又是一年的三月,春來時,梅雨季也隨之而來。12Please respect copyright.PENANAQOtktQFLHI
12Please respect copyright.PENANAOWUYKe76cH
「呼……」12Please respect copyright.PENANA0GZlAHHHhK
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。12Please respect copyright.PENANAi68Ow5zbbG
12Please respect copyright.PENANAoIovzPVCn8
這裡,是她曾經努力融入的世界,12Please respect copyright.PENANA5OoAfJChna
也是她曾經選擇離開的地方。12Please respect copyright.PENANAzADrQAyK3R
12Please respect copyright.PENANAeMwblzgzt6
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。12Please respect copyright.PENANA29aMHF2vFw
她想了想,最後,還是答應了。12Please respect copyright.PENANA5QKDbsRyPL
12Please respect copyright.PENANAA1bLGjwXfX
今天,就是她正式加入的第一天。12Please respect copyright.PENANATz1R8n1rRr
12Please respect copyright.PENANAObc6ZfGXN9
「……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。12Please respect copyright.PENANAB9azzvg8rM
12Please respect copyright.PENANAGgHpKgj8kJ
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。12Please respect copyright.PENANAGCZ1kCJeBm
12Please respect copyright.PENANA81x7BdlNop
幸好,蘇硯的團隊氣氛與他本人並無二致——12Please respect copyright.PENANAV6yEMwFEYW
溫暖且熱情。12Please respect copyright.PENANAamWpFaiLnm
12Please respect copyright.PENANAZG6Bo5nrUi
這個地方,不再讓她感到陌生與不安。12Please respect copyright.PENANA0U11fm8jMf
12Please respect copyright.PENANAd4H2suvR2Y
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。12Please respect copyright.PENANAoLlY8PkIpU
12Please respect copyright.PENANAGEWZwMUdXa
「哎,學妹來啦?」12Please respect copyright.PENANACaVXZ85ZUP
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。12Please respect copyright.PENANABkShIFBV9U
12Please respect copyright.PENANA0U3YpxJli1
「學長,」她無奈地笑了笑,「你什麼時候改負責迎賓了?」12Please respect copyright.PENANAXiaaFeZ0Js
「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,12Please respect copyright.PENANATwsfuz8zWP
「更何況…妳能算『賓』嘛。」12Please respect copyright.PENANATZFfIK8Bd9
12Please respect copyright.PENANAf3KXiLtxRK
「……學長,你是不是期望我現在轉頭就走?」12Please respect copyright.PENANAtNt1xUsoex
12Please respect copyright.PENANAt7pVDKy5tf
「怎麼?要不要回頭?現在還來得及喔。」12Please respect copyright.PENANAHxgVwQ4Zzp
12Please respect copyright.PENANAcEz6C2ZVWi
「……你覺得我會嗎?」12Please respect copyright.PENANAhOsp3vC2XW
12Please respect copyright.PENANA0wsLFPGK4p
「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』。」12Please respect copyright.PENANAX7uyHsh1mn
12Please respect copyright.PENANAoW9wSfusAr
微瀾無語地翻了個白眼,「學長…現在教授都像你這麼閒嗎?」12Please respect copyright.PENANANoq3qvcgy4
12Please respect copyright.PENANAPK66EYCbkq
「不閒啊,」蘇硯理所當然地說,「但來損妳幾句還是有點時間的。」12Please respect copyright.PENANAvPGOQBdzfh
12Please respect copyright.PENANA8ABJiLZJRp
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。」12Please respect copyright.PENANAFZqdXXlALh
12Please respect copyright.PENANA6XAIbdHBo3
微瀾接過識別證,別在腰間,便跟著蘇硯走進去。12Please respect copyright.PENANAfRjmMC6KgV
12Please respect copyright.PENANAnnJuNeoRfd
12Please respect copyright.PENANAOy6FPNlqn3
「走吧,該來認識一下你的新同事了。」12Please respect copyright.PENANAcNfzmLzxzz
12Please respect copyright.PENANAolWvvTDJ3f
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。12Please respect copyright.PENANAMlxok04lVc
12Please respect copyright.PENANAm9bWyXi4kk
但她知道,這裡的她,已經和三年前的自己不一樣了。12Please respect copyright.PENANANCQKZBZhTs
12Please respect copyright.PENANA8kj4nf9OCX
「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。」12Please respect copyright.PENANAy7JFvsOEN1
蘇硯邊走邊解釋,隨手推開了一道門。12Please respect copyright.PENANAEupTzYwGOw
12Please respect copyright.PENANAmPys1Ag9BT
「進去吧,大家應該都在——」12Please respect copyright.PENANAHdLsX5hXDM
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。12Please respect copyright.PENANAqpwhDO6XHq
12Please respect copyright.PENANAObtChlQFob
「哦哦!學長說的新人來了?」12Please respect copyright.PENANAzSyimQVA1n
「是蘇教授的學妹吧?聽說在國外做了不少研究!」12Please respect copyright.PENANAqYYnBuZmib
「妳好!歡迎加入我們!」12Please respect copyright.PENANAxN0arSLnsv
12Please respect copyright.PENANAAU7e6JYUNG
微瀾還沒來得及說話,已經有人熱情地迎上來。12Please respect copyright.PENANArfd7I45IXr
12Please respect copyright.PENANAR1jGIhgToS
她愣了愣,旋即微笑點頭:「大家好,我是微瀾,請多指教。」12Please respect copyright.PENANA7PghDg4o0m
12Please respect copyright.PENANA9zLo3FWisb
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。12Please respect copyright.PENANAjtbC6HjPnD
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。12Please respect copyright.PENANAgbUp6Xl6BX
12Please respect copyright.PENANAIc87WQC4bE
「對了,等等蘇教授會帶妳熟悉幾個合作部門,尤其是……」12Please respect copyright.PENANAkY84CDWz3c
「許教授那邊吧?」12Please respect copyright.PENANAO4OUqWMyF9
12Please respect copyright.PENANA6QOjkyvFyY
有人笑著接話:「畢竟未來很多研究案都會跟他那組對接。」12Please respect copyright.PENANA0ow4J4uUn4
微瀾正翻著資料的手微微一頓。12Please respect copyright.PENANA4WU7LGKui3
12Please respect copyright.PENANAwJahXkDsQz
「啊,學妹你該不會還沒見過許教授吧?」12Please respect copyright.PENANANhPKnWyswE
「你們說……許墨?」12Please respect copyright.PENANAHImwopjyD4
12Please respect copyright.PENANAQZKqwMYiqJ
微瀾低聲問,語氣雖然穩定,指尖卻輕輕收緊了一些。12Please respect copyright.PENANAgAjLwE6eWB
「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。」12Please respect copyright.PENANAxhuWFjrN31
有人順口回應,沒注意到她的細微變化。12Please respect copyright.PENANAWIS5s39gSS
12Please respect copyright.PENANAKUIpYKAUD6
「嗯……」微瀾垂下眼,輕輕摩挲著手中的筆。12Please respect copyright.PENANAF6jdXQdTJI
12Please respect copyright.PENANAwOsN5dhkuX
這一刻,她知道——她終究還是要與他碰面的。12Please respect copyright.PENANAPlTQwrrkRJ
12Please respect copyright.PENANAnhhWb8NQT5
只是,這一次,主動選擇的人,是她。12Please respect copyright.PENANAH3dnkve3Ir
