又是一年的三月，春來時，梅雨季也隨之而來。79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTIaZDxXsCg
79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW8z47izUVg
「呼……」79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZhtymIbQcY
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。79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQLaVOQl9E6
79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTFNizuZFBT
這裡，是她曾經努力融入的世界，79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhBTgyoBiSD
也是她曾經選擇離開的地方。79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcvopmfuw6E
79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡID6Oq7qTnq
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。79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWFnJk2kJyI
她想了想，最後，還是答應了。79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr5qopNAaGH
79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3HRctXMzX7
今天，就是她正式加入的第一天。79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmijY6gZTNk
79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY3nKwDGqYm
「……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。79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡibWmcDjR7W
79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHEtRNlY7k3
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。79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv3oCrfR9sy
79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfCAwaLaUQL
幸好，蘇硯的團隊氣氛與他本人並無二致——79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmXsimsxOGa
溫暖且熱情。79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRYpmusGv7V
79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6Pkt6P8rAZ
這個地方，不再讓她感到陌生與不安。79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEo2L8mfL3P
79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX9ijSVi4Ks
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。79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKKus5O4JYZ
79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRVHLZz0BUb
「哎，學妹來啦？」79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5iMQ4Rh1QA
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。79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRVSgfChTsF
79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgIL5uzVv2A
「學長，」她無奈地笑了笑，「你什麼時候改負責迎賓了？」79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq7E5xowOyF
「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，79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPFSCXgDF0k
「更何況…妳能算『賓』嘛。」79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJkwVbn3S2h
79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ66ZlHWoxFa
「……學長，你是不是期望我現在轉頭就走？」79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwPrFlt6hIe
79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMf3BSeFnJk
「怎麼？要不要回頭？現在還來得及喔。」79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk0K1wDoirY
79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6XILvFDtyi
「……你覺得我會嗎？」79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡInLIVzaVIM
79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlU5sRgREQJ
「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』。」79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP7Cm1EImYQ
79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs8YhVqqDRE
微瀾無語地翻了個白眼，「學長…現在教授都像你這麼閒嗎？」79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCDGN8bfIsk
79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡooGX7HAsbs
「不閒啊，」蘇硯理所當然地說，「但來損妳幾句還是有點時間的。」79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQZXYAbWk5C
79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡibzFFz7GDg
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。」79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8oLFEY5NLa
79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJzEbeUeb4N
微瀾接過識別證，別在腰間，便跟著蘇硯走進去。79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡex9NopDFxJ
79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB6aCqSQ5DL
79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡilojEpbLvM
「走吧，該來認識一下你的新同事了。」79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMEj51Q6mDZ
79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6YYwbzCPCO
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。79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw7WPuWgSiR
79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCnt5E5lw9a
但她知道，這裡的她，已經和三年前的自己不一樣了。79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl352Xf11ft
79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1rxIjgXODh
「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。」79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZofhVwz4tr
蘇硯邊走邊解釋，隨手推開了一道門。79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY1B0wI5FSU
79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsMdOnCG43W
「進去吧，大家應該都在——」79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuaP2MTmxI7
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。79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNNWkk7JB80
79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyOP0kWHahg
「哦哦！學長說的新人來了？」79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNOzHgzbSiL
「是蘇教授的學妹吧？聽說在國外做了不少研究！」79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2HZNkSLONV
「妳好！歡迎加入我們！」79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtqP6s49H2s
79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5TIL89q0dE
微瀾還沒來得及說話，已經有人熱情地迎上來。79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm6hvAbURtg
79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4LLU4MfrK2
她愣了愣，旋即微笑點頭：「大家好，我是微瀾，請多指教。」79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmXgZLAzfRI
79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD2c4LORizd
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。79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPMBLBjwKZs
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。79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEbtFy6ed3K
79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdFWsCA9msb
「對了，等等蘇教授會帶妳熟悉幾個合作部門，尤其是……」79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6oeL4dtQKD
「許教授那邊吧？」79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBGq9kYssIn
79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK9UnzS2X7q
有人笑著接話：「畢竟未來很多研究案都會跟他那組對接。」79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU0kd49hz5r
微瀾正翻著資料的手微微一頓。79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcCbxTYtmcA
79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOGuz3vOwtF
「啊，學妹你該不會還沒見過許教授吧？」79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtngeOjnBpA
「你們說……許墨？」79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrP1MsNyS2r
79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡovw2l1orMQ
微瀾低聲問，語氣雖然穩定，指尖卻輕輕收緊了一些。79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ6Foguzlt0
「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。」79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ156eH0YcH9
有人順口回應，沒注意到她的細微變化。79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7VpCcUoipy
79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrQlKxmWTjN
「嗯……」微瀾垂下眼，輕輕摩挲著手中的筆。79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1dmSAKlIDN
79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡry9MbqkOX0
這一刻，她知道——她終究還是要與他碰面的。79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD3KlZXT0wu
79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaVV20df4Hg
只是，這一次，主動選擇的人，是她。79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwNQbosduwE
