Gu Lina Zha's mind was a mess, filled with Lu Mingyu's image.
What kind of mission was he going to perform?
Would it be very dangerous?
Would he get injured?
Countless questions swirled in her mind, making her restless.
After the meeting, Ding Hui returned to his office.
He knew that this matter had to be announced to the public as soon as possible, otherwise, various speculations and rumors would quickly spread like wildfire.
He opened his laptop and logged into the official Weibo account of “if i were a female special forces soldier.”
After much deliberation, he typed out a message.
“if i were a female special forces soldier” Program Team Urgent Notice
Dear audience friends:
We are very sorry to inform everyone.
Due to an urgent mission notification from the military, our instructor team, the Megakaryocyte Special Operations Group, needs to immediately depart for the mission front line.
After negotiation with the military, the program will be temporarily suspended starting the day after tomorrow, while content for tomorrow and the day after will be broadcast normally.
During this period, all guests and staff will rest and await orders at the Special Operations Brigade camp.
It is a soldier's duty to obey orders, and defending the country is their most sacred mission.
Let us all pay our highest respects to this group of most adorable people!
We look forward to their triumphant return, and we will see you again on screen! Cheer on our Soldier King instructors!

Within just a few minutes, the comment and repost sections of this Weibo post were completely overwhelmed.
“??? Am I seeing this correctly? Suspended again? Director, are you messing with me?”
“Selling melon seeds, peanuts, and mineral water in the front row, everyone sit tight, I feel like something big is about to happen.”
“No way, sir, I just topped up my membership, and you give me this?”
Initially, the comment section was filled with complaints and jokes from viewers who didn't know the truth.
But soon, some sharp-eyed netizens discovered the key to the problem.
“The key words are ‘Megakaryocyte Special Operations Group,’ ‘urgent mission,’ and ‘departing for the front line’!”
“Holy crap! It's not an exercise! Are they really going to perform a mission?”
“For an ace special forces unit like Macrophages to be deployed en masse, it's definitely not a small matter! Oh my god, I'm suddenly so worried!”
“Don't talk nonsense upstairs, I believe in our soldiers! They are the best!”
“The director's writing makes me feel both excited and a little like crying. What does it mean to defend the country? This is it!”
“I was a bit annoyed about the suspension, but now I just want to say, instructors, you must come back safely!”
“Lu Team! Brother Niu! Brother Long! Not one of you can be missing! We'll wait for you to come back!”
“Oh my god, I used to think they were handsome and a bit like celebrities when watching the show.”
“Now I realize they are real soldiers, ready to go to the battlefield at any time, brushing shoulders with death.”
“Suddenly, I feel that the reason we can sit here comfortably typing on our keyboards is because they are carrying the burden forward.”
“Enough said, already reposted. I ask for nothing else, only for their safe return!”
Countless “Go!” and “Safe!” flooded the comment section.
Netizens spontaneously organized prayer activities.
The hashtag #PrayForMacrophageSpecialOperationsGroup quickly soared to the top of the hot search list.
They might not know the specific content of the mission.
But they knew that these handsome and cool instructors from the show were now heading to a place full of unknown dangers.
They were the “Soldier Kings” in the eyes of their fans, and even more, the “Sharp Blades” of the nation.
And now, this sharp blade was about to be unsheathed again.
……
In the dormitory.
Gu Lina Zha sat disconsolately on the edge of the bed, clutching her phone tightly.
She had seen all the news online.
Every single worry from the netizens was like a needle, pricking her heart densely.
She knew the strength of the Megakaryocyte Special Operations Group better than anyone.
She knew that Lu Mingyu was the Soldier King among Soldier Kings, an invincible God of War.
However, reason was one thing, and emotion was another.
On the battlefield, things change in an instant, and no one can guarantee foolproof safety.
She was scared.
Scared like never before.
Scared that the cruel scenes she had only seen in movies would truly happen to the person she loved most.
She recalled Lu Mingyu's focused and steady profile when he taught her how to shoot on the show.
She remembered his clumsy yet careful tenderness when he applied medicine for her.
She remembered the undisguised love in his eyes when he looked at her during the bonfire party.
Scene after scene, frame by frame, like a movie playback, constantly flashed in her mind.
The sweeter the memories, the more heartbreaking it was now.
She knew she shouldn't disturb him.
With the mission imminent, he must have countless things to deal with and deploy.
As his girlfriend, what she should do was wait quietly, not add to his troubles.
But she couldn't control herself.
That feeling of panic and near suffocation made her almost collapse.
She just wanted to hear his voice.
Even if it was just one sentence.
She just wanted to see him one more time.
Even if it was just for one minute.
Once this thought arose, she could no longer suppress it.
After much hesitation, Gu Lina unlocked her phone.
She opened her contacts and found that name, which was more familiar than familiar.
Her fingertip hovered over the screen for a long time, finally pressing down.
“Beep… beep…”
Each sound made Gu Lina Zha's heart skip half a beat.
She had prepared for no answer.
However, after only two rings, the call was connected.
A steady and familiar voice came from the receiver.
“Naza.”
With just two words, Gu Lina Zha's tears couldn't be held back.
She bit her lip hard, not letting herself cry out loud, afraid of adding to his psychological burden.
“I…”
She only managed one word before she couldn't speak anymore, her throat felt as if something was blocked.
Lu Mingyu on the other end of the phone seemed to sense her abnormality and was silent for a few seconds.
“Wait for me in the dorm, I'll be right over.”
With that, he hung up the phone.
Gu Lina Zha held her phone, sitting blankly on the edge of the bed, until a soft knock came from the dormitory door.
She came to her senses and practically rushed to open the door.
Standing outside the door was a dusty Lu Mingyu.
He seemed to have just come out of a meeting room, still wearing a crisp training uniform.
The moment she saw him, Gu Lina Zha's emotions spiraled out of control.
She threw herself into his arms, her arms tightly wrapped around his strong waist, as if to melt herself into his body.
“Ugh…”
The cries she had suppressed for so long were finally released at this moment.
Lu Mingyu's body stiffened, then he used his large, calloused hands to gently and tenderly pat her back.
He didn't speak, just let her vent her fear and unease.
And this scene was coincidentally seen by Yang Zi, who was drinking water by the window.
“Holy crap!”
Yang Zi almost spat out a mouthful of water.
She rubbed her eyes hard, making sure she wasn't mistaken.
That Lu Team, who was always serious and had an aura of two meters eighty on the show.
He was now holding Naza, who was crying her eyes out, with an expression of tenderness and heartache she had never seen before.
Yang Zi quietly retreated to the living room and pulled the other female guests who were about to go to bed.
She lowered her voice, her face full of shock.
“Sisters! Big news! Earth-shattering news!”
“Lu Team and Naza… they… they're hugging!”
The female guests in the dorm tiptoed to the window, secretly peeking out.
