"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]

After meeting with Zhang Wei, he didn't do anything and just returned to the hotel he was currently staying at. He didn't tell his parents about his problem, and he had to sacrifice his money to live in a hotel.

Even his meeting with Zhang Wei couldn't guarantee what would happen to him in the future. The manager was surprised when he said that he would be retiring, and the man even stayed silent for a moment without giving the younger man any response.

Lin Zhu was nervous when he saw the manager's reaction, but then the older man let out a heavy sigh before he told him to reconsider his decision, and that he would also discuss it with the people in team management before they could come to a decision for him.

Even if Zhang Wei told him to reconsider his decision, Lin Zhu had no plans to change his mind, but he just nodded his head at the man in response to the man's words that he would first discuss the matter with the people in the team.
