Depressive Screenwriter

It's exactly 8 PM.

The Sakura TV screen flickers, and the refreshing theme song of "Kimi ni Todoke" (From Me to You) begins to play.

The gentle male voice, Gu Qingyuan's cute and pretty face, and Su Yan playing the school heartthrob Shota Kazehaya.

Without waiting for the plot to advance in the sixth episode, Meng Xueqing's mood becomes cheerful just by watching these scenes.

Although the plot is tangled and makes people feel anxious.

But...

It makes people feel better while watching it.

Who in this world wouldn't like pure love?

However, as soon as the theme song ends and Kurumi's cute but pretentious face appears, a cold smile appears on the corner of Meng Xueqing's mouth.

This character gives Meng Xueqing such a strong sense of déjà vu, almost identical to a girl in her office.

On the surface, she's cute and lively, but secretly she plots, schemes, reports, and uses petty tricks. You can't even fall out with her, because she likes to pretend to be an innocent girl. If you fall out with her, it means you're bullying her.

But what Meng Xueqing enjoys most in this drama is when this kind of scheming girl meets Sawako Kuronuma, who is naturally innocent.

Hmm...

As the plot progresses in the drama, after Kurumi and Sawako become "friends" in the previous episode, this episode begins with various friend interactions.

During the process, Sawako's real friends, Chizuru and Ayane, have subtle expressions.

It's not jealousy, but a feeling that the atmosphere is a bit strange.

They are very happy that Sawako has made a new friend, but why is her interaction with this new friend always so deliberate?

But for the female lead, Sawako Kuronuma, of course she is very happy. She even smiles sweetly when she thinks of her at night before going to bed.

Then, Kurumi begins to reveal her true nature.

【For me, who has known Kazehaya since middle school, he is the kind of person who can't ignore those who are isolated in the class. No matter who, no matter to whom.】

Meng Xueqing frowned.

On the surface, Kurumi's words are praising the male lead.

In reality, she is reminding Sawako not to misunderstand. Kazehaya Shota is only being nice to you because he pities you. Don't think he likes you.

Ugh, the smell is too strong! This green tea aura is about to overflow from the TV.

Is the scriptwriter of this drama really a male?

Why does he understand so well the tactics that girls use in those secret confrontations!

【Mmm, mmm, you're right.】 Sawako Kuronuma nods very seriously.

She is happy that Kurumi is praising Kazehaya Shota.

Kurumi immediately breaks out in a sweat.

【So, it's not a big deal to talk to Kazehaya every day! I don't think you need to care too much!】 Kurumi continues, pretending to be cute.

【I see!】 Sawako Kuronuma suddenly understands.

"Hehehe," Meng Xueqing is already smiling like an auntie.

Are you dumbfounded? Meeting Sawako Kuronuma, who can't be discouraged at all.

Because the female lead is too innocent, she doesn't understand that you are implying something to her, nor does she understand the information contained in your words. She really thinks you are telling her what a good and gentle boy Kazehaya Shota is!

【However, Kazehaya and Sawako are not the same kind of people at all!】 Kurumi has already clenched her fists and continues.

【Indeed, everyone has their own place!】

【I see. No wonder you and Kazehaya-kun talk so naturally on weekdays. You seem to be the kind of people whose personalities match. You have a really good relationship. Kazehaya-kun even calls you Kurumi by your first name...】 Sawako said.

At this moment, Kurumi's expression stiffens, but she immediately recovers.

【No, Kazehaya and I just have a normal relationship!】

However, Meng Xueqing can completely hear the smugness in her words.

【Just normal?】 Sawako Kuronuma's expression changes again to one of understanding.

【The standard for normal is so high! After talking to you, I suddenly understand. It turns out I had so many misunderstandings about Kazehaya-kun before. Thank you! If I work hard, I will one day become like Kurumi, right! Although I know there's probably no way to reach that level...】

"Ahahaha!" Meng Xueqing covers her stomach, watching Kurumi's expression on the TV screen, her eyes becoming extremely angry but unable to explode.

"Who said this scriptwriter can only create depressing stories? Isn't this a comedy? It's making me laugh. The naturally innocent girl beats the scheming girl. It's infuriating, Kurumi!"

And in the later plot, after Kazehaya Shota meets Kurumi, he blurts out the name Kurumizawa Ume.

It also reveals to Sawako Kuronuma that Kurumizawa is the surname and her real name is Ume.

It turns out that Kazehaya Shota and Kurumi's relationship isn't that good, not to the point of calling each other by their first names.

However, the increasingly good relationship between Sawako Kuronuma and Kazehaya Shota, and Kazehaya Shota's unintentional glances at Kuronuma, gradually made this girl's expression look ugly.

After school, she took the initiative to find Sawako Kuronuma and said on the way home that the person she liked was Kazehaya Shota.

Meng Xueqing's expression became uneasy.

Although the naturally innocent girl can defeat the scheming girl, it will be difficult if Kurumi launches an emotional attack.

Sure enough, Sawako's expression immediately changed.

Her good friend likes Kazehaya, and Kurumi and Kazehaya are such a good match.

"Wouldn't it be disgusting if the female lead wants to quit on her own?" Meng Xueqing felt a little uncomfortable.

Her eyes stared at the TV screen.

Kurumi began to guide the topic, guiding Sawako Kuronuma's behavior of helping her to the point where Sawako Kuronuma wanted to help her and Kazehaya Shota get together, and began to want Sawako Kuronuma to take the initiative to withdraw from this competition because of her identity as a friend.

【I'm so happy, thank you so much! Then see you tomorrow.】 Kurumi said with a smile.

But at this moment, Sawako Kuronuma subconsciously grabbed her hand.

【I don't think I can do it!】 Sawako Kuronuma said in a gentle tone, but with firm eyes.

【Kurumi, you and Kazehaya are a good match, but I can't support you from the bottom of my heart! Kazehaya-kun is very special to me.】

Seeing this scene, Meng Xueqing instantly felt a little teary-eyed.

This female lead...

So that's what she's like!

On the surface, she looks very weak and always considers others, but she is definitely not ambiguous when it comes to key decisions.

She thinks Kurumi and the male lead are a good match, but she can't support Kurumi and the male lead.

At this point, Kurumi directly breaks down.

She can't pretend anymore, her voice cracking, and she cries out.

【I really envy you, Kuronuma, for being able to gain the attention of Kazehaya-kun, who is gentle, responsible, and cannot tolerate others being isolated, without doing anything as a gloomy girl. People as cute and popular as me can only work hard in secret to talk to Kazehaya...】

"Pfft!" Meng Xueqing almost choked to death.

How broken down does this Kurumi have to be to forget to pretend and say her inner thoughts?

After saying this, Kurumi also realized that something was wrong. She had actually exposed her true colors. Fortunately, she ran away, leaving only Sawako Kuronuma, who thought she was hallucinating, in a mess in the wind.

However, the naturally innocent female lead only thought that Kurumi was in a bad mood for a while when she said that. They are still good friends!

"I'm dying of laughter!" Meng Xueqing slapped her thigh wildly.

Why is this episode so funny?

Clearly Kurumi wanted to disgust Sawako Kuronuma in various ways, but the end result was that she herself was disgusted.

At the end of this episode, Sawako Kuronuma and Kurumi are watching Ryu and Kazehaya Shota's baseball game at the school sports meet.

At a critical moment, the ball swung from the baseball field flew towards Sawako Kuronuma, but it was Sawako Kuronuma's classmate "Ryu" who caught the ball and saved her.

Kazehaya Shota looked at this scene and felt a little uncomfortable.

Kurumi had an idea and encouraged Sawako Kuronuma to go and thank Ryu immediately.

Hearing this, Sawako Kuronuma also nodded, saying that she really should thank him.

This episode ends with the ending song.

"?" Meng Xueqing's expression was dumbfounded.

Is it over?

This Kurumi is obviously going to cause trouble!

She is clearly trying to provoke Kazehaya's opinion of Sawako. Sawako, don't fall for it!

There is no problem with thanking him, but if she adds fuel to the fire and tells Kazehaya, it will be different.

Also, Su Yan, you old thief, what do you mean by ending this episode here?

Are you human!

If you write the script like this, I'm going to be uncomfortable for another week! It's really frustrating.

There are a lot of viewers like Meng Xueqing who were originally very happy watching this episode, but are now suffering because the ending is cut off here.

This drama is great to watch in one go, but if you follow it...

It's different.

That kind of anxious mentality is often more uncomfortable than watching a depressing drama!
