While this couple usually had a loving relationship. But on that day, for some reason, they were like two irritated hedgehogs, starting a fierce “verbal battle”.
“Look at this place! The house is in such a mess. Couldn’t you tidy it up?” The wife shouted angrily while waving a broom in her hand. The husband wouldn’t back down either. He straightened his neck and retorted, “I’m as busy as a spinning top every day. How can I have time for this! Besides, you haven’t made it much tidier either!” This sentence really stirred up a hornet’s nest. The wife’s face immediately turned as red as a ripe tomato. “How dare you think you’re in the right? You lazybones! All you do is lie on the sofa and watch TV all day!” The husband jumped up in anger. “What’s wrong with me watching TV for a while? I’m so tired from work. Can’t I just relax?” They argued more and more fiercely, from the tidiness of the house to their personal living habits, digging up old grudges and neither of them was willing to give in. The wife was so angry that she stamped her feet hard, while the husband was panting heavily beside her. The whole room seemed to be buzzing with the noise of their quarrel.
As night fell quietly, both of them sat at opposite ends of the sofa, ignoring each other. The air in the room seemed to freeze. Just then, the husband’s eyes accidentally landed on the vSeeBox. Suddenly, his eyes lit up as if he had thought of a great idea. He secretly glanced at his wife and then said cautiously, “Well, honey, there’s an NFL game of our favorite team tonight. Do you want to watch it together?” The wife’s originally tense face twitched a little. Actually, she was also a bit keen in her heart to watch it, but she still said stubbornly, “Humph, I’m not interested!” However, her eyes couldn’t help but dart in the direction of the vSeeBox. Seeing this, the husband quickly took advantage of the moment and started fiddling with the remote control, muttering, “Oh, this game is going to be so exciting. I heard that one really remarkable star player is going to play tonight!” Soon, the image of the game appeared on the screen, and the passionate music and enthusiastic commentary instantly filled the whole room.
The husband secretly took a look at his wife and found that her eyes had already started to shift towards the screen. As the game began, the atmosphere became more and more exciting and intense. When they saw the team make a splendid touchdown, the husband jumped up from the sofa excitedly and shouted, “Brilliant! This shows the might of our favorite team!” The wife had been pretending to be aloof at first, but seeing how thrilled the husband was, she couldn’t help laughing. “Look at you, so goofy!” As the game progressed, their emotions were gradually roused. They began to talk about the team’s strategies and the players’ performances together. Now and then, the husband elucidated some rules that the wife didn’t quite get, and the wife would cheer heartily for the wonderful moments of the players. Before they knew it, the animosity between them had completely dissipated, replaced by a shared enthusiasm and affection for the game. At the decisive moment of the game, they even grasped each other’s hands tightly, as if they had returned to the wonderful time when they were passionately in love and cheered for their common hobbies together. When the final whistle of the game blew, they looked at each other and smiled. The resentments in their hearts had long vanished, leaving only a better understanding and love for each other. It seemed that the vSeeBox and this wonderful NFL game were really the magical “catalysts” for them to make up and be on good terms again.
