侯邦彥把幾張桌子併成一大桌，方便吃火鍋。116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf3U5Clgiat
116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfgSPfKlE9K
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？」116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk9ZJGoFt4N
116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ21CY1w70Wp
「來了，來啦。」116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoflqU4bzed
116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdkH3JgYMBg
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。116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2IJrpmqdHT
116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIlUlDGt4hP
好像還畫上細膩的妝容呢，令人眼睛一亮。116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqIyhVnalA1
116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHGL0XmqYlm
孟瑤函看她亮麗現身，不免自卑感浮現：116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6ddgPHy8fP
116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFzxOyKLSFg
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！116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjnKBpFJ0cv
116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8k8ez89eqr
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。116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡue4yYOFN2b
116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvoGPRdvok1
平平是女生，金淑蓉是小公主，而自己卻像下等丫鬟。116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡumWwTzjaKK
116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvhPJtY1ptI
這種天差地別，孟瑤函不覺自卑才奇怪呢。116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXeTrwpwndB
116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuvsel5LaCG
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。116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGH8D9c0ZwS
116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW9iEFRkJjW
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：116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWM7sZSPrFw
116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNmBQklkJ7g
「等一下開飯，妳坐瑤瑤旁邊的位子吧。」116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYwV9dnFIrz
116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyjVAgINOW7
「為什麼？」116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYs1PACEsuW
116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRIhLsktgY7
「別問了，就這麼做。」116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiu1TqC761r
116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvnkRYe1zbl
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。116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIkDEqbzl3z
116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ4Jm9MlMZY
「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！」116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpg9p75duuw
116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡontGrQV5PZ
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。116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmINfWNfks1
116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQbX3qjeMLO
她輕輕撥開金淑蓉，努力維持表面的和善。116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5SMaYsrKFh
116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5DguanKH7p
「好，準備齊全了，開飯吧。」116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaFWqdqb0SQ
116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2tSkd6Tjvp
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。116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwui56Oxvo4
116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHFYpjl4z4k
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。116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpev2c3tZ9g
116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXYO3KTPHmq
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。116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTg9RBV0wRR
116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlwVzzpex10
「好漂亮飽滿的炸牡蠣呀！做這道菜要真功夫！」金淑蓉奉承道。116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡECycL4T2SE
116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7AxnUvJRCS
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。116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡavZS9NUtzJ
116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF9wHcAWPXI
「咦？大叔你不吃嗎？」她察覺到異狀。116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiG47YfH0cB
116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEQmXq7VNC0
「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。」116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE8S5QxHYXl
116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ0vPPWQSho
他臉上沒有表情。116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ75Qs6uErbo
116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjTpnUZ33JO
「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。」116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8a25wbYaaz
116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJgMfxixTKg
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。116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsf2DQyE0ST
116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy1ZfFLQqp0
「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。」116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJFhe0AU1WI
116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfYWKFmg65G
孟瑤函想不通、又為他擔心；116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY3wP4BLxaR
金淑蓉則一臉可惜；116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqFZjRfh0hE
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！
116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFSmk2qOm8d
116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi20HCvrD8V
一頓飯，吃得孟瑤函如坐針氈。116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6VBhnt0Aza
116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2mSXn3tofd
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。116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTvBa4Fk2ay
116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbHdIInJLxb
「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？」116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHTrdilrKP3
116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWYrRR3VX0F
金淑蓉邊吃邊問，毫不掩飾對侯邦彥的好奇。116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQoHzsS789g
116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjBzbYromA8
「我不知道，但他好像有去英國留學。」116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzDQVth7oJ4
116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOVvG8kr6zv
「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！」116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8P2Vne7M2Y
116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV3qF17eeh6
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。116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCKNDYsg6Ut
116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd5bgPql1Zo
「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。」116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3qbUzQkND6
116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnJIuiGDZMV
「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。」116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBzeDljdb9c
116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlR5drCZEPS
金妮意猶未竟，伸長筷子又從鍋裡夾了一片魚肚。116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXow7MIPega
116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6yEEysHOmj
雙姝顧著笑，沒發現孟瑤函的臉色漸漸陰沉。116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfa9NaPEfkT
116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfR6yuJ4F7q
「老愛盯著別人、搶機會，創造一個屬於自己的機會，很難嗎？」116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuqSVIJfETw
116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjV4d7TmG1D
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。116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1BP0yGIbe9
116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr0lXk5vjAV
有些事，也不能一直放著不處理，直球對決說不定有奇蹟。116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpP0KCEql1x
116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcfrhVetXsi
「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。」116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ15YEQEoIEY
116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHs8BNGxNMk
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。116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKrgwrdZm2m
116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1MRBDUGz0j
但『氣度』的高下修養，終究還是有差別。116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7fcu2IEG3X
116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWrnMgZvxmK
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。116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5VpR1gYFYL
116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHpjCCZXXTg
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。116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2TkEZGR0ml
116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpBK3n9Batm
「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？」116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ82SKuCBZjT
116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkrGoXQS08I
「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。」116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC4Y29VSuNT
116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8MARgmhJv9
聽她理直氣壯的言論，孟瑤函的眼眶立刻激動泛紅。116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6f3URW4KxG
116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVlmrbSOU8Z
她很氣自己，明明抄襲的不是她，但她卻震怒、發抖。116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNSTVNAx65f
116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkTXLJtpcY3
看起來理虧的反而是她！116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdUXY3ILc4l
116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaTA1gP0lVh
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？116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyTWd0ohlvb
116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmT1vJmilnp
有些事，她自己都解釋不清，但她知道金淑蓉比誰都清楚。116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi8VF2fY3fo
116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuT3OGHHTsA
「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！」116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf9HVVwz0wm
116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH1GMIvT7kI
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。116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8eWtj0zxAA
116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx4QWQoSc6B
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。116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGjp3b25WKN
116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlWTWMr1Yhf
對她的聲淚指控投以微笑。116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr87d0RM0PX
116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAIuDvDZP1u
「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？」116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc58IBwudot
116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0Cl3texeao
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。116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW1iqJLkUI3
116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwHQYrddA52
這讓孟瑤函更憤怒，整個身體都跟著戰慄起來。116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqyGfcdXB8q
116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXraJfYOyg7
「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！」116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡncLSKuYYDf
116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuLLTlkxtEI
「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。116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1XYHe1HSwJ
116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwcb7V3cUfA
「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。116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3NlxU8fUzd
116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKNnOsI9nOI
「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？」116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx49cwDrC7o
116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCZW3H5d1Ra
孟瑤函瞬間愣住，說不出話。116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1vyGskTaUk
116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZR05kAYId2
金淑蓉的臉上雖然掛著微笑，但看人的眼神沒有溫度。116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQd9ZMV4ayj
116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEGc5puQNQ6
「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？」116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX5Ulw5IVjg
116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBh7yzTR2Vn
「金妮，妳……」116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLhRH7ixWne
116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrnqgei0Py0
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」
