夜晚的雪靜靜落下,將整座城市覆上一層柔白。16Please respect copyright.PENANASXvLrx7SjH
這是一場突如其來的雪,並不在天氣預報裡。地上的積雪尚淺,卻已足夠讓街燈的光折射出淡淡的銀輝。16Please respect copyright.PENANA5vkSXtamWK
16Please respect copyright.PENANAM879UMLw15
微瀾踩在雪地上,靜靜地走著,腳步放得很慢。16Please respect copyright.PENANAutuO8fa82B
16Please respect copyright.PENANA5WGaEdgxgt
她回來,已經快兩年了。16Please respect copyright.PENANAfrzFkWhOAE
這段時間,她適應了新的研究環境,也重新融入這座城市的節奏。16Please respect copyright.PENANARBw5cpx0ag
而她再次見到許墨,則是半年前的事。16Please respect copyright.PENANA1dXhUcCdjf
16Please respect copyright.PENANAN7xqFApbAT
這半年多來,他們並非完全沒有聯繫,偶爾會因為工作碰面,或者在學術會議上短暫交談。16Please respect copyright.PENANAkD47kLm1LG
但他從未強求,也從未催促。16Please respect copyright.PENANAkDDPtQBun7
16Please respect copyright.PENANAeYW0EBm4UN
就像現在,這是許墨第一次正式約她吃飯。16Please respect copyright.PENANAszTchDC79U
16Please respect copyright.PENANAZmVGNS0Rci
沒有刻意選擇什麼特別的地方,也沒有安排複雜的行程。16Please respect copyright.PENANAPiyVq4Lk2O
他只是簡單地說:「一起吃晚餐吧。」16Please respect copyright.PENANAh3s66Gld0B
16Please respect copyright.PENANAaAU4eYGG62
就像過去無數個夜晚,他們結束一天的工作後,隨意挑間店坐下,像普通的戀人一樣,度過一個再平常不過的夜晚。16Please respect copyright.PENANAjlBb4IHmTI
16Please respect copyright.PENANAgSEigYCAzN
但他們都知道,這次不同。16Please respect copyright.PENANARns8zYJrNj
16Please respect copyright.PENANAea554drQx1
晚餐後,許墨沒有急著送她回去,而是提議散步。16Please respect copyright.PENANAZ7zImUCs7z
微瀾沒有拒絕,就這樣跟著他,走過熟悉的街道,走進這場未曾預料的雪夜。16Please respect copyright.PENANAkI60jwkKW8
16Please respect copyright.PENANAz7bNh2SwIN
「有點冷。」微瀾輕輕呼出一口氣,看著白霧在空氣裡散開。16Please respect copyright.PENANAsa3BjrdKF7
16Please respect copyright.PENANAIFuHINaRVq
許墨微微側過身,視線落在她微微蜷縮的指尖。16Please respect copyright.PENANAiDd6Ve5bdb
他沒有說話,只是順勢將自己的圍巾解下,輕輕地替她圍上。16Please respect copyright.PENANAVo00kOtMwh
16Please respect copyright.PENANAMbYjyEk6cj
「……你不冷?」微瀾偏頭看向他。16Please respect copyright.PENANA3H37pmQA9D
16Please respect copyright.PENANABZ5GjJXvai
「還好。」他的語氣平靜,語速一如往常,卻帶著一絲淡淡的柔和。16Please respect copyright.PENANAWUecRG6KXu
16Please respect copyright.PENANAZZ7ZDf2Gjb
微瀾沒有再說什麼,輕輕地拉了拉圍巾的邊角,感受著上面殘留的些許體溫。16Please respect copyright.PENANAkND0ZeFoxG
16Please respect copyright.PENANAj79g85yCQp
這是一種陌生的親密感,像是過去,卻又比過去更接近,近到讓人無法忽視。16Please respect copyright.PENANAnSiUzar1Jp
16Please respect copyright.PENANA3NcRlzpRvo
許墨側過頭,看著她低垂的側臉,輕聲道:「這是妳回來後,第一次和我這樣散步。」16Please respect copyright.PENANANyfw5UBocx
16Please respect copyright.PENANAGWoyIoMLjX
微瀾頓了一下,沒有否認。16Please respect copyright.PENANAya8dpAiNZx
16Please respect copyright.PENANAB8KZsP2aGM
畢竟重逢後,他們一直維持著微妙的距離,既不疏遠,卻也不曾像現在這樣走在一起。16Please respect copyright.PENANAtbLxRhfsKI
許墨沒有催促她,也沒有刻意去製造「再一次」的開始。16Please respect copyright.PENANAYuYdNNwR4F
16Please respect copyright.PENANABNc8UvMoh3
他就只是……陪著她。16Please respect copyright.PENANAXNeyYBmuqn
讓她慢慢地去適應,慢慢地去思考,甚至——慢慢地去決定。16Please respect copyright.PENANAs2lW4R3xHk
16Please respect copyright.PENANAFHXvFv7bdx
這樣的許墨,是過去從未有過的。16Please respect copyright.PENANAXjvdDRCLBl
16Please respect copyright.PENANA6NKbvxLxuG
16Please respect copyright.PENANACB8t6x4L7J
「那天在機場,」他忽然低聲道,「我其實一直在等。」16Please respect copyright.PENANAkAHcuC1edy
16Please respect copyright.PENANA5ZkhHrKS4j
「等什麼?」微瀾輕輕側過頭。16Please respect copyright.PENANAaXo6cmSrxs
16Please respect copyright.PENANAXULbA0YNrX
「等妳帶著行李來找我。」他的語氣淡淡的,像是在陳述一件已成過去的事,「但妳沒帶。」16Please respect copyright.PENANAkUk0IruP8O
16Please respect copyright.PENANAlOHxGRCLel
微瀾微微睜大眼,指尖無意識地收緊了一瞬。16Please respect copyright.PENANAlJHIMlapbJ
16Please respect copyright.PENANARbz3cF6aA6
「其實那天,當我看到妳空著手走來時,」許墨頓了一下,嘴角泛起一絲極淺的苦澀笑意,「我有一瞬間……想問妳是不是來告別的。」16Please respect copyright.PENANAq8BHzYpzt9
16Please respect copyright.PENANApwkaVKH3W1
「……」微瀾低下頭,心裡莫名泛起一絲悶痛。16Please respect copyright.PENANAs69d3nK0Se
16Please respect copyright.PENANACRwXn6gtuc
她當時確實沒有想太多,甚至沒有意識到,自己空著手走進機場,對許墨來說意味著什麼。16Please respect copyright.PENANABTRdMgVu9S
因為她當時的確還沒有決定——16Please respect copyright.PENANAS47AzBF6CT
她還不確定,她是否準備好,再次選擇他。16Please respect copyright.PENANAQsX99eigK8
16Please respect copyright.PENANAguBg70RkWc
「但後來呢?」她低聲問,「你還是沒有問。」16Please respect copyright.PENANAmGRgALXKWm
16Please respect copyright.PENANAPMWfnVefad
「因為妳來了。」許墨語氣輕柔,眼底浮現一抹淡淡的溫暖,「所以,不管是什麼答案,我都願意等。」16Please respect copyright.PENANAYWiA3Dzj32
16Please respect copyright.PENANAP1wqyzhE7k
微瀾的指尖微微顫了一下。16Please respect copyright.PENANAKptywkVqhQ
16Please respect copyright.PENANAJ6BedU3YgI
這次的許墨,真的不同了。16Please respect copyright.PENANAx0e5MCuUtV
過去的他,習慣掌控所有變數,習慣在所有選擇裡找到「最優解」,但現在的他,卻能夠接受「未知」,甚至願意把選擇權完全交到她手上。16Please respect copyright.PENANAszPZy1mL48
16Please respect copyright.PENANA8tcLhnv7bD
她忽然覺得,心底某個角落被輕輕觸動了。16Please respect copyright.PENANAooYpU28SPt
——這樣的他,是她曾經不敢奢求的。16Please respect copyright.PENANAI5NCS6dWx9
16Please respect copyright.PENANA2TvdHGToCW
她深吸了一口氣,停下腳步。16Please respect copyright.PENANAGpZnC9xDM3
16Please respect copyright.PENANAnKmolVCAi6
「許墨。」16Please respect copyright.PENANAjgfeVHXYGk
16Please respect copyright.PENANA22PUol4khH
他也隨之停下,看著她微微抬起頭,對上他的視線。16Please respect copyright.PENANAE1pngHzZ9A
16Please respect copyright.PENANAI9gW9ejYr0
「如果……」她的聲音輕得像是怕驚擾了什麼,「如果我說,我選擇你——」16Please respect copyright.PENANAJAYMwEIu85
16Please respect copyright.PENANACOVVjzoNmH
她的話還沒說完,許墨的瞳孔微微一縮,下一秒,他已經猛然站起,將她緊緊擁入懷裡。16Please respect copyright.PENANAHpWNhRx9ds
16Please respect copyright.PENANA5p4yPDCi30
許墨的手指緊扣著她的背,指節微微泛白,像是要將她刻進生命裡。16Please respect copyright.PENANA5JG3enzAuY
他的呼吸微微顫抖,像是在壓抑某種深埋已久的情緒。16Please respect copyright.PENANAqd4SUh5K6a
16Please respect copyright.PENANAw7Ip3gb1bh
那個力道,幾乎能將她完全鎖進他的世界裡。16Please respect copyright.PENANASJJTNRe8tc
16Please respect copyright.PENANAd6V7hs6sm3
微瀾怔了一瞬,還沒來得及反應,便感覺到他的手緊緊地摟住了她,像是要確認她真真切切地站在這裡,而不是他一場過於美好的夢。16Please respect copyright.PENANAFa6S8Z2lBw
16Please respect copyright.PENANAb2btbmtxih
「微瀾……」他的聲音低啞,帶著極力壓抑的顫抖,「我等這句話,等了太久。」16Please respect copyright.PENANAyjC8VbUn4l
16Please respect copyright.PENANAG2nDXsUVJA
她沒有問他「還願不願意」。16Please respect copyright.PENANAuQTVQTKlwX
16Please respect copyright.PENANACCk0CZ9t6A
因為她知道,這個問題根本不需要問。16Please respect copyright.PENANAX53v2HDJ8R
16Please respect copyright.PENANAQkDhuEs3KT
他沒有變過,從頭到尾,唯一在變的,只有她的選擇。16Please respect copyright.PENANA2rhIkJ09Nr
16Please respect copyright.PENANATmCta0Ca2H
但這一次,是她真正選擇他。16Please respect copyright.PENANAmHZGNvlE0B
16Please respect copyright.PENANAsdd0UEAEmz
微瀾感受到他懷抱的顫抖,終於,緩緩地,抬手回抱住他。16Please respect copyright.PENANAGKz3UD4BIY
16Please respect copyright.PENANA2NduFovWCf
夜裡的雪仍在靜靜地落下,覆蓋住他們的腳印,像是將過去所有的遺憾,埋進這片純白之中。16Please respect copyright.PENANAss2wewCa1X
