"I will use both hands to hold the towel and wipe it carefully." Xiao Shi's defense was impeccable.
——Even though he was already at home base, he didn’t even give me any benefits. This wife is really stingy.
Xiao Shi: "By the way, after you take a bath, I'll clean your ears!"
"Xiao Shi, I love you, you are so great!" Masha said, and then went to take a shower happily.
**
At about two o'clock in the afternoon, Masha was pulled out of his dream.
He looked at Xiao Shi who woke him up in confusion: "What's wrong? Didn't you agree to let me get some sleep?"
"But Jeanne has been sitting outside the store for nearly two hours."
"There are two of you sitting under her buttocks?" Masha was shocked and looked at Xiao Shi, "So you are the third one? Do you have many backups like Rei Ayanami?"
Xiao Shi gently pushed Masha's shoulder, and then sang the reincarnation of souls in an enka voice: "Private memories return memories をたどり..."
"Why is it in enka style?" Masha laughed.
"Because I'm good at singing. Everything can sing." Xiao Shi said seriously, and then he couldn't help laughing. "Hurry up, put on your clothes and go meet the people."
"Open the door and let her in."
"You're the store manager. You said you wouldn't open the store today. We didn't even pull up the shutters to prevent any customers from misunderstanding that we would be open today. However, the customers are now sitting in the coffee shop across the street and watching Jeanne."
Masha raised an eyebrow: "Jeanne is indeed very beautiful, but what is the point of watching Jeanne?"
"She was sitting at the door, singing with a guitar," Xiao Shi said, "so I couldn't help singing a few words just now."
——What the hell is this French girl doing?
Masha quickly got up, took Shelley's legs away from her waist, got out of bed, quickly put on her clothes, and followed Xiao Shi out of the world in the car - before going to bed, Masha connected the island wonderland and the world in the car together, and the grassland wonderland was now closed and empty.
As soon as he entered the store, Masha saw Hongye and Hua Gu Shuang sitting near the door.
"What are you two doing?" Masha asked curiously.
"Study, Sister Xiao Shi is teaching us."
"The math teaching process in Japan is different from ours, right?" Masha looked at Xiao Shi, "Can you handle it?"
"I teach them English," Xiao Shi said. "I studied liberal arts in Japanese high school, so I can't really teach math. But as for English, as long as you don't let me speak it, I'm very good at it!"
——It turns out that the Japanese are very aware of their English pronunciation!
At this time, Masha heard the melodious sound of guitar coming from outside, followed by a beautiful voice like a lark.
"So the reason we didn't hear the singing just now was because she was having a halftime break?" asked Masha.
Hongye replied, "Yes, Jeanne's singing is so beautiful. Although I don't understand a word of it, I find it even more beautiful."
Hua Gu Shuang: "Just now she didn't sing any lyrics, she just hummed a part, and I thought it was so beautiful."
"By the way, Ren Na originally came here to deliver X from a thousand miles away, right?" Hongye continued, "I remember she said so herself when she first came here, her mission is to fall in love with you and then seduce you away. Why don't you just do as she wishes, Tuima?"
"I'm not the kind of casual man." Masha said, "It's not like I have to eat any pretty girl. That's too shameless."
——In fact, the magic weapon does not recognize false love, so every time you pick up a girl, you have to be serious.
——To be honest, after winning over so many girls in a row, Masha is a little tired and wants to take a breath before continuing his romance and love.
——I’m really tired. I don’t want to play real-life MC.
Masha took out the remote control and opened the rolling shutter.
Xiao Shi suddenly laughed: "I feel that this scene is a bit like the plot in the myth where Amaterasu hides herself."
A famous plot in Japanese mythology, Amaterasu suddenly became a recluse and hid herself away, unwilling to come out. So the gods showed their magical powers, held banquets and performances, and used various interesting activities to lure Amaterasu out.
This is probably the story.
Masha knew all this because a book artist turned this story into a book, and it was a very practical one.
Outside the store, Jeanne sat on the steps at the door, playing and singing with a guitar in her hands.
She didn't even look back, as if she hadn't noticed that the store door was open.
Masha opened the glass door and stood behind her. She didn't look back and continued to sing the song that had already begun with concentration, her slender fingers dancing on the guitar strings.
Masha leaned against the door frame, his arms folded across his chest, waiting patiently for the girl to finish singing.
After the song ended, Jeanne turned around and gave Masha a sweet smile.
Then she spoke a string of French words in rapid succession.
Of course, Masha didn't understand a word he said.
To capture this girl, you have to overcome the language barrier first.
In fact, Masha has already been learning French, but recently he has too many other things to do and cannot focus on it.
"Jeanne," said Massa to Jeanne, "you will teach me French."
Jeanne tilted her head, obviously not understanding, but she still showed an invincible smile, as if that was enough to win any man's heart.
——Maybe she really has this magic power.

Two updates today, and I still owe more starting tomorrow.
Chapter 418 Let’s Sing (Part )
As for Jeanne, Marsha always felt that he could not figure her out.
Maybe it's because this girl is a true artist, and her way of thinking and code of conduct are naturally incompatible with Masha.
In any case, it is definitely a good idea to resolve the language barrier first.
Maybe in the process of overcoming the language barrier, I can build enough mutual bonds with Jeanne and successfully include her in the KFC luxury lunch.
Masha wanted to pull Jeanne up from the ground first, so he stretched out his hand.
The French girl immediately held Masha's hand, but as soon as she stood up, she took the initiative and pulled Masha towards her.
This completely unexpected reaction caught Masha off guard, and he almost threw himself into her arms. However, the moment Masha controlled his body, he regretted it. He should have thrown himself in directly because the girl must have been very soft.
Besides, isn't this a common way to increase favorability in comics? That cartoonist who praises Taro, the protagonist is a walking falling machine, and every time he falls, he gains something.
——Maybe, this is how I should treat Jeanne? After all, she is a passionate French girl.
Masha couldn't help but recall the shock he felt when he first saw the quiet Don River and learned about the simple customs of the Cossacks.
There is a plot in "Quiet Flows the Don" where a Cossack girl and boy will attend a party after they become adults. If any of them fall in love with each other, they will embrace their youth - in the most direct way.
Masha is a good young man who grew up under the red flag. He has never seen anything like this before. It completely refreshed his worldview.
Jeanne is a French girl, she should be more open-minded.
If you think about it carefully, the British girl Shelley is actually quite open-minded and has a tsundere personality.
Masha was daydreaming when the French girl let go of his hand and watched him play the guitar and sing: "Magic Circles..."
"Stop! STOP!" Masha shouted, "Wait a minute, who poisoned you?"
Jeanna tilted her head, definitely not understanding.
**
Stanislas clapped his hands vigorously. "Great! He finally responded to our Jeanne! This shows that our strategy is correct! Give me the microphone!"
Stanislas grabbed the microphone from Auguste and said, "Jeanne, very good! Let's continue with our plan. Let's play Seaweed, Seaweed. I know you don't like this kind of music, but we have to consider the target's appreciation level. This is a sacrifice that must be made!"
**
Masha was wondering what Jeanne was doing when she suddenly started singing again: "Seaweed, seaweed, swaying in the wind~"
The scene in front of Masha now was this: Jeanne, a girl with a gorgeous aura who made people imagine her wearing a popular evening dress from the Bourbon era even when she was not wearing an evening gown, was singing Seaweed, Seaweed.
Her pronunciation was terrible and it took a lot of effort to make out that she was speaking Chinese. It was obvious that she had never learned Chinese. Someone just gave her a copy of Zhuyin and asked her to recite it.
This strange pronunciation made the whole scene even more bizarre.
Not only that, Jeanne also swayed her body to the rhythm, but she seemed a little resistant to the song and swayed very stiffly.
This scene was so magical that Masha quietly threw a 1D100 in his mind for rational evaluation.
**
Stanislas swayed his bald head to the music, saying, "Once you accept this setting, this song is actually not that unpleasant. It's much better than Starbucks' mud coffee."
"But Jeanne looks unhappy." August said worriedly, "Will forcing her to sing a song she doesn't like have the opposite effect? After all, she is actually quite an artist..."
"She is working now. Work is not a happy thing. No French person will smile happily when working, Auguste. Especially you, who is frowning all the time."
"I was born with this face."
Stanislas was about to reply when he heard Masha say, "Stop! What's wrong with you today?"
Stanislas did not even look for an interpreter. He gave Jeanne, who had stopped singing, a new instruction: "Come on, sing and meow like a cat. Meow, meow, meow, meow. The Japanese must have used this trick to get ahead of us. They are the best at this."
Stanislas said, and gave August a cat-paw expression: "Meow~"
"Oh, God!" Augustus crossed himself. "May God forgive us."
**
Masha watched Jeanne begin to sing the famous meow with a pronunciation that was not even close to being read.
——This French girl suddenly became addicted to TikTok and speeded up her video?
——Is China's Tuhai culture exporting to France? But Douyin seems to be very popular abroad...
——Or is it that Jeanne’s hometown, Montargis, is also a rustic countryside in France?
Masha doesn't have any prejudice against Tuhai. After all, the old generation of Tuhai is represented by Phoenix Legend and the like. After abandoning the prejudice, you will find that the melody of the song is actually not bad.
Some songs are annoying not because they are corny but because they are not nice to listen to.
Songs like "My Good Brother" and "We Are Different" first became popular on Kuaishou and other places. After listening to them many times, you will find that the songs are actually quite good.
——Could it be that Seaweed Seaweed and Meow Meow are actually very accomplished in music? That's why they were favored by the French artist Jeanne?
——No, this girl is obviously not happy.
At this moment, Masha suddenly noticed that the girl seemed to be listening to someone's instructions for a moment.
So Masha made a very decisive decision. He stared into Jeanne's eyes and stretched out his hand.
"My hands go through your black hair, my eyes go through your mood..."
He hummed softly a song that had been popular before he was born, and ran his hand through Jeanne's golden hair, stroking his fingers across her cheek.
Jeanne looked at Marsha. Obviously, this action was beyond her expectation. She was originally unhappy, but now the corners of her mouth curled up, and she seemed to be full of curiosity about what Marsha was going to do.
Masha touched Jeanne's ear directly and found that she was wearing headphones.
He took off his headphones and raised his hand to throw it away.
But the headset turned out to be wired. Masha pulled up the main body of the walkie-talkie hanging on Jeanne's body with force, but it was obviously fixed to some part of Jeanne's clothes.
Jeanne screamed and pressed her hands on the front of her clothes.
But the hem of the dress had rolled up, revealing her mermaid line.
"I'm sorry." Masha immediately let go of the headphones in his hand and subconsciously stepped forward to help Jeanna tidy up her clothes - only after he started did he realize that this might not be a good idea.
But stopping halfway would be even more embarrassing, so Masha calmly helped Jeanne tidy up her clothes like a real veteran.
The girl took out the walkie-talkie from her body and handed it to Masha with a smile.
Masha ended up still wearing the intercom with the warmth of a young girl, looking at Jeanne.
The girl's clothes were still a little messy, so she looked less dignified and more charming than before.
She picked up the guitar again and looked at Masha.
Masha guessed that the girl's mission today was to sing for Masha, and she planned to continue carrying out this mission.
So Masha decided to order a song.
If you order "Camel Bells", the girl will definitely not understand what it means, and she probably won't be able to sing it.
So Masha decided to order some songs that the girl would definitely be able to sing, and the song titles Masha could say the girl would also understand.
