My father's inheritance is my mortal enemy.

Zhou Yanshao turned around, his back to Li Bo.

Li Bo chuckled: "What's got you so angry about?"

Zhou Yanshao denied it: "I'm not angry."

"Sleeping on your side makes it easy for drafts to get in, and it gets cold."

"Oh." You're freezing.

Zhou Yanshao remained unmoved. Li Bo moved closer to Zhou Yanshao and slept close to him. Zhou Yanshao stiffened at Li Bo's attempt to seek warmth.

"Nordic countries are really cold," Li Bo remarked.

"It's always cold." Zhou Yanshao has been here for eight years, and Li Bo only just realized that Scandinavia has always been cold.

"Did you get used to it when you first arrived?"

"I'm not used to it."

Li Bo raised his hand and patted Zhou Yanshao's head. "Thank you for your hard work."

Zhou Yanshao grasped the hand that was rubbing his head and removed it: "Don't touch me like that."

Li Bo pulled his hand away slightly: "You're hurting my grip."

Zhou Yanshao relaxed, remained silent for a moment, and then suddenly asked, "Was it your maternal grandfather who invited you back to Zhihuai?"

"I wanted to come back myself."

"Because of Ning Zhi?" Zhou Yanshao frowned. Zhihuai had recently partnered with the law firm where Ning Zhi had previously worked. With Li Bo back in Zhihuai, he had a voice and could bring Ning Zhi back. He could also exert influence within the law firm, so the matter between Ning Zhi and the partner's daughter would no longer be brought up.

"It has nothing to do with him," Li Bo said. "Didn't you always say that Scandinavia was very cold? I'll come and experience it for you."

Zhou Yanshao didn't want to hear such words. "No need, you should go back to the capital."

"Don't you want to see me?"

"..." Zhou Yanshao said, "I don't want to."

Li Bo paused for a few seconds, then changed the subject: "The World Ski Championships are being held in Russia this year. I've bought plane tickets, and I'll go with you."

"Need not."

Li Bo hasn't been to Russia even once in the past six years. Now that you're saying you'll go with him, it's probably just to coax him.

"I couldn't come last time because of something, so I'm making it up to you this year."

The last time Li Bo mentioned was six years ago.

Zhou Yanshao's veins throbbed with anger: "Li Bo, your affairs are always the most important."

Six years ago, Zhou Yanshao had an accident during a pre-competition practice jump, falling and hurting quite a bit. Later, in order to win the trophy for Li Bo, Zhou Yanshao endured the pain and participated without saying a word. Athletes are not encouraged to compete with injuries, as it can easily lead to long-term health problems and they may never have the opportunity to compete again.

Zhou Yanshao still tried his best and won the award, but Li Bo didn't come.

Li Bo had made a promise before, but now he dismissed him with a casual "I have something to do."

Li Bo's affairs are always more important than Zhou Yanshao's.

"You were important before, and you will be important from now on."

Li Bo reached out and hugged Zhou Yanshao from behind, resting his head on Zhou Yanshao's shoulder. "It's really cold sleeping like this."

Zhou Yanshao ignored him. When Li Bo was about to fall asleep, Zhou Yanshao's anger subsided a lot. He turned around, hugged him, and held him tightly in his arms.

Li Bo grunted, raised his hand and patted Zhou Yanshao's head, "Not angry anymore?"

"angry."

"I'm really coming this time," Li Bo assured him.

"Oh." Zhou Yanshao hugged Li Bo very tightly. Li Bo had said a lot of nice things to him tonight and coaxed him. He didn't want to be so close to Li Bo. Li Bo was the kind of person who would take advantage of people he knew well and then make demands after coaxing them.

Zhou Yanshao didn't want to agree or get close to Li Bo, so that Li Bo would stay in Northern Europe longer.

But he seemed unable to refuse Li Bo's advances.

Even when she was with Li Bo before, Li Bo rarely said such things.

During the fourteen days of dating Li Bo, Zhou Yanshao never uttered a single word of "like" or "love," only occasionally mentioning that he missed him. Zhou Yanshao never sensed Li Bo's "missing" of him; Li Bo rarely called him first, and when busy, he often didn't answer the phone.

That's why this relationship only lasted fourteen days before ending.

It wasn't a face-to-face confession; the breakup was mentioned over the phone.

Those fourteen days were too rushed and too casual. Zhou Yanshao often thought that if he had confessed earlier and forced Li Bo to be with him when they were on the Australian island, would the breakup have been less hasty?

But Zhou Yanshao always felt that Li Bo only stayed with him for fourteen days out of guilt because he was injured. Because he didn't like him from the beginning, Zhou Yanshao never received any kindness from Li Bo.

Zhou Yanshao bit Li Bo twice, angrily, yet gently, wanting to leave a mark but also afraid of hurting him.

Li Bo didn't resist, and even when he bit the red mole on his thigh, he didn't say anything.

She simply propped herself up on her knees, rubbed Zhou Yanshao's hair, and whispered a plea for him to be gentle with his words.

Zhou Yanshao not only refused, but also grabbed Li Bo's fidgeting hand. He had already wanted to bite him a couple of times, but Li Bo's reaction was so irresistible that he couldn't help but want to tease him, so he intensified his actions. There was no drinking tonight, no excuse, but the night was dark, and no excuse or reason was needed.

Zhou Yanshao could go wherever he wanted and stay wherever he wanted. Li Bo couldn't resist him, nor did he resist him.

Zhou Yanshao made sweeping changes and just like that, he left.

He used to think Li Bo's lips were a disappointment, but these two times they truly satisfied him.

Li Bo suffered quite a bit.

The next morning, when Li Bo woke up, he felt very heavy. He groaned softly. When Zhou Yanshao saw that he was awake, he stopped his cautious probing.

Li Bo reached under the pillow and stammered, "Zhou...Zhou Yanshao."

That's too much.

Zhou Yanshao held his chin, letting him lie in his palm, coaxing Li Bo to sleep a little longer.

"I can't sleep." Li Bo's tone was full of resentment. He looked at the curtains. The hotel curtains were surprisingly good at blocking out light. If it weren't for the fact that they weren't slightly ajar and letting in some light from outside, he would have really thought it was night.

Li Bo had finally reached his limit: "Aren't you going to train anymore?"

"It's snowing, the roads are blocked, and I can't go back."

Concise and concise.

Li Bo rubbed his temples, his head throbbing badly.

Fearing he might lose interest and refuse, Zhou Yanshao even helped him. Now Li Bo was in a real dilemma. His body was more honest than his mouth, and he couldn't lie, so he could only let Zhou Yanshao have his way.

Li Bo's physical strength was no match for that of a seasoned athlete, and he was also several years older. After a whole night of this, he had really risked half his life to coax the "dog," and finally managed to get it to behave and stop biting him.

Li Bo's phone rang.

It was Ning Zhi calling.

Li Bo's phone vibrated several times on the bedside table. Zhou Yanshao didn't want to pay attention to it, and Li Bo didn't have the strength to pick it up, but it kept ringing. Zhou Yanshao was sitting on the bed, and being tall, he easily caught a glimpse of the caller ID.

Zhou Yanshao's eyes darkened, and he took the phone.
