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？317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpJ5K4HAHSD

「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。317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkL2egVN8VG
317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4o2zZZ9pLn
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。317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhjhpL3ZhAS
317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHXaHCE0WZB
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。317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb8hXkpYwW3

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。317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUbplmAzI6O
317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVw7xfaqxSA
一個黑影迅速從落地窗的縫隙鑽了進來。317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzzfuaoKEPi
317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRh98jQwzqj
大進驚坐起，外套從他昨晚睡覺的沙發滑落地面。317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTNU9a7bSdx
317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw5PB9av1v9
「Kiri！」大進用氣音說道。317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH3LhF7DRhs
317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ1uTRTjdcl
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。317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQFiAqoXnXg
317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr2K8708yQ2
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。317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaeIWXtkYW5
317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9oDsPaCmno
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。317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnZndbNCDeW
317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXYuP6oHSEC
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？317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz9jH9RYZqx
317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtiG1jhPIWv
大進吞了一口口水，慢慢地幫桑妮把被子給蓋好。317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKfMOwXwO53
317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOFYXKq8dKN
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。317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvNW8TLc0A9
317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi39AhSL1Fi
回到房間時，桑妮已經醒了，Kiri窩在她的腿上，快樂地呼嚕著。317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl3OGPNW3HJ
317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtiigZsqqIm
「臭貓，去樓下買罐頭，害我被店員笑。」317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡux7JMvmtPi
317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO9f8IOnl2g
「笑你什麼？」桑妮搔著Kiri的下巴。317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKKM4DfHCbX
317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ7O2wfCPJh
「笑我帶妹子回家睡覺。」317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC6g2cuMzxY
317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWSrMo0jZdH
「我們又沒怎麼樣。」317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE1qrHtsU7w
317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMi1AxciO6I
「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。317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB8SXuuNKs5
317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3CN1Pyz0Cc
大進低著頭把三明治和牛奶放在桌上，避開桑妮的眼神。317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡStotjzkdE5
317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1eMAqWsHc9
「還是說，你期待我們，怎麼樣？」桑妮抱著Kiri來到大進身後。317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5Ec6vmEtzN
317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZT8V6AeVU7
「我等一下要去打工，下午會去龍蝦坑那邊釣魚，要來嗎？」317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxw77OT8bmk
317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8jPelDZvre
桑妮吃著三明治，鼓著嘴糊糊地說著什麼好冷漠。317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2OiEZcHPy6
317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEHhgbrQCIx
「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。317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVkpLrskhJe
317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkum5KK1Rd5
「我沒手機。」桑妮小聲地說。317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡedAMOrpiFl

317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS5oFAL3DGS
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。317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmSayoDpauM
317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnuz4AkenlW
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。317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡodfFNgrdYI
317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwL65zmwBcp
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。317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAFhL6Flo4V
317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2V43PO6n9M
「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。317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyEIw7mF5CR
317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3PiEvPFJHv
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。317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl75Iz1u0h2
317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZmFgvTi9BN
大進還記得後照鏡中，蔚藍蒼穹下，桑妮的微笑。317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyYeNG15d8L
317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡif4EF9d6Ql
317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBA138XYtUN
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。317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMWG8i4FJ5I
317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlgnBgmVAS2
「楊大進！遲到！扣錢！」一道刺耳的訓斥讓大進頸後的寒毛豎起。317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPWxOCSnx1e
317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm5IgXLw0kx
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。317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRCBRY0nqPr
317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn00GTg63Pk
「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。」317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZrrGjtKHj8
317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvursTaoZrU
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。317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlX8ICyf7dz
317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUr984w6oOF
但大進從來沒看過敏怡教授穿過實驗衣。317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO0PIbzewMZ
317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡumSAcy7uB6
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。317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFR6O3hPyx6
317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUq5z3MxfjJ
「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。317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRoow6VC5EK
317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOMYqdlpd9U
「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。317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡisA6p3eK2U
317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVhUNqV8JRj
「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。317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPvFBCUstUy
317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyZjlZyaAsH
敏怡轉動門把，打開了通往遊客展示區的後門。317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjnMkYM8TMC
317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqDisyQFQGs
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。317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcAqbXhtT1M
317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmoksxBkTHN
大進好像看見水缸裡有東西在游動。317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGx4I5NyP4T
317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxDGETzHal8
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。317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmX9tqd8AQQ
317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqE9wnp8CX5
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。317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSZ3KZXfKIm
317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgZyQ4ppbX9
「幫一下。」敏怡回頭喊。317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxjhOC3PNR9
317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZTXdegyNJD
大進看傻了，趕緊上去稍微墊起腳尖便取下了遙控器。317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZFvhzvxPds
317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuPWqoV75xG
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。317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9nxdHvxj5b
317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtXGrX1HaMF
「妳這是職場性騷擾喔，敏怡姊。」大進板起了臉。317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMQAM66Ae1n
317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCsgW0H6ERl
「對不起……。」敏怡露出驚訝的神情。317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqfIUm5D4FL
317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNEiiJLMfhI
「騙妳的啦，呵。」317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj0Z6bAHQEL
317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYpwcA2IXkF
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。317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVR8Z0oRqkj
317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUAUJdoFdlH
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。317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOTzdWPe9vD
317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUl0Euy0LmG
「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。317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpms6N5G19o
317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeFxZmhnQkE
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。317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVTRC01XIoS
317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8WY08gASUs
青色的水波紋在敏怡的臉上搖晃，她皺著眉，神情凝重。317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiORbP4Ym5U
317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaj2DZ6fsji
「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——。」317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU4Mgw496MB
317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeQPj0r60cf
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。317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBLUqlD9LZU
317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYYWBUk9zkW
「——大事就要發生了，我有預感。」317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgV9SkBSIJw
