Come Up with a Plan

Note: Zhou's POV

Zhou checked his phone as he received a message from Qigang asking to meet at the cafe near the university. He sighed and told him he would come after his basketball practice. 

"Is everything okay, Captain Zhou?" his best friend, Luoyang, asked him as he wiped the sweat running down his cheek, "You've been acting weird and distant these past few weeks."

"Yeah, everything is okay," Zhou nodded, forcing a smile as he sat on the bench, "I just have a lot on my mind."

Luoyang stared at him intently, causing Zhou to squirm under his gaze.

"Are you and Teng doing alright?" his best friend asked him, "Usually, you always spend lunch with him and his friends, but now you only spend it with that Anya girl."

"Ah, that's because I'm helping her with...with something," Zhou cleared his throat, "Yeah, that's it."
