男人冷漠的身影從車裡下來，純白的襯衫和黑色的褲子此刻顯得格外冷硬。326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp1I1jQn0GE
326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxkVaSkOq4h
「乖兒子！」婦人上前迎接，一臉高興，「我可終於盼到你回來了。」326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH3b9TQ63Zb
326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMmUgqSUUgg
他冷著一張臉，微微頷首示意。326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8O0PMjKxbj
326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5izR2E3whv
婦人朝後頭站在車旁另一個略胖的男人親切地說，「蔡先生也一起進來吧！這大除夕的，就不要自己一個吃飯了。」326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRfqgRTfeFe
326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDjKKYtZk5Z
「不用不用！李夫人您太客氣了。」男人乾笑著擺手，「我待會兒就開車回老家，後天再回來接阿凡。」326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡknL4jnxEMs
326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMLFqeor7ZB
「這樣。」婦人一臉可惜，但沒挽留，「那好，預祝你新年快樂啊！路上小心！」326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqAkZMG7cW0
326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtImKCNJCmo
「謝謝李夫人！你們也是！」男人趕忙告別，「阿凡我先走了，後天再見！」326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb55vui91uw
326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVLn35NQSJk
然後閃身躲進車裡。326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMrYlrFHhXf
326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXMxLfnQKJm
冷淡的男人無甚表情，轉身走進屋裡，婦人也趕快跟上。326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEGWNBX1i21
326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE2JcCEuyg5
兩人經過客廳，往飯廳走時，婦人小心翼翼地問，「那個⋯⋯小林沒跟你一起回來嗎？」326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡln7rDhsgct
326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ7ty4Ld6L7
「回自己家了。」326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4i4NDXDE2M
326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIr60TqLMnz
「啊⋯⋯這樣。」婦人放鬆了點神情，「待會兒你爸有件事跟你商量⋯⋯不是甚麼大事，就是⋯⋯反正你先聽聽，別太緊張，也別跟你爸慪氣。」326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEBn6UUo2E8
326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPCp5GLDC7J
他沒有答話。326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5Rp2WoIz9u
326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTaIg5Lhu8E
飯廳裡另一個中年男人已經就坐，神情嚴肅。326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdAKGAIORFl
326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWLt4P93lE9
男人淡漠地頷首打招呼。326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS195l9MTi4
326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ82kCrZxFCX
「嗯。」中年男人沉著臉應了一聲，「坐吧。」326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOnDCJKzCI2
326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTdVMmk6iU9
傭人把菜都上齊後退了出去，三人默然開動，餐桌上只剩零星碗筷碰撞的聲音。326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRo2cxcrbiF
326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9B2NIz8Fbc
吃了一半，中年男人放下了筷子，向著年輕男人說，「給你跟林家的外孫女安排了見面，記得把時間空下。」326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡezp0IwU4PD
326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡub9G5ul3Y5
年輕男人看了自家母親一眼，想到她剛才的囑咐，壓下想說的話，隨意嗯了一聲。326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXau4edjKpC
326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcti3zNck7p
「打算甚麼時候回去西班牙？」326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMPF9pXjAB4
326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqD7F3gyDc6
年輕男人邊吃邊冷淡地說，「沒有計畫。」326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLWQoo9Ibam
326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlN9fJ0x3QG
中年男人眉頭深鎖，「甚麼？」326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ0YunxAYEs
326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1q7u1fnRJI
「我會繼續留在國內踢足球。」326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiotceSsgmV
326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqi6GIThaxo
「你是說這個賽季之後，你還要繼續留在新鳴？」326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgXsOiUtvh2
326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5t1UOVO74T
「對。」326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR2jsgqv4GU
326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTTmaNQGCZe
「所以，」中年男人的語氣都變了，「你要繼續踢乙級？」326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvg1IuPiy0d
326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe3l3cbPxpP
「贏了冠軍，就會去A隊踢甲級。」326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIp1POUmYSJ
326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsyREnareV6
「現在問題是這個嗎？」中年男人厲聲說道，「這裡的A隊跟西班牙的A隊能一樣嗎！你是不是燒壞了腦子！」326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡySSSZ92zq8
326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSP5VM5KEqy
「老公別激動⋯⋯我們說好跟孩子心平氣和地說的⋯⋯」婦人焦心地在旁邊勸說。326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYkgfMXgJpx
326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcB6ruNiO3p
中年男人不管妻子的勸說，大怒拍桌，「李與凡你給我清醒一點！我花這麼多心力栽培你踢足球，就是為了讓你在這種三流球隊踢這種不入流的比賽嗎？！」326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6XxDJbXMe1
326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0AfX6zMUMw
李與凡依舊冷漠，緩緩放下了筷子，抬頭看向自己的父親，「我很清楚自己在做甚麼。」326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkdOzBjAyXZ
326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡICPXx0YhFt
李父怒然看著他，胸口起伏。326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG1cykWDU3Z
326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡegQOjNJIBL
李與凡目光深深，面容不變。326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy0Hm5efdfw
326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFQo4MYQrv3
「我會證明，我今天得到的一切，都不是靠誰給的。」326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRzPktImaps
326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXd0dfcExfb
326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiF8u4zSspv
326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNku01e0ySL

326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbBjKmPsRRB
326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmk2gnHClsq
326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs99aOHQB2L
另一邊廂，林家四合院老宅外。326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmn7NWw38fW
326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1ybjjefZWH
從南翠球場開車趕回來的林經陽，在大宅門口跟自己的父母會合。326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJJcMRimq1I
326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqkWPysqoTa
他母親趕忙抓著他的手臂，「怎麼樣？有沒有請周總一起來過年？」326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBePswNG26X
326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZjuXErNJ2l
林經陽無奈，怎麼自家母親第一件事是關心周諾寧，「沒有。」326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMq09YbwA9j
326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdn4rxPYdVm
「這樣⋯⋯」林母擔憂地說，「你表妹出了那樣的醜事，聽說本家是不想我們回來的⋯⋯本來想說如果能把周總請來⋯⋯唉，也不知道他們是怎麼個態度⋯⋯」326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm3JD7rB1Di
326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSIQX6mnq9c
「沒事。」林經陽安撫，「反正總歸得有人代表回來露個臉，我們低調一點就好，老人家們應該不會說甚麼的。」326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQULjpONiSg
326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGeMkUJJHeg
林父點點頭，「今年說是統一去正院問安，待會兒你自己進去打個招呼吧，我跟你媽在偏院待著。」326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡffnwfzukQA
326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLyBviXjBdr
「嗯，我知道了。」326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGKH5z6GfAp
326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbUvISb2WLW
穿過四合院的廣亮大門，迎接的傭人一個帶著林氏夫婦前去偏院，另一個則帶著林經陽到了正院，停在中堂的門邊請他進去。326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnBelCVnKob
326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjTBdHtb34l
林經陽頓下腳步，看了裡面熟悉又遙遠的建築一圈，才緩慢地跨過門檻，進入屬於主人之家的中堂。326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpAJZt4j0Dp
326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzoSN1KgPHR
他走到中央的八仙桌，依次給坐在兩旁的長輩一一問好，幾位老人家都很有默契地沒有多提他表妹的事。326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmDhqYJ8Fjl
326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZH2oBLgyMM
例行公事辦妥後，他便打算回去偏院找他父母，回頭就看到剛跨進門檻的熟悉身影。326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlCYRAJUUly
326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwSdCzv43Gz
林經陽上前朝男人笑著打招呼，「好久不見。」326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9VU7lPJoPn
326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbF2NQaIxfZ
「嗯。」男人慵懶地插著口袋，「你父母呢？」326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡThBEg3SJIr
326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJNvmXirBba
「在偏院，我也正打算過去找他們。」326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx4JVqRn6Ef
326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzF0aQgwVjG
「請他們也過來吧，今年整個家族都在正院吃飯。」326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4cj9CuSFyP
326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHkfMDuM159
林經陽略為驚訝，「我以為⋯⋯只是讓我們進來打個招呼。」326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSd59bYfNnG
326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWPDXfhZe9E
男人扯著唇，「那些不合時宜的規條，也該是時候廢掉了。」326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY56KYQifHD
326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxjSsrJD0tv
林家的正統血緣是百年貴冑，歷史僅次於皇族之後的上官家，所以很多傳統守舊的規條一直流傳至今，例如林經陽這些旁支出身的族人，以前是絕對沒法踏進中堂半步的。326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNTsnCuMGp5
326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOyWxdkyDfu
不過去年林家新任掌陀人上場後，好些舊規矩就被逐一廢除。326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL2tVZgpc8h
326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj8O1M8Xgng
林經陽笑了笑，看向不遠處正在和小孩子打鬧的年輕女孩，「看來你家裡那位對你影響蠻大的。」326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfNvj1kT3uq
326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwJFVXXUUxN
男人勾了勾唇，不置可否，唯獨落了女孩身影的眼神裡，多了一層冷硬中的柔和。326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhlFnQXefr9
326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSo7Ab9oL5I
林經陽看了看四周，「你妹妹呢？還在國外嗎？」326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtsEFQvBcp9
326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcUgVdY4J5p
「嗯。大概是在西班牙太快活吧，說是作業趕不上不能回來，等到年末的時候再看看。」男人神情鬆弛，「反正她被關在這裡太久，也需要多點自由，就任由我爸媽嘮叨去了。」326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFgdzi1tayS
326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlNCy3gBadJ
林經陽失笑，很明白他說的意思，「看這樣子，再過幾年，你父母該給她安排婚事了。」326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqdClGwssxG
326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6fygBztdLk
「就是啊⋯⋯」男人若有所思，想到那條他還沒能改變的規條，「父母之命，媒妁之言⋯⋯看似天經地義，但誰又真的那麼幸運，能被安排遇上那個最適合的人選。」326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4ktrZ0m1NO
326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjIdbC1IoL9
林經陽笑著抬頭看天，頭一次有些慶幸自己是出身自旁支，「看來出身正統，也未必永遠都是好事。」326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzcMuISP4eV
326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8AvasanDIO
他家的公司是服裝界的龍頭企業，以前同學總把他當成小太子爺，百般討好奉承，令他總有種優越感，自認出身不錯，足以讓人稱羨。326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ74BNpi9u5
326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUfNeF0CkDF
可是當他母親總抓著他切切教誨，叮囑他一定要努力學習，拼命發奮圖強，絕不能讓林家那群人瞧不起他時，他慢慢搞不懂他爸媽到底還有甚麼不滿足。326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKpkoR8TO6v
326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtaP0hhNz4C
當他漸漸長大，學會觀言察色，才赫然發現在他名字裡的「林」，跟別家小孩的那個「林」，原來還可以如此差天共地。326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh4bzWeJnSw
326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9Wyey20k0j
百年家族林氏，身為四大貴族之一，有座寬大的四合院大宅，代表著林氏悠久且堅毅不屈的歷史，是整個家族的根基和象徵。326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpMQG3s58JO
326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ39bzHJ2n4l
能在裡面生活、奔跑、長大，是一種身分的肯定，而繼承它的人就有如擁有天下。326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcyPPqhbxP8
326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxavXT9iqAv
可裡面天地再大，卻永遠都不會有屬於他和他家人的位置，他們只是這遼闊庭院裡，可有可無的青草綠葉。326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwGcnD4lNlW
326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAW0X6JM3YS
他們必須要存在，卻又要像不存在那樣謹言慎行。326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtmAireHK0Y
326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8gm4r6v4aP
從那時林經陽才明白，原來他們沒有的東西，還有這麼多。326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmaDPnPFK2t
326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxpjWgrAblB
真正令人稱羨，擁有一切光環的，是站在祭壇最前一列，牽著太老爺的手，在眾人的目光之中上前拜祭的一人。326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa97O3bvJNm
326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlMuTaBlEm3
而那人，就是面前這個與他年紀相仿，卻已經是林氏現任當家的天之驕子，林景軒。326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡktgRN0Uo8M
326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSsOiK2Q3IK
「是嗎？」林景軒挑眉回視過去，「那你擁有身為旁支的自由，讓你選擇到了你想要的人了嗎？」326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeKB1h5qb2r
326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl7MPCjFZ12
林經陽遙望遠方，神情意味深長，「選⋯⋯當然能選了。」而後又笑著自嘲，「只是⋯⋯那個選擇並沒有選擇我而已。」326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvdNBm7kR9o
326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6JE4PgwXg2
林景軒勾唇，「看來周家大小姐眼高於天的傳聞，倒也不假。」326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIyZXOgcQ3a
326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL0R5I0YeOW
「眼高於天嗎⋯⋯」林經陽輕笑了聲，曾經也以為是自己配不上她，「或許只是她心裡面，本身就沒有所謂的標準。」326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNK9bSQC4KJ
326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3pofsUfJEi
林經陽很確定，即使過去一年荊棘滿途，歷經許多不必要的跌宕起伏，此刻的周諾寧，正在度過她人生中最快樂的春節。326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhsPZSWIRoD
