男人冷漠的身影從車裡下來，純白的襯衫和黑色的褲子此刻顯得格外冷硬。260Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeZjk6My1Zo
260Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6Cg0BnkJh2
「乖兒子！」婦人上前迎接，一臉高興，「我可終於盼到你回來了。」260Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7hMa6EDBE2
260Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbBm2gzdaUP
他冷著一張臉，微微頷首示意。260Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUXiMEh62O8
260Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5SZinC2yiA
婦人朝後頭站在車旁另一個略胖的男人親切地說，「蔡先生也一起進來吧！這大除夕的，就不要自己一個吃飯了。」260Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMe0BNZo0BR
260Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNlLWzAg2Jq
「不用不用！李夫人您太客氣了。」男人乾笑著擺手，「我待會兒就開車回老家，後天再回來接阿凡。」260Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx7OgJ8W1BG
260Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV5yZLvhrMu
「這樣。」婦人一臉可惜，但沒挽留，「那好，預祝你新年快樂啊！路上小心！」260Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB0u6SeUIW0
260Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKwhhJEM0H7
「謝謝李夫人！你們也是！」男人趕忙告別，「阿凡我先走了，後天再見！」260Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHHjOKh715M
260Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2SKAIy1uLq
然後閃身躲進車裡。260Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6iUG3SGcQr
260Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu0GUENH7kw
冷淡的男人無甚表情，轉身走進屋裡，婦人也趕快跟上。260Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG1UeNq9gwz
260Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYDjomnxWme
兩人經過客廳，往飯廳走時，婦人小心翼翼地問，「那個⋯⋯小林沒跟你一起回來嗎？」260Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXjedv2xINX
260Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN4ZDMxOpAN
「回自己家了。」260Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx5UDwgd8an
260Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkHqlAGzwn1
「啊⋯⋯這樣。」婦人放鬆了點神情，「待會兒你爸有件事跟你商量⋯⋯不是甚麼大事，就是⋯⋯反正你先聽聽，別太緊張，也別跟你爸慪氣。」260Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL02AwJVy8T
260Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjkwtYMnBnS
他沒有答話。260Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSkRzCsN0cg
260Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl4YmNPTtsM
飯廳裡另一個中年男人已經就坐，神情嚴肅。260Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXzQelPLtrB
260Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMTcDb4GElP
男人淡漠地頷首打招呼。260Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIqdNnNdqO5
260Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuSXbMAZIDq
「嗯。」中年男人沉著臉應了一聲，「坐吧。」260Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHZ2ywIRJdm
260Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcgQonDAC38
傭人把菜都上齊後退了出去，三人默然開動，餐桌上只剩零星碗筷碰撞的聲音。260Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFGHzayYXrk
260Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFY3WnMxi2C
吃了一半，中年男人放下了筷子，向著年輕男人說，「給你跟林家的外孫女安排了見面，記得把時間空下。」260Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡplYR0cAB2E
260Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOCS9Z2za8K
年輕男人看了自家母親一眼，想到她剛才的囑咐，壓下想說的話，隨意嗯了一聲。260Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzv9Umj8Dje
260Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlwhRK2AUwB
「打算甚麼時候回去西班牙？」260Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKD2kNmWRAZ
260Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhD6eYctX8c
年輕男人邊吃邊冷淡地說，「沒有計畫。」260Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4djTwuYKvv
260Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRfK3lvTil1
中年男人眉頭深鎖，「甚麼？」260Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkLpnoVgE1m
260Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJKXIgcLGng
「我會繼續留在國內踢足球。」260Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRJO4wFM67B
260Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqJClyY9r5S
「你是說這個賽季之後，你還要繼續留在新鳴？」260Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTMUwc4tIUD
260Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVc85HhgNDx
「對。」260Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpi2HJRdD3q
260Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5vvAOsQQMz
「所以，」中年男人的語氣都變了，「你要繼續踢乙級？」260Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8TEPcAdW7T
260Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk9x5fBkIut
「贏了冠軍，就會去A隊踢甲級。」260Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeQPQH8q66m
260Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOgIKb2YKfV
「現在問題是這個嗎？」中年男人厲聲說道，「這裡的A隊跟西班牙的A隊能一樣嗎！你是不是燒壞了腦子！」260Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ1HSTvN99e
260Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUUVCDfk7Be
「老公別激動⋯⋯我們說好跟孩子心平氣和地說的⋯⋯」婦人焦心地在旁邊勸說。260Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuwaHNqS4Y0
260Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM5dRH3sUPi
中年男人不管妻子的勸說，大怒拍桌，「李與凡你給我清醒一點！我花這麼多心力栽培你踢足球，就是為了讓你在這種三流球隊踢這種不入流的比賽嗎？！」260Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvAb9irIHP7
260Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX2XSi4Ae64
李與凡依舊冷漠，緩緩放下了筷子，抬頭看向自己的父親，「我很清楚自己在做甚麼。」260Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwDWWzEUTJP
260Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRCsANAFlGD
李父怒然看著他，胸口起伏。260Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHkPIUnDHUY
260Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSRz9LGo21w
李與凡目光深深，面容不變。260Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkpNpS0Nd9u
260Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuzukA17TyB
「我會證明，我今天得到的一切，都不是靠誰給的。」260Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0h1FzqlMHZ

260Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBPRK7NrtZx
另一邊廂，林家四合院老宅外。260Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxIE1llkW4X
260Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbDCAqqzSVb
從南翠球場開車趕回來的林經陽，在大宅門口跟自己的父母會合。260Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnPCOG8C3eB
260Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ0t4fyrker
他母親趕忙抓著他的手臂，「怎麼樣？有沒有請周總一起來過年？」260Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1j4GF6WKPF
260Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWCHxHpwQbG
林經陽無奈，怎麼自家母親第一件事是關心周諾寧，「沒有。」260Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLhSYTBCNzz
260Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYcJmKW0sIN
「這樣⋯⋯」林母擔憂地說，「你表妹出了那樣的醜事，聽說本家是不想我們回來的⋯⋯本來想說如果能把周總請來⋯⋯唉，也不知道他們是怎麼個態度⋯⋯」260Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbcHzISy0vB
260Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzob94mNSSD
「沒事。」林經陽安撫，「反正總歸得有人代表回來露個臉，我們低調一點就好，老人家們應該不會說甚麼的。」260Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1bo6W6ozHE
260Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9FEBVRYY3t
林父點點頭，「今年說是統一去正院問安，待會兒你自己進去打個招呼吧，我跟你媽在偏院待著。」260Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQvyJv8WNeG
260Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5EaBh4Zkyq
「嗯，我知道了。」260Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBSJgOsWBi9
260Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1pvdhxmWYi
穿過四合院的廣亮大門，迎接的傭人一個帶著林氏夫婦前去偏院，另一個則帶著林經陽到了正院，停在中堂的門邊請他進去。260Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUvUAM0Jnpr
260Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOyzOKDuN5d
林經陽頓下腳步，看了裡面熟悉又遙遠的建築一圈，才緩慢地跨過門檻，進入屬於主人之家的中堂。260Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaZkGC4DnYd
260Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN5OpXAvEyK
他走到中央的八仙桌，依次給坐在兩旁的長輩一一問好，幾位老人家都很有默契地沒有多提他表妹的事。260Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgEB4L2wZMD
260Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaCmHoNOrEg
例行公事辦妥後，他便打算回去偏院找他父母，回頭就看到剛跨進門檻的熟悉身影。260Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWVICQ25iTK
260Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡckrcnHBd7a
林經陽上前朝男人笑著打招呼，「好久不見。」260Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJS7p5NKAQh
260Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoAL98AJlTP
「嗯。」男人慵懶地插著口袋，「你父母呢？」260Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2GwW2wGwRb
260Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQME8bhiA3Y
「在偏院，我也正打算過去找他們。」260Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFcpTOjM95a
260Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs4eahZf5Pf
「請他們也過來吧，今年整個家族都在正院吃飯。」260Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡncsoDxxz0F
260Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBaD3GsVzwP
林經陽略為驚訝，「我以為⋯⋯只是讓我們進來打個招呼。」260Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcqyd974KRm
260Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYVCmsapsgj
男人扯著唇，「那些不合時宜的規條，也該是時候廢掉了。」260Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmFSEhTBayY
260Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡex9sOviD8Z
林家的正統血緣是百年貴冑，歷史僅次於皇族之後的上官家，所以很多傳統守舊的規條一直流傳至今，例如林經陽這些旁支出身的族人，以前是絕對沒法踏進中堂半步的。260Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVaUFAdgrXW
260Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡonOQvTHET0
不過去年林家新任掌陀人上場後，好些舊規矩就被逐一廢除。260Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6RCUHsJYEB
260Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkXdIz5QyPl
林經陽笑了笑，看向不遠處正在和小孩子打鬧的年輕女孩，「看來你家裡那位對你影響蠻大的。」260Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj8d5L7iRAW
260Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9WfhtNuDCO
男人勾了勾唇，不置可否，唯獨落了女孩身影的眼神裡，多了一層冷硬中的柔和。260Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfBW8KuGzaB
260Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWgFZSX4Xc2
林經陽看了看四周，「你妹妹呢？還在國外嗎？」260Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiPDzO6HHlN
260Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡINFnjDWI33
「嗯。大概是在西班牙太快活吧，說是作業趕不上不能回來，等到年末的時候再看看。」男人神情鬆弛，「反正她被關在這裡太久，也需要多點自由，就任由我爸媽嘮叨去了。」260Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3ZiQ3taRzG
260Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIpCIYZLsTs
林經陽失笑，很明白他說的意思，「看這樣子，再過幾年，你父母該給她安排婚事了。」260Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbasCc67d1X
260Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk90HQF7W5D
「就是啊⋯⋯」男人若有所思，想到那條他還沒能改變的規條，「父母之命，媒妁之言⋯⋯看似天經地義，但誰又真的那麼幸運，能被安排遇上那個最適合的人選。」260Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZTIue1SBMU
260Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU9hhzGf5nZ
林經陽笑著抬頭看天，頭一次有些慶幸自己是出身自旁支，「看來出身正統，也未必永遠都是好事。」260Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpv5vPmwd3j
260Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPn8mrBJlbm
他家的公司是服裝界的龍頭企業，以前同學總把他當成小太子爺，百般討好奉承，令他總有種優越感，自認出身不錯，足以讓人稱羨。260Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0dStNaS8oV
260Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdth16t4zYD
可是當他母親總抓著他切切教誨，叮囑他一定要努力學習，拼命發奮圖強，絕不能讓林家那群人瞧不起他時，他慢慢搞不懂他爸媽到底還有甚麼不滿足。260Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJRhQlV0JfU
260Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeH1T2rVYCo
當他漸漸長大，學會觀言察色，才赫然發現在他名字裡的「林」，跟別家小孩的那個「林」，原來還可以如此差天共地。260Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSfcfmv66Fm
260Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2aLCXDyJXn
百年家族林氏，身為四大貴族之一，有座寬大的四合院大宅，代表著林氏悠久且堅毅不屈的歷史，是整個家族的根基和象徵。260Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOs1bHt21vg
260Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSxr7CyUY5a
能在裡面生活、奔跑、長大，是一種身分的肯定，而繼承它的人就有如擁有天下。260Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxF2UGLxyfN
260Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqvqwNjZ8Sf
可裡面天地再大，卻永遠都不會有屬於他和他家人的位置，他們只是這遼闊庭院裡，可有可無的青草綠葉。260Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMj5KL1Edj2
260Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKgLz7rJIS0
他們必須要存在，卻又要像不存在那樣謹言慎行。260Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡryFNRoOpj2
260Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeBXnE61pH5
從那時林經陽才明白，原來他們沒有的東西，還有這麼多。260Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEYFHdRSFaH
260Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4I6ziUViUl
真正令人稱羨，擁有一切光環的，是站在祭壇最前一列，牽著太老爺的手，在眾人的目光之中上前拜祭的一人。260Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVRDvFjSMBj
260Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuLaKJZjgou
而那人，就是面前這個與他年紀相仿，卻已經是林氏現任當家的天之驕子，林景軒。260Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpMo4WRHgeP
260Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVPABlGzQTq
「是嗎？」林景軒挑眉回視過去，「那你擁有身為旁支的自由，讓你選擇到了你想要的人了嗎？」260Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCdvnQPiItV
260Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiZW5G1IC19
林經陽遙望遠方，神情意味深長，「選⋯⋯當然能選了。」而後又笑著自嘲，「只是⋯⋯那個選擇並沒有選擇我而已。」260Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnaaMyPOfib
260Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmear9uTEZr
林景軒勾唇，「看來周家大小姐眼高於天的傳聞，倒也不假。」260Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj5b6Cifezk
260Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGCU0g3SY6Q
「眼高於天嗎⋯⋯」林經陽輕笑了聲，曾經也以為是自己配不上她，「或許只是她心裡面，本身就沒有所謂的標準。」260Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqRtyNd1DCI
260Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjxmOnMIy1u
林經陽很確定，即使過去一年荊棘滿途，歷經許多不必要的跌宕起伏，此刻的周諾寧，正在度過她人生中最快樂的春節。260Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEAyDaiY7MY
