Crossover Anime: A Musical Anime - Lighthearted and Enjoyable

Oh, right, so I should also thank Lixi, as he composed the music.

"Thank you, Lantern."

Seeing that Takamatsu Akari seemed to have finished speaking, Shiraaki took a deep breath, put down her chopsticks, and said earnestly, "I really like the lyrics to 'Boku wa...', and this is the first time I've received such a special gift."

"I will..."

As Bai Qiu spoke, he almost uttered some heavy words.

It doesn't seem appropriate to say that in front of a lamp.

But under the expectant gaze of the little penguin, he had no choice but to bite the bullet and continue.

"I will remember this for the rest of my life."

Sure enough, Takamatsu Teng followed with a delighted smile.

"Yes! I'm glad Qiu likes it."

Is this your first time...?

That's great, Qiu's first time was with her.

Then, could there be a second time, a third time... until the end of a lifetime?

After leaving that topic behind, Takamatsu Akari looked at the empty chair next to her and said with some concern, "Aine-chan, it seems like you're sick."

Bai Qiu nodded and looked at the empty chair. "I plan to go see Ai Yin after school."

"I'll go with Qiu."

Upon hearing this, Gao Songdeng eagerly turned his body to the side, his head following suit, his gaze fixed directly on Gao Songdeng's face.

Bai Qiu hesitated for a moment.

Deng's throat is still very hoarse today, probably from overexerting himself during the live performance.

"Why don't you go home and rest? Your voice isn't better yet. I can go by myself."

Takamatsu touched his throat, his eyelids slightly lowered, "I'm sorry..."

Bai Qiu was both amused and exasperated. She raised her hand and gently rubbed her head, as if comforting a wounded little animal.

"Why should I apologize? You didn't do anything wrong."

Like the warm touch of spring sunshine coming from above, despite still feeling a little regretful, Gao Songdeng cheered up and said softly:

"Then I'll get my voice back as soon as possible."

Bai Qiu embarked on her journey to Ai Yin's house.

The reason we didn't let Deng go was because his voice hadn't fully recovered.

Bai Qiu felt that Aine might not only be physically unwell, but might also be blaming herself for the live performance.

Chihaya Aine lay on her side on the soft bed.

Her face was somewhat pale, and her usually luscious and alluring lips now showed faint signs of dryness and cracking.

Because I'm sick.

When Ai Yin woke up this morning, she felt unwell and her head was dizzy.

After taking my temperature, sure enough, I had a fever.

In this condition, it's definitely impossible to go to school.

Fortunately, her mother was at home taking care of her, so she wasn't all alone.

Her face and eyes were fixed on her phone, which showed little energy, and the screen displayed her chat window with Bai Qiu.

The chat history stopped on the day of the live stream.

A little above that is the intimate photo of her and Bai Qiu.

The photo looks very warm and cozy, as if happiness is about to overflow from it.

That night, Chihaya Aine thought of setting this photo as the background of her chat with Shiraaki, so that she could see it every time she opened the chat window.

Now, however, Aine no longer has that courage.

If Bai Qiu already has a girlfriend, then wouldn't her behavior be just wishful thinking?

Thinking of this, Chihaya Aine couldn't help but bite her dry lips, her gray eyes revealing loneliness and inner turmoil.

Further down the chat history are encouraging messages Bai Qiu sent her before the live stream started.

Unfortunately, Aine didn't see this message before the live performance started.

If she had seen it then, maybe she wouldn't have been distracted and made the mistake.

Bai Qiu: [Ai Yinyin, even if you're not standing in the center of the stage, there will still be people watching you.]

Aine... Just seeing that name made Chihaya Aine feel even hotter, her already burning body.

To encourage her, Qiuqiu actually called her that.

Hmm... I really want to hear him say it from his own lips.

Chihaya Aine even mentally punctuated it like this: Aine/Aine.

Ah, just thinking about it is so embarrassing!

Her already slightly curled-up body curled up even more, and she couldn't help but squeeze the blanket tighter, burying her head and all the blanket under the covers.

Chihaya Aine, who had reappeared, took a few breaths of fresh air, but her once rosy cheeks returned to a state of dejection.

Bai Qiu sent her some encouragement, but she still made some basic mistakes during the live stream.

Although no one blamed her, she almost caused everyone to fail the test of the Tsuzuki Poetry Ship.

Looking back, Chihaya Aine still feels guilty and doesn't know how to face everyone.

It must have disappointed Bai Qiu a lot.

Otherwise, she would have taken the day off.

Even Tomorin messaged her to check on her, so why didn't Bai Qiu message her?

Although she knew in her heart that this was just an unnecessary thought on her part.

But even though she was sick, Chihaya Aine couldn't help but want to receive Shiraaki's care.

At that moment, the somewhat dimmed phone screen suddenly lit up again.

Upon seeing this, Aine's eyes suddenly narrowed.

Bai Qiu: [Are you feeling better? I'll be at your house soon.]

The message was instantly marked as read.

Immediately afterwards, a noise came from outside the door.

Chapter 188 Neighbors from the Same World, Xiangzi Living Together

The message was quickly marked as read, which surprised Bai Qiu slightly.

Is Chihaya Aine spying on him?

Mrs. Chihaya opened the door to greet Bai Qiu.

He handed over the gifts and fruit to Mrs. Chihaya during her visit.

He was then led to the door of Aine's room by the overly enthusiastic Mrs. Chihaya, who then opened the door for him.

"Please take care of Aine, I have other things to do." Mrs. Chihaya said.

"Okay," Bai Qiu replied, then looked into the room and reminded, "Aiyin, I'm coming in."

Chihaya Aine, still wearing her pajamas, suddenly sat up in bed, her pale face filled with surprise and confusion.

Why so fast?

Didn't Qiuqiu just send the message? How come I'm already at her room door in the blink of an eye?

Although this made her somewhat happy, she was relieved that Qiuqiu had arrived just as she was thinking of her, proving that she still cared about her.

But this leaves her with absolutely no time to prepare.

"Qiu, wait, wait a moment."

Chihaya Aine jumped off the bed in a hurry, frantically waving her arms to stop Shiraaki from advancing.

"What's wrong?" Bai Qiu stopped and asked curiously, "You have a fever, why did you get out of bed?"

"He wasn't wearing shoes or socks either; be careful that his condition doesn't worsen."

Bai Qiu lowered her gaze and noticed that Ai Yin was standing barefoot on the floor.

"Because...I..."

Chihaya Aine stammered.

She couldn't bring herself to say the reason!

Except for lunchtime, she spent the whole day resting in bed, huddled under the covers, and took fever-reducing medication, so she must have sweated a lot.

It would be terrible if someone smelled an unpleasant odor.

"Qiuqiu, don't get too close, you'll catch it from me."

Chihaya Aine strained her throat, and her voice became somewhat hoarse.

"That's it?" Bai Qiu smiled slightly, waved his hand dismissively, and said:

"Don't worry, I'm perfectly healthy. Besides, if I was afraid of catching it from you, I wouldn't have come in."

Chihaya Aine felt a sudden warmth in her heart, but she didn't lower her hand.

"Be careful not to fall."

Seeing that Ai Yin was still so active despite having a cold, Bai Qiu sighed and advised, "You should go back to bed and rest."

"By the way, Deng was supposed to come with me, but her throat wasn't feeling too good either, so I sent her home to rest."

Bai Qiu never forgot the sentiment conveyed by the lamp.

"...Okay, okay."

Chihaya Aine forced a smile.

Then, like a startled rabbit, she quickly hid back under the covers and wrapped herself up tightly.

Her cheeks flushed slightly; given the current situation, Chihaya Aine was too embarrassed to tell Shiraaki:

Could she wait a moment before coming up? She said she wanted to take a shower and change her clothes first.

Pulling a chair over from the room and sitting on the edge of the bed, Bai Qiu said softly:

"Auntie said you had a fever. What was it? How are you now?"

"I...I'm much better. My temperature was 38℃ this morning," Chihaya Ai said in a barely audible voice.

Bai Qiu nodded, then frowned slightly, her face showing worry and confusion.

"How could you suddenly have a fever? You were perfectly fine the day before yesterday."

However, illnesses like colds and fevers often arrive without warning, frequently catching people off guard.

Seeing that the fever-reducing patch on Aiyin's forehead was wrinkled, it must have been there for quite some time.

Fortunately, there were new ones and a temperature gun on the table.

Bai Qiu picked it up and said, "The fever-reducing patch is a bit wrinkled. I'll replace it with a new one for you. It will be more effective that way."

"Um... thank you, Qiuqiu."

Chihaya Aine murmured, her eyes fixed on Haku's every move.

It feels so good to be cared for.

Having a fever doesn't seem so bad, hehe!

Bai Qiu had already peeled off the fever-reducing patch from Ai Yin's forehead, revealing her smooth forehead, and then used a thermometer to take her temperature again.

"37.5 degrees Celsius, still a slight fever, should be almost better by tomorrow."
