Chapter 919: Chapter 916: You Are The One I Chose At First Sight

Once Zhang Chengzhi finished giving his instructions and came back, Tong Xiaohua immediately asked.

"Uncle Zhang, the sister just now said that you have an orchard here? Can we go pick oranges or star fruits?"

Zhang Chengzhi nodded with a smile, "Of course you can. Whenever you want to go, I can take you. If you come in May or June, you can also pick lychees."

Tong Laoda looked at his wife’s slightly pale face, "Ah Zhi, find someone to take Xiao Hua and the others to the orchard, and your big sister-in-law and I will just sit here and have a cup of tea and catch up."

Zhang Chengzhi called a young guy over to lead Yan Bo and Tong Xiaohua for a tour around the orchard.

Several young people walked out, leaving the three elders to chat in the reception room.

"Big brother, Xiao Hua’s boyfriend looks like a fine young man, not at all like he is from the underworld!"

Zhang Chengzhi had been hiding in this remote mountainous area these past two years, working on this resort, and was not aware of the outside situation. Therefore, he knew nothing about Yan Bo’s background and subconsciously thought he was someone with a similar background to them.

Tong Laoda glared at him, "Who said he is from the underworld?"

Zhang Chengzhi was very surprised, "Ah? He’s not? Then what is he, a rich second generation?"

Even though he couldn’t tell Yan Bo’s background, Yan Bo’s demeanor certainly didn’t seem like one from a poor family.

Tong Laoda shook his head, "He can’t be considered a rich second generation; his family holds official posts."

Tong Laoda didn’t want to discuss too much about Yan Bo’s background in front of Shen Weiyao; he always had a worry in his heart, feeling that Yan Bo’s family background was a time bomb. However, he was convinced that Yan Bo had the ability to defuse the situation.

Zhang Chengzhi was even more surprised and frowned slightly, "His family holds official positions? Then his family..."

Zhang Chengzhi was cut off mid-sentence by a glare from Tong Laoda, and promptly realized it was best not to continue.

Shen Weiyao, who wasn’t deaf, took up the conversation, "His elder brother has met Xiao Hua and didn’t say anything negative. Besides, when it comes to relationships, it’s most important that the two people involved are happy. Xiao Yan is a very responsible person, I think there’s no need to worry too much."

Shen Weiyao had faced intense opposition from her family when she first got together with Tong Laoda, but as it turned out, even without her family’s blessing, she had still lived happily over the years.

Zhang Chengzhi dared not say any more, and after drinking tea with the couple for a while, he accompanied them for a walk outside.

Tong Xiaohua and Yan Bo followed the staff out of the resort lobby and walked along the mountain edge for about fifteen minutes, then saw a large orange garden ahead filled with yellow, ripe fruits.

"I really want to eat them!"

Tong Xiaohua had never mentioned it, but her favorite fruit was the orange. As she said this, she couldn’t help but gulp down saliva.

Yan Bo saw her eager look and couldn’t help but curl his lips upward.

"You like oranges?"

"Mhm!" Tong Xiaohua’s gaze was already glued to those ripe oranges and wouldn’t budge.

"Miss, Mr. Yan, do you each want a basket, or will one basket suffice?"

The young man leading them over conjured up two baskets, and in each basket, there were also scissors.

"Just one!" Yan Bo answered.

"Two!" Tong Xiaohua said.

Yan Bo then smiled and took one of the baskets from the young man’s hand, "Then let’s take two. Let’s have a competition, see who can pick more and faster!"

Tong Xiaohua also took a basket, "A competition? Bring it on, I’m not afraid of you!"

It seems these two are addicted to competing!

In the morning it was running, now it’s picking oranges.

The young man glanced at Tong Xiaohua subconsciously, "Miss, do you need me to carry the basket for you?"

He only heard the boss call her Miss and didn’t know she was adept with her hands; now, he just thought of her as a delicate young lady from a wealthy family, feeling a pang of sympathy for her.

This Miss looked indeed like a beauty, how could her boyfriend bear it? Not a hint of gentlemanly behavior!

Tong Xiaohua could tell that the young man wanted to help her, but she didn’t need anyone’s help.

"No need! Just tell us how to pick them!"

The young man demonstrated with a pair of scissors but still wasn’t reassured, following a short distance behind Tong Xiaohua.

Only when he saw how adept and decisive Tong Xiaohua was did he realize his concern was somewhat unnecessary.

"You go back to your work, we’ll make our way back on our own later," Tong Xiaohua said, not wanting to keep him from his job, instructing him as she tiptoed and snipped off a large, yellow orange from the tree with a "snip."

The young man stood behind them for a while longer, also feeling that his presence was a bit superfluous, "Then I’ll head back first, if you walk to the end of this garden, you’ll find the carambola garden, where you can pick star fruits freely."

After the young man left, Tong Xiaohua, who had been holding back from looking at Yan Bo’s harvest, finally couldn’t resist and, carrying the basket, trotted over to see what Yan Bo had in his basket.

In just a few minutes, she had already picked four or five big, yellow oranges for her basket, while Yan Bo’s basket sadly contained only one orange.

"How come you’ve only picked one?"

Tong Xiaohua didn’t believe such a trivial task could stump Yan Bo.

"Too many flowers, can’t focus on finding a good one," Yan Bo said, clearly troubled.

Tong Xiaohua gave him a look, "Is it the same when looking for a girlfriend?"

Yan Bo gazed at her, his eyes full of deep affection.

"A girlfriend is different; you were the one I set my sights on at first glance, after that I can’t see anyone else!"

Tong Xiaohua glared at him, "Cheesy!"

After reprimanding him, she quickly moved on ahead, raising her head and earnestly searching under a new tree for big, ripe oranges.

Yan Bo, either intentionally being modest or genuinely not liking the oranges on the tree, wandered around with his basket under one tree, then swung over to another, all the while observing Tong Xiaohua fill her basket with a small mountain of yellow oranges. And yet, his basket had only three or four oranges rolling around.

Tong Xiaohua came over again to check his progress, and he proactively shook his basket in front of her, "Better to have nothing than something shoddy."

Of course, Tong Xiaohua knew he was letting her win.

She figured it was because he had won so decisively that morning, he might be worried she’d get mad, so he was taking it easy this time.

Naturally, Tong Xiaohua wasn’t that petty, but since he as her boyfriend was willing to indulge her, she certainly didn’t mind!

After all, he himself had said that he was willing to pamper and spoil her, so letting her win a little bit was nothing wrong.

Tong Xiaohua mocked Young Master Yan Bo with a clear conscience for a few sentences, then handed her nearly half-filled basket of oranges to Yan Bo.

"It’s too heavy to carry!"

Yan Bo didn’t say anything, simply threw the scissors into the basket, slung his own over his shoulder, and, carrying Tong Xiaohua’s basket, followed behind her like an obedient little assistant.

Whenever Tong Xiaohua tiptoed, he would help by pulling the branch down a bit, allowing her to snip the fruit off.

For ones a little higher, he directly lifted her by the waist, raising her into the air so she could pick the fruit herself.
