然後,她就十萬火急發了那條訊息。17Please respect copyright.PENANAnmEhdSz81Q
17Please respect copyright.PENANArVb3BD7e4r
向菱看著手機螢幕上那個孤單的對話框框,已經等了快兩分鐘。17Please respect copyright.PENANAqkyHuczptQ
17Please respect copyright.PENANAwrAAyRsWsV
一個新訊息倏地彈了出來。17Please respect copyright.PENANAzMjWLXtx7j
17Please respect copyright.PENANAzznDbqm15V
祁:「?」17Please respect copyright.PENANAuGymAia1O9
17Please respect copyright.PENANA0uGXUQKJcU
……只有一個問號。17Please respect copyright.PENANAkISqwj4byp
17Please respect copyright.PENANARrHnbwwJty
向菱從稍遠處拍了一張秦井和鄭娟並排的背影,發過去。17Please respect copyright.PENANA0cqBdG9g9e
17Please respect copyright.PENANAgLUASUt0TA
她透過鍵盤敲字:「這個男的快變成我繼父了。」17Please respect copyright.PENANAn3tYAh8nEN
17Please respect copyright.PENANAPU7XeyGNF0
——祁澈和她父親向里的關係,據她所知很深。17Please respect copyright.PENANAGgye5wXJCE
17Please respect copyright.PENANAwijl9Ug5NW
現在秦井的事,和向老醫算是有些關聯,那跟祁澈也多少有關。17Please respect copyright.PENANAgPiNP8LiTm
17Please respect copyright.PENANArOzSJ5FjrG
和向老醫有關的事,他不可能置之不理吧。17Please respect copyright.PENANAzv9wajTrU9
17Please respect copyright.PENANA1QwuMmga5i
她回想起年代久遠的往事。17Please respect copyright.PENANAMIHn77Q6Lh
17Please respect copyright.PENANAAiLTaFMFSO
向老醫和許多病童的關係都極為深刻。甚至連他生前那間中醫診所,都常常讓生病的孩子寄住,以方便照顧。17Please respect copyright.PENANAYsgvQOPZas
17Please respect copyright.PENANAP8dgUssFUk
印象中的向里熱愛自己的職業,是天生的中醫師。17Please respect copyright.PENANACEQhBn2H8m
17Please respect copyright.PENANAoRiCLCtMzC
她想起來了,很多年前,遠洋視訊的日常談話裡,向里和她多次提過一個高燒的孩子。17Please respect copyright.PENANA70QMdMQ5Jl
17Please respect copyright.PENANABRqyPSEeuG
多年過去,向菱的記憶依然很深刻。
17Please respect copyright.PENANAlQFjVOt5tu
父親話中的那個孩子應該就是祁澈。
17Please respect copyright.PENANAQHajSHjSj7
他說他從街角撿回來一個脾氣特別倔的孩子,特愛逞強還有攻擊性,明明病得厲害卻死活不肯讓醫生碰一下。17Please respect copyright.PENANAinVmhvIf6w
17Please respect copyright.PENANABF55Dx5Da5
據向里說那個孩子聰明到學會作弊,把體溫計泡進溫水裡來偽裝自己沒發燒。17Please respect copyright.PENANAW8hCaGBgSs
17Please respect copyright.PENANA5fhhG7434Y
……簡直瞞天過海。17Please respect copyright.PENANAWkJy9dgmgF
17Please respect copyright.PENANAJw56tMnQ3P
?17Please respect copyright.PENANA9632I6Tkdy
17Please respect copyright.PENANAz9DLtjBw75
當時父親說得很生動,她想得出神,忍不住彎了彎唇角。17Please respect copyright.PENANA0eCDtfTRZv
17Please respect copyright.PENANA1CzP6JyQmD
手機螢幕亮了一下,向菱點開查看。17Please respect copyright.PENANAJNYaAId5Pa
17Please respect copyright.PENANAng7kyLZsq8
祁:「你怎麼辦?」17Please respect copyright.PENANAm2rsZdwFWj
17Please respect copyright.PENANAxacp6yLEkD
……17Please respect copyright.PENANAGVAyA4VvlA
17Please respect copyright.PENANATKttNDeLfb
我說我想揍他你能辦到嗎。17Please respect copyright.PENANAdsxxC04OhQ
17Please respect copyright.PENANA04xKoLg3Ut
向菱:「能怎麼辦,就挺緊急的。」17Please respect copyright.PENANAqID9Jl0ni2
17Please respect copyright.PENANAy0MWupVddE
她一開始那則訊息問,他會打架對吧,目的不在於要拜託他什麼,就是告知他,秦井即將成為她的繼父。17Please respect copyright.PENANAXGw7aCKi2Y
17Please respect copyright.PENANAP48IQzg29m
向菱有個想法。17Please respect copyright.PENANAfz06JuNXiV
17Please respect copyright.PENANABMwMP9I8hJ
如果之後鄭娟再婚,她想給父親向里一個交代。17Please respect copyright.PENANAS0F4RErtsK
17Please respect copyright.PENANAYh5pCWj9Sg
她問過這裡的村人很多遍,聽說幾年前南雨鎮一場海嘯,房舍損壞,居民失蹤,部分當地人匆匆搬離。17Please respect copyright.PENANA8Qngzru07i
17Please respect copyright.PENANAFyXAnY0BbE
離開的那些居民,其中也有受過向老醫幫助的,但她無從追尋那些人的去向。17Please respect copyright.PENANAeziyevUcxK
17Please respect copyright.PENANAEPBNFqApwD
祁澈已經是目前她所能找到的,唯一和向里相識的人。17Please respect copyright.PENANAFdp2obmLmu
17Please respect copyright.PENANAxzwqTplB4h
和向老醫有關的事,她認為祁澈有權知道。17Please respect copyright.PENANAqBnIcn7CMN
17Please respect copyright.PENANANy8NCQgiQq
向菱用食指戳出一排字:「他之後會和我媽結婚,如果得罪他的話我怕以後活不成了。」17Please respect copyright.PENANA6Xk0JXQT9p
17Please respect copyright.PENANA3uKvYFUZDD
停了沒幾秒,訊息框跳了個「哦」字。17Please respect copyright.PENANAWoi4tqIwFF
17Please respect copyright.PENANAOuDq4t2bLS
連顆標點符號都沒有,絕情得很。17Please respect copyright.PENANAhwRQ4uxnwm
17Please respect copyright.PENANAqul2b2n2bu
……她覺得自己剛才想多了。17Please respect copyright.PENANA9iZcTiRtN1
17Please respect copyright.PENANAPwmcANUsr2
這個人的鍵盤是一次只能發一個字嗎?17Please respect copyright.PENANA4xIuK3eBb4
17Please respect copyright.PENANAbKQdeH0CWr
這時排隊的人龍正好往前輪到她,鄭娟和秦井也離開原本的陰涼處,跟上前。17Please respect copyright.PENANAQAZzw16mmX
17Please respect copyright.PENANAp0Dsjp8rUJ
她發過去一則訊息,「啊算了不跟你說了,他們過來了。」17Please respect copyright.PENANAndmjZSJ148
17Please respect copyright.PENANAo59tfbrkSO
少女按滅手機,暗嘆了口氣,開始問鄭娟想吃什麼。17Please respect copyright.PENANARlAYLlTeE7
_17Please respect copyright.PENANACJUT0AWdEG
17Please respect copyright.PENANAgZ4oYq9C8K
不知道是不是錯覺,和長輩吃飯是一件特別消耗耐心的事情。17Please respect copyright.PENANARuz7NtxNaz
17Please respect copyright.PENANAH4hN9oGOKu
她家的兩長輩不會七嘴八舌地問她成績婚姻職場,但就是,有種無形的壓力。17Please respect copyright.PENANAKkzn80RnXD
17Please respect copyright.PENANAFquK9JGWbR
而此時,向菱面前就坐著二麻煩長輩。17Please respect copyright.PENANADzkThpWvnZ
17Please respect copyright.PENANAzUhDqs06en
秦井完全換了個面貌——溫文儒雅,紳士而體貼,幫忙拉椅子遞紙巾,偽裝得無微不至。17Please respect copyright.PENANAgOywqj3soP
17Please respect copyright.PENANAH1b5yL9DTM
只是一有和向菱單獨相處的時間,就對她露出極扭曲噁心的表情。17Please respect copyright.PENANAC0tYexOZ3b
17Please respect copyright.PENANAYhBNpOKEyX
三人找了室內靠牆的位置入座。17Please respect copyright.PENANAncIOegC5Aq
17Please respect copyright.PENANA5FyFb1MIKx
氣氛是幾乎凝滯的安靜,而鄭娟屬於一行人裡話最多的一個。17Please respect copyright.PENANAO2pCfJu6hJ
17Please respect copyright.PENANARWadRWe3Qq
她看著老媽不停地說著秦井的優點,包括性格好、文采好還很能掙錢等等。17Please respect copyright.PENANAmVp5bvvNvV
17Please respect copyright.PENANATBpEEUB31d
什麼「人好、有學問」,什麼「顧家又掙錢」之類。17Please respect copyright.PENANAcwQSjgXMnh
17Please respect copyright.PENANAvRrDQkH8Tn
向菱絲毫不在意秦井本人也在現場,無情拆穿:「……可他在我們作者圈的風評不太行。」17Please respect copyright.PENANAdN1WuK6Wi1
17Please respect copyright.PENANAoqxqB1hc6o
肉眼可見,秦井的臉黑了一下。17Please respect copyright.PENANA2LhkKA2WRw
17Please respect copyright.PENANAxFYyV5dhIi
中年女人錯愕的抽抽嘴角,「這丫頭不懂事,別聽小孩子亂說話!」17Please respect copyright.PENANAREZ1bvt7mJ
17Please respect copyright.PENANAphBBL7BTVr
秦井使勁瞪了向菱一眼。17Please respect copyright.PENANAOxgSpQso1K
17Please respect copyright.PENANAwvytSljQjF
少女若無其事地從小菜的盤子裡挾了口菜,放到自己碗裡。17Please respect copyright.PENANAqRDQMRH2v1
17Please respect copyright.PENANAJQLAEqsGPM
這頓飯後半段向菱幾乎沒說話,甚至懶得使什麼花招。17Please respect copyright.PENANAhUFgGITqbr
17Please respect copyright.PENANApM1EB39IJh
長輩們的叨唸已經讓飯桌上足夠熱鬧,她低頭扒飯,繼續表演不發一語。17Please respect copyright.PENANAWzSrWxv3bt
17Please respect copyright.PENANAlYnNSg5RT7
背後的人群嘈雜,路邊攤的流行樂音量放得很大。17Please respect copyright.PENANAdJdpybq2f3
17Please respect copyright.PENANAeyKkb4SNYY
鄭娟去上廁所時,向菱仍然在慢悠悠的一邊扒著碗裡的菜,一邊恍神。17Please respect copyright.PENANAiw4YsJDG4V
17Please respect copyright.PENANAVKRgNa86vg
秦井的坐姿很大爺,忽然喊了她:「丫頭,搬到這種地方生活很累吧?」17Please respect copyright.PENANAefjqCzYgAn
17Please respect copyright.PENANA6jX6oMgLhx
「……」她不想回應這種帶著挖苦的關心。17Please respect copyright.PENANAa8XT7jLCzB
17Please respect copyright.PENANA8bVKcaAWEt
秦井的語氣有些令人生厭,「南雨鎮明明又小又髒,怎麼有人會想離開北渝市搬來這裡?」17Please respect copyright.PENANAEGJLx8uEsG
17Please respect copyright.PENANAOBtaI6LLI1
「如果你還要繼續貶低南雨鎮的話,我不會回話。」17Please respect copyright.PENANAlm0vGjJ5me
17Please respect copyright.PENANAeOkoJGRNto
「……」對方愕然。17Please respect copyright.PENANA8uknAfyTk1
17Please respect copyright.PENANA0gEaXf8u6p
少女眨了眨眼。17Please respect copyright.PENANAf3T3ZdAlpm
17Please respect copyright.PENANATspPWL1ChK
秦井忽然不客氣道:「咱倆等會出去聊一下?」17Please respect copyright.PENANA4kxQAIrrjQ
17Please respect copyright.PENANAHO2PdPMjPu
向菱抬眼,對他不理不睬,繼續慢慢嚼著嘴裡的食物。17Please respect copyright.PENANAdudIwQGhmx
17Please respect copyright.PENANAYkeadnXZkZ
算是無聲地拒絕了。17Please respect copyright.PENANADx8IMFuiDh
17Please respect copyright.PENANAYQThUw0FpA
她很清楚,秦井不是真心想拉近關係,而是另有所圖。17Please respect copyright.PENANACuQBpSjprU
17Please respect copyright.PENANAvA01Y47yHM
她對秦井的態度,只是希望他早些離開鄭娟,不要干擾她生活。17Please respect copyright.PENANAWMK0YosG4E
17Please respect copyright.PENANAn9sGRrn17f
對於他此時這個命令,她不可能答應,也並不想去。17Please respect copyright.PENANAtsgx1IwpkR
17Please respect copyright.PENANAqXsZtW5wLb
秦井:「要不然我們就在你媽媽面前聊公事,你不會介意吧?」17Please respect copyright.PENANArmAARUoDVS
17Please respect copyright.PENANA2VvznbfunU
說這話時並無禮貌的語氣,油腔滑調又讓人感覺討厭。17Please respect copyright.PENANAvAgVhRuMLJ
17Please respect copyright.PENANArMoEC5tCAh
而且他要聊的,應該不只有公事。17Please respect copyright.PENANAhxX38sugBB
17Please respect copyright.PENANA4iu6ICG49i
向菱蹙眉,停了一下才開口:「你之前所做的事一但被人舉報翻出來,你就完了。」17Please respect copyright.PENANAddn6Wozs6o
17Please respect copyright.PENANAzQCsGczoQN
她放下碗抬眸,「你不知道嗎?」17Please respect copyright.PENANAotwvkUyRk5
17Please respect copyright.PENANAuiu4NacWlf
照理說,秦井的小說事業很危險。17Please respect copyright.PENANAdOC8VPpu8d
17Please respect copyright.PENANAy3IsXOml1D
可是他本人一點也沒顯露出慌張的樣子。17Please respect copyright.PENANAnmHSUgMUgU
17Please respect copyright.PENANAgsTk44pE3v
中年男人的神情瞬間嚴肅起來,「今天會找你媽媽,是我要拜託你一件事。」17Please respect copyright.PENANAVZUNeNPoTA
17Please respect copyright.PENANAoAL1why0XF
看這架式,顯然是有求於人。17Please respect copyright.PENANALpBzcUfNvH
17Please respect copyright.PENANA6G4RTID5sj
難得一見的,秦井對她低聲下氣的說話。17Please respect copyright.PENANAcjNOubWtYe
17Please respect copyright.PENANAASGKJChtwQ
向菱隱隱覺得事有蹊蹺。17Please respect copyright.PENANAaTxWYv8d7i
17Please respect copyright.PENANAjGi6NFRoyx
但是鄭娟從廁所回來了,於是秦井明快地說了一句:「那我們等下出去說?」17Please respect copyright.PENANAaMwMBNqvMA
17Please respect copyright.PENANAGawGmPRXTQ
她來不及拒絕,甚至還來不及表示什麼。17Please respect copyright.PENANAhhamdFgCtE
17Please respect copyright.PENANALAA69MlUvb
仍遲疑著,但是對方顯然已經當作她默認。17Please respect copyright.PENANAOoq5xQkfX4
_17Please respect copyright.PENANAwhMrP9G2gJ
17Please respect copyright.PENANAktAhuqnOof
本來她以為兩個長輩會讓她買單,但秦井忽然搶著付錢。17Please respect copyright.PENANAnSWmYn4aea
17Please respect copyright.PENANAHWsfhD8zOY
沒人反對讓他付,所以他臉一陣青一陣白的掏著口袋。17Please respect copyright.PENANAqPBMNdyRz2
17Please respect copyright.PENANAu0TPGqjzfZ
向菱徹底無語。17Please respect copyright.PENANA7ZEFDgUJrD
17Please respect copyright.PENANAS5JvBpybEq
看起來秦井有意接近她的生活,確實是帶著目的性的。17Please respect copyright.PENANAZki2myoclU
17Please respect copyright.PENANAKQ8Scgb4xq
後來她送鄭娟和秦井回到借住的旅館。門前,秦井假好意對鄭娟道:「我陪向菱去外面走走吧,也順便熟悉一下。」17Please respect copyright.PENANATc7dO9KCPd
17Please respect copyright.PENANAeXLCI9wfnL
……這假裝貼心的語氣,怪噁心的。17Please respect copyright.PENANAzrTtP3m2VK
17Please respect copyright.PENANAjoPsp355Yl
向菱暗忖著。17Please respect copyright.PENANAVBywzmDPWT
17Please respect copyright.PENANAdmz3jkxYMf
鄭娟極力表示贊成之後就闔上了房門,留下她和秦井在那乾瞪眼。17Please respect copyright.PENANAGBUsUoXvmm
17Please respect copyright.PENANAa9TRkFHja8
室內的空氣沉悶到讓兩人相對無話。17Please respect copyright.PENANAo9ADqH0WeM
17Please respect copyright.PENANAq7T2L9ldVZ
她臉皮夠厚,決定掉頭就走,不搭理背後的中年男子。17Please respect copyright.PENANAlqzByVooZe
17Please respect copyright.PENANAMLDsj3doGU
秦井的步伐比她大,很快就追上來。17Please respect copyright.PENANADQs2lCZROV
17Please respect copyright.PENANAAvj9hpdegr
向菱沒說話,一個勁的往旅館外面走。17Please respect copyright.PENANAXlDeSE8jTq
17Please respect copyright.PENANAuHeZHWwKxE
離開了鄭娟聽得到的範圍,大街上,秦井瞬間現出原形,氣炸:「你他媽……」17Please respect copyright.PENANAwgbZHy8Mew
17Please respect copyright.PENANAm3SsKyZ4mS
向菱悶著頭快速逃離,秦井一邊咒罵一邊在後方猛追。17Please respect copyright.PENANAFFVaj4DgXz
17Please respect copyright.PENANAPqCvcmIgZy
她跑的速度逐漸變慢,腿已經像是灌了鉛,後方的人即使拖著一身肥肉也能輕易追上。17Please respect copyright.PENANA5Zfbv2hy4a
17Please respect copyright.PENANAfQd8DvnhrE
她認命地停下腳步,氣喘籲籲。17Please respect copyright.PENANAGPcqLvsrSd
17Please respect copyright.PENANAzuAQu8AwmM
腳下的小巷潮濕而泥濘,路燈的冷光投射出兩道長長的影子,一前一後,纏繞如噩夢。17Please respect copyright.PENANAmX3qDtZY2a
17Please respect copyright.PENANAJ6yTz0Shh9
「……所以,你想談什麼?」17Please respect copyright.PENANAMqW6nZ6nsG
17Please respect copyright.PENANADJx0aBiTmf
秦井的模樣比她更加狼狽,半老的中年身體早就不堪負荷這種劇烈的跑動。17Please respect copyright.PENANABdMv1Hcrx3
17Please respect copyright.PENANACREQ78Xg9G
男人緩過粗重的呼吸,咒罵:「死丫頭你他媽的還敢給我跑……老子非讓你脫層皮不可!」17Please respect copyright.PENANAXUGeIiJH0S
17Please respect copyright.PENANA6r9fzW9wWl
向菱往後退了一步。17Please respect copyright.PENANAIBt03e54C5
17Please respect copyright.PENANA4bh1SG0U6P
她還是不想靠近眼前這個惡言惡語的中年男人。17Please respect copyright.PENANABG4pC3WJz5
17Please respect copyright.PENANAUAVWmY9pTx
少女調整好了呼吸,硬生生截斷他的咒罵,「你想談什麼?早點說完。」17Please respect copyright.PENANAYbcKUrOyFo
17Please respect copyright.PENANAy8utWhXi1o
秦井倏地偽裝成正經的樣子,裝模作樣的咳了一聲:「只是要你答應不公開那些事,剩下的條件隨你開。」17Please respect copyright.PENANAwqvNkhM0vu
17Please respect copyright.PENANAp944XTiykv
他所說的那些事,指的是盜取別人文章,偷天換日得了不少獎項的事。17Please respect copyright.PENANA8uqx6uQ7V0
17Please respect copyright.PENANA8LddDQZveJ
向菱把所有證據都存了下來,一旦她把那些東西發出去,在大眾的公審之下,大多數粉絲都會相信秦井抄襲。17Please respect copyright.PENANAxYAy4PdkBU
17Please respect copyright.PENANA0tR9uGmDKY
她握有這些消息,秦井自然不可能隨便惹毛這小姑娘,怕她一生氣衝動就把證據公開了。17Please respect copyright.PENANAyPXgRolXdg
17Please respect copyright.PENANAF08fowFPfl
所以,秦井一步步踏入她的生活圈,想和她打好關係之後,兩人商議解決。17Please respect copyright.PENANAz9Lq0z0f26
17Please respect copyright.PENANA0i3MbS8v7f
他不可能真的愛上鄭娟。17Please respect copyright.PENANA2LKT9jSYKC
17Please respect copyright.PENANAxGDBLgymhG
他的目的,只有讓日葵妥協,其餘的他甚至完全不在乎。17Please respect copyright.PENANA2wNaDSgz4R
17Please respect copyright.PENANAgcXzNf2LdU
向菱把對方拙劣的算計看得透徹,她也並不是這麼容易被打動的人。17Please respect copyright.PENANAXb2i6QI378
17Please respect copyright.PENANAbGqrrzQyip
她骨子裡頑強,劣根又驕傲。17Please respect copyright.PENANAYY3TYOODXj
17Please respect copyright.PENANAeWP3NTqlpU
而且,姿態漂亮到不可一世。17Please respect copyright.PENANA9Qir3Jlao2
17Please respect copyright.PENANA7RjTfUACRc
她只是懶得應付,於是裝作沒聽懂那些流言蜚語,披著一溫和處事的面具,把太深沉的厭惡、不耐煩都收起來。17Please respect copyright.PENANAhbD5ccZfB5
17Please respect copyright.PENANAD7ZfDX0Jcm
少女抿著唇,垂下眼,握在衣袋裡的拳頭收緊了幾分。17Please respect copyright.PENANA6zjiTJBLcr
17Please respect copyright.PENANAFPaqa3rrfJ
以前在北渝浪慣了,又不是沒打過架。17Please respect copyright.PENANAcS3B5iHh7s
17Please respect copyright.PENANAXeZ0aFydMy
秦井按捺了很久的怒氣也終於要爆發,他比她更急於解決此事。17Please respect copyright.PENANAtNz9FYoaJN
17Please respect copyright.PENANAfI7ke7LiAt
秦井甚至擺起架子,「別忘了,我現在是你媽的未婚夫。」17Please respect copyright.PENANAkbJPNxLLP8
17Please respect copyright.PENANADoKBQ79dl4
生著一張猥瑣面目的男人瞬間掄起拳頭,像是下一秒就要對她暴力。17Please respect copyright.PENANAv4zxsP3D9B
17Please respect copyright.PENANAUEsxZn5TEN
向菱並不希望事情以這種方式收場。17Please respect copyright.PENANAbKr21n3iDg
17Please respect copyright.PENANA5JNH6pezff
畢竟,她就算有膽,也打不過。17Please respect copyright.PENANAnqQIc92gZG
17Please respect copyright.PENANATchQ7F0Yzs
但秦井,他只求達成結果,不在意過程如何,甚至不介意暴力調解。17Please respect copyright.PENANAJeRvdg8TrO
17Please respect copyright.PENANAkSYhnZH4vi
男人獐頭鼠目,眼底怒火盛放燃燒,整張臉難看又猙獰。17Please respect copyright.PENANAa9g9MR08D8
17Please respect copyright.PENANAQUeKRJ2aol
他揮起拳頭,腳也順勢要踹過來——17Please respect copyright.PENANAWr3I6ee6H7
17Please respect copyright.PENANAYKMlokEoKL
向菱退無可退,秦井的拳頭已經高高舉起。她捏緊了拳,喉嚨發乾。
