forward to hearing Wu Qing's singing.
The song I just heard sounded really nice, but the melody was too sad.
I wonder what Wu Qing would be like singing other songs.
Boqi-chan didn't say anything.
But judging from her rather serious expression at this moment, she is also looking forward to it.
Despite being socially awkward, Boqi is very brave when it comes to music!
Wu Qing looked at the expectant expressions on the faces of the two pretty girls.
I couldn't help but feel a little uneasy.
Because he hasn't forgotten his past as a terrible singer.
Sometimes when watching anime, I can't help but hum along to the theme song. Everyone who hears it either gasps in shock or looks extremely confused and speechless.
However, there's nothing to be afraid of now.
Wu Qing gave herself a little encouragement in her heart.
Then, he parted his lips slightly, and the beautiful singing began from that moment.
"In a hazy, dreamlike state, cracks appear in the surface of my heart, a dull ache lingering... The clock, traversing time, begins to move in reverse, returning to the time when I loved you, freezing the moment in time—infidelity..."
The singing was indescribably beautiful, and the understated sadness struck straight to the heart.
And in order for the two girls to understand.
Wu Qing's lyrics are half in her native language and half in Japanese.
The two girls, who initially couldn't understand the meaning, were immediately stunned by the easy-to-understand yet meaningful lyrics after Wu Qing switched to Japanese mode.
A few seconds after Wu Qing finished singing.
Chitanda Eru was still staring wide-eyed at Kirisho, because at that moment she was carefully savoring the lyrics of the song in her mind.
Until Goto Ichiri said something nice.
She finally returned to reality with a slight twitch, opened her pair of amethyst-like eyes and looked at Wu Qing, her pink lips parting slightly, "It was indeed very beautiful. Wu Qing, you were just singing Qin-style Chinese, weren't you? You can speak both Russian and Chinese, how many secrets are you still hiding?"
Chitanda Eru discovers that there seems to be an endless secret about Kiriharu.
"you guess?"
Wu Qing did not answer directly.
This answer made Chitanda Eru's heart itch with curiosity.
Wu Qingyue did not answer.
The more she wanted to know, the more she wanted to know.
But now is clearly not the time to press the issue to the bottom.
After all, I'll be starting work soon.
"Hmph, Wu Qing is so annoying!"
Chitanda Eru put her hands on her hips, pouted, and said coquettishly.
Wu Qing, however, smiled cheerfully and did not answer.
After this little episode ended, having earned enough money and no longer wanting to work, Goto Ichiri bid farewell to Kiriharu and Chitanda Eru.
Before she left.
Wu Qing also told her to be quiet when she went back to pack.
Do not wake Aoyama and Nanami.
After Goto Ichiri left, and with Aoyama Nanami resting today, only Kiriharu and Chitanda Eru remained at the scene.
"Phew, we're the only ones left today!"
Chitanda Eru looked at the endless cornfield and said.
Upon hearing this, Kiriharu, who was bending down to pick up the snakeskin bag, nodded. At the same time, she straightened up and looked at Chitanda Eru, saying, "Eru-kun, there's something I'd like to discuss with you about Nanami's salary."
"Hmm, what's wrong?"
Chitanda Eru was taken aback, unsure of Kiriharu's meaning.
Then, Wu Qing explained it to her.
Upon hearing that Kiriharu planned to take over Nanami's work and have the Chitanda family give Aoyama Nanami two days' wages for some reason, Chitanda Eru smiled gently.
"Wu Qing is so kind. Are you like this to every girl?"
"of course not."
Wu Qing gave a straightforward answer.
He would lend a helping hand to someone in trouble, but he wouldn't go to such lengths for someone he doesn't know well. And why does he dote on Nanami so much? Does he need a reason?
Nanami is now undeniably his woman. Even if Nanami doesn't like being helped and prefers to rely on her own strength, Kiriharu still has to help her.
Firstly, this is his future wife.
Secondly, it's because Nanami couldn't get up today, which is directly related to him.
Yes, directly related; he's just too much of a troublemaker...
But to help Nanami, some white lies are needed.
Otherwise, given Aoyama Nanami's personality, she wouldn't accept this form of help.
After telling Chitanda Eru what he was thinking, Chitanda Eru readily agreed, because she was also a very kind-hearted person.
Upon hearing about Nanami's deeds from Wu Qing's words, she was both surprised and filled with admiration; she had never known these things before...
"Is that so? Wu Qing isn't like that with every girl..."
Chitanda Eru sensed something else in her words, and her heart inexplicably clenched.
He doesn't treat every girl this way, but he's been incredibly helpful to Nanami.
The relationship between Kiriharu and Nanami must be quite extraordinary.
If that's the case, would Wu Qing do something for him?
If one day she herself falls into a predicament or encounters certain problems, would Wu Qing also try to help her as meticulously as she did with Nanami?
Chitanda Eru couldn't help but become curious about this question.
"Misty Clearing..."
Chitanda Eru looked up at Kirishi, who was preparing to work, but when Kirishi turned her head to wait for her to speak, there were some questions she couldn't bring herself to ask.
"What's wrong?" Wu Qing asked Ke, clutching the snakeskin bag.
Chitanda Eru pursed her lips, smiled, and shook her cute little head.
"It's nothing, I just wanted to call your name."
"You've been like this since last night. Anyway, it's getting late, time to get to work."
As she spoke, Wu Qing began to bury herself in her work, her efficiency still astonishing.
Watching Kiriharu's focused and busy figure, Chitanda Eru tightly gripped the left side of her clothes, feeling an indescribable flutter in her heart.
She was curious about what this feeling was like, but for now, she should focus on work.
Chapter 158: So You're Not Japanese After All
Unlike the noisy workshop, the office is filled with the constant sound of keyboards clicking.
There is a kind of tranquility that is refreshing and pleasant when doing farm work.
At first, Wu Qing sped up and finished harvesting a whole batch of corn. On the second batch, he decided to slow down to prevent himself from working too hard and leaving no work for others.
After all, there's still one day left.
On the second trip, Kirishin slowed down and worked slowly with Chitanda Eru, gradually making their way towards the end.
"Wow, people in ancient times were so amazing!"
"Of course, in the Central Plains... no, in the Qin Dynasty, there were many unexpected inventions in ancient times, such as the armillary sphere..."
To relieve loneliness while working.
Chitanda Eru kept asking all sorts of questions.
But Wu Qing was able to answer all of them.
Right now, they're talking about how people lived in ancient times.
"Wu Qing seems to know a lot about the history of the Qin state."
Chitanda Eru thought that Kiriharu was practically an expert on the Qin state.
However, she was only a little surprised, but not strange.
Because the Qin state was the suzerain state of Japan, it had already effectively ruled most of Asia thousands of years ago. However, due to the inconvenience of crossing the sea in ancient times, island nations like Japan were left as autonomous regions, and this has been the case for thousands of years.
It has been an autonomous region for thousands of years.
Japan has always retained a culture similar to, yet different from, that of the Qin Dynasty.
Therefore, many people from the Qin state would choose Japan as their first travel destination.
For people from the Qin state, traveling to Japan is like visiting a province in their own country, except across the sea. After all, it's an autonomous province, and they can also experience a different culture.
Well, Wu Qing already knew about the Qin Dynasty's rule over Asia when she was a child and did anti-history things, so she wasn't particularly surprised.
In its previous life, the Yuan Dynasty wanted to conquer Japan, but was stopped by a strong wind.
In parallel worlds of different dimensions, anything can happen.
Don't forget that ancient China was always one of the world's hegemons (CG), and in many ways, it was the only one. If nothing unexpected happens, taking over Japan would be too easy.
"How did the people of the ancient Qin state beat the summer heat?"
Chitanda Eru asked with great curiosity.
