又是一年的三月，春來時，梅雨季也隨之而來。78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8AxJtzJEkS
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHoAHwKqrJ1
「呼……」78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpK3bffM77A
微瀾撐著傘，站在研究所外，看著眼前這座曾經見證過心動與心碎的建築，心底莫名泛起一絲複雜的情緒。78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ43uvwXecrC
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡePmEeMLMEh
這裡，是她曾經努力融入的世界，78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhFTcYjGgt6
也是她曾經選擇離開的地方。78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXFtITwelcB
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZBIfkKL0Rz
這一年來，她以外部人員的身份協助研究計畫，始終沒有真正「回來」。前陣子，蘇硯問她，是否願意正式接下研究員的職位。78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4ROgfJDHTH
她想了想，最後，還是答應了。78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDHnftgWR4b
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡndBoG0F6Hs
今天，就是她正式加入的第一天。78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0BP3U4uzJ3
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8qWgBiwBdP
「……這比研究所面試還令人緊張。」她低聲嘀咕著，手指輕輕扣了扣傘柄。78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLjrACd7a0V
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN6yqjwzAXH
她已經適應了學術環境，也確定了自己想要走的路，但當她真正要踏入這個地方時，心裡的緊張感卻還是不可避免地浮現出來。78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmoVfVOHFV5
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEzsgtnxIj6
幸好，蘇硯的團隊氣氛與他本人並無二致——78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtWuuxgtk9u
溫暖且熱情。78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeJwroB5yZV
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1ijHiksV3P
這個地方，不再讓她感到陌生與不安。78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSirq99KRJ4
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJTBOGcaB3v
她微微一笑，深吸了一口氣，然後邁步向前，伸手推開了研究所的大門。78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYzmvt22KCi
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMjuimn4IvB
「哎，學妹來啦？」78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsZAKjxUPex
熟悉的聲音自前方傳來，微瀾抬起頭，便看到蘇硯正懶洋洋地倚著門框，手裡捧著一杯咖啡，像是在等她。78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8j4T9fmbnd
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJrjuxZIhJc
「學長，」她無奈地笑了笑，「你什麼時候改負責迎賓了？」78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5QO4s86gvs
「這可不是迎賓，是怕妳站在門口太久，乾脆過來看看。」蘇硯喝了一口咖啡，瞥了她一眼，78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc9SMFQq6CQ
「更何況…妳能算『賓』嘛。」78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHBzD9dtmHR
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZNnhL2Va5E
「……學長，你是不是期望我現在轉頭就走？」78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFVd90E5XvH
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEk4z74nE47
「怎麼？要不要回頭？現在還來得及喔。」78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj539BsVyqR
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzcJMmk6qtg
「……你覺得我會嗎？」78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7J4CxDKKtO
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgQrR6B7xIA
「不會。」蘇硯聳了聳肩，嘴角勾起一抹笑意，「但還是想看看妳會不會，又『臨陣脫逃』。」78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNbAekyQQb5
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5GgUf4peQr
微瀾無語地翻了個白眼，「學長…現在教授都像你這麼閒嗎？」78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7MIwbZfWN5
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw927lzHQGW
「不閒啊，」蘇硯理所當然地說，「但來損妳幾句還是有點時間的。」78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡevyBQvIQJ8
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaonZCM1IXp
話落，他將一張訪客識別證遞給她，「今天先拿這個，之後辦好正式的就能進出了。」78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIZcEdUkg7l
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9ySGDsLOXt
微瀾接過識別證，別在腰間，便跟著蘇硯走進去。78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuG9oLAhFty
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7H89eD0x2H
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKbp65ihcsd
「走吧，該來認識一下你的新同事了。」78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBWxzAKqApn
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxNhRspjdkB
這裡的環境與微瀾記憶中的相差不遠，走廊的燈光依舊柔和，辦公區的擺設依舊井然有序，空氣裡還帶著些許咖啡與打印紙張的味道——這曾經是她最熟悉的氣息。78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWPmB40xNzD
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC0SkqpRF0H
但她知道，這裡的她，已經和三年前的自己不一樣了。78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrCF5HxZtTM
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm2IjzEPBis
「前面這區是資料室，你的辦公桌就在那邊，旁邊還空了一個位子，方便你放研究設備。」78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAUOn3wwy7W
蘇硯邊走邊解釋，隨手推開了一道門。78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe7REUdyk6U
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDOFr9Ub9fm
「進去吧，大家應該都在——」78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCKTXuVip5M
門一開，研究員們的視線齊刷刷地轉向門口，微瀾一時間還有些不習慣這樣的目光，微微頓了一下。78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHH5yzMliuc
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5NOqIN1TWb
「哦哦！學長說的新人來了？」78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBcfJkF363R
「是蘇教授的學妹吧？聽說在國外做了不少研究！」78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxqa4Kivzp6
「妳好！歡迎加入我們！」78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUhH9Mah4pn
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNl1EqODZ5I
微瀾還沒來得及說話，已經有人熱情地迎上來。78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFCNsMcqG2X
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxvclE7CNwI
她愣了愣，旋即微笑點頭：「大家好，我是微瀾，請多指教。」78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn2xLSkbhN1
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQgh7t59Eao
與她想像中不同，研究所的環境並沒有帶給她強烈的壓迫感，反而讓她有種難得的放鬆感。78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX9584DNOCa
她終於明白，這是因為——這一次，她是帶著選擇回來的，這裡，才是她想要的歸屬。78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhCA5W9sgBI
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡilU65VcAjA
「對了，等等蘇教授會帶妳熟悉幾個合作部門，尤其是……」78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9UEtUZX2xd
「許教授那邊吧？」78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAmFIAdjbXY
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWkBWs1SWTX
有人笑著接話：「畢竟未來很多研究案都會跟他那組對接。」78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSwvScVOFgT
微瀾正翻著資料的手微微一頓。78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm9pYsG9qIY
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLkUhn8MW8d
「啊，學妹你該不會還沒見過許教授吧？」78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEZhT1iKKNB
「你們說……許墨？」78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYV3aNsMGPN
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHSNJmxgQlC
微瀾低聲問，語氣雖然穩定，指尖卻輕輕收緊了一些。78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdZXe0jztPQ
「對啊，他這幾年帶的計畫挺多的，最近幾次的交叉合作，他們那組都在負責。」78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUvAuJYspq2
有人順口回應，沒注意到她的細微變化。78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtlSpK00PwY
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEu77FZ1fNL
「嗯……」微瀾垂下眼，輕輕摩挲著手中的筆。78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8ZGice6Rbm
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV5QSD5326I
這一刻，她知道——她終究還是要與他碰面的。78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ25sPdZzVMX
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRzo8mnLwCS
只是，這一次，主動選擇的人，是她。78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7yfZ0ol5X5
