侯邦彥把幾張桌子併成一大桌，方便吃火鍋。146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡavRuBASR7L
146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ6DFcyuaON
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？」146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8EXloaoIit
146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY88x1OXzZs
「來了，來啦。」146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnXsDVeaM4V
146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNRpWoG3A05
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。146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfVjd2YMpri
146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ74mgbMWrOF
好像還畫上細膩的妝容呢，令人眼睛一亮。146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ75k0XxyxmO
146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5bmlrwH9eN
孟瑤函看她亮麗現身，不免自卑感浮現：146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi67LImybt3
146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS1RNHXHTbO
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！146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZIr8cFc0s9
146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIWBa1xh1Z1
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。146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb9SPLUBFAd
146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvlhO9WhxEb
平平是女生，金淑蓉是小公主，而自己卻像下等丫鬟。146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡajUgnwWtg3
146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuquq58hmve
這種天差地別，孟瑤函不覺自卑才奇怪呢。146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiCTRNVP9mp
146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMSPGp4cGA8
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。146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvWOf2sFIE0
146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqv92i6Rkt5
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：146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDYKjV154Ob
146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8pxOLVxCGg
「等一下開飯，妳坐瑤瑤旁邊的位子吧。」146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8NlNri6Vsv
146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6KsZzsZg3p
「為什麼？」146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtZMNtlWddA
146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0thqvNKWHD
「別問了，就這麼做。」146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj7UXDeD7yF
146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnvnhQzzLkd
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。146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvrFZC4LvEl
146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8yv7aEOn3R
「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！」146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM9vJMNkg2h
146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYDTyu2EY6L
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。146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhzCQhVRlbE
146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLbYHq1iVQL
她輕輕撥開金淑蓉，努力維持表面的和善。146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5k11arP9ki
146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnxEIKbp859
「好，準備齊全了，開飯吧。」146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT0UlTR5asF
146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaW1Vo8djTh
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。146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqFQA53P2xB
146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd2MuU7DnbG
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。146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfDNlUeTc29
146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmZ5J2rdvda
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。146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgGAfyuHYn4
146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdAEjU6lshG
「好漂亮飽滿的炸牡蠣呀！做這道菜要真功夫！」金淑蓉奉承道。146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHXuhadGNZ9
146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaczrpHVBbH
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。146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKziHIOy33A
146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtYrIdtRGaq
「咦？大叔你不吃嗎？」她察覺到異狀。146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRSCNRfiNqr
146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ41hHgPH6Rs
「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。」146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjgqlag92jU
146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8LpxgX6Sk3
他臉上沒有表情。146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD4X1jtWVMF
146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8aQPRXPVNj
「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。」146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmUjJ7tsMZ8
146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGL4OoN6iMd
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。146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8mXerULbmP
146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyI48hNQLEu
「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。」146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGkZj1XSkU6
146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBIwiX67w8Q
孟瑤函想不通、又為他擔心；146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡljBpeSJ4WU
金淑蓉則一臉可惜；146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQhDT7rerKS
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！
146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ79cBPOIsNp
146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwNPwAObezj
一頓飯，吃得孟瑤函如坐針氈。146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbKzBAbb8G9
146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwITKCjEz2P
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。146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqwplMTxNJp
146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7OY1Vdc5Re
「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？」146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKuwZwTBPMJ
146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBgKVx3vcQG
金淑蓉邊吃邊問，毫不掩飾對侯邦彥的好奇。146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX30tTnBfeV
146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv9dBqfaN2I
「我不知道，但他好像有去英國留學。」146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuyVIE7rvfg
146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJoEIKhdS4O
「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！」146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoNcsEjUPGn
146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKCaRvnk7dX
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。146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW4NqBCIpcA
146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUn7Zc6bjmC
「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。」146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ30ey1lPc00
146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFHoVLCvQ5U
「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。」146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkeffSGsIuJ
146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbcHnu3Dr50
金妮意猶未竟，伸長筷子又從鍋裡夾了一片魚肚。146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCk5VvGaZKL
146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiF7gxnybCL
雙姝顧著笑，沒發現孟瑤函的臉色漸漸陰沉。146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbrRjeQX4GM
146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwywnpFkQ7v
「老愛盯著別人、搶機會，創造一個屬於自己的機會，很難嗎？」146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfZypmQySqN
146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfsmj0v4MKt
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。146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRztA7okuQQ
146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb8P8hW5hNs
有些事，也不能一直放著不處理，直球對決說不定有奇蹟。146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYisv9WHXFL
146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe1VSLAClWJ
「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。」146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr3dDRuKJJg
146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHci3otg6aI
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。146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkL8LY5ZfsR
146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoOY8XtI5lx
但『氣度』的高下修養，終究還是有差別。146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoCK2NddJaL
146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM1khw81uuA
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。146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwS0bkV392O
146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpiCjfedUea
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。146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmJcfATGnu7
146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡadJOj4XxuN
「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？」146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUz2LIdUGYb
146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnsgzyGI2cn
「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。」146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsuUgpGWQR9
146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVQEq2hLsjD
聽她理直氣壯的言論，孟瑤函的眼眶立刻激動泛紅。146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlQY61aW3qS
146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKRH2QxqgF6
她很氣自己，明明抄襲的不是她，但她卻震怒、發抖。146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡllaLOIz2Qk
146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHiIogR49cU
看起來理虧的反而是她！146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxib6jAseue
146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡumGI16BF8G
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？146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOF2BAEWbwo
146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeg2zqbgXcQ
有些事，她自己都解釋不清，但她知道金淑蓉比誰都清楚。146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYu03P350Jo
146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKPRJKxefyF
「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！」146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg4onNnNgHO
146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTYBMP67IMR
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。146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUMW6NYjaEl
146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsHzGoVc15r
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。146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXAcgPerZ6f
146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡICf3QCWetY
對她的聲淚指控投以微笑。146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz83oXV1oBT
146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6qKSyxcUb0
「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？」146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6MhOzfU2FI
146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZBpdhU2SDc
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。146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1VV3rORw4x
146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4OHzraetuu
這讓孟瑤函更憤怒，整個身體都跟著戰慄起來。146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBipCHRpj4Z
146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxfEXVkFGku
「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！」146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8yPFe4FlVl
146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ60KgF9JQ2T
「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。146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd1oQkizSLh
146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhy9WPGaZ76
「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。146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPAxu6u4Wmj
146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoaH1JfenDB
「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？」146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPzvJxP4LWC
146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUIaOLuEA52
孟瑤函瞬間愣住，說不出話。146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9oNOMu9d0F
146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNMOH8VlgRQ
金淑蓉的臉上雖然掛著微笑，但看人的眼神沒有溫度。146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqiBVd7E2b0
146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJac4apKOEz
「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？」146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5f6zIDf9aW
146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTRIZV2QOrd
「金妮，妳……」146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0K21tQzYZA
146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoCdWW5jIT8
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。
