Pseudo-siblings. Cold-faced menace and smiling cutie.

Synopsis:

Eighteen-year-old Le Xinghui has three problems.

First, why can't he grow another ten centimeters? At 180 cm, he looks like a tiny collectible figure on the team.

Second, why can't his big brother like him? His brother says their relationship isn't normal, but they're not related by blood, and they're not on the same household register. If his brother dares to get himself a boyfriend, Le Xinghui dares to cheat on him right in front of him!

Third, how can he avoid playing libero?

Le Xinghui: "Libero? Not even a dog would play it!"

Also Le Xinghui: "Woof, woof! I'm my big brother's good little dog!"

Synopsis:

The reason Li Jie and Lin Jianlu are sworn enemies probably goes back to when they were four.

The first time Li Jie met Lin Jianlu, he stole his mother's five-carat diamond ring that night, climbed into Lin Jianlu's bed, and slipped it onto his ring finger.

Four-year-old Lin Jianlu accepted it, then turned around and beat Li Jie until he cried.

They fought their way through childhood, and everyone saw them as sworn enemies. Their teams were rivals too, with years of resentment between them.

Until one day, Lin Jianlu was subjected to unprecedented bullying within his team.

A volleyball prodigy fell from grace. Banned from competition and met with cold stares, Lin Jianlu was in a wretched state, with nowhere to turn for help. His attempts to transfer teams kept failing. Just when he was at the end of his rope, the only team willing to take a risk and accept him was Li Jie's. It became his safe haven.

On the day he went to sign in with his new team, Lin Jianlu stood alone outside the office, using the last of his strength.

The door opened, and Li Jie appeared right in front of him. "Well, if it isn't 'High-Speed Attack Lu.' What happened to your deer hooves?"

Lin Jianlu coolly raised his middle finger. "Asshole."

That day, they nearly got disciplined by the team for fighting.

Later, they nearly got disciplined by the team for making out.

In the end, Li Jie really was disciplined by the team for fighting the opposing team's hitter after a match. Furious, he beat the guy until he couldn't lift his head. His eyes were bloodshot. "You're the one who nearly had someone break his leg, aren't you?"

No one dared to stop him. Only Lin Jianlu stepped forward and grabbed Li by the collar. "Let go! We just won gold. Don't make me punch you while I'm this happy."

Theme: Have a good relationship, and be brave enough to win gold.
