Depressive Screenwriter

Sunday night.

Although Xia Ting had vehemently cursed Su Yan online the previous week due to the mind-blowing plot of Tokyo Love Story, declaring that she would never watch his work again,

But today, she still obediently waited in front of the TV, anticipating the start of Tokyo Love Story.

No matter how outrageous the actions of the main characters in this drama were,

At least, the portrayal of Rika Akana's character was beyond reproach.

Her only flaw was having a relationship with the company's manager before dating Nagao, and even before the manager was divorced.

But precisely because of this, she chose to break up with the manager.

After meeting Nagao, she was absolutely devoted to him.

In this era, who has ever seen a girl apologize in a relationship?

But Rika is that kind of person.

Moreover, Gu Qingyuan's performance doesn't come across as a humble plea for completeness, but rather makes the audience clearly understand that she forgives Nagao again and again simply because she loves him too much.

Before the tenth episode aired, Tokyo Love Story fans online had completely hyped up the drama's forum and comment sections.

"It's the tenth episode, only the last two episodes are left, I hope this episode won't disappoint me."

"Su Yan, you old thief, do you know what we fans want to see?"

"Why do I keep clicking on his dramas knowing that Su Yan is this kind of person? I really regret it, I should have gritted my teeth and not watched Tokyo Love Story."

"I have the same thought as you, I just wanted to take a look when the first episode of Tokyo Love Story aired, just one look... and then, I was done for."

"I also admire Su Yan. So many characters in this drama are being fiercely criticized now, but he has completely stabilized the reputation and ratings with just the character of Rika!"

"Look, as long as Su Yan, the old thief, dares to let Nagao be a scumbag and completely break up with Rika in the tenth episode, he will know what a sharp drop in ratings is in the eleventh episode!"

"Damn it, although I'm shouting here for Su Yan not to let Rika be sad, but the thought that the best ending for this drama is actually Rika and Nagao being together makes me extremely miserable! Is Nagao worthy of her?"

"Nagao doesn't have any major faults, right? Coming from the countryside to Tokyo, his thinking is conservative. Rika is too dazzling and avant-garde for him. In comparison, his inability to let go of his white moonlight, Rimi, may be a normal man's choice."

"That's right, everyone online is scolding Rimi, but in reality, if you have a green tea girl with Gu Qingyuan's looks calling you 'brother, brother' by your side, you probably wouldn't want your wife, children, or entire family."

"That's right, scolding Rimi is only because the person she hurt is Rika. If Nagao's girlfriend was an ordinary girl, most Tokyo Love Story fans would probably support this kind of plot."

"Everyone knows this kind of thing without saying it. Drama fans' values follow their looks. If two girls have the same looks, they will look at their character. Nagao, the male lead, is ordinary, but his thinking logic isn't too outrageous... The only difference is that his personality doesn't match Rika, he is crushed by her personal charm, and looks a bit too useless."

"No need to defend Nagao. He makes Rika angry again and again, in my heart he is a third-class disabled person. If he really proposes to break up with Rika, then he is a top-tier scumbag, and I will remember this character for the rest of my life."

Just through the lines in the forum, Xia Ting felt the resentment of Tokyo Love Story fans towards Su Yan and everyone in this drama except Rika.

In terms of character popularity alone, Tokyo Love Story definitely surpasses any of Su Yan's dramas.

At eight o'clock in the evening, the tenth episode of Tokyo Love Story started on time.

Xia Ting held her breath.

In the previous week's plot, Nagao took the initiative to ask Rika out to clear up the misunderstanding, but he stood her up because of Rimi's retention.

And in this week's plot,

In the company, Rika saw Nagao the next day and directly ignored him.

But Nagao also felt ashamed to talk to Rika, his expression was uncomfortable, but he didn't dare to speak.

The two passed each other on the stairs.

Rika saw Nagao's attitude of standing her up without even apologizing, and a trace of sadness flashed across her face.

And Xia Ting, her blood pressure soared one minute into the opening.

The most uncomfortable thing is that Nagao clearly let Rika down, but he still showed an uncomfortable and sad expression, making himself look like a victim.

You stood someone up, would you die if you apologized?

In this drama, every time you two have conflicts, Rika takes the initiative to reconcile and apologize, are you really a man?

She cursed Nagao with all her might in her heart.

The plot continued.

After that day, Nagao tried to find Rika to talk to and open up the topic many times.

But Rika sensed it and avoided him.

Xia Ting frowned.

Nagao, you...

What are you going to say to Rika?

Persuade her not to give up the opportunity to work abroad, and then, you can break up with her legitimately?

Thinking of this, Xia Ting felt a little stomachache.

As for Rika's behavior in the drama of always avoiding Nagao and not giving him a chance to be alone, it also had a bit of an evasive meaning.

"She may have already guessed the ending between herself and Nagao, but she is just avoiding it, delaying the arrival of this ending..."

Xia Ting clenched her fist.

The camera switched.

It came to Rimi and her colleague's exchange of plot in the kindergarten office.

"Don't you hate love triangles the most? But there's no way to help it if you fall in love." The colleague said with a sigh.

"But, I don't regret it." Rimi said gently.

"If you get rejected, I'll comfort you." The colleague said.

Xia Ting's expression became speechless.

Listen, what are these two people saying?

Rimi, you intervened between Rika and Nagao, of course you don't regret it.

And this colleague, comfort your mother!

If I had a colleague like Rimi around, I would stay far away from her, but you're good, you're even having a tea party with her.

Anger and resentment were boiling.

Another wave of emotional value was generated and flew towards Su Yan.

Truly worthy of being good besties!

The plot continued to advance.

Mikami was dumped by Nagazaki Shoko, who said that sleeping with him was just for fun.

Of course, the audience could see that Nagazaki Shoko was just saying the opposite because of the pressure from her family to marry.

However, the depressed Mikami and Rika ended up together.

When the plot progressed to this point, Xia Ting perked up.

In fact, in this drama, her favorite plot was the time Mikami and Rika spent alone.

These two don't like each other but are both perceptive beings. Between their few words, the plot often develops in unimaginable directions.

In short, these two are more like confidants without any emotional entanglement between men and women.

At least Xia Ting felt very comfortable watching the plot of these two.

After discussing Mikami's blackening of Nagazaki Shoko, Mikami asked about Rika.

"What about you and Nagao?"

"He said he has something to tell me!" Rika said with a sad tone.

"Is that so? He hasn't said it yet!" Mikami sighed.

"I'm pretending not to know." Rika said in a low voice.

"Why?"

"I know what he wants to say. But, I don't dare to listen."

In a few words, both Mikami and Rika revealed important information.

Mikami knew what Nagao wanted to say.

Rika also knew.

But Rika couldn't accept it, so she stopped Nagao and didn't give him a chance to say it.

And those unspoken words, two words jumped out of Xia Ting's heart.

"Break up."

Clenching her fists,

Xia Ting was a little tearful, her nose a little sore.

The plot she didn't want to see the most, but in the drama, it was sliding in this direction.

"I tried my best, I knocked on Wan Zhi's door. Wan Zhi, what are you doing? Wan Zhi, why don't you open the door? Wan Zhi... Why are you ignoring me? Do I need to try harder?"

When Rika said these words to Mikami with tears in her eyes,

Xia Ting's own eyes also turned red.

Rika knew that Nagao wanted to break up, she tried hard to avoid it, tried hard to talk, tried hard to hope that he would change his mind.

But Nagao...

Was very firm.

The door in his heart had been tightly closed.

This scumbag!

Mikami and Rika both looked at each other's love lives from God's perspective.

But they were powerless to do anything about their own love lives.

"When are you going abroad?"

"In three weeks."

"Then you won't be lonely there."

"It's not that you won't be lonely if you have friends. It's that you will be lonely if someone is gone."

Xia Ting pulled out a tissue and blew her nose hard.

Damn it, Nagao, are you still a man?

Do you even deserve to be the male lead?

Halfway through the broadcast of the tenth episode, the eleventh episode will be broadcast next week.

In the plot, there are still three weeks.

You give me a good think.

Are you really going to give up Rika for that green tea Rimi?

And the result was quickly given.

Nagao finally waited for the opportunity to be alone with Rika when he worked overtime one night.

Rika had already thought it through.

She would go abroad and not say the words of breaking up with Nagao.

But basically, a long-distance relationship is equal to breaking up without saying goodbye.

But at least this would leave Rika with a thought.

Although the hope was almost zero, as long as she didn't say break up, then it was definitely not zero!

And Nagao...

Didn't give Rika this opportunity, he pressed on step by step.

On this night, he said that sentence.

Rika broke down emotionally and cried as she left.

Nagao...

"Stop pretending to be sad and affectionate. Rika has already said it very clearly. Just leave quietly without saying anything, leaving a little dignity and thought for each other. After she leaves, it's none of her business if you go and date Rimi!" Xia Ting was so angry!

"Nagao, are you really a pig brain? Just for that little sense of security of yours, for a clean and neat way of doing things without leaving any loose ends, you have to open up in her face and sprinkle salt on Rika's wounds?"

A scumbag without a doubt!

Xia Ting took a deep breath, but the resentment in her heart couldn't be dispelled.

From here on, she lost hope for this drama.

They broke up!

In the end, it still came to this step.

What's the point?

Let's destroy it...

Just when Xia Ting thought this way, there was another reversal in this drama.

After Nagao clearly stated that he wanted to break up with her, Rika disappeared from work the next day.

Nagao couldn't find her in any of the places in Tokyo that they had memories of.

And when he returned home, looking at the residence he used to share with Rika, he remembered the words he had said to Rika.

Rika's words of wanting to go to his hometown of Ehime to see, wanting to see the pillar in the school where Nagao wrote his name when he graduated in junior high school, echoed in his mind.

Xia Ting really couldn't hold back this time.

Could it be that Rika was dumped by Nagao but still couldn't forget this former agreement and ran to Ehime?

If that's really the case...

Xia Ting didn't dare to imagine how sad Rika would be at this time.

She called Nagao so many times, but he didn't go.

Now that they've broken up, she's going to Nagao's middle school alone, looking for that pillar in the school alone.

And then alone, she's leaving the trio of Nagao, Rimi, and Mikami.

From the beginning, she wasn't a member of the trio.

And now, she's leaving alone too.

Birds and fish only have a brief glimpse of each other when they skim the surface of the water.

"Su Yan, you old thief, you don't cut people like this, right?" Xia Ting blew her nose hard.

She really hoped that Rika wouldn't think so much, just be dumped, be in a bad mood, go on a trip for a few days, and then come back and forget Nagao, and restore that cheerful and lively Rika.

Don't torture her like this!

Going to pursue Nagao's past traces.

What's the use of that?

They've already broken up.

It's just being trapped in one's own past.

This shouldn't be the end for Rika and Nagao.

She has to walk out of this relationship with a smile.
