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

It's not quite that we'll stop being friends.

Yun Shu simply hadn't experienced much of this kind of thing.

I've never had a sweet romance in both my past and present lives (*?????). The only time I ever felt my heart flutter was when I was in high school in my previous life, and I developed feelings for my tall and handsome deskmate.

However, the crush at that time was not complicated, and Yun Shu never thought of confessing her vague feelings. Therefore, even after the college entrance examination and entering university, she still did not confess to her deskmate.

After graduating from high school, she lost contact with her deskmate. All she knew was that he failed his first college entrance exam and repeated a year, but then scored well on his second attempt and became her junior.

The only time they met before time travel was when they were in the same class and major, attending a large open class together.

That's all the romantic relationships she's ever had, or rather, it shouldn't even be called romantic relationships, so she has no experience dealing with this kind of thing.

She liked Chen Ming a lot, but she also knew that she didn't have that kind of crush on him that made her afraid to look him in the eye. She couldn't reciprocate his feelings, so... they should just be friends.

……

Yun Shu suddenly felt a heavy weight on her heart. This feeling of being treated as an equal, yet suddenly realizing that she had unknowingly accepted so much, weighed heavily on her mind. The three male educated youths behind her had already gone to other counters. Lin Jing Shu looked at her best friend, whose face was scrunched up like a bun, and patted Yun Shu's hand reassuringly.

"Don't be nervous. Just treat Chen Ming the same way I treat him."

"Besides, our Yunyun is still young, so it's understandable that she doesn't accept it."

"Relationships are a matter between two people, and you have the right to make your own choices."

"Besides, Chen Ming didn't press the issue too hard, which is good. Since he didn't make things too complicated, everyone can still get along."

That makes sense. As long as things aren't out in the open, everyone can pretend not to know. Yun Shu nodded, determined to be more mindful of boundaries in future interactions and never knowingly do anything wrong, like her college roommate who turned a guy who liked her but didn't reciprocate into a simp.

“Then Jingjing, please keep an eye on me. I have to repay Chen Ming for his help. Since I have no feelings for him, I can’t take advantage of him all the time.”

"Don't worry, leave it to me."

"Sigh, it's only been less than a month since I came to the countryside, but it feels like there's more work to do than I did in a year back home..."

Overwhelmed by a desire to escape, Yun Shu sighed softly, wanting to go back to her little room and hide away never to come out again.

Lin Jingshu looked at her dejected best friend with amusement, but instead of comforting her, she simply pulled her to the counter to buy something.

When women are in a bad mood, shopping can eliminate most of their negative emotions. This is true for almost everyone, from infants who can't yet speak to elderly women in their seventies or eighties.

A doll, a sausage—it's as if spending money means spending your worries too; the more you spend, the faster your worries disappear.

Sure enough, Yun Shu was quickly drawn to the colorful balls of yarn in the display case. She planned to become a craft enthusiast during the winter, so these balls of yarn would be indispensable.

Yun Shu accepted everything without hesitation, buying all colors. Then she bought two more pieces of clothing, both quite thick and suitable as outerwear: one red and one sky blue.

There weren't many red clothes at the time, so Yun Shu immediately bought it when she saw it. Mainly due to the influence of the era, most clothes were simple and unadorned black, blue, and gray. But Yun Shu didn't want to look so drab; she liked clothes of all colors.

The weather is getting colder, and it gets colder even faster in Northeast China, with temperatures changing almost every day. Sometimes you can wear a short-sleeved shirt in the morning, but by evening you have to wear fleece-lined trousers.

Some people say that Northeast China only has two seasons: winter and roughly winter.

That's an exaggeration. Northeast China does have four distinct seasons, it's just that the transition between seasons can be a bit abrupt.

So the supply and marketing cooperative gradually started stocking some expensive wool coats and wool coats. Shu glanced at them, and although she needed them, she didn't like any of them, so she didn't insist.

After all, this thing is just like a bag. Many bags that you like at first sight and impulsively buy are almost never taken out. They are mostly piled up in a corner for two or three years. Then, when you declutter, you force yourself to throw them away while trying to hold back your heartache.

The same goes for clothes. Yun Shu used the lessons from her previous life to urge herself to be selective and not buy anything of poor quality. Otherwise, it would be quite annoying to buy clothes and leave them to gather dust in the closet.

Moreover, she might still own a wool coat that she likes.

……

The two women shopped around the supply and marketing cooperative, wanting to buy everything in sight. After restraining themselves and buying only some urgently needed items to make a show of their wealth, they finally left the cooperative.

By this time, the three male educated youths had already registered the bicycle, stamped it with the official seal, and paid the fee. The Forever brand bicycle now had a legally recognized owner.

The group of five went to a state-run restaurant for dinner again, but their mood was very different from the first time they ate there. Even Chen Ming, who was usually the most lively, was unusually quiet. Looking at Yun Shu sitting diagonally across from him, he didn't know how to behave.

After finishing their meal without tasting anything, Yun Shu, like Jing Shu, handed some of her belongings to Chen Ming to carry back on his bicycle. Since they weren't sworn enemies, they could only try to be as polite and courteous as possible to each other.

Chen Ming took the two Shu's things, his expression improved considerably, and rode his bicycle back to Fengsheng Brigade first. Yun Shu and Jing Shu, on the other hand, rode on Grandpa Zhang's oxcart and slowly made their way back.

Back at the brigade, they ate the food they had packed from the state-run restaurant for dinner.

A lot happened today, so no one brought up cooking. Everyone tacitly decided to just grab a bite.

The atmosphere upon their return from the city this time was different from before, sparking much discussion among the veteran educated youth. Chen Ming and his two companions' bicycles naturally attracted attention. While the conditions in Fengsheng Brigade were good, it didn't mean that the educated youth could afford such expensive items.

However, Chen Ming wasn't in the mood to chat with his friends, and he was even less willing to accept the flattery of anyone other than Yun Shu. After barely managing to deal with the shameless person who came to borrow his car, Chen Ming stayed inside for half a day without going out.

Yang Yue, who had been watching Yun Shu and the others, saw this scene. She had always been excluded by Yun Shu and the others, so she didn't understand what had happened between them.

However, this did not prevent Yang Yue from believing that something must have changed among these five people whose relationship was so close that it was always impenetrable.

This change was exactly the opportunity Yang Yue wanted, since she had always wanted to get close to Jiang Xiucheng and, incidentally, suppress Yun Shu and Lin Jingshu, who were better than her in every way and made her look like a poor girl.
