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

Considering cabbage and meatball soup a vegetarian dish?!

This girl is so arrogant/she really doesn't know how to manage money!

As the little girl happily headed to the window to pay, not only were the educated youth at the two nearby tables stunned, but even Xie Yicheng was somewhat taken aback.

When he finally managed to grab Yun Shu's arm by instinct, he, who was usually eloquent, stammered for a long time before finally managing to utter a single sentence.

"We can pay after we finish eating... No rush, I'll go give the menu to the waiter first. Please have a seat!"

"No need, I'll pay first. It's crowded at lunchtime. Didn't you hear the waiter telling everyone to pay and get a receipt first?"

"What if we don't pay and he refuses to cook, or the food is gone?"

Seeing Yun Shu's reasonable insistence on paying, Xie Yicheng was so anxious he almost choked on his own saliva. He never imagined he would be in such a sorry state. Why didn't he pay the waiter first?!

He was praised for being resourceful and good at handling things, but now he's in a bind.

Xie Yicheng wanted to subsidize the little girl but failed. His forehead was covered in sweat, but he couldn't think of any excuse to delay Yun Shu from paying the money.

Seeing his strange behavior, Yun Shu suddenly realized that Xie Yicheng was afraid she would spend money, and looked at him with a mixture of speechlessness and amusement.

Are you worried that I'm struggling to afford this meal even though I don't have the money?

"Is...is my thinking...that obvious?"

Xie Yicheng suddenly felt a little embarrassed, and then the next second she saw Yun Shu nod decisively.

"It's quite obvious. I've never seen anyone as obvious as you."

"Comrade Xie Yicheng, what are you thinking? I certainly wouldn't go out of my way to treat you to dinner, it's not like I booked the whole place..."

"Don't worry, I can afford to treat you to five or ten meals, let alone one."

"I thought something was wrong. They kept stopping me, making a big fuss. You stay here and watch the seat, I'll go pay."

After saying that, Yun Shu went to pay the bill, leaving Xie Yicheng, who was 'making a fuss' behind her, standing there looking completely helpless like a timid wife.

……

Xie Yicheng's plan fell through, so he could only think that after confirming his relationship with Yun Shu, he would hand over all his salary and money to her, earn more money so that the girl could continue to enjoy life while also saving her own money.

However, his interaction with Yun Shu only strengthened the resolve of the two tables next to him.

'This girl was definitely fooled by this gigolo!'

'This girl is definitely rich; she must come from a wealthy family, and she's so naive!'

So the male educated youths, who had been wolfing down their food, wanting to eat more than the others, all slowed down. Their bottoms were glued to their seats, wanting to continue listening to Yun Shu and Xie Yicheng's conversation and glean more information.

These days, the educated youth who went to the countryside were desperate to return to the city, and they didn't want to miss even the slightest chance.

The female educated youth also decided to give Yunshu a piece of advice so that she wouldn't be deceived.

……

Yun Shu quickly returned, and the two sat down again.

Yun Shu had just paid the bill, exuding the aura of a powerful older sister, sitting there with her back as straight as a steel plate. On the other hand, Xie Yicheng across from her was inwardly contemptuous of himself for being more trouble than he was worth, yet he had actually achieved his first-ever "being treated to dinner by a girl he liked," and he was utterly dejected.

Xie Yicheng, acting even more submissive than a submissive wife, scalded Yun Shu's chopsticks. Then, she deflated and struggled a little more: "How about... I treat you to this meal?"

The unnamed female educated youth inwardly scorned Xie Yicheng: "Hmph, full of lies, a tactic of feigned retreat!"

Yun Shu: "No, I said I'd treat, so I'll treat."

"...Then I'll give you half the money?" Xie Yicheng was still not giving up.

Yun Shu suddenly felt that this person was very sticky. Just then, a dish of garlic pork belly was served. Yun Shu suddenly picked up her chopsticks and poked them into a piece of lean meat, piercing right through it.

Xie Yicheng's eyes followed Yun Shu's hand movements. Startled by the scene, he suddenly trembled and looked up to see Yun Shu glaring at him with fierce eyes, as if the chopstick she had just used had pierced his skull.

"What do you think?"

The little girl gritted her teeth, and Xie Yicheng was completely deflated.

Not only did he fail to achieve his goal, but he also lost face in front of the young girl, making the meal tasteless for Xie Yicheng.

Yun Shu, on the other hand, seemed to enjoy her meal quite a bit. The garlic sauce in the garlic pork belly was incredibly satisfying, and she actually preferred the peanuts in the Kung Pao chicken. The broth was also a great accompaniment to rice.

There's also cabbage and meatball soup. The meat isn't fishy at all; instead, it has a hint of sweetness from the cabbage. The cabbage is also incredibly flavorful from being stewed in the broth. With each bite, the smooth and rich soup flows down your throat and into your stomach, leaving you feeling completely satisfied.

Seeing Yun Shu enjoying her meal, Xie Yicheng gradually let go of his inner turmoil and complexities. Adhering to the principle of not wasting food, Xie Yicheng finished off all the chicken, carrots, cucumbers, and green peppers in the Kung Pao Chicken, which Yun Shu didn't particularly like. The Garlic Pork Belly was the first dish to be completely finished, and only a small portion of the Meatball Soup remained.

Yun Shu decided to take it back and make some noodles.

……

Xie Yicheng was completely satisfied with the meal and finally accepted reality.

As the waiter was clearing the tables, he went to get the pig's trotters that Yun Shu had packed. Just as the two tables of educated youth who had been waiting for a long time without changing their minds were about to make a move, Xie Yicheng suddenly appeared again.

"Let's go. Didn't you want to visit the supply and marketing cooperative and the department store? They might be closed if we go too late."

"Well, let's go then."

After the two finished speaking, they got up to leave, which made the male and female educated youth at the two tables next to them quite anxious. The male educated youth still couldn't figure out the specific relationship between Yun Shu and Xie Yicheng, but that didn't stop them from knowing that Yun Shu was really good-looking. Therefore, when they saw Yun Shu was about to leave, they could no longer suppress their eagerness.

"Wait a minute, comrade, former educated youth!"

Among the group of male educated youth at that table, the one who was slightly better off but also the most confident and least able to endure hardship suddenly reached out and tried to grab Yun Shu.

Yun Shu was startled by the sudden sound behind her, and then she was so frightened by the hand that almost touched her shoulder that she took several steps back and almost twisted her ankle. Fortunately, Xie Yicheng quickly protected Yun Shu and helped her stand up without falling.

The male educated youth was somewhat annoyed at the sight, but he was more displeased with the physical contact between Yun Shu and Xie Yicheng. He hadn't expected that the female educated youth, who avoided him like the plague and was so frightened away, would not reject this freeloader.

Completely forgetting that he was also a male educated youth who wanted to steal a woman's husband and live off her, he was quite confident. He stretched out his not-so-crisp coat, stretched out a hand with some black dirt under his fingernails, and introduced himself to the terrified Yun Shu.

"Excuse me, comrade, I startled you. I'm Chen Zhiqiang, a former educated youth from the Fengshou Brigade..."
