侯邦彥把幾張桌子併成一大桌，方便吃火鍋。149Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9YeZ2AwG8k
149Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK5z9SfBRus
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？」149Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWitBXTrQ0Y
149Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4bUnVM7tQ5
「來了，來啦。」149Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJxn2Jrs254
149Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfKFBBa0KrE
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。149Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8SkcEHpe1D
149Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2ZIk86BZyg
好像還畫上細膩的妝容呢，令人眼睛一亮。149Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU1kIRHzJNx
149Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqcIiOAGaZJ
孟瑤函看她亮麗現身，不免自卑感浮現：149Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1af2UVNmxB
149Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYeOfyG996H
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！149Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhZTnd9kSif
149Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrBHfQLzxJO
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。149Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK7rX6RBrVP
149Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHqfmC1te7g
平平是女生，金淑蓉是小公主，而自己卻像下等丫鬟。149Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTDKzGu8OQh
149Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHtuwrbkWMY
這種天差地別，孟瑤函不覺自卑才奇怪呢。149Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd62FWAiuAj
149Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXSnm8zPWe1
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。149Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5SGP0XNwtX
149Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnEUPQn8pC8
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：149Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3LpwnpZTML
149Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5uuLVyyJTp
「等一下開飯，妳坐瑤瑤旁邊的位子吧。」149Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiLyMtkeBRJ
149Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDX47dFbCJj
「為什麼？」149Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqgH3Iomn0i
149Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLcwTJKe6qG
「別問了，就這麼做。」149Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs8AHkZKu1s
149Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnD2i9wWMkB
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。149Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB4dLNKSUwo
149Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx7k6Eifned
「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！」149Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7ScJvELPNV
149Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEAZrHCx8Zl
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。149Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm8U64W3HoZ
149Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3UA2wgbuNZ
她輕輕撥開金淑蓉，努力維持表面的和善。149Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiGFErDpmx5
149Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzD5iZPdSYb
「好，準備齊全了，開飯吧。」149Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvVGhA2nvzx
149Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡolsbOZ0XzB
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。149Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZzfKPUND0Q
149Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVh3D0Dg80w
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。149Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtNc6EEFOaO
149Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ40KzFwIHfw
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。149Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYwPNglvS52
149Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsSqBqt0GC6
「好漂亮飽滿的炸牡蠣呀！做這道菜要真功夫！」金淑蓉奉承道。149Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqgWCJRxhWW
149Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcTntz7Ph6i
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。149Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdsNL2Y8hRi
149Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk8RyDq3iqI
「咦？大叔你不吃嗎？」她察覺到異狀。149Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjjjfuXNiV8
149Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5OSqdMVVtO
「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。」149Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡepTwXRwoiJ
149Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoO54P4tG22
他臉上沒有表情。149Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiKrQ89pRO8
149Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoM07GR2Hed
「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。」149Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7ned0hTlZW
149Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxXdtWV3RQa
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。149Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcJNzTZmJA5
149Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkufZhFI2JS
「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。」149Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzKvRpSM5lG
149Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBvUHz9Bifx
孟瑤函想不通、又為他擔心；149Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ58saFAgQhl
金淑蓉則一臉可惜；149Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm2iDui8Hgs
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！
149Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2w3VI9edoh
149Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ94NVZiu0zg
一頓飯，吃得孟瑤函如坐針氈。149Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlv7k1iUoVC
149Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaibZNvA76P
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。149Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1FQt45cV5W
149Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvPJ472GHEl
「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？」149Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjL4msY2hv8
149Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr8hnLIW0i2
金淑蓉邊吃邊問，毫不掩飾對侯邦彥的好奇。149Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ08JBXzR5kL
149Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAPLVfwdOlM
「我不知道，但他好像有去英國留學。」149Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKj6oIpJyNr
149Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrLGnP3jeUk
「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！」149Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk0beLOTIQR
149Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg2eWGMcvxv
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。149Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ1NNaReW3Q
149Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmIV5yCwd47
「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。」149Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqnHrRUTaUi
149Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJvPAgfAfJl
「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。」149Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ23gA5YicF
149Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQxcUgvnF8R
金妮意猶未竟，伸長筷子又從鍋裡夾了一片魚肚。149Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJB6DZPn5JL
149Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhUX2u1MpRW
雙姝顧著笑，沒發現孟瑤函的臉色漸漸陰沉。149Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJY3eMixNKr
149Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡABJGMeAnT9
「老愛盯著別人、搶機會，創造一個屬於自己的機會，很難嗎？」149Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIbCsQnXtoF
149Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡel86bK5lT9
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。149Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3URiX5wvOI
149Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡozSymsFM21
有些事，也不能一直放著不處理，直球對決說不定有奇蹟。149Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfr8uasRXGb
149Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4dAbKEa6RD
「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。」149Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5BT1q8ETZJ
149Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDkFt3p2ePF
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。149Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl004ByIeH6
149Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3Km525mQz0
但『氣度』的高下修養，終究還是有差別。149Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT7Gbm2CyCv
149Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhVHdB1ltBT
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。149Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjwRB1R8lKF
149Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1dBF2rLNgs
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。149Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡknEtBSgb2z
149Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMf6rXGsAYl
「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？」149Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvtTTPq0lyN
149Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEsiWHojHQt
「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。」149Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt1itp5DgrQ
149Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVyPqqd7nNk
聽她理直氣壯的言論，孟瑤函的眼眶立刻激動泛紅。149Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn9bNAuikua
149Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj0SSB5qmwy
她很氣自己，明明抄襲的不是她，但她卻震怒、發抖。149Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk4exRGm5Je
149Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY4bGwI8d4N
看起來理虧的反而是她！149Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUJgexQlzwP
149Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFpZWcM31Il
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？149Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0Lrf1pJBst
149Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRGFpwIpN9S
有些事，她自己都解釋不清，但她知道金淑蓉比誰都清楚。149Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN643SIHp2B
149Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIRRybq1ViB
「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！」149Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF8HRgOO0kF
149Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoXR6Ij3Wh4
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。149Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBqpuL6FUKI
149Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhb4faSye9j
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。149Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4i8yly8FUw
149Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYXaaiT9nsH
對她的聲淚指控投以微笑。149Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6okrW206pL
149Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl48sewaC9j
「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？」149Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ84zgOjaLCZ
149Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKVBOFgUdgr
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。149Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkFS9YVgtMP
149Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE6PlOUX4fp
這讓孟瑤函更憤怒，整個身體都跟著戰慄起來。149Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0nXExuvSLd
149Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDn47mdfySx
「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！」149Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRW4cYbdSkf
149Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgkuzPSmSlb
「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。149Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5drCShLBNc
149Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaVbw9I2TNJ
「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。149Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVdzLR3JAdU
149Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVJTz2MWyvy
「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？」149Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXExTIWzG7e
149Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWVxOYEcAdy
孟瑤函瞬間愣住，說不出話。149Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxfdNgPokzu
149Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfRIqZbMG1U
金淑蓉的臉上雖然掛著微笑，但看人的眼神沒有溫度。149Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsfTlFgCohD
149Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHuxJQjjsCy
「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？」149Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡodOKMN7Z7A
149Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfvTwuKoyuh
「金妮，妳……」149Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRoQuuaV2G5
149Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTfmIp847h1
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。
