As soon as these words were uttered, it was like a thunderclap.
The entire dorm fell into a deathly silence.
The air seemed to have solidified.
Yang Zi and Yu Shuxin's mouths were agape, having completely forgotten their previous embarrassment.
Their minds were left with only Gu Lina Zha's calm yet shocking words.
Marriage?
Directly getting the certificate?
Isn't this progress a bit too fast?!
They were still in the stage of secretly admiring, while she was already thinking about the Civil Affairs Bureau?
Zhang Zifeng, who had been quiet and just listening, couldn't help but poke her head out from under the covers, her face full of disbelief.
"Naza-jie, are you... are you serious?" Zhang Zifeng asked cautiously.
"Of course, I'm serious." Gu Lina Zha's gaze didn't waver in the slightest.
"Wow, Naza, you're too fierce!" Bai Lu was the first to react, exclaiming exaggeratedly, breaking the dorm's quiet.
"We're still looking up from the underground, and you've already rocketed into the atmosphere!" Yang Zi also came back to her senses, unable to resist teasing.
"Exactly, Naza, this is too sudden. I thought you just admired him."
Gu Lina Zha looked at them, her face showing an unprecedentedly serious expression.
"I like him, I like him very, very much."
"So, I want to have a home with him."
Her tone was very solemn, so solemn that it made the other girls put away their teasing.
They could feel that Gu Lina Zha wasn't joking, nor was it a whim.
It was a declaration from the heart, after much careful thought.
Looking at their complex gazes, Gu Lina Zha suddenly smiled.
She sat up straight, as if announcing some important decision, her gaze sweeping over everyone present.
"I know you also think he's excellent."
"I've also seen that many people like him."
"So, I'm putting my words here today, and I ask you to be my witnesses."
She took a deep breath, saying word by word,
"When this show ends, I will propose to him, and we will get our marriage certificate."
"If..." She paused and continued, "If we can't get the certificate by then, then I will completely withdraw."
"At that time, Instructor Lu will be yours, and you can compete with your own abilities."
These words were both a declaration of sovereignty and a promise.
A promise full of confidence, even a bit overbearing.
Yang Zi and Yu Shuxin exchanged glances, both seeing shock in each other's eyes.
Their budding little thoughts seemed so insignificant in front of Gu Lina Zha's solemn declaration.
Bai Lu, on the other hand, looked at her with great interest, her eyes full of admiration.
"Good! What courage!"
"Naza, I salute you as a true hero!"
"Alright, we've made a promise with you. Before you fail, we will restrain our thoughts and absolutely not cause you trouble."
Bai Lu patted her chest and promised.
Yang Zi and Yu Shuxin could only nod with a bitter smile.
"Okay, we promise you."
Though they said this, everyone knew in their hearts that this competition, which hadn't even started, seemed to have already ended prematurely.
The conversation in the dorm ended, but Gu Lina Zha's heart did not calm down.
She lay on her bed, covering her head with the blanket.
In the darkness, she took out the phone issued by the army, and the light from the screen illuminated her small space.
The thought of Lu Mingyu made Gu Lina Zha's heart feel like it was filled with honey.
Her boyfriend was truly too outstanding, so outstanding that so many girls were thinking about him.
She was glad she acted early and had already confirmed their relationship.
Otherwise, in front of so many excellent rivals, she really wouldn't be completely confident.
Her fingers danced quickly on the screen as she composed a text message, with a hint of coquetry and a touch of complaint.
【Instructor Lu, you're truly charming. The girls in our dorm are almost completely smitten by you.】
【I've declared my sovereignty, and they've all promised not to compete with me for now.】
【You better try hard! If you don't go get the marriage certificate with me after the show ends, I'll really give you up!】
After clicking send, Gu Lina Zha hugged her phone to her chest, the corners of her mouth curving slightly upwards.
At the same time, in the special forces dormitory.
Lu Mingyu and a few team members had just finished their day's debriefing meeting.
This group of tough men finally had a moment of relaxation.
Lu Mingyu's phone was on the table, and the screen suddenly lit up.
Li Xiaoniu, sitting across from him, had the best eyesight and immediately caught a glimpse of the message preview on the screen.
The sender was 【Naza】, followed by a short string of text.
Although he couldn't see the whole thing, words like "girls in the dorm" and "smitten" were still caught by him.
Li Xiaoniu's mouth twitched uncontrollably.
He suppressed his laughter, pretending he hadn't seen anything.
But his eyes still betrayed him.
Lu Mingyu noticed Li Xiaoniu's abnormality and followed his gaze to his own phone.
When he saw that familiar name, his usually cold and hard gaze instantly softened.
He didn't immediately pick up the phone, just subtly glanced at Li Xiaoniu.
Li Xiaoniu immediately looked straight ahead, sitting upright as if he were a statue.
Lu Mingyu picked up his phone and stood up.
"I'm going out for a bit."
He threw out these words, then walked out of the dorm with his phone.
As soon as he left, the atmosphere in the dorm instantly changed.
Li Xiaoniu, who had just been like a statue, was immediately surrounded by the others.
"Brother Niu, Brother Niu! Quick, tell us, was it a message from sister-in-law?" Zhou Chenguang leaned in, full of gossip.
Wang Yanbing also squeezed over, lowering his voice to ask:
"What did sister-in-law say? Was she praising our captain's mighty and majestic presence?"
"I think I saw something about 'smitten'. Did the captain smite the female guests?" Wu Tianlong even used his imagination.
The three of them chattered away, surrounding Li Xiaoniu tightly.
Li Xiaoniu was annoyed by their noise, shaking his hands repeatedly.
"Go away, go away, I didn't see anything."
"That's the captain's privacy, why are you asking so much?"
"Hurry up and sleep, do you still want to wake up tomorrow?"
He righteously rejected his overly curious teammates.
"Hmph, stingy." Zhou Chenguang pouted.
"Exactly, what's wrong with taking a look?" Wang Yanbing echoed.
"When the captain comes back, we'll ask him directly!" Wu Tianlong said, not giving up.
"If you dare..." Li Xiaoniu's words were cut short.
A cold voice suddenly came from the doorway.
"What do you want to ask me?"
Lu Mingyu had returned at some unknown time.
He stood quietly at the doorway, his gaze as cold as ice.
The dorm instantly became silent.
The expressions on the faces of Zhou Chenguang, Wang Yanbing, and Wu Tianlong.
Switched from gossip to terror in just one second.
Their bodies instantly stiffened, and cold sweat immediately poured down.
It's over.
This was the only thought in the three men's minds.
Lu Mingyu slowly walked into the dorm, his gaze sweeping over their three stiff faces.
"It seems your training volume today is still too little; you have a lot of energy, don't you?"
His tone was flat, but to the three of them, it was no different from a devil's whisper.
"Since you are so interested in the female guests' training..."
Lu Mingyu's lips curved into a cruel arc.
"Then tomorrow, the three of you will go train with them."
"And your training volume will be five times theirs."
