又是一年的三月，春來時，梅雨季也隨之而來。31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAH0D2kyhwx
31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD0RNYW359t
「呼……」31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0fUuKOUAd5
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。31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp5KyPqekwi
31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrIR8bzZaiq
這裡，是她曾經努力融入的世界，31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFo0pQ2AuQt
也是她曾經選擇離開的地方。31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlu552NWW2I
31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdQWioxBT3G
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。31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9Zkh9iEZeL
她想了想，最後，還是答應了。31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmnLgrNhEJr
31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV95alUEBKK
今天，就是她正式加入的第一天。31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdjhbnw0ZP3
31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY0X1i1tmiS
「……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。31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqTZEayMn6N
31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiuSCUAVQkK
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。31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0GhbnF0qeR
31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEKQzNd3SzK
幸好，蘇硯的團隊氣氛與他本人並無二致——31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO7sKVYtVIm
溫暖且熱情。31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJxBGgZsWIV
31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRG5mFWqDf7
這個地方，不再讓她感到陌生與不安。31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdRBccRMrxy
31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE845dmZSMG
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。31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrNhNcqP0Sg
31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6NGFHRivYU
「哎，學妹來啦？」31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLs9mEtFVAy
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。31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡloYJ5HL9Ya
31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI5FdwPGmCm
「學長，」她無奈地笑了笑，「你什麼時候改負責迎賓了？」31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSaFLH4hH3v
「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，31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFl5oBVeB17
「更何況…妳能算『賓』嘛。」31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl5qaNgmbiv
31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlAYsFHcwdS
「……學長，你是不是期望我現在轉頭就走？」31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ77reNeowYa
31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxUvp5sUKbk
「怎麼？要不要回頭？現在還來得及喔。」31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPBJlrcSW7r
31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEZdqqcFTkN
「……你覺得我會嗎？」31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbCQ1pWfZ9T
31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB9WWimmuwt
「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』。」31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxt58lU0sIm
31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlrwqvvXFOj
微瀾無語地翻了個白眼，「學長…現在教授都像你這麼閒嗎？」31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2uaVVI9S5h
31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ97M97qrvdD
「不閒啊，」蘇硯理所當然地說，「但來損妳幾句還是有點時間的。」31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNjpfWoDEgv
31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiOrn3Y2E4Q
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。」31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfvEjfdRgXH
31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS64oUFoL2Z
微瀾接過識別證，別在腰間，便跟著蘇硯走進去。31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOlDnyHROmY
31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNGkxyNF3Pw
31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpqGK2C4P2z
「走吧，該來認識一下你的新同事了。」31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3gzTD79NSg
31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnuR2fBE7OA
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。31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkKKnJYv2xQ
31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBpmZoTDeae
但她知道，這裡的她，已經和三年前的自己不一樣了。31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdttjXfV4B2
31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL4p2wlo6H2
「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。」31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9QAxka2CJp
蘇硯邊走邊解釋，隨手推開了一道門。31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡge1vN3e1Kl
31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqz4tn76cPl
「進去吧，大家應該都在——」31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOxR2YW2wPm
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。31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP0pyZr9Ydf
31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfSNuTnC3Ca
「哦哦！學長說的新人來了？」31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3FwOFV4nWQ
「是蘇教授的學妹吧？聽說在國外做了不少研究！」31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSQsyYCmSNW
「妳好！歡迎加入我們！」31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHRUOW1cH3p
31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFvZDnxbcQ6
微瀾還沒來得及說話，已經有人熱情地迎上來。31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKrhCMOEfOE
31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi3BZ59h3Zr
她愣了愣，旋即微笑點頭：「大家好，我是微瀾，請多指教。」31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZL3KslXhj6
31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpzeDCu4L4M
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。31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdK7ZQToIvH
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。31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq2eBqbvp1x
31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0sK8zd5QDy
「對了，等等蘇教授會帶妳熟悉幾個合作部門，尤其是……」31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuBYsvL6dSa
「許教授那邊吧？」31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2axzcuXb1b
31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLNFXRKOwDx
有人笑著接話：「畢竟未來很多研究案都會跟他那組對接。」31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyCDFncj9A6
微瀾正翻著資料的手微微一頓。31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNLHFUrm6Xq
31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNuNE8j4dah
「啊，學妹你該不會還沒見過許教授吧？」31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzDXj0b96gk
「你們說……許墨？」31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmwlV4Jk1Lq
31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR3KabYcYQG
微瀾低聲問，語氣雖然穩定，指尖卻輕輕收緊了一些。31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5vKdmUWtMy
「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。」31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNM7kQdfUKE
有人順口回應，沒注意到她的細微變化。31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3joYEhVeFx
31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7T3x5xPYWU
「嗯……」微瀾垂下眼，輕輕摩挲著手中的筆。31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡowpZL9IBok
31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJETldH9aES
這一刻，她知道——她終究還是要與他碰面的。31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGo4C5WHrur
31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRhrUA3gCZZ
只是，這一次，主動選擇的人，是她。31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRl6ZfLHDSp
