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

Feelings are most likely to deepen when you're alone.

This is indeed a profound truth.

Even though Yun Shu and Xie Yicheng weren't in a cozy little space, their time together somehow made it easier for their hearts to draw closer.

The unused military water bottle belonging to Xie Yicheng was placed in Yun Shu's bicycle basket. The usually stammering Platoon Leader Xie blushed crimson. As a result, neither of them spoke again for the remaining half of the journey to the county town.

Yun Shu was also startled by Xie Yicheng's somewhat scalding gaze just now, and after that gaze, it seemed that Xie Yicheng's presence in her mind became stronger and stronger.

Xie Yicheng also felt that at that moment, his heart was beating so fast that his palms even felt numb.

Even though the two of them weren't looking at each other or exchanging words, and were silently making their way, the moment they had just made eye contact, and Yun Shu's radiant smile in the dappled sunlight filtering through the trees, was still etched into his mind.

It lingers, and even becomes clearer.

……

The journey was quiet, but I blushed the whole way.

The remaining half of the road seemed both long and short, both near and far.

So much so that when the two arrived at the entrance of the county town, they were still not fully in a daze. They didn't know how they had somehow found the post office, parked and locked the car, and carried their things. It was only the heavy weight that brought them back to their senses.

Subconsciously, Yun Shu and Xie Yicheng exchanged another glance.

This time, Yun Shu didn't dodge, and Xie Yicheng's eyes seemed to hold something more than just simple affection and admiration from before.

"I... I'll help you carry these inside; these two big bags are quite heavy."

"Um, thank you."

"You're welcome..."

Both of them, who weren't stupid, were a little dazed at the moment. Yun Shu carried one of the items, while Xie Yicheng dragged the other two. The two of them staggered into the post office, almost mailing out the mountain produce belonging to Yun Shu's godmother's family as well.

Fortunately, Yun Shu had been a regular at the post office for the past few months and had become somewhat familiar with the staff. Two young ladies checked the package and registered Yun Shu's information while glancing at Yun Shu and Xie Yicheng, whose relationship with her was clearly unusual, with amused glances.

"Who is this? How come he came with you, Xiao Xie? Didn't you always come with Comrade Xiao Lin before?"

"Is it...?"

Yun Shu was startled by the bold words of her two older sisters, whose words were full of hidden meaning. Her face, which had just calmed down, turned red again instantly.

Yun Shu quickly shook the arm of the sister who had been teasing her, as if she were being coquettish: "Sister Lan, please stop teasing me. There are still many people waiting. Hurry up, finish what you need to do first, and I'll treat you and Sister Zhang to dinner when you have time, okay?"

Sister Lan was so dizzy from Yun Shu's shaking that she couldn't help but laugh and grab the little girl's hand, repeatedly agreeing before she was finally freed.

She and Sister Zhang, standing on the side of Yun Shu's family, critically examined Xie Yicheng. Seeing him standing behind Yun Shu with a smile, looking somewhat silly, they immediately pulled Yun Shu aside and whispered something to her with some concern.

"Who is this young man? He... why does he just keep grinning like an idiot? Is he a fool or something?"

"That's right, Xiao Xie, you're still young. Don't make hasty decisions just because he's good-looking. You might regret it later!"

Yun Shu was immediately amused by her two older sisters' unexpected reaction. She glanced back at Xie Yicheng and saw that he had stopped grinning and looked a little embarrassed. She then smiled and nodded to her two older sisters.

"Don't worry, Sister Lan and Sister Zhang, if he really is mentally challenged, I definitely won't want him."

"That's right. You're only sixteen or seventeen, still quite young. There's no rush."

Listening to Sister Zhang's earnest instructions, Yun Shu obediently nodded: "Okay, no rush!"

Xie Yicheng, standing behind her, was about to speak up for himself, since he was in a hurry even though Yun Shu wasn't. But when he heard the older woman mention Yun Shu's age, he instantly realized that he and his sweetheart were still at least three years away from the legal marriage age, and Xie Yicheng's vision blurred.

……

Influenced by the prevailing trend of early marriage and pregnancy in the countryside, Xie Yicheng almost overlooked this point. After all, in the eyes of rural people nowadays, legal marriage age and marriage certificates are not really that necessary.

There are plenty of boys who get married at seventeen or eighteen and girls who get married at sixteen or seventeen. They don't get a marriage certificate or register their marriage. They just hold a banquet in the team or village and that's considered a formal marriage.

In the countryside, the wedding banquet seems to carry more weight than a marriage certificate.

However, for someone like Xie Yicheng, who received military education before leaving the army and became a member of the great working class after being demobilized, he must abide by this legal provision, as must Yun Shu, another educated youth.

The man is twenty-two and the woman is twenty. Thinking about it this way, isn't Yun Shu still quite young?

Xie Yicheng sighed for his future, but after thinking about it, he realized that he had indeed been a bit too hasty.

After all, Yun Shu had only been in the countryside for a few months and didn't know when she would be able to return home. He hadn't made a name for himself yet and had never met Yun Shu's family or elders. How could the two of them easily get married just because they had taken a liking to each other?

In Xie Yicheng's view, this was his mistake, and if he really did that, it would be disrespectful to Yun Shu.

After his thoughts raced and he figured it out, Xie Yicheng actually felt relieved. Yun Shu was still young, which meant he still had time to build up his confidence.

After all, he had learned about Yun Shu's family background from his uncle. Peonies blooming in the capital are precious and delicate, and they shouldn't have to spend their whole lives in this remote and impoverished county town just to accommodate him.

He should try his best, no matter what, to ensure that Yun Shu's future life won't be less relaxed and enjoyable because of being with him. He wants Yun Shu's parents to approve of him, and he wants Yun Shu not to regret choosing him.

Xie Yicheng, who had not yet confirmed his relationship with Yun Shu, set a goal for himself in his heart. When he looked at Yun Shu again, his eyes, which were originally full of enthusiasm and love, were now filled with a sense of calm and solemnity.

The revolution is not yet complete; comrades, we must continue our efforts!

……

They mailed the package while chatting and laughing, and were then informed that their family and Yunshu's older brother's military unit had sent Yunshu another package. However, Yunshu still needed to go to her godmother's house, so she arranged with Sister Lan and Sister Zhang to pick it up and asked them to keep it for her.

After leaving the house, Xie Yicheng saw that there was still time, so he took Yun Shu to the textile factory's staff quarters, which was also a chance for him to familiarize himself with the place.

After all, Xie Yicheng also knew that the logistics director Li who sent Yun Shu back to the brigade last time, as well as the women's director of the textile factory who lived here, were Yun Shu's godparents, the kind of people who had a particularly good relationship with Yun Shu's parents in Beijing.

Now that he needs to change his mindset and fight a long-term battle, he naturally has to do everything he can to gain support for himself.
