「妳考這什麼分數！？」471Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyfoUwwCPKS
471Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEVwEQGBW9h
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。471Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMsbkKPR4Ak
471Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHdQiUyVl7M
「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！」471Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf2ysc4qeqg
471Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfyApkFyCGN
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。471Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcaYaFnJPlS
471Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmcNoRYB1eU
「洛杉磯才不會用那些字。」471Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkHB6bNtUlr
471Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIyBVkF4XLa
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。471Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡksYEvv1srr
471Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0sJIyLWzQt
「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！」471Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPtBpbONz2R
471Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqugQ6FHmTH
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！」471Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm4Cufx8zLE
471Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOuSgZnZ7Vv
「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！」471Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsply5XV4vZ
471Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUC1APkjv5N
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。471Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeXHekI7VKO
471Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR2WI95PTVi
「讀書讀書讀書……除了拿我跟哥哥比較，那老頭還會幹什麼！」471Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg0dn1lQsNX
471Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhK6sCYt9YY
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。471Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBD5fsEKFXl
471Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3InxHXwckU
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。471Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡditYRU5FP3
471Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPeRfxN7kNb
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。471Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6TLVIZ6xrr
471Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡycOvCN9WDj
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。471Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfLHPoky5Zh
471Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡChCZI4YtQb
「叩叩。」471Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmdkFqYzGxZ
471Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBwwJG7b2WF
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。471Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwBOxWGhVqz
471Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGMyYacsFU5
「幹嘛？」471Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsUKezuzs5O
471Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVJnTuiXDNP
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。471Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo3elvQ5Ada
471Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5k820Ap7dx
「妳在做什麼？」471Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrgpFz41Rru
471Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtBVuFcJ4jN
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。471Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEQGEB3OR2F
471Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcEOgAbCLmc
「我房間缺一個櫃子。」葛蕾絲再問一次：「你幹嘛？」471Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy6cJSkB1Uz
471Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW4rsOGkfbM
瞄了眼房裡的半成品，里奧告訴她：「聲音很大，我在念書。」471Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAx6nv4PB8x
471Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqS8n9XZhNV
想起剛才和父親的對話，葛蕾絲莫名火大。471Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuCMIqwv7bf
471Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFhRg1LNPUv
「你不是有耳機？」471Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMh2gPh5OzL

「……。」471Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW90mmA7nuc
471Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrtjVlfcw4c
「這些工具就是這樣，會發出聲音，很吵。」471Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6kKDejQ4oa
471Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZsynG2QuET
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。471Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡncINBMRwM1
471Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJLA6FQOKqi
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。471Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7OZoLJXO22
471Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaOoVCsSJSS
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。471Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPUw1k7EA8f
471Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAf9LWSdspw
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。471Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡasiye4iFzZ
471Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAzVWboDHNL
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。471Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqYsfzjisfy

「店長，下班的卡我先打，這十五杯外送完，我就順路回家囉。」471Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP22Ej3tAeP
471Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡov6Pv9xtD8
471Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcqz4z03uK7
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。471Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiUQbJccPX3
471Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0U1UqFN3m0
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。471Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9Y54unse3D
471Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCO0wVpxRS6
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。471Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPW8qzabeBp
471Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwAgmDWJsTh
「久等了，你的十五杯飲料。」471Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkOcUSu0zjT
471Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSCEUdcrE2w
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。471Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb7R0JKQKsI
471Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa5XNr4dF3C
「謝謝。」471Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGA4VxB9s5A
471Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeLcSRcBpAA
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？」471Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKLNDq8FEEX
471Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUcaPr6DUW1
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。471Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaZa8H9Q0hz
471Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0qF0ktAepg
「妳是里奧的妹妹嗎？」471Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6ENcp6iQpf
471Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf0ebJkBgpC
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。471Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt2NmMyrMzB
471Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡan5VdzF3TO
「你認識我哥？」葛蕾絲沒有否認，反問對方。471Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2nUMlItTSb
471Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiJ2HCzKnPF
「嗯。」灰眼睛的人點頭，「他是我朋友。」471Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf9znwsUt8p
471Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWnIAR4e0Ag
「他有朋友……！」471Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqJWgxHm02G
471Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡROGNmqGQDt
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。」471Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpgWDUfjZEw
471Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDnNJ3Rhumr
「除了頭髮顏色，我們沒有一個地方像。」471Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡklrsJc0ZP1
471Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqOoE1Ferr6
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？」471Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlW7eWtHtFD
471Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRB3zreVxyt
「『高宇維』。」灰眼睛的人停頓一秒，又說一次：「妳可以叫我高宇維。」471Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHdpxKqVUIz
471Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcKfLH8e09c
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？」471Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1vWpNHUiv3
471Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYwpA2kDVID
「你的飲料……」471Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ87XtPPjOV9
471Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ75wulRJFEr
「十五杯都是我的。」471Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtzHsMXdCIK
471Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN9FmmlRF3R
葛蕾絲一愣，「你一個人喝十五杯？」471Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIyNGitAqDr
471Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5iPyKdvY6x
高宇維不覺得奇怪，「走吧，我們去吹冷氣。」471Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2PvinIySdf
471Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFgHty6NuZn
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。471Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQQ3aJqWpi2
471Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMiHqgb0OWe
「謝啦。」471Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqCTwGyWLvM
471Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCsBi9DOhq3
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。471Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡISQk91KKnm
471Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfHINN8OYNi
「里奧今天課很滿，應該沒空過來。」高宇維喝著紅茶說。471Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFfAthdcQru
471Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeURS3zeN4R
「你們怎麼認識的？」葛蕾絲忍不住問。471Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOSmGjWgatD
471Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBysHwF2SWS
「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。」471Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFHa9c4TD51
471Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpWdliNsE3c
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。471Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiQbAX6VRwi
471Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ19g67c14VD
「他很常提到妳。」471Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3kTqSVmw9H
471Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMs3k6g6QgX
高宇維突然迸出一句。葛蕾絲滿頭問號，「啊？」471Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC9lNPY0WQG
471Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqg3yMxq3wW
「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』。」471Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXkTB62MTcE
471Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC86RRLi6vO
「……！」471Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvqL410f7y3
471Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpD1gsbytAZ
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』。」471Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ67Iu7bOOID
471Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQojzYoX2dJ
「……。」471Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXvpVst4QNO
471Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3M0lviMgAq
「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。」471Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBNYqZ25FLx
471Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpPFSimWvh3
「……。」471Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4JIb7zQdIH
471Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOjWJWl0Qny
葛蕾絲驚訝到說不出話。471Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNkXAkDGT1k
471Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOUoPVTWXNf
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。471Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZhxan03L18
471Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡss1B9cFJ2r
「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。」471Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu4EdwCNWQD
471Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYb1qaQ6noh
「嗯，他知道。」高宇維正在喝第二杯，「他以為妳討厭他。」471Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTdg0OgBKV3
471Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrEqQHo4ht2
「我沒有。」葛蕾絲澄清：「我們只是不熟，我也以為他瞧不起我。」471Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZnK9Bjq2Pd
471Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoHN6SV6ThT
「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。」471Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIZv3Hyok8I
471Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi9W8Z5D3qu
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。471Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZkqnCgbyO7
471Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVIsrdWfAlX
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。471Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYuUSOSwNLv
471Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeB23kO9UFR
「……。」471Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMNMegsN7fU
471Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAotByACuSz
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？」471Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw0JT3sS8hE
471Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgUP4lAEJrH
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。471Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRJOt5eu1h1
471Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ01obm8q5np
「我要煮宵夜。」葛蕾絲問：「你要吃嗎？」471Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyOL7pN90NV
471Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSZOo3nghQ2
「要。」里奧一秒回答，還點餐：「拉麵。」471Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ48CClHsWyo
471Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcszmw49FRF
「好啦好啦。」471Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡccf4CHndWf
471Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUabyjImZAl
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。471Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLVKcaPJUGN
471Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyEML2nitPL
「我今天遇到你朋友。」471Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBlpKmai0VU
471Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJni1vkSUTm
葛蕾絲負責開話題。里奧問她：「誰？」471Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgn3snDvIvR
471Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpxB8Lyun92
「你不是只有一個朋友？」471Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgjMrovfmuV
471Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCma62chZet
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。」471Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2KwuR4vYLh
471Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAoJEsqwt3m
葛蕾絲笑了笑，「名字是高宇維，一個人叫了十五杯飲料。」471Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXnYCg7tlxU
471Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPbkgdEC1YW
里奧翻白眼。葛蕾絲覺得好有趣，原來哥哥有這種表情。471Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYalo6gXcxj
471Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqYPN68z2xK
「他每天都這樣。」里奧一臉無奈，「講也講不聽。」471Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuGbbuxOvpJ
471Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaDTolVxNb8
「每天！？」葛蕾絲驚呼：「不會得糖尿病嗎？」471Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeX2HaCb2qd
471Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgknJ0hPEyf
「……如果可以，他早就得了。」471Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYkDjTTwzqE
471Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB51N2kkpmt
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？」471Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPjiv8uAA3P
471Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRY6qBeT5pT
「巨嬰？？？」葛蕾絲滿頭問號。471Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiX1TZhuKzG
471Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBIay6lAcvX
「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。」471Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBskWmmsf8S
471Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsoTImMfKge
「哈哈哈！」471Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwo3jXPbSTI
471Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWzSzXJT6PU
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。471Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJRzOnZmz5g
471Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBY41YOIzwa
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。471Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6Zqak3z5Tb
471Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCjz2qddTHY
「你最近有看到老爸嗎？」471Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBhUiSsTEQf
471Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3tCBAEEK0e
餐後，里奧幫忙洗碗，葛蕾絲問起阿道夫的事。471Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEYPERSYzq5
471Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWWmP4V6g0x
「沒有。」里奧表示：「他似乎很忙。」471Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjrlHwHzsRW
471Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU6lqSEibUT
「忙到不用回家？已經兩個禮拜了耶！」471Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ60PlFjJuMO
471Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIJfsUBU2Xb
葛蕾絲一說，洗好碗的里奧微愣，反問葛蕾絲：「這麼久？」471Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7bxSAvX275
471Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTWeDZlpjRk
「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。」471Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgAS44jQ3jD
471Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5bhLKZRshx
「不，我白天也沒看到他。」里奧說：「我以為他晚上回家，白天出門。」471Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6u2eweOe23
471Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsJSOPJBLVc
雖然稱不上感情好，但對方是父親，他們或多或少會擔心。471Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbT0gw6npgk
471Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ34ilJF9K8d
「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。471Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKDJ25XrvuW
471Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡshqSdtwR27
「就算是，他也不會輸，爸可是跆拳道黑帶。」471Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrvbdocS1U1
471Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ81g9MZCAje
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。471Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzwimhWt6HC
471Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeJrPg7ElxO
「妳怎麼知道？」里奧問。471Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr8my4HLpMY
471Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI9iinkrsDg
「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。」471Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzvVAQDOwam
471Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkfLlvQFYnu
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。471Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlsvDa94DEO
471Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8eX5mBdgKy
「『奎茵博士（Dr. Quinn）的遺願』……這是什麼？」471Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ30jlym5If3
471Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNPFqchy6PY
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！」471Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSE2nFN81Ki
471Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCEJ5cayiq9
「……！？」471Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCvvQ4RvnRH
471Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd1rP47ESVt
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！」471Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh09rDr3iv2
471Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLnTOj3gOQJ

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：471Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRLm53ZLytw

您好，我是奎茵博士的研究助理，我叫作白絃。471Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFZ380S9vbZ
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。471Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5OU4n7Hbah
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。471Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmVM3KKhD5I
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。471Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGcxOwAoI9U
附件是我的聯絡方式，期待收到您的回覆，謝謝。471Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7pBUt9FnI1
