「妳考這什麼分數！？」524Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBFB7pzyAFD
524Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPYcPgf3NJB
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。524Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrd8xoniZqM
524Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKIiW47SuRi
「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！」524Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe9gaKSmrWh
524Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmDpMYO7AHz
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。524Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5JpqSQErIR
524Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQV28NURIOo
「洛杉磯才不會用那些字。」524Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡocQwd0BnqV
524Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoOseiLFBwB
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。524Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHvODfqZIk7
524Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS2SV0MNMJj
「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！」524Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJJvCD5nCpr
524Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJj151R4Le7
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！」524Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzOXlwKRrp9
524Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7vrcXIT4Bn
「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！」524Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqpxmIaVeUy
524Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAZSd64qtcf
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。524Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP6AxBvW9Hg
524Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡibbWYEaYIl
「讀書讀書讀書……除了拿我跟哥哥比較，那老頭還會幹什麼！」524Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6wMAlChdpL
524Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXOn96RUNWN
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。524Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzGPnMJxmRq
524Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEVuUxy3Nbt
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。524Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2b1XTcv8i1
524Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPJHS6bQmAU
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。524Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuP2Qa0ddFV
524Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUUfemaBY1s
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。524Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEjBmQEhpKC
524Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSV4yF0y2gK
「叩叩。」524Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVzvVBNwaVr
524Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjAV1v4I8LM
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。524Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiCVZXEWBfx
524Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc6IZNdecwR
「幹嘛？」524Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYICOgfdVMe
524Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2TB5XPWxIb
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。524Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡotHSUsHqHn
524Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7RvTAiHlon
「妳在做什麼？」524Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyDbOBcqnWa
524Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH2ZvtTbIX4
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。524Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrZWYhY1Vw3
524Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeuOJusjMQv
「我房間缺一個櫃子。」葛蕾絲再問一次：「你幹嘛？」524Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVLJ6X7UlMJ
524Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzJtZMl1wXQ
瞄了眼房裡的半成品，里奧告訴她：「聲音很大，我在念書。」524Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5d1WX5qzTO
524Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡevcvC4xeQy
想起剛才和父親的對話，葛蕾絲莫名火大。524Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlc64WNBOGL
524Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3mBNg3IOuK
「你不是有耳機？」524Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8i1ycA0JFB
524Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCRdlce9gRS
「……。」524Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzx6TTM75c5
524Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvpXaa85eXC
「這些工具就是這樣，會發出聲音，很吵。」524Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkw3UNA02pf
524Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkfq17aCsuq
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。524Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN59njuNapM
524Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrP1HwyCS3p
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。524Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyBNkZH8bhI
524Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFyVKsST9ko
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。524Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQQ8ZuiJWde
524Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0qUUyoPN9s
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。524Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUZ3gBoUmGc
524Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJo1NsKmSxT
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。524Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBbQ7vjGw75

「店長，下班的卡我先打，這十五杯外送完，我就順路回家囉。」524Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBhjvvrIxFY
524Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlbn3fZYKa1
524Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ72UczclMOA
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。524Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfFOraOlu4o
524Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJXQhJASdVB
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。524Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ0s7AaUIve
524Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgppglqbwcE
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。524Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqpsl8g5YlR
524Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6TwJNmeAlC
「久等了，你的十五杯飲料。」524Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo5vDFribmz
524Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR8Kj3CcVr2
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。524Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGDQ0k3fjHJ
524Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHQqNcqBgOp
「謝謝。」524Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRxbRgbRX5U
524Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW7tOqvq8Q5
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？」524Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgb886a8TzW
524Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHyV0jquhBV
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。524Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCpgmV53O8x
524Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5ybNjDLGvR
「妳是里奧的妹妹嗎？」524Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQwIGwr3VzS
524Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9429tvXyB7
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。524Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzdSNcWRgi9
524Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvZqbhcpSev
「你認識我哥？」葛蕾絲沒有否認，反問對方。524Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJNIgE8ATsW
524Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgj4xQIdzuw
「嗯。」灰眼睛的人點頭，「他是我朋友。」524Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXoMzcVLGDe
524Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3ASXYPcRTO
「他有朋友……！」524Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡznv8auyHx4
524Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡecGsExw8Wh
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。」524Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1mqz4NQOif
524Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLalqbQw8GZ
「除了頭髮顏色，我們沒有一個地方像。」524Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwLHL2Km7x0
524Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSlT8YBPBnQ
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？」524Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs23NZWg3Po
524Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRqDFgmnXF0
「『高宇維』。」灰眼睛的人停頓一秒，又說一次：「妳可以叫我高宇維。」524Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg0KwRR6VJE
524Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡecGqHoVmse
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？」524Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhgw5JG8COV
524Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9DQF2s5nrq
「你的飲料……」524Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡysexZ4J9xU
524Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWvxZoONEsV
「十五杯都是我的。」524Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ6uELWtIuR
524Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZtf5j50ZHr
葛蕾絲一愣，「你一個人喝十五杯？」524Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF3kitEPA8r
524Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHQysQDYbdn
高宇維不覺得奇怪，「走吧，我們去吹冷氣。」524Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXyZewckCHE
524Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM91V19CE2S
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。524Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBuLYDhnchP
524Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuO8VTZDXjJ
「謝啦。」524Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjYKwgshprl
524Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNBhT0VAVlJ
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。524Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsqljALq70Y
524Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGwm1zN2zik
「里奧今天課很滿，應該沒空過來。」高宇維喝著紅茶說。524Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjg2J0AXceL
524Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwjyrEMGvWv
「你們怎麼認識的？」葛蕾絲忍不住問。524Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzJu5tEUtzk
524Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ05PUj4STlZ
「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。」524Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW0c9wm5BiU
524Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpeTGzsebfE
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。524Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrnrgxfXfVW
524Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFQFOTAytzg
「他很常提到妳。」524Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZqLPJw3RQJ
524Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHyh4xmbqAl
高宇維突然迸出一句。葛蕾絲滿頭問號，「啊？」524Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0OIRiJ27gG
524Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQdz6m2s3jh
「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』。」524Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIgCfjidjfz
524Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEdsCvvg9AB
「……！」524Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3vo3ZA9sZX
524Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWjPBR4h4WR
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』。」524Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG2cSdGhDTu
524Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh5b0xvSg8E
「……。」524Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz0F1uzyrls
524Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsFftaIJitx
「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。」524Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVbztY3YYB1
524Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnHxNHKH5lx
「……。」524Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxqzAN9HImV
524Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBjGtxaOKzl
葛蕾絲驚訝到說不出話。524Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡglZIaMnRlA
524Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHmgNPG48ka
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。524Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7Ekq1ZPdx9
524Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2sTRG1TIzi
「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。」524Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA1fqEAanp1
524Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzS84gyQMkX
「嗯，他知道。」高宇維正在喝第二杯，「他以為妳討厭他。」524Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM3PaTQ3S9E
524Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK8uGRbx4tt
「我沒有。」葛蕾絲澄清：「我們只是不熟，我也以為他瞧不起我。」524Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW0RZeYF2C6
524Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDUxVOfVXJk
「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。」524Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrqrT0dCrFi
524Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8IyAjpNKah
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。524Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW3tFHZMRtT
524Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡelQOEsrneK
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。524Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy2tzAIStaY
524Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7wYNmEhsMq
「……。」524Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFWlQASecLM
524Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaNMgsIPmH5
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？」524Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMdomsIVmAq
524Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNlWfI8D89Z
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。524Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcOITntyBDg
524Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSrbaF3WKVs
「我要煮宵夜。」葛蕾絲問：「你要吃嗎？」524Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡihlO71siEF
524Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡheFaGrMlne
「要。」里奧一秒回答，還點餐：「拉麵。」524Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlO0aWAUG8q
524Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWSaDlfI8Wy
「好啦好啦。」524Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUUfoPyzPm2
524Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNdP27x3S7E
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。524Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5WaqvQ3HGs
524Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOypv47gLhU
「我今天遇到你朋友。」524Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn3uz5JYmw8
524Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBTlT5FEMf6
葛蕾絲負責開話題。里奧問她：「誰？」524Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8aKkNFGaEb
524Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7Up1gW5zGA
「你不是只有一個朋友？」524Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡefjh5oO4jk
524Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN6jJ5JX9Ok
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。」524Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpFcVnEWDdk
524Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhNKKAiCH4Y
葛蕾絲笑了笑，「名字是高宇維，一個人叫了十五杯飲料。」524Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFWYXYgZdhz
524Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXYnipnVJWD
里奧翻白眼。葛蕾絲覺得好有趣，原來哥哥有這種表情。524Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXPAy95tDSg
524Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAwcQ6tiukw
「他每天都這樣。」里奧一臉無奈，「講也講不聽。」524Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDlu4CJVJj5
524Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUxKB1E7axB
「每天！？」葛蕾絲驚呼：「不會得糖尿病嗎？」524Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrfnXGh6Vx8
524Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjuiW5406cw
「……如果可以，他早就得了。」524Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs0AlDR9c9w
524Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKuc3nERsDr
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？」524Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxRmN1QEB9C
524Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGEZFV66BgP
「巨嬰？？？」葛蕾絲滿頭問號。524Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6WNND40K4P
524Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgdNft5epbN
「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。」524Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDCalqOIjnT
524Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8cRR6Mk0NE
「哈哈哈！」524Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy4zLhdXbCP
524Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuJVyv6dey7
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。524Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0n4cMU7CBn
524Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ79WuUT5Cn4
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。524Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9oamGtbpZK
524Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLIgy1RpXE4
「你最近有看到老爸嗎？」524Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLkcCq13Ro3
524Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡORTpb6UDZ4
餐後，里奧幫忙洗碗，葛蕾絲問起阿道夫的事。524Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9fEqTFr5uQ
524Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTRcrqo9Bfn
「沒有。」里奧表示：「他似乎很忙。」524Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWoFxCN9YDB
524Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL2BdlhJqPx
「忙到不用回家？已經兩個禮拜了耶！」524Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3Wccsfsb1A
524Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcdK6eqZv3h
葛蕾絲一說，洗好碗的里奧微愣，反問葛蕾絲：「這麼久？」524Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQdrSx5rU9D
524Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV4kMy6Om9f
「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。」524Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnhe6H5k0Vz
524Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMWvrTQjoCZ
「不，我白天也沒看到他。」里奧說：「我以為他晚上回家，白天出門。」524Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHoaTiFF37m
524Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡALOQ0oGjrL
雖然稱不上感情好，但對方是父親，他們或多或少會擔心。524Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSnh9AnAybJ
524Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV3Svfu6O0J
「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。524Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUtmBLpUZuP
524Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQkEIqTwdT9
「就算是，他也不會輸，爸可是跆拳道黑帶。」524Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJfeVj0wyl5
524Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI3IZ4eK3S6
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。524Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN1w1oMlxEe
524Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA4CudWYxTN
「妳怎麼知道？」里奧問。524Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG9lVPqn59o
524Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSRWBEybcwh
「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。」524Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGkZN8XC12n
524Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq748TeI1dR
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。524Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBDefQTstDm
524Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm2sjwoRzzx
「『奎茵博士（Dr. Quinn）的遺願』……這是什麼？」524Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX46IqH4PcD
524Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYB10G9W3Jt
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！」524Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡezTt2pAazo
524Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJXUvctxSuL
「……！？」524Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWuAlTdRSLu
524Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs5rSOd80II
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！」524Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzeOyjIAd8r
524Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEqcnxHOnzE

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：524Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhazp1uPH4A

您好，我是奎茵博士的研究助理，我叫作白絃。524Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlGuqQfk1hM
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。524Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSh6vypXh8t
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。524Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyMroSWfw5G
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。524Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfdmve9uhgr
附件是我的聯絡方式，期待收到您的回覆，謝謝。524Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0RlnghFZhC
