住在便利商店樓上有什麼好處？那就是身體的作息會慢慢和著個城市同步吧？313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFQ4a4fqtNg
313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbhBedUxXiH
「叮咚」的開門聲早已變成背景的白噪音，穿過簡陋的夾層，頻率會隨著人們活動的節奏而改變。深夜裡，海潮的聲音會漸漸蓋過開門鳴響。313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡshIVxtdI4h
313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdJ9X3tXqhk
進貨卡車的滴滴聲和「貨車右轉，請注意安全。」在清晨時會響起，那時身體會漸漸醒，夢會開始複雜，眼皮輕輕跳。柴油船外機作響，膠筏出港。著橘色背心的海巡隊會目送著漁船，在如絲的海面刮出淺淺的白沫。313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKLpk880isu
313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoEDDjIkZqp
咖啡機、收銀機、飲料櫃關門時的風壓，在日出後也會開始噪。如果你這時醒來，可能可以看見雜木林中的鷺群成歪斜的人字，飛向灰色的海。313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB2jdYNoIJ1
313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFiRkA63lCv
大進醒來的時候發現窗戶沒關，海風搖動著紗質的白色窗簾。313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUJAfcvGLCw
313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4gfB9enLnK
一個黑影迅速從落地窗的縫隙鑽了進來。313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgqfLhgGxCA
313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7sHQk5fA4j
大進驚坐起，外套從他昨晚睡覺的沙發滑落地面。313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdNsmCGihkC
313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOa7RID8bsm
「Kiri！」大進用氣音說道。313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXXjHNmXcdY
313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKHbhxvk2Vg
Kiri在聽到名字的時候豎起了尾巴，胡亂應了一聲「喵」就往床底鑽去。313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡto6nBFkXla
313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDwAIdbqvvR
Kiri是麗灣附近的野貓，原本是沒有名字的，直到有一天一群日本高中生來觀光，說這隻毛色和清晨霧氣(きり)的顏色很像，便這樣叫了，牠本貓也很中意這個名字。313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiIKW7YBCcZ
313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD39Fr8lS3S
大進追著貓來到床邊，看見仍在熟睡的桑妮，麥色的腿由Oversize的衣襬露出，趾頭蜷曲著，夾著大進的床單。313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡroFtgXm3O1
313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWIWgOlCluD
昨晚雨後，他們回到租賃處，大進挖出一件舊系服給桑妮穿，輪流洗了熱水澡便睡了。大進昨夜睡在沙發上，脖子還有點酸，他想著自己應該沒有做出什麼踰矩的行為吧？313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ45sNe52AaG
313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlyPh70yXNW
大進吞了一口口水，慢慢地幫桑妮把被子給蓋好。313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyyDXJ6sC0t
313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDF42UJmpze
大進花了約半個小時和Kiri纏鬥，逗貓棒、雷射筆、衛生紙球，能用的都用上了，還是不肯從床底出來，最後只好下樓去便利商店買貓罐頭。每次都這樣。313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHRyCjaSSLR
313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdJ8qKIdIHq
回到房間時，桑妮已經醒了，Kiri窩在她的腿上，快樂地呼嚕著。313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ95w4Gt5eQ1
313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN2SDqf3nKT
「臭貓，去樓下買罐頭，害我被店員笑。」313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZVp4Gk5vOR
313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ616k9WeYQB
「笑你什麼？」桑妮搔著Kiri的下巴。313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpCEcIEnV4Y
313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH9U33lGpYm
「笑我帶妹子回家睡覺。」313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC6cOJWGSHe
313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfPWmWN8mlU
「我們又沒怎麼樣。」313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEKWDRXS6Tq
313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1KKju3uLXi
「嗯……。」大進摸了摸鼻子，他害羞的時候鼻子都會發紅，因此養成了假裝鼻癢的習慣。313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF9zosqvLkG
313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNd27DfXVEB
大進低著頭把三明治和牛奶放在桌上，避開桑妮的眼神。313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGaytVhX9mm
313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡioPZCe63qU
「還是說，你期待我們，怎麼樣？」桑妮抱著Kiri來到大進身後。313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgsVAJHprKO
313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE7wET1ZTXC
「我等一下要去打工，下午會去龍蝦坑那邊釣魚，要來嗎？」313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhqMdXyU9Tw
313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ58XompNzJu
桑妮吃著三明治，鼓著嘴糊糊地說著什麼好冷漠。313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy65u7zuFTm
313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdqkTr0gI1n
「你加我好友一下，海博館那邊結束LINE妳。」大進把手機滑到加入好友的QR-code畫面。313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw9c2JRUjnS
313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHBqwjJwSiI
「我沒手機。」桑妮小聲地說。313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4Jz1oeIs34
313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuuLRhbpM2e
313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeTlEK3E7wm
由麗灣通往柴城的濱彎道路很寬，是大進離開麗灣後才興建的，兩旁種植著海芒果，部分道路下方還有生態廊道，可以讓一些濱海生物通行，路蟹、寄居蟹、黑背海蛇。313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFV5XDXAFpW
313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqcJofH3dPu
大進的老檔車在道路上奔馳，其實抵達海博館最快的路徑是走內陸的省道，但那裡車多、速度快，不符合麗灣居民的生活節奏。濱彎道路是蜿蜒的，依著海岸地形建造，遇到年邁的老樹也會很有禮貌地繞路。313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN67etJk8m9
313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGezsNUqzih
車子是大進和被退學的歷史系學長收的，車子很古老，排氣聲也很老派。巧克力胎捲起木麻黃的針葉以及一些細碎的鹽晶。313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡINm6WXGUWS
313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG3SDkoG27S
「桑妮怎麼會連手機都沒有？麗灣有這麼落後？」大進邊騎邊想，海風吹亂他的思緒，讓他不自覺地鬆了一點油門。313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxxommx1YKO
313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSgoLrZbByp
離開租賃處前，大進又翻箱倒櫃挖出去年淘汰的舊手機，跑去樓下買一張預付卡，又被店員挑眉嘲笑一番，再用光速設定好LINE帳號，把手機塞給桑妮。313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhE7Hz5AN54
313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmaLQ4KvpFn
大進還記得後照鏡中，蔚藍蒼穹下，桑妮的微笑。313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLhYugvFgCZ
313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZvvGuk72vA
313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZwNzSzZDBs
來到柴城海博館，大進把車子側停在一棵棋盤腳下，棋盤腳葉子大又茂密，車子停這可以遮陰，也可以掩人耳目。他拎起安全帽，躡手躡腳地想從研究室的後門進去。313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ09wlDB3ZiD
313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcLgyRYcahj
「楊大進！遲到！扣錢！」一道刺耳的訓斥讓大進頸後的寒毛豎起。313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡie8FWy5Vvp
313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6ZZiROqAAX
大進緩慢轉身，手抓著後腦，擺出不失禮貌的微笑，「敏怡教授……早安啊！」他心虛地說。313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFREWNryF4U
313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3RKtpwA1Jz
「敏怡是年輕美麗的海洋研究員，年紀輕輕就有許多SCI期刊發表，在珊瑚礁系生物研究是世界頂尖的。」313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvVyQSahVSZ
313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnNCpArJmkF
以上這段是海博館宣傳手冊上的文字，旁邊還附著敏怡穿著實驗袍，雙手抱胸的照片，看起來十分有幹勁。313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZMeBxxJus5
313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKlsIE6XvRQ
但大進從來沒看過敏怡教授穿過實驗衣。313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1kvAdLpJfC
313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0VbiztbT82
此刻敏怡穿著短版的無袖針織衫、有扶桑花圖騰的海灘褲、夾腳拖。染成夕燒色的頭髮像是一顆馬糞海膽在頭後梳理成髻。313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwKIQQbh4nD
313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhadE2hKAhC
「出大事了，大進，我們研究室要有『大進』展了！」敏怡的夾腳拖在研究室的長廊啪啪作響。313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcl6SL3tl9L
313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNWKk7f6h93
「又有新物種出現了嗎？」大進抱著安全帽跟在後頭，看著教授雜亂的髮髻搖啊搖。313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHDDYI3xEQW
313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRDKtikgli3
「比那個更興奮的事。」敏怡華麗轉身，食指輕觸嘴唇，比了個祕密的手勢。313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgWZ8jonWWe
313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT1BZZm7nvG
敏怡轉動門把，打開了通往遊客展示區的後門。313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBAsSILn2vr
313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡly95iWe3wA
這裡是園區尚未對外開放的區域，地板上散落著各式管線與器具，液壓升降平台倚在巨大的缸體前。除霧設備還在測試階段，水缸的壁是迷濛的白。313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbJGweAW08o
313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfjWgCyeJwh
大進好像看見水缸裡有東西在游動。313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFFegSTYcGP
313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyoGyeaBJlD
未來這座水缸預計要入住的是白鯨(Delphinapterus leucas)，與日本名古屋港水族館合作，準備迎接去年十一月誕生的小白鯨。但日本那邊說小白鯨目前狀況不太好，還不適合長程運輸。313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡunLf1DiLU0
313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPGCQWQeVfa
敏怡在液壓升降台前跳躍，右手高舉，想要拿下被工人隨意擱置在平台上的遙控器，小小的腰窩在大進眼前浮動。313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM60X1b01CG
313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwsF8rhvGvh
「幫一下。」敏怡回頭喊。313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3AO90K9jAD
313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCs1JznPpe0
大進看傻了，趕緊上去稍微墊起腳尖便取下了遙控器。313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvFOfz6MO1j
313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn5z47X3uhd
敏怡趁機把手伸進大進的T-shirt下面，唉唷，有腹肌噎，她很陶醉地搓揉著。313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡim3B39QZZT
313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡApXbxjXk4G
「妳這是職場性騷擾喔，敏怡姊。」大進板起了臉。313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOdfCixuhX3
313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZivJCOCMtD
「對不起……。」敏怡露出驚訝的神情。313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVB3lIxT1jz
313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL5DiWllawA
「騙妳的啦，呵。」313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIlSKttVlLv
313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCDSjdq6RA4
液壓升降台緩緩上升，水缸的曝氣設備的噪音越來越大。一直要到最上方大進才看清楚缸子裡的生物。313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx4bLIAu4o3
313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYzsMFzbI5o
兩隻白色鯨體在水下游動，背上有淺灰色的斑點，額隆突出。但最令人震驚的是那長長的獨角由吻部突起，像一把鋒利的西洋劍。313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFV6JEUsFUW
313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwiPuad1ji4
「一角鯨！？」大進只有在教科書和影片中看過這傳奇的物種，但在他的記憶中，一角鯨的活動範圍是在寒冷的北大西洋海盆。313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrSBF1JOS6l
313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxohx3DmSxl
敏怡點點頭，她說昨天就有漁民通報近海的定置網，有被破壞的狀況，也有作業船隻說有看到鯨豚在麗灣海域出現。結果今天凌晨就有衝浪客在麗灣真的看見這兩隻一角鯨，牠們好像被昨天低氣壓帶來的長浪推進灣區，體力不足，游不出去。我們去看發現好像有受傷就趕緊帶回來治療了，而且日出之後不知道牠們會不會被曬死。313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRqnZfTNk1L
313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3lVpHyOhVk
青色的水波紋在敏怡的臉上搖晃，她皺著眉，神情凝重。313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPp49zOMsub
313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡocE7PzoJTI
「我不知道這些事什麼時候會被媒體發現，先是許多從來沒看過的物種冒出來，現在又出現一角鯨。我想說的是——。」313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8mrPcmGqah
313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZCv4SxL3DR
敏怡轉身過來，手指敲擊著金屬圍欄，眼神裡充滿光芒，像是盛夏的星砂。大進就是看見教授對於海、對於探索未知的熱誠，才選擇回來麗灣的。313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5bHGwmUZGL
313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXTLVClDH4e
「——大事就要發生了，我有預感。」313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYC9zLg5XZ5
313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfMfwmTaEPz
