Reunion

Inside an internet cafe.

A white-haired man was sitting in front of his computer playing a war simulation game when he heard curses coming from the game microphone.

"No, the commander has retreated?"

"Damn it, Commander, you can't use your mic? Are you kidding me?"

"Alright, alright, I'll leave first. Let these foreigners have their fun."

The white-haired man frowned, but just then, a slender hand patted his shoulder, "Brother Wei..."

The white-haired man turned to look at the owner of the voice. It was an ordinary-looking girl who was sitting next to him, not on the computer, but just watching him play the game.

"If it doesn't work, let's try the next one."

The white-haired man grinned upon hearing this, "Tomorrow and tomorrow and tomorrow, there are so many tomorrows. If you don't dare to try, you'll never succeed!"

"If you want me to admit defeat, then kill me in real life first!"

"All squads, all squads, respond! The commander has temporarily logged off, so I am temporarily in command!"

"All teams, all teams, e in!"

"Because the mander's off the line, and now I'm in mand!"

At first, no one answered him, but as he repeated himself several times, people gradually began to respond.

"Yes."

"Squad E can hear you."

"Team A is here."

The white-haired man glanced at the other party's ID; the captain of Squad D was named Arthur.

"Okay, Team D, follow my orders."

"Arthur, please lead your D squad to area C3 and rendezvous with the E squad. I want you to form a pincer movement."

"Squad A, can you hear me?"

"I can hear it."

"Very good. I want you to build trenches and supply depots on the spot. The enemy wants to take our headquarters directly, but we can't let them get there!"

"Can the tank crew hear me?"

"I can hear you. My name is Nairasojin, Commander."

"Very good, Nairasojin, now I want you to immediately turn around and proceed along the F2 route to intercept the enemy's main infantry force!"

"Attention, F Squad! Our Tiger tanks are about to reach area F3. Please assist the Tiger tanks in intercepting the main enemy infantry force!"

"Yes, sir!"

"C3 has been captured, Commander!"

"Very good, well done. Team D, stay where you are and set up traps. Team E, I now want you to advance towards area B4. If you encounter any enemies, report to me immediately!"

As the white-haired man began to give commands, the scattered and disorganized squads in the game gradually began to move towards order.

Soon, they reversed their losing streak and pushed the battle line back!

The white-haired man grinned. "Not bad. Keep up the momentum, and then turn the tide, comrades!"

"This is our war!"

On the second floor of the same internet cafe, a middle-aged man wearing glasses was playing the same game.

"The enemy commander seems to be a completely different person, Dr. Otto."

The middle-aged man Otto nodded. "I roughly know what they want to do, but how come these guys are suddenly so accurate with their marksmanship, like they've been injected with adrenaline?"

"Is it because of the enemy commander?"

"G Squad, listen up! The enemy Tiger tanks are approaching you. I want you to abandon the attack on the enemy headquarters now and instead scatter to find the enemy commander and carry out a decapitation strike."

"Enemy detected in Sector E!"

Otto adjusted his glasses. "Entering a delaying tactic, this should be a feint by the enemy."

"I thought victory was in the bag, but I didn't expect the opponent to turn the tide and launch an attack. Interesting, I haven't encountered a match like this in a long time."

A girl behind Otto sighed helplessly, "Doctor, stop playing around, we have important things to do..."

Otto said, "Right now, winning this battle is my priority."

"Mo Yan, watch your left front."

Otto said to a young man beside him.

Mo Yan turned his head and said, "Doctor, you're giving orders while you're also looking at me?"

An hour and a half later.

The game finally came to an end, and the white-haired man smiled as he looked at the victory on the screen.

"It is an honor to command you in battle; this honor belongs to all of you."

The white-haired man stood up after speaking, and the black-haired woman beside him was also very surprised, "They actually won?"

The white-haired man waved his hand. "Failure is not terrible. What is terrible is that you are afraid of failure and dare not take a chance."

"Difficulties can only prevail over the weak, but they can never defeat the true warriors."

The white-haired man was about to leave the internet cafe when several men and women suddenly came down from the second floor.

"That battle was such a pity... The tactics were perfectly fine, but the enemy's fighting strength suddenly surged, and we were completely crushed in a head-on confrontation. How could this happen?"

"Doctor, what do you think?"

Otto fell into deep thought. At that moment, he saw the white-haired man on the first floor, and the white-haired man also saw him.

For some reason, the two of them smiled knowingly.

"Oh, it's you."

"That's what I wanted to say too. That battle was brilliant. Let's fight together again next time."

Inside a private residence.

An ordinary-looking middle-aged man was chopping meat with a knife, chopping with great force.

The man's name was Wang Haonan. He was an ordinary worker and an honest person.

As Wang Haonan chopped the meat, he recalled something.

"I used to love my job and work hard. Later, through an introduction, I met my current wife."

"My wife is very beautiful. At first, she was very good to me, and we were very loving, until after a while..."

"When I came home that day, I found the house a mess, and my wife was lying on the sofa watching TV, not cooking, not washing clothes, and not doing any housework at all..."

"So I started thinking, what am I working so hard outside to earn money and desperately paying off my loans... all for?"

"I was overwhelmed with mixed feelings. At that moment, impulse overwhelmed my reason!"

"I took leave from work and didn't go to work for several days in a row. I devoted myself to cleaning and got rid of all the 'garbage' in the house."

"Even his wife is gone..."

"Because she went back to her parents' home."

Wang Haonan wiped the sweat from his forehead.

"Honey, the soup is ready!"

A woman ran over barefoot, "Hehe, honey, you worked hard cooking. I'll do the dishes tonight!"

"Really, my mom has already criticized me, and I've reflected on it. You work so hard to earn money outside, and it's really unacceptable for me to make such a mess of the house."

"From now on, I'll take care of all the housework!"

"Of course, you'll still have to do the cooking for now, since my cooking is just awful..."

"But I will study hard!"

Wang Haonan smiled and said, "It's alright. I also enjoy cooking. There's no rush. Let's take it slow."
