侯邦彥把幾張桌子併成一大桌，方便吃火鍋。146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9E5tB9SSOe
146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx2sgWyrTU3
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDxP0i3iWai
146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1i0WVUI81n
「來了，來啦。」146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg3VKTeSC2q
146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuSBevawnyI
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlYO12CPVV4
146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0TxfBy3NsJ
好像還畫上細膩的妝容呢，令人眼睛一亮。146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlwbGpYQ9BR
146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsdsNtphjwF
孟瑤函看她亮麗現身，不免自卑感浮現：146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqchol5lW0E
146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQIqK2h76kK
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsBGkkS8MMg
146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5xviRC01P1
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxkFbU81dn1
146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZSHTZvmIs0
平平是女生，金淑蓉是小公主，而自己卻像下等丫鬟。146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcbymAhq372
146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6PX6dyb9Tm
這種天差地別，孟瑤函不覺自卑才奇怪呢。146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIlonlKzlG0
146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLKkIztiPq1
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwjKkMEPjpV
146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsxKC5KgSAC
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOV7S3q9xMW
146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm79fN8qaNx
「等一下開飯，妳坐瑤瑤旁邊的位子吧。」146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6Zw7MBttMy
146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUlKdBqllg0
「為什麼？」146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKtSXDNdAGf
146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYTZ5ejxcrR
「別問了，就這麼做。」146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgXrhFn6Ves
146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4Tw4GVauIN
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnpSZ3M4bNx
146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOmQ2XQgOzQ
「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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ3oVBf3RXS
146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm0iViH7LHb
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt8PWaNowan
146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT7XCbGJyWV
她輕輕撥開金淑蓉，努力維持表面的和善。146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeTLkNGCi7w
146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU8JebYOIyF
「好，準備齊全了，開飯吧。」146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8ryTvsABWn
146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuiSTt8tcJh
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ95uffVUx3f
146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5y2QqbfBGY
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqEWBYw0hdl
146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUVKybuxq28
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfHaPUuc2es
146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3SQ0Mx1kaA
「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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYOA5J5Myfl
146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb5FBQfHKdw
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSYPOKY4Ayk
146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKH2s8LHCeI
「咦？大叔你不吃嗎？」她察覺到異狀。146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5Ho7sMnraR
146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1EfqMyoNoc
「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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7yssfu8MLX
146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbM1ebid1gD
他臉上沒有表情。146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt9HA3IXiF5
146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkn9hY5KsB4
「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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYoIOkeaxQ7
146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHUaH7GtMTB
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8ZJBdAsWQc
146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd99RQeA0Kc
「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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2baBGXXiDf
146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY0RyQDfSV2
孟瑤函想不通、又為他擔心；146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWMjA0kyIxd
金淑蓉則一臉可惜；146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHPaCM25U73
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡntwVB82v0d
146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡijmA0Hw8GT
一頓飯，吃得孟瑤函如坐針氈。146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIegC4bbrxO
146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8vM1hOpS8r
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5ZmHSN5xmf
146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWYdCj53aTI
「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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3EzZy9dqiO
146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcNvoMybjrB
金淑蓉邊吃邊問，毫不掩飾對侯邦彥的好奇。146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKYLwLJveCd
146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvZBpTPz4eT
「我不知道，但他好像有去英國留學。」146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDYglC6C0Nf
146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsQQUSI5nsD
「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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIyCRAn0cCK
146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWxSEhsWrZH
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡETljgj3JUZ
146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxz5NDse9pL
「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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuFmCnFn3C6
146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ0jmXYTKSe
「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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW8wo1iOVnp
146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcnqgPDttoR
金妮意猶未竟，伸長筷子又從鍋裡夾了一片魚肚。146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4dnUrAwqs2
146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtw5VMbV2dG
雙姝顧著笑，沒發現孟瑤函的臉色漸漸陰沉。146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpN6IlE7hCD
146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ153aa6f7QJ
「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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSP5xhOBtKv
146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmT7KIlAwum
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjFrP6tbvil
146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOCBbXEJ4dT
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0td89RoC4y
146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWoMtcawgKJ
「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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWvtVslWcTp
146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRCSF2LBrKr
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ96mbZ2aPW
146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGg8vboMLZ1
但『氣度』的高下修養，終究還是有差別。146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTgwAvlBFO7
146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ16VKqBpfg4
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdzq2fdxlJB
146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4uEyL7LdCF
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ85QZ7qJaEL
146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8ZxeXrBq41
「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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZfnE9ZNe1w
146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMKVo5XiA3v
「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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYJXlcCp4bt
146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHfLyZdZrsB
聽她理直氣壯的言論，孟瑤函的眼眶立刻激動泛紅。146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNpfcPttUFi
146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6pMIeT0XOR
她很氣自己，明明抄襲的不是她，但她卻震怒、發抖。146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo8q5ukQn1S
146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCFtat3FFsw
看起來理虧的反而是她！146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9FPDoZfS26
146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3elXko81LJ
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfPwWpC0KhI
146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiGpLjfS9gI
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0N21Z5Uyy3
146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC4sILww1bk
「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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA2e7bV3uYj
146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpUvB2a1kR8
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9LDL1xMPKv
146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjITpTz7eJ1
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzhjWn70PBd
146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgSteBnoy0k
對她的聲淚指控投以微笑。146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhBkRusR6jO
146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfkiW1IJPb6
「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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHoTQ8RNNLQ
146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEi8io8Tx9e
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgxxfzCpFo3
146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5dpKW6ss2r
這讓孟瑤函更憤怒，整個身體都跟著戰慄起來。146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3YAMuozKf3
146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAGXqztx077
「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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4vSRWZFzDd
146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkZ0hE2oQTm
「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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVuZKSucQnV
146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYUDNtuZmWC
「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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOJrqVqMI3U
146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡewsBDuVT9B
「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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAUEWNgBnw5
146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2vq2o76GeO
孟瑤函瞬間愣住，說不出話。146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEox9uNNFT4
146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlhTvgMKvql
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU4yKfBXp36
146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT0LBLREU03
「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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3vNryyG9kX
146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBSwXedOMkz
「金妮，妳……」146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnM2Z3Hmdh3
146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWvvZ47GRbA
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。
