Crossover Anime: A Musical Anime - Lighthearted and Enjoyable

But his eyes couldn't help but secretly observe his father.

No longer the disheveled, barrel-like figure he once was, Toyokawa Kiyotaka was now dressed in his formal attire for work.

His hair and beard were also clearly trimmed, making him look clean and neat, which made him look energetic and as if he had become several years younger.

Xiangzi could sense that Toyokawa Kiyotaka had truly returned to being the hardworking father he used to be.

Toyokawa Kiyotaka quickly composed himself, deftly opened his arms, and smiled:

"Xiangzi, Baiqiu, come in quickly."

At this moment, Toyokawa Kiyotaka did not seem like an elder at all, but rather communicated with the two as a peer.

His eyes sparkled, his joy was palpable, and he appeared very sincere.

"Please have a seat, I'll go get some hot water to make you some tea."

After speaking, Toyokawa Kiyotaka went to the other side to get busy.

This also gave Xiangzi the opportunity to observe his surroundings.

Things have changed; many things have changed.

Without the beer bottles that could easily be knocked over on the tatami mats, the room was naturally free of the pungent smell of alcohol.

The corner to the side is where Kiyokazu Toyokawa sleeps.

The quilts were folded neatly, like blocks of tofu, and placed in a corner. The pillows and sheets were also laid out flat, without a single wrinkle.

Not only that, but several new pieces of furniture were also added to the room.

Judging from this, it seems that Toyokawa Kiyotaka has been taking good care of the family after she left.

Toyokawa Shoko couldn't help but think back to more than a year ago.

When she left the Toyokawa family to find her father, it was the first time she came here.

At that time, the floor of the room was covered with empty wine bottles and a lot of dust, and the corners of the walls were full of cobwebs.

There were even cockroaches scurrying around in the sink, and she was so scared that she had to close her eyes tightly before she dared to use the tap to wet the rag.

Therefore, seeing that Toyokawa Kiyoko has kept the house clean and tidy, Toyokawa Shoko has basically come to believe that he has reformed.

Toyokawa Kiyotaka sat down and placed two cups of hot tea in front of Bai Qiu and Xiangzi. He smiled, his eyes revealing a hint of kindness and enthusiasm.

"Bai Qiu, Xiangzi, try some, be careful it's hot. This tea is good, it's a holiday gift from our company."

"Okay, thank you, Uncle Toyokawa. It smells wonderful."

Seeing this, Bai Qiu offered his help and then took the lead in picking up his teacup and drinking.

"It's really good, Xiangzi, you should try it too."

"Okay." Xiangzi took a bite as well.

Then, Xiangzi gently gripped the cup handle, took a deep breath as if making a decision, and looked at Fengchuan Qinggao with a somewhat complicated expression, saying in a somewhat emotional voice:

"Father, you've really changed..."

Hearing that Xiangzi was finally willing to speak to him, Toyokawa Kiyoko was so excited that he became somewhat incoherent. He quickly replied:

"That...that's for sure, Xiangzi, please believe me."

"Thanks to Bai Qiu, I have truly realized my mistake. Even if I have encountered a major setback, I should not have taken my anger out on you."

"Xiangzi, listen to me. I've found a new job and quit drinking. I'll never drink at home again unless it's for social occasions... Everything that happened before was my fault. I'm sorry to you and even more sorry to your mother."

Upon hearing these words, Toyokawa Shoko's eyes welled up with tears, and her nose tingled with a soreness.

Bai Qiu glanced at Toyokawa Kiyokazu and couldn't help but remind him:

"Shouldn't Uncle Fengchuan give Xiangzi a formal apology?"

"Ah, right, Bai Qiu is right."

Upon hearing this, Toyokawa Kiyoshi nodded repeatedly. He first looked at Shoko and said earnestly:

"Xiangzi, I want to apologize to you. I'm sorry, I'm sorry."

As he spoke, Toyokawa Kiyotaka punched himself, instinctively showing a pained expression, but quickly suppressed it, bowing his head in self-reproach, assuming a samurai-like posture, and then asked:

"Xiangzi, can you give me a chance to turn over a new leaf?"

Xiangzi took a deep breath, got up and walked to Toyokawa Kiyoko, helped him up, and said softly:

"Dad, please lift your head... I don't blame you anymore."

Upon hearing this, Toyokawa Kiyoshi dared to slowly raise his head, a slight smile appearing on his lips.

"Xiangzi, thank you for still accepting me as your father. I will definitely be a good father in the future!"

Seeing this heartwarming scene of a loving father and filial daughter, Bai Qiu tactfully went to the balcony to enjoy the view.

It's certainly a good thing that Xiangzi and Toyokawa Kiyoko can reconcile.

Ultimately, the two were father and daughter, especially after Xiangzi's mother, Toyokawa Mizuho, ​​passed away, they became even closer to each other.

Chapter 374 Li Xi's Retribution

And so, Toyokawa Kiyoko received Toyokawa Shoko's forgiveness.

The two reconciled and even agreed to visit Xiangzi's mother, Toyokawa Mizuho, ​​together later.

During their casual conversation, Xiangzi also told Fengchuan Qinggao that she was now dating Bai Qiu.

Kiyokazu Toyokawa naturally approves of their relationship.

This is the person who saved him from the barrel of alcohol, how could Toyokawa Kiyotaka not support him!

Toyokawa Kiyoko even said to her face that Shoko should continue living at Shiraaki's house.

This made Xiangzi a little embarrassed, even though it was exactly what she wanted.

The main reason why Toyokawa Kiyoko did this was because he believed that he could not miss out on such a good son-in-law as Shiraaki.

Toyokawa Kiyoko felt that if he were still a member of the Toyokawa family now...

They have to bring Bai Qiu back to the Fengchuan family, have him sign a marriage contract with Xiangzi, and hold an engagement ceremony. Only then can he feel at ease. After all, such a good son-in-law can't be snatched away by another family.

And so, the day came to a beautiful end.

On a new day, after school, Bai Qiu went to RiNG to visit Li Xi, intending to give Li Xi a surprise and also to talk about Hai Ling.

"Here you go, Bai Qiu, your coffee."

Shiina Riki placed a cup of iced coffee on the table in front of Shirai Aki, and then sat down in the empty seat next to Shirai Aki.

Bai Qiu picked up the coffee and brought it to her lips, chuckling softly:

"Lixi's coffee tastes a hundred times better than anyone else's."

Shiina Tatsuki rolled her eyes, but a smile involuntarily crept onto her lips.

While Bai Qiu was drinking coffee, Li Xi habitually crossed his arms and quietly observed Bai Qiu as he drank his coffee.

Just then, she was planning to settle scores with Bai Qiuqiu later, but unexpectedly, Bai Qiuqiu came to see her first.

"It's not an exaggeration at all."

After putting down her coffee cup, Bai Qiu replied.

At the same time, Bai Qiu's gaze fell on Li Xi's face. After observing Li Xi's expression, he felt that Li Xi was in a pretty good mood today.

Therefore, Bai Qiu spoke frankly:

"Lixi, there's something I want to tell you."

Shiina Riki immediately thought of Hailin's matter, and asked calmly:

"What is it?"

Bai Qiu took a deep breath, her tone tinged with caution:

"Lixi, what would you think if I told you that Hailing actually likes me?"

Shiina Tatsuki thought to herself, "Just as I thought."

However, Shiina Tatsuki was quite satisfied with Bai Qiu's initiative to confess, after all, confession is the best policy.

"I know about this."

Shiina Tatsuki sighed softly, then glared at Bai Qiu with her eyes wide open.

Although it was Hai Ling who fell in love with Bai Qiu, putting that aside, doesn't Bai Qiu have any faults at all?

"You knew already?"

Bai Qiu looked at Li Xi with some surprise: "Hai Ling told you?"

“Of course.” Shiina Tatsuki nodded slightly and said in a matter-of-fact tone, “Hailin wouldn’t hide anything from me.”

"Lixi, you didn't have a fight with Hailing, did you?"

Bai Qiu frowned slightly and quickly asked.

He knew Li Xi's temper all too well.

And Hailing, aren't you being a bit too reckless? You should at least have discussed it with him first.

"That's not true."

Shiina Tatsuki shook her head with a hint of helplessness.

Sigh, who told her that the person who betrayed her was her best friend Hailing?

"That's good."

Bai Qiu breathed a sigh of relief.

Besides, since Hailing has already told Lixi, he doesn't need to explain further.

However, Bai Qiu still defended himself with one sentence:

"Na Lixi, you can't wrong me. I didn't lay a hand on Hailing."

Shiina Tatsuki's lips twitched slightly.

She knew that was indeed the case, and that Bai Qiu really couldn't be blamed for it.

However, although Shiina Ritsuki generously agreed to Hachiman Kairin pursuing Hakushu, he still couldn't help but complain in front of Hakushu:

"Who told you to spend so much time alone with Hailing?"

"So you also bear some responsibility for Hailing falling in love with you."

Bai Qiu was slightly taken aback. What Li Xi said seemed to make some sense.

However, upon hearing Li Xi's subtle tone, Bai Qiu immediately realized that Li Xi was jealous!

Bai Qiu narrowed his eyes slightly, looked at Li Xi, and slowly spoke with a forced smile:

"Oh, I see, Lixi, you're jealous."

"Huh? I..."

Shiina Riki's expression stiffened slightly.

Bai Qiu's words so easily touched her heart, and a faint blush immediately rose on her originally charming face.

Li Xi gritted her teeth slightly, and after a long while, she suddenly opened her gleaming lips and shouted at Bai Qiu:

"Yes, I'm jealous, so what?!"

Now that she's Bai Qiu's girlfriend, Shiina Ritsuki naturally won't be as coy and secretive about her feelings as before.

Even Hai Ling was captivated by Bai Qiu, so what's wrong with her being a little jealous?

Not to mention, Nagasaki Motoyo, Toyokawa Shoko, and Wakaba Mutsu have all moved into Shiraaki's house, far ahead of her in terms of progress.

How could Shiina Tatsuki possibly swallow this insult?

So Shiina Tatsuki readily admitted that yes, she was jealous.

"In that case..."

Bai Qiu nodded upon hearing this, as if expressing agreement with Shiina Tatsuki's words.
