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

So natural!

This was a feeling that Yun Shu couldn't describe. She suddenly realized that from the moment Xie Yicheng appeared until they were able to have this kind of "you" and "me" conversation, it had only been two days.

However, there haven't been many catalysts for their interactions these past two days, unlike the hero saving the damsel in distress or other situations that lead to a romance between the male and female protagonists in a novel.

But the only thing Yun Shu was certain of was that Xie Yicheng was very proactive and never hid his feelings.

Just like now, Xie Yicheng, who is 1.84 meters tall, stands next to Yun Shu, who is 1.68 meters tall, with a smile in his eyes. His gaze is burning and even has a hint of aggression, like a beast that has suddenly discovered a rare treasure and has become the guardian beast of that treasure.

Not only do they willingly stay by your side, but they also repel any other ferocious beasts of their kind from approaching. At best, they'll sneer and scare them away; at worst, it'll lead to a life-or-death struggle like in a fantasy novel. But as long as they're there, they'll eagerly wait for the day when the rare treasure matures, and then make it their own.

Yun Shu was startled by the bizarre associations and developments in her mind, and couldn't help but shiver slightly. When she came to her senses and looked at the boy beside her, he had already finished eating the apple before she could respond. He then took the other things from Yun Shu's hands and said a few words loudly.

"Then I'll take Xie Zhiqing on as a job. If you need any more work like this in the future, come to me. These apples and cookies are so expensive, they're worth a lot of money. I'll work for you for a month!"

Then he happily got back to work, as if... this was some kind of reward.

But Yun Shu knew, and so did the other people in the educated youth settlement who were observing, that this was an excuse and a way out that Xie Yicheng had given Yun Shu.

His pursuit of Yun Shu was one aspect, but his reluctance to force Yun Shu to be with him through public opinion and the opinions of outsiders was another.

What he wanted was mutual love, to live a good life with the person he truly loved, not for Yun Shu to have her reputation ruined by his pursuit, and in the end, to have to compromise herself by choosing a man who didn't know how to respect her.

……

Of course, Xie Yicheng also understands the true meaning of pursuing girls. Respecting Yun Shu is appropriate, but other rivals in love should also be suppressed.

Take Chen Ming for example.

That's why, when they were on the mountain, he used all sorts of underhanded tricks and manipulative tactics to turn Chen Ming into a foil for himself.

He endured Chen Ming's cold stares and treated him with equal care; he lent a helping hand when Chen Ming needed it; and now, when Chen Ming couldn't help but rush out to help Yun Shu chop firewood, he only said, "Thank you, Chen Zhiqing, you're such a good person," which successfully disgusted Chen Ming so much that he was speechless, as if he had swallowed a dead rat.

Who said he couldn't do it? He's absolutely amazing at it! Yun Shu, who had already sat back down by the door picking mushroom skewers, was amused by his shamelessness, but to protect her friend's self-esteem, she forced herself to bite her cheek and not laugh out loud.

After Chen Ming, feeling humiliated, ran back first, Yun Shu watched as he smugly wiped his sweat, moved the wood he had chopped in a few quick movements to the back of Yun Shu's house, and then stacked it into a neat little woodpile according to size.

After Yun Shu finished hanging the mushrooms, he went to check on them and said to her, "These are still too few. I have a two-week vacation before I go back to work, so I'll get you some more. After all, the winters here are long and cold, and we can't get by without firewood."

Yes, he should still be recovering from his injury and reassignment. After running around all day, is he alright?

After Yun Shu realized what was happening, she suddenly felt a little embarrassed. Looking at Xie Yicheng, who was still wearing a three-quarter sleeve shirt and had his trousers rolled up quite a bit even though it was already autumn, she couldn't help but ask with some concern.

"Didn't you say you were discharged due to an injury? You should have been resting and recuperating during this time, but you still helped me with so much work today..."

"Also, why are you dressed so lightly? It's actually quite cold at night, you should wear more clothes, or you'll catch a cold!"

"You'll have to work for me for another two weeks, how will you recover from your injury... No, no, two apples and a box of cookies aren't worth that much. How about I give you something else? How about a piece of cloth? But can you sew clothes?"

The little girl started to ramble a bit, but Xie Yicheng couldn't help but laugh as he listened.

Regardless of anything else, Xie Yicheng felt quite happy at this moment. At least he could sense that Xie Yunshu wasn't completely indifferent to him.

"So... is Xie Zhiqing concerned about me?"

Taking advantage of the fact that no one was behind the house, Xie Yicheng suddenly leaned closer. A face covered in sweat suddenly loomed large in front of him, startling Yun Shu so much that she immediately stopped her incessant chatter, closed her eyes nervously, and shrank into the shape of a little quail.

After a long while of silence, Yun Shu slowly opened her eyes, only to find the figure still there, so close that it made her heart race.

"Xie Zhiqing won't admit it? That's fine, I know it's enough."

"Don't worry, I'm fine. This little bit of work is like a rest for me. If you don't believe me, Xie Zhiqing, why don't you try pinching me?"

The little girl's skin was so delicate; up close, it was smooth, white, and had some cute little downy hairs—even more delicate than her newborn cousin.

It looked pitiful curled up in a ball, but it was even cuter as it cautiously opened its eyes like a little deer, its eyes sparkling like stars, especially now, those eyes... were still full of its own reflection.

Xie Yicheng's heart was pounding so hard it almost deafened her. Looking at the little girl's rosy cherry lips and the sweet fragrance lingering around her nose, Xie Yicheng couldn't help but feel a tightness in her throat.

He forced himself to take two steps back, then pretended to be nonchalant, showing off his muscles and even tempting Yun Shu to pinch them, trying to hide his panicked heart.

Yun Shu didn't notice either, but after thinking about their relationship, she realized she wouldn't dare to pinch his muscles. Besides, if they were really dating, muscles wouldn't be enough. She wanted to pinch his abs! So, after calming down, Yun Shu, who only dared to talk nonsense, shook her head obediently with some regret.

"Alright then, Xie Zhiqing can make clothes whenever she wants. As for sewing clothes... tsk, it's not that I can't, but... our squad leader's wife always scolds me, saying I'm infuriating and just ruin things. The clothes I sew make make perfectly normal people look like monsters..."

Yun Shu: "..."

"So let's just forget about that piece of cloth. I'm pretty self-aware."

Yun Shu: "..." So what exactly made her have this illusion? When they first met, she thought he was a gentle young man.

Now, as soon as she opens her mouth, she reveals her talkative nature and somewhat manipulative side.
