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。281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmNSzeviB2q
281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgYuxclyUVM
「乖兒子！」婦人上前迎接，一臉高興，「我可終於盼到你回來了。」281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEPawKwY127
281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3kePkLTdGF
他冷著一張臉，微微頷首示意。281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡulQKXz6eit
281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrFCgMgEmUi
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。」281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXzwvXVDv6Z
281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4EEXbw5Qm5
「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。」281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOHOWc3WTuY
281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4YnT7KiB1y
「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！」281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX6PO0SXxiZ
281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzZEeuWqNjr
「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！」281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsUDCLxGBjR
281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM2Olg5wXyt
然後閃身躲進車裡。281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIPt1dcawKT
281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw2fPvKuRJp
冷淡的男人無甚表情，轉身走進屋裡，婦人也趕快跟上。281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCcvJQELhR3
281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrzhtbLVGlj
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？」281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI44GtoXdju
281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw04SRjrDCX
「回自己家了。」281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEIZOTWbUMh
281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaW0BqUGhQs
「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。」281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQuhVdqurhO
281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjSFfaltyOH
他沒有答話。281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnWpZ2PFhuB
281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnjmR7f81KB
飯廳裡另一個中年男人已經就坐，神情嚴肅。281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvvfPsfCuai
281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0hCC0gJ6Io
男人淡漠地頷首打招呼。281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8bZObg5g1U
281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD1l16hAbu2
「嗯。」中年男人沉著臉應了一聲，「坐吧。」281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwEJG8fK92x
281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9NRGoFQ4tw
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。281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzD6AJf1cJB
281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtgpYI3H9Mw
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。」281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh2F7zmF3NO
281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkhR3DMa6lv
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。281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX8I12qD3OP
281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzItZ0LJ90J
「打算甚麼時候回去西班牙？」281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz7jeqymJob
281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvoOvMDvvR9
年輕男人邊吃邊冷淡地說，「沒有計畫。」281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnAFiVL0RBE
281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlVkY71YBoQ
中年男人眉頭深鎖，「甚麼？」281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ3LFB98l3V
281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRMWdjGC0I4
「我會繼續留在國內踢足球。」281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc4l1RzLaqE
281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUH7Olkwv8W
「你是說這個賽季之後，你還要繼續留在新鳴？」281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdKcOiszMjM
281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ47otinr769
「對。」281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiL1OSJWrqr
281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLJDwg1wpP9
「所以，」中年男人的語氣都變了，「你要繼續踢乙級？」281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpUrPoR4PJ5
281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI2XgFmUK7m
「贏了冠軍，就會去A隊踢甲級。」281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbCUdCF4soG
281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5DZiChmYbj
「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！」281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAt5tMb7L99
281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtUz7w3FevE
「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。281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzOBC5ZGrvS
281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtAO3b9trxB
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？！」281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5SXxRF2Yxw
281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7AmtbV2vfY
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。」281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡawQMAdxnyK
281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhXjY5f17Nv
李父怒然看著他，胸口起伏。281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuJAArWnej4
281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm26fRUKNyE
李與凡目光深深，面容不變。281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGca1xO8isu
281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKPvY0vSunM
「我會證明，我今天得到的一切，都不是靠誰給的。」281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4J2pZgKETY
281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD5gkfd7pLk
281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWs5aZEFOUk

281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3hKQfnfjj6
另一邊廂，林家四合院老宅外。281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHAOQkomFab
281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFs7Rlp12jd
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。281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4PUpIgl5Eo
281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCUTq4XswBr
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？」281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5g7ZZXBWle
281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXEVbqnmTgw
林經陽無奈，怎麼自家母親第一件事是關心周諾寧，「沒有。」281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsEB7yR7THv
281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWHtDM3FRVy
「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⋯⋯」281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBktqwV948d
281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkKnOB8E9KZ
「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。」281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR16DOTGN5F
281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf9K3nclECm
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。」281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLSiM16Uwz9
281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAz6EDxtRTc
「嗯，我知道了。」281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoI4Rmw3Mk0
281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIiUVFiixBt
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。281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc63j3iOqB9
281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ94hRF64Oyp
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。281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzUgfTSzRfO
281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2v5nhE2RPw
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。281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJiAiIWgr88
281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzIZGN8klZH
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。281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBoxzrsTH7M
281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7DpixP880U
林經陽上前朝男人笑著打招呼，「好久不見。」281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkjHZXPyINe
281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDIIUS42nfq
「嗯。」男人慵懶地插著口袋，「你父母呢？」281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCUfXYVxOf1
281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzvWqGT7YHo
「在偏院，我也正打算過去找他們。」281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7w5pA6wfTn
281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡncb9r8EOYA
「請他們也過來吧，今年整個家族都在正院吃飯。」281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmDuqqng6Cb
281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY0Og16fVw1
林經陽略為驚訝，「我以為⋯⋯只是讓我們進來打個招呼。」281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhAJ0dNH4Rm
281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpBr6Qe3JMW
男人扯著唇，「那些不合時宜的規條，也該是時候廢掉了。」281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbzDFvI6img
281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0LPgCbzsUg
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。281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwYzX2hcCVv
281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtyOBYXt3c1
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。281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8Lemitciku
281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0alnrOX5AC
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。」281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyv6JxPrI1D
281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgUrlhebW0j
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。281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuAuRlKB9iY
281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuhkLXu5L4p
林經陽看了看四周，「你妹妹呢？還在國外嗎？」281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGQTw5BnDfw
281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWVYVv2J8Hh
「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。」281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeRObYQLEAP
281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsISFqkj1bW
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。」281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpA5AV65dGs
281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPzFrqpgcSy
「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。」281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB0Of2rJpLA
281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD3rgilwIrk
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。」281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSxone9H2j3
281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKcSfybhfzG
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。281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWM4jIMJwMQ
281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbohKuuHJoY
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。281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ19GJF4v9pR
281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO14aZIgAoH
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。281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU4ZVbr7f8O
281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEAbXMCD70n
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。281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJfkfxs6Wh0
281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3YzfMZoGVL
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。281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6YMFtU61pf
281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNUExmAdINu
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。281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo6T9svrWj1
281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHyDd4Rgk3S
他們必須要存在，卻又要像不存在那樣謹言慎行。281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPkhfueGJPq
281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡibgYxNEush
從那時林經陽才明白，原來他們沒有的東西，還有這麼多。281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrWmrk2Wgv2
281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCUDu1sO6Ex
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。281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd1JGQuJpm9
281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRqy3W5QNIy
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。281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyrYdU3n1mT
281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRLTvXh4jKK
「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？」281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgZSLzodh5W
281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo6vJICs9YD
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。」281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0YhdKRSvBL
281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡufDBoE4O6M
林景軒勾唇，「看來周家大小姐眼高於天的傳聞，倒也不假。」281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcMhxOWfF5B
281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnPu6cYf64d
「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。」281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJh4vP4coTF
281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL8TikYPKQl
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。281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT50wYxwter
