男人冷漠的身影從車裡下來，純白的襯衫和黑色的褲子此刻顯得格外冷硬。268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDGruGHvsFG
268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8onxEYgOPr
「乖兒子！」婦人上前迎接，一臉高興，「我可終於盼到你回來了。」268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdGncAxwiqE
268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9DZn6IQ0i1
他冷著一張臉，微微頷首示意。268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0BOXDYhbEh
268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX8rFJ7ZZcL
婦人朝後頭站在車旁另一個略胖的男人親切地說，「蔡先生也一起進來吧！這大除夕的，就不要自己一個吃飯了。」268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF5hHjk4lNA
268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQVb1e3eXCL
「不用不用！李夫人您太客氣了。」男人乾笑著擺手，「我待會兒就開車回老家，後天再回來接阿凡。」268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm1BNSKTnu2
268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdMB8KmSTBi
「這樣。」婦人一臉可惜，但沒挽留，「那好，預祝你新年快樂啊！路上小心！」268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU6gG8Se55O
268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0jRoN4EMYB
「謝謝李夫人！你們也是！」男人趕忙告別，「阿凡我先走了，後天再見！」268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaEMoMQNGf0
268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3Q22lC5PPh
然後閃身躲進車裡。268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7h9WgPV0S3
268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtMyBy2F9Wy
冷淡的男人無甚表情，轉身走進屋裡，婦人也趕快跟上。268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwHDNI8u17s
268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRKfU6ddoS4
兩人經過客廳，往飯廳走時，婦人小心翼翼地問，「那個⋯⋯小林沒跟你一起回來嗎？」268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2QQe12GsIa
268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNyBKOxBqnC
「回自己家了。」268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVWEfv9iTfa
268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWgHFsYe0DO
「啊⋯⋯這樣。」婦人放鬆了點神情，「待會兒你爸有件事跟你商量⋯⋯不是甚麼大事，就是⋯⋯反正你先聽聽，別太緊張，也別跟你爸慪氣。」268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm5ICADrVH6
268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT50p40fl2P
他沒有答話。268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNuH30Zgo2R
268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWGiQbsp5oD
飯廳裡另一個中年男人已經就坐，神情嚴肅。268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz04xos3M2V
268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsuq2ianR9Z
男人淡漠地頷首打招呼。268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXN6bHXAIo3
268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡusGSjagczt
「嗯。」中年男人沉著臉應了一聲，「坐吧。」268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0dpScuHxLt
268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKsij3LPrbW
傭人把菜都上齊後退了出去，三人默然開動，餐桌上只剩零星碗筷碰撞的聲音。268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTMQBKaSsN1
268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKCXkCAUzE2
吃了一半，中年男人放下了筷子，向著年輕男人說，「給你跟林家的外孫女安排了見面，記得把時間空下。」268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl1v12wVGvu
268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUG0WjRnKQW
年輕男人看了自家母親一眼，想到她剛才的囑咐，壓下想說的話，隨意嗯了一聲。268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUqwGmh2fiN
268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡivuiGiiqnX
「打算甚麼時候回去西班牙？」268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQyOxbcyssR
268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡinmqWyEHS2
年輕男人邊吃邊冷淡地說，「沒有計畫。」268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCbWU7f8J4J
268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡahg5pRtUau
中年男人眉頭深鎖，「甚麼？」268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZfjZKxWpjX
268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwgQiE26y7J
「我會繼續留在國內踢足球。」268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa0rCrkdYvc
268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIieZAABW4m
「你是說這個賽季之後，你還要繼續留在新鳴？」268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb2hi2CxZ8f
268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSvLIUWUu3F
「對。」268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZLN0khIIG4
268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmPFWNGyzVC
「所以，」中年男人的語氣都變了，「你要繼續踢乙級？」268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWsASAAftCW
268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnrRL8DGNDM
「贏了冠軍，就會去A隊踢甲級。」268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNYa21dH3Nl
268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfP2ISEdFDe
「現在問題是這個嗎？」中年男人厲聲說道，「這裡的A隊跟西班牙的A隊能一樣嗎！你是不是燒壞了腦子！」268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7G2qVwMqXS
268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyofsnBQFeS
「老公別激動⋯⋯我們說好跟孩子心平氣和地說的⋯⋯」婦人焦心地在旁邊勸說。268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxON2ozfWrm
268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ65smDGjvPN
中年男人不管妻子的勸說，大怒拍桌，「李與凡你給我清醒一點！我花這麼多心力栽培你踢足球，就是為了讓你在這種三流球隊踢這種不入流的比賽嗎？！」268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4IX06cJJIH
268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbgjciBCQif
李與凡依舊冷漠，緩緩放下了筷子，抬頭看向自己的父親，「我很清楚自己在做甚麼。」268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuDJGi4F0Wy
268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ78JNqNv7VH
李父怒然看著他，胸口起伏。268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQaRUPzSOPa
268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVvXEiE30uK
李與凡目光深深，面容不變。268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXqS7BAokS4
268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡorwLDugz9N
「我會證明，我今天得到的一切，都不是靠誰給的。」268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA1KOxBWT5G
268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuFJ3zn1SAs
268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZTYaNMKbyx

268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHS4SgnDBYp
268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmEbYnc3k52
另一邊廂，林家四合院老宅外。268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjaCcjdsAAf
268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA5fs1PWRhH
從南翠球場開車趕回來的林經陽，在大宅門口跟自己的父母會合。268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡixeWdLin8J
268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAPBjrTX5t7
他母親趕忙抓著他的手臂，「怎麼樣？有沒有請周總一起來過年？」268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr9ByUgALEw
268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKk3qxvmx4F
林經陽無奈，怎麼自家母親第一件事是關心周諾寧，「沒有。」268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoYSmmDcRNs
268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD4HbfMbgcS
「這樣⋯⋯」林母擔憂地說，「你表妹出了那樣的醜事，聽說本家是不想我們回來的⋯⋯本來想說如果能把周總請來⋯⋯唉，也不知道他們是怎麼個態度⋯⋯」268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAkOCQHGLYE
268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiZMTZ7OPMR
「沒事。」林經陽安撫，「反正總歸得有人代表回來露個臉，我們低調一點就好，老人家們應該不會說甚麼的。」268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEcEIIEfeFJ
268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKSHFnkvXIe
林父點點頭，「今年說是統一去正院問安，待會兒你自己進去打個招呼吧，我跟你媽在偏院待著。」268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo00890ZIkP
268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpXe9bY9b6U
「嗯，我知道了。」268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtrThUeBvAx
268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr3UjVN7dYB
穿過四合院的廣亮大門，迎接的傭人一個帶著林氏夫婦前去偏院，另一個則帶著林經陽到了正院，停在中堂的門邊請他進去。268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBtEe8xYyiK
268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR3JiREY5Cf
林經陽頓下腳步，看了裡面熟悉又遙遠的建築一圈，才緩慢地跨過門檻，進入屬於主人之家的中堂。268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFsZD9l3TzJ
268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsSdSnqmEUi
他走到中央的八仙桌，依次給坐在兩旁的長輩一一問好，幾位老人家都很有默契地沒有多提他表妹的事。268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKlHKIG9Sys
268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKUyiQTa8Vt
例行公事辦妥後，他便打算回去偏院找他父母，回頭就看到剛跨進門檻的熟悉身影。268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyDS6MRFx8W
268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ08cxr4wWdZ
林經陽上前朝男人笑著打招呼，「好久不見。」268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNS9Me1sR4l
268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvZTsJPmRCx
「嗯。」男人慵懶地插著口袋，「你父母呢？」268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbLIdZYCMJ8
268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTordWJVny9
「在偏院，我也正打算過去找他們。」268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjWky1B6icU
268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAb8xTJ0raS
「請他們也過來吧，今年整個家族都在正院吃飯。」268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOmxAovjakr
268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTd27LpKhbH
林經陽略為驚訝，「我以為⋯⋯只是讓我們進來打個招呼。」268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsh6Dv5ODqq
268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1WdZH76Z55
男人扯著唇，「那些不合時宜的規條，也該是時候廢掉了。」268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ84Lu1GE3P5
268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ69F8p7lI4f
林家的正統血緣是百年貴冑，歷史僅次於皇族之後的上官家，所以很多傳統守舊的規條一直流傳至今，例如林經陽這些旁支出身的族人，以前是絕對沒法踏進中堂半步的。268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuu73tw8FYj
268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlpXHpjVMoX
不過去年林家新任掌陀人上場後，好些舊規矩就被逐一廢除。268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe6eWx3YUU0
268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJfU5JJp7iB
林經陽笑了笑，看向不遠處正在和小孩子打鬧的年輕女孩，「看來你家裡那位對你影響蠻大的。」268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdqFNy9K9EK
268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSZ6Ev69GDA
男人勾了勾唇，不置可否，唯獨落了女孩身影的眼神裡，多了一層冷硬中的柔和。268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQMOYBLuH8U
268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW72Cybj25s
林經陽看了看四周，「你妹妹呢？還在國外嗎？」268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyrXep1Qlhb
268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhDMY3jZ0U7
「嗯。大概是在西班牙太快活吧，說是作業趕不上不能回來，等到年末的時候再看看。」男人神情鬆弛，「反正她被關在這裡太久，也需要多點自由，就任由我爸媽嘮叨去了。」268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7CTU4CXDBy
268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡljtY5Oi540
林經陽失笑，很明白他說的意思，「看這樣子，再過幾年，你父母該給她安排婚事了。」268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXzV6qj5y75
268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1MFUMmHoTm
「就是啊⋯⋯」男人若有所思，想到那條他還沒能改變的規條，「父母之命，媒妁之言⋯⋯看似天經地義，但誰又真的那麼幸運，能被安排遇上那個最適合的人選。」268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6mh5SPfyIm
268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCSrWA9HsYw
林經陽笑著抬頭看天，頭一次有些慶幸自己是出身自旁支，「看來出身正統，也未必永遠都是好事。」268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXla7tHI8D9
268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT3azwI8sda
他家的公司是服裝界的龍頭企業，以前同學總把他當成小太子爺，百般討好奉承，令他總有種優越感，自認出身不錯，足以讓人稱羨。268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGj5BAD0jXd
268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQHirpknM1N
可是當他母親總抓著他切切教誨，叮囑他一定要努力學習，拼命發奮圖強，絕不能讓林家那群人瞧不起他時，他慢慢搞不懂他爸媽到底還有甚麼不滿足。268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqeWCTTDKVY
268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzMcJjK8YM1
當他漸漸長大，學會觀言察色，才赫然發現在他名字裡的「林」，跟別家小孩的那個「林」，原來還可以如此差天共地。268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIyO1wK1PHj
268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4ciiBthsQf
百年家族林氏，身為四大貴族之一，有座寬大的四合院大宅，代表著林氏悠久且堅毅不屈的歷史，是整個家族的根基和象徵。268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxB6wSGdXLA
268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ70M6mNeGin
能在裡面生活、奔跑、長大，是一種身分的肯定，而繼承它的人就有如擁有天下。268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhNPKeBCRqn
268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt3Z4qkWeS3
可裡面天地再大，卻永遠都不會有屬於他和他家人的位置，他們只是這遼闊庭院裡，可有可無的青草綠葉。268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9rBDubpegc
268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsC2QVJyidA
他們必須要存在，卻又要像不存在那樣謹言慎行。268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp4qYnuufru
268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYJ6JolQEA0
從那時林經陽才明白，原來他們沒有的東西，還有這麼多。268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTqhpxU5QJa
268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmvEARiT6pM
真正令人稱羨，擁有一切光環的，是站在祭壇最前一列，牽著太老爺的手，在眾人的目光之中上前拜祭的一人。268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx6Ashg06kA
268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGeYH9WmqnA
而那人，就是面前這個與他年紀相仿，卻已經是林氏現任當家的天之驕子，林景軒。268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRZWhwAuREG
268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS1PZ6ZJrVQ
「是嗎？」林景軒挑眉回視過去，「那你擁有身為旁支的自由，讓你選擇到了你想要的人了嗎？」268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLA4euVHJNu
268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu30SLIgAcB
林經陽遙望遠方，神情意味深長，「選⋯⋯當然能選了。」而後又笑著自嘲，「只是⋯⋯那個選擇並沒有選擇我而已。」268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMi2Pk4bNXA
268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdi8WRlFqTZ
林景軒勾唇，「看來周家大小姐眼高於天的傳聞，倒也不假。」268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm1IHIXOTmp
268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvAZIJSS0B2
「眼高於天嗎⋯⋯」林經陽輕笑了聲，曾經也以為是自己配不上她，「或許只是她心裡面，本身就沒有所謂的標準。」268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj77R1jHZM0
268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9iNC9YxneE
林經陽很確定，即使過去一年荊棘滿途，歷經許多不必要的跌宕起伏，此刻的周諾寧，正在度過她人生中最快樂的春節。268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxXh8t9vCfE
