Still betting that the sweet potato scene was an extra as well.

Pretty sure it was, in the previous chapter didn't it say "SJ didn't come that day/night" so it wouldn't make sense if she indeed appeared after all

I believe that's just a glitch in the translation. Different languages often have different ways of phrasing things, with nuances that defy a direct translation. In the sweet potato scene, Qiu Tong had Sun Jing's jacket from the previous night, she asked about the "business" that caused Sun Jing's delay, and when she finally gets there, Sun Jing gives Qiu Tong this look that says "I need to make sure I cherish this girl". At the very least, it's definitely meant to be the next time they meet.

Signs all over the Thai airports...Banned hazardous items: guns, knives, corrosive chemicals, explosives, and ... durian. Makes me wonder a little about their tastes.

Has the story run out of steam? Or are the last few updates just side things before the main story returns?

I am hoping they are side stories, though even then, I am starting to be a little disappointed. Sure, these are all cute, but after the whole first-kiss-is-a-big-deal-after-all-this-time-plus-fangirl-drama angle has been systematically built up for several chapters, to be followed by a series of unconnected little episodes is starting to grate on my nerves, to be honest. Especially episodes such as this, if you are not going to continue the main story with the two leads, at least give me more stuff on the side characters, they also interest me. And if you are going to give me the main couple, then give me the main storyline from where we left of, not a random snippet from who knows how far into their future.

Nothing against these little scenes per se, they are cute, but I probably would have appreciated them better at some later date, after the current big theme got a little more spotlight.

So, it turned into a Slice Of Life, instead of building romance between the two.

We already knew they end up together, but come-on, what's important is not the destination, it's the journey.

Well I'll take these vignettes over another 100 year basketball game, but I'm starting to worry that the author doesn't have a plan moving forward after the kiss. Even before then, the plot seemed kind of like it was written on the spot from chapter to chapter. Now we're right in the middle of the story, and it seems like it has nowhere to go.

Eh, the author has been going through drama with the publisher of the book version of their comic being censored by the government, so maybe this is their way of coping? I am also eager to return to the plot, but it's not like this is the first time the series ever had out-of-sequence intermissions.

The main story is a foregone conclusion at this point, give me more Tattletale's weird life. Mo Xiaonan is just a spanner in the works from nowhere.

Was gonna mention this as well. They probably have a lot on their plate right now in terms of mental stress and actual solution searching around the fact that they can't share what they want to in the physical. So I feel like this is the alternative to not getting anything at all while the author sorts things out personally and with the publishing.

I could really do with more stories that focused a bit more on the destination. I'm kind of tired of the old "and then they got together the end." It's one of the reasons I really like Kase-san.

These are cute and all but come on, did this story really need this much filler?

I'm just hoping it doesn't signify that they have basically been forced to knuckle under and getting deeper into things is now banned.

I doubt it, because it was the paper edition that ran into censorship problems. The webcomic itself already had the confession, the kiss, and the whole low-key romance in between, without any problems. It is actually that confession scene which is causing the current difficulties, and that was ages ago in the web issue of the story.

That being said, I would almost prefer at this point the author just stops releasing these little snippets, because every time I see them, my main reaction is disappointment over it not being a continuation of the main story and that titbit of drama which accompanied it. Which is a shame, because these are still cute, and were they released later, I would have thoroughly enjoyed them. As is, what would otherwise have me go "waah, cute", is now causing a reaction more along the lines of "and now, the main couple walks over a puddle, great".
