Crossover Anime: A Musical Anime - Lighthearted and Enjoyable

"Hey, aren't you home? But I heard from the office that you didn't have any work scheduled today and were taking a break."

"Even if I don't have a job, I might not be at home!"

Miao Meng smiled and answered quickly.

That sounds perfectly reasonable.

Toyokawa Shoko said somewhat helplessly, "Then when will you come back? Bai Qiu and I can wait for you."

Miaomeng paused for a moment, then lowered her voice and whispered:

"Xiangzi, actually I'm taking acting classes outside, that's why I'm speaking so softly now. I'll probably be back quite late."

"That's it..."

Toyokawa Shoko's tone was somewhat helpless.

At this moment, Bai Qiu, who was standing next to Xiangzi, couldn't help but feel suspicious.

Because Xiangzi's phone was on speakerphone, he heard the entire conversation between the two.

Bai Qiu felt something was off from the moment Miao Meng said she wasn't home.

If Miaomeng wasn't home, how did she know that she and Xiangzi had come to see him together?

When Xiangzi answered the phone, he didn't mention that he had come too.

But Miaomeng's answer was the same as if she had seen him.

Bai Qiu was puzzled until he looked up again and noticed the camera with a flashing red dot above his head.

Bai Qiu's eyes brightened slightly, and she suddenly understood something.

Could it be that Miaomeng was inside the house and used this camera to see him and Xiangzi come together?

Then, because he didn't want to see them, he said he wasn't home.

Bai Qiu thought about it more and more and felt that this was true.

What a liar and naughty cat...

At this moment, Bai Qiu said to Xiangzi, who seemed to be in a dilemma, "Xiangzi, give me your phone."

Toyokawa Shoko tilted her head and subconsciously handed the phone to Bai Qiu.

Bai Qiu's lips curled up slightly, and then a light, airy voice came from his mouth:

"Meow Dream, are you really not home, or are you just pretending?"

Hearing Bai Qiu's voice suddenly change on the phone and hearing this question, Miao Meng was startled, but she still tried to remain calm.

Miaomeng chuckled softly:

"Haha, Bai Qiu, what are you talking about! Of course I'm really not home."

"Oh, is that so?"

This time, Bai Qiu's voice was full of teasing.

"Of course!"

Miaomeng forced herself to speak.

Since the lie has already been told, the only option is to persevere with it.

Upon hearing Bai Qiu's words, even Toyokawa Shoko looked at Bai Qiu with great confusion and couldn't help but ask:

"Bai Qiu, do you mean Miao Meng is at home?"

"Mm." Bai Qiu nodded with a smile.

Toyokawa Shoko blinked, still not understanding.

"But... how did you know?"

Miao Meng on the other end of the phone also fell silent, seemingly waiting for Bai Qiu to give a reasonable explanation.

Bai Qiu let out a long sigh and gave his reason:

“Meow Dream, when you first answered Xiangzi’s call, Xiangzi didn’t mention that I was here too.”

"But after you said you weren't home, you asked me and Xiangzi to go back together. How do you explain that?"

After hearing Bai Qiu's explanation, Toyokawa Shoko recalled the contents of the previous call and immediately understood.

"Meow Dream, you lied to me??"

Shoko Toyokawa couldn't help but exclaim in surprise at her phone, then gritted her teeth inwardly.

That naughty cat, Bai Qiu and I will definitely torture her severely later.

Hearing Xiangzi's questioning voice, Miaomeng subconsciously moved away from her phone.

"that is because……"

"Because of what?"

"Because you two are usually together all the time..." Miao Meng muttered softly.

"Do you think Xiangzi and I will still believe you?" Bai Qiu said irritably. "Alright, open the door now."

"Or perhaps, dear Meow Dream..."

Bai Qiu's tone suddenly turned hurt as she said, "Is this how you treat me, your business partner? Turning me out of the door."

Meanwhile, in the room, Miaomeng heard Bai Qiu say such things, even bringing up the term "partner".

How could she possibly leave Bai Qiu outside like that!

So Miaomeng shook her head in frustration, and finally shouted into the phone:

"I understand, I'll open the door for you!"

Chapter 359 Xiangzi's Test

A short while after the phone call ended, the door opened.

Bai Qiu and Feng Chuan Xiangzi also saw Miao Meng, whose smile seemed somewhat awkward.

As for Miaomeng... feeling the scrutinizing gazes from Bai Qiu and Fengchuan Xiangzi, she couldn't help but shiver.

The two men looked at her as if they were about to torture her, and Miaomeng felt a little uneasy, so she smiled ingratiatingly and said:

"You two have been waiting for a long time... Please come in, welcome to Miaomeng's home."

Upon hearing this, Toyokawa Shoko's lips twitched slightly.

She glanced at Miaomeng with a subtle look, thinking to herself, "This naughty cat, its mood changes so quickly!"

Just now on the phone, she kept making excuses, but after Bai Qiu exposed her lies, she said she was welcome to come to her house as a guest.

Why weren't I so enthusiastic towards her just now? Humph!

However, Miao Meng's lying behavior made Fengchuan Xiangzi even more convinced that Miao Meng was guilty of something, otherwise why wouldn't she dare to see her and Bai Qiu?

"Okay, excuse me."

Bai Qiu glanced at Miao Meng with a half-smile, then went inside while responding.

"Please make yourselves at home, I'll go get you some drinks."

After saying something to the two of them, Miaomeng turned around and walked towards the refrigerator in the room.

Bai Qiu and Feng Chuan Xiangzi nodded, their gazes shifting from Miao Meng to observing her room.

The only places to sit were Miaomeng's bed, the round chair in front of the drum set, and finally a long sofa.

Bai Qiu and Xiangzi tacitly chose to sit on the sofa.

To Bai Qiu's surprise, Miao Meng's room was just a single room, which looked quite exquisite and had all the necessary amenities.

He just felt that, given Miaomeng's circumstances, she could probably live in a better place.

Furthermore, this simple and unpretentious style is somewhat inconsistent with the cat dream he and Xiangzi had in mind.

Could it be that Xiangzi was right, Miaomeng is actually short of money too?

While Bai Qiu was pondering to himself, Miao Meng returned to Bai Qiu and Feng Chuan Xiangzi with several cans of coffee in her hand.

Then she moved over the round chair she used for practicing the drums, sat down opposite Bai Qiu and Feng Chuan Xiangzi, and said:

"There's only coffee left in the fridge."

"The coffee is good."

Bai Qiu snapped out of her daze, said nonchalantly, then picked up her coffee from the table, unzipped the tab, and started drinking.

Toyokawa Shoko responded softly and opened her coffee, but after taking only a small sip, she held the coffee in her hand and looked at Miaomeng with a hesitant expression.

Seeing this, Miao Meng couldn't help but sigh, knowing that there was no way to avoid it.

She looked at Xiangzi and said:

"Xiangzi, tell me, what do you want from me?"

Upon hearing this, Toyokawa Shoko's face lit up slightly, and then she spoke earnestly.

"Meow Dream, I'd like to talk to you about Mujica's training first, is that alright?"

Miao Meng nodded, her face showing little surprise.

But she couldn't help feeling that what she didn't want to face, she would eventually have to face.

"Miaomeng, you've probably noticed it yourself, haven't you? Whether it's rehearsing for a stage play or performing songs, your performance lately has actually..."

At this point, Toyokawa Shoko paused slightly, observing Nyanmu's expression, before continuing:

"Some things are not as good as before."

Miao Meng's expression darkened slightly. "Yes, it's my fault."

Toyokawa Shoko nodded.

It would be good if Miaomeng was willing to admit the problem.

Then Xiangzi continued:

"Although we still have some time before our next tour, it definitely won't work if things continue like this."

"So, Meow Dream, I want to ask, is it because the drumbeats I arranged for you were too difficult, causing you to be unable to cope?"

“The drumbeat is fine, I can play it,” Miaomeng replied.

Upon hearing this, Toyokawa Shoko tentatively asked, "Did they give you too many stage movements and lines?"

“If that’s the case, I can make some adjustments, such as assigning some of your scenes to Xiao Mu.”

"After all, you've had some extra work lately, and if you're too busy, we..."

However, this time, before Toyokawa Shoko could finish speaking, she was interrupted by Meowmon's slightly hurried voice.

"Don't give my scenes to Wakaba Mutsu!"

Miao Meng's eyes widened slightly, and she looked at Toyokawa Shoko with a serious expression.

Toyokawa Shoko was taken aback.

She couldn't help but feel that Miaomeng's reaction seemed a bit excessive.

"Meow Dream, what caused your training performance to decline?"

"...I'll be fine in a few days."

Miaomeng opened her mouth and said.

Upon hearing this, Toyokawa Shoko couldn't help but sigh and said:

"Meow Dream, you haven't seemed to be in good spirits during training these past few days."

Upon hearing Xiangzi's words, Miaomeng subconsciously lowered her head.

She knew the real reason, but she didn't want Toyokawa Shoko to know.

After all, no one wants to easily show their vulnerable side to others.

Seeing the somewhat silent Miaomeng, Bai Qiu, who had been quietly drinking coffee and listening, also chose to speak:
