又是一年的三月，春來時，梅雨季也隨之而來。80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ46HrGNMRsm
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9LfpSPHO0g
「呼……」80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmKfLaDW77r
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。80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWjxHgEsUPK
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoDLOllyrS7
這裡，是她曾經努力融入的世界，80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQkoICOOaKF
也是她曾經選擇離開的地方。80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhqrRn774HH
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡla1SSmmQCA
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。80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZhbESjCvjx
她想了想，最後，還是答應了。80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjesR6sUY4W
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFiIlJV84xr
今天，就是她正式加入的第一天。80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5smcw0oFk9
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ04LJPJ2OL9
「……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。80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpD7kjQuQRj
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhTKOt6crRT
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。80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgiA8b1IDJt
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxEfSoysoFJ
幸好，蘇硯的團隊氣氛與他本人並無二致——80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2lAcIDEETe
溫暖且熱情。80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDfWwK2MKUo
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvrubdmXjw6
這個地方，不再讓她感到陌生與不安。80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFXve6B4z9R
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjHXKuGXzam
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。80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeSt6g0Cuhq
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMchLTW7PFz
「哎，學妹來啦？」80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡERnuym7BZK
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。80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7WBQiT79nG
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5wJMORypVM
「學長，」她無奈地笑了笑，「你什麼時候改負責迎賓了？」80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR3OaTNc13N
「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，80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLAV4f7BhUL
「更何況…妳能算『賓』嘛。」80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDdujfBlgM0
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡurTtQtT5YC
「……學長，你是不是期望我現在轉頭就走？」80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb9W9FpYZko
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqcvX6f0qCH
「怎麼？要不要回頭？現在還來得及喔。」80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0TfNn2pU2C
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZOcb4PT5KP
「……你覺得我會嗎？」80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP9TxBZrpAi
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxHgCf3uLwR
「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』。」80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ4a6K0xyRS
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxfidur7oUU
微瀾無語地翻了個白眼，「學長…現在教授都像你這麼閒嗎？」80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXEoobyHoE3
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeLfWhyv1A8
「不閒啊，」蘇硯理所當然地說，「但來損妳幾句還是有點時間的。」80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdw7jXr5qgh
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5TcP0Fl4c5
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。」80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzcSsf3KLu7
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdp3Awj4Q5Z
微瀾接過識別證，別在腰間，便跟著蘇硯走進去。80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCzJfAt3UEZ
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJKBaPp8tKz
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdpyiFRV9cT
「走吧，該來認識一下你的新同事了。」80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy0HqsXESRT
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwIupA7I526
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。80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2rca73UNwZ
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAs7uJRvTb5
但她知道，這裡的她，已經和三年前的自己不一樣了。80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoUzYdSlyfh
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBOMklby5IR
「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。」80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCZW2HsIS6u
蘇硯邊走邊解釋，隨手推開了一道門。80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsF25t4vSPn
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLLzmgvKfNK
「進去吧，大家應該都在——」80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv2bxCtjnsK
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。80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQfWrU2Uwd7
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRvxIdAoNlK
「哦哦！學長說的新人來了？」80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoKeycCGoNk
「是蘇教授的學妹吧？聽說在國外做了不少研究！」80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIqvQGk7LY7
「妳好！歡迎加入我們！」80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG0LeTx9t1s
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk0PqNoo5om
微瀾還沒來得及說話，已經有人熱情地迎上來。80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRiuX6OsZGz
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsxjbCY6cdk
她愣了愣，旋即微笑點頭：「大家好，我是微瀾，請多指教。」80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnIt0I110NB
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBQgxa30QDx
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。80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡskviVToyy8
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。80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEWqj0FR9a9
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHAl4n3exSV
「對了，等等蘇教授會帶妳熟悉幾個合作部門，尤其是……」80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIF7YbV9zxL
「許教授那邊吧？」80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJqqiUkIDvA
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP1g8JW4ANp
有人笑著接話：「畢竟未來很多研究案都會跟他那組對接。」80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI8oDSUXuJx
微瀾正翻著資料的手微微一頓。80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhDOEy3TjvY
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh92hleaOrK
「啊，學妹你該不會還沒見過許教授吧？」80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg9r13Q47Vm
「你們說……許墨？」80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtAm8CeygEs
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxCLWSbvDgq
微瀾低聲問，語氣雖然穩定，指尖卻輕輕收緊了一些。80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQoXBAEtDJm
「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。」80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9DDh7FgFmN
有人順口回應，沒注意到她的細微變化。80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7EBSYbWCFH
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0LVDIwPsHK
「嗯……」微瀾垂下眼，輕輕摩挲著手中的筆。80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvye6Xxx8jl
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVeyrhjqcJN
這一刻，她知道——她終究還是要與他碰面的。80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdLq7DchzfN
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpFPCBR99qp
只是，這一次，主動選擇的人，是她。80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo6ZIA4Lb2h
