「妳考這什麼分數！？」546Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvU5HL8SPEe
546Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAxEXM0AHqV
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。546Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVqjfX9c4AA
546Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLbfrWh1ucu
「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！」546Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfJ0HgvylAF
546Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS6UZkhybtP
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。546Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeJ11izdhcY
546Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6HSceHKJwD
「洛杉磯才不會用那些字。」546Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBEZLrdegrG
546Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAvXw2DCv4N
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。546Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQHqiwPqx7g
546Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbrsUjAI2BM
「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！」546Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡahaATot4Ni
546Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVhgxzVzVFl
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！」546Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6GK6xt30Hx
546Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7pmYSbh6OB
「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！」546Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwt3noZWXoL
546Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4PmF8nU6PY
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。546Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAYjWQRcNUI
546Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0S7NrO4EyV
「讀書讀書讀書……除了拿我跟哥哥比較，那老頭還會幹什麼！」546Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ40jYso4VUG
546Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2aBRwweaod
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。546Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFWXsHPkyT0
546Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDUgZZRR6sk
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。546Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfkTPujPYVH
546Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7twLeyHmwZ
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。546Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRxwmmokY87
546Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs7FG3Vh4jI
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。546Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYbD9ZFm7G2
546Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlV7omDKhzr
「叩叩。」546Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbslJurqpiQ
546Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJfz54Ou0qW
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。546Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwy5EK81VYR
546Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBnyieGjlSu
「幹嘛？」546Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJX6ywr1asK
546Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjFaFF2fV9Y
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。546Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaMkVvgdmVj
546Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiIsvXoo2nO
「妳在做什麼？」546Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUJhE5JWzLF
546Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWqb02fMN6K
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。546Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8LHso2SvFA
546Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsp6Zus8I4O
「我房間缺一個櫃子。」葛蕾絲再問一次：「你幹嘛？」546Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo6eBz67Vh3
546Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXDY7nV5Xjt
瞄了眼房裡的半成品，里奧告訴她：「聲音很大，我在念書。」546Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡueyL7LUT72
546Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw2qeL0CuQU
想起剛才和父親的對話，葛蕾絲莫名火大。546Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdQJE1Kj4qU
546Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV7WViymUMV
「你不是有耳機？」546Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIT5hskoxGZ
546Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9IhA8gKeLM
「……。」546Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡic3jbxIm5U
546Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3FFUj2mv1d
「這些工具就是這樣，會發出聲音，很吵。」546Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd0VzAWXGR2
546Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQFj5CuHTbc
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。546Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXO0yxOEl2o
546Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMP76LJri1s
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。546Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLJGqoSVE5p
546Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB41sMzTGz0
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。546Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWYY1os2p5S
546Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx8SwM8j20p
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。546Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDPDIdgPfB8
546Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXArYyhtRPK
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。546Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs4HgrK6BQy

「店長，下班的卡我先打，這十五杯外送完，我就順路回家囉。」546Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡET1qIFLQEx
546Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6o3FsRRECs
546Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdLEaahja5l
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。546Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr0AmbbJKXU
546Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAdV4QpfgSf
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。546Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDJTbMGWtYy
546Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5YpVh704fK
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。546Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMqytWVELTN
546Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSzaAOWXWOU
「久等了，你的十五杯飲料。」546Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZpZOoAjl5V
546Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgsbplQONHA
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。546Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvS9M91PaW2
546Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKdcMgeczJw
「謝謝。」546Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpKsKCbv7nW
546Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBtNIILhjhg
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？」546Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDY52B0Twap
546Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxjN3c7EvLz
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。546Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5MfonXbi2S
546Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0Or3u0VVNU
「妳是里奧的妹妹嗎？」546Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsGCvqtuHAS
546Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ97qrA2vZkK
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。546Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoPm7YbW0eT
546Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDwaCcosEe8
「你認識我哥？」葛蕾絲沒有否認，反問對方。546Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrdy8By6vLt
546Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsWrgDurrAx
「嗯。」灰眼睛的人點頭，「他是我朋友。」546Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHILtHzOlc4
546Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3i9Txuldff
「他有朋友……！」546Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbqReKzdTgW
546Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXJwPO2RwPO
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。」546Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0NiPST0GDH
546Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYm8CDkVSRK
「除了頭髮顏色，我們沒有一個地方像。」546Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ7Ep366jXZ
546Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrckRuLQdSU
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？」546Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX6BP1YIXS8
546Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGeRcdL5DZ9
「『高宇維』。」灰眼睛的人停頓一秒，又說一次：「妳可以叫我高宇維。」546Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrVgE0ANJPx
546Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkxD83RzeW5
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？」546Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9FElKEwqaF
546Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoIx159DtB6
「你的飲料……」546Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn8Wh7vS41M
546Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXlFxiMafj3
「十五杯都是我的。」546Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0x87O2kLXD
546Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY7a9PxGgSB
葛蕾絲一愣，「你一個人喝十五杯？」546Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFPR9fSKPUv
546Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWnLMwPq7Ob
高宇維不覺得奇怪，「走吧，我們去吹冷氣。」546Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡveqorGI5J9
546Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyunCnPhj0P
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。546Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡprWjPfFtun
546Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHzxyxF7Njx
「謝啦。」546Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPDYkMH7H1e
546Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ20I31l3Gun
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。546Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1wdNxo9Ae1
546Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWkaUVPPSp6
「里奧今天課很滿，應該沒空過來。」高宇維喝著紅茶說。546Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJDeefwjjPR
546Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRKWvwF6GKj
「你們怎麼認識的？」葛蕾絲忍不住問。546Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZinYMwKutY
546Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSiOTyYsS7j
「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。」546Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa76tmoGOym
546Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy5pkwNqnJV
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。546Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwLEcvQOOSG
546Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN4bynEZPBQ
「他很常提到妳。」546Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7zSaow9YlB
546Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQUM8s3sOJI
高宇維突然迸出一句。葛蕾絲滿頭問號，「啊？」546Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiNM4KDtaPv
546Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOUwk4ICojb
「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』。」546Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGy8cFvKjsw
546Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYk8O93GRy1
「……！」546Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXWNZK8bPax
546Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSw5gEdZpDz
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』。」546Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1z9q0KaXl3
546Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNnf6ZkczlW
「……。」546Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkFyvaZ88P9
546Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOZFu2LfY58
「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。」546Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyaypgdcdSQ
546Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzAfzRSy3LZ
「……。」546Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcGWCFDaMHM
546Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv2OWXW7VJp
葛蕾絲驚訝到說不出話。546Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡONosvX4cVE
546Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu4A64wWK9Y
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。546Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzgPTomxQ2k
546Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsYkjyLaT2C
「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。」546Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQFCN1tECNB
546Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡExyyQaQ9DP
「嗯，他知道。」高宇維正在喝第二杯，「他以為妳討厭他。」546Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcVzvPClNSj
546Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2kdbrYpd7W
「我沒有。」葛蕾絲澄清：「我們只是不熟，我也以為他瞧不起我。」546Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHkaVRqsoTY
546Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNwUpQCgP8T
「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。」546Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6wTPl2mooE
546Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgAFVrt2v5P
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。546Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQDTHrrjVge
546Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1THhyapqEc
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。546Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6HIjSBN7JC
546Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtsYF1zUBhx
「……。」546Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡURp1CtMvlr
546Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeRKfF5Jyp8
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？」546Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡowNWZhzRm5
546Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLjS4zF0ZGV
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。546Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWrqFMOEKDs
546Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq2ppLX15fF
「我要煮宵夜。」葛蕾絲問：「你要吃嗎？」546Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw6kUY1MeWM
546Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUUgf4sI53r
「要。」里奧一秒回答，還點餐：「拉麵。」546Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg3xSEmfc0h
546Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ784f0AQl1T
「好啦好啦。」546Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmPZ6WKnKnn
546Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0cSWQGEnj3
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。546Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9mvpkPokqg
546Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5lbwZKkr2Z
「我今天遇到你朋友。」546Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrhZVrmOvrV
546Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAVuLOsmpW4
葛蕾絲負責開話題。里奧問她：「誰？」546Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWIKyL7c0qP
546Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8JXhFxhzf3
「你不是只有一個朋友？」546Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7pEjZGL2Hw
546Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu5urGwyGol
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。」546Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSF2NfqIYx6
546Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWxPGlM0nlr
葛蕾絲笑了笑，「名字是高宇維，一個人叫了十五杯飲料。」546Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS1uvSXeuwZ
546Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡddKLWyadj6
里奧翻白眼。葛蕾絲覺得好有趣，原來哥哥有這種表情。546Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7CtA3uSCbZ
546Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnlKTEIghPg
「他每天都這樣。」里奧一臉無奈，「講也講不聽。」546Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSEcmJ2ZtiI
546Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm2gBL25LmD
「每天！？」葛蕾絲驚呼：「不會得糖尿病嗎？」546Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZemYPICCPx
546Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOlDiaEH3PJ
「……如果可以，他早就得了。」546Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuAN7kgrLD6
546Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡStTeZkKccd
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？」546Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr8jq1SBDhr
546Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyW7DjYUCc7
「巨嬰？？？」葛蕾絲滿頭問號。546Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8FZkBpz6Et
546Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKLV1oGXdC7
「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。」546Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAjOwxt3VFb
546Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyyejiiY4YY
「哈哈哈！」546Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZo03aV3RqC
546Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjdJ7BHHdAW
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。546Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrcBymxKjg5
546Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnDW59XlBgf
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。546Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoGHoTvX2vu
546Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0vm931laDH
「你最近有看到老爸嗎？」546Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcF0wPay4OH
546Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBKzgEWninE
餐後，里奧幫忙洗碗，葛蕾絲問起阿道夫的事。546Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb6zdo2PDba
546Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzrEQlUETB8
「沒有。」里奧表示：「他似乎很忙。」546Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPGjrjzfp4M
546Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4ZT3ifXBmS
「忙到不用回家？已經兩個禮拜了耶！」546Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡooGfyhMXhv
546Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtrJKD0iw0l
葛蕾絲一說，洗好碗的里奧微愣，反問葛蕾絲：「這麼久？」546Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqrinXDTxgw
546Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2D575ehE60
「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。」546Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1JVVnnC1nL
546Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5pjqJFBLQn
「不，我白天也沒看到他。」里奧說：「我以為他晚上回家，白天出門。」546Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ9sEkmgUFr
546Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJbOyc8xErz
雖然稱不上感情好，但對方是父親，他們或多或少會擔心。546Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVvvbtXcFWj
546Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9Hcpta3uMk
「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。546Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz15PXMzyTI
546Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8OI9BpGKb1
「就算是，他也不會輸，爸可是跆拳道黑帶。」546Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyLX3iUVsI5
546Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4r1gICp9sK
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。546Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3YYajZXhoY
546Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiGkePglK1e
「妳怎麼知道？」里奧問。546Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡas9j5wLr8P
546Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGQox67PZaC
「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。」546Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ40E3FQAUl5
546Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoEaKmRVMI1
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。546Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZYIkdgaE73
546Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbLtLIgoSnT
「『奎茵博士（Dr. Quinn）的遺願』……這是什麼？」546Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMZ4gUd8xfu
546Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN4bPsE8k5h
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！」546Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHiH61DmH7l
546Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQGmCPJMhqd
「……！？」546Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZQ5ksmxXm2
546Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrpnAEYOCia
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！」546Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6GuvmSXOVi
546Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2Fo5pyOr6D

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：546Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV8ELYnFQKJ

您好，我是奎茵博士的研究助理，我叫作白絃。546Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9dtQFOmqrb
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。546Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEqTozHmenl
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。546Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9EDYB2hapF
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。546Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRQmQn0FH9n
附件是我的聯絡方式，期待收到您的回覆，謝謝。546Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6eyUBNq0bK
