"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]

Yes, it was their first win since they started teaming up together about two months ago. It was the second tournament when they participated as a team, and finally, they won in the first round of the tournament.

Of course, the two athletes were very pleased with their achievement even though it was only the first round of the tournament. Who cared even if it was just the first round? Who cared even if their opponent wasn't even in the top 10 in the world?

All they cared about was that they had finally accomplished something after working hard in the past few months. Amidst the storm and the sun, these two had finally achieved something, and that was why they celebrated their first win as if they were Olympic champions.

They did feel that half of the burden in their hearts had finally been lifted, and they even celebrated by hugging tightly when they managed to become the first to get 21 points in the second game.
