"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 thought that the bet was unnecessary, and that was why he ignored it instead of accepting it. Why did Ye Quan like to make a bet very much? Lin Zhu remembered how the older man had also asked him to make a bet during the Japan Open, but he didn't say anything to the man at that time either.

And maybe Ye Quan wasn't serious about the bet either, and that was why he stopped talking about it instead of continuing to bother Lin Zhu with it.

However, even if Lin Zhu managed to escape Ye Quan's bet, he still couldn't escape the bet initiated by the younger pair before their match in the second round started today. Zhou Xiaowei and Yi Shan wanted the winners to treat the losers, and that was the reason why they were at the restaurant for dinner today.

They weren't the only ones at the table as their coach, Cheng Xiaojian, was right there with them. A wide smile appeared on the coach's face from the moment they arrived at the restaurant and sat there together.

NOT BAD OR BAD?
