Time passed, one year, then two.

Hong Bi was a far better tennis player than those who only ventured into the sport for money.

She had learned to play by chance and made it her life throughout her school years.

Even as time passed, she remained remarkably skilled.

She never stopped eating well and staying active, always exercising to keep her body in shape and avoid falling into a sedentary lifestyle.

She loved the thrill of scoring a point, the rush of chasing after the ball, and even the challenge of recovering from a difficult rally to keep fighting for the next point.

Hong Bi was fiercely competitive and exceptionally talented, which made losing a competition, or anything, really, especially difficult for her.

Her solution? Just don't lose.

If you win, you never have to deal with the heartbreak of defeat. But, of course, that was easier said than done. So she worked tirelessly until the very last day, striving to be the best.
