BABY ZHUZHU

When he recalled the event again, he could only sigh.

"Am I being too hard on that bastard?" He monologued while driving his old car.

He was heading to his parent's house. Today was his parent's anniversary, and he had promised them to sleep over at their house tonight.

He was driving in the busy street, but his mind dared to wander to the moment when he called Ye Quan disgusting.

The older athlete looked a bit offended by his harsh words, but he didn't say anything and just left him coldly.

Lin Zhu thought that he might be too harsh on the senior athlete, but then he shook his head firmly.

"It's not my fault," he continued his monologues. "He's acting like a pure boy in front of the coaches and other athletes, but he's the real bitch. He's the bitchest bitch I've ever known!"

Lin Zhu was so angry that he accidentally used his palm to press the horn. The loud horn sounded in the busy street, and he just smiled sheepishly.

"It's not my fault. I didn't mean to do it."

He didn't even want to admit his reckless action.

He continued driving the black car while kept cursing the older man. He hated the man so much, and he wouldn't ever forgive what the man had done in the past.

He was busy swearing inside his bubble, and he didn't realize that he already arrived at his parent's house. Thankfully, he didn't forget to stop the car in front of the one-story building.

His parent's house was just a normal house that wasn't too big and wasn't too small either. It had a yard in front of the building, and some trees grew well in the yard. Lin Zhu still remembered his father making a swing for him under one of the trees when he was little.

He turned off the car engine before unbuckling his seat belt. It had been two months since the last time he visited his parent's house, and he was sure that his parents would shower him with a lot of questions later.

Lin Zhu sighed heavily before getting out of the old car. His car was already so old, and it was originally his father's old car.

His father was an employee in a big company that was located far from the house, so he needed a younger car with a younger engine to commute daily. That was why his father let him use his old car after he bought a new car two years ago.

Lin Zhu couldn't protest and just used the car. He promised himself to buy a better car after he became the number one badminton player in the world, but was it still possible? He was just a failed athlete who couldn't even stay in the men's singles team and was kicked off the men's doubles team.

That was miserable, but he could only shake his head again. His hand then swiftly moved to the back pocket of his pants to fish out the house keys.

He didn't even change his shirt and was still wearing his damped shirt from his training earlier. He just needed to take a shower later.

He didn't need a long time to unlock the door, and he immediately stepped into the house.

"My baby ZhuZhu is finally home!"

He could hear a familiar voice greet his ears, and seconds later, he was ambushed by a familiar bear hug.

Lin Zhu chuckled as he raised his hands to return the hug. "I'm smelly, Mom. I just got back from my training," he said softly.

Lin Zhu had warned his mother, but his mother didn't budge. She seemed to be so comfortable hugging her oldest son.

Her mother had a small frame. Her height probably was only 156 centimeters. Perhaps he got the dwarf gene from his mother. His father was quite tall, probably around 183 centimeters, but his body chose to take his mother's genes instead.

"I miss you so bad, ZhuZhu. You're such a bad son for forgetting me easily!"

Lin Zhu giggled while bringing his hand move up and down his mother's back.

"I'm not forgetting you, Mom. I was just busy."

"Busy with what? You're busy transferring to another team without telling your parents?"

Lin Zhu was stunned when he heard another familiar voice. He looked up to see his father glaring at him. The drama king made an appearance.

The brown-haired youth sighed heavily before carefully pushing his mother's body.

Lin Zhu knew that he was in the wrong, so he didn't retort.

"I'm sorry, Ba," he apologized in a sincere tone. "I want to let you know about my transfer in person. That's why I didn't call to inform the matter."

His father didn't react and was still gawking at him like a papa bear gawking at a baby bear. Lin Zhu didn't flinch, though. He was used to his father's drama.

"Let's sit down first before we can continue talking," the father decided before turning his body and walking over to the couch in the living room.

Lin Zhu followed suit while hugging his mother's shoulder.

The three people then sat down peacefully in the living room.

Lin Zhouhan and Shi Yin were the most precious people in the world to him. Even though he rarely went home to meet his parents, he loved his parents dearly. His parents were his motivation to become the number one badminton player in the world, and they meant a lot to him.

"So, it's true that you've transferred to the men's doubles team? Is it because you played poorly in the last tournament?"

Lin Zhu pouted at his father's question. Even his father didn't hesitate to say that he played terribly in the last tournament.

"I think my skills will fit the men's doubles sector more. I have the speed, and I'm good at the netting. I believe I can do better in men's doubles," Lin Zhu spoke with a shrug as if what he just said was the most natural thing in the world, when in fact, he didn't even have half confidence in men's doubles sector.

Lin Zhouhan eyed him suspiciously, and the younger boy started to feel nervous. He couldn't guess what his father was going to say.

"I heard you partnered with Ye Quan. You hate him, don't you? How can you partner with him?"
