「妳考這什麼分數！？」550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHuhlZuufZL
550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX5Nk2nXtb1
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。550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXiMa39t6Ji
550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡULv8Yb8cyC
「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！」550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdrUBo9JEvW
550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOtz0vZmBwW
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。550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡovyiSuRSoi
550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSsvzsSv4rS
「洛杉磯才不會用那些字。」550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTMxiuUoeEK
550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH85YHAZ3nx
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。550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO0VJrntgVN
550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjqfafTnvTf
「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！」550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMlIFuzTn0Q
550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8UfChWHplQ
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！」550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ97PWZ0MTIG
550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuHjdP0RklW
「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！」550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsvgnT41dJN
550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlo4GcR8z1z
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。550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJbdFHa2lsl
550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOAjFv6ZGoo
「讀書讀書讀書……除了拿我跟哥哥比較，那老頭還會幹什麼！」550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWTuow5QkWs
550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6FcvKAZvni
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。550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlV9x11xyrR
550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxskQSI2Une
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。550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0ETPYrjJle
550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRIcFxWExbP
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。550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI9VEL9exrT
550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQUUsYi6Eif
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。550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfpfgTVo5AG
550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0IzPsFTtVj
「叩叩。」550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKrRYlVs85p
550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9mvJSiCbaP
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。550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbigwWyjjqD
550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBHNWrKAdnX
「幹嘛？」550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmfEQlosoRj
550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLt8FVPfO8E
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。550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUutoiEmxkp
550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb5fzfhHRu5
「妳在做什麼？」550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMM1zfuTzCK
550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ71KWUz8fUt
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。550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjhgX5VjmLL
550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9JEDznnVEe
「我房間缺一個櫃子。」葛蕾絲再問一次：「你幹嘛？」550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6gRc2QAJAI
550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHKI1DixWR5
瞄了眼房裡的半成品，里奧告訴她：「聲音很大，我在念書。」550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsfpL9UG8gb
550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6ZIJpz3yE1
想起剛才和父親的對話，葛蕾絲莫名火大。550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqqpJW3J4zq
550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDYutbGD9dp
「你不是有耳機？」550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHqGvkFzbcn

「這些工具就是這樣，會發出聲音，很吵。」550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKSWvKsYzlW
550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdxtcr7k81K
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。550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKQUOKJGzbx
550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDup8oN9mPu
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。550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9FWgifedNJ
550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ92gbS0b4Vo
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。550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPQsQwSxSFn
550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6BXlYNBEOu
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。550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpOIuZHtNiZ
550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV5LP2RPPXn
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。550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡszz4GTqlAo

550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZoKtzFT2yH
550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCkoTc3BYhY
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。550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡezzlhfSN72
550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh5QcZOJGAl
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。550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2XUFhTv3U4
550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpMPpZ0vYZS
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。550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ00Y6v1BwMw
550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ41WyPnwd2F
「久等了，你的十五杯飲料。」550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡITiR40Z0su
550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoWOStGu6AD
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。550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFpguh8yCGo
550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUWJOkWW6zf
「謝謝。」550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMSHgArmXrI
550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpyLOXm1Jl2
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？」550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJh4Av3bijS
550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxyO90S6UHh
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。550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ82h8R8tq4C
550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgmyFuuc8xO
「妳是里奧的妹妹嗎？」550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxGEFl3jVDy
550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgLZBkxBNed
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。550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡklgiL2i8AS
550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡowXWO5yV57
「你認識我哥？」葛蕾絲沒有否認，反問對方。550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbmwSiPFim8
550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKkuVxrpa1m
「嗯。」灰眼睛的人點頭，「他是我朋友。」550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyg8Ry83QRk
550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjrUUdSJiVc
「他有朋友……！」550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDZUYjydvoQ
550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTiLggyFFJB
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。」550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXIg4MeuiXD
550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5vJhND9p0P
「除了頭髮顏色，我們沒有一個地方像。」550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvcuBVLLsvG
550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmDBWSdM396
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？」550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡthcdkWJMNt
550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjhmxqZoxBL
「『高宇維』。」灰眼睛的人停頓一秒，又說一次：「妳可以叫我高宇維。」550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6XjMZTo27x
550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjFNXsXAs1V
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？」550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMrVcDNobkr
550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZpjvR1NFXD
「你的飲料……」550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI2Q0woRdeC

「十五杯都是我的。」550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC267Gbd2j2
550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE3K3A3iIID
葛蕾絲一愣，「你一個人喝十五杯？」550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlCd6lQ4OF3
550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4VvW1kNRFp
高宇維不覺得奇怪，「走吧，我們去吹冷氣。」550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡparvoCO1s3
550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMgB0FSdbn2
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。550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyOGc9kBkbp
550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKUgXmdKBzI
「謝啦。」550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwY3VU17ILo
550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj7jwXnBD0S
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。550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4HVoHJKNc9
550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEvk4EKxPkY
「里奧今天課很滿，應該沒空過來。」高宇維喝著紅茶說。550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdOvJy8bYHu
550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfWUk6ZUYQB
「你們怎麼認識的？」葛蕾絲忍不住問。550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ49u0SytGK
550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFqOoLd6Xte
「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。」550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkWRn9lwS6x
550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcsyy8OUJbh
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。550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3MBpSxav2z
550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb3oZMK5Mel
「他很常提到妳。」550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9wXF8ipoY8
550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXaoiLoCmqU
高宇維突然迸出一句。葛蕾絲滿頭問號，「啊？」550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkEGeNd3lmV
550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmpXzwPUV7w
「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』。」550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGfciFvnEz0
550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKdgiiblUUY
「……！」550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNNVVnVha2h
550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ5njtvrNGj
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』。」550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTNqpBtPH5N
550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvS6elDeUjH
「……。」550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx3R4syhQib
550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqUeOy8X1jk
「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。」550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG3XagcIq5d

「……。」550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0aQfTdjvan
550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYV0XiO0wrN
葛蕾絲驚訝到說不出話。550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwqyuhDMrJT
550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYgrS80F0zu
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。550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ74Z6ilgINF
550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRBJVlkvygd
「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。」550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkSGsm45UDr
550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡErSoSIQu58
「嗯，他知道。」高宇維正在喝第二杯，「他以為妳討厭他。」550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmh8DsNI59K
550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡunSqXy5aMy
「我沒有。」葛蕾絲澄清：「我們只是不熟，我也以為他瞧不起我。」550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwjL7yk5quU
550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM01MUZz944
「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。」550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqCDcZ5Eb5J
550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3erxLkQZYO
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。550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrtam8Hvb1c
550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJDyz4T39Tu
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。550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡej2aPXtgQN
550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLyk8E58waU
「……。」550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4mNEbUneeQ
550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQZ1mdGTvyw
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？」550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOlLSQypSFc
550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2gJ3AYBlM1
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。550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnn9kFAp7Pm
550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoyIYwknoAp
「我要煮宵夜。」葛蕾絲問：「你要吃嗎？」550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwmg79HhXai
550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQSJiqpmVF3
「要。」里奧一秒回答，還點餐：「拉麵。」550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGVLH8jBf8I
550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfvJQLpNTjz
「好啦好啦。」550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjSAcUqJFEu
550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ90aZfuyTAX
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。550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfAsU36te4t
550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwXwri0OSYQ
「我今天遇到你朋友。」550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtmhFZWaGQl
550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpS7qzkjtga
葛蕾絲負責開話題。里奧問她：「誰？」550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS5x1NzzImx
550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeDcjEf5XiL
「你不是只有一個朋友？」550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡei1JgaXGup
550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCjtdxgzSBo
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。」550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9SqVaE1Jfh
550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqxUTGrEHkt
葛蕾絲笑了笑，「名字是高宇維，一個人叫了十五杯飲料。」550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaX34ghP5r4
550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFOVTPs9Uty
里奧翻白眼。葛蕾絲覺得好有趣，原來哥哥有這種表情。550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaqEBhmzcTe
550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAyRFnPPQnw
「他每天都這樣。」里奧一臉無奈，「講也講不聽。」550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3NfsqvK44r
550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUun21JVKa6
「每天！？」葛蕾絲驚呼：「不會得糖尿病嗎？」550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ7hvw0tAOA
550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfVb548RO4s
「……如果可以，他早就得了。」550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQYqgtiSDTY
550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgA0l0xvvs7
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？」550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡggp9Bq8Ceq
550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ08XH4dFhWC
「巨嬰？？？」葛蕾絲滿頭問號。550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcVNMbaWdVs
550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCYYIQxWtjw
「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。」550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ5bKNILfT4
550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL485PeJ4O4
「哈哈哈！」550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYekAHaF7YR
550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA1wotQhkbp
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。550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhn17C4Rrlk
550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbXlwceAi6I
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。550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQuaDqotReg
550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCMMV1Dnjtl
「你最近有看到老爸嗎？」550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnjOpRDSVER
550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZGjrwgR8tl
餐後，里奧幫忙洗碗，葛蕾絲問起阿道夫的事。550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt5Ck8kozBY
550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9fe5ytKlkf
「沒有。」里奧表示：「他似乎很忙。」550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6zKsrYsuj4
550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9rhfrptdP5
「忙到不用回家？已經兩個禮拜了耶！」550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeXihIkgj4f
550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWQVhvleuk3
葛蕾絲一說，洗好碗的里奧微愣，反問葛蕾絲：「這麼久？」550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy3P5LPkLZC
550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGdu05Gx2Zj
「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。」550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHuE3zcyFmk
550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKpEVeERPEq
「不，我白天也沒看到他。」里奧說：「我以為他晚上回家，白天出門。」550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHhgusomlbQ
550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnB7AdaQKIo
雖然稱不上感情好，但對方是父親，他們或多或少會擔心。550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7V5pRCJZ84
550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7QxQVIh0dD
「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。550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyXkYhZ1bRu

「就算是，他也不會輸，爸可是跆拳道黑帶。」550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ12Zds3QeYs
550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSVQmxdxp58
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。550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL9Eh70Y6aE
550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCYLpXKHENy
「妳怎麼知道？」里奧問。550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa5dyfnV8Y9
550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRagAGvzaa6
「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。」550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPA7KXkwRTD
550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH6rvGW1fyf
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。550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp3vRU7JzAV
550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7Tciiv8W6o
「『奎茵博士（Dr. Quinn）的遺願』……這是什麼？」550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡemJVjocng8
550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡib2QTFaRyc
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！」550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7MBx11kFeh
550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡijcXdJnXcW
「……！？」550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8dLQ7w0mvJ
550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSNgwfGaFCO
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！」550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtosx7waqCD
550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyu03YZCAwh

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：550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMKeRl8mJGV

您好，我是奎茵博士的研究助理，我叫作白絃。550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKfrtvgtQLP
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。550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCv2hHqewxN
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。550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhQ1Vl4wCBv
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。550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9eCc1vbFh1
附件是我的聯絡方式，期待收到您的回覆，謝謝。550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCmYo3jo0Wn
