男人冷漠的身影從車裡下來，純白的襯衫和黑色的褲子此刻顯得格外冷硬。227Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuyR5HEAj7B
227Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuQf4itLmVf
「乖兒子！」婦人上前迎接，一臉高興，「我可終於盼到你回來了。」227Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGQ9ZC5km2a
227Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZA8I3GRCiD
他冷著一張臉，微微頷首示意。227Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRPs0q6EDoe
227Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnC0PW0Kt2W
婦人朝後頭站在車旁另一個略胖的男人親切地說，「蔡先生也一起進來吧！這大除夕的，就不要自己一個吃飯了。」227Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU2R7WHKztx
227Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡREtVwEiAoD
「不用不用！李夫人您太客氣了。」男人乾笑著擺手，「我待會兒就開車回老家，後天再回來接阿凡。」227Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQRUIlBZLuE
227Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMK2b7uTg3e
「這樣。」婦人一臉可惜，但沒挽留，「那好，預祝你新年快樂啊！路上小心！」227Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlV1ByM7oae
227Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdR4kNtHTS8
「謝謝李夫人！你們也是！」男人趕忙告別，「阿凡我先走了，後天再見！」227Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8bIwJMJw4a
227Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2LczYSnRMu
然後閃身躲進車裡。227Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlhuhKw9gm0
227Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzKS3E85hk3
冷淡的男人無甚表情，轉身走進屋裡，婦人也趕快跟上。227Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ852CVr9wac
227Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7NiPc26L03
兩人經過客廳，往飯廳走時，婦人小心翼翼地問，「那個⋯⋯小林沒跟你一起回來嗎？」227Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhnnPHESj8u
227Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN9Nvgar8YH
「回自己家了。」227Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFrLgl66VSx
227Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHMbQPs1QBu
「啊⋯⋯這樣。」婦人放鬆了點神情，「待會兒你爸有件事跟你商量⋯⋯不是甚麼大事，就是⋯⋯反正你先聽聽，別太緊張，也別跟你爸慪氣。」227Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSdHNJ067Ip
227Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡApQzVmZHJk
他沒有答話。227Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKYkCBxyKqp
227Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfF53lbXl0H
飯廳裡另一個中年男人已經就坐，神情嚴肅。227Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTBpwglta6f
227Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSk3zixCSrY
男人淡漠地頷首打招呼。227Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqM0hqQOmg5
227Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP1q3Y3liJu
「嗯。」中年男人沉著臉應了一聲，「坐吧。」227Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp84EVumax1
227Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHLStxlIJIH
傭人把菜都上齊後退了出去，三人默然開動，餐桌上只剩零星碗筷碰撞的聲音。227Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJNjJ6zh5wP
227Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ49bmmiB7JO
吃了一半，中年男人放下了筷子，向著年輕男人說，「給你跟林家的外孫女安排了見面，記得把時間空下。」227Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk74PTiDFXt
227Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGRmLgS19lu
年輕男人看了自家母親一眼，想到她剛才的囑咐，壓下想說的話，隨意嗯了一聲。227Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0E5Mwq9Ed4
227Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5SBGL9XH5F
「打算甚麼時候回去西班牙？」227Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb1YoVeViha
227Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiyeS5VS8Du
年輕男人邊吃邊冷淡地說，「沒有計畫。」227Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo7lNfqAv4m
227Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLHR9IP9Pox
中年男人眉頭深鎖，「甚麼？」227Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQPPl3vc0yp
227Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYMDj6TQBag
「我會繼續留在國內踢足球。」227Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMzvijvut9p
227Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvKXFprV4q3
「你是說這個賽季之後，你還要繼續留在新鳴？」227Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfQEtKTa324
227Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXqSwp36uex
「對。」227Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡStkTES3CvK
227Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡafPD9E7sHS
「所以，」中年男人的語氣都變了，「你要繼續踢乙級？」227Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ05HdDFuoJt
227Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1L4UzHAdxw
「贏了冠軍，就會去A隊踢甲級。」227Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8yZSn20ddU
227Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyO9DdynYut
「現在問題是這個嗎？」中年男人厲聲說道，「這裡的A隊跟西班牙的A隊能一樣嗎！你是不是燒壞了腦子！」227Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe10imOV0eA
227Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyOgeKUiBJR
「老公別激動⋯⋯我們說好跟孩子心平氣和地說的⋯⋯」婦人焦心地在旁邊勸說。227Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrLuo5eQB7R
227Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrJrBno2KBe
中年男人不管妻子的勸說，大怒拍桌，「李與凡你給我清醒一點！我花這麼多心力栽培你踢足球，就是為了讓你在這種三流球隊踢這種不入流的比賽嗎？！」227Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhve54B0mdb
227Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKZwrruUEBz
李與凡依舊冷漠，緩緩放下了筷子，抬頭看向自己的父親，「我很清楚自己在做甚麼。」227Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbhqabllesh
227Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlnYx3s3BUJ
李父怒然看著他，胸口起伏。227Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡozkpjLvvv1
227Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1osjbevrLK
李與凡目光深深，面容不變。227Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3C2LvrnktN
227Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQU1AmemTHj
「我會證明，我今天得到的一切，都不是靠誰給的。」227Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvp5yDfrRN4
227Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2fhFlwkw4M
227Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg11Q9DO7s4

227Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDr3LuYShze
227Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt9hyulQTub
另一邊廂，林家四合院老宅外。227Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡATAcRZYJZw
227Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3Jfbgp05ok
從南翠球場開車趕回來的林經陽，在大宅門口跟自己的父母會合。227Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUoOZAV7CxN
227Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡghgVGrS5R1
他母親趕忙抓著他的手臂，「怎麼樣？有沒有請周總一起來過年？」227Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ3CaJ0x6Iu
227Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW4wI8xZfrd
林經陽無奈，怎麼自家母親第一件事是關心周諾寧，「沒有。」227Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4EbEx9hxNJ
227Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeXilvRqM6z
「這樣⋯⋯」林母擔憂地說，「你表妹出了那樣的醜事，聽說本家是不想我們回來的⋯⋯本來想說如果能把周總請來⋯⋯唉，也不知道他們是怎麼個態度⋯⋯」227Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ11n1RLJTHu
227Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJzAWobWzMW
「沒事。」林經陽安撫，「反正總歸得有人代表回來露個臉，我們低調一點就好，老人家們應該不會說甚麼的。」227Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzfCQPNCHdz
227Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNTcp8c21ii
林父點點頭，「今年說是統一去正院問安，待會兒你自己進去打個招呼吧，我跟你媽在偏院待著。」227Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVGQPmU9jFl
227Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjdwRAy7bsZ
「嗯，我知道了。」227Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqoem6VfYrP
227Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgnOgN6J6nB
穿過四合院的廣亮大門，迎接的傭人一個帶著林氏夫婦前去偏院，另一個則帶著林經陽到了正院，停在中堂的門邊請他進去。227Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJs5DluSj5E
227Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIuV43sLJ5M
林經陽頓下腳步，看了裡面熟悉又遙遠的建築一圈，才緩慢地跨過門檻，進入屬於主人之家的中堂。227Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMJDXZd1C3m
227Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeJ2StlnGXT
他走到中央的八仙桌，依次給坐在兩旁的長輩一一問好，幾位老人家都很有默契地沒有多提他表妹的事。227Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDPuJPGL5mb
227Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg79hMwICr9
例行公事辦妥後，他便打算回去偏院找他父母，回頭就看到剛跨進門檻的熟悉身影。227Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzrj5uHQrlR
227Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0SzeMigi5E
林經陽上前朝男人笑著打招呼，「好久不見。」227Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeqV8Wz9dJs
227Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtSxT0VSSlM
「嗯。」男人慵懶地插著口袋，「你父母呢？」227Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi4nPplcSaO
227Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡccg9TxoXN2
「在偏院，我也正打算過去找他們。」227Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡubBKo5ADJX
227Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBOcSU8dtBi
「請他們也過來吧，今年整個家族都在正院吃飯。」227Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6LQeSwbYcL
227Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYpAIzAlOMd
林經陽略為驚訝，「我以為⋯⋯只是讓我們進來打個招呼。」227Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrG3mcjw97Q
227Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGFgSK4FD0l
男人扯著唇，「那些不合時宜的規條，也該是時候廢掉了。」227Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡibVms5NSkj
227Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7YqCLLaf6S
林家的正統血緣是百年貴冑，歷史僅次於皇族之後的上官家，所以很多傳統守舊的規條一直流傳至今，例如林經陽這些旁支出身的族人，以前是絕對沒法踏進中堂半步的。227Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡInUUWkjHSR
227Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlOZ9nZixH0
不過去年林家新任掌陀人上場後，好些舊規矩就被逐一廢除。227Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvpClhEHNQQ
227Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ03wrSFQs6I
林經陽笑了笑，看向不遠處正在和小孩子打鬧的年輕女孩，「看來你家裡那位對你影響蠻大的。」227Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWVL1Mhj8sT
227Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡET41Rrn9Sp
男人勾了勾唇，不置可否，唯獨落了女孩身影的眼神裡，多了一層冷硬中的柔和。227Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLcfGcL7mwf
227Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiThTphwjRU
林經陽看了看四周，「你妹妹呢？還在國外嗎？」227Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQi2i8Gwmeo
227Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCrFiwUkRch
「嗯。大概是在西班牙太快活吧，說是作業趕不上不能回來，等到年末的時候再看看。」男人神情鬆弛，「反正她被關在這裡太久，也需要多點自由，就任由我爸媽嘮叨去了。」227Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPNEJkUrziu
227Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEZsSGnai7N
林經陽失笑，很明白他說的意思，「看這樣子，再過幾年，你父母該給她安排婚事了。」227Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW46AjRy63O
227Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpqrnb72XDP
「就是啊⋯⋯」男人若有所思，想到那條他還沒能改變的規條，「父母之命，媒妁之言⋯⋯看似天經地義，但誰又真的那麼幸運，能被安排遇上那個最適合的人選。」227Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡODUyewuMWd
227Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWLf2slWMSR
林經陽笑著抬頭看天，頭一次有些慶幸自己是出身自旁支，「看來出身正統，也未必永遠都是好事。」227Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ14bwjxMzH
227Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHE6KmlRJG6
他家的公司是服裝界的龍頭企業，以前同學總把他當成小太子爺，百般討好奉承，令他總有種優越感，自認出身不錯，足以讓人稱羨。227Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkmPdmLsavy
227Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCoeQ0o1f8j
可是當他母親總抓著他切切教誨，叮囑他一定要努力學習，拼命發奮圖強，絕不能讓林家那群人瞧不起他時，他慢慢搞不懂他爸媽到底還有甚麼不滿足。227Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz4TCBD5L1U
227Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnpsPskuM9Z
當他漸漸長大，學會觀言察色，才赫然發現在他名字裡的「林」，跟別家小孩的那個「林」，原來還可以如此差天共地。227Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo298rU7mfu
227Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn0Eb4p9ac2
百年家族林氏，身為四大貴族之一，有座寬大的四合院大宅，代表著林氏悠久且堅毅不屈的歷史，是整個家族的根基和象徵。227Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL6B7IvgG2E
227Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAU4YmpoCHV
能在裡面生活、奔跑、長大，是一種身分的肯定，而繼承它的人就有如擁有天下。227Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡufv9uUZc7g
227Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxKKYuh3EQI
可裡面天地再大，卻永遠都不會有屬於他和他家人的位置，他們只是這遼闊庭院裡，可有可無的青草綠葉。227Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOjMfzQtNhL
227Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoI9AAkF4QK
他們必須要存在，卻又要像不存在那樣謹言慎行。227Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeYeqdSpHNg
227Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu52XeR0nr7
從那時林經陽才明白，原來他們沒有的東西，還有這麼多。227Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUr5xUPM8Fg
227Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBj0XqAOa9C
真正令人稱羨，擁有一切光環的，是站在祭壇最前一列，牽著太老爺的手，在眾人的目光之中上前拜祭的一人。227Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8PMr2d6i7A
227Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlpqSxm15rZ
而那人，就是面前這個與他年紀相仿，卻已經是林氏現任當家的天之驕子，林景軒。227Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOCcFIpnYj2
227Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2nVU8RZnjV
「是嗎？」林景軒挑眉回視過去，「那你擁有身為旁支的自由，讓你選擇到了你想要的人了嗎？」227Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ30uDQJua8Z
227Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfpmW7mjyat
林經陽遙望遠方，神情意味深長，「選⋯⋯當然能選了。」而後又笑著自嘲，「只是⋯⋯那個選擇並沒有選擇我而已。」227Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡip4inLt2LQ
227Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHKvygWAJiz
林景軒勾唇，「看來周家大小姐眼高於天的傳聞，倒也不假。」227Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiMR8cMmVk3
227Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZxQ13YrXQa
「眼高於天嗎⋯⋯」林經陽輕笑了聲，曾經也以為是自己配不上她，「或許只是她心裡面，本身就沒有所謂的標準。」227Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdJOzH1kqiZ
227Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBxqoSvNV7W
林經陽很確定，即使過去一年荊棘滿途，歷經許多不必要的跌宕起伏，此刻的周諾寧，正在度過她人生中最快樂的春節。227Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNt7nkK9Cvn
