住在便利商店樓上有什麼好處？那就是身體的作息會慢慢和著個城市同步吧？316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU6CuZVtEec

「叮咚」的開門聲早已變成背景的白噪音，穿過簡陋的夾層，頻率會隨著人們活動的節奏而改變。深夜裡，海潮的聲音會漸漸蓋過開門鳴響。316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz0GGm8Mdsx
316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxp2Vb3mRp0
進貨卡車的滴滴聲和「貨車右轉，請注意安全。」在清晨時會響起，那時身體會漸漸醒，夢會開始複雜，眼皮輕輕跳。柴油船外機作響，膠筏出港。著橘色背心的海巡隊會目送著漁船，在如絲的海面刮出淺淺的白沫。316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0e16l0y8YR
316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUKK8yiEK0V
咖啡機、收銀機、飲料櫃關門時的風壓，在日出後也會開始噪。如果你這時醒來，可能可以看見雜木林中的鷺群成歪斜的人字，飛向灰色的海。316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn91m3vsAS4

大進醒來的時候發現窗戶沒關，海風搖動著紗質的白色窗簾。316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ53XAYG6KQg
316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4mxh6Jj96O
一個黑影迅速從落地窗的縫隙鑽了進來。316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgeEfDG8JT4
316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOQ3ac0b0QB
大進驚坐起，外套從他昨晚睡覺的沙發滑落地面。316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR3bVbZNwKj
316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRghGFtr1yg
「Kiri！」大進用氣音說道。316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxx3w9hMpDb
316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPT9aZw2Mm8
Kiri在聽到名字的時候豎起了尾巴，胡亂應了一聲「喵」就往床底鑽去。316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOVwf7uMubM
316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjHUOA7sRFx
Kiri是麗灣附近的野貓，原本是沒有名字的，直到有一天一群日本高中生來觀光，說這隻毛色和清晨霧氣(きり)的顏色很像，便這樣叫了，牠本貓也很中意這個名字。316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFoV3uqlfQG
316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD4PlzHYs7D
大進追著貓來到床邊，看見仍在熟睡的桑妮，麥色的腿由Oversize的衣襬露出，趾頭蜷曲著，夾著大進的床單。316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjSzr8SFxq5
316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy8GrWXEgG5
昨晚雨後，他們回到租賃處，大進挖出一件舊系服給桑妮穿，輪流洗了熱水澡便睡了。大進昨夜睡在沙發上，脖子還有點酸，他想著自己應該沒有做出什麼踰矩的行為吧？316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ87Y3j651gE
316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVFD0kz2ce3
大進吞了一口口水，慢慢地幫桑妮把被子給蓋好。316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz98gbRV4xJ
316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡswzYjzIzIg
大進花了約半個小時和Kiri纏鬥，逗貓棒、雷射筆、衛生紙球，能用的都用上了，還是不肯從床底出來，最後只好下樓去便利商店買貓罐頭。每次都這樣。316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBrnUddhxEJ
316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDupNKg8Y6S
回到房間時，桑妮已經醒了，Kiri窩在她的腿上，快樂地呼嚕著。316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjGHeJdEXZ3
316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu67XfTpfZY
「臭貓，去樓下買罐頭，害我被店員笑。」316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJcxIvaZx9F
316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvuiVuCQrln
「笑你什麼？」桑妮搔著Kiri的下巴。316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbLNVEfqmtI
316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcpnX9IinBU
「笑我帶妹子回家睡覺。」316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡntc1Jc4SsV
316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlSXhYJJAYu
「我們又沒怎麼樣。」316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvxh3bNMpoG
316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEXkjJFhgX7
「嗯……。」大進摸了摸鼻子，他害羞的時候鼻子都會發紅，因此養成了假裝鼻癢的習慣。316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbAicn6TeAY
316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTGP9jrA36c
大進低著頭把三明治和牛奶放在桌上，避開桑妮的眼神。316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgSfmqBr3rZ
316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5IzrmThPct
「還是說，你期待我們，怎麼樣？」桑妮抱著Kiri來到大進身後。316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxJDpdxRgSQ
316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKVx6dOQnj8
「我等一下要去打工，下午會去龍蝦坑那邊釣魚，要來嗎？」316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlVPwrXxWR7
316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDpMXww21Xf
桑妮吃著三明治，鼓著嘴糊糊地說著什麼好冷漠。316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDtdOujtqfr
316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWyftzArW9e
「你加我好友一下，海博館那邊結束LINE妳。」大進把手機滑到加入好友的QR-code畫面。316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡad2b6EaLno
316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6YlKdEgjxw
「我沒手機。」桑妮小聲地說。316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt0oaStSGoY

由麗灣通往柴城的濱彎道路很寬，是大進離開麗灣後才興建的，兩旁種植著海芒果，部分道路下方還有生態廊道，可以讓一些濱海生物通行，路蟹、寄居蟹、黑背海蛇。316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeTmNoNgm0w
316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7s8t8W7Cah
大進的老檔車在道路上奔馳，其實抵達海博館最快的路徑是走內陸的省道，但那裡車多、速度快，不符合麗灣居民的生活節奏。濱彎道路是蜿蜒的，依著海岸地形建造，遇到年邁的老樹也會很有禮貌地繞路。316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB20egsZfx6
316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6UwJL7f5wy
車子是大進和被退學的歷史系學長收的，車子很古老，排氣聲也很老派。巧克力胎捲起木麻黃的針葉以及一些細碎的鹽晶。316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAMMHC7YRsd
316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmZwikUUUSi
「桑妮怎麼會連手機都沒有？麗灣有這麼落後？」大進邊騎邊想，海風吹亂他的思緒，讓他不自覺地鬆了一點油門。316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvXaI8MqZwi
316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJloScrigMV
離開租賃處前，大進又翻箱倒櫃挖出去年淘汰的舊手機，跑去樓下買一張預付卡，又被店員挑眉嘲笑一番，再用光速設定好LINE帳號，把手機塞給桑妮。316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc6LAFrSsQB
316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlUpH4Le7bG
大進還記得後照鏡中，蔚藍蒼穹下，桑妮的微笑。316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKSyGY6xMPw
316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3gt4U1xlKF
316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHHblbO3wSN
來到柴城海博館，大進把車子側停在一棵棋盤腳下，棋盤腳葉子大又茂密，車子停這可以遮陰，也可以掩人耳目。他拎起安全帽，躡手躡腳地想從研究室的後門進去。316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzAAZvizhf1
316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLuzxzyRU8U
「楊大進！遲到！扣錢！」一道刺耳的訓斥讓大進頸後的寒毛豎起。316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR0zA6CdUpM
316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6EFzp105Yr
大進緩慢轉身，手抓著後腦，擺出不失禮貌的微笑，「敏怡教授……早安啊！」他心虛地說。316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR6a9T7W2ir
316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY3Lwv5oyhD
「敏怡是年輕美麗的海洋研究員，年紀輕輕就有許多SCI期刊發表，在珊瑚礁系生物研究是世界頂尖的。」316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlufq41xVn6
316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ4R3oJcqaO
以上這段是海博館宣傳手冊上的文字，旁邊還附著敏怡穿著實驗袍，雙手抱胸的照片，看起來十分有幹勁。316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDyyaMe48F7
316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnQ8lx1HC3L
但大進從來沒看過敏怡教授穿過實驗衣。316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdhe9tfKchD
316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwM4qt3F5jx
此刻敏怡穿著短版的無袖針織衫、有扶桑花圖騰的海灘褲、夾腳拖。染成夕燒色的頭髮像是一顆馬糞海膽在頭後梳理成髻。316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfXtokqWPuC
316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkNuUKGnSKL
「出大事了，大進，我們研究室要有『大進』展了！」敏怡的夾腳拖在研究室的長廊啪啪作響。316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXRqYZ6B1fD
316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK4qTLwqSJF
「又有新物種出現了嗎？」大進抱著安全帽跟在後頭，看著教授雜亂的髮髻搖啊搖。316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1HVgbJavtR
316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUPu8rgYYgL
「比那個更興奮的事。」敏怡華麗轉身，食指輕觸嘴唇，比了個祕密的手勢。316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEOla3sOEeL
316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5cnBUd5wP9
敏怡轉動門把，打開了通往遊客展示區的後門。316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0BOldKdVBY
316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFK1taMpwSY
這裡是園區尚未對外開放的區域，地板上散落著各式管線與器具，液壓升降平台倚在巨大的缸體前。除霧設備還在測試階段，水缸的壁是迷濛的白。316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqiqyzRmzVM
316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsSBG62F2pp
大進好像看見水缸裡有東西在游動。316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡga9Q4C0Mke
316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLIP9ZyZykd
未來這座水缸預計要入住的是白鯨(Delphinapterus leucas)，與日本名古屋港水族館合作，準備迎接去年十一月誕生的小白鯨。但日本那邊說小白鯨目前狀況不太好，還不適合長程運輸。316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYHjqWfJhIw
316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU0BcXSTxAJ
敏怡在液壓升降台前跳躍，右手高舉，想要拿下被工人隨意擱置在平台上的遙控器，小小的腰窩在大進眼前浮動。316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlPQkJwNBoY
316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIThzGqOSJk
「幫一下。」敏怡回頭喊。316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDNZi0wxf0N
316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1N9XUOf1KR
大進看傻了，趕緊上去稍微墊起腳尖便取下了遙控器。316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWe6dr2cukW
316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfJKaaMR3yX
敏怡趁機把手伸進大進的T-shirt下面，唉唷，有腹肌噎，她很陶醉地搓揉著。316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg2v47xvxu5
316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEjNVFjMIhm
「妳這是職場性騷擾喔，敏怡姊。」大進板起了臉。316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIyHXo5gfEI
316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPS7UBxFQ8v
「對不起……。」敏怡露出驚訝的神情。316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdhnrFHKEPp
316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ937xB31zZG
「騙妳的啦，呵。」316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdsUjlk19rD
316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD0efsQUx6i
液壓升降台緩緩上升，水缸的曝氣設備的噪音越來越大。一直要到最上方大進才看清楚缸子裡的生物。316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrSU5miWUO2
316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCWYLwsMUue
兩隻白色鯨體在水下游動，背上有淺灰色的斑點，額隆突出。但最令人震驚的是那長長的獨角由吻部突起，像一把鋒利的西洋劍。316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlb5dlKySuL
316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7lmcwr6UiX
「一角鯨！？」大進只有在教科書和影片中看過這傳奇的物種，但在他的記憶中，一角鯨的活動範圍是在寒冷的北大西洋海盆。316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZWVoJU1MAK
316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqFQQzJckk5
敏怡點點頭，她說昨天就有漁民通報近海的定置網，有被破壞的狀況，也有作業船隻說有看到鯨豚在麗灣海域出現。結果今天凌晨就有衝浪客在麗灣真的看見這兩隻一角鯨，牠們好像被昨天低氣壓帶來的長浪推進灣區，體力不足，游不出去。我們去看發現好像有受傷就趕緊帶回來治療了，而且日出之後不知道牠們會不會被曬死。316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDH13ZMlJiR
316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjyLj1vI1LP
青色的水波紋在敏怡的臉上搖晃，她皺著眉，神情凝重。316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3y87h1kRmx
316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6GL1f4v5vy
「我不知道這些事什麼時候會被媒體發現，先是許多從來沒看過的物種冒出來，現在又出現一角鯨。我想說的是——。」316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxBM0X8d9Nl
316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrclKZoqruP
敏怡轉身過來，手指敲擊著金屬圍欄，眼神裡充滿光芒，像是盛夏的星砂。大進就是看見教授對於海、對於探索未知的熱誠，才選擇回來麗灣的。316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8VIQgoTVWf
316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHGwcTNM9UA
「——大事就要發生了，我有預感。」316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiCWslv5gFo
