"I can't believe we've hit a snag like this."
Lin Xingjie picked up a deck of playing cards, reluctantly saying,
"Are we still going to play cards?"
Xu Xiangyang glanced at her.
"Do you still want to play?"
"Damn, why are you looking at me with that expression..."
The long-haired girl curled her hand back, defensively glaring at herself.
"You're not allowed to hit me again!"
Xu Xiangyang was taken aback. He was reminded of the times when he had to 'educate' her for being playful by smacking her palms with a ruler. His girlfriend, with tears welling up and looking pitiful, had stirred a hint of affection in him.
Unfortunately, he didn't bring the ruler with him... No, that's not right.
He coughed.
"Not anymore, it's the holidays, let's just enjoy ourselves."

"We'll head to the hotel first," said the tour guide, "There's still some way to go, and we have arranged lunch for everyone, so don't worry."
