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。257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbhBKAxwhZ6
257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa3qfnbDqGI
「乖兒子！」婦人上前迎接，一臉高興，「我可終於盼到你回來了。」257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPTAm1kE6dR
257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgI41LD8pWO
他冷著一張臉，微微頷首示意。257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAiFeiqPkmx
257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMJDJhL2ZXS
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。」257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYwF4x6Ai9C
257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmqkAVFQlz6
「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。」257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK4efN6pYiv
257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqkXHMbPKIG
「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！」257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpKZtKIpvKi
257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0xs5caQyLA
「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！」257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJQ9SyFWPAp
257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl8Nbllhz47
然後閃身躲進車裡。257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvdrXKIRiJu
257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOzBjqjXWWX
冷淡的男人無甚表情，轉身走進屋裡，婦人也趕快跟上。257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfknPdm5pj6
257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjD5P4YDJ0i
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？」257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLkdLS8X99M
257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXAYTSqfiGN
「回自己家了。」257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlVXUUsHWiw
257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxRQ8LzUZ7p
「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。」257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuU18dLsQEh
257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcR31dCiL60
他沒有答話。257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtnUhyhPC9x
257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVH46UUvUUp
飯廳裡另一個中年男人已經就坐，神情嚴肅。257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsFhRHPllB3
257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiSu1YgAtZH
男人淡漠地頷首打招呼。257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDigt55hpVT
257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKCnVc337p0
「嗯。」中年男人沉著臉應了一聲，「坐吧。」257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLDVi75OmbH
257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKSDmTZFQCr
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。257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWR0sHODsk8
257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDLjNqyV6jX
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。」257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTaNNjVLlFO
257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4rIzAdojsB
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。257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWAOmwwYFYg
257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmWTBmZbeSV
「打算甚麼時候回去西班牙？」257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2sboJj2tbM
257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoUiThOxEn5
年輕男人邊吃邊冷淡地說，「沒有計畫。」257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQXrDSm737H
257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq4E4OUvPDR
中年男人眉頭深鎖，「甚麼？」257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgvo1T0eAQA
257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡERjKk91mHb
「我會繼續留在國內踢足球。」257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9e1PEfhcqH
257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdAqB3uCvjK
「你是說這個賽季之後，你還要繼續留在新鳴？」257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUNLSXYfusY
257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSS0vwcMmfc
「對。」257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv2B73qT5h7
257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe2AV0a443m
「所以，」中年男人的語氣都變了，「你要繼續踢乙級？」257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmbryFkwIRS
257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL7fFP4hCjf
「贏了冠軍，就會去A隊踢甲級。」257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHBX6W1AraE
257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmDUdeBjWsx
「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！」257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLVNPQcKOs2
257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaxM3Cik1Ob
「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。257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWJGh55W95f
257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm9TXFAg98X
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？！」257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0roM38BbgX
257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGmuG37RD7c
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。」257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJl4wFWHjtY
257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDm7PGkwcTt
李父怒然看著他，胸口起伏。257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeTQx9nJNaC
257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP40TPq4G3z
李與凡目光深深，面容不變。257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuRvpgnTtC9
257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcJyRFA9oYn
「我會證明，我今天得到的一切，都不是靠誰給的。」257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnoreaaFZEU

257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6mkyYvDv8z
另一邊廂，林家四合院老宅外。257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpPvaoPxwJb
257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfWBslSgKYT
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。257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbwtpfDGk7N
257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlqFBA4Ahwe
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？」257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9nwf4B5xR6
257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3IbNw4OOKR
林經陽無奈，怎麼自家母親第一件事是關心周諾寧，「沒有。」257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbgDcZL4oWj
257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmLjRJuL0LI
「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⋯⋯」257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCh1mNCEs6V
257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2nuv32Pa1g
「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。」257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvnk31OB54m
257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzjKIv0Ns0i
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。」257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcrA3GVgMnQ
257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3drT0vQAj4
「嗯，我知道了。」257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc5jqk6SBtM
257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4FnnJFC91E
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。257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwBsE7ymEhz
257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnw85s2z01K
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。257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6tAETwuhSJ
257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOMJBylRvFQ
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。257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbBNaSRutJj
257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbRqXw7ba17
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。257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCMxXiDinag
257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4WfZTCLrew
林經陽上前朝男人笑著打招呼，「好久不見。」257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6PkZ1VRp7G
257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtZCQldyqKz
「嗯。」男人慵懶地插著口袋，「你父母呢？」257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡunQR5GlmDK
257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV8a6WoUose
「在偏院，我也正打算過去找他們。」257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxDxnlkqyQa
257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxHQ0ZeaNDT
「請他們也過來吧，今年整個家族都在正院吃飯。」257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg5GFx44dIH
257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtZl70jx8Nm
林經陽略為驚訝，「我以為⋯⋯只是讓我們進來打個招呼。」257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcJWKft5tm8
257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5qEqQp0xTs
男人扯著唇，「那些不合時宜的規條，也該是時候廢掉了。」257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL4dIyyjqEN
257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC29gKi1Y4Q
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。257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4c9QvNcFkr
257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNQqfxbiXYC
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。257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuzwVYyzIle
257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbIp01yJn5U
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。」257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEkgJFKc4IT
257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYq3scNUQ51
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。257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX544TKzasz
257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRd2fXN6jIS
林經陽看了看四周，「你妹妹呢？還在國外嗎？」257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡed8zFfvcZZ
257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi2HCbSaJ2C
「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。」257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIMs5sRI0aW
257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYYKy2EuEMm
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。」257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhoiNz3EtHn
257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHa1XUXc7GC
「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。」257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5YzYBJF2h9
257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa6zEJIF4j4
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。」257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLcsL3sBYQu
257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOkhzbtOrSY
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。257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTE0cnKbMDi
257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8g8A4QMWoR
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。257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbzMr2J7gLk
257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhWhRL0Co3X
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。257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnbge8WejJ1
257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡumYDMP47Sv
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。257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc7WRWyK3WP
257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwVNXfahaa2
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。257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkuU2hbgp76
257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT4jiawA43j
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。257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPedYMcqIPc
257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvLOw0xYLRO
他們必須要存在，卻又要像不存在那樣謹言慎行。257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlp0wYGY8hH
257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZeqnEysJUP
從那時林經陽才明白，原來他們沒有的東西，還有這麼多。257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡspwkKDMvam
257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjkC2PHb5cz
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。257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡandLIdAJdv
257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6j5VPBHCup
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。257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnCI5e1EiY3
257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdoJp3vH4t5
「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？」257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnmOho31VV5
257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyRXmBkpNH8
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。」257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0wCo29Ks8w
257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEPMIMNS2i0
林景軒勾唇，「看來周家大小姐眼高於天的傳聞，倒也不假。」257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4LWt5cR2OV
257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV0wFAd97um
「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。」257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ5YRiY07TG
257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc9opwsRK79
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。257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYwhZRV7Eti
