THE APHELION

'You refuse!?' Shen Xi can't believe her ears when Zhao MingAn blabbering everything about Shen YongZheng's proposal at the dining table, 'YunLan...For someone who even doesn't have a diploma, that position is very good...'

'No...' Zhao XinChi cuts his wife's words, 'I agree with YunLan...' He said.

'Husband...'

'YunLan doesn't have any diploma...No matter how good his works are, many people will not believe him...With that such jealousy, his position will backfire on him soon or later...Not to mention, General Shen's position will also be at stake...' Zhao XinChi cuts his wife's words one more time, 'Besides, become the police's division's leader...He will encounter a lot of enemies...General Shen and his family are HaiXing people...They have the power to protect themselves...But YunLan...' He proceeds as he put down his empty rice bowl on the table, 'You make a right decision, son...' Zhao XinChi leaves the table while patting his son's shoulder.

Zhao YunLan glances at his father's back, somehow he feels that his father is somewhat relieved.

Zhao YunLan drops his body on the bed soon after he finished the bath, sighs as he reminisces the past. The beautiful days that he spent in SID along with his companions, the case they solved, and Shen Wei.

Zhao YunLan sighs as he rolls his body, facing the ceiling. 'How many times did I have put you in a lot of difficulties?' Zhao YunLan muttered, 'How many times have you put yourself at a huge risk because of me? Shen Wei...I can't see you do that ever again...' He rubs his face with his palm.

Ouyang Zhen sits in front of a man that hid in the dark shade of the dim light, keeps lowering his head as he is so scared.

'So...You want to say that the XingDu bureau already sniffs something wrong in your research...' The man said.

'Yes...' Ouyang Zhen lowering his head even more, 'But Sir...XingDu bureau has never done anything like this before...They usually just stick with the criminal...'

The man put down the two little balls that he played in his palm, 'Are they with someone?' He asked.

Ouyang Zhen lifts his face as he thinks, 'There are two young men that I don't know come with the twins...'

'Two?'

'Yes...'

The man sighs, 'Alright...I understand...In the meantime, don't do anything too obvious...' He said.

'Yes...'

'I'll find out who the one behind this incident...' The man said.

'Why do you refuse the position?' Shen Wei stands under the cypress while Zhao YunLan sits on the ladder, snipping the branches.

'I told you loud and clear why...' Zhao YunLan replied, 'All I want to do is just clear up the misunderstanding between us...' He proceeds as he wipes his sweats, 'As the mission accomplished, I don't have to do anything else...' He proceeds as he gets down from the ladder, carries it then moves to another tree.

'Don't you think that talent should be explored?' Shen Wei doesn't seem to give up as he follows Zhao YunLan to another tree.

'With all of respect Chief Shen...I don't think that I'm talented enough to become the leader of the new division...' Zhao YunLan replied.

'You can see many things that I can't see yet you said that you are not talented enough to be the leader of the new division...Are you mocking me?' Shen Wei's voice tone is not sound upset even a little.

'I'm not mocking you, Young Master...' Zhao YunLan answered as he keeps snipping the tree, 'All that I want to say is just that I enjoy my present life and don't plan to change the rhythm...'

'They are at it again?' Guo ChangCheng who always visited Zhao YunLan in his working place now stands along with Sang Zan.

'Mhm...' Sang Zan gulping down his mineral water from the bottle, 'It's been three days...' Sang Zan says, 'I never see the first Young Master chase after someone this passionate before...If only he shows interest in a lady just like what he does to Zhao YunLan right now, he will have a dozen kids already...'

'Really...They are just like my uncle and aunt in quarrels...' Guo ChangCheng gripping his bag's leash.

'What do you mean?' Sang Zan asked.

'Boss is just like my sulking aunt and Chief Shen acts exactly like my uncle when he tried to persuade her...' Guo ChangCheng said. Sang Zan was almost choked by the water when he heard that, he can't even stop laughing over the metaphor.

'The garden sounds so lively...' Shen MeiHua smiled, 'This is the first time I see Wei-er that excited...'

'Mhm...' Shen YongZheng nodded in agreement, 'I have to say this Zhao YunLan is quite something...' He said, 'A very unique talent and the first person who is not intimidated by our son...'

'He is just a HaiXing but so brave...' Shen MeiHua said, 'He can be an equal partner for Wei-er...'

'Yes, he could...' Gwang Li's voice was heard after a long silence, 'Or should I say, Zhao YunLan is his only partner...The only person who can stand equally with Chief Shen...'

'He is?' Shen MeiHua asked.

'Mhm...' Gwang Li nodded, 'Somehow, their destiny is intertwining one and another...As if one is created for the other...No matter how they separated, destiny will find the way to unite them...'

'To know that my son will have that kind of a close friend, I'm relieved...' Shen YongZheng said, 'That boy is such of a loner since his childhood...That makes me worry...'

'I'm afraid...That their relationship will not be that simple...' Gwang Li said.

'Madame Gwang...What do you mean?' Shen MeiHua asked.

Gwang Li just smiles as he replies, 'Just the time who can answer to the question...'

'Then can you at least tell me what weighing in your mind that make you reluctant to accept the job?' Shen Wei asked as all of his persuasions are not working.

Listen to the question, Zhao YunLan can't reply as his mind drifted to the past. The picture of Shen Wei when the man shares the life energy just to heal his eyes flashing in his mind, the consequences that followed the action can't just be forgotten. The reason why YeZun could kill Shen Wei in the past, all because the man had been weakened. One by one every dark event in the past starts flashing like a slide show, the bleeding Shen Wei, the pained Shen Wei, the weakened Shen Wei. Zhao YunLan can't forgive himself if, in this life, Shen Wei has to experience the same danger for him. No, not as long as he could do something to prevent it.

'Zhao YunLan...Zhao YunLan!' Shen Wei's voice echoed in his consciousness, pulling Zhao YunLan back to earth. 'Zhao YunLan!!!'

'What!?' Zhao YunLan shouted back on Shen Wei.

'What are you thinking actually!?' Shen Wei asked confusedly.

'Nothing...' Zhao YunLan replied, he can't say that he thinking of their past.

'Nothing?' Shen Wei asked incredulously, 'Then why do you destroy the plant?' He asked.

'Huh!?'

Zhao YunLan frowned, he could see that Sang Zan and Guo ChangCheng are scratching their head and averting their eyes as if couldn't see what unfold before them. Zhao YunLan gulps as he turns his head only to find the tree that supposes to be trimmed now literally flat as he cut it without thinking.

'Oh, my God!!!' Zhao YunLan shouted, 'What have I done!?'

'That is my mother's favorite plant...' Shen Wei added frost to the ice.

'That is your fault!' Zhao YunLan screamed to the nonchalant man under him.

'How can be that my fault?' Shen Wei asked, 'You the one who cut it...'

'But you distracting me!' Zhao YunLan retorted.

'I didn't do anything...'

'Gosh! What should I do?' Zhao YunLan turns pale even forgets that he sits on the ladder as he stands abruptly and makes the ladder shakes.

'Zhao YunLan what are you doing!?' Shen Wei is shocked, spreads his hands spontaneously.

'Whoa...Whoa...Whoa!!!' Zhao YunLan's footing staggering and he falls in no time.

'Boss!', 'Zhao YunLan!' Guo ChangCheng and Sang Zan shouted in unison but can't do anything as they stand too far.

'Damn!' Zhao YunLan cursed soon after he finished with his shock due to the fall. What a weird, his body is not pained at all.

'The one who should curse is me...' Shen Wei's voice heard from beneath him makes Zhao YunLan startled.

'Gosh! What are you doing there!?' Zhao YunLan was confused but did not even move from the top of Shen Wei's body.

'Let me think...' Shen Wei sighs, 'Trying to catch you...' He proceeds.

'Thanks...' Zhao YunLan muttered.

'You are welcome...But how about moving your ass from my tummy?' Shen Wei asked.

'Ah...Sure...' Zhao YunLan says soon after he realized that he still sits in Shen Wei's body, 'Here, let me help you...' Zhao YunLan said, stretching his hand.

Shen Wei sighs and reaches the stretching hand. Just by luck as Zhao YunLan pulls with all of his might without a strong footing, the staggering Shen Wei lost his balance along with him, and they both fall. Shen Wei's forehead bumps a little with Zhao YunLan's make them both grimace in pain. Guo ChangCheng and Sang Zan just could smack their face as they see the stupidity.

But Zhao YunLan could care less about his forehead as Shen Wei's face is now so close. The clean handsome face with a perfect masculine contour that looks so beautiful with the shining black granite eyes now not even an inch distance from him, when did the last time he could see this beauty in this close?

'What are you looking at?' Shen Wei's voice is startling Zhao YunLan, bringing him back from the dreamland.

'Ah...No...I just afraid that your forehead is hurt badly...Are you alright?' Zhao YunLan asked as his hand touch Shen Wei's forehead unknowingly.

'Ge...Zhao YunLan...What are you doing there?'

Shen YeZun's voice echoed, making Zhao YunLan realize what he is about to do.  The man turns his face to see Shen YeZun who stands along with Chu ShuZhi.

'Ah...Professor Shen...' Zhao YunLan greeted the man who stands in confusion, 'Umm, I...Uh...I...' Zhao YunLan out of words.

'Someone is daydreaming and cut Mother's tree flat...' Shen Wei replied while standing up, cleaning his suit from the dust.

Shen YeZun and Chu ShuZhi lift their eyes and look at the poor tree. Indeed, the pretty shaped cypress is now flat.

'Okay...' Shen YeZun said, 'But I don't see the reason why both of you end up rolling on the ground...' He said confusedly.

'I remind him about the tree and instead of thanking me, he jumps on me...' Shen Wei replied.

'Excuse me...Who is jumped on you?' Zhao YunLan refuses to give in.

'Then can you explain why you are on top of me?' Shen Wei asked.

'That is because I'm falling to you!' Zhao YunLan retorted but his voice is loud enough to be heard anywhere and make anyone who heard it amazed.

Shen Wei sighs, 'After you jumped me then you confess to me...Zhao YunLan, you are so bold...' Shen Wei said and walks away, leaving the dumbfounded man. Chu ShuZhi only lifts his forehead, rolls his eyes, and follows Shen Wei.

'Huh!?' Zhao YunLan stupefied.

Shen YeZun gaps look at his brother and Zhao YunLan in turns, 'Zhao YunLan...You are falling to my brother?' Shen YeZun asked the stunned man.

'What...What...!?' Zhao YunLan just realized his stupidity.

'Geez...I don't know that you that such of person...' Shen YeZun shakes his head and walks away.

'Wait! Professor Shen! It's not like that!' Zhao YunLan lost his words.

Zhao YunLan turns his head to his friends just to find they are stunned in their place and slowly lifts their thumbs as if supporting him. Zhao YunLan clenches his eyes in an upset, look at the flat cypress, scratching his hair as he doesn't know what to do.

'So...What happens to the cypress?' Shen YongZheng asked while Zhao YunLan and Sang Zan lowers their head.

Called into the General's office soon after Shen MeiHua notice there is something wrong with her favorite tree, Zhao YunLan is ready for the worst.

'It's all my fault, Sir...' Zhao YunLan replied.

'That is my wife's favorite tree...The price is quite expensive...' The General said, 'Then Zhao YunLan...How can you compensate for the tree?' He asked.

'Umm...Honestly, I don't have that much money, Sir...' Zhao YunLan replied, 'You can cut my payment every month if you are willing...'

'Cut your monthly payment...I'm afraid it will not that sufficient...' Shen YongZheng replied, 'Your payment as a gardener...Even you work without taking your payment, you have to work for three years just to compensate for the tree...'

Zhao YunLan lowering his gaze knows that this old man is trying to push the SID's leader position to him no matter how but his decision is not that easy to shake off, 'Then...I will work for three years without payment, Sir...' He replied.

'He is very stubborn...' Shen MeiHua said soon after Zhao YunLan left, 'Husband...Do you think that we are not too cruel?' She asked, 'The tree will be alright in a few months anyway...'

'I need that young man to sit in that position...' Shen YongZheng replied, 'I will think another way to persuade him...'

'General Shen don't need to worry...' Gwang Li sipping her tea, 'No matter how strong, he can't evade the destiny...He will come to you sooner than you expect...'

The aphelion...In astronomy means the furthest point in the orbit of an object from the sun. However, the object can't escape the sun's gravity as no matter how far, the object will always rotate around the sun...

No matter how far...You can't evade your destiny calls...
