"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 didn't say that he would date Yi Jianli, but he also didn't say that he would reject the girl's love for him. In the end, he looked like he was giving her a chance to get close to him, but that was actually his polite way of rejecting her love.

Could it be that was his way of delaying the girl's moment of heartbreak? It wasn't that Lin Zhu cared about the girl's feelings, but he just didn't want to act recklessly when it was a girl on the national team who fell in love with him.

True, Yi Jianli was also part of the national team, and Lin Zhu knew that it would not be a wise decision for him to choose to date a girl on the team. He didn't want to experience being the next Ye Quan forced by Lu Mei to break up with his girlfriend, right?
