When they were young, Xu Weizhen and Shen Xingjian were the envy of everyone in the law school.
He was sober and calm, and she was persistent and bright. They both believed that the law should be a sword in a sheath, able to uphold ideals in reality.
The good things in the world are not strong, the glass is fragile and the colorful clouds scatter. If the heavy hammer of reality hits you, in the end, you will just end up breaking up after graduation.
Ten years later, he has become the most trusted "problem solver" in the capital and power system, wearing a suit and leather tie, and walking calmly.
And she is still in the muddy reality, running for one impossible case after another, her old coat is stuffed with files, and her eyes are filled with a look of tiredness that cannot be washed away.
Until the largest medical dispute case in G city broke out
He made the rules in the cloud conference room, and she looked for evidence in the streets.
Fate made them meet at the corner of the city library. The materials fell to the ground. When she picked them up, she saw him holding a water glass with a surprised look on his face.
"Shen Xingjian?" His voice was as steady as reading a contract, but there was a hint of pause that only she could hear.
She tightened her fingers, as if touching the lingering warmth of an old dream: "Lawyer Xu, what a coincidence."
Library romance? He handed over the pills and she looked away, but her fingertips revealed a tremor.
No, let's meet at the negotiating table. He held the agreement and attacked fiercely, while she clutched the information and stalked;
He defends large systems, she speaks for small individuals. They seem to be running in opposite directions, but they are brought back to the original battlefield by the same case and the same obsession.
It's just that now they stand on opposite ends of the rules, with ten years in between.
And countless lives like today that cannot be easily solved.
Why did it get to where it is now?
Because we are often despairing of all our thoughts, and they are often revived.
Shen Xingjianan looked at his face that was red with alcohol for a long time, and sighed while being drunk, "Actually, I have always wanted to contact you, but I have not lived a decent life these years."
"Decent?" Hearing these words, he felt hot all over his body, so he raised his hand and slowly unbuttoned his suit, revealing an oxidized and darkened commemorative badge for the "Cross Era" album inside, which was given to her when she was in college.
"Shen Xingjian, tell me—" He casually took off his suit jacket and stood in front of her, finally showing a hint of sharpness and truth that broke through the barriers.
"Which one of us is more decent?"
