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

Lin Jingshu wasn't coy at all. In her heart, her best friend had absolutely no problems. Relationships are all about mutual consent; you can't force them.

Just knowing that Yun Shu was the first friend she made in this world, a true confidante, Lin Jing Shu felt that... even if she had to fight against the whole world, she would fight alongside her best friend.

Although it's an awkward and melodramatic line, that's exactly what Lin Jingshu thinks; she can't stop the man she likes.

"It's mainly because you've all learned to cook to some extent, and you always eat with me and Yunyun, so you have to cater to our tastes. It's better to cook for yourselves. You three grown men can eat spicy food if you want, or cold food if you want."

"Of course, breaking up the partnership doesn't mean we're going our separate ways. If there are any unexpected gains in the future, we'll definitely celebrate together. For example, if you catch a wild rabbit or pheasant, Jiang Xiucheng, I definitely won't be polite. We'll cook and eat together like we do now."

"However, in order for our revolutionary friendship, which we fought side by side, to last, I still think... it's better to eat separately."

Lin Jingshu spoke with a strong and decisive voice, as crisp and clear as a swift knife cutting through tangled mess. But as Yun Shu listened, her heart grew warmer and warmer, as if a small flame had dispelled the chill that had enveloped her.

So...she wasn't so bad after all. Some people do think she's not as cold and heartless as she seems.

Yun Shu's eyes reddened from the heat of the small flame. She lowered her head and slowly ate her rice, not daring to look up at anyone.

Jiang Xiucheng and Pei Wenyuan were caught off guard by Lin Jingshu, but after calming down, they realized that they had been biased and had blamed Yun Shu from the perspective of their brother.

But they all knew that Yun Shu was right. Just because she didn't like Chen Ming and Chen Ming was currently acting all melancholy doesn't mean she was wronging him.

In this world, it's not a matter of who is weaker being right.

Girls are naturally sensitive, so it's no wonder they might think about breaking up the relationship.

……

The two looked at each other for a while, both seeing the helplessness and regret in each other's eyes.

Jiang Xiucheng felt bitter looking at the rejection and resistance in his beloved's eyes. He didn't know what to say, but Pei Wenyuan spoke first and agreed to Lin Jingshu's words.

"Of course, cooking is tiring, especially cooking for so many people. We had no choice but to rely on you two girls, Jingshu, during the busy farming season. Now that we're not busy anymore, we naturally have to learn how to cook ourselves."

"We certainly don't have the skills of Jingshu and you two, so we'll have to ask you two master chefs for your guidance. Otherwise, the three of us... will just be eating steamed buns and drinking cold water~"

"That's definitely no problem. Just like before, we'll help each other and make progress together!"

"Yes, let's help each other and make progress together!"

Lin Jingshu represented the two women, and Pei Wenyuan represented the three men. The two of them made the decision, and no one objected.

Of course, it's said to be the same as before, but everyone knows that things are different now.

The five members of their close-knit team, who had worked together since they were sent to the countryside, finally experienced the rift Yang Yue had longed for. This rift might not prevent them from uniting against external threats and resisting conspiracies, but ultimately, it lacked the impenetrable, unbreakable bond they once had.

After a tasteless lunch, everyone at the educated youth settlement, including Chen Ming, knew that the five of them had broken up their group.

……

When Yang Yue found out, she was so happy she almost lost her bearings, because this was the first bad news she had received about Yun Shu and Lin Jing Shu in a long time. So much so that at lunchtime she was so happy that she wolfed down her food, as if she had a huge appetite to celebrate, and ended up choking on it, frantically pounding her chest and drinking water before she finally calmed down.

Du Yujiao rolled her eyes at Yang Yue while biting her chopsticks and looking anxiously at Chen Ming's room outside.

When Lin Jingshu and Pei Wenyuan decided to break up, Chen Ming suddenly rushed out to say something to salvage the relationship. However, he had been depressed for the past few days, not eating or sleeping properly. His face was pale and he looked listless. Standing there, he looked like an honest man who had been betrayed by a heartless woman.

Although Yun Shu knew Chen Ming didn't have that intention—he was indeed a simple and kind-hearted young man—but...

Chen Ming stood in the courtyard for a while, but suddenly lost the courage to walk up to Yun Shu and tell her what was on his mind. Looking at the girl, so different from the lively and bright girl in his memory, Chen Ming felt as if his internal organs were being squeezed tightly by a pair of large hands, causing him pain.

He didn't mean for it to be like this... he was just a little unwilling to accept it.

So Yun Shu turned and left. Chen Ming opened his mouth but couldn't say anything, and in the end, he could only turn back in silence.

……

Du Yujiao witnessed this scene. Her thoughts were simple: she felt that Xie Yunshu had poor taste and couldn't appreciate such a good person as Chen Ming.

If there were a man willing to treat her that well, she would have fallen for him long ago and would marry no one but him. Why would Xie Yunshu not like him? But then again, Xie Yunshu is more capable than her, so his standards must be higher.

But if she were to say that she was being picky now, Xie Yunshu would definitely regret it if she couldn't find someone she liked later! As for Chen Ming, Xie Yunshu didn't like him, but she did!

Back then, she chose not to humiliate herself because Xie Yunshu was prettier and came from a better family than her, since she couldn't compete with her. But now that Xie Yunshu isn't competing with her, does that mean she can...? Du Yujiao also forgot who told her that the best way to forget a relationship is to start a new one.

She thought this made a lot of sense. Coincidentally, although she wasn't as good-looking as Xie Yunshu, she wasn't bad either. She could cook, do laundry, and do housework. She just didn't have Xie Yunshu's talent, but she could learn! She believed that as long as she was determined enough, Chen Ming would definitely see her good qualities.

A woman pursuing a man is as easy as piercing a thin veil; she refuses to believe she can't win him over! Then... the bicycle will be hers, the man will be hers, and the single room will be... both of them!

So while Yang Yue was gloating, Du Yujiao suddenly made up her mind to pursue Chen Ming.

However, she wasn't so impulsive as to foolishly approach Chen Ming when he was most hurt, only to be disliked. Du Yujiao might not have much else, but she had good judgment. So, after a quick thought, Du Yujiao decided to first build up her strength, at least to prevent Chen Ming from rejecting her approach.

Perhaps... she could learn from Xie Yunshu's style of speaking and acting? After all, isn't that what Chen Ming likes?

But making her keep learning from Xie Yunshu... seems quite tiring.

She had just made a firm decision, but the next second she couldn't help but back down. Fortunately, Du Yujiao was easygoing and after a while, she stopped worrying about it.
