侯邦彥把幾張桌子併成一大桌，方便吃火鍋。140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzAQHeZG3Sl
140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm9E4DbEIwa
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？」140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRvVt2vjCjU
140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDQlTLsBn69
「來了，來啦。」140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbibvRKTe60
140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbU3LvjQont
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。140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5w0eYiuREc
140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNMC6gm3GZT
好像還畫上細膩的妝容呢，令人眼睛一亮。140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo9gRF7aEUs
140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOd3OEd5yMm
孟瑤函看她亮麗現身，不免自卑感浮現：140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVAgVIYnIIN
140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYMk59wjs7M
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！140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXZEtSCHjj4
140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj5a9sSAHuv
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。140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6zXewXoBK0
140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMD4LF6F5mW
平平是女生，金淑蓉是小公主，而自己卻像下等丫鬟。140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4YZVeRMT1w
140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcAGktaJkOj
這種天差地別，孟瑤函不覺自卑才奇怪呢。140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHczntXenfL
140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlqo3tIplYh
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。140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU2Pb3c8N5y
140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡao5Qoy6QwA
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：140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt3WQPhyLNH
140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC2dHlz5vqo
「等一下開飯，妳坐瑤瑤旁邊的位子吧。」140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXITRzoBiEg
140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaRDkN6uybS
「為什麼？」140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjIN5gZotBg
140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoQYVlF2JDd
「別問了，就這麼做。」140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLKu65XYP5I
140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIJF1TWH65O
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。140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp0G2BTanfl
140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB3MpPmdgWg
「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！」140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbyFtGGBtzX
140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfYrg4sFmFn
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。140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe3bFRxSw8Q
140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzhGy6FZRaR
她輕輕撥開金淑蓉，努力維持表面的和善。140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaSI6J6chZY
140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjzGIbDUIM9
「好，準備齊全了，開飯吧。」140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX8lUeK7E0y
140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ84lAsS0SpA
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。140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡahLJmfhgud
140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz4TUjjB3Fy
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。140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgGLoZxWTxZ
140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvluZNc7CJx
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。140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ098eBpjdEK
140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU90m99QsfE
「好漂亮飽滿的炸牡蠣呀！做這道菜要真功夫！」金淑蓉奉承道。140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGRMlhwabMA
140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmOg7EmZWuW
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。140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgcQKqLDz8t
140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfTqyVFBDkw
「咦？大叔你不吃嗎？」她察覺到異狀。140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgNVgKT0Ix2
140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSSmNAPKqsB
「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。」140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBGXZ2Lm2dK
140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn84QtqfdUN
他臉上沒有表情。140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKgjCEDDwOE
140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvW148eLU3k
「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。」140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ74ebM4HZDU
140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ196hRb9WXi
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。140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVwf5Saq20m
140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRftYJGrxBK
「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。」140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcs4i3mM4ki
140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4RWvhl1oxL
孟瑤函想不通、又為他擔心；140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFf3KJsHZjg
金淑蓉則一臉可惜；140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFtjx4zNULI
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！
140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd5XPptkXhl
140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7wkcMH5NYH
一頓飯，吃得孟瑤函如坐針氈。140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTerBXNH0Ih
140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxqvBcsk5FE
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。140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm84ywBkRma
140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqKeoSVtGct
「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？」140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzrPLwAFwqL
140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBBOfbEXbMk
金淑蓉邊吃邊問，毫不掩飾對侯邦彥的好奇。140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuhi1jjfFoE
140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI5FGEPOKfl
「我不知道，但他好像有去英國留學。」140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnzyrYmMCyf
140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtoEkZDAHI8
「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！」140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWckHWefxT4
140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGopQVYu23I
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。140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd0PbmRwGe2
140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDw9BVDqEqs
「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。」140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8MFvVym85l
140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb7uC8On15I
「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。」140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUx1gGWFvBL
140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiGWxYN5cyd
金妮意猶未竟，伸長筷子又從鍋裡夾了一片魚肚。140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2i1zv7hhTw
140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM1uS4Fza0h
雙姝顧著笑，沒發現孟瑤函的臉色漸漸陰沉。140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjQafnOlpz5
140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfkJ268d6Fo
「老愛盯著別人、搶機會，創造一個屬於自己的機會，很難嗎？」140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH7Zfp7P0W5
140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxfAmOjEEMQ
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。140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlCQeGdwctY
140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhM4bSV6dYq
有些事，也不能一直放著不處理，直球對決說不定有奇蹟。140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdHUwi37uBp
140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKwmAJLfUae
「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。」140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt2QXKXlAr6
140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6kAUdc2P9w
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。140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfX7uFcDKJP
140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS23GoFsMBD
但『氣度』的高下修養，終究還是有差別。140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs2aIgtlP3b
140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUDYvUmPNsM
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。140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtgamCNXl5S
140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdlGqzpFnql
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。140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHBRmmj5yUt
140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKgAivlUTN6
「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？」140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1X4KiGySbR
140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQvm4OKcSTf
「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。」140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcHEK78Z6mS
140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzjp5mQQPOY
聽她理直氣壯的言論，孟瑤函的眼眶立刻激動泛紅。140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlizU329ioU
140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKgO17mrcdT
她很氣自己，明明抄襲的不是她，但她卻震怒、發抖。140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUypW154Wtv
140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS6G6aWbWFU
看起來理虧的反而是她！140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4fCLhYQy4y
140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡozJUVQ5Rfv
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？140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp3P7kLP43A
140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxSJ8vQx4r4
有些事，她自己都解釋不清，但她知道金淑蓉比誰都清楚。140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9PsPMJqnO7
140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiwI0TKUi3r
「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！」140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbCM450argi
140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlJ1zfQ9Qs9
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。140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdKb0noYp5j
140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl1JBijr0c7
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。140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHRNqCPbupD
140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDAgDptd8zE
對她的聲淚指控投以微笑。140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkGm3t7xwgV
140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo7XtTfTbdl
「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？」140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQSQs64asao
140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmJMQXkqexL
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。140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLYj5x6jn9D
140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA59cfD9Ko5
這讓孟瑤函更憤怒，整個身體都跟著戰慄起來。140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDL4SQfVch7
140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcZI066I1En
「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！」140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgAadppMyoD
140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡapkO26hA9A
「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。140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmemLS7cMeD
140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGhnJPPsV0h
「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。140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡirTovNhisZ
140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt16K3Hc3Rp
「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？」140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP5qc3PxaLg
140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQtAoLxcf7t
孟瑤函瞬間愣住，說不出話。140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJdqOnQxZ0u
140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡticwJl5a63
金淑蓉的臉上雖然掛著微笑，但看人的眼神沒有溫度。140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtqzISF4ARC
140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXrSHx76wvO
「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？」140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuZ1liIZ0G8
140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyjuxBc2euA
「金妮，妳……」140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqMIIHuIYYO
140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjhtpGGtgwG
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。
然後按「加至主畫面」
