雨水未乾的庭院飄著淡淡潮氣，梧桐落葉靜靜覆了一地。75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs4COQ4YvEn
陳志遠一身長呢風衣站立在門前，未經通報便自行推門而入。75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4yS3NG60Gc
葉宅的老僕見是他，也不敢多話，退得遠遠的。75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡttNH73f61r
書房門半掩著，裡頭傳來淡淡墨香與報紙翻頁聲。75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtTa6Dd3aUD
葉庭光坐在長沙發上，穿著家常西裝，手中攤著一本剛翻開的英文報紙。75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAaJ02EEBoF
見他進來，只微一抬眼，語氣淡淡：「你倒還記得這地方。」75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF1qpJlWHIN
志遠沒應，關門，坐下。75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEO4jt5rasQ
沉默了一會兒，他才開口——75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡccSOp84uTL
「明珠的事，是你安排的？」75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7MeNWGk8Bi
這句話問得很平。75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBIeS6AU1hz
不像質問，像確認。75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdf9i2K7iMD
「你不是一向消息靈通？」葉庭光把報紙折起，慢條斯理放到一旁，像是刻意不去看他。75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqnFEyM5vUJ
「你該問她，是不是早就不想要我這個父親。她自己說過的，不想跟姓葉的人有關。」75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVSOfEWtSUd
「那是氣話，」志遠壓著聲音，「你當真了？」75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW956aJXTOR
葉庭光輕笑，斜眼瞥他一眼：「你什麼時候開始這麼在乎她說什麼了？再說了，你不是跟那個蘇曼麗在一起了嗎？」75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOhbbKYC0Fm
「那是兩碼子事。」75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXY3IkiSo9M
「我捧紅你的女人，有什麼不好的？」75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHXBTipRE9c
志遠面色一沉，語氣低冷：「明珠是你女兒。」75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMPKyWkBbck
「也是盛樂門的人。」葉庭光語氣驟冷，「不是誰都能在主廳站穩腳跟的。蘇曼麗起碼懂得聽話，知道什麼該說、什麼不該做……你也不是第一天在這圈子走動，有些規矩，應該比誰都清楚。」75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTIB90mfq9u
志遠指節微微一緊，但沒有反駁。75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0nytzQOich
葉庭光看了他一眼，語氣淡下來些：75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUV3ODEOM2J
「你現在替人說話的樣子，倒和以前不太一樣了。」75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡafoC79Xs7h
志遠沒有接。75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt0X4exBmGg
只是沉默了一瞬。75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrQRjh9jRrF
「那你知道丁永昌前些日子去找了明珠嗎？」他低聲道，「他去副廳，看了明珠的戲——演出結束後，說了些話，很難聽。甚至……還差點動手。」75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFWmrjaJ7gh
葉庭光眉心微動，卻未接話。75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpRV8GdNFT6
「他拿曼麗作比較，當眾羞辱明珠。還說——明珠只知道靠人家撐腰。你應該知道這對她意味著什麼。」75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ1K9qHQd7F
葉庭光合上書本，沉聲道：「我也聽說了。他喝了酒。至於那些話……這些年我這個姓葉的幫了她多少，你是知道的。」75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtrC70ddIAQ
「這是重點嗎，」志遠打斷他，「是你給了丁永昌這個機會羞辱明珠。」75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe4IdjlLs4J
這句話落下後，書房靜了一瞬。75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsZtQt1HjAh
葉庭光沒有立刻回應。75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsON5LAlSu8
只慢慢靠回沙發，目光落在他身上：75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeS21mdh5kH
「你現在倒是比以前更在意這些細節了。」75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB0gS3RQtfP
語氣不重，卻帶著某種試探。75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLvKG1YEJiI
志遠沒有接。75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ7F8PXcwY5
葉庭光才淡淡道：75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBorWai4215
「我只是讓她知道，站得高，不是因為她想站。」75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9ZT5RIghr7
「她若只是靠一時的氣性走到那一步，那掉下來也不冤。」75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡllj89boyZP
「有些教訓，不受一次，是不會記得的。」75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmYsMlVexdd
志遠聲音低了一點：75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYG8cBBuC2t
「她不是靠氣性。」75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0EOPz15T14
「她只是太認真。」75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFMSilC01AK
葉庭光看著他，沒有立刻回話。75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlftGPXMWzJ
「你倒是替她說得很穩。」75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlyFgx4wWIy
這一句，比之前任何一句都輕。75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbBwjU4Ovkw
卻更像試探底線。75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡznhVoImlND
書房再度安靜。75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuuXNCecVwh
鐘聲輕響了一下。75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3jUb2tUMbd
志遠手指微收，骨節發白。75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzGVQqZd7Hz
「我會讓她回到該在的位置。」他低聲說，「不管你怎麼安排。」75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJEavU5oSgU
葉庭光沒有否認，反而微微一笑：「行了，這種事說破就沒意思了。你也不是沒玩過這一套。」75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnYavBq8JmQ
葉庭光端起茶，輕輕啜了一口。75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWvQkBCLAq1
「你現在的話，比以前有分量多了。」75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe5fTQ6IPtC
他停了一瞬。75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZy5fSknSJw
「只是別忘了，這種分量——不是只有你一個人有。」75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvvqsFnLKwH
這句話沒有說破任何事。75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4zCEba9MSA
但兩人都沒有再追問。75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpzbRkqKnof
志遠沒回話，只是望著他。75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqFUUYjhclb
眼神裡沒有否認。75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkeJC7Pfw6q
也沒有承認。75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5lLY7GE5xm
他很清楚，葉庭光手裡握著什麼。75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiaLaemuxl4
很久以前他就知道。75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9HqH4InLRy
而葉庭光也同樣清楚——75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡddKhtulI1A
這個坐在他對面的人，從來也不是乾淨站在外頭的那一種。75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNHilgun38c
—————75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqyOzitjikp
盛樂門的屋頂很高。75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxPbN7SYY13
高到站上來時，會有一瞬間的錯覺——75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1CnT2xnuDG
像是整座城都離得很遠。75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb7qvxlWX6q
風從四面過來，沒有遮擋。75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0rsqMB0bCg
樓下的燈火被拉得細碎，一盞一盞鋪開，像是誰不小心打翻的金粉。街道上人影流動，車聲時近時遠，全都被風拆開，傳不上來。75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTGUdCjOhxR
明珠站在欄邊。75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbdHnzpOUho
裙角被風吹起，又落下，一次比一次慢。75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtyxafr1DKL
她低頭點菸。75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6sHh0O35cY
火柴擦亮時，火光在風裡顫了一下，幾乎滅掉。她側過身，用手擋了一瞬，那點光才穩住。75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyNooXKoRIY
煙燃起來。75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkBhZOYuYHB
第一口，她吸得很深。75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRNV303hgKW
喉間一緊，像是什麼卡住了。75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVslCqRvQSu
她沒有咳。75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPG9iriM1Qp
只是慢慢吐出來。75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvCFtVamvyz
煙霧在空中展開，還沒成形，就被風扯散。75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwMLWbhKZeZ
像什麼都留不住。75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm2qICC5kb8
她看著那一點火光。75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzHkdrBuLq4
很久。75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwTejKJiav5
——「妳真的是不怕死。」75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtCf70xIPob
那句話忽然浮上來。75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmlJVTiA9FK
不是回想。75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM0hluvFulA
更像是還停在耳邊。75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfziYlaIEe8
她的手指微微一頓。75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4nqFkh2NmT
菸灰晃了一下，掉了下去。75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoeBWqEEIoj
沒有聲音。75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6voA2EeMqk
她低頭看了一眼，又移開視線。75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ50iGoUwvB2
遠處有樂聲。75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsRcf9Xzqpt
很模糊。75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpw4kAzEK2Z
節拍慢慢拖著，像一段快要收尾的戲。75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqoRDCBMHly
她閉了一下眼。75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS0zWNlSH8U
畫面卻沒有消失。75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOP3q3ioXab
反而更清楚。75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA8TX3ApUMy
酒會的燈太亮了。75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4V3x7kjlvS
亮到人站在下面，連影子都沒有地方可以躲。75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLaD7GxmoMq
笑聲一層一層疊上來，酒杯碰撞，裙擺摩擦，聲音貼著耳朵走。75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUGuXoAnfN0
有人靠近。75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4ly3FvtPab
太近了。75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJCLZHCmTU1
氣息帶著酒味。75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSFq8OJqWQt
——「現在沒人撐，妳算什麼？」75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaDPhKuLDmF
——「別給蘇曼麗丟臉。」75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7hPxJHZqxm
她的指尖猛地收緊。75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAlvDTe9tRp
煙被壓得變形。75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfxwTQIop3a
火星亮了一下。75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGzRmx9SSPg
像要燙到。75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYAR6G9moSo
她卻沒有鬆手。75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmBkg5c8wKe
風一過，髮絲貼在臉側。75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJZ6ZmCZhwF
她抬手撥開，動作有點慢。75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGmKcMARnC4
像是晚了半拍。75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC962iL2hKF
她重新看向遠處。75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxNah93U4Y3
舞台那側的窗還亮著。75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4jQwxDnw9p
光從縫裡漏出來，斜斜地落在牆面上。75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZN2J9aKvGq
那樣的光，她太熟了。75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwOlb5R756i
站進去的時候，人會被照得很清楚。75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXEkd3UuFcI
清楚到連呼吸都要控制。75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV9oT0UL7WO
她看過另一個人站在那裡。75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPhQUOPH2Or
很穩。75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXAJ59HyPkQ
沒有多餘的動作。75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZUequdf7gs
沒有錯。75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf4hII6ynZc
一次都沒有。75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFerr3o0Imx
那樣的乾淨，讓人連挑錯的地方都找不到。75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu6V0PbdXCY
明珠的唇角動了一下。75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0ghsPzwggw
像是笑。75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ1RcoSUlST
又不像。75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUFODr3Sz3g
「真好。」75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrFMNsaoy5x
她低聲說。75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡreXyaTFwAg
聲音被風帶走，連她自己都聽不太清。75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡymFIXQYev0
她知道那不是裝的。75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnsP8dF30Lb
也知道——75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcvO0cog4n7
那不是專給她留的位置。75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIyC6JYZYMf
胸口有一瞬間發緊。75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbmn9XmW9Wf
不是很重。75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoih6bEp0Ta
但一直在。75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBn7HNZL6uc
像有什麼慢慢往裡收。75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKLcGzV1NPH
她又吸了一口菸。75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsrlIcwnMwF
這一次太急。75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmF8rYMebct
煙嗆進去。75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuXoLVVDLz9
她終於輕輕咳了一聲。75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNQllUemEZW
聲音很低。75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO8O1aYGGzb
很短。75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRy7hoV3vHL
卻讓整個人顫了一下。75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE8uhHhDoi0
她皺了皺眉，像是在不滿這個失控。75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVSmFFljYCg
很快又恢復。75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnF9vytHfNW
——「既然妳還是我行我素，」75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLkYaA5xDO8
——「那就別上台了。」75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBFcR970aCw
他停了一下。75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUvDYBOyfSs
像是在給她選擇。75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgNxZYIoFfV
——「真要上，也行。」75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOeeg8dLLHV
——「去後面，替新來的那幾個墊幾場。」75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuyMUeoPEOq
父親的聲音乾淨、平直。75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKKkTYWfmJs
沒有情緒。75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡObAdaaKheA
也沒有餘地。75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw7B7qtayfn
她低頭，看著手裡那根菸。75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡocliWvCaio
已經燒得很短。75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhlIJS4PB9q
火光貼近指尖。75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAX5IcTI63W
有點燙。75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv24ix5cE9E
她卻沒有立刻掐掉。75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnml6J6Pn13
只是盯著。75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxUR6c5ng95
像是在確認那點熱，還在不在。75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBXlea5Czid
風過來。75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjPuUmwQM86
火星晃了一下。75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpd36bF6i5x
她的手指終於動了。75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqfwukKpBYM
慢慢捻熄。75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS4iG802BxW
這一次，用了點力。75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuIXVGXEYw3
煙斷掉。75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU2tYADb0tJ
灰落在地上，被風帶走。75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9HGAaYzVlw
她沒有丟。75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBMwj7Pwp0K
只是把剩下的煙握在掌心。75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEicPo3ybse
指節一點一點收緊。75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbT3SDgS3dR
欄杆很冷。75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbfAKYmUijE
她靠著。75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNB54TZY2sW
沒有動。75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWxzCflpSVF
樓下的聲音換了一輪。75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR36P012Gno
燈也亮了又暗。75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEd8uSX1yVr
像一場戲結束，又接上另一場。75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyIvZ8r78ZN
她站在高處，看得很清楚。75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9EeZ3GsXxK
卻忽然覺得——75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYBtbE6jehF
那一切，都與她無關了。75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5HPVR3fgO0
光還在。75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡObF6CHIVy9
很亮。75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmU8hHnxbNT
她看了一眼。75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuafqyTU9fP
沒有多停。75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWbTOnobGL2
像是已經知道——75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd5JyoSUh10
那裡不需要她。75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2J5QSvqsV0
她移開視線。75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhskLIsfRnF
風還在吹。75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzygfnvlSqM
她沒有再點第二根菸。75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKD4hps3Uh4
—————75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEfUystFnik
葉宅的夜很靜。75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkFt9wLS5as
靜到連燈光都像被壓低了一層。75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGkk9BWLatF
外頭的街聲隔著高牆傳不進來，只剩遠處偶爾一兩聲汽車碾過石路的聲響，很快又被黑暗吞掉。75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXbeyZC7why
窗半開著，風進不來，只在窗框邊緣輕輕停了一下，又退回去。75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNTEQgBQ3Yr
桌上擺著一瓶威士忌。75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhaNJJqMO94
葉庭光沒有倒滿。75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaJp9nqFhYb
杯裡只淺淺一層。75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOpMNjUtAmr
像只是為了讓自己有個動作。75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ11AQYR5AXo
他靠在椅背上，手指慢慢轉著杯腳，視線沒有落點。75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4HIHqRrIF1
書房很靜。75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHhCq4gZcHK
靜到酒液輕晃的聲音，都顯得清楚。75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKbAYcM333s
他視線微微偏了一下。75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdANcAYzm7N
那張照片就在那裡。75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK9inyLojhW
年輕的蘭心。75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRKrwTPItTM
還沒有現在的名字。75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT7FgEoUwL7
相框放得很安靜，卻剛好落在光的邊緣。75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLeGrFBXenO
不像刻意被擺放，更像是某一次停下來之後，就再也沒有被移動過。75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvLFVntFKsD
他看著她。75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlh2irqlJtE
沒有表情變化。75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4Xd6TZNyaP
只是指尖在杯腳上停了一瞬。75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdGCwdo5qG2
然後才慢慢往下沉。75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy9SbdVaN0w
——75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ5uLPYMupa
書房的燈偏黃，但壓不住空氣裡的冷。75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp4UZgPd2nb
丁永昌一進來，氣氛就變了。75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6gLXBUPwXc
變的更沉。75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVBRU7Vz4OX
他沒有坐穩就開口。75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3kTjFrIr4k
「葉先生。」75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1PgyaYuY1w
聲音不高，但帶著明顯的情緒。75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0MTsptx2V6
「你場子的人，膽子挺大。」75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAoD6CWAtsg
他停了一下，視線直接落在葉庭光身上。75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGdXbsB8pwC
「兩次。」75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL6A0j7WVnC
空氣頓住。75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXPEJitg17Z
一旁楊經理的筆停在紙上。75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAgdKMqqLRu
丁永昌沒有繞。75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5TDPt9CBfx
語氣甚至更冷了一點。75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlwz5kxbfdV
「我記得第一次，葉先生答應我，會給我個交代。」75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrMGR4WKiQ3
他微微往前傾。75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF6Bf23t1GL
「想不到第二次還是如此。」75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFLkyYGHqS7
他笑了一下，但沒有溫度。75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKj3aUkvEkA
那笑意很薄，像紙貼在刀口上。75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5t0NtJLJDD
他停了一下。75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS1vAJqCknn
視線沒有移開。75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa1Y9dSwMXj
「葉先生。」75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfIvomtPTVF
語氣慢了半拍。75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ454P6UXRx1
卻更準。75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcQDhZ7451i
「有些人，值得你這樣袒護？」75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnCJhu7C5NN
這一句落下去，房間的空氣像是被重新標記了一次。75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgqjba1XWMl
「還是說——」75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ60T6zTJsl5
他停了一下。75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3DurWLdUpr
「葉先生覺得，這個場子裡，有些人可以不守規矩？」75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGU1hvT6OXs
葉庭光沒有立刻回答。75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPHoMGyvqo0
他只是把手放在桌面上。75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ50a8pDszs8
指尖很輕地收了一下。75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr59PMc9kvG
然後開口。75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9FQmk86q2W
「丁先生。」75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHAZF2moeLV
他語氣不重。75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0R7vb5yMvc
但很穩。75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV1rEXZPJeM
「這件事，是我這邊失禮。」75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGAyod41hXS
這一句讓房間靜了一瞬。75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUTlcP5lLFY
丁永昌看著他。75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUDuMtVyATJ
眼神沒有放鬆。75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6beipaiFRg
「失禮？」75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPuo5bguIYB
他重複了一次。75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvA5NFNf7Qb
像是在確認這個詞的重量。75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB5RSR0DtV7
葉庭光沒有閃避。75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcecgb1VT3u
「下面的人沒管好。」75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcwK1ftbE7w
他停了一下。75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg21jN9ODkF
「讓丁先生不愉快，是我的問題。」75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOwjXfkvsoi
丁永昌沒有說話。75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkdneDuTxJ1
他只是看著葉庭光，像是在衡量這句「失禮」值多少。75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJB4sv2NYC3
然後，他往後靠了一點。75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm4wXfVcrsh
指尖輕敲桌面。75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkW0OCLAGXL
一下。75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRDpoL63wrj
兩下。75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUhynQyXmhT
「葉先生。」75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxuSaFcsJXh
他開口時，語氣依舊平。75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd0cdrmTEm7
但內容開始變了。75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVZBeRXOF05
「我一直以為，盛樂門只是生意。」75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxc6vfOrl1R
他停了一下。75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaiOhbhdS9Z
指尖輕敲桌面。75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCukvlWzRtw
「是娛樂場所。」75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhkVubczV0U
他抬眼。75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrAfkWPaWWv
「唱曲、跳舞，撐場面，換票錢。」75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡACee36EeTa
語氣沒有變重。75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡViilhuN7Yj
但字開始變冷。75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpFDUWOIzeC
「現在看來，好像不只是這樣。」75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFeMqp2FxWJ
他語氣很慢。75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡutkewXuJ5C
像在陳述，而不是指控。75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn3WCWds39S
葉庭光的手指微不可察地收緊了一瞬。75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡibTonP6Edv
停頓。75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMZKn1wqRSk
很短。75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnnRrmbOY8e
但足夠讓人聽懂。75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ54wnJDJEDl
「稅務、牌照、審查、甚至——」75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQe5W0elPC0
他沒有說完。75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJXE3Nv32e1
只是看著他。75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnUg1meBQ9c
那個「甚至」沒有落地。75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9uu1EqpDuV
但比落地更重。75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPhWlx1EsgV
楊經理的筆完全停住。75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdFtLnZ5w97
股東沒有動。75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2y071bC836
丁永昌語氣稍微放輕了一點。75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2MeZycTtDj
但那種輕，是收刀前的平穩。75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmrwldOYCGe
「我不是來翻葉先生的舊帳。」75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXbaSUooiac
他說。75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHCAAqo46GP
「我只是提醒一件事。」75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7Pl0VkWeL1
他停了一下。75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFILL8XimVU
「規矩如果在裡面不成立，那就會在外面成立。」75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuwwSmEsfdZ
這一句落下去。75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXA7UBeShx3
書房安靜得過頭。75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGHJatEcyPa
他最後才補了一句。75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoNggnZkYkQ
很淡。75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡggGyKN0Sy1
卻是壓在最底的那一層。75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi0USbnZWaR
「我不希望下一次，是用『調查報告』來談這件事。」75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPbXSRFM2It
「你說是吧，葉先生？」75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡftjFjUENsH
他沒有立刻回答。75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7uQXgJ2709
書房裡的燈偏暖，但落在桌面上時反而顯得更冷。75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡofyfdmJSBB
酒杯停在指間，沒有再動。75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTK6myIE0Hk
「用調查報告來談。」75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4wBQyhRbyk
這幾個字被他在心裡重複了一次。75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM5inL7sml4
不是語氣。75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdAh6AZUq7Q
是重量。75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ13REsojyg6
葉庭光很清楚那意味著什麼。75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyt1xLHFKMr
在座的每一個人亦是如此。75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwubiPicJos
他抬眼看了丁永昌一瞬。75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkm7NLIbwGg
沒有情緒。75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7X0ksHA08Y
但視線比剛才更慢了一點。75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW5fct2uTVB
「丁先生的意思，我明白。」75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtVZWXsTWCl
——75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn0MARcl0hb
空氣像被抽掉了一點聲音。75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLOEFqf2woX
葉庭光沒有立刻動。75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1bXlydqkAQ
他還坐著。75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTzVBTHwm3E
酒杯在指間停了一會，然後才慢慢放回桌上。75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbnY69FOvbJ
沒有喝完。75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYudArwzj4j
也沒有再倒。75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEvDV1whCnI
他看著那扇門。75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ36M2jjD8YV
很久。75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsbJ5Q1dmyU
門關著。75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6IWeZMde9J
但那人說的話，並沒有離開。75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIe8DDq0PWR
——「規矩如果在裡面不成立，那就會在外面成立。」75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDxceO4e4L0
他終於把視線移開門。75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEHWtxansCv
慢慢落到書桌另一側。75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfuIMPdFdPC
書房很靜。75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQG3eVdlpcf
相框在那裡。75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7g9dHUwHCG
燈剛好落下去。75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJsV9OYWp73
把那張臉照得很乾淨。75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzppTD3iQIc
葉庭光看著她。75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa0NOMz2n7s
他慢慢開口。75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeOhtjD3GyD
聲音不高。75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlgp1qN6wnt
像不是對任何人說。75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiNQWaoTY25
「為什麼妳總是要違背我安排好的一切呢，蘭心？」75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkszHdHBbR3
他沒有再看相框。75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmchgsfaOkm
只是把視線慢慢收回來。75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzzX4jp5mWA
像已經完成某個判斷。75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbmBlqSfR1F
葉庭光伸手，把桌上的電話拿起來。75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSJh54UtNC3
動作很穩。75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrE0KiOLQXL
沒有多餘停頓。75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0dfvYr5rs1
響了兩聲後，有人接起來。75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8XK5vtfm4a
「是我。」75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGe1bJOoXzp
他語氣平。75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBmplzRzgSC
沒有起伏。75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbgKaruDahs
「盛樂門這週的排演表，改一下。」75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMEMgcn93t1
——75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3N3UMwpXdn
夜已經很深。75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCDWZHA9C6r
窗外的街燈隔著玻璃滲進來，像一層被壓薄的光。75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB9kr346Pq5
沒有聲音。75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE6tVjOL4IG
也沒有風。75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQnvLNvi4pn
