At the middle of the night, my maid Catherine  came to check on me. "Miss, you have been hitting all night. Go get some rest." She said as she hand me a bottle of water.

"I know your feelings. You are just mad because Mr. and Mrs. Jin will be back in a week." Said Catherine "Please go get some rest." Catherine begged. I sigh deeply and went upstairs to my bedroom. 

Catherine carried my racket and balls to the gym room and went upstairs. I close my door softly and open my windows. I looked up to the sky. Mom, dad. I miss you. Please come back. I close my eyes and feel a single tear drop on my face slowly.

I throw myself on my chair and try to stay up all night but I'm to tired so I fall asleep.

*The next day*

"Chuyou! Chuyou! Wake up!" My brother shouted. I lift my head up and he gasped. "Omg, your eyes are black!" He exclaimed. I looked at my brother but I feel my body is so weak that I fainted on the ground.  "Chuyou! Chuyou! Put her on her bed!" Jin Wentai shouted. I feel someone was carried my body on my bed while placing a warm towel on my forehead.

*At school*

"Where is Chuyou?" Jiale asked as he balance a ball on his racket. "No idea." Said Qiao Chen playing against Lu Xia. Chi Dayong shows up. "Ensemble!" He announced. Everyone gather in a line. "I heard Chuyou is not feeling well so she stayed at home." Said Chi Dayong.

"Not feeling well?!" Jiale exclaimed. "We are about to play against No.6 High School, we need her." Said Qiao Chen. Chi rolled his eyes. "I didn't say she won't be here during the competition! You guys are being over dramatic!" Chi said.

"Now for our training plans today, we will be doing 100 push ups run 9.3 milles lifting 50 kg weight liftes and 100 sit ups and run 100 times around the 6 courts." Said Zhiming. "That's so hard, and a lot. I don't know if I can survive today after this." Jiale complained. "Jiale, we literally do this every single day. It's not rocket science." Zhiming said.

Jiale looked around. "Where is Zhuo Zhi?" He asked. "No way! Don't tell me Zhuo Zhi the prodigy is not here." Said Qiao Chen.

"What do you mean?" A voice asked. Qiao Chen turn around and saw Zhuo Zhi. "Zhuo Zhi, I thought you are not going to be here today." Said Qiao Chen.

"Maybe he is taking care of Chuyou?" Jiale teased. Zhuo Zhi glared. "I didn't know Chuyou was sick." Zhuo Zhi said. "Yeah sure sure, you don't know." Jiale teased. Zhuo Zhi raise his elbow. "My assignment was due today and I hand it in." Said Zhuo Zhi.

"Ok so what actually happened to Chuyou?" Qiao Chen. "Did you not hear what Chi said?" Baiyang sneer. "She is not feeling well." Baiyang said. "No that's not it. Yesterday she was looking fine." Said Qiao Chen.

"I heard one of my friends in Hai Guang, they heard her brother said she didn't get enough sleep and she fainted this morning." Said Zhuo Zhi.

"Oh I see." Said Jiale. "But she is getting better." Said Zhuo Zhi. Everyone stare at Zhuo Zhi. "Let's start our training for today." Said Zhiming.

*Back at Chuyou's house*

"Here Miss, your tea with lemon and honey." Said my maid that she hand me a little white fancy tea cup. "Catherine, what time is it?" I asked weakly. "Is 4:50 in the afternoon." Said Catherine. I got up but Catherine push me down on my bed. "You young lady need to rest." Said Catherine.

My brother Jin Wentai came to my room. He held my hands. "Chuyou, you need to rest. Your eyes are so black." Jin Wentai said. I nodded. "Jin Wentai, "why are you home ask early? Does school ends at 3:30?" I asked.

"You silly! I came to visit you." Jin Wentai said smiling while patting my head. I smile warmly. "I heard that you school tennis team is going to play against No.6 High School tomorrow?" Jin Wentai asked. I put my tea on the table.

"Yeah, right." I answered. "Are you going to play?" Jin Wentai asked. I nodded very quickly. "And with this condition?" Jin Wentai asked. "I have to go." I said.

After, you guys played No.6 High School. You have to play against Xing Yao and then Hai Guang which is us." Jin Wentai snarled. Then he grabbed his bag and close the door.

Suddenly my phone ringed. It was Zhuo Zhi!!!
