「妳考這什麼分數！？」630Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi8k7rj5zlh
630Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwQeol6BmKf
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。630Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUZyA6hCwow
630Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5a2w1U0HcP
「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！」630Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZjDRUuabx4
630Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhYgQ58J7hr
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。630Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvzIhbHYWrL
630Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKPzWgT1Cer
「洛杉磯才不會用那些字。」630Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCFgBwxgv43
630Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCOHY2zejWu
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。630Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYISwOpAaYf
630Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡahZ327kAvk
「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！」630Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYfJ5RhEIgE
630Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpYIX8Svu4M
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！」630Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwcDI3lHabS
630Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZOWiKJCxWz
「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！」630Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoTfeABSHbO
630Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRFXKmDMy9S
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。630Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCzHD54PFlC
630Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGuwTGRhAYt
「讀書讀書讀書……除了拿我跟哥哥比較，那老頭還會幹什麼！」630Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3qzbAhkINT
630Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYjHA4M7sDX
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。630Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDtud3h7Sok
630Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡet3kbsqNGV
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。630Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj5DejBdN3h
630Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2okUcXZqBF
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。630Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLqEkVBfFgW
630Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIicwEfnuwP
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。630Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9q4lDduTvp
630Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXwwVMdOBZD
「叩叩。」630Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFXjkaeBNNg
630Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg1VnvP1sOW
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。630Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGvPnoQ4w2N
630Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPuryJeSgHv
「幹嘛？」630Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAGjQ6p3oaj
630Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7saWgMrJCe
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。630Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjAdfGGcljb
630Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyzeU4ihCRO
「妳在做什麼？」630Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjUtumeOB2a
630Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh7KbR0qzUu
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。630Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcwClEKodRb
630Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBrN6JU2taT
「我房間缺一個櫃子。」葛蕾絲再問一次：「你幹嘛？」630Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxXxw3Pn1WE
630Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5BwZSlLhMG
瞄了眼房裡的半成品，里奧告訴她：「聲音很大，我在念書。」630Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNK8x8BrYmB
630Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0pdH5v8IGx
想起剛才和父親的對話，葛蕾絲莫名火大。630Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8C4s1qQX0t
630Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjX0TDKYJ9c
「你不是有耳機？」630Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡccPJaUXaFu

「……。」630Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvjx4y25iPP
630Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPn5RtJa7u2
「這些工具就是這樣，會發出聲音，很吵。」630Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtrKDxjtSfg
630Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf03A7Lou0y
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。630Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc5vPmqhpfv
630Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4eAD718PQi
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。630Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtnbC2nAL4Q
630Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz39scRlhQ9
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。630Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkaarKsJNX4
630Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ303CkzZ0Sg
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。630Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwF9SoEycOR
630Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI6D8wy74PQ
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。630Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuTZDo5WRsk

「店長，下班的卡我先打，這十五杯外送完，我就順路回家囉。」630Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz7nVcFwk0O
630Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwM6dSmDDFd
630Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxvH7E0BrQp
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。630Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmgw9eUYsth
630Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYwuDN9l2h0
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。630Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9le6Exki7s
630Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRzYY6r9WND
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。630Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1pdgZus6Bd
630Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMF8iccjJvP
「久等了，你的十五杯飲料。」630Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTlRdiNbE8h
630Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwzT5OsuOxt
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。630Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNf5QIIIyf8
630Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7fQeDZH8e1
「謝謝。」630Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnDAi0Rfa07
630Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0I76b9Bap0
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？」630Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHYH5qZEdAZ
630Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeKozx6hYci
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。630Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYIJa2tIXC6
630Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkLxMGDJJcm
「妳是里奧的妹妹嗎？」630Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyZt4RV87Pg
630Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡszamUt6HLb
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。630Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTFyLJIdCca
630Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNzjNkGlcbT
「你認識我哥？」葛蕾絲沒有否認，反問對方。630Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUJSHpP6xeA
630Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzHSMlCdDka
「嗯。」灰眼睛的人點頭，「他是我朋友。」630Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSjCPqHDdbt
630Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5pWWEud29W
「他有朋友……！」630Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdLmyRQ6KOi
630Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7syX0DwiDK
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。」630Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6yO0KjkkMV
630Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ42NjuUzMR6
「除了頭髮顏色，我們沒有一個地方像。」630Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoU4Ok6MjIw
630Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWQb0eS6Xpv
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？」630Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdZ3JBKCsdy
630Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM6dIHJoY6n
「『高宇維』。」灰眼睛的人停頓一秒，又說一次：「妳可以叫我高宇維。」630Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ46EaXO0rZO
630Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwbwSLmwFa9
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？」630Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8672ewdHxm
630Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3FbJKdN8EB
「你的飲料……」630Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKKOkX0evWq
630Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLLjgvP3eRZ
「十五杯都是我的。」630Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbYbYhAKuTm
630Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1ycJpuHY3d
葛蕾絲一愣，「你一個人喝十五杯？」630Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfOBwNLjh5o
630Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoFQzsttor8
高宇維不覺得奇怪，「走吧，我們去吹冷氣。」630Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRcQWSGLie6
630Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbmbyx9GjML
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。630Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsaLBIlRh2b
630Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvFxpvEDiau
「謝啦。」630Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmsj7Dgypxi
630Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyaXmOd8xPT
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。630Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmxCdu40nuw
630Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqUD8APPi9Q
「里奧今天課很滿，應該沒空過來。」高宇維喝著紅茶說。630Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUHpikMGAty
630Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgXxJGaQarn
「你們怎麼認識的？」葛蕾絲忍不住問。630Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEsEQpcX7J6
630Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJi1TSn31zN
「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。」630Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhrF7I1xtTK
630Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwcRov88ucs
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。630Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4t7u1nxkXM
630Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDWjwsna3rB
「他很常提到妳。」630Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7ZANj2o2I1
630Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMlHQLFdONF
高宇維突然迸出一句。葛蕾絲滿頭問號，「啊？」630Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPw51MOIQl3
630Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVSuqH1qPWm
「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』。」630Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWTdKKm7Xow
630Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4DTEP44Pau
「……！」630Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡciVB20w4bQ
630Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ1RyJ1kzz4
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』。」630Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEJAqR0bbrW
630Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtAkfjM236w
「……。」630Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlPfbXNErnh
630Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDtGzUgS9Hc
「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。」630Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ85wakeWgEv

「……。」630Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ07xGey4Dq7
630Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU1n4Z21acM
葛蕾絲驚訝到說不出話。630Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGCIpSjLn1Y
630Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDS4jhsMVsP
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。630Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkr9LnOmgCA
630Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnI7MwgCnaF
「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。」630Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB29RNjOQRM
630Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBOPilhWy4V
「嗯，他知道。」高宇維正在喝第二杯，「他以為妳討厭他。」630Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ27NEbj0yp
630Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGWFchGog73
「我沒有。」葛蕾絲澄清：「我們只是不熟，我也以為他瞧不起我。」630Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH2KHRDBwju
630Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYy4V6Bac3C
「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。」630Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEwOkhU38Rv
630Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ47OVwynL6p
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。630Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrVYTNINDA6
630Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuegp5pIVc9
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。630Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUWKsHNYSSo
630Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPuBzHki8bo
「……。」630Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkTAIAbCoQo
630Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWu0gBkg9we
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？」630Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbzQCiluYR3
630Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡynqcdRrRzT
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。630Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpmCJYCW7yH
630Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQEKGEtowVZ
「我要煮宵夜。」葛蕾絲問：「你要吃嗎？」630Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK2XNog0Uie
630Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyVhKfLrbhS
「要。」里奧一秒回答，還點餐：「拉麵。」630Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWttNNdg4K7
630Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpPyAi8sYo3
「好啦好啦。」630Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwDLx4QE4P8
630Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYFHxT1NL45
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。630Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsb2jpkNalz
630Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGwyj84twT1
「我今天遇到你朋友。」630Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxZz0oXbqSB
630Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgk9KiFRyKT
葛蕾絲負責開話題。里奧問她：「誰？」630Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgw9DtNufbQ
630Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBTNaxmS53E
「你不是只有一個朋友？」630Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhj27O0fLoF
630Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcoRxUv6Byb
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。」630Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPeR5GB2Svu
630Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSAGGdDdcyO
葛蕾絲笑了笑，「名字是高宇維，一個人叫了十五杯飲料。」630Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVHCX0Fbg1Z
630Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG7FzJ959wp
里奧翻白眼。葛蕾絲覺得好有趣，原來哥哥有這種表情。630Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9K1T6d4ca2
630Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOUVlva7tYX
「他每天都這樣。」里奧一臉無奈，「講也講不聽。」630Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrIdMTiy23u
630Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8gbnZyHUCV
「每天！？」葛蕾絲驚呼：「不會得糖尿病嗎？」630Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu8xF8AAtjq
630Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcXas9lQ0Dt
「……如果可以，他早就得了。」630Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ86pXndWahj
630Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZhnIkARZy2
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？」630Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8VPpmaa5e8
630Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSBQ9rpiju4
「巨嬰？？？」葛蕾絲滿頭問號。630Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOmmNAHpclz
630Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6Rz9JiTUWo
「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。」630Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQBBjiPGOlG
630Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHDiPq6s6ZF
「哈哈哈！」630Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDpziRuOWX7
630Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPFKmMc15tR
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。630Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNbG8x4xUMf
630Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSQqK5i2Y2V
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。630Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3C9Dlatv1W
630Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk3Z0fT8YSe
「你最近有看到老爸嗎？」630Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf3Tvi1KbpP
630Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd3LZD6lLDm
餐後，里奧幫忙洗碗，葛蕾絲問起阿道夫的事。630Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZU40Pc92Uq
630Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf3TwryhSjU
「沒有。」里奧表示：「他似乎很忙。」630Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWXqq6I8HKI
630Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSU0ZtPjEXp
「忙到不用回家？已經兩個禮拜了耶！」630Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz9hn4HFDvv
630Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLJmPljQLc0
葛蕾絲一說，洗好碗的里奧微愣，反問葛蕾絲：「這麼久？」630Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ28ibFDs9to
630Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvTW2MPcp2N
「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。」630Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWGwvIxsAAm
630Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg7vUw92NGy
「不，我白天也沒看到他。」里奧說：「我以為他晚上回家，白天出門。」630Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJLV1FDwKoR
630Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMt19f0RMYz
雖然稱不上感情好，但對方是父親，他們或多或少會擔心。630Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPKtaAZahNb
630Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk9chzF5ec6
「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。630Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgz13kJ9F7L

「就算是，他也不會輸，爸可是跆拳道黑帶。」630Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYsCR2GZgSD
630Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0pjzAa2hKt
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。630Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLDUgliGz4r
630Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZW2uQoSl8x
「妳怎麼知道？」里奧問。630Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0RgWrwAj9p
630Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAumh8GeoXW
「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。」630Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMJHUntLnAd
630Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTWr65gNhni
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。630Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0NIkFH9lfW
630Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIQpxwMynnv
「『奎茵博士（Dr. Quinn）的遺願』……這是什麼？」630Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgZhj58nQGO
630Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuH0a8UorBL
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！」630Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDOzfz45w44
630Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjk6MJCqYqc
「……！？」630Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRHjoo5WJbw
630Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuwsVFG9q2l
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！」630Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPOMfHh3LCZ

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：630Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrbDOl6yjHX

您好，我是奎茵博士的研究助理，我叫作白絃。630Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPed6fyRHDu
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。630Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK8SANgfJSo
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。630Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYiGRemqCBu
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。630Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAx8g2dHcOx
附件是我的聯絡方式，期待收到您的回覆，謝謝。630Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuznqcz1GAs
