Lu Jia smiles as Ying puts down the pot "You must be sad that you can't practice with the others." She shrugs at Xing Zi

"I don't mind much, but it's the third time I get injured and miss the training program." She explains shrugging

They both lean over the pot as Xing Zi opens it "That smells so good!"

"Ying, you can cook well!"

Ying starts coughing, the two other girls looking at her concerned "Are you okay? You haven't been feeling well these days... How about you go see the doctor in advance?"

"It's okay, I'll just take some medicine. Don't worry." Lu Jia is about to speak with a thunder rolls, she flinches a little as it starts raining

"We better go grab some umbrellas for the guys. Me and Xing Zi only, don't want you getting sicker."

"Wouldn't it be faster with three? They can't get cold, they have matches." She runs off before anyone can stop her, the two girls looking at each other shaking their heads

They grabs umbrellas ready to head out when they see Mu and Lu Xia "Did you see Qi Ying?"

"She's not here?"

"She went out to give you umbrellas, she left without us." Lu Xia drops his bag, Lu Jia grabbing it so it didn't hit the floor before dropping it moments later running out after the boy with a umbrella in her hand

"What is that boy thinking?!" She mutters to herself before coming across a two way road, she picks the right one running before slipping a few moments later

Lu Jia hisses, pain throbbing through her leg as she tries to put weight on it. The girl pulls the umbrella closer shivering as she checks for any open wounds. She crawls closer to edge of the road before taking the bandage from her cut out.

She curses under her breath seeing the cut open, the bandages already too wet to be of help. She sniffles as the realization of the situation hits her. She must have picked the wrong road, since she has yet to see her brother, and now she was lost and hurt.

TIME SKIP

"Coach? How's Qi Ying?"

"She has a fever and needs to go to a hospital." 

"Is it that bad?" The woman nods before sighing

"Have you found Lu Jia yet?" 

"No... We've searched even the area of the forest next to the road, but nothing. We're thinking of following the other path now."

"Be careful and take something to cover her, Xing Zi said she was only wearing a dress when she left." Siyang nods "Oh, and grab Huang Jing, he's also sick."

"Let's do this, I'll have Mu and Xiuwen go together, that way, they can take care of everyone at the hospital."

"What about here? And Lu Jia will probably need to go to the hospital too."

"Don't worry, I'll take care of things here." Siyang says giving the coach a small nod

"In that case, I'll go too! My brother is here, they'll behave themselves."

"Okay, don't make any trouble. I'll be back tomorrow morning, call me as soon as you find Lu Jia and if she'll need to go to the hospital as well." Siyang nods before leaving

"Zhuo Zhi, Baiyang and I will go search for Lu Jia, you guys prepare some blankets and warm clothes. Oh, and make sure to keep yourselves warm as well."

"I want to go with you."

"Lu Xia, you already ran in the rain for a long time today, we can't have two more sick people." He sighs in defeat, his captain was right, he had went with Xing Long and Yan earlier

"Go, hurry up then! She's in the rain!" Jiale exclaims drying his hair

"Be right back, with Lu Jia." Zhuo Zhi says, the underlying tone of a promise making Lu Xia relax a little

TIME SKIP

"LU JIA?" Siyang calls out holding the blanket as tightly as he can

"Here!" He runs in the direction finding the girl, the sight of her leg with blood makes him frown in worry

"Are you hurt? Besides your cut." He says crouching down, the girl gulps looking guilty

"My ankle, I think I sprained it..." She explains in a quiet tone "I-I'm sorry." She whispers before sniffling

"Hey, it's fine." He reassures her before wrapping the blanket around her back

"I know I shouldn't have ran after Lu Xia but, I just-" Siyang cups her cheeks with his hands before pulling her into a kiss

"Are you calmer now?"

"Oh." Lu Jia stares at Siyang in shock, a deep red covering her cheeks

He chuckles before getting up "Come on, close your umbrella, I need to pick you up." She does as told, holding the boy's umbrella as he picks her up easily

"I'm sorry." She mumbles hearing him slightly groan

"You're fine. You're not heavy, I'm just not very used to picking pretty people."

 "I'm pretty?" She smiles as his cheeks turn a soft pink

"Let's get you back inside, the fever you most probably have is affecting your hearing." She chuckles at him

"I know what I heard!" She says with a pout

"It's the fever, that's what you're hearing."

"That makes no sense." Siyang chuckles as she lays her head on his shoulder

"I'm sorry for causing trouble. Especially so close to the matches."

"Don't worry, no one will be mad. Maybe your brother, but it'll be more about you running after him and getting lost than anything."

"Still, the next matches are important."

"We have Xu Hao, she'll kick their asses, don't worry." Siyang says before leaving a small kiss on her forehead

"Yeah, I hope so." Lu Jia murmurs hiding her clearly red face, God, she hoped this wasn't all just a fever dream...
