「妳考這什麼分數！？」629Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXkIQHWSxC3
629Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5FIeTNtIIZ
一百年前，父親的書房內，十六歲的葛蕾絲．懷特（Grace White）像做錯事的犯人，站在拜占庭風格的米色地毯上，被人審問。629Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi5CkCX4pvj
629Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9vj8fzdQo5
「其它就算了，為什麼連英文都不及格？妳是在洛杉磯長大的，不是台北！」629Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqc98GBxm9z
629Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡePyFD9j3an
她的父親，她那在學術界赫赫有名的父親──阿道夫．懷特（Adolph White），收到女兒成績單的當下，差點氣到中風，血壓估計和葛蕾絲的成績單一樣，都是紅字。629Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ25rUtBbUsx
629Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAB8vZ8KoTH
「洛杉磯才不會用那些字。」629Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxgP1GHPyoh
629Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLvb8F5OKtc
葛蕾絲心想失算，自己每天守株待兔、打算攔截成績單，阿道夫卻私下聯絡學校，說成績單直接寄去他的研究室。果然，自己女兒在打什麼主意，父親都知道。629Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJqJ8MRRjX3
629Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfrbobUBUjc
「30名……班上才33個人，還有兩個生病缺考！」阿道夫繼續罵：「妳哥哥三年的排名加總，都沒這個數字大！」629Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo67mFbSjT0
629Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlVGuquq5vS
聽到「哥哥」兩字，葛蕾絲理智斷裂。她不是乖乖挨罵的類型，葛蕾絲反問父親：「你為什麼只看那張紙？我拳擊比賽拿金牌，你也沒稱讚一句！」629Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqC3QcDgj1L
629Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPyRQmNd6FV
「我沒有反對妳玩社團，但妳的身分是學生，不是職業選手。」阿道夫再罵：「妳不讀書，以後能幹什麼？當隻宅在家的阿米巴原型蟲、等著嫁人？妳也沒男朋友！」629Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdMURaStAx4
629Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFa6vw4mS6L
真是夠了。葛蕾絲握拳，忍住揍人的衝動，回了句：「難怪媽會跟你離婚！」氣得走出書房，甩門離開。629Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZsduAfdzww
629Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡibZuTiCE02
「讀書讀書讀書……除了拿我跟哥哥比較，那老頭還會幹什麼！」629Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAIOGVXNvco
629Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡygWuuCIYqg
回到自己房間，葛蕾絲從床底下拿出工具箱，拆開今天一早寄來的包裹。書桌上有她自己畫的設計圖，葛蕾絲只瞄一眼，便把設計圖扔到旁邊，將包裹裡的木材拿出來，開始組裝。629Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYUZx1Qv9LP
629Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCfs3dUxjZb
敲敲打打，一會兒用鐵鎚，一會兒用電鑽，還用鋸子慢慢割。葛蕾絲無師自通，年僅十六歲的她，廚藝、手作、木工、裁縫……什麼都會，儼然是個天才，就是不會讀書，也很討厭考試。629Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEXX85tOAG2
629Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfIlmb9hL9x
雖然父親是大學教授，但葛蕾絲不懂，課本寫的東西可以幹嘛？唸到高中，也不見哪一科的課本有寫「如何修電腦」、「如何煮一桌好菜」，一點也不實用。629Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHm6hlWpJZt
629Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK9ntUVrSj1
與其花錢，葛蕾絲寧可自己動手。因為沒有放獎盃的櫃子，她自己買材料、畫設計圖，不必擔心尺寸不合、需求不合，什麼都自己來。629Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡppiP015KNC
629Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ098xSzBmpk
「叩叩。」629Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhgwSkvW2AP
629Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCh9ukLkqfW
聽見敲門聲，葛蕾絲停下動作，走去開門。站在外面的人，有跟她一樣的銀白色頭髮，也有跟父親一樣的琉璃色眼睛。629Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhSNEB3ER41
629Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmrwhRo3oFq
「幹嘛？」629Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8xRQhfXpBY
629Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMuwAoi3Aga
葛蕾絲的口氣沒有很好，也沒有很糟。她高中練拳擊，剪了一頭很短的頭髮，只比哥哥的頭髮長一點。629Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe4v6Cp1tlK
629Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzsutfGCru9
「妳在做什麼？」629Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGo7PsaMxG1
629Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF31grJeuni
里奧．懷特（Leo White）──她那剛滿十八歲的哥哥，雖然有一張好看的臉，卻總是沒表情，也不怎麼笑。629Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8ls28RyEZO
629Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYnzeyraMlz
「我房間缺一個櫃子。」葛蕾絲再問一次：「你幹嘛？」629Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ11vacdU19C
629Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFfvrDwdpAo
瞄了眼房裡的半成品，里奧告訴她：「聲音很大，我在念書。」629Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8CXIZQmHgF
629Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq9EyyMiKkP
想起剛才和父親的對話，葛蕾絲莫名火大。629Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡROLKfYz4D8
629Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhJkR4a4Za4
「你不是有耳機？」629Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzeYhwEYs9d
629Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjvJiTUpWVU
「……。」629Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGDHnqwEhVm
629Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsHIzaovIxY
「這些工具就是這樣，會發出聲音，很吵。」629Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjdoivQDunv
629Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4IGwmr5uGp
葛蕾絲臉上寫著「你想怎樣」四個字。里奧沒有多說，默默走回自己房間，戴耳機，開音樂。629Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnsvIlH99fB
629Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfePzMFr0dM
關起房門，葛蕾絲繼續忙。她拿著螺絲起子，一邊鎖螺絲一邊想哥哥的事。629Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfVeQHk7znU
629Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5GEn4WT981
他們真的很不一樣。葛蕾絲不會讀書，里奧很會；葛蕾絲很愛講話，里奧不愛；葛蕾絲喜歡熱鬧，里奧討厭。要不是頭髮顏色，沒人相信他們是兄妹。629Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhmdwMGy9q4
629Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlLMK5fZRnf
打從小，還住在洛杉磯時，他們就知道彼此性格南轅北轍，生活圈也不同。葛蕾絲記得：她常和一群男孩踢足球，那時候的里奧會提著小提琴盒，從球場旁走過去。就算對上眼，兄妹倆也不會打招呼。629Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9yXxoqO3oq
629Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVmfLmWCJvQ
他們關係沒有不好，無論葛蕾絲用什麼口氣說話，里奧都沒有反應，要吵也吵不起來。與其說兄妹，更像不熟的室友，各過各的日子。629Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡACI8gY4Asy
629Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoXVQkvlFTD

「店長，下班的卡我先打，這十五杯外送完，我就順路回家囉。」629Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUVB1HlHsxm
629Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW5IbXOtpki
629Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlvnq5dyrgw
基於對父親的報復，和在洛杉磯養成的個人主義，葛蕾絲高中畢業沒有升學。她做過很多工作，速食店、冰淇淋店、文具店、飲料店……原本都是打工，但她機靈、學習力強、反應快，不管在哪工作，兩個月後都會升職，變成組長或轉為正職。629Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvSZAoa7dvD
629Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc4j3fqYwCk
比起念書，工作快樂多了。雖然會遇到白目的客人，但不用考試、不用去學校，努力賺錢再開心花掉，葛蕾絲很喜歡這樣的生活。629Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhmisZLZ4Fg
629Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdb1ZTVaPUH
載著十五杯飲料、騎著自己買的摩托車，葛蕾絲發現這次外送的地點，是哥哥讀的大學。里奧在學校頗有名氣，因為他成績好、獎學金領不完，還有那張臉──葛蕾絲承認，她哥哥確實很帥。可惜啊，連朋友都沒有的人，當然也沒有女朋友。629Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLzkfDx8mRN
629Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIS2ClGP9Be
「久等了，你的十五杯飲料。」629Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvkOor5Ex21
629Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKXVTAPuLHh
抵達學校側門，幸好叫外送的不是里奧，是一個身高偏矮、骨架很小的男同學，五官很秀氣。629Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOQAyVx8VYt
629Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡesQKNCwr4l
「謝謝。」629Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKRzQZLYlb1
629Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI1psqVBZE6
確認東西沒問題，男同學沒有離開，反而盯著葛蕾絲的臉。她覺得奇怪，開口問：「怎麼了嗎？」629Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvTWgb6t3Lj
629Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD16EFjK97m
那位同學歪頭。他有一雙漂亮的、灰色的眼睛，卻始終半開，還有淡淡的黑眼圈，一副想睡的臉，感覺很慵懶。629Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZZayN89kHe
629Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr2t4n8B7jJ
「妳是里奧的妹妹嗎？」629Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVu4fIT1Xkc
629Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWhuCpEdIcZ
葛蕾絲嚇一跳，但冷靜想，自己的髮色並不常見，聯想到里奧很正常。629Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH0JYFr8HlG
629Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGtmarCvKsp
「你認識我哥？」葛蕾絲沒有否認，反問對方。629Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvXnetDOpK4
629Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcvEIsJvI2B
「嗯。」灰眼睛的人點頭，「他是我朋友。」629Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx8PnkbpH8B
629Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM7G5oVMstV
「他有朋友……！」629Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsjqcPzvlSf
629Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0jMJnhDbMx
葛蕾絲不小心說出真心話。灰眼睛的人一聽，輕輕笑了兩聲，表示：「你們真的很不像。」629Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDaWZC7CFj8
629Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBMDsme3ujL
「除了頭髮顏色，我們沒有一個地方像。」629Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7xxCI4K3n0
629Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYaiiL0N5sT
里奧的朋友，這種稀有亞種不能隨便錯過。葛蕾絲自我介紹：「我叫葛蕾絲，你呢？」629Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpD0eGDKVrR
629Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9P3jjK0hnI
「『高宇維』。」灰眼睛的人停頓一秒，又說一次：「妳可以叫我高宇維。」629Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMorq6lDOAa
629Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk3Wuh5dqjp
猶如平行線的兄妹，竟然因為高宇維出現交點。高宇維邀請葛蕾絲：「交誼廳離這不遠，要不要陪我聊聊？」629Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCHJD03Vn6o
629Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQQs4iizpqt
「你的飲料……」629Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmnlfWC17NC
629Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMXesC616H5
「十五杯都是我的。」629Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhRv5Z55XWv
629Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAKxmJae6l0
葛蕾絲一愣，「你一個人喝十五杯？」629Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkURTssGN6s
629Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGjCKIK8E01
高宇維不覺得奇怪，「走吧，我們去吹冷氣。」629Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUmt09nY3vm
629Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8VRwRVvPZY
說完，高宇維帶葛蕾絲，來到擺著沙發，還有一整面落地窗的交誼廳。他們挑一張沙發坐下，高宇維拿出吸管開喝，也分一杯給葛蕾絲。629Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMGR6mIgmdl
629Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN94ZwEfv1D
「謝啦。」629Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6VEwbOXNYE
629Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZS75GqotOV
葛蕾絲舒服地靠著沙發。剛下班，她確實需要放鬆，沙發冷氣飲料，簡直絕配。629Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpglNWb1IL5
629Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0IhWDjf1zA
「里奧今天課很滿，應該沒空過來。」高宇維喝著紅茶說。629Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5vhf2JPVSu
629Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNVVwHjkyu8
「你們怎麼認識的？」葛蕾絲忍不住問。629Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ62WyNO5S2q
629Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgtdYGRY1XP
「一堂無聊的通識課，和一份無聊的分組報告。」高宇維回想，「報告題目是……我忘了，好像和在地文化有關。我們去台中實地考察，莫名其妙就混熟了。」629Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6eTiRwbJPB
629Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNzds6Vxgix
里奧跟人旅行的畫面……葛蕾絲好難想像。他哥哥左看右看，都不像有趣的旅伴。629Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3V0HhroGBj
629Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHTcxDUgVQb
「他很常提到妳。」629Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlbIKsBWP5y
629Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZUdL5p6RnY
高宇維突然迸出一句。葛蕾絲滿頭問號，「啊？」629Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYj17OvzUM1
629Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMuyoR0Ine4
「我們在台中吃了很多甜食，蛋糕、蛋捲、蛋塔……之類的。」高宇維說：「每吃一種，他的回饋都是『我妹做的比較好吃』。」629Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuXtAwEru0X
629Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeF5nQpVfuK
「……！」629Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdelKDj16gu
629Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3zvT10v1Cn
葛蕾絲睜大眼睛。不僅如此，高宇維還說：「看到健身房的專業教練，他也說『我妹比較厲害』、『我妹是全國冠軍』。」629Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNxYxlKKgZ7
629Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqynXh1L7mV
「……。」629Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo60ZMPSbSu
629Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqYNF08stE6
「去很多地方、遇到任何狀況，他的開頭都是那幾句。」高宇維細數：「『這個我妹做過』、『這個我妹很擅長』、『我妹做的比較好』、『我妹一定知道怎麼辦』……他覺得妳很厲害。某種層面上，他其實很依賴妳。」629Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVulfJuC3wJ
629Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWZ2qxVIlBu
「……。」629Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4BpQkK8n6B
629Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcJ22BYXD8v
葛蕾絲驚訝到說不出話。629Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRHQjr8LPNL
629Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOit2db6taG
他的哥哥──那個很少講話、面無表情、各方面都很優秀的哥哥，竟然覺得她很厲害。629Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKBtbw3X1lw
629Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC85f2dzOuy
「我們幾乎不交談。」葛蕾絲感到愧疚，「『為什麼妳哥可以，妳就不行？』我爸的起手式都是這句。」629Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6U7yQzQ19Q
629Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXmy7zrdvi8
「嗯，他知道。」高宇維正在喝第二杯，「他以為妳討厭他。」629Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZBF5doMc8e
629Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡID0F9n5ykF
「我沒有。」葛蕾絲澄清：「我們只是不熟，我也以為他瞧不起我。」629Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZyXbXX1Amn
629Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXPw4NQsKjf
「沒這回事。」高宇維微笑，「他不擅長開話題。如果妳主動跟他說話，他會很高興。」629Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1wgPQ8dbxV
629Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOvYgLCmeKd
葛蕾絲瞄了眼高宇維。這人雖然一臉沒睡飽，卻散發一股神秘的、古典的氣質。能跟里奧當朋友，果然不是凡人。629Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUEKEX47Dgd
629Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRRtxr0UkBU
閒話家常後，葛蕾絲和高宇維道別，一個人騎著摩托車。父親不在家，里奧在學校，葛蕾絲幫自己做了頓晚餐；但不到九點，她又餓了，正思考要煮什麼來吃，大門開啟，里奧背著書包走進來，兩人對上視線。629Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5bi0IVTahg
629Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrUadVefjQf
「……。」629Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcuGMZgXZNe
629Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0Orh57oMAV
里奧和平常一樣，很快就把視線移開。葛蕾絲主動問：「你有吃晚餐嗎？」629Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3dNyJNm91T
629Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6DfDrdhBUP
里奧微愣。他回頭，葛蕾絲把好不容易留長的頭髮紮起來，走向流理臺。629Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKjxUQA1PqR
629Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuRNiFg7dej
「我要煮宵夜。」葛蕾絲問：「你要吃嗎？」629Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡASfMeZaL72
629Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsbWnKndXEU
「要。」里奧一秒回答，還點餐：「拉麵。」629Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJjkuKcSuAj
629Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhkJJZCqh1b
「好啦好啦。」629Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv7a3YMUkLe
629Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNC5QP32oY1
葛蕾絲的動作很快，沒多久，兩碗足以登上美食雜誌的拉麵被端上桌。他們久違坐在一起吃飯，儘管里奧還是一號表情，但葛蕾絲感覺得出，他哥哥心情不錯。629Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjXzvynWqZe
629Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBXvT7maOTD
「我今天遇到你朋友。」629Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsDRD2Nuy5i
629Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOAzzwRj7D3
葛蕾絲負責開話題。里奧問她：「誰？」629Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwNSspG5HPG
629Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9vSPmFEIoc
「你不是只有一個朋友？」629Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCMgGoTZtsp
629Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI1cybTRPWC
葛蕾絲這話是無心的，但里奧聽了很受傷，澄清：「還有小提琴社的。」629Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoUEOVZfpht
629Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPVIOQo5JMs
葛蕾絲笑了笑，「名字是高宇維，一個人叫了十五杯飲料。」629Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLB0cahuosp
629Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcm564vObed
里奧翻白眼。葛蕾絲覺得好有趣，原來哥哥有這種表情。629Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqJldPxFan3
629Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlNANsxEqnc
「他每天都這樣。」里奧一臉無奈，「講也講不聽。」629Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkvcVIDF3YI
629Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWTjmrH5Jju
「每天！？」葛蕾絲驚呼：「不會得糖尿病嗎？」629Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFZ10SXW598
629Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrYyl9SejAH
「……如果可以，他早就得了。」629Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfuo20J69W2
629Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfcqu7c7Xa9
葛蕾絲正要問什麼意思，里奧突然說：「妳不覺得他很像巨嬰嗎？」629Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK42GqkLsGk
629Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa5cUDse1zd
「巨嬰？？？」葛蕾絲滿頭問號。629Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyY0m27W67m
629Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfIa4wUiyZO
「我跟他去台中，如果沒抓好，他會被夜市的人潮沖走。」里奧細數高宇維的荒謬事跡：「解不開打結的耳機、找不到公車站牌、衣服裡外穿反、吃不出貢丸和魚丸的差別……他能活這麼大，簡直是奇蹟。」629Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡurNRYUrT4y
629Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo9wZK2sMcF
「哈哈哈！」629Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1Y6chcnyc4
629Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZd7Tqh1RTn
高宇維的奇葩行徑，加上里奧的口氣和表情，葛蕾絲忍不住大笑。能當里奧的朋友，高宇維果然不是凡人。629Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdRk3NH91uG
629Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡry1U0g2zKh
和里奧一起吃飯，葛蕾絲發現：拋開無意義的顧慮後，她能用一種自在的方式和哥哥相處。里奧沒有想像中冷淡，和葛蕾絲一起時很放鬆，因為妹妹什麼都會──確實，某種層面上，他很依賴葛蕾絲。629Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTEQxfk7Au5
629Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkEbj7ZJhE0
「你最近有看到老爸嗎？」629Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJoiRRtb5TB
629Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOaG54X11Zs
餐後，里奧幫忙洗碗，葛蕾絲問起阿道夫的事。629Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3fvaTFigOG
629Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡamiSf8qE7P
「沒有。」里奧表示：「他似乎很忙。」629Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP6STM5yW4w
629Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5q1tWGtozv
「忙到不用回家？已經兩個禮拜了耶！」629Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2LtIbieeUL
629Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqR3YGgYOMt
葛蕾絲一說，洗好碗的里奧微愣，反問葛蕾絲：「這麼久？」629Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEJxsURqOaj
629Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmA7gQHZTtR
「我前陣子都晚班。打烊後，我去夜市晃三圈、買東西吃，再加上洗澡、吹頭髮、滑手機……每天三點睡覺，我也沒見他回來。」葛蕾絲說：「我以為他白天會回家，晚上才出門。」629Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2bJHjxKvDr
629Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6197qfuqIV
「不，我白天也沒看到他。」里奧說：「我以為他晚上回家，白天出門。」629Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9TAD1ycljT
629Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWyM4onW5OC
雖然稱不上感情好，但對方是父親，他們或多或少會擔心。629Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPUPpHlxjQU
629Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc0qgfWTFji
「依他那種性子，在路上被學生蓋布袋，也不是不可能。」葛蕾絲說。629Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw5Mi0izEDz
629Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrvi5LwNXPd
「就算是，他也不會輸，爸可是跆拳道黑帶。」629Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf0aEcJ4Gh1
629Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKMYKcFYnI2
他們試著聯絡，手機卻顯示通話失敗，訊息也都未讀。為了找線索，里奧和葛蕾絲來到父親的書房，葛蕾絲打開阿道夫的電腦，她不知道密碼，但思考三秒、輸入一串數字，竟然成功解鎖，里奧覺得不可思議。629Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡopOAo6Heoe
629Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyj0JaFVanb
「妳怎麼知道？」里奧問。629Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi9Rh8qqk8N
629Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ89suiPK8z2
「他這麼自戀，又懶得記這些東西，密碼一定是他考上哈佛那天，我太了解他了。」629Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4k2psqZ3U9
629Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq8pCxdBqt4
葛蕾絲點開阿道夫的信箱，收件匣很正常，但機靈的葛蕾絲點開「垃圾桶」，發現一封主旨奇怪的信件，寄件人寫著沒看過的名字：白絃。629Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡroOtmngmD1
629Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6oM1WWF30t
「『奎茵博士（Dr. Quinn）的遺願』……這是什麼？」629Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡstEPQMaNHI
629Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwFP9zZ3Lt1
兄妹倆互看一眼，隨後，葛蕾絲點開郵件。看完內容，里奧瞪大雙眼，難得露出緊張的表情，跟葛蕾絲說：「車借我，宇維有危險！」629Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNj8Ko7c5tx
629Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpF2m0rp2Ju
「……！？」629Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmjpOMqpkbk
629Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1mQ203Gdni
雖然看不懂信件內容，但里奧這麼慌張，葛蕾絲知道事情不簡單，起身表示：「我也要去！」629Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUEpVUdJtEx
629Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcDtTvEIhbv

里奧只猶豫一秒，隨後，他示意葛蕾絲跟上。兩人衝向電梯、直奔停車場，忘記關掉阿道夫的電腦，螢幕停在郵件內容，上面寫著：629Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVK6d4MHJus

您好，我是奎茵博士的研究助理，我叫作白絃。629Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQtKUS0WJir
很遺憾，如主旨所述，奎茵博士已經去世。博士曾經交代：如果她來不及完成，希望您能接手她的水果塔實驗。629Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEE5uREAl9C
然而，我根據博士留下的資料，已經獨自完成實驗，成功創造了「艾莉絲」。有關艾莉絲的後續研究，我獨自一人無法完成，希望能得到您的協助。629Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmBJ67aR0ly
另外，我無法掌握一些水果塔的動向。紅心傑克、睡鼠、書蟲、瘋帽、笑臉、黛娜、三月兔──如果您有以上七位水果塔的消息，再麻煩您告訴我，我會將他們帶回艾莉絲身邊。629Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDfyjQeSI9u
附件是我的聯絡方式，期待收到您的回覆，謝謝。629Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ56r2pvFnGc
