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

It is said that people in love are the most sensitive. Chen Ming could clearly sense that Yun Shu's feelings for Xie Yicheng were different from her pure friendship with him.

Chen Ming was naturally unwilling to accept this, after all, he wasn't an insignificant nobody before he went to the countryside. However, Chen Ming also knew that Yun Shu was different from those girls who eagerly approached him; at least their family backgrounds were actually quite similar.

So even though Chen Ming was unwilling, he never had the thought of turning love into hate; he wasn't that despicable. The main reason he backed down immediately after Yun Shu realized his feelings was because Yun Shu was clueless, and he didn't want to pester her to the point of losing even their friendship.

But things are different now. Although he didn't want to admit it, Xie Yicheng was indeed one step ahead of him. But it was only one step ahead, not a lifetime ahead. Chen Ming learned from his mistakes and became more determined after each setback, determined to fight and snatch what he could.

He refused to believe that he was inferior to Xie Yicheng, who had suddenly appeared, in terms of being kind to Yun Shu!

……

Chen Ming was depressed for a while, but before Jiang Xiucheng and Pei Wenyuan could comfort him, he cheered up on his own. Seeing his high spirits, the two of them were helpless. Du Yujiao, who was just about to take advantage of the situation to comfort Chen Ming, was so angry that she gritted her teeth.

Chen Ming channeled his grief and anger into chores in the yard, racking his brains about how to win the heart of his sweetheart. Meanwhile, Yun Shu, whose fate had been seized by her best friend and dragged into the house to be placed on the kang (a heated brick bed), could only honestly express her thoughts to her friend.

"So, you really have feelings for Xie Yicheng? That's great, that way your kids won't have to worry about whether they should take their father's or mother's surname!"

Lin Jingshu's mind raced, her ideas running wild. Just as Yun Shu admitted to feeling a slight flutter of attraction, Lin Jingshu was already thinking about whose surname their future children would take!

While it's true that you don't need to worry about whose surname to take...

but!

Is this the right time to discuss this issue?

Yun Shu covered her best friend's mouth with one hand in embarrassment, while using the other hand to tickle her friend's skin. This was Lin Jing Shu's only weakness, and naturally, she was no match for Xie Yun Shu, so she could only beg for mercy repeatedly.

"I was wrong, I was wrong!"

"Hmph, if you do that again, I'll... I'll go tell Jiang Xiucheng! I'll tell him that you talked about him in your sleep last night, and that you were acting like a lecherous monster, baring your teeth and claws, trying to molest him!"

Yun Shu, who occasionally slept together, seized upon Lin Jingshu's weakness and retaliated without hesitation. After all, right under her nose, the plot had already begun to ignite the seeds of romance between the two.

Jiang Xiucheng, in particular, seized every opportunity to fawn over his sweetheart, fetching water, washing pots, chopping wood, and sweeping the floor. Although they didn't confess their feelings, they were already vaguely attracted to each other.

Otherwise, Jiang Xiucheng wouldn't have been so angry and ruthless when dealing with Xie Guolei last time. It was because Xie Guolei wasn't just after Yun Shu; he was greedy and wanted the innocence of both girls.

So Jiang Xiucheng, who coveted his sweetheart, and Chen Ming together crippled Xie Guolei. It can only be said that Xie Guolei was one of the trials on the male protagonist's path to growth. After this incident, Jiang Xiucheng learned to act more meticulously, and could think things through thoroughly no matter what plan he made or what opponent he faced.

After all, one accident claimed two lives and left one person disabled. Although Xie Guolei and the other two animals that perished in the bear's jaws deserved to die, that should not be an excuse for his blunders.

However, on the other hand, Lin Jingshu could really feel the difference in how her best friend treated Xie Yicheng, especially with Chen Ming present.

As a good friend, Lin Jingshu felt sorry for Chen Ming, but love is an irrational thing, so how can you talk about first come, first served?

All I can say is... it was destined by fate.

……

On their first day of knowing each other, there weren't many details to discuss. Lin Jingshu and Yun Shu spent a long time on the kang (heated brick bed) under the covers, trying to figure out how to deal with this obviously somewhat 'aggressive' suitor.

In the end, Yun Shu had no choice but to make a desperate decision: "Let nature take its course. Even if there are feelings between us, we need time to get to know each other and see if we are compatible."

"In short, I won't make a decision on a whim."

Lin Jingshu naturally supported her best friend completely, but thinking of Chen Ming's pale face that she had just caught a glimpse of, Lin Jingshu was still a little worried: "I definitely support you! You should be more reserved! As for Chen Ming..."

"As for Chen Ming, my attitude remains the same. If I wasn't attracted to him back then, it means I won't like him. I'm very grateful for his help over the years, but... our relationship probably won't take any further."

There's no reason to string someone along if you don't like them. Yun Shu can't be a player; she's actually very afraid of trouble. Her ideal daily life is to be one with her bed, with snacks, computer, phone, tablet, and milk tea within easy reach.

Before she died suddenly in her previous life, she was a corporate slave. In this life, she is going to the countryside to become an office worker. Although she doesn't have to work in the fields, her life is already more fulfilling.

Her mind was only focused on what to eat and what to do each day. Xie Yicheng alone was enough to keep her busy, let alone adding Chen Ming and creating a love triangle!

No, no, this is too much of a test! It's too much of a torment.

“I will be more careful in the future and keep my distance from Chen Ming so that he won’t misunderstand. Jingjing, you have to help me too.”

Yun Shu's tone was very earnest, and Lin Jing Shu agreed without hesitation.

"Don't worry, we'll be inseparable from now on! No one will misunderstand you and Chen Ming."

"Especially that Yang Yue, she's still plotting against us! If she finds out that Chen Ming is pursuing you, and that the brigade leader's grand-nephew Xie Yicheng is also pursuing you, who knows what rumors she'll spread in the brigade to slander your innocence!"

"Yes, that's right!"

……

The two girls talked until midnight before finally deciding to go to sleep, knowing they wouldn't be able to keep up with the mountain sweeping that started early the next morning if they didn't get some rest.

Sweeping the mountain was hard work, and since the educated youth settlement was located at the foot of the mountain, Yun Shu and her group had an easier time than most of the team members, allowing them to get up a little later. Those who lived further away started cooking around 3 a.m., with the whole family getting to work.

Fortunately, Lin Jingshu was capable and helped Yunshu steam some dry food. After waking up in the morning and having a simple breakfast, and boiling a few eggs, the group packed hot water, carried dry food, and gathered at the foot of the mountain once again with tools such as hoes and sacks, ready to go up the mountain.
