My father's inheritance is my mortal enemy.

Zhou Yanshao has no desire to answer the phone right now.

Li Bo paused for a moment, his expression behind his glasses conveying pain, forbearance, and restraint. A faint halo reflected off the lenses, and his cheeks and neck were slightly flushed.

He bit his lip, a fine layer of sweat on his forehead, and reminded, "Take the call if anything comes up."

Zhou Yanshao didn't necessarily want to answer the call, but he had his own agenda. He wanted to see Li Bo control his voice, not making any noise, only his muffled breathing could be heard.

Zhou Yanshao stuffed the tie into Li Bo's mouth and answered the phone, "What's up?"

Sun Shengyang whimpered, "Brother Shao, Russia is so cold! I should have asked you about the weather before I came, now I'm shivering from the cold!"

Zhou Yanshao: "..."

Sun Shengyang: "Are you still awake? I have some good news for you! I'm arriving at the sports village soon. A friend of my dad's works for the organizing committee, and I pulled some strings, and he agreed to let me stay in the sports village!"

"It's been so long since we last met! Oh, by the way... something really big, a huge deal!" Sun Shengyang was always distracted by other things and easily went off-topic.

"What?"

Zhou Yanshao gave Sun Shengyang a perfunctory response.

His gaze remained fixed on Li Bo. As soon as he entered the room, he carried him to the bed. Because of time constraints and his eagerness, Li Bo's suit was still on, and even his trousers were still on one ankle.

Li Bo, dressed so formally, is both excessively refined and excessively alluring.

"Li Bo... I saw Li Bo on the news in the sports village! He... could he have come back to life? Could it be that what I saw at the Beijing hospital last time was real?" Sun Shengyang exclaimed, "He's really alive... but that doesn't make sense. Why would he hide if he were alive? He was at the height of his career in Beijing back then..."

"Uh..." Zhou Yanshao raised his eyebrows slightly, looking at Li Bo's expression, feeling pleased.

Li Bo loves controlling the time. When it's almost time to rest, he always finds a way to finish as quickly as possible.

Sun Shengyang continued, "Brother Shao, don't you also find it strange? I even suspect he might have been kidnapped back then... Brother Shao, have you seen him in the sports village?"

Zhou Yanshao raised his lips: "Mm."

Not only have I seen it, but it's right in front of me.

Zhou Yanshao said, "Right next to me."

Sun Shengyang: "????"

Sun Shengyang was shocked, astonished, and incredulous!

So Brother Shao already knew Li Bo was still alive? Had they reconciled all their past grievances? Sun Shengyang thought about it carefully... and it made sense. After all, when Brother Shao learned of Li Bo's death five years ago, he returned to Beijing overnight and even bought the rental house where Li Bo used to live. In the past two years, he would stay there for two days every time he returned to Beijing.

Although Sun Shengyang knew that Li Bo had done many things wrong and hurt Shao Ge's feelings, he and Zhou Yanshao were the same kind of people. They were born with many advantages, and they understood Li Bo's efforts to gain recognition. Therefore, it was difficult for them to truly hate Li Bo to the point of never wanting to see him again.

Zhou Yanshao held the phone to Li Bo's ear, and with his other hand removed the tie from Li Bo's mouth, reminding him, "Sun Shengyang."

"Li...Li Bo?"

"………Um."

Li Bo lowered his head, couldn't help but bite Zhou Yanshao, then moved the phone away from his ear and muttered a couple of curses: "You little beast."

"I'm hanging up," Zhou Yanshao said coldly.

Li Bo was so nervous that he dropped his phone, and Zhou Yanshao hung up.

Zhou Yanshao left half an hour later than usual tonight after cleaning everyone up.

As Zhou Yanshao left, Li Bo frowned. Zhou Yanshao looked at Li Bo's face and coaxed, "Don't be angry..."

Li Bo took off his gold-rimmed glasses and tossed them aside.

Zhou Yanshao dirtied his gold-rimmed glasses; that was really going too far.

Li Bo wasn't really angry; he was trying to establish Zhou Yanshao's authority. How could he allow someone much younger than him to climb over him and act arrogantly?

Seeing that he didn't speak, Zhou Yanshao climbed onto the bed, hugged him from behind, and turned off the light: "Why aren't you saying anything?"

"..."

"Li Bo".

"..."

Why aren't you saying anything?

"..."

"If you're angry, hit me or yell at me, don't stay silent." Zhou Yanshao raised his hand and touched Li Bo's eyes. He wasn't crying, so he pulled him closer.

Li Bo stirred slightly. "Alright, go back to sleep early."

Are you still angry?

"Don't be angry."

"..." Zhou Yanshao still refused to leave, "I don't want to change this..."

Zhou Yanshao liked to rub things against Li Bo's cheeks, and not just his cheeks.

He just likes Li Bo, wants to tag #LiBo, wants to do all the intimate things with Li Bo, wants Li Bo to belong to him completely, every part of Li Bo, even a single strand of hair, has to be his.

"I didn't tell you to change." Li Bo patted the arm that was tightly hugging him around the waist. "You're hugging too tightly. Go back to sleep. You have training tomorrow morning."

"Oh." Zhou Yanshao refused to leave. "I'll wait until you fall asleep before I go."

Li Bo knew that Zhou Yanshao was particularly insecure and afraid that he would leave, a lingering effect of Zhou Yanshao always pushing people away. It was like raising a dog. If you let the leash loose once and the dog went out to play on its own, and when it came back it found its owner gone and couldn't find him anywhere, the second time you let the dog out, the dog wouldn't wander off. It would hold the leash and stay by his side, waiting for him to lead it.

Li Bo turned around and touched Zhou Yanshao's silvery-white hair: "Here's what we'll do... I'll give you three chances. If you make me angry in the future, I'll forgive you three times. Once you've used up your three chances, I won't forgive you anymore."

"..." Zhou Yanshao thought for a moment, "When I make a mistake and need a chance... will you tell me?"

"meeting."

"...Can things that happen in bed not count?" Zhou Yanshao knew that he was sometimes very possessive, but he didn't want to change. He just wanted to possess Li Bo excessively. He would pay attention to Li Bo's body and not hurt him.

"able."

Zhou Yanshao was relieved: "Okay."

Zhou Yanshao nuzzled Li Bo's neck. "You can't do what you did before when you said you wanted to break up, deliberately making things difficult for me and picking on me. I can change, I just need some time. I'll listen to you from now on."

"OK."

Li Bo will never intentionally leave again.

He would forgive Zhou Yanshao countless times without needing to use any of his opportunities.

Li Bo knew that no one in the world cherished him or their relationship more than Zhou Yanshao.

He just wanted to give Zhou Yanshao a sense of security.

You have three chances, and you can never use them all.

Zhou Yanshao no longer needs to worry about Li Bo leaving.
