Also, lol, the fan girl did not play any part in QT having her realisation moment. All that foreshadowing, for literally nothing. I mean, I can not see in what way she could get involved now, even as a mere tool for one of the mains to get in touch with their feelings. Though, the sadist in me is somewhat disappointed we did not see her reaction when SJ displayed the obviously-in-love-with-someone-else, while brushing off the girl in a way that made it clear she is something of an afterthought in SJ's mind, at best.

Nothing sweeter than a chapter making me swallow my own words.

Also, yey, finally a character I can hate here~ Because I sure do hate her now, as short an appearance as it was. And to think I had written her off previously, lol.

Also also, DRAMA, thank you, lmao!

Thanks. I thought I tried that, but I guess I didn't click close enough to the edge.

Well, I was way off... ah well.

I just wanna give Mo a hug. She's a sweetheart cutie that's been loving Sun Jing for a while now, and is in the middle of getting her heart broken. She's not doing anything bad whatsoever; the horrible things some people are saying... Hate? Kill? That's just terrible.

Agreed. I hope Tan Jiu will introduce a nice girl for Mo. I hope she won't disappear like Qiu Tong's friend.

This! It is not that the people are mad at Mo per se, but that if you have been following tamen de gushi for YEARS and things have FINALLY moved and ... there was no big drama until now, this development is super unwelcome xD
Everyone is so invested that it is only natural people get mad.
For the record, I got mad.. at the author xD .. for ruining the fluffy comedy with this, looking forward to all this being cleared up.

P.S. Qiu Tong is mineee

Yeah the people here are being total asshats to poor Mo.

Why was she introduced?

Mo was introduced very early on in the series and it has been made clear that she has feelings for Sun Jing on a number of occasions. This isn't a random trope for the sake of drama, its contextually fitting development of her character.

Everyone is so invested that it is only natural people get mad.

I've been reading Their Story for a long time as well, and I understand the frustration. But it's not as if Mo's character is maliciously sabotaging a relationship of which we already know will come to be.

For the record, I got mad.. at the author xD .. for ruining the fluffy comedy with this

I understand the passion, but this sort of moment has been a long time coming and through out Their Story, there have been hints of drama, it's not all fluff. I'd be upset if Tan Jiu just ignored a character out of convenience for the sake of fluff and/or for readers; writing shouldn't be a catering service. This has been pretty well setup too with Mo first trying to talk to Sun Jing at the party only to be dismissed and now again for a second time. Mo saw what happened at the party too, so it makes sense that she'd be really anxious right now and would stop Sun Jing at the first opportunity.

Sun Jing has always been upfront and honest with Qiu Tong and unless Qiu Tong completely changes character and becomes utterly unreasonable, this shouldn't take long. A few chapters to allow an established character to have some closure? That's very reasonable.

Damn. I knew it would eventually get like this. I'm just so tired of the "other girl" or "third party" being hurt because they're not the main character. I hope this gets handled nicely and that this blonde kid gets a happy ending as well even if it's not with Sun Jing.

Well yes, it is all fluff because there were only hints of drama that got quickly resolved (remember how much people thought big drama is coming because she told the boy to piss off?). This story has been very fluffy so far and ANY potential drama got usually dispersed immediately.
So it is very understandable if people get a bit pissed when a drama is suddenly introduced. People waited for years to see this kiss and now want to see the early days of cute, fluffy dating, not some jealousy love triangle bullshit.

(edit: always upfront and honest once Sun Jing was able to talk to Qiu Tong, that is.)

@Fipse
Using your own argument, why assume that now there will be heavy drama? Myself included, many have guessed at heavy drama, but as you say it has all been resolved in quick order. Why assume now that we'll have long, drawn-out drama, or "some jealousy love triangle bullshit"? It's highly unlikely that Sun Jing will suddenly be interested in Mo Xiaonan at this point.

If there is a bit more drama right now, it is fitting as Mo Xiaonan is an established character from the start. Her feelings for Sun Jing were established early on too. True, if Tan Jiu had given Mo Xiaonan more presence, possibly less people would be angry or infuriated. But at the very least let the writer give closure to her own characters.

A lot of dramatic points have come up, but have not been focused on for very long or we have yet to see where things will go. The overall tone has been kept light and drama kept short broken up by light and fluffy content. But there are definite conflicts. Honestly, I think the anger has been amplified due to how long it has taken to get to this point in the story and that this is also a bit of a best-girl couple shipping issue.

In that case, Mo Xiaonan x Qiu Tong. Mo Xiaonan is kinda like a strawberry and Qiu Tong once made a strawberry and cream roll cake. Her mom approved of the cake and everyone smiled. The end.

I'm not responding to those generally frustrated. Only the extreme posts and trope arguments.
