「妳考這什麼分數！？」629Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTPCUe17O9H
629Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8tZv49ahlz
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA3pec3IV68
629Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbZB2xgX4HD
「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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLgMBEMnWVZ
629Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKf74lIBkZz
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkXPgWRuREJ
629Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3MMVl1mTKA
「洛杉磯才不會用那些字。」629Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpBtxFEbqgi
629Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡut8PjM2Aa4
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPMKmVosnWQ
629Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuVulYijQWN
「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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWNynVJPYv3
629Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKqDxvkxp7a
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡipi8oXLmD2
629Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF2Fk909BxP
「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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0cYuZ9k0ix
629Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL9ETvzCc7C
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrjS4Ns2NFj
629Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZfd1AEYIdp
「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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy8HGQt6nqK
629Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfXUek6DfNu
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlyBApwASav
629Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaVs0yw4UP0
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDORirmTTvV
629Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEIGECp1fmh
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxeTVTen1wD
629Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ80TYEbtEDV
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjeysPK1rt9
629Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTHCVWyQo3H
「叩叩。」629Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuR3FpaibeS
629Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTTDQnMRerl
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQr4oPPE2R3
629Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡELFGYxIQ66
「幹嘛？」629Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjDEulfIUrH
629Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdTfsV3Y0bJ
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1HKrkFLua2
629Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKxYHRPdMza
「妳在做什麼？」629Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvMYpEcRdTy
629Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCN538YCgcv
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbO8IlmWiMG
629Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCuLm6H58mC
「我房間缺一個櫃子。」葛蕾絲再問一次：「你幹嘛？」629Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgjbV5zrZ8j
629Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5OzRjS0Qq2
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCqucLx8IL4
629Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIIfEDa4TKF
想起剛才和父親的對話，葛蕾絲莫名火大。629Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRuDynNnOFs
629Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡol1pocADVl
「你不是有耳機？」629Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqpggZzbTRg
629Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsTyVHPj6wJ
「……。」629Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0RoXGuQ6vh
629Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm5Z3bCMeo1
「這些工具就是這樣，會發出聲音，很吵。」629Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTB5x1Gp68J
629Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs59wsWu825
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXEAjRCna6y
629Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4ofKDZJ2hR
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjkPp37h1Tu
629Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeojyqLeC9N
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgywJtzvLPI
629Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwWPUBncP2z
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8Z9xfQmQ7t
629Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8v9AL28TvG
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp8loqM3vR9

「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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG7y2QIZmwP
629Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDEeSkiDTwU
629Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlK1Sqvwifb
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHkPA2wTnX2
629Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqrAVsgCRRq
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMlkYj68JHQ
629Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡguAtLfIz7p
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡir82XBZQOI
629Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMYtkNggp8m
「久等了，你的十五杯飲料。」629Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZehXS3itAY
629Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6imCRWXjmR
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSFHOl4ZpEd
629Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjHv4z5dllJ
「謝謝。」629Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzAJ5dNyQQN
629Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwy7lxnhina
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡskoSk2FRcG
629Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIG3SfQuDiY
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ29iUxO2dPf
629Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡstTT0Sqsw6
「妳是里奧的妹妹嗎？」629Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmM8dgCCiFO
629Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ0OmGkfEU3
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxHqqxqZqhm
629Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrJvorwiEc4
「你認識我哥？」葛蕾絲沒有否認，反問對方。629Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRvVCR6XLUQ
629Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ8GvT7NZgQ
「嗯。」灰眼睛的人點頭，「他是我朋友。」629Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXQBYTe4YYx
629Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1qBJ5evSVZ
「他有朋友……！」629Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTzodb6w095
629Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7p5xwxTt9o
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCkRAybJ5RL
629Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvtFk7JvCtH
「除了頭髮顏色，我們沒有一個地方像。」629Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaLp6zIF331
629Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeZ2lx9rJkN
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbpFOtBwyVd
629Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJEnX2May2c
「『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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlHzDqyWrSk
629Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSR14U0DaI8
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxeApOLMJBa
629Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOSIF3mkBPw
「你的飲料……」629Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc7yw6X6TgB
629Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzOSa1B0Bmq
「十五杯都是我的。」629Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ55l5w970HT
629Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjdKDtrDbzB
葛蕾絲一愣，「你一個人喝十五杯？」629Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOYyLS9Mnwq
629Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTOcc93CTQ0
高宇維不覺得奇怪，「走吧，我們去吹冷氣。」629Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZGk4Gid6K6
629Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHM9jdFG04Y
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0rd2AgJN4u
629Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7SUfAzLbOc
「謝啦。」629Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3M1I7GZ2hb
629Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWTtTYgb9ug
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3B7ce7T0hH
629Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFHe72Iuz4a
「里奧今天課很滿，應該沒空過來。」高宇維喝著紅茶說。629Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgodGoRv0BD
629Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ5zXccLsSl
「你們怎麼認識的？」葛蕾絲忍不住問。629Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRjh9w98P7d
629Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK6Gw0UO1L8
「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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWkWg9fWQ3x
629Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN1SWYWzCYI
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3r0Kdtjcg7
629Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsoyhUr2yUL
「他很常提到妳。」629Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFUuUpY3Ctp
629Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPo01yifqrX
高宇維突然迸出一句。葛蕾絲滿頭問號，「啊？」629Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEZwQb7xdNv
629Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFCc2pl5EJp
「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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡslVkFA5i2l
629Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡruBAXgJDr3
「……！」629Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBoo4xa792Z
629Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv74QklqZTD
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYXm6ExrdNb
629Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6ZQufffMvC
「……。」629Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhdGIflX4sp
629Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa1DHUxgw4v
「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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN2SLmGf1FO
629Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUKwGZ15Mi8
「……。」629Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwfmg8uv59C
629Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRTL0kf0oFY
葛蕾絲驚訝到說不出話。629Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbIdItXSDEq
629Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0VAUMbooKr
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfQJqKiW0I6
629Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNVFGfAnEKZ
「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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn2i4EC4P5B
629Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3iBofQoymn
「嗯，他知道。」高宇維正在喝第二杯，「他以為妳討厭他。」629Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmAZchSQZji
629Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv3Lcv7ChoT
「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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIGx24ceX2z
629Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwVNvCahJv6
「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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVXfLtmVajo
629Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiUTVDS5DQf
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJQmIUmpf75
629Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKCBt3zfwMT
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwpi3OTEfXp
629Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYrne7zhCqs
「……。」629Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLwc0E2a4qD
629Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZYY7jPhb3B
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdSzS9kmoiY
629Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVpK1cFaed1
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBzDHtEGKhG
629Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUvb8iBcje1
「我要煮宵夜。」葛蕾絲問：「你要吃嗎？」629Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTTAsJ0wG6y
629Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5zgWkddgit
「要。」里奧一秒回答，還點餐：「拉麵。」629Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd0Vq5DGwC9
629Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcsVJXwJVBd
「好啦好啦。」629Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjHWURhfPAE
629Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP5nNm7jpOW
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcyhcEQD7YQ
629Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcHe7payhVH
「我今天遇到你朋友。」629Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkBOvoq1kvv
629Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB62VGtGQ7V
葛蕾絲負責開話題。里奧問她：「誰？」629Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI5DloGNDRu
629Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc8dZuSeLGs
「你不是只有一個朋友？」629Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ49H6dMipjG
629Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9NnGQTNNPX
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjTZoVhqNK7
629Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq5D5cEtvkA
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwVFxAYY76P
629Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnyF9PUrWWO
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT28whPx3KI
629Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaUn1zF3ffj
「他每天都這樣。」里奧一臉無奈，「講也講不聽。」629Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtBs5JU5ftt
629Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8zmgGH5tZW
「每天！？」葛蕾絲驚呼：「不會得糖尿病嗎？」629Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAnNxi9nO1J
629Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhgZ70R8Rub
「……如果可以，他早就得了。」629Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRr30zRc0fR
629Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAdJhn3aSC5
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr0LYpK1Qln
629Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWanhcxqazh
「巨嬰？？？」葛蕾絲滿頭問號。629Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7q6qrH8PAc
629Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpFGgxPTEqN
「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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuHbHPJznM2
629Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUScU6JPGgs
「哈哈哈！」629Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh9Bj4snF0q
629Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0XCv2i4LtL
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA21RFAOPF4
629Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHvsRLMNlQA
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5mGZ9wWXNF
629Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzWuJ6TD7CO
「你最近有看到老爸嗎？」629Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyPe6FMNYG6
629Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm9vZRdmVkH
餐後，里奧幫忙洗碗，葛蕾絲問起阿道夫的事。629Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLldFhQ2NDU
629Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLtBciIIvnw
「沒有。」里奧表示：「他似乎很忙。」629Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCDTWaHYCRv
629Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMk8QhzS2VB
「忙到不用回家？已經兩個禮拜了耶！」629Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqr60Per3zQ
629Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfVgFa0kR6b
葛蕾絲一說，洗好碗的里奧微愣，反問葛蕾絲：「這麼久？」629Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoMArxnMrOS
629Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2FvdivxGaD
「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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8BqZEQwWWf
629Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1iKXn6Bovd
「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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxXwbGZp14t
629Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7TiuI3XVSz
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2aNDk25VLY
629Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2SXQH8M0gQ
「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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRuNo8HZZPf
629Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlMoce0rEvM
「就算是，他也不會輸，爸可是跆拳道黑帶。」629Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxGm2g9RtAI
629Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRCQml9C66H
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDskk4XjSJf
629Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwRsdUQJFzw
「妳怎麼知道？」里奧問。629Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC7HUD8PYpY
629Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf4D2Dpcjm8
「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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdFSOsPVEWy
629Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8TZ61Hw4oq
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrbrxWL34h7
629Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWkQVCuS9Wc
「『奎茵博士（Dr. Quinn）的遺願』……這是什麼？」629Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMY2aO1ERcc
629Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu7drs16UyI
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXnq1MXjRmi
629Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZWoybvhnKY
「……！？」629Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8BRZH3sEmH
629Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7l3yPSKXRc
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡatFY6v92iN
629Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzDqKdBtYiC

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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJHMa4mvYPn

您好，我是奎茵博士的研究助理，我叫作白絃。629Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRSSgvCAfWf
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3jgRlAy6c1
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ66HNEJLM3l
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0oQIt0KMlB
附件是我的聯絡方式，期待收到您的回覆，謝謝。629Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdMnaLpzl5a
