[ENG] The Captain's Lover

SHORT STORY

TF Family 4th Generation: GUIRUI

Zhang Guiyuan X Zhang Hanrui

Zhang Guiyuan is the loud laugh in a crowded gym, the slam dunk that sends the crowd roaring. Tall, effortlessly charming, and the captain of the basketball team, he's a born leader with a mischievous streak and a heart worn entirely on his sleeve-especially when it comes to his boyfriend. Around Zhang Hanrui, he's a golden retriever in human form: loyal, affectionate, and absolutely whipped.

Zhang Hanrui, on the other hand, is the embodiment of a rainy afternoon with a warm blanket and a book. Soft-spoken, thoughtful, and kitten-like in demeanor, he's the calm to Guiyuan's storm. He rarely raises his voice, but when he looks up from his book and smiles, Guiyuan forgets how to breathe.

Together, they're opposites in perfect balance-fire and still water, chaos and calm, captain and muse. One reads under a tree while the other plays ball nearby. One cheers the loudest from the bleachers; the other sends quiet love through glances. And somehow, in all their differences, they fit like puzzle pieces-flawlessly.
