「妳考這什麼分數！？」506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgXFujf4Mca
506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQCAr56npFf
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。506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSZnWugsTAk
506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKOSQrpsu05
「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！」506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiFlqFvytVb
506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSrwIwXjhgD
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。506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdvX9TYcfZq
506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLUpykJWfgo
「洛杉磯才不會用那些字。」506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEjHvDKP2Hd
506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3RrLafqhU0
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。506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzWzYDP4FYk
506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ547YEmeal
「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！」506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0t60tQGMCO
506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaqFXBleu8W
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！」506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYz1wbH0qmf
506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHNcBsyS9Z3
「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！」506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwRKkRrHoCR
506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHTi9QdlYDY
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。506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHXePZJJqmm
506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrJSBGPQTZo
「讀書讀書讀書……除了拿我跟哥哥比較，那老頭還會幹什麼！」506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8por0GxPBU
506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmEjBguzlG2
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。506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK5fIMw73bU
506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMXaytshA1I
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。506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKieolbe4cn
506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWRZYwJH9JM
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。506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYHBJxnxak6
506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡayMSN49vtA
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。506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY4M81Cbiqf
506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqeZ673L7mQ
「叩叩。」506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9nTOIhKyoi
506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡClBTFTKPGg
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。506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwQ4GqLY2uW
506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡasHXOgoOjr
「幹嘛？」506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7Edhcwxpea
506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡboHcerOkvT
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。506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxmDwBiWYqE
506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFMWwY2MvVe
「妳在做什麼？」506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjmCeNZun3z
506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnIJ06afKfG
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。506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlyWQPFZ4A0
506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzjm0ylW7VK
「我房間缺一個櫃子。」葛蕾絲再問一次：「你幹嘛？」506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxdUlDlyoHK
506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc9mjcPCuQA
瞄了眼房裡的半成品，里奧告訴她：「聲音很大，我在念書。」506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmYFO0rgMMD
506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf4RI1bdvC2
想起剛才和父親的對話，葛蕾絲莫名火大。506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ14ZRnjrN3m
506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk82ISJAi4I
「你不是有耳機？」506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn4QM1aC02c
506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZOyGphXZR8
「……。」506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeenHWyWYpK

「這些工具就是這樣，會發出聲音，很吵。」506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡidyHUVHI97
506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡypAazSdpI1
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。506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlOamgoy0CZ
506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS0FIMXZY3U
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。506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPF7LHB05IU
506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjjBZHqWIK9
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。506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxop7abcvPJ
506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2n74mAycNm
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。506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ37jRNC3F1
506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjmCKOkggGU
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。506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcpbfIbXr88

「店長，下班的卡我先打，這十五杯外送完，我就順路回家囉。」506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvMoNvfDhdt
506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJwtOMSUmNk
506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUKiVCv4eXE
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。506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡukruBQKAAo
506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9hVficN4PY
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。506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR6exjG1JVE
506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoCycRoYaes
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。506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwNS8dZeEqJ
506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyWM2aYtobJ
「久等了，你的十五杯飲料。」506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfJmD2kSS2x
506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMjnq3LgmnL
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。506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdxQPi6sHaY
506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡumChxOqKdI
「謝謝。」506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2Z0jtTP628
506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk0ZDhOvwhc
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？」506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtAkBZ00X1O
506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1QZEV5TdqQ
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。506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcJb4W0WKsb
506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcwgwEGoQlH
「妳是里奧的妹妹嗎？」506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw30kKBMDs4
506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWVE3BZz0e1
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。506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSw7eBClyQY
506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtr2I0azrpR
「你認識我哥？」葛蕾絲沒有否認，反問對方。506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJk3V4QhFbH
506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMmlnD8CGAw
「嗯。」灰眼睛的人點頭，「他是我朋友。」506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB5mD7KCAFU
506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuO7cDfUmdR
「他有朋友……！」506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1JorMQYJBb
506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG7ijUWanpT
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。」506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQNMTefs9eT
506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJS41PB3AQy
「除了頭髮顏色，我們沒有一個地方像。」506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWNHDe5teWs
506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhfgZudMvUo
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？」506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxngsAttnZN
506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRnZLmeEYOS
「『高宇維』。」灰眼睛的人停頓一秒，又說一次：「妳可以叫我高宇維。」506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO4kQLqmNJC
506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0evw1jsTBr
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？」506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnhT7PobjI2
506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxWPAeT3J7n
「你的飲料……」506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBvxBEbEwBU

「十五杯都是我的。」506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbqBIDLP6hL
506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCMzUKP9yne
葛蕾絲一愣，「你一個人喝十五杯？」506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbHw6bUWA4x
506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4OB7POblMn
高宇維不覺得奇怪，「走吧，我們去吹冷氣。」506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV2qrASBXsI
506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE1UEYC5GXz
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。506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2zsKBy9BZC
506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCIQlsc8RIy
「謝啦。」506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGogzND3GGI
506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVzgSlyf0qc
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。506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDWBqcKpvKN
506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpTuTpnBuh4
「里奧今天課很滿，應該沒空過來。」高宇維喝著紅茶說。506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdfSAbXLmr1
506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡllqO9hYu7X
「你們怎麼認識的？」葛蕾絲忍不住問。506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSjGbwUKQGy
506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIa4QpZe82p
「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。」506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDLSLatnIJZ
506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrXz5EYssYG
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。506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1t1u9Tzpqo
506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrd0H8CFYsQ
「他很常提到妳。」506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzz8oTWUM23
506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEnyu0w0C6A
高宇維突然迸出一句。葛蕾絲滿頭問號，「啊？」506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ40HPGSJmbd
506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxIXPqC3rI6
「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』。」506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdpawOtewru
506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXRRrmyoRz7
「……！」506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk2AUDrEvPz
506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZbbu66Yw7f
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』。」506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAupJDL4wtZ
506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfwKrLLA0aK
「……。」506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhFhDR5iy3D
506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7ky2lVMqS8
「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。」506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKIkwHvkSLT

「……。」506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2t3v3pXn4X
506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4B84e8rewW
葛蕾絲驚訝到說不出話。506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡenWBmEzDo4
506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwjO00YWPBJ
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。506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvTlGS5QjkH
506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz5MbRvb9tg
「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。」506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkCykI6wwv7
506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7eYhJpgYEf
「嗯，他知道。」高宇維正在喝第二杯，「他以為妳討厭他。」506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI6EUyyCerJ
506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE3pcJBHVP1
「我沒有。」葛蕾絲澄清：「我們只是不熟，我也以為他瞧不起我。」506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNIl12x01ea
506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhiuF0QciSn
「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。」506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4ypPgTa7CA
506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3Yx0cbqnw6
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。506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7ezk1YW0v4
506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYJk09Cn3lt
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。506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF2L54uaQCC
506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKu1MRaLqB0
「……。」506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOjm5QJW4lK
506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCwJ0OCtpI9
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？」506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF5z3CSxH16
506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQzAEhRlB3w
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。506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡohK2OrFsqG
506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkvk6DyWW2w
「我要煮宵夜。」葛蕾絲問：「你要吃嗎？」506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlKBriQvuR8
506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpHti5gkKzj
「要。」里奧一秒回答，還點餐：「拉麵。」506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3a7buZB5ny
506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoAttSj83wX
「好啦好啦。」506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdgd6bEbCOd
506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVqdWDNZ7NK
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。506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ13opMq9RrW
506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEzrMyVkDAJ
「我今天遇到你朋友。」506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzFxt7kPpbc
506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBHvQTdMVJV
葛蕾絲負責開話題。里奧問她：「誰？」506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkIbiyngA7r
506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6OLrxQp14d
「你不是只有一個朋友？」506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1nY8Y5h0g0
506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIvwRKdCMJ6
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。」506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVSmff27k3H
506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB8UbKqrqSw
葛蕾絲笑了笑，「名字是高宇維，一個人叫了十五杯飲料。」506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqg0qIdJIBv
506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB6NyTrBXYo
里奧翻白眼。葛蕾絲覺得好有趣，原來哥哥有這種表情。506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxt92xa70wW
506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiFnOoePfJ7
「他每天都這樣。」里奧一臉無奈，「講也講不聽。」506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI3aqwmzJy9
506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGuJEeNuLZB
「每天！？」葛蕾絲驚呼：「不會得糖尿病嗎？」506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDPkcUwSJ3X
506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdaMJ2wNSUd
「……如果可以，他早就得了。」506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTkEKekZWmt
506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqKg3CRPCtz
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？」506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5HPNLVDNnK
506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX50Gio0LnG
「巨嬰？？？」葛蕾絲滿頭問號。506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrCDKBSQJUG
506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiArbgs1i4y
「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。」506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR481PnCH7o
506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡulDS5MmWLs
「哈哈哈！」506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0Jj9zSdvFw
506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOVDYuaLG4j
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。506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfu0bZzIY4v
506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuXyCyRsw55
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。506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsri54H4is3
506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDrC6fDdNJw
「你最近有看到老爸嗎？」506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhMYiw69UCe
506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1BtX01kxQU
餐後，里奧幫忙洗碗，葛蕾絲問起阿道夫的事。506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqCx709HG6n
506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0IiEONUE5c
「沒有。」里奧表示：「他似乎很忙。」506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡilEyzliqwK
506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjHjAWMUhWu
「忙到不用回家？已經兩個禮拜了耶！」506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd190TeuA6p
506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKzIx1GtvFx
葛蕾絲一說，洗好碗的里奧微愣，反問葛蕾絲：「這麼久？」506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu8EynrvXkW
506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ53LYrhBxay
「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。」506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEl9D0QqL6P
506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡikXaXDwDDg
「不，我白天也沒看到他。」里奧說：「我以為他晚上回家，白天出門。」506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBsiH9Nv2Ny
506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEpT5sgbSSl
雖然稱不上感情好，但對方是父親，他們或多或少會擔心。506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAc3kpFeDkk
506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHXUaUJsyoX
「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。506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1G9RbGQmME

「就算是，他也不會輸，爸可是跆拳道黑帶。」506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLESRiTufYq
506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCkZAxFKMRe
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。506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS5Fi1KnGTH
506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYBtMoBPSwl
「妳怎麼知道？」里奧問。506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkY82XPFVA4
506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlf3bnczQ0B
「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。」506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn2BYNrZpgq
506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiRfqDVcqtr
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。506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaGJEqQSJUr
506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9dZ1zICJdB
「『奎茵博士（Dr. Quinn）的遺願』……這是什麼？」506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2G91rcjCWV
506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLSf8WBVMx2
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！」506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0sdgnH2qUE
506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh5nLobepn5
「……！？」506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbvBFUdu10U
506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJMEAo2TpAX
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！」506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS9EsIWd6O3
506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡylTv62A9K2

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：506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI2QMqteLBG

您好，我是奎茵博士的研究助理，我叫作白絃。506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyTMLjDWD2P
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。506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjJ2Q0sChQ5
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。506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQvg31p0FUs
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。506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsftcsVitsx
附件是我的聯絡方式，期待收到您的回覆，謝謝。506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVjKHHyXQjc
