Mr. Gu's wife is a little naughty

As night fell, the bustle of the city didn't fade away with the sunset. Instead, surrounded by neon lights, it wove a picture of a city that never sleeps. Lin Tao sat quietly inside, his gaze passing through the large floor-to-ceiling windows, gazing silently at the night sky outside, gently embraced by a myriad of lights. The city lights, like stars descending to earth, stained the sky with an unreal crimson, both brilliant and tinged with a sense of loneliness.

At the end of the horizon, several silver snake-like lightnings shuttled through the dark clouds, occasionally cutting through the sky, leaving behind fleeting brilliance. Their afterglow danced gently in Lin Tao's deep eyes, as if it was the most inadvertent brushstroke of nature, adding a bit of mystery and expectation to this urban night scene.

"Is it going to thunder?" Lin Tao took a sip of the wine in his hand and said lightly.

Ding ding~

The phone rang, he glanced down and saw a name jumping on the screen - Nakajima Mirei.

Speaking of which, this woman had been gone for quite a while, as if she had evaporated from the face of the earth. It was not until this time that Lin Tao got her information.

"Hello!" Lin Tao answered the phone.

"Do you miss me? You damn man!" On the other end of the phone, Nakajima Mirei's familiar and slightly provocative voice was as unrestrained as before.

There was a hint of playfulness and sincerity in her laughter, which made Lin Tao smile knowingly. "Let's get down to business. I'm a married woman now, and it seems inappropriate for you to tease me like this."

"Tsk! You sound so real! Do you dare to reveal your true identity to your little wife?"

Lin Tao's ears seemed to have heard the subtle expression of Nakajima Meiling, which was both contemptuous and charming, and was quietly transmitted through the invisible thread.

"Stop teasing you. Where are you now?" Nakajima Mirei's voice suddenly became soft and serious.

"At home, at my wife's house!" Lin Tao deliberately emphasized the word "wife".

"Okay! I was overthinking it." Nakajima Meiling smiled lightly, with a hint of relief in her words, "There will be a thunderstorm where you are tonight. You know your situation, so if possible, find a way to have your little wife stay by your side."

Lin Tao sighed softly, his eyes involuntarily drifting towards the crack in the door. A soft yet firm light was quietly leaking out, reflecting in his slightly complicated eyes, evoking a bitter smile.

"That's it, sister. I've found a lot of male models to accompany you tonight, so you just stay with your lovely wife! Good luck!"

Nakajima Meiling's words came like a torrential downpour, and before Lin Tao could savor them, they vanished like a kite with a broken string into the silence on the other end of the line. She was always like this, moving with the wind, leaving no room for compromise. Yet, she also made him yearn for the innocence and directness of their first encounter. Especially on a night like this, with its thunder and lightning, her concern was like a touch of tenderness from the past, arriving unexpectedly.

Lin Tao looked at the calm phone in his hand, and a gentle arc appeared on the corner of his mouth. After so many years, this silly woman is still the same as when they first met. Whenever there is a thunderstorm like this, she will always notify him first, or accompany him in person.

Siam, rainforest.

A flash of lightning streaked across the sky, suddenly revealing a group of figures cloaked in darkness. The pouring rain cast a silver glow over Nakajima Mirei's figure. Though her clothes clung to her body, outlining her frail figure, her beautiful face gleamed with undeniable tenacity and determination.

"Sister Hong, why don't you tell Brother Tao about what happened here?" A girl in camouflage uniform, who was also soaked by the rain, gasped with confusion, her eyes fixed on Nakajima Meiling, trying to find the answer from her eyes.

Nakajima Meiling gently raised her hand to brush away the raindrops that slid down her cheek. There was a hint of helplessness and relief in her action, and a bitter and complicated smile curled up at the corner of her mouth. "He still has important things to do. Let's quickly resolve the matter here and then go back to reunite with him."

The girl was silent, and a kind of tenacious light that coincided with Mirei Nakajima's quietly bloomed on her pretty face.

The girl's name is Hongxiu, also a member of the Cobra Special Forces. She has been following Nakajima Meiling for many years. She is the most insightful bystander of her captain Nakajima Meiling's hidden and subtle feelings - her deep attachment to Lin Tao. However, it is precisely this almost transparent emotion that makes her full of confusion: why did the tenacious, wise and brave Nakajima Meiling never take the courageous step and make a formal and affectionate confession when facing the love of her heart, Lin Tao?

crackle~

A sharp flash of lightning suddenly tore through the curtain of night, followed by a low and deep thunder that exploded in the sky.

Lin Tao was curled up in a corner of the sofa at the moment, and a rare, barely perceptible hint of fear flashed in his usually deep and calm eyes.

crackle~

Lightning flashed again, accompanied by thunder. Lin Tao's defenses finally crumbled at this moment. He clenched his fists, helplessly protecting his trembling forehead. He lowered his head deeply, burying it between his legs, like a wounded animal, seeking a tiny bit of comfort amidst endless fear and helplessness.

The air around him seemed frozen, with only the symphony of thunder and lightning ruthlessly tearing apart the tranquility of the night. Lin Tao's breathing became rapid and heavy, and every heartbeat was accompanied by a trembling fear of the unknown.

Around him, countless shadowy figures seemed to be quietly stalking, each with a distorted face and a hideous grin, like evil spirits crawling out of the abyss, ready to drag him into endless darkness. Lin Tao's body trembled violently and involuntarily, his eyes squeezed shut as if to block out the invisible terror. His breathing was rapid and uneasy, his chest rising and falling violently with each heavy gasp.

At this moment, a touch of tenderness broke the suffocating silence. The bedroom door quietly opened with a slight creaking sound.

Tian Tian, ​​dressed in a pink slip dress and pajamas, walked out of the room lightly, holding a cup of water. With the flick of a switch, the living room was suddenly embraced by soft light, dispelling the haze and uneasiness around her.

A gentle breeze blew in from the other end of the living room, piercing through the darkness and bringing a touch of coolness and freshness. Tian Tian looked toward the half-open French window, where flashes of lightning flashed in the distance.

"Why don't you close the window?" Tian Tian muttered to herself, a subtle hint of reproach in her voice. Then, she gently set down the cup of water in her hand and, with a long yawn, slowly walked towards the half-open window. Her fingertips lightly touched the window frame, and she closed it lightly and decisively, blocking out the last of the uninvited cool breeze from the outside world.

Tian Tian gently closed the window and turned around, an unusual scene quietly came into view. Lin Tao was curled up on the sofa, hugging himself tightly and trembling all over.

"Xia Tian?" Her sweet voice was filled with confusion and tenderness. She slowly walked to the sofa and sat down gently. Her hand, like a newly opened petal in spring, gently but firmly reached out to Lin Tao's clenched fist. "What's wrong with you?"

"Crack~"

A dull thunder exploded in the sky again, like the final blow of an ancient pendulum, making Lin Tao react like a frightened deer. Almost instinctively, he threw himself into Tian Tian's arms.

"No, what's wrong with you?" Tian Tian's voice was filled with a hint of panic she had never had before. She tried hard to push Lin Tao away from her arms, but the annoying thing was that Lin Tao hugged her very tightly, and his entire head almost buried in Tian Tian's arms.

"Hey, can you please get up first? Let's talk it over." Tian Tian's words revealed a hint of pleading, her cheeks quietly flushed due to this sudden intimacy. "Xia Tian, ​​can you please get up first? I can't breathe like this."

Tian Tian's words seemed to have some effect. Lin Tao held Tian Tian's hand less tightly, and Tian Tian successfully broke free from his hand.

"What's wrong with you?" Tian Tian stroked her chest with both hands, and slowly backed away with a hint of vigilance. The distance between them gradually widened in silence.

Lin Tao's face was as pale as paper, his breathing was inexplicably rapid and disordered, and he seemed shrouded in an invisible haze, looking particularly haggard. Seeing this, Tian Tian felt a surge of concern in her heart. She couldn't help but reach out her delicate hand and gently touch his slightly cool forehead with her fingertips. After carefully feeling it and confirming that he didn't have a fever, she felt a little relieved.

"You don't have a fever. Did you have a nightmare?" Tian Tian's words were filled with confusion and tenderness, and she looked at him deeply.

Lin Tao's gaze was as deep as the water in a cold pond. When he stared at Tian Tian, ​​it seemed as if he wanted to absorb her entire figure into those dark eyes, with an indescribable complex emotion.

"You... look like you've been drugged!" Tian Tian's words were tinged with uncertainty and panic. The familiar plots from online skits surfaced in her mind, and her heartstrings suddenly tightened. She instinctively folded her hands over her chest, her body involuntarily leaning back slightly, almost backing off the sofa.
