A female supporting character who travels through time and has a spatial ability becomes the darling

The grievances and repression in her heart had almost reached their peak. Shen Qingmo had never been so inconspicuous among the crowd before.

Back home, her family was well-off; both her parents were factory workers, with her mother even working in the local government. Their family's financial situation was considered average, which explains why she was able to quickly go to the countryside to avoid trouble after her reputation was ruined.

She has no brothers or sisters, only a younger sister who is almost ten years younger than her, so the two sisters do not have any issues of competing for their parents' affection or resources.

This also led to the fact that although Shen Qingmo appeared to be gentle, considerate, well-educated, and exceptionally sensible, she was actually spoiled and somewhat unable to accept setbacks or resist.

So whether in daily life, at school, or even among the petty thugs she secretly associated with, she gradually made her way to the center of attention.

The phrase "speak human language to human beings and ghost language to ghosts" perfectly describes Shen Qingmo. At least in front of those petty thugs in society and her male classmates at school, Shen Qingmo's personality is completely different.

She had always lived a carefree and comfortable life, but things started going wrong six months before she was sent to the countryside.

Shen Qingmo was already very resentful and unwilling to accept that her reputation had been ruined by a male teacher and that she had even been forced to go to the countryside. Who would have thought that she would finally meet two male comrades that she quite liked in this poor and remote mountain village, but they were both already in love with someone else.

Shen Qingmo almost couldn't control her inner rage and gloom. She stared intently outside, and even unconsciously crushed the cornbread in her hand into crumbs. It felt like a hundred ants were crawling inside her, making her restless.

It's not that she fell in love with Xie Yicheng or Jiang Xiucheng at first sight, or that she was so deeply in love that she wanted to kill Xie Yunshu and Lin Jingshu out of love and hatred. Even if she was love-struck, she wouldn't be that stupid.

She just... found the contrast too great and couldn't quite accept it.

……

A strange sensation came from her palm. Shen Qingmo looked down and saw that she had broken a hard cornbread in half.

Mixed with the slight sweat seeping from his palms, it looked nauseating and made him unable to eat.

She instinctively reached out to throw the steamed bun away, but a glance at the blue trousers beside her made Shen Qingmo realize that she wasn't at home and couldn't do whatever she wanted as usual.

But actually getting her to eat that cornbread seemed unrealistic, even though her stomach was really hungry, rumbling loudly, and her head was spinning from the physical labor of the morning. She hesitated for a long time, but still couldn't bring herself to open her mouth.

Fortunately, apart from her, many people do not waste or squander food.

A rather strong male educated youth, who had a big appetite but was always hungry, saw Shen Qingmo staring at his cornbread for a long time without eating it, and even breaking it into pieces to play with. After hesitating for two seconds, he finally asked her.

"Shen Zhiqing, do you still want to eat this cornbread? If you're not hungry, could you give me some?"

Shen Qingmo was stunned for two seconds by this straightforward statement. After she came to her senses, she still handed the cornbread to the male educated youth.

"...If you don't mind."

"What's there to complain about? Isn't it good to be able to eat your fill?"

The male educated youth, of course, didn't mind. After taking the cornbread that had been broken in half, he simply crushed it into small pieces, soaked them in the potato and cabbage soup in front of him, and slurped them down.

After finishing the drink, he wiped his mouth and began to ramble on, explaining why he didn't mind.

“When I was a child, my family was poor and we also experienced the three years of famine from 59 to 61, when crops failed. Tree bark and grass roots were rare in the fields. In the end, one or two people in the family would starve to death. Who cared about anything else if we survived?”

"To be honest, I even ate Guanyin clay when I was a kid. It was incredibly uncomfortable to put that stuff in my mouth and swallow it. I think I almost died. After I survived, I realized that as long as it's food, there's nothing that's inedible or unclean, and it's all better than Guanyin clay!"

Upon hearing this, the gazes of the crowd towards the male educated youth instantly shifted to one of awe and respect. After all, his words were so profound that they stirred the blood and made people eager to get down to the fields and cultivate a couple of acres of land.

Then, based on their experiences during those three years of famine, the educated youth started talking non-stop. Shen Qingmo was relieved to see this, since her emotions had been really unstable just now.

If she says something irrelevant in a moment of irrationality, it could worsen her current situation.

……

While everyone was talking and not paying attention to her, Shen Qingmo served herself a bowl of bland potato and cabbage soup. There was no staple food left, and she really didn't have an appetite for cornbread, but she couldn't stand not eating.

Shen Qingmo forced herself to drink this stuff, something she would never have touched before, as if she were torturing herself. She felt so wronged and so tired.

After they finished drinking, the educated youths hadn't finished chatting, but Shen Qingmo didn't want to listen anymore. She was exhausted from shoveling mud that morning, and all she wanted to do now was lie on the kang (a heated brick bed) and rest.

She got up and left dejectedly, and as expected, no one watched her go; it was as if no one cared about her every move.

Shen Qingmo suddenly felt uneasy and thought this place was a bit eerie, since nothing like this had ever happened to her before.

Shen Qingmo left the main room unusually quietly, dragging her somewhat heavy steps toward her own room. As she passed Lin Jingshu's room, she saw through the window that Lin Jingshu and the others had already finished eating and were chatting and laughing.

Shen Qingmo subconsciously lifted her foot to go find 'Brother Jiang' who had helped her on the first night, but she was almost at the door when she realized that Xie Yunshu, who had embarrassed her that day, was also there.

If she goes in, wouldn't she have to face that woman and confront her own despicable desire for someone else's partner?

No, this woman is not easy to deal with. She has a sharp tongue and can expose a person's true colors with just a few words. If you are not absolutely certain, you must not easily confront her.

Shen Qingmo gritted her teeth, withdrew her foot, and quickly walked back to her room.

Sitting on the kang (a heated brick bed), Shen Qingmo took out the remaining peach shortbread from her bag, ate a piece, drank some water, and forced herself to close her eyes and rest.

Exhaustion deepened her drowsiness, and she quickly fell into a deep sleep. But it seemed like she had only slept for a few minutes when she heard that annoying woman's voice in her ear, which woke her up abruptly as if it were a demonic sound.

"It's 1:30 pm now, and there's still half an hour before we start work this afternoon. Please make your preparations in advance and arrive on time."

Shen Qingmo: "..."
