My father's inheritance is my mortal enemy.

Zhou Yanshao hugged the person tightly and began to admit his mistakes, "I... I never... prevented you from staying at the base before."

Zhou Yanshao just felt that Li Bo was not eating enough and wanted him to eat more. He didn't expect Li Bo to leave the base directly and get into a car accident. He didn't even contact him after the accident.

They argued so fiercely during that time that it seemed like they had completely severed ties. Li Bo was the kind of person who wouldn't tell anyone if he was sick, and since he had no family, no one told him either.

They had such a big argument back then. Li Bo was too proud and wouldn't back down. He was also in a competition at the time. Li Bo had a car accident, so he wouldn't tell him at all.

Li Bo lowered his head, tears rolling down his cheeks: "I know."

"Why didn't you call me when you got into a car accident? You were all alone in the hospital..." Zhou Yanshao couldn't even continue speaking.

"It wasn't serious at the time, I..."

"Li Bo," Zhou Yanshao interrupted him in a hoarse voice, "Are you worried about affecting my match?"

"No, really not." Li Bo wiped away his tears where Zhou Yanshao couldn't see. This was a rare truth; he hadn't stopped contacting Zhou Yanshao because he was afraid of affecting his competition.

Li Bo was still unconscious at the time, with broken ribs, a sprained ankle, unable to walk, a cut on his face, and bruises all over his body. He held on to his last breath, waiting for Master Fei to arrive.

When Li Bo woke up, Zhou Yanshao was already in the competition.

"Li Bo." Zhou Yanshao called out to him, taking a deep breath, each word trailing off unsteadily: "I won't abandon you, I never will. Even if you don't want me, make me angry, or argue with me, I still won't abandon you."

Zhou Yanshao is making a guarantee.

If Zhou Yanshao doesn't care about Li Bo, then no one else will.

Li Bo smiled and said, "Didn't we say before that some things, once done, are unforgivable?"

"..." Zhou Yanshao said "Oh," and added, "They'll still take care of you."

"Sometimes I just get angry. I'm angry that you always put your own interests first, angry that you never choose me, and even when you know you're wrong, you never apologize to me. Li Bo, you're just taking advantage of the fact that I'll forgive you, so you always push your luck like this."

Li Bo ruffled Zhou Yanshao's hair. "So, will you let me push my luck?"

"Hmm." Zhou Yanshao rested his chin on Li Bo's neck and asked softly, "Didn't you say a couple of days ago that I'd be more important to you from now on... that you wouldn't do that anymore?"

Li Bo laughed heartily, "Your memory is still pretty good."

Li Bo knew that Zhou Yanshao could always appease him, forgive him time and time again, know that he prioritized interests, know that he didn't really like him, know that he was full of calculations, yet he would still like him.

Li Bo didn't want Zhou Yanshao to compromise. He understood better than anyone that Zhou Yanshao's current compromise stemmed from his fear of losing him, and that he was fundamentally unable to get over that hurdle.

She stole her father's inheritance and swindled her mother out of her dowry. In relationships, she was indifferent to her partner's needs and feelings, never keeping her promises, and only offering empty words of comfort when she needed something in return... No one could easily forgive her for these acts.

Zhou Yanshao didn't mention it because he was afraid of losing it again, so he kept all his sadness to himself.

That's why people get sick, and the illness gets worse.

Li Bo turned his head and kissed Zhou Yanshao's cheek. "Don't you feel it's unfair to keep giving in and compromising like this?"

From Zhou Yanshao's perspective, their relationship and feelings were probably never equal.

Zhou Yanshao replied without hesitation: "There's no such thing as fairness or unfairness."

"Um?"

"If there's too much calculation in a relationship, it won't last very long."

Li Bo's love is like a drop of water in the desert—rare, but precious. Li Bo had a very difficult past; no one had taught him how to love. He only knew how to survive. His love was cautious and stingy, afraid to give it, afraid of getting hurt.

But Zhou Yanshao is different. He grew up in love, and he knows how to be good to people. So he can be nicer to Li Bo, take care of Li Bo more, and teach Li Bo more. He doesn't mind that Li Bo doesn't love him much; he's just afraid that Li Bo won't give him any affection at all.

Zhou Yanshao has a lot of love, so it's okay to give a little more to Li Bo.

Li Bo hummed in agreement, his nose tingling, and gently patted Zhou Yanshao's hand that was holding him. "Alright, I'll make the bed."

"Oh..." Zhou Yanshao released him.

Li Bo helped the person lie down, made the bed, turned off the light, and put him to sleep.

In the darkness, Zhou Yanshao asked, "Where were you injured in the car accident?"

"rib cage."

"You still say it's not serious..."

"It's all in the past."

"..." Zhou Yanshao remained silent for a while, then suddenly called out to Li Bo.

Li Bo was already dozing off. "Hmm?"

"Do you think I'm better now?"

"Hmm..." Li Bo's voice was very soft, and he fell asleep the next second.

Zhou Yanshao was very happy.

He is much better than Ning Zhi.

The next morning, Li Bo woke up. Coach Andrew brought in breakfast, the doctor came to check on him, applied ice to Zhou Yanshao's knee, and fifteen minutes later, Li Bo helped him to the toilet, washed up, and had breakfast with Zhou Yanshao.

Coach Andrew called Li Bo out and brought up the matter of withdrawing from the competition again.

Li Bo frowned. "I'll try to persuade him later."

Coach Andrew sighed: "Okay."

At noon, Li Bo mentioned it briefly.

Zhou Yanshao's eyes darkened. He remained silent, only frowning as he glanced at his knees. "I know what I'm doing."

Li Bo stayed with Zhou Yanshao in the hospital for half a month, accompanying him during his rehabilitation training. Li Bo could see that Zhou Yanshao was determined to compete, and no one could persuade him otherwise, including Li Bo himself. Once Zhou Yanshao made up his mind, it was very difficult to change it.

He's incredibly stubborn.

Li Bo always emphasized that his health was more important and that he would have a chance to win medals in the future. He would always say this, but Zhou Yanshao would just look down at him and not scold him. He would just say that Li Bo knew his limits.

With the competition approaching, everyone at the training base is busy preparing, so Coach Andrew hasn't had much time to come. Every time he does come, he inevitably gets into an argument with Zhou Yanshao. In the end, after the argument, Coach Andrew storms out in anger.

This time too.

After Coach Andrew left, Li Bo frowned, and Zhou Yanshao began preliminary rehabilitation training, getting out of bed and walking around on his own.

Li Bo knew that the competition was approaching, and Zhou Yanshao's injury had not fully recovered. He was doing rehabilitation training very carefully, afraid of further injury and being unable to participate in training.

Li Bo noticed Zhou Yanshao's seriousness.

About a month later, Zhou Yanshao was discharged from the hospital.

When Li Bo returned to Zhou Yanshao's dormitory, he smoked a cigarette on the balcony. Zhou Yanshao pushed the door open and came in, staring at the cigarette in Li Bo's hand, looking rather unhappy.

Li Bo exhaled a puff of smoke: "Zhou Yanshao."

"Um."

"If you absolutely have to compete, you need to be careful."

"it is good."

Li Bo stubbed out his cigarette, his eyes deep and serious: "I don't want to see you win a trophy, I just want you to stay healthy."

"I know."

Zhou Yanshao knew this, but he owed Li Bo a trophy.

During this period, Li Bo has been working almost entirely at the Nordic base. He's worried that Zhou Yanshao might overtrain and get injured again, so he needs to keep an eye on him.

Li Bo accompanied the trainees during the day, but suffered the consequences at night...

His office hours could only be in the evening and before 10 p.m., and he was still working while being... occasionally there were two conference calls, but he dared not make a sound, and occasionally he would utter a few words of "uh-huh" to indicate his agreement.
