侯邦彥把幾張桌子併成一大桌，方便吃火鍋。113Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeVg5jJA9VK
113Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUb7Oc0uqnL
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？」113Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCRJKsAcFPa
113Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMXm9ESni4d
「來了，來啦。」113Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbcKlkD3Rs5
113Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHn1tbKDts7
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。113Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhg1qXTXgsz
113Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx0d8ePjGyP
好像還畫上細膩的妝容呢，令人眼睛一亮。113Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG6aZjKGfPA
113Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUtNS2hjI7M
孟瑤函看她亮麗現身，不免自卑感浮現：113Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8ZGYgCViRy
113Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1FuPV0rBLt
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！113Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV2y3nQp6mK
113Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2wTgT7kcRO
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。113Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWGuquewffv
113Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb7WE4Z818A
平平是女生，金淑蓉是小公主，而自己卻像下等丫鬟。113Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAsEddCdJTD
113Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7NV68reIHz
這種天差地別，孟瑤函不覺自卑才奇怪呢。113Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfX1oaZPwMo
113Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbPp9LNSjsp
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。113Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrQJ5OXnw42
113Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb8xK2c28QZ
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：113Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPC8LkiO1xv
113Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2oBUWKnij6
「等一下開飯，妳坐瑤瑤旁邊的位子吧。」113Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl4kRnsh4yo
113Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡATC5h67Q9R
「為什麼？」113Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkX9MrLzXPI
113Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgKtHnufq9x
「別問了，就這麼做。」113Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRV4i4v6mbv
113Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuam9FDi9UY
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。113Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHNRvtaJ40S
113Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuv577RACOr
「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！」113Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKRvC7bNTBt
113Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0HXKpe6LeO
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。113Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsoN9SjmZLi
113Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUbKGENRbBH
她輕輕撥開金淑蓉，努力維持表面的和善。113Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhojly5CQBr
113Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2nV3Yhz3DZ
「好，準備齊全了，開飯吧。」113Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbXKUclrBt0
113Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx462Ahq9jg
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。113Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡASaeiVBZ19
113Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4QwIlXlFRj
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。113Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVBcz5skMSi
113Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡayrQc0b2YV
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。113Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvYUUrWwK36
113Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDP5URrNwFu
「好漂亮飽滿的炸牡蠣呀！做這道菜要真功夫！」金淑蓉奉承道。113Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiO00X9meT4
113Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK1Nr1QQTRX
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。113Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvKFdceT6Ge
113Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW68yM9A9H8
「咦？大叔你不吃嗎？」她察覺到異狀。113Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxkURi7JR2S
113Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9ss5NcGTer
「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。」113Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI6OA0l6vTi
113Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3gSoX9dFq3
他臉上沒有表情。113Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmJvhzzklm3
113Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaB7WgsqEIv
「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。」113Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjwwRmcLZnD
113Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfGWvBHwtKx
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。113Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUIzb0wjyj4
113Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ34YLqZZqiN
「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。」113Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuhcighdlVA
113Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwaL4r6Sqa8
孟瑤函想不通、又為他擔心；113Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaj0hUg359q
金淑蓉則一臉可惜；113Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8WlXPH6lZq
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！
113Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9go7Mmi9LI
113Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaSFVnnxERh
一頓飯，吃得孟瑤函如坐針氈。113Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrWoS3IUQl1
113Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ49K9GxioB9
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。113Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2WZXx9RCja
113Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKeur2NRy28
「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？」113Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtxMaB6EavH
113Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC7fiiVwVAb
金淑蓉邊吃邊問，毫不掩飾對侯邦彥的好奇。113Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9YZ3yupaxI
113Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm1WIslJT25
「我不知道，但他好像有去英國留學。」113Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3hpqW9Oyit
113Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2dPwjyMWX2
「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！」113Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt5O7EM22no
113Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHFy9ejdyqh
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。113Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfH97ifI9Cz
113Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFSpKHSnXuh
「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。」113Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvDkGEA2SCf
113Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFJjHg2g7AP
「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。」113Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhF0sbKMzlE
113Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz0YKAW1Ad2
金妮意猶未竟，伸長筷子又從鍋裡夾了一片魚肚。113Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ00qCmbb1sz
113Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmjWp7xIpdW
雙姝顧著笑，沒發現孟瑤函的臉色漸漸陰沉。113Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSIXic2OBrs
113Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpizB9i3Qog
「老愛盯著別人、搶機會，創造一個屬於自己的機會，很難嗎？」113Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIhqsGzOm48
113Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbMUUnjI9dO
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。113Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwKVwXwmIWc
113Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX5Xz9eJYGA
有些事，也不能一直放著不處理，直球對決說不定有奇蹟。113Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBSu3SDViVd
113Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTr6ko4s7yE
「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。」113Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQRPVBhIZVb
113Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYvHErfITcx
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。113Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpyAgNlEUB6
113Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZAbTDVogye
但『氣度』的高下修養，終究還是有差別。113Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB9OKKFn5t9
113Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRpElOwKzo6
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。113Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyLmuW8yPlM
113Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9mwkfS1tkK
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。113Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYtAaFUcxHJ
113Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP68kNBlZwA
「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？」113Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ99sBj8zsEI
113Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTWd7NpNf3R
「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。」113Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOnBY88TFSm
113Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJXthYctg2A
聽她理直氣壯的言論，孟瑤函的眼眶立刻激動泛紅。113Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZwVQTAceFS
113Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6w6EmFN0bq
她很氣自己，明明抄襲的不是她，但她卻震怒、發抖。113Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsXlMnBT88j
113Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAFpPzaumG7
看起來理虧的反而是她！113Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqzwN8jJDTa
113Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZQReLA6R6U
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？113Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqzsYunknwU
113Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlpAkDTf8CS
有些事，她自己都解釋不清，但她知道金淑蓉比誰都清楚。113Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡguH1GgPaXY
113Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCiIaJuwCwL
「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！」113Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1o2wCSgml8
113Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNclO7OYJ7L
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。113Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpw7m0Ez6zh
113Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmXwUK1MLLP
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。113Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqv7HujJmMu
113Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCAxiIDE888
對她的聲淚指控投以微笑。113Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ54V4Q0SaHf
113Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP0Xw22xopr
「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？」113Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj3hzWSw0OX
113Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEN6s843q0N
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。113Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkriRklrTFL
113Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpUof84L4ow
這讓孟瑤函更憤怒，整個身體都跟著戰慄起來。113Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP34wbQ9OnK
113Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoSLui9EIrx
「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！」113Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVrIrQxmTo4
113Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmOw5QPe7Tq
「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。113Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbKguLKgy6p
113Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYEeLqpCX58
「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。113Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeDt01nPhEI
113Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkYrSqoXe7S
「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？」113Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWN477kmFgx
113Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRDPQbgzWFg
孟瑤函瞬間愣住，說不出話。113Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcpa1zCpz7B
113Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuNKR39QlwQ
金淑蓉的臉上雖然掛著微笑，但看人的眼神沒有溫度。113Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKm1JYt2sey
113Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡga97LkiX5J
「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？」113Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTuSf0i2L9E
113Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ7M8bQzcNM
「金妮，妳……」113Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt0zGJmqHBt
113Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKh3aNB0kQd
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。
