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。253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGbwiJqt6n3
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtWmeh2LOqH
「乖兒子！」婦人上前迎接，一臉高興，「我可終於盼到你回來了。」253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPHPJBWXQ2H
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡENPEiSgAe1
他冷著一張臉，微微頷首示意。253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz8BTx2sNaM
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd7zDuvIOeg
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。」253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ05vPnlxsD4
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjeMiZzm6Mm
「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。」253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOGsnXMSh0f
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWFMHdOTMcV
「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！」253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5l6nOBvpiW
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMuA4Iu4h5i
「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！」253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfdb4b0hLAK
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ78nTrda4Kg
然後閃身躲進車裡。253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzLfzaWFM68
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOJiQEtkXe5
冷淡的男人無甚表情，轉身走進屋裡，婦人也趕快跟上。253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3criqkdaXX
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1ao8bTlVcG
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？」253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXNCLJg04hN
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZkrDX6GHGE
「回自己家了。」253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCyRMcgpGcW
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ80QwxkKST5
「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。」253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmmSW5UleMx
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc4LUrIE3uj
他沒有答話。253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCPgC30ZLz1
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUZPJ3WIGqy
飯廳裡另一個中年男人已經就坐，神情嚴肅。253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlMTdILl5H8
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ14gZQJTDgB
男人淡漠地頷首打招呼。253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuVH4fltmAn
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTQSUW7oLRI
「嗯。」中年男人沉著臉應了一聲，「坐吧。」253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPDXkXV21wR
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqtYZPYLaf3
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。253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1kChIbV6Ua
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjBCyoDmdOR
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。」253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4sfHuhDcbr
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ40Oq4sQdZn
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。253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7wKVZbqXh5
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe3dRN2LTD1
「打算甚麼時候回去西班牙？」253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqAheRu6mHo
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBRK5wy7uW8
年輕男人邊吃邊冷淡地說，「沒有計畫。」253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf4frR9VfpQ
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0i7k1t159P
中年男人眉頭深鎖，「甚麼？」253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUyiuS7ZJAM
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYSLpOx3VqO
「我會繼續留在國內踢足球。」253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnFpQwycMZ3
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK211vHH7HG
「你是說這個賽季之後，你還要繼續留在新鳴？」253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQaqjOjt4JO
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBR11sFrF4f
「對。」253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡidARNkJQ9I
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC29W4k2pZ3
「所以，」中年男人的語氣都變了，「你要繼續踢乙級？」253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHmEOH4CPwS
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtrcNaoiUyO
「贏了冠軍，就會去A隊踢甲級。」253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7RmsRLiHe2
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOADLhx4mis
「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！」253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyC9UQWGyyf
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8Ys2iA8SGk
「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。253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjiUVTKxQYH
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUgXSffbJbJ
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？！」253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTPEHrvflKU
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ53RntNZ59w
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。」253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7nIUo4XOle
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP9qb9Cn0ax
李父怒然看著他，胸口起伏。253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm8HQ62RzvY
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe8C2GguJh8
李與凡目光深深，面容不變。253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiRBx6w5AZj
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrnvrnAIRl7
「我會證明，我今天得到的一切，都不是靠誰給的。」253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN3UXB7qDQE
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1MLn4aJwlK
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTGNKIQGpsG

253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡshHQ953kaC
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH804UBLkZY
另一邊廂，林家四合院老宅外。253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1XZLATFqfg
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyuFnUZyPiD
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。253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwKtNUei6tF
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuOrDQNlvpj
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？」253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeMmDVOQQOL
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfEyy87f0nG
林經陽無奈，怎麼自家母親第一件事是關心周諾寧，「沒有。」253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdM3LFgslYz
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIa9WxI9dgC
「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⋯⋯」253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpgYja6Gw1Z
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPNqNAhc2rw
「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。」253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLFhB4Yv3Sx
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5h8LZcmvax
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。」253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA6P7j5pLhQ
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdd9pKcccuV
「嗯，我知道了。」253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrFql0BZo7B
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeszVEcZrtW
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。253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOYLC9hkAAB
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmU7wlit4tv
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。253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡttQdlbuCyP
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB3QEGrNpdm
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。253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyP8LwDAuJs
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRxZeYVhnJI
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。253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt4FS24nNDA
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡllpFpoySP2
林經陽上前朝男人笑著打招呼，「好久不見。」253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjKudta5uvI
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHZbaiWQJWE
「嗯。」男人慵懶地插著口袋，「你父母呢？」253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE2az9iGJ6N
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx0FMNKqXj1
「在偏院，我也正打算過去找他們。」253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg5RCmuZqTY
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKXPrcG1KFb
「請他們也過來吧，今年整個家族都在正院吃飯。」253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbf24ouLd8c
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeMMCP0bf8V
林經陽略為驚訝，「我以為⋯⋯只是讓我們進來打個招呼。」253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVo0d4zuMLN
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUKcIn5ZAUY
男人扯著唇，「那些不合時宜的規條，也該是時候廢掉了。」253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqR2GXdNhHD
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNl4bQceB5R
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。253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNqkHojyYT8
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO0BfLNDs5f
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。253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWQOHUrXZpJ
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwahSOJ46r1
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。」253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlVHCkHYGL5
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw0tXkF1IIE
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。253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbdwGdJeqSY
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk9zECFQFxM
林經陽看了看四周，「你妹妹呢？還在國外嗎？」253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1tmx0TGrHP
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmIYPVxxbXg
「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。」253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1Gq0bRuy98
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGbQIWME4m0
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。」253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCnuuLi5tDN
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2BVD0zemYd
「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。」253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVWyFbiL1jh
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRRjL97VUxp
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。」253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjFaGkmlfLA
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmoMLYTwJHt
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。253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjagW4ItHox
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiKYbNaF1kW
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。253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiF5QQDtvCy
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡshoSGoX2nP
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。253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ66W0tTvbBB
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7RraSO0wg5
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。253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzq579BE6Xe
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfBiItgkGjY
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。253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3XeqFZ8TMb
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡINwlwC1uRB
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。253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMHquxu8ymb
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2z7dcGiJH3
他們必須要存在，卻又要像不存在那樣謹言慎行。253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeG7Xld5bZP
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgRBXYIPRwZ
從那時林經陽才明白，原來他們沒有的東西，還有這麼多。253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd2rSi9f6TB
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZCFJe794FP
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。253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUH0hV7ZKm4
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs2lHMmoP85
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。253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVcm9ZmWfrq
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm5H3l6Q6l0
「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？」253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAOKR8wXup8
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7JC5Z9DjkX
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。」253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGqADqiStYE
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡquzFYyi9Df
林景軒勾唇，「看來周家大小姐眼高於天的傳聞，倒也不假。」253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvWfShfKVQw
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsKR2RMO9bg
「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。」253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaR04n56FCB
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpQQNDMVT8p
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。253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDi9uFF7q4x
