"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 thing you want to talk to me about is related to Lin Zhu, right, Coach Cheng?"

Right after Lin Zhu left the two of them in the parking lot, Ye Quan immediately asked the older man.

The two were still in the parking lot with no intention of moving elsewhere to speak. It was almost evening now, and that was why the sun wasn't so hot on their skin now.

After Lin Zhu left them, Ye Quan couldn't hold back his curiosity any longer, and that was why he immediately questioned his coach.

"You already guessed that the matter I'm about to talk about is related to Lin Zhu, so you must know that he has the intention to quit the team, right? Why did you pretend as if you didn't know what was going to happen with him today, Ah Quan? You even asked why he didn't come to our training today, right?"
