Chapter 248 She has a mole at the corner of her left eye.

"Lu Heng!"

Han Cheng's voice came from the front: "I've been rowing for a while and I'm a bit tired. Come and take over for me."

It was perfectly reasonable for a captain to get tired and have a team member take over.

But since he chose this moment to speak, everyone on the boat understood that he just didn't want the two in the back to continue their lively conversation.

Ding Shouchang and the others stole glances without a word.

Everyone felt that this Lu Heng was truly lacking in common sense.

Chen Yu was happy to oblige and quickly stood up: "No problem, Captain Han! I'll go row right now!"

"No!"

Song Xingmian stayed in her seat: "Captain Han! We're already a step behind! If we let Lu Heng row, aren't we destined to lose at the starting line of the second stage?!"

Han Cheng: "But..."

Song Xingmian dropped her serious expression and spoke calmly: "Captain Han, by letting a team member who isn't very strong take over the oars, are you trying to make us fall completely behind the others in the second stage?"

Han Cheng narrowed his eyes. "I'm just a bit tired and letting him take over temporarily. It's not like he's rowing to the end. Mianmian, there's no need to be so tense."

Song Xingmian didn't take the bait. "Captain Han, I will record your contribution and import it into the Military District's records. This will directly help with your future accumulation of merits."

"Voluntarily taking on high-intensity labor and prioritizing the team's efficiency under limited resources—these are all positive record entries."

Han Cheng fell into a brief silence.

He indeed needed a good record to prove himself to his father.

This was also why he shamelessly pursued Song Xingmian.

It wasn't just because she was beautiful or because of the Resonance Radio, but also because of her biological father.

As long as he won her over, his support within the Huaxia Military Region would see a qualitative leap.

"Alright, sit down."

Song Xingmian said this to Chen Yu.

Chen Yu was a bit unwilling: "Captain Han, I can row! I'm actually quite strong!"

Han Cheng glanced at him: "No need. As the captain, I should prioritize the team's operational efficiency."

With that, he sat back down and began to row.

Chen Yu: "..."

"Sit down?"

Hearing Song Xingmian's urge.

Chen Yu slowly took his seat.

Song Xingmian smiled slightly and whispered, "So, who exactly are you?"

Chen Yu was silent for a moment before letting out a barely audible sigh: "I have a disease."

"A disease?"

"Yes."

"What kind of disease?"

Chen Yu's expression was complicated: "Spiritual Dissociation. Patients with this disease spontaneously create alternate personalities to overwrite memories they cannot bear."

"Uh."

Song Xingmian was clearly stunned.

Chen Yu continued with a bitter smile: "In this disease, the original personality chooses to hide, and the alternate personality takes over all external interactions."

Chen Yu spoke calmly, but Song Xingmian's brows were furrowed.

She was a bit speechless: "So what you're saying is, you don't remember things about Lu Heng because the personality carrying those memories is hiding?!"

Chen Yu nodded: "Exactly."

"Bullshit!"

Song Xingmian had never seen such an outrageous lie!

She asked seriously: "I won't press you on who you are, but you must tell me, what was Officer Zhou's true purpose for planting you here?"

Chen Yu shrugged. "Are you planning to live-stream my testimony? If so, I suggest you use a beauty filter first; I'm afraid I don't look good on camera in this state."

Song Xingmian shook her head, her tone flat: "I'm not making any recording."

She didn't avoid his gaze; it didn't seem like she was lying.

The boat swayed gently with the swells.

The sea breeze passed between them, carrying a slate-gray dampness.

It created a natural soundproof layer.

Chen Yu leaned against the gunwale, looking out at the distant horizon. His voice suddenly softened.

"I recently met a girl."

"Hmm?"

Chen Yu seemed to be recalling something beautiful: "I don't know how to describe her, but every time she speaks, my attention automatically filters out the noise, leaving only her voice."

Song Xingmian didn't understand and frowned.

Chen Yu continued, turning his head: "She's really beautiful. The more I look at her, the harder it is to look away. She has very quiet eyes and an indescribable sense of determination about her."

"Her hair is very long, and she looks even more youthful and vibrant when it's tied in a ponytail."

Song Xingmian narrowed her eyes: "What are you trying to say?"

She even had a slight sense of foreboding.

Chen Yu shook his head and spoke gently: "There's a tiny mole at the corner of her left eye. You can't see it unless you're close, but once I saw it, I couldn't forget it. Even now, if I close my eyes, I can clearly trace the position of that mole in my mind. I think I might be going crazy."

"?"

Song Xingmian suddenly turned to look at him, her face full of shock and embarrassment!

"Have you... said enough?"

Chen Yu shrugged: "Not yet. I can also describe how she acts when she's angry..."

"Enough!"

Song Xingmian interrupted him, but the tips of her ears were already crimson, the flush spreading down to her neck.

Her fingers twitched slightly on her knee...

Chen Yu naturally noticed the movement, and the corners of his mouth curled up slightly.

Didn't she just say she wasn't making any recording?

Then what was that hurried closing of the interface just now?

The others also turned around at the sound.

While rowing, Han Cheng said irritably: "What's wrong, Mianmian?"

Song Xingmian took a deep breath: "None of your business!"

Ding Shouchang also shouted: "Lu Heng! Did you upset Miss Song? You really are..."

"I said, it's none of your business!!!"

Song Xingmian replied sternly!

Then she turned her head and spoke seriously: "What kind of nonsense are you talking about?!"

Her voice was relatively steady, but a trace of imperceptible panic could still be heard.

Chen Yu shrugged: "You're the one who insisted on asking. I told you, and now you blame me for talking nonsense."

Song Xingmian pursed her lips: "I asked what your purpose was! But what was your answer?"

Chen Yu was very serious: "I joined the team voluntarily for her. For the girl I met once. Even if she has forgotten me, it doesn't matter."

Song Xingmian took a deep breath and didn't respond to him.

She turned her face back toward the sea: "Whatever your purpose is, as long as your actions pose any threat to the team, I won't let you off."

Chen Yu nodded: "Understood."

Song Xingmian paused, her voice softening slightly: "However, with your ability and that pet of yours, you'd better focus on protecting yourselves first."

Chen Yu was suddenly curious: "Since you found out long ago, why did you help me out of that situation?"

Song Xingmian shook her head: "Lu Heng was a good friend of mine. But since you've become him, he must be dead. I just don't want to see this face being toyed with by someone like Han Cheng."

Chen Yu nodded: "Is that all?"

Song Xingmian was silent for a long while before she continued: "Also, there's a strange sense of familiarity about you. I can't quite put my finger on why..."

"But it's not because of your face, nor any other reason. I..."

She suddenly shook her head, "Forget it, pretend I didn't say anything."
