"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]

The public display of affection shown right under his nose only made Lin Zhu feel worse. Since last night, he had felt alone, and that was why he wanted to meet his best friend today. Who would have thought that he would feel even lonelier once he finally saw his friend again?

No, he didn't have bad feelings about Xiao Mimi anymore, and he didn't want to bully her either. He just didn't feel uncomfortable when he saw his best friend being intimate with the girl he used to bully when he was at school.

Correct. Instead of being a good student, Lin Zhu used most of his time at school to bully the girl Xiao Mimi, and it was yet another regret that ate into his heart when he finally reaped what he had sown.

Perhaps Xu Liuming could see that Lin Zhu didn't look comfortable with what he was doing with his girlfriend, and that was why the man asked his girlfriend to prepare drinks for the two of them before inviting Lin Zhu to come to the living room with him.
