"Time to wake up." Someone kept pushing me. I reluctantly opened my eyes to see Ziyi ge smiling at me. "Huh?" I opened my eyes wider but it just turned out to be Fan Cheng Cheng.

"We're gonna be late for practice." He said while putting on his shirt. I just nodded but before I could head out to the bathroom, he stopped me. "You came in late last night."

"Long story short, Ziyi ge and I were stuck in a rooftop." I mumbled sleepishly. "You and Ziyi ge? Are you gay?" He blurted. "Jesus, we were practicing." I exclaimed.

"Practicing what?" He smirked. "For my center position." I explained. "You didn't even bother to call me." He pouted. "I will next time." I said, although it was a complete lie.

"Though I can admit you practice really hard." He commented. "Of course. Not all of us has a celebrity sister to catch us if we fall. We get one chance." I shrugged and it totally came off wrong. Cheng Cheng's smile disappeared and got replaced by a frown.

"I didn't mean it that way." I quickly said. "It's okay. I'll see you in the practice room." He said quietly before leaving.

It was lunch time when I joined Ziyi and Nong Nong. "I heard the performance segment is after lunch." Nong Nong said while slurping his orange juice. "Jia you Xiao Kun." Ziyi smiled. "Xie xie." I grinned.

"Since when did you two start giving nicknames?" Nong Nong got upset. "Since yesterday. Nong Nong is your nickname anyway." I rolled my eyes.

He laughed, realizing I was right. "Nevermind. I have to practice Ei Ei so I'll catch up with you later." He quickly finished up his food and left.

"Where is Cheng Cheng? Isn't your roommate?" Ziyi asked. "Yeh, so?" I raised one of my brows. "So didn't you invite him over?" He asked. "He's off with his Yuehua friends and besides, he is upset with me." I explained the whole story.

"That's so mean." He narrowed his eyes. "Yes, I know I'm wrong. Alright?!" I muttered.

"You're so cute when you're like that." He let out a slight chuckle which ended up really awkward in silence. Thank god Xiao Gui arrived. "Yo! This weekend is off. Have you heard?" He asked.

We both shook our heads. "Anyway, there's something going on, the filming is delayed." He went on. "Delayed? What happened?" Ziyi asked.

"Well apparently, the security camera at the hallway malfunctioned last night but they were able to catch shady figures of human walking at midnight. Whoever that is, is in deep trouble. He could be accused of cheating or doing anything against the rules." He explained.

Ziyi and I exchanged awkward glances. "I didn't hear anything. I fell asleep early last night." I said.

"Me neither. Nong Nong and I were busy talking." Ziyi shrugged. "Well I just came to inform you that. Looking forward for your performance bro!" He patted my shoulder before dashing out.

"Fuck. We're in trouble." I leaned into whisper. "Who else knows about it?" He asked. "Nong Nong... and Fan Cheng Cheng." I avoided his eyes, knowing he'd scold me.

"Why would you tell him?!" He whisper-yelled. "Well... I thought it doesn't matter." I sighed. "Now it does." He said. "I'm sorry."

"Is sorry the only thing you know? The worst case scenario could be disqualification. Are you aware of that?!" He yelled but in a whisper. "Fans will complain... the production wouldn't do that." I said.

"Really? Unlike you Cai Xukun, I don't have those fans and I'm not ranked in top 9 like you." He instantly stood and left. When he called me by my full name, sadness and pain flowed through my veins. I felt so hurt that I was close from crying.
