"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]

Fortunately, Lin Zhu managed to find his way back to Ye Quan's house without adding to his troubles when he already had a lot of trouble inside his head.

Indeed, he still had to return to that man's house tonight even if he didn't want to. His belongings were still at the man's house, and although most of it was just his clothes, they were still valuable because he bought them all with real money, not paper money.

That was why Lin Zhu called a taxi before telling the driver Ye Quan's address. The driver was an old man, and it seemed that he didn't follow the sports news in the country, which was why he didn't recognize Lin Zhu even if the young athlete appeared with a bare face in his car.

Without saying anything, the driver just started driving the four-wheeled vehicle, and the inside of the car was shrouded in silence that only added to Lin Zhu's gloom.

I WILL LEAVE
