夜晚的雪靜靜落下，將整座城市覆上一層柔白。86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLcw4VHpurt
這是一場突如其來的雪，並不在天氣預報裡。地上的積雪尚淺，卻已足夠讓街燈的光折射出淡淡的銀輝。86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtRB5hMpCvO
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOwDMqx4Nlq
微瀾踩在雪地上，靜靜地走著，腳步放得很慢。86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpt2K28juIJ
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNo98mJmv7q
她回來，已經快兩年了。86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPp3SIagUUr
這段時間，她適應了新的研究環境，也重新融入這座城市的節奏。86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFeSheZcX6m
而她再次見到許墨，則是半年前的事。86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMSKCSz2Bta
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwQjjvAOg2d
這半年多來，他們並非完全沒有聯繫，偶爾會因為工作碰面，或者在學術會議上短暫交談。86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsUvcPkdiry
但他從未強求，也從未催促。86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZsaM004KSU
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdLa2GjCJ3E
就像現在，這是許墨第一次正式約她吃飯。86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡywokjZFkAS
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcNRK9RGoia
沒有刻意選擇什麼特別的地方，也沒有安排複雜的行程。86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBn1NDALrKB
他只是簡單地說：「一起吃晚餐吧。」86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFD6vGMtf1r
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpYfgPBfZZZ
就像過去無數個夜晚，他們結束一天的工作後，隨意挑間店坐下，像普通的戀人一樣，度過一個再平常不過的夜晚。86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsv8WROS4M8
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzi2lZd1KIy
但他們都知道，這次不同。86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtXcctBNgHj
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSm0EG6AHZ8
晚餐後，許墨沒有急著送她回去，而是提議散步。86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkuyqvioaX4
微瀾沒有拒絕，就這樣跟著他，走過熟悉的街道，走進這場未曾預料的雪夜。86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCSeEvYqNkb
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgsZjOUARqi
「有點冷。」微瀾輕輕呼出一口氣，看著白霧在空氣裡散開。86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDy5JLGlyMt
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD1qtGOhHT8
許墨微微側過身，視線落在她微微蜷縮的指尖。86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUVxEdVsPfP
他沒有說話，只是順勢將自己的圍巾解下，輕輕地替她圍上。86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRkGv2Ke3eR
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxlltDLjDic
「……你不冷？」微瀾偏頭看向他。86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhjvNtzkZlS
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyr4wmxNLpI
「還好。」他的語氣平靜，語速一如往常，卻帶著一絲淡淡的柔和。86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsoTBFoNzaE
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4Te1cssrap
微瀾沒有再說什麼，輕輕地拉了拉圍巾的邊角，感受著上面殘留的些許體溫。86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxEnnemZe5D
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbBcxzshIm3
這是一種陌生的親密感，像是過去，卻又比過去更接近，近到讓人無法忽視。86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpCbH8yWvP9
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuiaHjONPX9
許墨側過頭，看著她低垂的側臉，輕聲道：「這是妳回來後，第一次和我這樣散步。」86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh3jFYh4Xgx
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEmF8NJ0tCm
微瀾頓了一下，沒有否認。86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4V7eScwYqL
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx01peygOYj
畢竟重逢後，他們一直維持著微妙的距離，既不疏遠，卻也不曾像現在這樣走在一起。86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxo9UAqlfOe
許墨沒有催促她，也沒有刻意去製造「再一次」的開始。86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPncuk6hHWn
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ97fE8FH3rz
他就只是……陪著她。86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzBkD3RnWNV
讓她慢慢地去適應，慢慢地去思考，甚至——慢慢地去決定。86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ1kqOirPU4
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVNQ2aQsaG7
這樣的許墨，是過去從未有過的。86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD8VdsSjm4L
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsFGMxR76qP
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIIKNf5NoLD
「那天在機場，」他忽然低聲道，「我其實一直在等。」86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv0JbhSuXjK
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXXkFh68Gdj
「等什麼？」微瀾輕輕側過頭。86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡktg5SuI1LA
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGlp0N2MC74
「等妳帶著行李來找我。」他的語氣淡淡的，像是在陳述一件已成過去的事，「但妳沒帶。」86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcgbbQq6OXU
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTQ9fIUbb2D
微瀾微微睜大眼，指尖無意識地收緊了一瞬。86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvMGHJT46Ns
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP0BpsG99gB
「其實那天，當我看到妳空著手走來時，」許墨頓了一下，嘴角泛起一絲極淺的苦澀笑意，「我有一瞬間……想問妳是不是來告別的。」86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeyl1wHGubA
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡag2tMqMJc5
「……」微瀾低下頭，心裡莫名泛起一絲悶痛。86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3oyz6VAveq
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡttouCqZTij
她當時確實沒有想太多，甚至沒有意識到，自己空著手走進機場，對許墨來說意味著什麼。86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRTyOIejqyC
因為她當時的確還沒有決定——86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxn4EsPNQng
她還不確定，她是否準備好，再次選擇他。86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKEOVBUTRVO
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnYd0kSlNCX
「但後來呢？」她低聲問，「你還是沒有問。」86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCZdcBufraL
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq9ymeaGUO0
「因為妳來了。」許墨語氣輕柔，眼底浮現一抹淡淡的溫暖，「所以，不管是什麼答案，我都願意等。」86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0sKudYUEs4
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa9QVXpKjOX
微瀾的指尖微微顫了一下。86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ3oaQ6E0gj
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs9PBwGjmJm
這次的許墨，真的不同了。86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvJjY84lUuD
過去的他，習慣掌控所有變數，習慣在所有選擇裡找到「最優解」，但現在的他，卻能夠接受「未知」，甚至願意把選擇權完全交到她手上。86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5A2GGUhOWO
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF4srO9phun
她忽然覺得，心底某個角落被輕輕觸動了。86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡitgKap0WDx
——這樣的他，是她曾經不敢奢求的。86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkwRCWsc3Cy
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXGPWSyDBIq
她深吸了一口氣，停下腳步。86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuRbhRhohdm
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfwYNEcYT26
「許墨。」86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd0xBLciGrp
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9f0W5hTMno
他也隨之停下，看著她微微抬起頭，對上他的視線。86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxdK8kvNTBS
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLx7XX99a8q
「如果……」她的聲音輕得像是怕驚擾了什麼，「如果我說，我選擇你——」86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1Pv49j14S5
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKt09ulIKDr
她的話還沒說完，許墨的瞳孔微微一縮，下一秒，他已經猛然站起，將她緊緊擁入懷裡。86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7hwni1iKc7
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHulKjTSeLp
許墨的手指緊扣著她的背，指節微微泛白，像是要將她刻進生命裡。86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTfB1667NwK
他的呼吸微微顫抖，像是在壓抑某種深埋已久的情緒。86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCcloQCnUpF
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcPbsbHYmSN
那個力道，幾乎能將她完全鎖進他的世界裡。86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8Nhk8DTrrJ
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcc06ioIMwu
微瀾怔了一瞬，還沒來得及反應，便感覺到他的手緊緊地摟住了她，像是要確認她真真切切地站在這裡，而不是他一場過於美好的夢。86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk63yjOLX2d
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaY1Bh7bLoI
「微瀾……」他的聲音低啞，帶著極力壓抑的顫抖，「我等這句話，等了太久。」86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKG57PgSPZ5
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQuqE5R3p41
她沒有問他「還願不願意」。86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzZoCUk5AVa
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyVRrrAYnYu
因為她知道，這個問題根本不需要問。86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI2sjfUbM7D
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwTuPpkduBO
他沒有變過，從頭到尾，唯一在變的，只有她的選擇。86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTJeJXIo0vc
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkOLfQz0sOU
但這一次，是她真正選擇他。86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzuVo7WADx0
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIN14N2pBJF
微瀾感受到他懷抱的顫抖，終於，緩緩地，抬手回抱住他。86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9rJz5SVggr
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpduJfwyXU2
夜裡的雪仍在靜靜地落下，覆蓋住他們的腳印，像是將過去所有的遺憾，埋進這片純白之中。86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6swZYy4oSV
