THE MANDELLA EFFECTS

'Escape!?' Da Qing can't believe his ears. 'But how can he escape?' He keeps asking, ignoring the sick Zhao YunLan that sank at the sofa as soon as he reached SID's headquarters while Shen Wei opens his suit and rolls his sleeves.

'He has wings and could fly, of course, he can escape...' Zhao YunLan replied, holding every pain sensation in his head.

'But Director Shen...You can fight the creature in the sky last time...Why can't you chase him?' Da Qing asked.

'Leap to the sky and fly are two different things...' Shen Wei answered as he checks on Zhao YunLan.

'What the difference?'

'Deputy...Can you ask that question later?' Wang Zheng reminded the unsympathetic Yashou.

'True...Chief Zhao's condition is still so awful...' Guo ChangCheng added in full concern.

'The most important is Professor Shen is saved presently...' Sang Zan said.

'Zhao YunLan...You should not put up a strong face if you are not strong enough...' Zhu Hong strides towards the helpless guy with an ice pack.

She almost put the ice on Zhao YunLan's forehead carelessly when Shen Wei catches it promptly before the ice pack touched Zhao YunLan's head. 'He doesn't put up a strong face...' Shen Wei said, put aside the ice pack. 'The journey through the wormhole is not easy...As a HaiXing man, he is already so strong...' He proceeds as he lifts Zhao YunLan's neck softly and puts a cushion under the neck. 'Are you alright?' He asked.

'I'm alright...I just need some rest...' Zhao YunLan said, can't think about anything else as his head is in a total mess.

Shen Wei takes the ice pack and puts it in Zhao YunLan's head softly, 'Take your time...'

'What do you mean by the journey is not easy?' Da Qing scratched his cheek as he looks at Lin Jing.

'Deputy...The wormhole is true could bend time and space by connecting black hole and white hole but actually, it's not a good passageway...' Lin Jing said.

'White hole?' Da Qing frowned.

'The mirror image of the black hole...' Lin Jing explained.

'Why?' Zhu Hong asked curiously.

'Because of the strong gravitation of the two holes, the tunnel that connects them will be collapse faster than anything that could pass it...The only matter that can pass through the wormhole is just light...So, they should move as fast as the light or even faster to be able to come through the wormhole...'

'Faster than light!?' All of them asked in unison, startling the almost sleeping Zhao YunLan which makes Shen Wei glances at Chu ShuZhi.

All of them close their mouth soon after they realize an intense stare from the scary Chu ShuZhi, glance at the angry Shen Wei who then turns around and check on Zhao YunLan.

'Since when do they both become so close?' Zhu Hong whispered, 'Here I think they have opposite personalities to each other...'

'You right, Director Shen is usually very cold but somehow his attitude is different with our Chief...' Wang Zheng added.

'Deputy...I hate to admit but all I know is they never match each other before...They were always argued in the past...' Lin Jing added. 'Do you know what happened to them?' He asked Da Qing.

'Well, that's...' Da Qing can't even reply to that question.

'Chief Zhao confessed to Director Shen once...' Guo ChangCheng said in a stupid honesty.

'WHAT!?'

Lin Jing, Zhu Hong, and Wang Zheng shouted together. The others are quickly giving signs to keep silent but too late as Chu ShuZhi now glares at them irritatedly, making them cringe to the point of running away from the place.

'Wait...Wait...Wait!' Lin Jing said soon after he reaches his chair in the laboratory room, 'Guo ChangCheng, are you serious!?'

Guo ChangCheng nods generously, 'You can ask Sang Ge...' He said.

'Sang Zan...' Wang Zheng asked.

'That happened when Director Shen saved him when he fell...' Sang Zan said.

'Goodness...So that is why...' Zhu Hong muttered.

'What?' Wang Zheng asked.

'Zhao YunLan was never serious about ladies he dates...Turns out he is not into woman...'

'Aiyoo...' Da Qing cuts the conjecture, 'That is not like that at all...'

'Deputy...Do you know what happens?' Lin Jing asked.

'Zhao YunLan is someone reckless, Director Shen is the most serious man on this entire planet...Zhao YunLan has just said something arbitrarily but Director Shen took it seriously...That what happens...' Da Qing explained.

'Even Sang Zan and Xiao Guo believe that was a real confession, could imagine what Director Shen assumed...' Wang Zheng shook her head.

'Does Director Shen give him the reply?' Lin Jing asked.

'No, he doesn't...' Da Qing answered, 'But you know that Director Shen hates philanders...'

'So, you want to say that even though there is no relationship between them...Chief Zhao is tied up even tighter than a married woman...' Lin Jing concludes the discussion.

'True...' Da Qing replied, 'That was why I wish him good luck...' Now, everyone gaps as they comprehend the situation.

'Umm...May I'm asking?' Guo ChangCheng lifts his right hand.

'What?' Everyone looks at him.

'Why do we call Chief Shen with Director Shen now?' Guo ChangCheng asked awkwardly.

'That because there is SID under XingDu Bureau presently...To give former Chief a respect as he deserves, we call him Director...' Suddenly, Chu ShuZhi showed up out of nowhere. 'If you finished with the gossip all of you can back to your post!' He speaks in a low but stern voice, makes everybody run outside while Lin Jing grabs some papers and pretends to read.

It's nightfall when Zhao YunLan finally opens his eyes, slowly lifts his sluggish body, and messaging his neck.

'You awake?' Suddenly a familiar voice was heard.

'Ah, Chief Shen...You are not going home yet?' Zhao YunLan asked.

Shen Wei is not replying, pats Zhao YunLan's head softly. 'How's your head?' He asked.

'It's much better now...' Zhao YunLan was startled by the pat but he didn't react too much, 'Where is the other?' He asked as he can't find his subordinates.

'Sleep...It's almost midnight already...' Shen Wei said while sitting beside Zhao YunLan, putting down a bowl of porridge.

'I sleep that long?' Zhao YunLan rubbed his face.

'Your body is exerted...That is not strange...' Shen Wei said as he passes the bowl, 'You don't eat anything since noon...You must be hungry...'

'Thank you...' Zhao YunLan received the bowl and start to eat the porridge. 'How's YeZun?' Zhao YunLan asked soon after he finished eating.

'He is alright...' Shen Wei replied, 'My mother is with him...What happens?' He asked when he saw Zhao YunLan messaging his neck.

'My neck is hurt...'

Shen Wei touch the neck softly, 'It's strained...' He says, 'Turn around! Let me help you...'

'Huh?'

'If the strain is not fixed now, it will be troublesome...'

'Ah...Alright...'

Zhao YunLan turns his body, that is the time when the hungry Lin Jing strides to the pantry to find something to eat. Sees Zhao YunLan and Shen Wei alone in the dark living room, Lin Jing stops his steps and hide behind the dark shade.

'Zhao YunLan...Your clothes are in the way...' Shen Wei said as he takes a box.

Lin Jing frowns as he heard the conversation. He can't see everything clearly, just little things with the help of dim light.

'Lin Jing Ge...What are you doing?' Guo ChangCheng who just returned from the bathroom asked.

'Shhh!' Lin Jing frantically pulls the young man and points to the hall.

Guo ChangCheng tilts his head, 'Lin Jing Ge...Why does Chief Zhao open his clothes?' He asked when he saw Zhao YunLan open his trenchcoat.

'What did he do now?' Lin Jing asked as he keeps hiding.

'Lay down on the sofa...' Guo ChangCheng replied.

Lin Jing clenched shut his eyes when he heard it, regretted his hungry stomach. Collecting his courage, Lin Jing peeks at the dark hall. His eyes widen when he sees Shen Wei take a ceramic bottle and pour the liquid into his palm.

'Lin Jing Ge...What are they doing?' Guo ChangCheng asked.

Lin Jing not answering just pulls the young man, 'Xiao Guo...What happens next is not something we can see...' He said, gulping.

'Hey...What kind of cat business you've been doing in the dark alley!?' Da Qing's voice is heard quite loud, making Lin Jing and Guo ChangCheng pull the man and gesture to keep quiet.

Shen Wei smears the oil on Zhao YunLan's shoulder and slowly messaging the man with his two hands.

'Aaahh...That spot is great...' The moan escaped from Zhao YunLan's mouth, making the three who hide in the dark halt as they heard him. 'Do you need to put more oil?' Zhao YunLan asked as he feels Shen Wei pours some oil in his back.

'This part is rather dry...If I don't put enough lubricant, my movement will be stuck...' Shen Wei replied, stating the matter of fact but of course, it could be interpreted differently by those who don't see the real situation.

Lin Jing and Da Qing's eyes are widening. 'Are they seriously!?' Da Qing was astonished.

'Shhh...' Lin Jing warned the Yashou.

'Argh...' Zhao YunLan suddenly shouted, startling the three who listening in the shadow.

'Sorry, is that hurt?'

'A little...'

'I'll be gentle...' Shen Wei lessens the force he uses on the acupressure.

Now, Lin Jing and Da Qing are dumbfounded. Realizing that they can't stay, Lin Jing gestures to his two friends to leave the place.

'I don't believe it...' Da Qing says soon after they sit together in the laboratory room, 'That Zhao YunLan is very submissive...How can he let someone top him without putting any resistance?'

'Deputy...How can someone resist Director Shen? Besides, no matter how Chief Zhao wants to resist...There is no way someone with Director Shen's character will let someone top him...' Lin Jing scratched his head.

'So that's how it is...' Da Qing sighs heavily, 'After tonight, Zhao YunLan is officially a married woman...' Da Qing proceeds as he shakes his head.

'A married woman...' Guo ChangCheng repeated confusedly but then his eyes are widening, 'Aaahhh...Don't tell me that Director Shen and Chief Shen are...' He can't even finish his words.

'Hey, Xiao Guo...Where have you been?' Da Qing asked lazily while Lin Jing only can shake his head.

After some time, Shen Wei finished with his massage. Zhao YunLan lifts his body and bends his neck, making sounds like cracking bone many times.

'Feel better?' Shen Wei asked.

'Yes...Yes...Thank you...' Zhao YunLan replied, then looks at the man who tidy up the medication. 'It's late already...Why don't you use my room and take a rest?' He asked.

'If I use your room then where will you go to sleep?' Shen Wei asked.

'I can sleep on the sofa...' Zhao YunLan replied, 'My body is too sluggish to go upstairs...' He said as he plunges his body back to the sofa.

'Zhao YunLan...Put your clothes before you sleep...' Shen Wei reminded the careless man who had already closed his eyes, 'Zhao YunLan...Zhao YunLan...' He calls out again but the man fell asleep. Sigh, Shen Wei takes Zhao YunLan's trench coat and covers the man. 'You'll catch a cold if you sleep like this...' He muttered.

The following morning, everyone is already on their post. Lin Jing is currently helping Zhu Hong to manage the computer when the door is knocked. Guo ChangCheng rushes to the door and opens it, 'Chu Ge...' He frowned.

'Hmm...' Chu ShuZhi replied curtly and walks inside the hall. Sees Chu ShuZhi come in the early morning, almost everybody frowns.

'Ah, Lao Chu...' Zhao YunLan appeared out of nowhere.

'Chief Zhao...' The man nodded, 'I bring the new suit for Director Shen...' Chu ShuZhi lifts the suit pack.

'What!?' Zhu Hong surprised, 'Director Shen stay over?'

'But where was he sleeps in?' Wang Zheng asked, 'No room available last night...'

'He sleeps in my room...' Zhao YunLan said, shocking everyone, 'Lao Chu, just go upstairs...He is in the bathroom now...' He proceeds calmly.

'Excuse me...' Chu ShuZhi said then climbs the stairs.

'Where is the breakfast?' Zhao YunLan asked as he sits on the sofa but no one responds to him. Zhao YunLan turns around only to find everyone staring at him oddly, 'What happens?' He asked confusedly.

'Aahh...Nothing...Nothing...' Lin Jing tried to mend the awkwardness, 'Boss...We don't have a caretaker so Xiao Guo must buy the breakfast outside...' He glances at Guo ChangCheng, gives the young man a code to go out.

'Ahhh...Yes...Yes...' Guo ChangCheng rushed.

Zhao YunLan clicking his tongue, sighs softly. 'You right...We should find a caretaker...' He replied.

Shen Wei steps downstairs along with Chu ShuZhi when everybody gathered around the huge table for breakfast, 'Ahh, Chief Shen...Before you go back why don't have breakfast with us?' Zhao YunLan offers, 'We already prepare them for both of you...'

'Alright...' Shen Wei said.

Shen Wei just walks into the table when every member of SID stands up and move to sit closer to each other, leaving a vast space around Zhao YunLan makes both Zhao YunLan and Shen Wei look at them in puzzlement.

'Director Shen, please, sit down...' Da Qing gestured.

'What's the matter with all of you?' Zhao YunLan asked.

'Nothing at all...' Guo ChangCheng replied, 'The spot beside you belongs to Director Shen, Chief...' He proceeds.

'Xiao Guo means the higher up should sit together...' Zhu Hong explained.

Chu ShuZhi pulls the chair for Shen Wei when Zhao YunLan suddenly sneezes, 'I told you to put your clothes on last night but you were not even listening...' Shen Wei said.

'I was too tired to do that...' Zhao YunLan replied, lifting his eyes as he realize that the table is so quiet only to find the stunned faces of his subordinates. However, they rush to pretend to chit-chat at each other soon after Zhao YunLan looks at them.

Not long after, Shen Wei's phone is ringing. 'Zhao YunLan...Zhao MingAn regains his consciousness...' Shen Wei said after putting down his phone.

'Great!' Zhao YunLan smiles widely.

'I'll go to the hospital...' Shen Wei said.

'I'll go with you!' Zhao YunLan stands abruptly and strained his just-healed back, making him grimace in pain.

'Be careful would you?' Shen Wei helped the man to stretch his back.

'Chief, are you alright?' Sang Zan asked in deep concern.

'I'm alright...I'm alright...Just finish your breakfast...' Zhao YunLan said as he walks outside, leaving his stupefied subordinates.

'So...They did it already?' Zhu Hong muttered.

'Isn't it obvious?' Lin Jing replied.

'Director Shen already keeps him close because of the confession...' Wang Zheng says, 'Then...What will happen after this?' She asked.

'Zhao YunLan already lose all his path to escape...' Da Qing answered as he sighs.

'Is that mean...Chief Zhao is equally married?' Sang Zan asked.

'I'm afraid...It will be even worse...' Guo ChangCheng said.

All of them glance at each other but then proceeds with their food.
