Bab 344: Instant Melatonin Seaweed Soup
"Hey, where are you?"
"I'm at the Golden Butterfly Park, taking it slow."
"Well, you're really slow. I've already finished the game. Let me tell you, Alice died."
"What? Are you kidding me?"
"No, I'm serious!"
"Cough, cough, what are you doing? Get back to work! Stop discussing irrelevant things!"
In a company in Japan, a few colleagues gathered quietly during their break to chat. Of course, the team leader had to reprimand them.
These guys were getting more and more out of hand. They were discussing Mario 64, then Need for Speed, and now Final Fantasy 7. These video games were really annoying, as if there were never-ending fun games.
Even he, almost forty years old, sometimes felt the urge to play games when he saw kids playing with their clumsy moves. Before, no one chased after him when he was young.
But that didn't stop him from fantasizing about his youth through this game. A smart and understanding woman, and a woman with a big chest, strong and gentle at the same time. These were almost the two types of women many men desired.
It must be said that the creators of this game really understood human nature.
Wait, what were those colleagues talking about just now? Who died? No... it couldn't be, could it?
Throughout the day, this boss couldn't concentrate on his work because of one sentence from his employees. Who died?
This question made it difficult for him to focus all day. No, he had to speed up tonight. He had to see who died. He knew he could find out online, but he wanted to see it with his own eyes.
This situation made him not even pay attention to his employees slacking off later.
He just hoped to finish work quickly.
Finally, at nine in the evening, he almost ran out of the company, rushing home as fast as he could.
"Ah, honey, you're back. It's early today. No dinner tonight?"
Returning home, his wife, who was a homemaker, was surprised that her husband came home early today. Usually, even after work, he would spend most of his time dining with his colleagues, deepening their relationships, a routine operation in Japanese workplaces.
But recently, her husband had been coming home quite early. It seemed to be because of that game console. The wife was happy because her husband could stay at home more, making her feel like they had a complete family.
The only downside was that her husband, even when he came home early, didn't talk much to her. Instead, he would focus solely on playing games.
"No, I have something to do today. Is our son asleep?"
"Not yet, he's still playing games."
"This brat, doesn't he know he has school tomorrow? I'll go teach him a lesson." The boss showed an angry look and went to the living room.
But the wife was puzzled. Today was Friday.
From the room came the voice of her husband reprimanding their son.
"Brat, go to bed! Do you know you have school tomorrow?!"
"Dad! Dad! I'm at a critical point in the game. Don't make me sleep yet. And today is Friday, tomorrow is the weekend! Let me play a little longer!"
"I don't care. Go to bed, or I'll beat you!"
Not long after, the child came out of the living room with a sad face, apparently being driven out by his father.
"Alright, sweetheart, go to bed. Your father has had a hard day, let him relax. You can play all day tomorrow."
The gentle mother calmed the child down.
"Mom, you're really like Alice, so understanding. When I grow up, I want to find a wife like Alice."
The homemaker had question marks all over her head.
Alice? Who was that?
Why did you say I'm understanding, and then suddenly say you want to find a wife like Alice?
Really strange.
But she still gently comforted her child and sent him to bed.
About half an hour later, she quietly walked out of the bedroom, trying not to wake the child, and went to the kitchen to prepare supper for her husband.
Her husband had a busy day, and it seemed he would stay up late playing games again, so she had to prepare some good food for him.
But at that moment, she vaguely heard her husband's voice from the living room.
"Tifa, Alice, I'm here!"
The homemaker's ears immediately perked up.
Alice?
Her son mentioned this name just now.
And said he wants to find a wife like Alice.
She realized this should be a character in the game.
Although she had never played video games, she still knew a little about the content of video games.
She didn't expect that her husband, besides their son, would also be immersed in it.
And it seemed that he had also fallen in love with the female characters in the game, not just one, but two at a time?
This guy...
The homemaker's hand holding the ladle trembled slightly.
Forget it, she was just about to prepare a sumptuous supper for her husband, now she would just give him a bowl of instant seaweed soup and some melatonin, let this guy go to bed quickly, what's with all this playing?
So she put away the fresh ingredients she had prepared and just left the rice and curry ingredients arranged. Then, she scooped out some bone soup left in the pot.
For her husband, who was completely engrossed in the game, he didn't notice the shrinkage of supper. His whole being was already completely immersed in the game and couldn't extricate himself.
"Wuwu, Alice, my Alice."
The homemaker: ???
This jerk, forget about the big bone soup, I'll just give him a bowl of instant seaweed soup and add some melatonin to let this jerk go to bed quickly. What's he playing at?!
So she re-prepared the rice and curry ingredients, leaving the bone soup that was still in the pot.
At the same time, her ears remained erect, listening to the movements in the living room.
"Alice is so understanding, such a good woman."
"Tifa is also good, gentle and kind."
Homemaker: ...
Calm down, calm down, it's just a game character. There's no need to be jealous of a game character, it's not like it can come out and snatch your husband.
And even if it did, such outstanding women probably wouldn't look at her husband.
But still, don't prepare curry rice for her husband. Just give him a bowl of instant seaweed soup and add some melatonin to let this jerk go to bed quickly. What's he playing at?
