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

After lunch, it was still early, and despite the little incident, Yun Shu decided to go shopping at the department store as planned.

Xie Yicheng deliberately chose to report today, Saturday, so that she could rest for a day over the weekend before going to work on Monday. Therefore, she didn't have to go back to work, so she dutifully went shopping with Yun Shu.

Moreover, he was enjoying it, after all... this was a rare moment of alone time for the two of them since he had been pursuing Yun Shu.

……

After shopping at the department store for more than an hour, Yun Shu and Xie Yicheng, who was also carrying large bags and packages, came out.

The selection here was more extensive than at the supply and marketing cooperative, which perfectly satisfied Yun Shu's shopping desires.

Furthermore, the three-story building has different functions. The second and third floors have some second-hand goods exchange shops, such as second-hand furniture. You can buy bicycles assembled from parts collected from junkyards without paying, or some antique furniture here.

But these things aren't very useful for transportation. After all, she didn't plan to settle down here. She would be taking the college entrance exam and returning to the city in a little over a year, so there was no need to build up too much property here.

Overall, though, I had a good shopping trip.

After sorting and arranging their belongings on the bicycle, the two decided to return to the brigade while it was still early.

……

The journey back was quieter than the way there, but the atmosphere was actually more subtle than in the morning. After all, Yun Shu hadn't forgotten how Xie Yicheng had frankly declared to her godmother at her doorstep that he wanted to form a 'revolutionary friendship' with her.

In this reserved era, the topic of love is actually quite ethereal. The beginning of two people spending their lives together may simply be that their elders think they are a good match, then they ask a matchmaker to come and talk, set a date that day, and get married within six months at most.

Even more surprisingly, many people don't know what their partner looks like or what their personality is like before they get married, but... they still spend their whole lives together, just like Yun Shu's grandparents in her previous life.

Therefore, Xie Yicheng's words were no different from a prospective son-in-law expressing his loyalty to his future mother-in-law on his first visit, while also conveying his feelings to Xiang Yunshu.

But after that sentence, Xie Yicheng didn't say anything more to her alone, which made Yun Shu feel conflicted and unsure of what to do. So today, she was actually trying to avoid spending too much time quietly with Xie Yicheng.

But in the city, these plans are easy to realize. Whether arguing with someone or going shopping, there are always topics to talk about. Unlike now, the two of them, not in a hurry to go back, parked their car halfway and rested under the shade of a tree.

The afternoon sun in autumn is hotter than in the morning, but thankfully there's a bit of a breeze, otherwise it would be so hot you could hardly breathe.

……

The stone Xie Yicheng found in the morning is still there, and there are still quite a few leaves on it; they haven't all been blown away by the wind.

After parking the car, Xie Yicheng moved the stone to the shade of a tree, covered it with a layer of leaves, and then let Yun Shu sit down.

Yun Shu glanced at Xie Yicheng, who was smiling brightly under the shade of the tree, and in a daze, it seemed as if she had returned to the time when she first met him at the brigade headquarters.

Back then, surrounded by a group of uncles and elders, he appeared exceptionally young and fresh. Now, standing alone in front of her, smiling like this, Yun Shu felt... actually, this person was quite handsome to begin with.

Holding a small handbag, Yun Shu walked over and sat on the rock. After sitting down, she looked up and saw that Xie Yicheng was not sitting casually on the protruding tree root as he had in the morning. Instead, he looked down into Yun Shu's eyes, then slowly squatted down, adopting a side-kneeling stance in front of her.

An unintentional touch of legs, an exchange of heat, caused the fingers holding the small handbag to curl and tighten slightly. Yun Shu outwardly met Xie Yicheng's gaze, unwilling to back down, but inwardly she was pounding with nervousness.

She vaguely understood that Xie Yicheng's sudden assertiveness and 'rudeness' were meant to express his feelings to her, so Yun Shu felt a little embarrassed to look at the person in front of her who was taller than her even when he was squatting.

……

Xie Yicheng's eyes were sparkling. He was actually nervous, but what he felt more was impatience and a strong sense of determination to win.

"Xie Yunshu." The steady voice still carried a youthful clarity, which was Yunshu's type.

But the fact that this voice called out her full name at this moment still made Yun Shu's heart suddenly tremble, and a feeling of unease instantly enveloped her whole body.

The person in front of her had incredibly deep eyes. She glanced around nervously, not daring to meet his gaze for too long. Pressing down on the hairs standing on her forearms, she suddenly stammered.

"...Why...why did you suddenly call my name?"

She looked even cuter, like a little rabbit, all frightened.

Xie Yicheng breathed a sigh of relief upon seeing Yun Shu's reaction, and his smile deepened, because he was even more certain that the young girl also had feelings for him.

Loosening her clenched fist and releasing the sweat from her palms, Xie Yicheng knew that her efforts over this period of time had paid off, so she decisively got straight to the point.

"Xie Yunshu, I like you. I want to pursue you, date you, with marriage in mind... Is that okay?"

"!!! Is this...so straightforward?"

Yun Shu gasped in surprise, taken aback by Xie Yicheng's bluntness. She hadn't expected him to say it so directly without any background or romantic preamble.

The man opposite raised an eyebrow, looking at Yun Shu's round eyes, which were like two big grapes. He couldn't help but lean closer, using the increased distance to intensify his attack and not give Yun Shu any chance to escape his gaze.

"You don't like being direct? Then... how about I say it again more subtly? Would you agree if I said it more subtly?"

Too close, too close! So close it felt like he could kiss her if he just lowered his head. Yun Shu was completely enveloped by Xie Yicheng's aura. Her cheeks and ears turned bright red, and she shrank into a tiny figure, with only a stubborn bit of pride remaining to uphold her modern self-esteem.

"I...I...Who said I was going to agree?"

"If you don't agree, then do you hate me?"

"I don't dislike you..."

"If you don't dislike me, then I'll take that as a yes. With marriage as the premise... let's date and be together."

Xie Yicheng pressed on relentlessly, misusing formulas. On the surface, he was soliciting Yun Shu's thoughts and opinions, but in reality, he wasn't giving Yun Shu any room to back down.

Yun Shu was stunned by the robber logic hidden beneath his gentle exterior. She stared dumbfounded at the man who had reached out to grab her small hand without asking. Suddenly, she subconsciously raised her hand and slapped his hand away.

"You...you bastard!"

"Can you just substitute formulas like that?"

"My not agreeing doesn't mean I hate you, and not hating you doesn't mean I...agree...to...you..."

The voice slowly faded away, ending on Xie Yicheng's abs. The self-taught man grabbed the little hand that had just run away and placed it in the place that would attract its owner the most.
