C6 Great Gift

Although she had already gone through psychological construction before she came here, Tong Zijia was still surprised by Grandpa Yuh's easygoing attitude. She was also considered a person who had immersed herself in many brands, and one look at the clothes Yuh Chengxu wore told her that they were not cheap, that such a family should be high above others, polite and distant. No matter what she thought, she didn't expect it to be like this, Grandpa Yuh and Nanny Wang had been holding one of her hands and looking at her lovingly.

"What's the little girl's name?"

"Tong Zijia."

"Zi Jia?" "Good name." Her name was actually a bit unfamiliar, so many people would get it wrong the first time they heard it. Nanny Wang was clearly one of them, and seeing her very cute and elegant demeanor, she really liked it from the bottom of her heart. This was the first time Yuh Chengxu brought a girl here in so many years, it was enough to see how much he valued her.

Thinking of this, Nanny Wang's gaze towards Tong Zijia became gentler and gentler. Tong Zijia only felt that she was like a piece of meat that had been targeted. It was rare for her to be so restless in such a comfortable environment.

After dinner, Grandpa Yuh went for a lunch break. Nanny Wang was already old, so Yuh Chengxu didn't ask her to stay and also called for her to go rest. Therefore, in the quiet mountain hut, only Tong Zijia and him were staring at each other.

Yuh Chengxu took out two baskets and two straw hats from the kitchen. He tilted his head and asked her, "Do you want to pick some strawberries?"

"Strawberry?" Tong Zijia admitted that she had been shocked. Weren't there only strawberries at the end of winter and in the spring? How could there be strawberries in such a hot weather?

Yuh Chengxu didn't explain too much, he just put one of the straw hats on her head and held her arm as they walked towards the back of the house.

There was a large area behind the main house, separated from each other by several large sheds. He walked towards the last one, and Tong Zijia followed him in, where she saw the fresh, tasty strawberries beckoning to her.

Yuh Chengxu didn't miss the moment when her eyes lit up. He couldn't help but smile as he handed the basket to her and said gently, "Go and pick as much as you want. You can bring what you can't finish back with you."

Tong Zijia looked at him suspiciously. She was wondering if he was trying to curry favor with her, but the faint fragrance of the strawberry was too enticing. She couldn't resist it, so she took the basket and walked towards the largest one.

She suddenly thought of something and turned her head to look for Yuh Chengxu, but she didn't expect him to be standing right behind her. With a turn of her head, the distance between the two of them was extremely close, and she could even clearly smell Yuh Chengxu's scent.

Tong Zijia could only hear her heart making a "ding" sound. Her breathing immediately became disorderly. She quickly took a step back and forcefully opened up a distance between the two of them. "About that, I want to ask, does it cost money?"

Yuh Chengxu saw her vigilantly pulling away from him, and a trace of danger couldn't help but flash past his eyes. After hearing her question, he glanced at her with a smile that wasn't a smile: "What do you think? "Girlfriend, huh?"

"Tch." Tong Zijia rolled her eyes at him in annoyance. She turned around and focused on picking the strawberries, but in her heart, she was extremely annoyed that she had asked such a stupid question. It was all his fault that he was so close to her, causing her to forget everything else and blurt out such a stupid question.

Staying in the shed for almost an hour, Tong Zijia finally managed to fill both baskets. Looking at the strawberries that filled the basket, she felt an indescribable sense of comfort in her heart, following Yuh Chengxu back, just as she rounded the corner and saw a familiar figure at the door, Tong Zijia instantly froze her back. The next second, when Yuh Chengxu was about to go out, she quickly grabbed his hand and pulled him back a few steps, completely hiding in the corner.

"Why?" Yuh Chengxu turned around and looked at her.

Tong Zijia wanted to cry but had no tears. How could there be such a coincidence, what kind of status did Yuh Chengxu have? How could he have a relationship with her dad? If he saw her here, with his status as Yuh Chengxu's girlfriend, he would probably eat her up.

No, definitely not to be discovered. Tong Zijia thought like this and pulled Yuh Chengxu back a bit. She handed the basket over to him and said, "I just realized that I have something to do. Can we go first? This basket of strawberries will be my apology. How about it?"

Tong Zijia was probably the only one who could do such an unreasonable thing like giving it to her master. She pulled on his sleeve guiltily, putting her hands together, and said, "Okay, that won't count this time. I'll do it again. I really have something to do now, so I must leave first."

Yuh Chengxu saw that she was almost crying, so he nodded his head slowly and signaled her to stay in the car while he went into the house to get something.

Tong Zijia smiled gratefully at him, then carefully stuck out half of her head like a turtle. Seeing that there was no one at the door, she quickly ran to the car and sat down.

After a long while, when Tong Zijia was still frightened that her dad might find out about it, Yuh Chengxu finally arrived, holding a bag of strawberries in his hands.

He sat in the car and handed the bag over to her. "The old man heard that you like to eat strawberries, so he asked me to bring some for you."

Tong Zijia was relieved when she saw Yuh Chengxu drive away. She happily hugged the bag of strawberries in her arms, looking like she really liked it.

Tong Zijia's favorite was strawberries. She had thought that if someone proposed to her with a basket of strawberries in the future, she might even bend her waist for them.

It had been a long time since Yuh Chengxu contacted her after they left Pine Mountain that day. Tong Zijia slowly finished all the strawberries in the fridge and suddenly missed the shed full of strawberries.

These two days were the last two days of the internship. Lui Ye received notice of a correction early in the morning. As long as he obtained the graduation certificate, he could officially sign the contract with the company. However, Tong Zijia and Han Pannqi did not receive any notice.

Tong Zijia originally didn't want to stay here. She only wanted to open her own restaurant after graduation and cook all kinds of delicious food. Her internship was just to cope with the school, so that she wouldn't fail.

Han Pannqi, on the other hand, was different. She had invested a lot of resumes into other companies, but it was clear that she did not succeed, so she had to bet all her money on her internship. When she saw that her internship was almost over and she still had not received any notice of a change in her status, she couldn't help but feel anxious.

Tong Zijia was aware of Han Pannqi's recent situation. Personnel had long since drawn up the list of new employees, so Tong Zijia knew that Han Pannqi was like an ant on a hot pan, anxious and confused. But she was not anxious, she still had a present to give to Han Pannqi, she did not know if she would be unable to bear it in a short time and would not be able to accept her present.
