The scenery at the top of the mountain was not only beautiful but also spectacular. The blue sky was cloudless and the continuous green mist lingered, bringing with it an illusory and hazy beauty.
Ms. Lewis clapped her hands three times and called everyone to the front. “You can do whatever you want now. But you must pay attention to silence. Keep your phone switched on.”
Everyone dispersed. Some enjoyed the scenery while others took photos. Sam had almost finished taking photos so he took out a box of cards from his backpack and waved it at Serenity. “Do you want to play a few rounds?”
Since there was nothing to do, Serenity dragged Gabriel along to participate. Sam called another two male colleagues to join in.
In the past, John and Calvin Gilbert often played cards, so Serenity learned a little from them. In fact, she’d say her skills weren’t too bad.
Before they started, Sam explained the rules. The loser would stick a note on their foreheads. Serenity was about to ask where they would find a note when Sam took out a pack of tissues from his backpack.
Gabriel must have been her lucky charm because every hand Serenity played was pretty good.
Even if she was about to lose, the man beside her could still turn things around for her. After a few rounds, Sam and the other two had a note stuck on their faces, and she had one on her right cheek.
Serenity only got that note because Gabriel had received a phone call halfway through. By the time he returned, Serenity had already lost and Sam was happily pasting a note on her right cheek.
Since the game was over, he couldn’t save her even if he wanted to. He could only watch as the note on her cheek flapped in the wind.
Serenity’s dark eyes looked at him with a hint of grievance and the corners of his lips curled up into a faint smile. He softly said, “It’s alright. I will get back at the person who bullied you, with interest too.”
Gabriel took the cards from her hand. Following that, Sam and the other two were abused to the point they started whining. Sam was the main target and he felt as if he could vomit blood. His entire face was plastered with notes.
“You’re not allowed to change players midway,” said Sam, who lost again.
As he spoke, his breath blew out from his nostrils, causing the notes around him to dance in the air. Serenity could not help but laugh out loud. Then, she took the cards from Gabriel’s hands. “You advice. I’ll play.”
Each win entitled the player to remove a note from their face. So by then, Serenity’s face was free of the note earlier.
She was good at playing cards, and with Gabriel as her advisor, Sam and the other two had no chance of winning.
After losing two more rounds, Sam decided to call it quits. He looked up at the sky and sighed. “The combination of Yin and Yang makes you invincible. Your tenacity is too shameless!”
Although his words weren’t elegant, Gabriel felt extremely satisfied after hearing them. He didn’t continue to beat him up and instead beat up the other two colleagues.
It was almost lunchtime so Sam put away the cards and everyone went to pick up firewood to prepare for the barbecue.
This event was suggested by the group and planned by Ms. Lewis who had always been thorough in her work, so there was enough food for Serenity and Gabriel too.
Sam and another colleague set up props for everyone to barbecue with. A female colleague from the editorial department helped them.
Serenity shouted at the busy Sam, asking, “How are you holding up? Everyone is waiting.”
“Don’t be fooled by the fact that he’s a real man; his hobbies are like those of a woman.” A female colleague from the photography department raised two fingers, saying, “He has two major hobbies in his life..”
