Redeeming The Golden Ticket To Life - Chapter 59: Game Night
****
After dinner, I set up a gaming unit in the study room.
I already arranged for three gaming consoles. Tonight we are going to play as a team.
“Boys we are playing COD tonight, I’m guessing you all have an account in it right?” I asked around.
“Yes, I do.” Zhang Wei spoke up.
(Actually, me and Zhang Wei always spend our downtime playing COD so it’s natural for him to have one.)
“Me too. I have an account in this game, but it’s too old. I haven’t played the game in a long time,” replied Qiang.
“Okay, tonight is as good as any other night. Let’s chill out,” I said to them.
We arrange the consoles swiftly. Then logged into the game.
“What are we doing tonight?”
“We are raiding the highrise,” I informed them.
They were on-board with the map so we started gaming.

[POV Hu Qiang]
I felt strangely alien and out of my comfort zone here.
I can feel that Zhang Wei and Bai Chang play COD frequently if not regularly.
We picked up the Highrise map.
We quickly picked our mission and walked on, there, on the screen, there was a highrise with a hostage situation.
We each were at different parts of the map.
“Wei move to your left” Bai Chang took charge from the get-go.
“Umm-hmm”
“Qiang 20m forward”
“On It” I replied.
We walked into the back alley of the highrise.
“Guys the enemy is in the dark, while we are in the open. We need to get hold of their comms tower and then move onwards floor by floor.”
“There would be watchdogs all over the place.” Zhang Wei stated.
(I am confused, are we even playing right now, it feels more like a battle preparation.)
I simply witness how swiftly my wife and her steward stormed through the map and achieved the game objective as well as planned an entire counterplan to some random real-life event.
(I really feel like my wife and her steward are dope! They really know what they are doing.)
The night wane on, while we played the game a couple more times.
‘GAME OVER’
It flashed on the screen.
“Okay, folks lets call it a night,” I said.
“Okay” both of them replied together.
(It really makes me itchy to see them so well gelled and understand each other.)
Zhang Wei left us alone in the study room.
While Bai Chang walked towards me.
“I smell a strong scent of vinegar on you, what brand is it from?” She asked playfully.
I too replied, “its called wife’s torture, like what you see?”
“Umm-hmm. Love it.”
“So where are we sleeping tonight?” I asked her.
“You are going to your designated guest room, while I move towards my bedroom.”
“Oh my Queen, you are cold!” I grimaced at her reply.
She simply smiled at me and gave me a quick peck on my cheeks and ran off…
‘Oh dear, my wife is a handful’ I thought to myself.
