侯邦彥把幾張桌子併成一大桌，方便吃火鍋。137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJCsssDDZxX
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4GnpdCsur4
該開飯了，但金淑蓉還沒出現。孟瑤函只能大聲朝屋後吆喝：「要吃飯嘍！金妮妳好了沒？」137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2qHtWHYiwE
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAXb79QTPam
「來了，來啦。」137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmXp9mkswmP
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJWMWNCITMR
金淑蓉就磨咕了好久才現身，竟換了一套粉紅色的洋裝，長髮也梳理整齊。137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIMjr7Avn7I
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmOcf33b7kX
好像還畫上細膩的妝容呢，令人眼睛一亮。137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHz0TOySM5E
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWV5fUHdEOk
孟瑤函看她亮麗現身，不免自卑感浮現：137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbb3KZqHl2o
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHoFjs4o7h5
舉手投足滿滿書卷氣的金淑蓉打扮起來，就是個貴氣的大小姐！137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ21umk80htw
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNQ4Ox1J6ft
倒是自己，從早到晚跟著侯邦彥東奔西跑。得知同學要住宿，就忙著整理房務，一身汗味，還來不及梳洗。137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOsZZ9x02r5
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPNVWLns3Ng
平平是女生，金淑蓉是小公主，而自己卻像下等丫鬟。137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7J253FMyKr
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPF9gvLaMC0
這種天差地別，孟瑤函不覺自卑才奇怪呢。137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYYtWSEb46M
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvkBFtmn6ft
金淑蓉盛裝登場後，一直在吧台附近逗。但侯邦彥自顧自地料理炸牡蠣，雖然眼角目光瞄到她的欲言又止，卻一點都不想搭理她。137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCsLJd3MXXA
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMmU9icjfsV
金淑蓉覺得無趣，回到桌旁，看到桌上擺了四副餐具，便找機會跟佟小蘭說悄悄話：137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHaiyjb4moe
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6JrSuv7oxX
「等一下開飯，妳坐瑤瑤旁邊的位子吧。」137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZj3CLleI2B
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ0utOL7qUu
「為什麼？」137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzXRGWCCrcv
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCklYhsCwtk
「別問了，就這麼做。」137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2cxrxJKdRr
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTWltmEuyEl
說完，金淑蓉臉上堆滿笑容、主動迎向孟瑤函，拉住她的手臂，刻意親切。137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV22hj59Agq
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe5pjOqSBy6
「瑤瑤別忙了！我們北上，是為看看妳過得好不好，找妳聊天，不是為了讓妳累。快坐下來一起吃飯，侯大哥也一起！」137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6cxmNPcYlY
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL9gGvmT76L
從前在學校，孟瑤函也曾與金淑蓉交好。但現在不請自來挽起她的手，卻讓她渾身起雞皮疙瘩，打寒顫。137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1lE51fGmZJ
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDUuBTANAEm
她輕輕撥開金淑蓉，努力維持表面的和善。137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhYhhbXKX2W
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbBUVloOfS3
「好，準備齊全了，開飯吧。」137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡokUQk8p98H
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNengNovTPw
三個女生先入座。佟小蘭坐孟瑤函身旁，金淑蓉則坐在她的對面。137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgCUAvteX1d
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTuo7nRYzV9
等到牡蠣起鍋，侯邦彥端著盤子來到桌邊，看見唯一的空位就在金淑蓉身旁。137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMTmc4yAq6X
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNSNrtgFj5K
他淡淡睞了一眼，沒多說話，默默用長筷把金黃酥脆的的牡蠣分到每個人的餐盤上。137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfHvIWsGkMY
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMHxPhM56Cv
「好漂亮飽滿的炸牡蠣呀！做這道菜要真功夫！」金淑蓉奉承道。137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLGXKNs8F9i
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡymlcGLx2hy
四顆牡蠣，一人一顆，但分到最後，侯邦彥在孟瑤函的盤子裡多放一顆。137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiKqBLA3f4r
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJcSi1NzTa5
「咦？大叔你不吃嗎？」她察覺到異狀。137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOszN154S9T
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkKzFU9ly8I
「嗯，妳們吃吧，同學們好好敘舊。西西不在Kokomo，我去幫阿朗，免得他倒台。」137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq6LNxMFkBN
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡprErIBmHFX
他臉上沒有表情。137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPZ1bVB1zOi
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQyQdjQJhKP
「吃完把碗盤丟在水槽，我回來再洗就好。今晚天氣晴朗，後院應該可以看見銀河，你們一邊看星星、一邊聊天吧。」137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyykWcfY2EF
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz0MP7NYZfS
說完，他又端出一大碗雜煮給阿逃。打點好一切，就跨上機車，油門一催就走。137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyaSCsKyzob
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiCEAjWnGcz
「奇怪，大叔為什麼不跟我們一起吃晚餐呢？明明他也忙了一下午，應該已經很累了呀。」137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfujvdgdSV1
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOLyQrRFGhW
孟瑤函想不通、又為他擔心；137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVdmanDl0uO
金淑蓉則一臉可惜；137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmagRYVgYjr
只有佟小蘭按耐不住直接拿起筷子，往火鍋裡紅透的白蝦進攻！
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE9k8R0Ib6g
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbc2C5wcHau
一頓飯，吃得孟瑤函如坐針氈。137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhrkbNwbSOW
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhr8fUcSFQO
但看著佟小蘭與金淑容享受著火鍋、怡然自得的模樣，她再再懷疑是自己氣度太小。137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGmilPV8PSS
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO5Fb4Kx1YA
「這昆布鍋口味真不俗！我看侯大哥不是用現成湯包，而是分次熬煮昆布、香菇和柴魚片，魚肉切片厚薄如一還刻花，太費工啦。侯大哥雖然穿著不拘小節，但整個人散發一種貴族氣質，他是不是留法國回來？學廚藝？」137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ93i4WNe5zk
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5852tLvW8A
金淑蓉邊吃邊問，毫不掩飾對侯邦彥的好奇。137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDx2wCQVeyp
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX0MHBRw6cU
「我不知道，但他好像有去英國留學。」137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7jELbzq6Uq
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFzTHdAlnxx
「瑤瑤呀，妳運氣真好，以工換宿竟能遇到cp值這麼高的機會！我要是遇到這樣的老闆，說不定書也不念了，直接搶飯票比較實際！」137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPrKaEY1uih
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8hqvwdckrs
吃飽的佟小蘭瞇著眼、撫著微凸的胃，活得像一隻雙頰塞滿葵瓜子的黃金鼠。137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcsjGUDrx9z
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdDPNwqrzKu
「還好吧。大叔的脾氣很怪，對朋友是挺義氣的。但嘴巴壞的時候，就很想拿砒霜毒啞他。」137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsmnG28cXPi
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAmf4UOaRvi
「不行不行，妳下手太重了！暑假還很長，妳不想做了記得通知我們，我和小蘭都很樂意遞補妳的空缺。」137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoMsRdom8vr
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA3EfHN1X1E
金妮意猶未竟，伸長筷子又從鍋裡夾了一片魚肚。137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2zlVmdiC77
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzE6naCTTiL
雙姝顧著笑，沒發現孟瑤函的臉色漸漸陰沉。137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0dKrIAUrH1
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFPAKrB8Fpb
「老愛盯著別人、搶機會，創造一個屬於自己的機會，很難嗎？」137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRWl4z6NZ2t
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCCSK8rCFIQ
孟瑤函這是一語雙關，佟小蘭與金淑蓉都聽懂了，氣氛頓時降至冰點。137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0pwzoLPdxu
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKvs7HM3ei0
有些事，也不能一直放著不處理，直球對決說不定有奇蹟。137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo3DbIbUZgy
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3BfgNU9GTh
「唉呀，我吃飽了就犯睏，跟豬一樣。從k市趕到鯨鰭灣也花了一天的時間，累死人啦，我要先去洗澡嘍！金妮妳就讓我佔點便宜，明天我再幫忙收拾唷。」137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVbRF3FrLzh
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFpQidc7KDF
佟小蘭趕緊找藉口離開現場，讓兩人好好聊聊，漂亮開溜！
風波的兩大主角，面對面坐著。一時之間，沒人想先開口。137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkXgsCnHxe0
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnymhHhwwUq
但『氣度』的高下修養，終究還是有差別。137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVXWpcNSo7F
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs34uVJ4SeC
金淑蓉神態自若，拿起湯杓繼續幫自己添了一碗帶湯底的冬粉，小口小口吃相漂亮。137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEgRIPEHc24
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ20NmObFZu0
她妝容精緻的側臉，因火鍋的熱氣更顯明媚，也讓孟瑤函的心裡更不是滋味。137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpVK6bcxB54
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtAL5qaFtsd
「妳的胃口怎麼能這麼好？我被妳搞得連覺都睡不好！妳竟然還敢跟著小蘭來這裡？」137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUyfFHMLO7A
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbh0TC4Pys8
「我又沒做錯事，為什麼要吃不下？而且侯大哥幫我們精心準備晚餐，吃不完也太失禮了。」137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmfCYN6fdMC
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqDmNNTbHhX
聽她理直氣壯的言論，孟瑤函的眼眶立刻激動泛紅。137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLvKrAugE1e
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIRvwi2m8nP
她很氣自己，明明抄襲的不是她，但她卻震怒、發抖。137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMm8f5RsExF
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPf5XhNDVk1
看起來理虧的反而是她！137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjKu6WBTIsX
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXvAgdH3G9p
即使到今日，孟瑤函還是沒辦法向別人解釋，為什麼這種『天降髒水』會潑到自己身上？137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGhimsnXyag
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtIYsHBM5Xa
有些事，她自己都解釋不清，但她知道金淑蓉比誰都清楚。137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL7ng8aVCoQ
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr44yFjXzrA
「妳真敢說，當初我的『南城故事』還在構思階段，不過跟妳聊天時提到初步的發想，當時妳還跟我說喜歡這個故事，建議我擴大它的架構。誰知道妳竟然把我的創意整碗端走？同一個題材在同一場比賽亮相！害我被大家懷疑是抄襲妳，也不幫我說一句話？還虧我把妳當朋友！」137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCDPqwMPskr
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9IZSkCJK7R
營業廳裡只剩她們倆，孟瑤函不再忍氣吞聲，把金淑蓉的可議之處一一指出。137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuCmGuuzIlI
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHSO37JzPat
對比起孟瑤函的義憤填膺，金淑蓉依舊是一副老神在在、天塌不驚的鎮定。137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM4Sf6WSulB
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhnIPKkgT0b
對她的聲淚指控投以微笑。137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7HxeABUeTT
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ05NOXnKHpz
「一個想法在真正成為作品之前，就只是一個念頭。沒有形體的東西，妳怎麼能硬說它屬於妳呢？」137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXkrmRQ96pR
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡODTJPecNYR
她淡淡地斜睨孟瑤函一眼，如果不是坐在她的正前方，就不會看見她眼神中的輕蔑。137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPBvdn9Sf7K
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiBvfOq6eCy
這讓孟瑤函更憤怒，整個身體都跟著戰慄起來。137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡih6vlqjCKT
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2mltXFqGxt
「說實在話，那一晚，妳跟我提的概念實在太粗糙了！即使我們倆交出類似的作品，為什麼我的受到肯定、妳的卻被大家認為是仿效？當然是我的小說完成度高！妳的還是原始資料。妳呀，創作能力終究不如我，大好的題材給妳，只會平鋪直敘。妳瞧我的小說，加上魂穿，把南城的歷史與奔放的想像融合在一起，所以得獎。我是靠實力贏得這次比賽，與大家的肯定！」137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk9Ux5RVRWA
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqiJzHWobXR
「但是那是我的創意！我的發想！如果妳沒有跟我聊天，妳會寫出『夢迴南城』嗎？」孟瑤函怒不可抑，拍桌起身對她吼道。137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHdlvHiV9v9
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ13v7upBm5S
「妳還是不甘願，是吧？」金淑蓉驕傲地撩了撩自己烏黑柔亮的披肩長髮。137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjT3P7lzrly
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKpTZdZ7FEv
「那麼請問：如果妳是這題材的第一位發掘者，為什麼妳的交稿時間反而比我遲？」137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOazeKDANum
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmZksR9UrPz
孟瑤函瞬間愣住，說不出話。137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz9KuPijt1F
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzqKrrLvrvp
金淑蓉的臉上雖然掛著微笑，但看人的眼神沒有溫度。137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyJyM94aF5U
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡreiW73LxB1
「創作是一種技藝。也許妳有靈光一閃的幸運，但沒有能力把它落實，一切就是泡影。我得到一個雛形，然後把它擴充、把它豐富，讓它有血有肉，要讓讀者笑就笑、要他們哭就哭。讀者記得的是我，不是妳，這作品當然是我的。不然妳有相同的本事嗎？」137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm4j69FYc5X
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡljrD0P3MUi
「金妮，妳……」137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiGPXOJjCBR
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwAKXYzApgl
明明掠奪別人智慧財產的是金淑蓉，但孟瑤函被她的咄咄逼人打中自卑點，膝蓋後瞬間一軟、差點站不住腳。
