My father's inheritance is my mortal enemy.

"Senior brother, how were you after you went back yesterday? I saw you drank a lot..." The junior sister took out a box of medicine from her pocket: "This is what I bought for you this morning."

"Need not."

Zhou Yanshao's attitude was icy cold.

The junior sister hesitated for a moment, then asked, "Senior brother, uh... can I... can I get your contact information?"

Zhou Yanshao raised his eyelids and glanced to the side.

Li Bo was eating.

When Li Bo heard his junior sister want to add Zhou Yanshao to the menu, his limbs stiffened, and he became clumsy in picking up food. He couldn't taste the food in his bowl. He didn't have much of an appetite to begin with, and now he didn't want to eat much at all.

The doctor said I need to eat properly.

Li Bo took a breath, stuffed a large mouthful into his mouth, and forced it down.

Zhou Yanshao took out his phone and scanned the QR code for his junior sister. She smiled and said, "Senior brother, please remember to accept my request."

Zhou Yanshao replied perfunctorily, "Oh."

Li Bo lowered his head to eat, but he didn't actually eat much; the amount of rice in his bowl didn't seem to decrease.

His mind was filled with Ruan Ge's words: Ruan Ge said that Zhou Yanshao would not add female athletes as friends, and he rarely even added male athletes.

Now, however, an exception has been made.

After Zhou Yanshao finished eating, he didn't leave immediately. Seeing Zhou Yanshao's empty plate, his junior sister quickly ate her food and said, "Senior brother, I'm done eating. Let's go."

"..."

Zhou Yanshao got up and left.

Li Bo also picked up his plate. As the two of them went to put the plates away, Zhou Yanshao looked at the food that Li Bo had barely touched and hesitated to speak.

Five years ago, Zhou Yanshao said, "If you're going to waste food, don't come to the base to eat." The next day, Li Bo left. He had a terrible temper.

When Li Bo came out of the canteen base, it was already dark. He was dressed lightly, and especially when the wind blew, he started coughing after only a few steps. He had probably caught a cold from the cold weather these past few days.

Li Bo realized that he needed to improve his physical fitness.

Li Bo put his hands in his pockets and walked downstairs to the dormitory building. He and Zhou Yanshao were going in different directions, but the male and female athletes' dormitories were not far apart. As Li Bo walked, he could no longer see Zhou Yanshao.

He watched Zhou Yanshao and his junior sister walk in another direction, then stood alone under the streetlight for a while. He wanted to light a cigarette, but then he realized he was out of cigarettes. Quitting smoking has never been an easy thing.

Li Boyan got a craving for cigarettes and went to a nearby supermarket to buy a pack.

Li Bo saw the cigarettes Zhou Yanshao often smoked, ordered a pack, and when he was paying, a hand reached out from his side and pointed to another brand of cigarettes.

Li Bo keenly noticed the scars on the back of the other person's hand. His pupils trembled, and he glanced sideways at Zhou Yanshao, who had appeared behind him at some point.

Let's get married together.

Li Bo paid for Zhou Yanshao's cigarettes as well.

The two left the supermarket together. Zhou Yanshao lit a cigarette and put it on his lips. Li Bo also lit one. They looked up at the bright moonlight, and their two figures occasionally overlapped on the ground.

Li Bo initiated a conversation: "Your fiancée is fake?"

"We broke up."

"..." Li Bo smiled. "Are you going back to Beijing after the competition this year?"

"I won't reply."

"……OK."

The surroundings quieted down again, with only the howling wind breaking the silence. Li Bo tried to start a conversation again: "Nordic countries are quite cold."

It's very cold in Northern Europe. Zhou Yanshao waited for Li Bo here for eight years.

He waited for Li Bo for eight years, but Li Bo never came for him even once.

Zhou Yanshao's eyes darkened: "It's alright."

Li Bo looked up at Zhou Yanshao, who had finished a cigarette and was about to take a second one, and held out his hand: "Give me back my cigarette."

"What?"

"I bought it."

"..."

Under Li Bo's firm gaze, Zhou Yanshao took out the cigarette case and placed it in Li Bo's hand.

Li Bo put away the cigarette and quietly escorted Zhou Yanshao to his dormitory. As Zhou Yanshao was about to enter the dormitory, Li Bo moved his lips and said, "Zhou Yanshao."

Zhou Yanshao slowly turned around to look at him.

Can I add you on WeChat?

"No." A refusal without hesitation.

After Zhou Yanshao finished speaking, he went upstairs. Li Bo stood there for a while, took out the cigarette box that Zhou Yanshao had smoked, and tried one. He couldn't taste the specific flavor, but it smelled faintly of tobacco.

After finishing his cigarette, Li Bo returned to his dormitory.

After he finished showering, he used his phone to search for Zhou Yanshao's social media account and sent him a friend request.

【L】：Li Bo.

【L】：I'll bring you breakfast tomorrow morning, go to bed early.

【L】：I'm going to sleep, goodnight.

Li Bo has started trying to go to bed early and eat a balanced diet in order to live a little longer.

Li Bo finally managed to fall asleep early, but unexpectedly had a nightmare in the middle of the night. He dreamed that Zhou Yanshao was marrying someone. He couldn't see the girl's face clearly, but he could feel that Zhou Yanshao was very happy.

When Li Bo woke up, he was covered in sweat.

He took a shower and when he came back, he checked his phone and saw that his friend request hadn't been accepted yet.

Li Bo posted another message: [I had a nightmare.]

Still no reply. Zhou Yanshao must be asleep by now. Li Bo tucked his phone under his pillow and went back to sleep.

In the morning, Li Bo was woken up by his alarm clock.

He got up and bought breakfast for Zhou Yanshao, delivering it to the door. This time, Li Bo also ran into his junior sister who had eaten with Zhou Yanshao the night before.

Li Bo was stunned for two seconds.

The junior sister, carrying breakfast, knocked on the door and made a phone call. Before the door opened, Li Bo bent down, put the breakfast aside, and prepared to leave.

Li Bo knew that his return to Northern Europe this time was somewhat different.

Zhou Yanshao was completely unwilling to talk to him anymore, nor was he willing to accept anything from him.

Perhaps it's anger, or perhaps it's a genuine decision to let go.

Li Bo didn't know that Zhou Yanshao was sick and couldn't take medicine, so he could only receive psychological counseling.

The cause of this disease is related to him.

Therefore, Li Bo wanted to stay in Northern Europe, hoping to help Zhou Yanshao with his illness. If he couldn't, he would stay with Zhou Yanshao until he recovered. As for what exactly Zhou Yanshao's "medicine" was, Li Bo couldn't decide.

Li Bo had only taken two steps when the dormitory door opened.

It was opened by Zhou Yanshao's roommate.

He glanced at Li Bo at the door, frowned, and then smiled when his gaze fell on his junior sister's face: "Junior sister, so early?"

"Is Senior Brother Yan Shao awake? I bought him breakfast on the way." The junior sister handed him the breakfast, "I bought one for you too."

"Oh...he's awake. He's already back from his morning run and is taking a shower now. Our dorm is too messy to come in, but I'll pass on your message." The roommate put away the things. "I'm really enjoying this too. Thanks, junior."

The junior sister smiled and said, "You're welcome!"

After exchanging a few polite words with her roommate, the junior female student left. Looking at Li Bo's retreating figure, her roommate called out, "Dude, wait a minute!"

Li Bo stopped in his tracks.

Looking at the breakfast Li Bo had bought and placed on the shelf by the door, her roommate said in a cold tone, "Don't bring it anymore. Yan Shao's intentions are quite clear. It would be too ill-mannered to bother him again."

"..." Li Bo didn't say anything and continued walking.

After the door closed, the roommate turned around and saw Zhou Yanshao standing not far away, his hair still wet and dripping water.

Zhou Yanshao's tone was stern: "Who are you talking to?"
