My teammates, whom I had lost contact with for so long, suddenly reappeared with me today.
This was not unexpected for Lofan. 16 Pigeons had betrayed him for so long without any sign of getting Griffin back, and today he suddenly ran into his former teammates. It was hard to accept no matter how you looked at it.
M16 slowly climbed out of the cabinet, looking at his teammates with a complicated expression.
Then, he looked at himself.
It's like a bullet from an M16 gun, ready to pierce you in the next second.
Luo Fan gasped, but remained unmoved.
The AR team was destined to reach this point.
After a few seconds of stalemate, M16's gaze softened somewhat, but he still silently left the room and went to the balcony.
"Wait! M16...."
M4 was about to step forward to stop the other person when he felt a warm touch on his hand.
His own commander took his hand and shook his head at him.
"Let me do it."
In situations like this, if M4 doesn't remain calm, the situation might backfire.
Then let me, the former commander of the AR squad, handle it.
Luo Fan winked at AR15 and RO beside him.
The other party understood immediately, patted M4 on the shoulder, and silently led him out.
Dog was a bit confused about the situation. Although he had a lot of questions for M16, he still ran out with his teammates.
After his girls left, Luo Fan locked the door from the inside and went out onto the balcony.
The balcony of the new house is very large; you can even have a BBQ for two on it.
Meanwhile, Pigeon 16 pulled out a bottle of Jack Daniel's from somewhere, along with two old-fashioned glasses, and filled them to the brim.
It seems they knew all along that someone would come.
PS: It is recommended to wear headphones and play If Melancholy Were Music by Fabrizio Paterlini here to enhance the reading experience.
Luo Fan understood what M16 meant, walked over to 16 Pigeon's side, and picked up his own full wine glass.
The two stood on the balcony like two weathered old men, looking at the ocean of skyscrapers stretching out before them.
If these two were to wear suits, people might mistakenly think that this city was their shared empire.
But the two of them were just holding onto the handrail and having a drink together.
Luo Fan raised his glass, indicating that he wanted to clink glasses with M16.
M16 also cooperated by raising its cup and touching it to Luo Fan's cup.
The two then drank it all in one gulp.
Luo Fan turned the cup upside down to show his sincerity, and M16 did the same.
Moreover, M16's lips seemed to have a slight curve.
Luo Fan didn't say anything, but simply handed the cup to M16 again.
M16 also opened the bottle, poured the wine in, and then poured some for himself as well.
The two clinked their glasses again and drank it all in one gulp.
This cycle repeats itself...
Meanwhile, everyone in the living room
M4 sat on the sofa with her legs drawn up, burying her face in her arms.
RO and AR15 were also quite upset when they saw this.
"M4, trust the commander. He has always been able to solve problems for us, and this time will be no different."
RO gently patted M4's back, but M4 still didn't react.
Looking at the M4 in front of him, AR15 felt very sorry for it, but there was nothing he could do.
Comforting others is ultimately not my forte.
SOP II, on the other hand, kept circling around M4, trying to make M4 happy.
RO knew it was only when she noticed a drop of clear liquid slowly flowing down M4's thigh that she realized what was happening.
This matter is beyond their control.
The two people on the balcony did not stop even after half an hour had passed.
Jack Daniel's whiskey has an alcohol content of 40%, which is already considered a spirit. Even though Lovan was already a heavy drinker, he still drank it with M16.
M16 had only a faint blush on her face, and her slightly tipsy appearance contrasted with her eye patch and scars, making her unique charm even more apparent.
Looking at Luo Fan, who couldn't even straighten his head, M16 said, "You're like this, why are you still drinking?"
Luo Fan swirled his wine glass, a satisfied smile on his face, and said, "Drink, how can you not drink? Today is the day the AR team reunites. If they don't drink, who will drink with you?"
Luo Fan laughed loudly and patted M16's shoulder, not taking the other's seemingly worried tone to heart.
M16 maintained a faint smile throughout.
Yes, that's how my commander is. No matter how crazy or chaotic a tactical doll like me gets, my commander will go crazy with me.
Even when you're in dire straits, he can still offer you a refreshing glass of Jack Daniel's while you're struggling to find a solution.
Although I am not in dire straits, it is worse than dire straits.
"Commander, if our positions were reversed, would you leave a glass for me here, and would I still have the chance to come here and receive your kindness...?"
M16 didn't care why she suddenly appeared in this unknown place; she only cared about her teammates and her commander.
Although it all happened a little early, she was still very happy.
But how should I face them?
"As long as I'm here, whether it's a glass of wine or a gesture of goodwill, you'll always have a share, and so will the AR team."
Luo Fan made what he thought was a cool expression and raised his glass to M16.
"16 Pigeons, I won't send you to drag corpses in 0-2 anymore, trust me."
"..."
M16 looked at Luo Fan speechlessly.
Then, he burst into laughter.
"I believe you, Commander, but what about my sisters?"
M16 once again adopted that melancholy expression.
Time has etched its mark on my forehead; a thousand words cannot express my sorrow.
This is the situation M16 faces, along with his former teammates.
Luo Fan had certainly thought about this question.
As 16 Pigeon said, if our situations were reversed, would our relationship still be as good as it was back then?
Perhaps you can do it yourself, but for your partner who has risked their life for you, it should be easier, but it may also be more difficult. It all depends on whether the other person can understand you.
M4 might be able to, but 16 pigeons would still be apprehensive about it.
Luo Fan offered a common-sense suggestion: "Why don't you go and talk to them tonight?"
"How do we talk?" M16 stared at the empty wine glass in his hand, his eyes filled with emptiness.
"That depends on you."
Luo Fan patted M16 on the shoulder, then turned and walked to the doorway.
Unlocking the door, Luo Fan peeked out and saw the little princess with her head down and her teammates.
RO also looked at himself, his eyes filled with urgency, as if he wanted to get an answer.
Luo Fan stretched out his hand and gave an OK sign.
Then, AR15 and RO gave themselves a thumbs up.
Luo Fan smiled slightly, then returned to the room and closed the door.
After locking the door, Lovan returned to M16's side.
"How is it? They all have a lot of questions for you."
"Why am I not?"
Even so, M16 still found it hard to be happy.
They have the right to know the whole truth, yet they, who are usually so bold, are now so cowardly.
"I'll give you some private space tonight so you can think about how to resolve this issue."
Luo Fan patted M16 on the shoulder and left, leaving M16 alone.
A gentle breeze ruffled her white hair, and her past scars, as if offering her comfort, yet also as a cruel mockery.
At this moment, even the usually resilient and tenacious M16 couldn't help but feel sentimental at the sight of the scene.
This head of white hair is the farewell gift she left for the past when she said goodbye to it.
Finally, a single tear rolled down her cheek.
But as it dripped onto her cheek, M16 stuck out her tongue and licked it into her mouth.
As a senior, I have to bear the burden and suppress the bitterness.
Is it really?
M16 doesn't know, but perhaps one day in the future, time and the future will give her an answer.
Looking at the ring on her hand, the confusion in M16's eyes did not fade in the slightest.
After a long pause, as if relieved, M16 gave a bitter smile, turned and left the room, leaving behind only the empty bottle of Jack Daniel's and two old-fashioned glasses on the armrest, gleaming in the sunlight.
P.S.: Please, everyone, take a look at my side story and give me your feedback! I'm really begging you!

After leaving, Luo Fan did not immediately leave the room; he waited for M16.
Only after M16 returned from the balcony did Luo Fan feel relieved.
Just as he was about to leave the room with M16, the cabinet door made another noise.
However, compared to the previous chaotic collision sounds, this time there was a rhythmic thumping sound.
Both of them heard the noise, but Luo Fan waved for M16 to go out first. M16 didn't ask any questions, unlocked the door, and left the room.
Luo Fan did not open the door quickly, but pulled it open very slowly.
According to my own ideas, this can give me the thrill of drawing cards.
Since the entire AR team has already appeared, and now there's another one here, Luo Fan truly doesn't know who it is.
After the cabinet door moved four centimeters, Luo Fan saw a small, white foot.
"???"
Who is this?
Luo Fan paused in confusion, but continued anyway.
Then, a section of white cloth was revealed.
The material of the white coat.
Luo Fan had a bad feeling.
Finally, Luo Fan couldn't hold back any longer and suddenly pulled open the cabinet door.
That striking pink hair and cat ears, those heavy dark circles under her eyes that made her look almost divine, plus her unkempt way of dressing.
"Pascal?"
