"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]

And Lin Zhu rewarded Ye Quan's words with a heavy slap right on the man's cheek.

Yes, his palm did land right on the man's cheek really hard because he used all his strength when he decided to shut the man's mouth by slapping the man. He was annoyed, and he was also sad when he found out that the taller man only saw him as trash.

True, he also didn't have a good opinion of the older man when he still thought of him as his enemy. However, everything had changed in his heart because of that stupid feeling called love, and that was why he didn't even remember that he once saw that man as a scoundrel who could only toy with women's hearts.

But just now the taller man had suddenly hurled such insults at him, he couldn't help but feel disappointed and angry. Moreover, the humiliation wasn't the truth, and that was why Lin Zhu couldn't even stop his hand from landing on the man's cheek.
