#Cautious and avoidant cross-border lawyer, female × gentle, straight-ball, high-attack, high-defense, German shipping old money, male.
#One year difference: under the year.
At a party in London, Chen Guanlan took a fancy to Moritz across half the living room.
He is 1.9 Meters tall, with blond hair and green eyes, broad shoulders and long legs. He is lowering his head to listen to what others are saying. She looked at it for two more seconds, and then he suddenly raised his eyes and looked back accurately across the crowded crowd.
No one looked away.
Later, the music was too loud, so he leaned over to listen to her talk, his chest almost close to her shoulder; someone squeezed past her from behind, and his hand was on the back of her waist, without actually touching it, but it was enough for her to clearly feel the temperature in his palm.
Chen Guanlan raised his head and asked him: "Does wealth mean freedom?"
He smiled and said: "Wealth attached to the will of the family does not count."
She learned about trusts and he made investments. One studies how rights are divided, and the other studies how risks are priced.
Go to the library during the day and squeeze into the underground club at night. The drum beat was deafening, and she tiptoed close to his ear; he looked down at her, his eyes gentle, but his body always maintained a dangerous distance.
Until Moritz confessed:
"I want to have a romantic relationship with you."
Chen Guanlan walked away on the spot.
She liked him, but she saw the ending earlier: "Let's just be friends."
Later, the two parted silently and returned to their respective countries.
Two years later, Shenzhen.
She became a cross-border lawyer and he became a project co-investor.
After the meeting, Moritz leaned closer:
"Lawyer Chen, I will appeal the verdict of that year."
——She sentenced the relationship to death first, and he insisted on appealing.
Intention: True freedom is not to leave forever, but to choose who to go with without losing yourself.
