Good Friends Table Tennis Club

Shameless rogue veteran team captain X shy, puppy-like young team captain

A series of everyday training sessions and matches about how the captain of Team A teaches his little puppy to become the captain of Team B, step by step.

It's really just everyday life, telling the story of the teammates loving and fighting with one another.

The provincial games are just around the corner when a shy newcomer who has trouble expressing himself joins the Yiyou Table Tennis Club.

The coach hopes the newcomer can earn a spot in the end-of-month friendly match, so he sends him straight to Xu Jie, the men's team's flirtatious captain.

But Xu Jie thinks this newcomer, who never understands his dirty jokes, is a burden.

He's not only a blusher, he's also a lot of trouble.

Until a few years later...

"Baby, you're finally all grown up."

This time, Cheng Yue, who has just graduated, finally understands what this guy is getting at, and his face, which hasn't flushed in ages, turns red again.

I thought I was training the next team captain, but it turns out I was training my boyfriend. (Collapses)

Mini Theater

I heard Dream Chasers is going to compete with us for a spot in the provincial games?

We can't let that stand!

Come on! Let's go beat them up!!!

Cheng Yue: Captain Xu, don't forget about me! I can't beat them!

Other teammates: Holy crap! We actually forgot about this guy. What do we do?

Xu Jie thinks for a moment, then slaps his palm down. "It's fine, honey! I'll be your lucky cat! I guarantee your combat power will shoot right up."

Cheng Yue: Mm-hmm!!

Everyone: ????

Captain Xu, are you serious?

And what the heck is a lucky cat! Even "lucky charm" would be better than that!!!
