"BAD, MEAN, TOAD."

Those were the three words Lin Zhu used to describe Ye Quan.

Lin Zhu was a talented badminton athlete who started his brilliant career as a junior player in the national badminton team. He had won many titles as a men's singles player in the junior team, and his achievements were rewarded with a promotion to the senior team.

But, to his dismay, the reward suddenly turned into a punishment. He performed so badly in the last two years he spent with the senior team that he was finally kicked out of the men's singles team. He had only two choices: 1. Bury his dream and retire at such a young age; 2. Agree to be transferred to the men's doubles team. And Lin Zhu chose the second option.

He didn't expect that he would be paired with Ye Quan, another badminton player who had become his mortal enemy since a few years ago. Under the pressure from the team management to become the best men's doubles pair in the world, Lin Zhu and Ye Quan began their journey despite harboring hatred for each other.

What will happen to the two athletes? Will they be able to achieve their goal even if they are always at each other's throats?

BAD, MEAN, TOAD [BL]

Lin Zhu did not expect his mother to ask such a thing from him. He knew that his mother loved him very much, but why would she suddenly want to see him even after he said that he was fine? He wasn't on the verge of dying, so why did his mother suddenly make it sound like he was dying?

Glancing to the left once more, Lin Zhu assumed that Ye Quan couldn't hear his conversation with his mother, so he secretly heaved a sigh of relief before bringing his head to the window and whispering to his mother, "Ye Quan won't let you visit his house, Mom. You know he's really annoying, right? That's why you don't need to visit me while I was staying at his—"

"You can visit my house whenever you want, Auntie."

I EXPECT A KISS?
