「妳考這什麼分數！？」556Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRgl6KNjXAb
556Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7FQ5jftQTX
一百年前，父親的書房內，十六歲的葛蕾絲．懷特（Grace White）像做錯事的犯人，站在拜占庭風格的米色地毯上，被人審問。556Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAP6giAOzDQ
556Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIoGEcprt70
「其它就算了，為什麼連英文都不及格？妳是在洛杉磯長大的，不是台北！」556Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmXZU16VKkL
556Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWogqLD2C0q
她的父親，她那在學術界赫赫有名的父親──阿道夫．懷特（Adolph White），收到女兒成績單的當下，差點氣到中風，血壓估計和葛蕾絲的成績單一樣，都是紅字。556Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgpuR4wUfBQ
556Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDgbbRP4fB7
「洛杉磯才不會用那些字。」556Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmRekWbyx1U
556Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK7fcwGejAK
葛蕾絲心想失算，自己每天守株待兔、打算攔截成績單，阿道夫卻私下聯絡學校，說成績單直接寄去他的研究室。果然，自己女兒在打什麼主意，父親都知道。556Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQpLHx35pO2
556Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp6MT2XuiWm
「30名……班上才33個人，還有兩個生病缺考！」阿道夫繼續罵：「妳哥哥三年的排名加總，都沒這個數字大！」556Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwRGTkR3D7I
556Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE7D6mioob4
聽到「哥哥」兩字，葛蕾絲理智斷裂。她不是乖乖挨罵的類型，葛蕾絲反問父親：「你為什麼只看那張紙？我拳擊比賽拿金牌，你也沒稱讚一句！」556Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8qrpiZfQ6y
556Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI1MBxCW3aa
「我沒有反對妳玩社團，但妳的身分是學生，不是職業選手。」阿道夫再罵：「妳不讀書，以後能幹什麼？當隻宅在家的阿米巴原型蟲、等著嫁人？妳也沒男朋友！」556Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUjCtzwoDCd
556Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuFkmknLuUe
真是夠了。葛蕾絲握拳，忍住揍人的衝動，回了句：「難怪媽會跟你離婚！」氣得走出書房，甩門離開。556Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt4mgsDMD1p
556Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqnq8o8psgm
「讀書讀書讀書……除了拿我跟哥哥比較，那老頭還會幹什麼！」556Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf8QlDRhgsI
556Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOGTLQanfLP
回到自己房間，葛蕾絲從床底下拿出工具箱，拆開今天一早寄來的包裹。書桌上有她自己畫的設計圖，葛蕾絲只瞄一眼，便把設計圖扔到旁邊，將包裹裡的木材拿出來，開始組裝。556Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcu548Lez3v
556Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdxa9rZFNVB
敲敲打打，一會兒用鐵鎚，一會兒用電鑽，還用鋸子慢慢割。葛蕾絲無師自通，年僅十六歲的她，廚藝、手作、木工、裁縫……什麼都會，儼然是個天才，就是不會讀書，也很討厭考試。556Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlEh6VXsR1N
556Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ11YVTlZSDJ
雖然父親是大學教授，但葛蕾絲不懂，課本寫的東西可以幹嘛？唸到高中，也不見哪一科的課本有寫「如何修電腦」、「如何煮一桌好菜」，一點也不實用。556Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeV6jlpqmv2
556Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLxMggFFhUY
與其花錢，葛蕾絲寧可自己動手。因為沒有放獎盃的櫃子，她自己買材料、畫設計圖，不必擔心尺寸不合、需求不合，什麼都自己來。556Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy393VPx2v5
556Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7Bw11RG8EV
「叩叩。」556Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMDg9r7O7nj
556Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3sb9H00ZVT
聽見敲門聲，葛蕾絲停下動作，走去開門。站在外面的人，有跟她一樣的銀白色頭髮，也有跟父親一樣的琉璃色眼睛。556Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPTXL9sFFUm
556Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmqPdzLrCft
「幹嘛？」556Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0cDEihqECs
556Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvEjIvdAynK
葛蕾絲的口氣沒有很好，也沒有很糟。她高中練拳擊，剪了一頭很短的頭髮，只比哥哥的頭髮長一點。556Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZU7UO67Vlz
556Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNdHOn4yUFN
「妳在做什麼？」556Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE1SJlGIL32
556Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkmZrEyFINl
里奧．懷特（Leo White）──她那剛滿十八歲的哥哥，雖然有一張好看的臉，卻總是沒表情，也不怎麼笑。556Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLm2Y2JJ4Zi
556Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKRx3lwgs5y
「我房間缺一個櫃子。」葛蕾絲再問一次：「你幹嘛？」556Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzJJFvD5LCo
556Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj64cJgSFbq
瞄了眼房裡的半成品，里奧告訴她：「聲音很大，我在念書。」556Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZcwczdtcvP
556Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoZ8zGiRnrc
想起剛才和父親的對話，葛蕾絲莫名火大。556Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwX99qXSDuv
556Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrvVj8TAuKo
「你不是有耳機？」556Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKpUtjJpudM
556Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWRyPeHQTac
「……。」556Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyXPGmlzUgH
556Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWtFfTuxHmT
「這些工具就是這樣，會發出聲音，很吵。」556Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqGXfIpCcbW
556Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡITcBMbtWEF
葛蕾絲臉上寫著「你想怎樣」四個字。里奧沒有多說，默默走回自己房間，戴耳機，開音樂。556Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj5GHGcRO2q
556Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLV6lFdb3HJ
關起房門，葛蕾絲繼續忙。她拿著螺絲起子，一邊鎖螺絲一邊想哥哥的事。556Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUU4w3UOU4S
556Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4avyMmM6AQ
他們真的很不一樣。葛蕾絲不會讀書，里奧很會；葛蕾絲很愛講話，里奧不愛；葛蕾絲喜歡熱鬧，里奧討厭。要不是頭髮顏色，沒人相信他們是兄妹。556Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg1VSIDF7Gb
556Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ1MibTOgT9
打從小，還住在洛杉磯時，他們就知道彼此性格南轅北轍，生活圈也不同。葛蕾絲記得：她常和一群男孩踢足球，那時候的里奧會提著小提琴盒，從球場旁走過去。就算對上眼，兄妹倆也不會打招呼。556Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw0w1IEY2TF
556Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDvZQyIlf5F
他們關係沒有不好，無論葛蕾絲用什麼口氣說話，里奧都沒有反應，要吵也吵不起來。與其說兄妹，更像不熟的室友，各過各的日子。556Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaDdkhrK3G6
556Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJoq1DhmZjJ

「店長，下班的卡我先打，這十五杯外送完，我就順路回家囉。」556Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4x1CxK8aUy
556Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhqwBtBQM6Q
556Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqyyjK5wc10
基於對父親的報復，和在洛杉磯養成的個人主義，葛蕾絲高中畢業沒有升學。她做過很多工作，速食店、冰淇淋店、文具店、飲料店……原本都是打工，但她機靈、學習力強、反應快，不管在哪工作，兩個月後都會升職，變成組長或轉為正職。556Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmxD9LvVmOF
556Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAcFRSTMwSY
比起念書，工作快樂多了。雖然會遇到白目的客人，但不用考試、不用去學校，努力賺錢再開心花掉，葛蕾絲很喜歡這樣的生活。556Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqEbE3z0RVl
556Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoncY6xu7Rd
載著十五杯飲料、騎著自己買的摩托車，葛蕾絲發現這次外送的地點，是哥哥讀的大學。里奧在學校頗有名氣，因為他成績好、獎學金領不完，還有那張臉──葛蕾絲承認，她哥哥確實很帥。可惜啊，連朋友都沒有的人，當然也沒有女朋友。556Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ90opAUOFGV
556Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe0oT7zOHv2
「久等了，你的十五杯飲料。」556Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlLaMIYGKng
556Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmwD4bUT3fj
抵達學校側門，幸好叫外送的不是里奧，是一個身高偏矮、骨架很小的男同學，五官很秀氣。556Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKN75y6n03K
556Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxWniHwhyHU
「謝謝。」556Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJGRl8I8MYf
556Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNcq7IoEY8B
確認東西沒問題，男同學沒有離開，反而盯著葛蕾絲的臉。她覺得奇怪，開口問：「怎麼了嗎？」556Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8YRNAGTCxY
556Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa1RwQuqwQc
那位同學歪頭。他有一雙漂亮的、灰色的眼睛，卻始終半開，還有淡淡的黑眼圈，一副想睡的臉，感覺很慵懶。556Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxUvDT7V3ik
556Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi9KduvFDtZ
「妳是里奧的妹妹嗎？」556Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtabZaM6PkV
556Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOwhQ87LQn4
葛蕾絲嚇一跳，但冷靜想，自己的髮色並不常見，聯想到里奧很正常。556Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsFr9vq11rj
556Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXdsruCTqKQ
「你認識我哥？」葛蕾絲沒有否認，反問對方。556Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT4aVZdtthF
556Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6EGOuDKQM1
「嗯。」灰眼睛的人點頭，「他是我朋友。」556Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡheWEmNcJDg
556Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqVowCxeFh2
「他有朋友……！」556Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZzWffeieyu
556Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg9DUUyBwj5
葛蕾絲不小心說出真心話。灰眼睛的人一聽，輕輕笑了兩聲，表示：「你們真的很不像。」556Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1UoB43nr1d
556Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWJ39uqh7HV
「除了頭髮顏色，我們沒有一個地方像。」556Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2183GrOeIs
556Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA47xl9Oo8X
里奧的朋友，這種稀有亞種不能隨便錯過。葛蕾絲自我介紹：「我叫葛蕾絲，你呢？」556Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsDZuyereHQ
556Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJkS0fHI2Ra
「『高宇維』。」灰眼睛的人停頓一秒，又說一次：「妳可以叫我高宇維。」556Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4HTgQoR9up
556Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0LcKgZwUoG
猶如平行線的兄妹，竟然因為高宇維出現交點。高宇維邀請葛蕾絲：「交誼廳離這不遠，要不要陪我聊聊？」556Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgPMAsvc3g2
556Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVYGxuTJcBv
「你的飲料……」556Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN3Mz5HaTyX
556Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDlvalYVIom
「十五杯都是我的。」556Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUgmtfNMYvP
556Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdCFDbNhUdy
葛蕾絲一愣，「你一個人喝十五杯？」556Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXs0Bw9hFt4
556Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPOkIroURWN
高宇維不覺得奇怪，「走吧，我們去吹冷氣。」556Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX7OVFK8QPZ
556Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy6RH2HHwDx
說完，高宇維帶葛蕾絲，來到擺著沙發，還有一整面落地窗的交誼廳。他們挑一張沙發坐下，高宇維拿出吸管開喝，也分一杯給葛蕾絲。556Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcS9HUYAgQq
556Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTOfgjrfb6u
「謝啦。」556Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8UQRAk5C8h
556Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ19WUzioHkq
葛蕾絲舒服地靠著沙發。剛下班，她確實需要放鬆，沙發冷氣飲料，簡直絕配。556Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEBH0cYhEK2
556Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvNYHdNuaie
「里奧今天課很滿，應該沒空過來。」高宇維喝著紅茶說。556Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2tJK1IRDkc
556Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJj4XMzQQyl
「你們怎麼認識的？」葛蕾絲忍不住問。556Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZiEQSfZ1BL
556Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡggBaNAYvQc
「一堂無聊的通識課，和一份無聊的分組報告。」高宇維回想，「報告題目是……我忘了，好像和在地文化有關。我們去台中實地考察，莫名其妙就混熟了。」556Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm5kHt2wVQ7
556Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm6kwfIoshu
里奧跟人旅行的畫面……葛蕾絲好難想像。他哥哥左看右看，都不像有趣的旅伴。556Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlhEKea1Nrd
556Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6yCEf00QNv
「他很常提到妳。」556Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8t93uObMHF
556Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm1gz2qiWJB
高宇維突然迸出一句。葛蕾絲滿頭問號，「啊？」556Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡketeRRKNus
556Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyRT7g1k2uG
「我們在台中吃了很多甜食，蛋糕、蛋捲、蛋塔……之類的。」高宇維說：「每吃一種，他的回饋都是『我妹做的比較好吃』。」556Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡet9jVHE519
556Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzmyUFr2WbW
「……！」556Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvTVBaQsnaJ
556Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV8PjVblEGm
葛蕾絲睜大眼睛。不僅如此，高宇維還說：「看到健身房的專業教練，他也說『我妹比較厲害』、『我妹是全國冠軍』。」556Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdq51gszYX4
556Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwn7Vz4jTXD
「……。」556Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY6AicFrJmG
556Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdKxzA2pLbA
「去很多地方、遇到任何狀況，他的開頭都是那幾句。」高宇維細數：「『這個我妹做過』、『這個我妹很擅長』、『我妹做的比較好』、『我妹一定知道怎麼辦』……他覺得妳很厲害。某種層面上，他其實很依賴妳。」556Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVC35lIbNAd
556Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTtrSunlecw
「……。」556Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0RNKFcMHQU
556Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX9BN6vuD6J
葛蕾絲驚訝到說不出話。556Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe2jk8Nd0Vn
556Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzc0Oxywim5
他的哥哥──那個很少講話、面無表情、各方面都很優秀的哥哥，竟然覺得她很厲害。556Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGVPAM3KJJg
556Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBeIrypUTOU
「我們幾乎不交談。」葛蕾絲感到愧疚，「『為什麼妳哥可以，妳就不行？』我爸的起手式都是這句。」556Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIPuu05HhLq
556Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN0Osghi7SG
「嗯，他知道。」高宇維正在喝第二杯，「他以為妳討厭他。」556Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4TzNBE89SB
556Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsCFaaFZKgn
「我沒有。」葛蕾絲澄清：「我們只是不熟，我也以為他瞧不起我。」556Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUT6xQWM2Ud
556Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS2FRiMKhoq
「沒這回事。」高宇維微笑，「他不擅長開話題。如果妳主動跟他說話，他會很高興。」556Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcwjUScymmt
556Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpkKKHC9wSI
葛蕾絲瞄了眼高宇維。這人雖然一臉沒睡飽，卻散發一股神秘的、古典的氣質。能跟里奧當朋友，果然不是凡人。556Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkqZGTdyaRO
556Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRE8MiXlTkm
閒話家常後，葛蕾絲和高宇維道別，一個人騎著摩托車。父親不在家，里奧在學校，葛蕾絲幫自己做了頓晚餐；但不到九點，她又餓了，正思考要煮什麼來吃，大門開啟，里奧背著書包走進來，兩人對上視線。556Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6g2z1JOVCj
556Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMl0gu4BpPR
「……。」556Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2GQTx6G6yJ
556Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVWXlCmlaIh
里奧和平常一樣，很快就把視線移開。葛蕾絲主動問：「你有吃晚餐嗎？」556Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5jRPPjZSMa
556Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzSby0aQZMs
里奧微愣。他回頭，葛蕾絲把好不容易留長的頭髮紮起來，走向流理臺。556Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzDAKSgi5wT
556Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡucn8YRoQnr
「我要煮宵夜。」葛蕾絲問：「你要吃嗎？」556Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKrwBE5gXvx
556Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTuvUm8r7Cd
「要。」里奧一秒回答，還點餐：「拉麵。」556Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH5PsppWmro
556Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr9MfZxtASg
「好啦好啦。」556Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWmvV55T0hS
556Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpjvn5dp8Al
葛蕾絲的動作很快，沒多久，兩碗足以登上美食雜誌的拉麵被端上桌。他們久違坐在一起吃飯，儘管里奧還是一號表情，但葛蕾絲感覺得出，他哥哥心情不錯。556Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWMVDpaltJf
556Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKYwzHFZ1yh
「我今天遇到你朋友。」556Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmfP0ZXEME0
556Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjutHioiUT0
葛蕾絲負責開話題。里奧問她：「誰？」556Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlQdK4mn9FQ
556Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2ugG3fRheP
「你不是只有一個朋友？」556Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX2lbF4UipZ
556Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8WzzNPOuZM
葛蕾絲這話是無心的，但里奧聽了很受傷，澄清：「還有小提琴社的。」556Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkZMxO526mQ
556Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSLVDypmf2x
葛蕾絲笑了笑，「名字是高宇維，一個人叫了十五杯飲料。」556Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj6j94VTYiO
556Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡADY1qWZjZY
里奧翻白眼。葛蕾絲覺得好有趣，原來哥哥有這種表情。556Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMO4X7HKeDe
556Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBg7HnrOvvM
「他每天都這樣。」里奧一臉無奈，「講也講不聽。」556Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq2rXpWm3AD
556Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2XWQDb8ySo
「每天！？」葛蕾絲驚呼：「不會得糖尿病嗎？」556Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy0c1GzfFZT
556Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSfPT7RsG6t
「……如果可以，他早就得了。」556Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfptMcAZsWl
556Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYMIaTXk5eE
葛蕾絲正要問什麼意思，里奧突然說：「妳不覺得他很像巨嬰嗎？」556Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzEVIKbHfyT
556Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq5ovvUTtk5
「巨嬰？？？」葛蕾絲滿頭問號。556Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFbApvCIg7x
556Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQL7akIX4vs
「我跟他去台中，如果沒抓好，他會被夜市的人潮沖走。」里奧細數高宇維的荒謬事跡：「解不開打結的耳機、找不到公車站牌、衣服裡外穿反、吃不出貢丸和魚丸的差別……他能活這麼大，簡直是奇蹟。」556Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLL4qiWem7N
556Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDQOrj0OTOg
「哈哈哈！」556Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡacZkIWm2Qt
556Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQAopt8tQHz
高宇維的奇葩行徑，加上里奧的口氣和表情，葛蕾絲忍不住大笑。能當里奧的朋友，高宇維果然不是凡人。556Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUqLX7R9wz7
556Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHfDLvuX5AJ
和里奧一起吃飯，葛蕾絲發現：拋開無意義的顧慮後，她能用一種自在的方式和哥哥相處。里奧沒有想像中冷淡，和葛蕾絲一起時很放鬆，因為妹妹什麼都會──確實，某種層面上，他很依賴葛蕾絲。556Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf4mHzOWe9N
556Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1uiNLTMVMQ
「你最近有看到老爸嗎？」556Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6FugjBDxiM
556Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8QC5zaN2Q5
餐後，里奧幫忙洗碗，葛蕾絲問起阿道夫的事。556Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0zdaXcwDem
556Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKLahDHF5aL
「沒有。」里奧表示：「他似乎很忙。」556Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVQLizMTZPk
556Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb1gCuC3zRv
「忙到不用回家？已經兩個禮拜了耶！」556Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXHAqDlo5Bg
556Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6Rxq8fy4Wm
葛蕾絲一說，洗好碗的里奧微愣，反問葛蕾絲：「這麼久？」556Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHU7V4J6f8Z
556Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ9691TNaFs
「我前陣子都晚班。打烊後，我去夜市晃三圈、買東西吃，再加上洗澡、吹頭髮、滑手機……每天三點睡覺，我也沒見他回來。」葛蕾絲說：「我以為他白天會回家，晚上才出門。」556Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ38YP6CtrC4
556Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5PsI1xolH5
「不，我白天也沒看到他。」里奧說：「我以為他晚上回家，白天出門。」556Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZUYzWWZR1Y
556Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjaMAL53syb
雖然稱不上感情好，但對方是父親，他們或多或少會擔心。556Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZsCiaugKoe
556Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWeRSi9BXkO
「依他那種性子，在路上被學生蓋布袋，也不是不可能。」葛蕾絲說。556Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsCpGbNZBMD
556Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeKkfnfBClx
「就算是，他也不會輸，爸可是跆拳道黑帶。」556Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPum4bmxsEd
556Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVQ3WMs8V7a
他們試著聯絡，手機卻顯示通話失敗，訊息也都未讀。為了找線索，里奧和葛蕾絲來到父親的書房，葛蕾絲打開阿道夫的電腦，她不知道密碼，但思考三秒、輸入一串數字，竟然成功解鎖，里奧覺得不可思議。556Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbPIEwRWQKq
556Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkmIVR4EKrr
「妳怎麼知道？」里奧問。556Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaDs321tOpa
556Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEvfjYSYovY
「他這麼自戀，又懶得記這些東西，密碼一定是他考上哈佛那天，我太了解他了。」556Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5yqbuVldW7
556Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMbATewEKlp
葛蕾絲點開阿道夫的信箱，收件匣很正常，但機靈的葛蕾絲點開「垃圾桶」，發現一封主旨奇怪的信件，寄件人寫著沒看過的名字：白絃。556Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBbkcz5jfQH
556Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqFs8BimAHA
「『奎茵博士（Dr. Quinn）的遺願』……這是什麼？」556Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaRk1nnba8L
556Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyRywXclBzS
兄妹倆互看一眼，隨後，葛蕾絲點開郵件。看完內容，里奧瞪大雙眼，難得露出緊張的表情，跟葛蕾絲說：「車借我，宇維有危險！」556Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbEQMFNCIxx
556Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAWXrp7nvDw
「……！？」556Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp4BbvThcKC
556Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsVzdBc3dD1
雖然看不懂信件內容，但里奧這麼慌張，葛蕾絲知道事情不簡單，起身表示：「我也要去！」556Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9xi8aIwyPe
556Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeP9kDYga4k

里奧只猶豫一秒，隨後，他示意葛蕾絲跟上。兩人衝向電梯、直奔停車場，忘記關掉阿道夫的電腦，螢幕停在郵件內容，上面寫著：556Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYTdfJkBVVU

您好，我是奎茵博士的研究助理，我叫作白絃。556Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1xASkCxACz
很遺憾，如主旨所述，奎茵博士已經去世。博士曾經交代：如果她來不及完成，希望您能接手她的水果塔實驗。556Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8itgbNmfjT
然而，我根據博士留下的資料，已經獨自完成實驗，成功創造了「艾莉絲」。有關艾莉絲的後續研究，我獨自一人無法完成，希望能得到您的協助。556Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmrZBPClnx2
另外，我無法掌握一些水果塔的動向。紅心傑克、睡鼠、書蟲、瘋帽、笑臉、黛娜、三月兔──如果您有以上七位水果塔的消息，再麻煩您告訴我，我會將他們帶回艾莉絲身邊。556Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6JaHm3fXPd
附件是我的聯絡方式，期待收到您的回覆，謝謝。556Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQkNvmJbAVZ
