又是一年的三月,春來時,梅雨季也隨之而來。11Please respect copyright.PENANAxtjuTCH6Bz
11Please respect copyright.PENANAbPPUCrOV3t
「呼……」11Please respect copyright.PENANASyHisRRzoH
微瀾撐著傘,站在研究所外,看著眼前這座曾經見證過心動與心碎的建築,心底莫名泛起一絲複雜的情緒。11Please respect copyright.PENANA4esNQqbKgn
11Please respect copyright.PENANAiEUiRWMpKQ
這裡,是她曾經努力融入的世界,11Please respect copyright.PENANAliZqHUl2Ux
也是她曾經選擇離開的地方。11Please respect copyright.PENANA9QuEL6fvbb
11Please respect copyright.PENANAWgP9U09l9u
這一年來,她以外部人員的身份協助研究計畫,始終沒有真正「回來」。前陣子,蘇硯問她,是否願意正式接下研究員的職位。11Please respect copyright.PENANAS1EXYsUKAP
她想了想,最後,還是答應了。11Please respect copyright.PENANABUNNtKII0V
11Please respect copyright.PENANAMHxpSbgkT3
今天,就是她正式加入的第一天。11Please respect copyright.PENANA2n4B1migwF
11Please respect copyright.PENANAHKXRBTd1FO
「……這比研究所面試還令人緊張。」她低聲嘀咕著,手指輕輕扣了扣傘柄。11Please respect copyright.PENANA1ShnCZpao1
11Please respect copyright.PENANApHabAZg8Ye
她已經適應了學術環境,也確定了自己想要走的路,但當她真正要踏入這個地方時,心裡的緊張感卻還是不可避免地浮現出來。11Please respect copyright.PENANAeFzeLtYWmq
11Please respect copyright.PENANANuQsoSLydR
幸好,蘇硯的團隊氣氛與他本人並無二致——11Please respect copyright.PENANA4m7kVOwPUg
溫暖且熱情。11Please respect copyright.PENANAkDpz7YF28K
11Please respect copyright.PENANAUTgUS5sfDk
這個地方,不再讓她感到陌生與不安。11Please respect copyright.PENANAKGkoirqixc
11Please respect copyright.PENANAB7yazDNjvy
她微微一笑,深吸了一口氣,然後邁步向前,伸手推開了研究所的大門。11Please respect copyright.PENANA4F7d0Z207i
11Please respect copyright.PENANAH3i8ivGaWo
「哎,學妹來啦?」11Please respect copyright.PENANAXxI4tDovWM
熟悉的聲音自前方傳來,微瀾抬起頭,便看到蘇硯正懶洋洋地倚著門框,手裡捧著一杯咖啡,像是在等她。11Please respect copyright.PENANAIeS8aNDtmh
11Please respect copyright.PENANARhYJQmGMot
「學長,」她無奈地笑了笑,「你什麼時候改負責迎賓了?」11Please respect copyright.PENANAAVGPevd4Gc
「這可不是迎賓,是怕妳站在門口太久,乾脆過來看看。」蘇硯喝了一口咖啡,瞥了她一眼,11Please respect copyright.PENANAjtPOXaJO21
「更何況…妳能算『賓』嘛。」11Please respect copyright.PENANAjH8eau3ei8
11Please respect copyright.PENANAoXgdOWesS0
「……學長,你是不是期望我現在轉頭就走?」11Please respect copyright.PENANAJiLD6cPzYl
11Please respect copyright.PENANAPkGzWM2zJ8
「怎麼?要不要回頭?現在還來得及喔。」11Please respect copyright.PENANA7g9AVQx5cK
11Please respect copyright.PENANAnXtLnLhGpw
「……你覺得我會嗎?」11Please respect copyright.PENANA9quN20jqlL
11Please respect copyright.PENANA5M3fA3uen1
「不會。」蘇硯聳了聳肩,嘴角勾起一抹笑意,「但還是想看看妳會不會,又『臨陣脫逃』。」11Please respect copyright.PENANARwRTBPftP9
11Please respect copyright.PENANAwZsAImVEMD
微瀾無語地翻了個白眼,「學長…現在教授都像你這麼閒嗎?」11Please respect copyright.PENANAE2hDXaSrQG
11Please respect copyright.PENANAM58ePUGkPB
「不閒啊,」蘇硯理所當然地說,「但來損妳幾句還是有點時間的。」11Please respect copyright.PENANAu3tWyKwlhT
11Please respect copyright.PENANAIGX4QvhidX
話落,他將一張訪客識別證遞給她,「今天先拿這個,之後辦好正式的就能進出了。」11Please respect copyright.PENANAa5P5o6LoMT
11Please respect copyright.PENANAJp0qqz5O80
微瀾接過識別證,別在腰間,便跟著蘇硯走進去。11Please respect copyright.PENANAVnjkBSaDZj
11Please respect copyright.PENANA1oNwyD8G3P
11Please respect copyright.PENANA0ADILvfFkU
「走吧,該來認識一下你的新同事了。」11Please respect copyright.PENANAh58xolNKq3
11Please respect copyright.PENANATYVzWz5YZG
這裡的環境與微瀾記憶中的相差不遠,走廊的燈光依舊柔和,辦公區的擺設依舊井然有序,空氣裡還帶著些許咖啡與打印紙張的味道——這曾經是她最熟悉的氣息。11Please respect copyright.PENANAEibZfLLpe9
11Please respect copyright.PENANAbb19xaV0f0
但她知道,這裡的她,已經和三年前的自己不一樣了。11Please respect copyright.PENANAaaPYWTg4Ti
11Please respect copyright.PENANAjMA2ejIDXH
「前面這區是資料室,你的辦公桌就在那邊,旁邊還空了一個位子,方便你放研究設備。」11Please respect copyright.PENANALtykkVfONv
蘇硯邊走邊解釋,隨手推開了一道門。11Please respect copyright.PENANAdPTUPQX4Ne
11Please respect copyright.PENANAweSzJIkohM
「進去吧,大家應該都在——」11Please respect copyright.PENANAXmUeYvdJ2m
門一開,研究員們的視線齊刷刷地轉向門口,微瀾一時間還有些不習慣這樣的目光,微微頓了一下。11Please respect copyright.PENANAFfRA0VhjOz
11Please respect copyright.PENANANZZzdQ3Znp
「哦哦!學長說的新人來了?」11Please respect copyright.PENANA7PyEduCI4T
「是蘇教授的學妹吧?聽說在國外做了不少研究!」11Please respect copyright.PENANAFV6UkksP0y
「妳好!歡迎加入我們!」11Please respect copyright.PENANAUFh5xszTF3
11Please respect copyright.PENANAEVouhuOd9j
微瀾還沒來得及說話,已經有人熱情地迎上來。11Please respect copyright.PENANAzeN9RV98IE
11Please respect copyright.PENANAhu6xSLdwrb
她愣了愣,旋即微笑點頭:「大家好,我是微瀾,請多指教。」11Please respect copyright.PENANAtTnV7RKHuu
11Please respect copyright.PENANA5sCa5FN7Y5
與她想像中不同,研究所的環境並沒有帶給她強烈的壓迫感,反而讓她有種難得的放鬆感。11Please respect copyright.PENANA4clKbhPlLh
她終於明白,這是因為——這一次,她是帶著選擇回來的,這裡,才是她想要的歸屬。11Please respect copyright.PENANAXupSlkdl6j
11Please respect copyright.PENANAn0ZytHe2Ba
「對了,等等蘇教授會帶妳熟悉幾個合作部門,尤其是……」11Please respect copyright.PENANArTJJAvjZAK
「許教授那邊吧?」11Please respect copyright.PENANArQyUWvZKOq
11Please respect copyright.PENANAwanU82Ysrv
有人笑著接話:「畢竟未來很多研究案都會跟他那組對接。」11Please respect copyright.PENANAUQBwmvB73j
微瀾正翻著資料的手微微一頓。11Please respect copyright.PENANASeSBQbkDCe
11Please respect copyright.PENANAiZCTawkmwo
「啊,學妹你該不會還沒見過許教授吧?」11Please respect copyright.PENANAefRmPQ0ZyU
「你們說……許墨?」11Please respect copyright.PENANAKq5PrJ3CUW
11Please respect copyright.PENANAENB43GqJkP
微瀾低聲問,語氣雖然穩定,指尖卻輕輕收緊了一些。11Please respect copyright.PENANA1k1DAaMaWb
「對啊,他這幾年帶的計畫挺多的,最近幾次的交叉合作,他們那組都在負責。」11Please respect copyright.PENANAJKaYF2vzkL
有人順口回應,沒注意到她的細微變化。11Please respect copyright.PENANAPExmH3lUHP
11Please respect copyright.PENANAuNJkvaZBzR
「嗯……」微瀾垂下眼,輕輕摩挲著手中的筆。11Please respect copyright.PENANAd8arHQn0vE
11Please respect copyright.PENANA8mPSMhsz3l
這一刻,她知道——她終究還是要與他碰面的。11Please respect copyright.PENANA7L59lBJ3xx
11Please respect copyright.PENANArOjDT9ZsnA
只是,這一次,主動選擇的人,是她。11Please respect copyright.PENANAHpfFr0bezj
