「妳考這什麼分數！？」525Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT3q8xCCxzs
525Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9mTQCyw2UH
一百年前，父親的書房內，十六歲的葛蕾絲．懷特（Grace White）像做錯事的犯人，站在拜占庭風格的米色地毯上，被人審問。525Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbUhIwo4eo9
525Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhFhePHPq8s
「其它就算了，為什麼連英文都不及格？妳是在洛杉磯長大的，不是台北！」525Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJmI6VgwVr6
525Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQjF8CTc5uJ
她的父親，她那在學術界赫赫有名的父親──阿道夫．懷特（Adolph White），收到女兒成績單的當下，差點氣到中風，血壓估計和葛蕾絲的成績單一樣，都是紅字。525Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVv8KjFvHIP
525Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC8KbVNTsZU
「洛杉磯才不會用那些字。」525Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡON0dU9J61c
525Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr2xbpRAtaB
葛蕾絲心想失算，自己每天守株待兔、打算攔截成績單，阿道夫卻私下聯絡學校，說成績單直接寄去他的研究室。果然，自己女兒在打什麼主意，父親都知道。525Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPvXpN5YbGl
525Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ169IY8Zho0
「30名……班上才33個人，還有兩個生病缺考！」阿道夫繼續罵：「妳哥哥三年的排名加總，都沒這個數字大！」525Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb1gF8ptjy4
525Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbznBKKksHU
聽到「哥哥」兩字，葛蕾絲理智斷裂。她不是乖乖挨罵的類型，葛蕾絲反問父親：「你為什麼只看那張紙？我拳擊比賽拿金牌，你也沒稱讚一句！」525Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSBzqwaRnFr
525Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxdI04MZg5f
「我沒有反對妳玩社團，但妳的身分是學生，不是職業選手。」阿道夫再罵：「妳不讀書，以後能幹什麼？當隻宅在家的阿米巴原型蟲、等著嫁人？妳也沒男朋友！」525Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgUIhIB8hcS
525Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXDApUGWLUe
真是夠了。葛蕾絲握拳，忍住揍人的衝動，回了句：「難怪媽會跟你離婚！」氣得走出書房，甩門離開。525Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQEYx1zi4Zs
525Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3rJGeyeLjJ
「讀書讀書讀書……除了拿我跟哥哥比較，那老頭還會幹什麼！」525Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpnAM9IaWrO
525Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtvaeYuxQvB
回到自己房間，葛蕾絲從床底下拿出工具箱，拆開今天一早寄來的包裹。書桌上有她自己畫的設計圖，葛蕾絲只瞄一眼，便把設計圖扔到旁邊，將包裹裡的木材拿出來，開始組裝。525Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZtCclx2L58
525Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdlpdDDVgVP
敲敲打打，一會兒用鐵鎚，一會兒用電鑽，還用鋸子慢慢割。葛蕾絲無師自通，年僅十六歲的她，廚藝、手作、木工、裁縫……什麼都會，儼然是個天才，就是不會讀書，也很討厭考試。525Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1sIXkO0lfF
525Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv6nairsuB6
雖然父親是大學教授，但葛蕾絲不懂，課本寫的東西可以幹嘛？唸到高中，也不見哪一科的課本有寫「如何修電腦」、「如何煮一桌好菜」，一點也不實用。525Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXQ3Opj4XoJ
525Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgYgBZvytfu
與其花錢，葛蕾絲寧可自己動手。因為沒有放獎盃的櫃子，她自己買材料、畫設計圖，不必擔心尺寸不合、需求不合，什麼都自己來。525Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0eUsJFfooj
525Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBlUX1Utg3o
「叩叩。」525Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQAZSeizWgr
525Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcZWnc6U4gt
聽見敲門聲，葛蕾絲停下動作，走去開門。站在外面的人，有跟她一樣的銀白色頭髮，也有跟父親一樣的琉璃色眼睛。525Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz27Hwq4Wba
525Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmdjO70taYa
「幹嘛？」525Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjiPUdJDOr9
525Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyxSNxDPtTj
葛蕾絲的口氣沒有很好，也沒有很糟。她高中練拳擊，剪了一頭很短的頭髮，只比哥哥的頭髮長一點。525Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmWvttyk5ZD
525Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9iFds2pWlA
「妳在做什麼？」525Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpzaD0AQlsW
525Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhTAgQMzOIk
里奧．懷特（Leo White）──她那剛滿十八歲的哥哥，雖然有一張好看的臉，卻總是沒表情，也不怎麼笑。525Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGMoW4gxTvx
525Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4IUynvfbD3
「我房間缺一個櫃子。」葛蕾絲再問一次：「你幹嘛？」525Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjVl1p2oQkj
525Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2DyXdOf3bn
瞄了眼房裡的半成品，里奧告訴她：「聲音很大，我在念書。」525Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIRxYk1Te6e
525Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa9PUGvoLUg
想起剛才和父親的對話，葛蕾絲莫名火大。525Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFFCJOVIF9F
525Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQZljbRuMha
「你不是有耳機？」525Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXQRS78S6bg
525Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxRJIRUqx8N
「……。」525Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcyyyXngwTE
525Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3wFzpcsZFM
「這些工具就是這樣，會發出聲音，很吵。」525Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRfeVPK4aoF
525Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPjkv17BNFu
葛蕾絲臉上寫著「你想怎樣」四個字。里奧沒有多說，默默走回自己房間，戴耳機，開音樂。525Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbRCAZVsPc1
525Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4BkpSLVC4V
關起房門，葛蕾絲繼續忙。她拿著螺絲起子，一邊鎖螺絲一邊想哥哥的事。525Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxf7SbnYAqe
525Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiTmgxxq0NU
他們真的很不一樣。葛蕾絲不會讀書，里奧很會；葛蕾絲很愛講話，里奧不愛；葛蕾絲喜歡熱鬧，里奧討厭。要不是頭髮顏色，沒人相信他們是兄妹。525Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg7ykWce6mG
525Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUPNaYYLb31
打從小，還住在洛杉磯時，他們就知道彼此性格南轅北轍，生活圈也不同。葛蕾絲記得：她常和一群男孩踢足球，那時候的里奧會提著小提琴盒，從球場旁走過去。就算對上眼，兄妹倆也不會打招呼。525Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxf7m3qyeHx
525Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ1Qyn0rUkl
他們關係沒有不好，無論葛蕾絲用什麼口氣說話，里奧都沒有反應，要吵也吵不起來。與其說兄妹，更像不熟的室友，各過各的日子。525Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxeL2ukPw95

525Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4O6AgztFTm
525Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEVOt5uypCm
基於對父親的報復，和在洛杉磯養成的個人主義，葛蕾絲高中畢業沒有升學。她做過很多工作，速食店、冰淇淋店、文具店、飲料店……原本都是打工，但她機靈、學習力強、反應快，不管在哪工作，兩個月後都會升職，變成組長或轉為正職。525Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr68oV57iL9
525Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmhdAGzrXur
比起念書，工作快樂多了。雖然會遇到白目的客人，但不用考試、不用去學校，努力賺錢再開心花掉，葛蕾絲很喜歡這樣的生活。525Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡngzEdn3nF5
525Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS4DPC41ovh
載著十五杯飲料、騎著自己買的摩托車，葛蕾絲發現這次外送的地點，是哥哥讀的大學。里奧在學校頗有名氣，因為他成績好、獎學金領不完，還有那張臉──葛蕾絲承認，她哥哥確實很帥。可惜啊，連朋友都沒有的人，當然也沒有女朋友。525Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ3BZDgD9zV
525Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyGAKsNO0Fu
「久等了，你的十五杯飲料。」525Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnnuFxeFIb0
525Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXhbrstoElg
抵達學校側門，幸好叫外送的不是里奧，是一個身高偏矮、骨架很小的男同學，五官很秀氣。525Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9qvsIptiRG
525Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvFUqKVtGlO
「謝謝。」525Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS2RBhLXh9d
525Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHK4HU5QgYs
確認東西沒問題，男同學沒有離開，反而盯著葛蕾絲的臉。她覺得奇怪，開口問：「怎麼了嗎？」525Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpVPsUbukGm
525Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmKF4ochGrN
那位同學歪頭。他有一雙漂亮的、灰色的眼睛，卻始終半開，還有淡淡的黑眼圈，一副想睡的臉，感覺很慵懶。525Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSTYfBE88Xa
525Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw3UmfbABAp
「妳是里奧的妹妹嗎？」525Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyBMCpARSxT
525Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEBsSuiovu4
葛蕾絲嚇一跳，但冷靜想，自己的髮色並不常見，聯想到里奧很正常。525Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRJHPxVIPpt
525Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyrU2dWxWRc
「你認識我哥？」葛蕾絲沒有否認，反問對方。525Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxyLk2989xD
525Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5lK5sM7Hg5
「嗯。」灰眼睛的人點頭，「他是我朋友。」525Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK1uFZU5VqF
525Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ6OEUvGdfL
「他有朋友……！」525Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgQix2eE8d0
525Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlgDLoGvALC
葛蕾絲不小心說出真心話。灰眼睛的人一聽，輕輕笑了兩聲，表示：「你們真的很不像。」525Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKmWDkLXbrf
525Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNSx6qCtL8f
「除了頭髮顏色，我們沒有一個地方像。」525Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeHBQWNeQQw
525Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc8NhxGGOmw
里奧的朋友，這種稀有亞種不能隨便錯過。葛蕾絲自我介紹：「我叫葛蕾絲，你呢？」525Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwvEoZLxpc8
525Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8XsAzvPmyC
「『高宇維』。」灰眼睛的人停頓一秒，又說一次：「妳可以叫我高宇維。」525Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQM5hUgCmdO
525Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRmn17OZRYL
猶如平行線的兄妹，竟然因為高宇維出現交點。高宇維邀請葛蕾絲：「交誼廳離這不遠，要不要陪我聊聊？」525Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR3s6CyO5eK
525Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1FmTiTuF9u
「你的飲料……」525Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKqMT2b5j6z
525Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFc5xqLGeGx
「十五杯都是我的。」525Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0kzeA94312
525Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhQghZcg30S
葛蕾絲一愣，「你一個人喝十五杯？」525Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRP3gwwoazM
525Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYk2wY2AC6A
高宇維不覺得奇怪，「走吧，我們去吹冷氣。」525Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKAdbnj0YSY
525Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnuXsZgdApU
說完，高宇維帶葛蕾絲，來到擺著沙發，還有一整面落地窗的交誼廳。他們挑一張沙發坐下，高宇維拿出吸管開喝，也分一杯給葛蕾絲。525Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ13GIhmNeDT
525Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAtOMyHJzfr
「謝啦。」525Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLeUdGnfcHb
525Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡASPGNDBHGP
葛蕾絲舒服地靠著沙發。剛下班，她確實需要放鬆，沙發冷氣飲料，簡直絕配。525Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyAE1Rtdx8F
525Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5fuZ3Y8giN
「里奧今天課很滿，應該沒空過來。」高宇維喝著紅茶說。525Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡItiHAX3Wcx
525Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwULRYLBNFn
「你們怎麼認識的？」葛蕾絲忍不住問。525Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ0mkxPocOj
525Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIl2X76nAzh
「一堂無聊的通識課，和一份無聊的分組報告。」高宇維回想，「報告題目是……我忘了，好像和在地文化有關。我們去台中實地考察，莫名其妙就混熟了。」525Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjsyw3GKblL
525Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlkZm3OjJQw
里奧跟人旅行的畫面……葛蕾絲好難想像。他哥哥左看右看，都不像有趣的旅伴。525Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡut5zd1dlxe
525Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeWdOduIcBa
「他很常提到妳。」525Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVbk9DW2iUd
525Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ77h6IX1hEy
高宇維突然迸出一句。葛蕾絲滿頭問號，「啊？」525Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPbJG7Atc5p
525Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOjLH30yZcT
「我們在台中吃了很多甜食，蛋糕、蛋捲、蛋塔……之類的。」高宇維說：「每吃一種，他的回饋都是『我妹做的比較好吃』。」525Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7UNtHZ6OFi
525Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnidRWNFAPb
「……！」525Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtN80ovLtv5
525Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9SaLHhtbim
葛蕾絲睜大眼睛。不僅如此，高宇維還說：「看到健身房的專業教練，他也說『我妹比較厲害』、『我妹是全國冠軍』。」525Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6LViQevPNt
525Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVh7LkQd0Hm
「……。」525Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ17zodIX79B
525Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOh7PJHptlL
「去很多地方、遇到任何狀況，他的開頭都是那幾句。」高宇維細數：「『這個我妹做過』、『這個我妹很擅長』、『我妹做的比較好』、『我妹一定知道怎麼辦』……他覺得妳很厲害。某種層面上，他其實很依賴妳。」525Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsca3ThveIi
525Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFKpsMMQlGh
「……。」525Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnG37AKLLE1
525Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF5oHwCbKuW
葛蕾絲驚訝到說不出話。525Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkdfknGmozP
525Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtSabw95slt
他的哥哥──那個很少講話、面無表情、各方面都很優秀的哥哥，竟然覺得她很厲害。525Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRaOsvt6NPK
525Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPCQ43KM6X5
「我們幾乎不交談。」葛蕾絲感到愧疚，「『為什麼妳哥可以，妳就不行？』我爸的起手式都是這句。」525Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrDmNgbhugc
525Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtla4sMnk07
「嗯，他知道。」高宇維正在喝第二杯，「他以為妳討厭他。」525Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS2e11oAAf0
525Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJhCQvbAnub
「我沒有。」葛蕾絲澄清：「我們只是不熟，我也以為他瞧不起我。」525Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFfrIVYpWvT
525Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxWkQdyh3S5
「沒這回事。」高宇維微笑，「他不擅長開話題。如果妳主動跟他說話，他會很高興。」525Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbXjVLtoci6
525Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPZ5TZrhy4I
葛蕾絲瞄了眼高宇維。這人雖然一臉沒睡飽，卻散發一股神秘的、古典的氣質。能跟里奧當朋友，果然不是凡人。525Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK8bbrPrK2r
525Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxk77vOnb4u
閒話家常後，葛蕾絲和高宇維道別，一個人騎著摩托車。父親不在家，里奧在學校，葛蕾絲幫自己做了頓晚餐；但不到九點，她又餓了，正思考要煮什麼來吃，大門開啟，里奧背著書包走進來，兩人對上視線。525Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHDf9P7QvmN
525Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡga55baGXSI
「……。」525Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL0hY8trrJm
525Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv73nhK8p0r
里奧和平常一樣，很快就把視線移開。葛蕾絲主動問：「你有吃晚餐嗎？」525Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5jsj2oqs2I
525Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9XWzCvPAm3
里奧微愣。他回頭，葛蕾絲把好不容易留長的頭髮紮起來，走向流理臺。525Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9nh4tSvhYa
525Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ55NUgcmC19
「我要煮宵夜。」葛蕾絲問：「你要吃嗎？」525Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0jeeI5OY2r
525Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqa2UB7XxgT
「要。」里奧一秒回答，還點餐：「拉麵。」525Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3lrH0YCdbU
525Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYb6IR5FQY5
「好啦好啦。」525Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnHIFXuz8XP
525Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFBwywnxbla
葛蕾絲的動作很快，沒多久，兩碗足以登上美食雜誌的拉麵被端上桌。他們久違坐在一起吃飯，儘管里奧還是一號表情，但葛蕾絲感覺得出，他哥哥心情不錯。525Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkJmKUtXN1r
525Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2c8EZNiNOV
「我今天遇到你朋友。」525Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0VTpyYKTWb
525Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgOFMXTSjI8
葛蕾絲負責開話題。里奧問她：「誰？」525Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf2i1lgJi3e
525Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡacp5fDcXUd
「你不是只有一個朋友？」525Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwYCSADHUqm
525Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjDbUZlntTB
葛蕾絲這話是無心的，但里奧聽了很受傷，澄清：「還有小提琴社的。」525Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ16ffyyfg8j
525Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiEWOCkxkze
葛蕾絲笑了笑，「名字是高宇維，一個人叫了十五杯飲料。」525Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡohJtnATN11
525Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuQZmYHC1Z8
里奧翻白眼。葛蕾絲覺得好有趣，原來哥哥有這種表情。525Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT2jjsqNaBE
525Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡALB4cUV63X
「他每天都這樣。」里奧一臉無奈，「講也講不聽。」525Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8D8e6DNg7Z
525Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLeKrBEaNFN
「每天！？」葛蕾絲驚呼：「不會得糖尿病嗎？」525Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwd09lfsc6Q
525Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJMsVw5WvDm
「……如果可以，他早就得了。」525Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8CUf8YYSL8
525Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE93YC9tJYN
葛蕾絲正要問什麼意思，里奧突然說：「妳不覺得他很像巨嬰嗎？」525Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1w0fc8KlDV
525Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbXbC6JWpWg
「巨嬰？？？」葛蕾絲滿頭問號。525Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl5GjYV5D6k
525Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYJjz3qiiSE
「我跟他去台中，如果沒抓好，他會被夜市的人潮沖走。」里奧細數高宇維的荒謬事跡：「解不開打結的耳機、找不到公車站牌、衣服裡外穿反、吃不出貢丸和魚丸的差別……他能活這麼大，簡直是奇蹟。」525Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPd0tN38zNZ
525Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5agIcbLa8d
「哈哈哈！」525Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6sQQFC1209
525Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdvea1cG8ok
高宇維的奇葩行徑，加上里奧的口氣和表情，葛蕾絲忍不住大笑。能當里奧的朋友，高宇維果然不是凡人。525Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSVad1Tw1z2
525Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNhSPuIp2QJ
和里奧一起吃飯，葛蕾絲發現：拋開無意義的顧慮後，她能用一種自在的方式和哥哥相處。里奧沒有想像中冷淡，和葛蕾絲一起時很放鬆，因為妹妹什麼都會──確實，某種層面上，他很依賴葛蕾絲。525Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuWdihZHcmp
525Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC5ZAeqkMr5
「你最近有看到老爸嗎？」525Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnvt7ITOMEQ
525Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡndW8XUqANj
餐後，里奧幫忙洗碗，葛蕾絲問起阿道夫的事。525Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhn4aU1DWr3
525Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSz6rmV1XAD
「沒有。」里奧表示：「他似乎很忙。」525Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzLXMLDBzkt
525Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvR8ylly8L4
「忙到不用回家？已經兩個禮拜了耶！」525Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX1ZvYjSqVC
525Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXBnBnHz6ck
葛蕾絲一說，洗好碗的里奧微愣，反問葛蕾絲：「這麼久？」525Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡur2naQSKrw
525Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOIgKOubnbw
「我前陣子都晚班。打烊後，我去夜市晃三圈、買東西吃，再加上洗澡、吹頭髮、滑手機……每天三點睡覺，我也沒見他回來。」葛蕾絲說：「我以為他白天會回家，晚上才出門。」525Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwoPdhWGCjZ
525Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8FSTpwAf3O
「不，我白天也沒看到他。」里奧說：「我以為他晚上回家，白天出門。」525Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFR18eooWOk
525Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJjlHGrmq6g
雖然稱不上感情好，但對方是父親，他們或多或少會擔心。525Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN8hmsOai17
525Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNccS9zCvPB
「依他那種性子，在路上被學生蓋布袋，也不是不可能。」葛蕾絲說。525Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5l9BwPML06
525Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡufOe9J0drp
「就算是，他也不會輸，爸可是跆拳道黑帶。」525Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCvXyq74qAo
525Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGi9L3bkmam
他們試著聯絡，手機卻顯示通話失敗，訊息也都未讀。為了找線索，里奧和葛蕾絲來到父親的書房，葛蕾絲打開阿道夫的電腦，她不知道密碼，但思考三秒、輸入一串數字，竟然成功解鎖，里奧覺得不可思議。525Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoSMlv527ZF
525Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK1EjzojPd4
「妳怎麼知道？」里奧問。525Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQyPFlThpas
525Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi5YXSSMgTS
「他這麼自戀，又懶得記這些東西，密碼一定是他考上哈佛那天，我太了解他了。」525Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnUxVcdheqm
525Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKknwCye3cC
葛蕾絲點開阿道夫的信箱，收件匣很正常，但機靈的葛蕾絲點開「垃圾桶」，發現一封主旨奇怪的信件，寄件人寫著沒看過的名字：白絃。525Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6oGVO9XGVO
525Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWGwtmNUa5l
「『奎茵博士（Dr. Quinn）的遺願』……這是什麼？」525Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ51OCRNwjJI
525Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfpOl0VbPjS
兄妹倆互看一眼，隨後，葛蕾絲點開郵件。看完內容，里奧瞪大雙眼，難得露出緊張的表情，跟葛蕾絲說：「車借我，宇維有危險！」525Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ9lJeyf43E
525Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrqdXiIxR1A
「……！？」525Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE5Q75f920G
525Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT3T1Twy9QA
雖然看不懂信件內容，但里奧這麼慌張，葛蕾絲知道事情不簡單，起身表示：「我也要去！」525Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu22v2Gfma0
525Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHlal33VWIN

里奧只猶豫一秒，隨後，他示意葛蕾絲跟上。兩人衝向電梯、直奔停車場，忘記關掉阿道夫的電腦，螢幕停在郵件內容，上面寫著：525Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY11sKz9CL5

您好，我是奎茵博士的研究助理，我叫作白絃。525Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdWUiNOIckq
很遺憾，如主旨所述，奎茵博士已經去世。博士曾經交代：如果她來不及完成，希望您能接手她的水果塔實驗。525Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeUX3J297Ux
然而，我根據博士留下的資料，已經獨自完成實驗，成功創造了「艾莉絲」。有關艾莉絲的後續研究，我獨自一人無法完成，希望能得到您的協助。525Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXFHCUki4mK
另外，我無法掌握一些水果塔的動向。紅心傑克、睡鼠、書蟲、瘋帽、笑臉、黛娜、三月兔──如果您有以上七位水果塔的消息，再麻煩您告訴我，我會將他們帶回艾莉絲身邊。525Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6SMJVdI2Df
附件是我的聯絡方式，期待收到您的回覆，謝謝。525Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFGdNQ68tF7
