My father's inheritance is my mortal enemy.

Crane didn't apologize to Li Bo because he was threatened. It was only after he moved out of the dormitory and recalled Zhou Yanshao's words, "I raised Li Bo," that he belatedly realized what was going on.

Li Bo has no family.

The words "ill-mannered" are just too harsh...

Although Crane didn't speak, Li Bo already knew the answer.

He looked at Crane, whose face was bruised and swollen, and sighed slightly: "He was a bit too rough... I'll have my secretary buy you some medicine tomorrow."

"It's okay, no need, I've already bought it."

The meal ended quickly.

On his way back after dinner, Li Bo felt terrible. In his memory, Zhou Yanshao didn't come out all night.

After finally getting back to the dorm, Li Bo took off his coat and went to sleep. He slept from the afternoon until evening. When he woke up, it was already six o'clock in the evening. Li Bo put on a sweater and a down jacket and went to the cafeteria for dinner.

When I got downstairs, I realized that the sweater was chafing my skin and was a little stinging.

Last night, he was bitten and gnawed, and his sweater amplified the stinging sensation, making him feel uncomfortable even after walking just a few steps. However, going back to change his clothes was too difficult... In the end, he could only reluctantly go to the cafeteria for a meal.

Li Bo ordered his food and sat down. A plate appeared in front of him shortly afterward.

Ruan Ge is back.

Ruan Ge said with a smile, "President Bo, what brings you here!"

"I have a job in Northern Europe and have been here for several days."

"How long are you going to stay here? It's almost Chinese New Year back home, isn't it?"

"Well, I probably won't go back," Li Bo said with a smile, touching his neck.

Ruan Ge's gaze followed Li Bo's movements, and he saw a purplish bite mark and a faint hickey on Li Bo's neck. Is CEO Bo... in a relationship?

Also in Northern Europe?

Is that why you're not going home for the Lunar New Year?

Ruan Ge wasn't shocked that the refined gentleman and exceptionally handsome Li Bo had a lover; what shocked her was that President Bo would allow his lover to leave such obvious marks on him.

The aloof and elite-like CEO would actually allow his lover to do something so childish, a way of asserting his dominance.

"Oh..." Ruan Ge was a little dazed.

Li Bo smiled as she ate: "Where's your fiancé?"

Ruan Ge snapped out of her daze. "The coach needs to talk to him. Never mind him, I'm hungry, so I'll eat first."

As soon as Ruan Ge finished speaking, she saw Zhou Yanshao in the distance and raised her hand to greet him, "Senior Brother! Senior Brother, sit here!"

Zhou Yanshao turned around and frowned.

Li Bo and Ruan Ge chatted and laughed.

Li Bo is a very tactful, gentlemanly, and talkative person who can chat with anyone.

Under Ruan Ge's expectant gaze, Zhou Yanshao sat down next to Li Bo.

Ruan Ge asked cautiously, "Senior brother...did you and Kelan have a fight?"

Zhou Yanshao didn't lift his eyelids. "It's nothing."

Ruan Ge didn't press the matter; everyone at the base knew about it. Crane's face was bruised, quite noticeably. Zhou Yanshao, Coach Andrew's most valued athlete, hadn't been to training for several days and was demoted to shoveling snow for nearby residents.

All anyone knew was that they had taken action and violated the rules of the Nordic base, but no one knew the reason behind it.

Zhou Yanshao had a bad temper, so no one dared to ask him anything.

Crane is someone who cares a lot about his reputation; it's really going too far to rub salt into someone's wounds.

The training base in Scandinavia is very intense, and many people train as usual even on weekends. Two days have passed since Zhou Yanshao violated discipline, and he has been forgotten about it.

Li Bo glanced sideways at the bruise on Zhou Yanshao's forehead: "Has it been treated with medicine?"

Zhou Yanshao, sparing with words, replied: "No."

"I'll buy you some medicine later."

"Need not."

"You..." Li Bo was about to speak when he was interrupted by Ruan Ge's cough. Li Bo looked at Ruan Ge, who gave him a look that meant he shouldn't ask anymore.

Zhou Yanshao is generally a man of few words, and if pressed for answers, he'll find it annoying and get angry. That's how bipolar disorder works—his mood is easily elevated and he's prone to irritability. If you anger Zhou Yanshao, Li Bo, unlike Ke Lan, won't be able to handle it.

Li Bo didn't ask any more questions.

Li Bo and Ruan Ge waited for Zhou Yanshao to finish his meal before leaving the cafeteria. Zhou Yanshao put his hands in his pockets and walked away on his own.

Ruan Ge then reminded Li Bo, "My senior brother has an unstable temper and gets angry easily. He's been sick for the past two years. I've heard that bipolar disorder patients have suicidal tendencies. Dr. Deman asked me to talk to him more and be more positive."

"So over the years, I often had meals with my senior, but he didn't really talk to me much... Later, I heard from Dr. Deman that my senior's suicidal tendencies might be... related to skiing."

"Nordic combined is very dangerous. When my senior brother trains, he works really hard, as if he wants to..." Ruan Ge left the rest of her sentence with her eyes.

"My senior used to suffer from insomnia and couldn't sleep well. Bipolar disorder is very complicated. Every time we had psychological counseling, my senior was unwilling to talk much with the psychologist, so the effect over the years was minimal."

Ruan Ge sighed, "Although my senior brother is always cold to me, he's a really good person! He's just sick."

Li Bo was somewhat lost in thought.

Ruan Ge reminded him, "President Bo, you should be more careful in the future and try to avoid conflicts with your senior brother. He might lose control of himself when he's sick."

"Okay." Li Bo returned to his dormitory, took a shower, wore a thin, loose shirt underneath and a trench coat over it, took the medicine, and went to Zhou Yanshao's dormitory.

He knocked on the door.

A moment later, the door opened. Zhou Yanshao, who had just finished showering and whose hair was still wet, looked at Li Bo with a detached expression and asked, "What is it?"

"Apply the medicine."

Zhou Yanshao's tone was fierce: "I said I don't need it."

Li Bo questioned, "Why are you being so aggressive?"

Zhou Yanshao: "..."

Li Bo's words sounded inexplicably aggrieved and sad.

Zhou Yanshao didn't want to get involved and wanted to close the door. But when he looked down, he saw that Li Bo's slightly open clothes were actually quite revealing. He frowned, opened the door, and let Li Bo in.

The dormitory was heated, and Li Bo's slightly trembling hands were relieved after entering the room. He placed the medicine on the coffee table in the living room, dipped a cotton swab in the medicine, and sat down close to Zhou Yanshao to apply it for him.

Zhou Yanshao grasped Li Bo's wrist, took the cotton swab, and applied the medicine himself.

After applying the medicine, Li Bo should leave.

Li Bo showed no intention of getting up, remaining seated on the sofa. He glanced sideways at Zhou Yanshao and instructed him, "Don't fight in the future. Violating discipline will be punished."

"Whatever, it's none of your business."

"Zhou Yanshao!" Li Bo's voice rose a little.

"..." Zhou Yanshao remained silent, sticking to his own opinion.

It had nothing to do with Li Bo in the first place. No matter what he does, it has nothing to do with Li Bo. It's been over since Li Bo said he wanted to break up six years ago.

Zhou Yanshao didn't know why Li Bo would return to Northern Europe. He only knew that after Li Bo returned to Haicheng, he packed his things and went to teach in a rural area with Ning Zhi. The two of them lived together, taking care of a group of children, and were very happy.

Li Bo treats Ning Zhihe differently than he treats himself.

Li Bo would never be fierce towards Ning Zhi.

Li Bo looked at the silent Zhou Yanshao, who resembled a wilted, pitiful dog with its tail drooping. Realizing his tone had been too harsh, he took a breath and softened his voice, asking:

Are you sick?
