My father's inheritance is my mortal enemy.

There were quite a few people at the training base. Li Bo gently nudged Zhou Yanshao and said, "Alright, you should focus on your training. I'm going back to the company to get things done. I need to finalize the projects I have on hand as soon as possible. I'll be going to Russia with you in two weeks."

Zhou Yanshao remained unmoved: "Li Bo..."

"Um?"

"Don't wander around."

Zhou Yanshao tightened his grip on Li Bo's waist. He was terrified that Li Bo would wander off; he would become anxious whenever Li Bo left his sight. Li Bo had a terrible temper; a few words could upset him, and he would leave. He wasn't fierce, but once he achieved his goal, he would leave without a word or warning.

"I didn't wander off." Li Bo nudged him with his elbow. "Give me a spare key to your dorm. I'll stay at your place for the next couple of days. The Nordic base doesn't allow people to come and go as they please. I'll clean the dorm and move back when I have time."

"Oh." Zhou Yanshao handed his key directly to Li Bo.

"You're not going back to your room after training?"

"Um."

"Okay, I'll be back early tonight." Li Bo smiled, raised his hand and patted Zhou Yanshao's head. "Train hard and be careful."

"Um."

"I'm leaving."

"Oh." Zhou Yanshao withdrew his hand and saw Li Bo off at the training ground. Li Bo told Zhou Yanshao not to see him off any further, so Zhou Yanshao stopped and walked until he could no longer see Li Bo's figure before returning to the training ground.

Li Bo got into his car with the keys, in a great mood. He returned home a little earlier that evening, bringing his computer with him for work. After putting the computer away in Zhou Yanshao's dorm, Li Bo checked the time and figured training should be over. He called Zhou Yanshao, but no one answered, and he didn't reply to his messages either.

Li Bo made several phone calls in a row.

No one answered.

Li Bo's eyelids twitched violently, so he made a phone call to Ruan Ge.

Ruan Ge stammered for a while before finally saying, "President Bo, my senior brother fell and is in the hospital now... He told me not to tell you..."

Which hospital?

"..." Ruan Ge hesitated to speak, "President Bo, you'd better not come... If my senior brother finds out, I'm doomed."

Li Bo frowned: "Is it serious?"

"Uh...it's quite serious. He just came out of the operating room. Coach Andrew is talking to him now; I don't know how long it will take..."

"I'll come over here. Send me the address," Li Bo said. "If he takes his anger out on you, come find me."

"……good."

Ruan Ge gave Li Bo her address, not because of Li Bo's promise, but because of the help he had given her. As long as it wasn't something that violated morality or principles, Ruan Ge would help Li Bo. Ruan Ge knew Zhou Yanshao's temper, and everyone at the base knew it too. No one dared to disobey or offend him; only the coach could barely manage to discipline him with a "suspension."

An hour later, Li Bo arrived at the hospital, carrying chicken soup and dinner that he had packed from the cafeteria.

When they arrived at the ward door, Ruan Ge ran over and grabbed Li Bo's arm: "President Bo, let's go in later. The coach just had a big argument with my senior, and he's probably still angry... He'll definitely yell at you if you go in."

"It's nothing." Li Bo glanced at his watch. "Have you eaten?"

"Not...not yet."

"I'll be fine here, you go and eat first."

Ruan Ge glanced at the ward with some unease, but her stomach growled uncooperatively: "I'll only be gone for half an hour, Mr. Bo. If my senior brother gets angry, you shouldn't stay in the ward..."

"Okay, you go eat first. After you finish eating, I'll have the driver take you home. It's not safe for a girl like you to be out alone so late at night. I think it's going to rain in a while, so I'll keep an eye on things here."

Li Bo is a gentleman, polite, and knows how to assess situations and when to advance or retreat. He's also a man, so he shouldn't cause any major trouble.

Ruan Ge added, "The coach will be here later. If Boss Bo can't handle it, call me."

Li Bo smiled and said, "Okay, don't worry."

Ruan Ge nodded and went to eat with trepidation.

Li Bo brought dinner into the ward. Zhou Yanshao sat on the hospital bed with a frown on his face. He looked very angry, clearly having had a big argument with the coach earlier.

Li Bo asked, "Why aren't you answering the phone?"

Zhou Yanshao looked up immediately upon hearing the voice, "What brings you here?"

"I couldn't get through to you on the phone, so I found out something happened at the training ground." Li Bo put down the lunchbox and insulated container, looking at Zhou Yanshao's arm in a cast: "You hurt your hand?"

"Nothing serious."

Li Bo didn't ask any more questions. He fed Zhou Yanshao dinner, tidied up his things, stood up and looked out the window for a while. The night outside was dark, and the rain was pouring down, pounding against the windowpane.

Zhou Yanshao warned, "Don't stand in the wind."

"Hmm." Li Bo walked to the bedside and sat down, looking at Zhou Yanshao's arm. "Does it hurt?"

"..."

"I'm asking you."

"It doesn't hurt."

"The competition is next month, so you need to take good care of your hand." Li Bo's words also had another meaning—he hoped that Zhou Yanshao would withdraw from the competition.

The only reason Zhou Yanshao could argue with the coach was because of the competition.

"It's not that serious."

"Did you used to fall a lot?"

Zhou Yanshao replied casually, "It's alright."

Li Bo raised his hand and ruffled Zhou Yanshao's hair: "No need to push yourself so hard, you can participate again next year..."

Zhou Yanshao dodged, "No."

Li Bo's hand froze in mid-air for a few seconds before he reached out again. "Why are you dodging? Can't I even touch you?"

Li Bo didn't try to persuade him anymore, and Zhou Yanshao let him touch her.

Coach Andrew stormed in, reeking of cigarette smoke. He had smoked countless cigarettes before finally calming down, but as soon as he reached the door, he flared up again: "I'm telling you, you're withdrawing from the competition this time! I couldn't dissuade you six years ago, but I will this time!"

Before he could finish speaking, Coach Andrew saw Li Bo, paused for two seconds, and then looked at Li Bo's hand as he touched Zhou Yanshao's head.

Li Bo introduced himself gently: "Li Bo."

Coach Andrew snapped out of his daze: "Oh, Mr. Po."

Coach Andrew and Li Bo have spoken on the phone.

Li Bo withdrew his hand. "Coach, do you have any more cigarettes?"

Andrew nodded and went out the door.

Li Bo turned to Zhou Yanshao and said, "I'm going to have a smoke."

"no."

"Just one, I'll be back in two minutes."

After leaving the ward, Li Bo and Coach Andrew found a quiet place, got a cigarette, and started smoking. While smoking, Li Bo asked about the competition six years ago.

Andrew said that Zhou Yanshao also suffered a ligament strain back then, and it was very painful. This time was the same; ligament strains require proper care. Six years ago, Zhou Yanshao fell, but said he was fine and could walk steadily. Andrew originally didn't want Zhou Yanshao to continue competing, but Zhou Yanshao said that this might be his last competition.

Coach Andrew sighed and gave his permission.

As a result, after the competition, he suffered a severe ligament strain and fainted from the pain on the way back to the base!

This time, it was another ligament strain, and Coach Andrew absolutely refused to let Zhou Yanshao participate.

Athlete injuries are often irreversible, and many athletes have their professional careers ended because of them. Zhou Yanshao was a rare talent he encountered; how regrettable it is for such a talent to wither away!

Six years ago, when he watched the game from the sidelines, his heart was already in his throat. This time, he absolutely could not let Zhou Yanshao disregard his health and continue to act recklessly.
