然後,她就十萬火急發了那條訊息。59Please respect copyright.PENANACFuAWk6lSj
59Please respect copyright.PENANAXZtrEMeu61
向菱看著手機螢幕上那個孤單的對話框框,已經等了快兩分鐘。59Please respect copyright.PENANAWrvvZIWWX0
59Please respect copyright.PENANA0dn8xbTs32
一個新訊息倏地彈了出來。59Please respect copyright.PENANAg6xWKAsvfV
59Please respect copyright.PENANA16bxnyXUGb
祁:「?」59Please respect copyright.PENANA2XOb2Y3zqE
59Please respect copyright.PENANAjUeK4Gcun8
……只有一個問號。59Please respect copyright.PENANADMfT2yvGe9
59Please respect copyright.PENANA06GxPH5BPs
向菱從稍遠處拍了一張秦井和鄭娟並排的背影,發過去。59Please respect copyright.PENANADqUyrud9ia
59Please respect copyright.PENANACZ8zhlaC3t
她透過鍵盤敲字:「這個男的快變成我繼父了。」59Please respect copyright.PENANA7COO8gvMlF
59Please respect copyright.PENANA4qPTLeXBIL
——祁澈和她父親向里的關係,據她所知很深。59Please respect copyright.PENANAr1L6LLaRMp
59Please respect copyright.PENANAxewPsFnlVU
現在秦井的事,和向老醫算是有些關聯,那跟祁澈也多少有關。59Please respect copyright.PENANAKu4Mp4eCHu
59Please respect copyright.PENANAz5uqrvWToJ
和向老醫有關的事,他不可能置之不理吧。59Please respect copyright.PENANARjyKIrSN2R
59Please respect copyright.PENANAAP36Lj10fy
她回想起年代久遠的往事。59Please respect copyright.PENANAeWAkk7omlg
59Please respect copyright.PENANAUcyE0U8VSE
向老醫和許多病童的關係都極為深刻。甚至連他生前那間中醫診所,都常常讓生病的孩子寄住,以方便照顧。59Please respect copyright.PENANAmAkonACFD7
59Please respect copyright.PENANAemdbhIHohE
印象中的向里熱愛自己的職業,是天生的中醫師。59Please respect copyright.PENANAOUxVTw5581
59Please respect copyright.PENANAK9TRSpwDYx
她想起來了,很多年前,遠洋視訊的日常談話裡,向里和她多次提過一個高燒的孩子。59Please respect copyright.PENANAXhZBdnKk8T
59Please respect copyright.PENANAtokeRnOcrN
多年過去,向菱的記憶依然很深刻。
59Please respect copyright.PENANAvCzSijbGwU
父親話中的那個孩子應該就是祁澈。
59Please respect copyright.PENANAD7wg25HAT3
他說他從街角撿回來一個脾氣特別倔的孩子,特愛逞強還有攻擊性,明明病得厲害卻死活不肯讓醫生碰一下。59Please respect copyright.PENANAWe4kfPpr0p
59Please respect copyright.PENANASgsjKPokqm
據向里說那個孩子聰明到學會作弊,把體溫計泡進溫水裡來偽裝自己沒發燒。59Please respect copyright.PENANAxKQ1T6ZVF7
59Please respect copyright.PENANAlc8ZDmvEgb
……簡直瞞天過海。59Please respect copyright.PENANAqDO7I6v9GT
59Please respect copyright.PENANAGMaeX8k2Oz
?59Please respect copyright.PENANAB9DMPaK3FE
59Please respect copyright.PENANA0PtcfdANT1
當時父親說得很生動,她想得出神,忍不住彎了彎唇角。59Please respect copyright.PENANAqzFZ0TLFqR
59Please respect copyright.PENANAdIJD4Q7Bw6
手機螢幕亮了一下,向菱點開查看。59Please respect copyright.PENANAXd6xFiBGzY
59Please respect copyright.PENANAVEw1yeD92i
祁:「你怎麼辦?」59Please respect copyright.PENANAktKjXH453c
59Please respect copyright.PENANAovNqKGdnTu
……59Please respect copyright.PENANA4hWMJmK1EZ
59Please respect copyright.PENANA43QIk4feNA
我說我想揍他你能辦到嗎。59Please respect copyright.PENANAIL0VnDWT3P
59Please respect copyright.PENANAfBeCG7PZ4G
向菱:「能怎麼辦,就挺緊急的。」59Please respect copyright.PENANApmO4qLsriM
59Please respect copyright.PENANAa5dmnr3K2r
她一開始那則訊息問,他會打架對吧,目的不在於要拜託他什麼,就是告知他,秦井即將成為她的繼父。59Please respect copyright.PENANA0vLU5O6Yh8
59Please respect copyright.PENANAevAWuLqAWL
向菱有個想法。59Please respect copyright.PENANAcdbZT4sLqZ
59Please respect copyright.PENANAorNKTM2VAT
如果之後鄭娟再婚,她想給父親向里一個交代。59Please respect copyright.PENANA2CQlUgwQOu
59Please respect copyright.PENANAvtiQOpzeNC
她問過這裡的村人很多遍,聽說幾年前南雨鎮一場海嘯,房舍損壞,居民失蹤,部分當地人匆匆搬離。59Please respect copyright.PENANAGPugMs3qkL
59Please respect copyright.PENANA3ubj7yNtMz
離開的那些居民,其中也有受過向老醫幫助的,但她無從追尋那些人的去向。59Please respect copyright.PENANAHvk9lMaJuG
59Please respect copyright.PENANAxRptIHc7tI
祁澈已經是目前她所能找到的,唯一和向里相識的人。59Please respect copyright.PENANA57kBlrTXMa
59Please respect copyright.PENANAb4XPDu2hQC
和向老醫有關的事,她認為祁澈有權知道。59Please respect copyright.PENANA3IbeKmjS5Q
59Please respect copyright.PENANAynNsxSJFvT
向菱用食指戳出一排字:「他之後會和我媽結婚,如果得罪他的話我怕以後活不成了。」59Please respect copyright.PENANAFDXfYJ9sTk
59Please respect copyright.PENANAFxuqY3wfBd
停了沒幾秒,訊息框跳了個「哦」字。59Please respect copyright.PENANAxVdhJ0mKfq
59Please respect copyright.PENANAdwjI3IviVJ
連顆標點符號都沒有,絕情得很。59Please respect copyright.PENANA8aW1eC28Kk
59Please respect copyright.PENANA1Efj2gb8d6
……她覺得自己剛才想多了。59Please respect copyright.PENANAjJIQgb3WMS
59Please respect copyright.PENANAlsWuLOPvfZ
這個人的鍵盤是一次只能發一個字嗎?59Please respect copyright.PENANAwVJxf5roRi
59Please respect copyright.PENANAYH9IqIWUNe
這時排隊的人龍正好往前輪到她,鄭娟和秦井也離開原本的陰涼處,跟上前。59Please respect copyright.PENANAp2bu0w0SiW
59Please respect copyright.PENANAwNYTb4ADOY
她發過去一則訊息,「啊算了不跟你說了,他們過來了。」59Please respect copyright.PENANAw7Eh0TUUbl
59Please respect copyright.PENANArzrCs7dFOs
少女按滅手機,暗嘆了口氣,開始問鄭娟想吃什麼。59Please respect copyright.PENANAQvqBM2NBRe
_59Please respect copyright.PENANAjFZO7pKmam
59Please respect copyright.PENANAurNV6u1dwK
不知道是不是錯覺,和長輩吃飯是一件特別消耗耐心的事情。59Please respect copyright.PENANARU09hx9gTC
59Please respect copyright.PENANAeu5IAWNr9N
她家的兩長輩不會七嘴八舌地問她成績婚姻職場,但就是,有種無形的壓力。59Please respect copyright.PENANA24DoUUCsDA
59Please respect copyright.PENANAc9QDl8T3km
而此時,向菱面前就坐著二麻煩長輩。59Please respect copyright.PENANAZ6XT7oVj5B
59Please respect copyright.PENANAAAZFkHRnaK
秦井完全換了個面貌——溫文儒雅,紳士而體貼,幫忙拉椅子遞紙巾,偽裝得無微不至。59Please respect copyright.PENANAlHGWYSEUK4
59Please respect copyright.PENANAt6JKcbkRh6
只是一有和向菱單獨相處的時間,就對她露出極扭曲噁心的表情。59Please respect copyright.PENANAXM7u7BXLrj
59Please respect copyright.PENANA02jfCAdprv
三人找了室內靠牆的位置入座。59Please respect copyright.PENANAWDDMoZ04mI
59Please respect copyright.PENANAvQ3UDTf6Wl
氣氛是幾乎凝滯的安靜,而鄭娟屬於一行人裡話最多的一個。59Please respect copyright.PENANACJGsZiYbYt
59Please respect copyright.PENANA0kszxus3gD
她看著老媽不停地說著秦井的優點,包括性格好、文采好還很能掙錢等等。59Please respect copyright.PENANAjJqMRIPeod
59Please respect copyright.PENANAAmv0Br9GBy
什麼「人好、有學問」,什麼「顧家又掙錢」之類。59Please respect copyright.PENANAzcKYOIwFIN
59Please respect copyright.PENANA9AoGp4NkBA
向菱絲毫不在意秦井本人也在現場,無情拆穿:「……可他在我們作者圈的風評不太行。」59Please respect copyright.PENANANMUIjd53kG
59Please respect copyright.PENANAiweOuHjXax
肉眼可見,秦井的臉黑了一下。59Please respect copyright.PENANA7DjU2aqYXZ
59Please respect copyright.PENANAB27E5xXJH0
中年女人錯愕的抽抽嘴角,「這丫頭不懂事,別聽小孩子亂說話!」59Please respect copyright.PENANArGiCy7xO65
59Please respect copyright.PENANAGJBSMglwok
秦井使勁瞪了向菱一眼。59Please respect copyright.PENANAOKjj8b1GE8
59Please respect copyright.PENANAlU5W0EJQRp
少女若無其事地從小菜的盤子裡挾了口菜,放到自己碗裡。59Please respect copyright.PENANAO7TzrQKPAE
59Please respect copyright.PENANAcCDfiPv72b
這頓飯後半段向菱幾乎沒說話,甚至懶得使什麼花招。59Please respect copyright.PENANAhGrrKsPAQe
59Please respect copyright.PENANAf2a0aUWADc
長輩們的叨唸已經讓飯桌上足夠熱鬧,她低頭扒飯,繼續表演不發一語。59Please respect copyright.PENANANY6dzgBCtF
59Please respect copyright.PENANAaC8379tHdd
背後的人群嘈雜,路邊攤的流行樂音量放得很大。59Please respect copyright.PENANAMc70ro17k3
59Please respect copyright.PENANAeCMnnABeB4
鄭娟去上廁所時,向菱仍然在慢悠悠的一邊扒著碗裡的菜,一邊恍神。59Please respect copyright.PENANAomuz4IlfOM
59Please respect copyright.PENANA7BBNF5DULo
秦井的坐姿很大爺,忽然喊了她:「丫頭,搬到這種地方生活很累吧?」59Please respect copyright.PENANAvo6WuJqIpu
59Please respect copyright.PENANACSMybNW6TE
「……」她不想回應這種帶著挖苦的關心。59Please respect copyright.PENANASNr1kUH90z
59Please respect copyright.PENANAzH8Hf00ou4
秦井的語氣有些令人生厭,「南雨鎮明明又小又髒,怎麼有人會想離開北渝市搬來這裡?」59Please respect copyright.PENANAcELYBQf6BB
59Please respect copyright.PENANAzto1TgiXJW
「如果你還要繼續貶低南雨鎮的話,我不會回話。」59Please respect copyright.PENANAs2W1NCc7MB
59Please respect copyright.PENANA7bQPVcLRyT
「……」對方愕然。59Please respect copyright.PENANASQrNa5vorp
59Please respect copyright.PENANA4vxw9j1NqL
少女眨了眨眼。59Please respect copyright.PENANAc2mgL9bMdi
59Please respect copyright.PENANATgWBUhPhNe
秦井忽然不客氣道:「咱倆等會出去聊一下?」59Please respect copyright.PENANAqdA0nSb9YG
59Please respect copyright.PENANApvXgXtE5M4
向菱抬眼,對他不理不睬,繼續慢慢嚼著嘴裡的食物。59Please respect copyright.PENANA47kuWIjeq7
59Please respect copyright.PENANA4eT8do0jeK
算是無聲地拒絕了。59Please respect copyright.PENANAIreWBkFewm
59Please respect copyright.PENANAzEbC0Ry8o6
她很清楚,秦井不是真心想拉近關係,而是另有所圖。59Please respect copyright.PENANAykj8OuHEj6
59Please respect copyright.PENANAR8BYUEy3EI
她對秦井的態度,只是希望他早些離開鄭娟,不要干擾她生活。59Please respect copyright.PENANAHvefe1ndPL
59Please respect copyright.PENANASlIJn7ivlk
對於他此時這個命令,她不可能答應,也並不想去。59Please respect copyright.PENANAtnJw2ioj0Q
59Please respect copyright.PENANAOTL20JINf9
秦井:「要不然我們就在你媽媽面前聊公事,你不會介意吧?」59Please respect copyright.PENANAhdSf1Wbk0H
59Please respect copyright.PENANAi1v1uD6Eip
說這話時並無禮貌的語氣,油腔滑調又讓人感覺討厭。59Please respect copyright.PENANAcdszMQ3dWX
59Please respect copyright.PENANAXtughZxjdU
而且他要聊的,應該不只有公事。59Please respect copyright.PENANAYrWCj8LzCE
59Please respect copyright.PENANAGmDdpIKaoP
向菱蹙眉,停了一下才開口:「你之前所做的事一但被人舉報翻出來,你就完了。」59Please respect copyright.PENANARA2w8RCars
59Please respect copyright.PENANAjaDvc4JKrG
她放下碗抬眸,「你不知道嗎?」59Please respect copyright.PENANAwfHpv342iU
59Please respect copyright.PENANASFQWvryMln
照理說,秦井的小說事業很危險。59Please respect copyright.PENANAT7nvWZFZjw
59Please respect copyright.PENANATE5DcIgKoT
可是他本人一點也沒顯露出慌張的樣子。59Please respect copyright.PENANAWLNc9pqg4E
59Please respect copyright.PENANADq7U7BkM3f
中年男人的神情瞬間嚴肅起來,「今天會找你媽媽,是我要拜託你一件事。」59Please respect copyright.PENANAbyjEvRpOGB
59Please respect copyright.PENANAXw9DwF0ttp
看這架式,顯然是有求於人。59Please respect copyright.PENANAxrd4qwoqif
59Please respect copyright.PENANAFrWa358Rpp
難得一見的,秦井對她低聲下氣的說話。59Please respect copyright.PENANAQbDoB6jtv0
59Please respect copyright.PENANA7tM5cVVJWA
向菱隱隱覺得事有蹊蹺。59Please respect copyright.PENANA8dTEYpJOg5
59Please respect copyright.PENANA88p8kuMqOX
但是鄭娟從廁所回來了,於是秦井明快地說了一句:「那我們等下出去說?」59Please respect copyright.PENANAaPh9rzPcYr
59Please respect copyright.PENANAz3Nc44OOwu
她來不及拒絕,甚至還來不及表示什麼。59Please respect copyright.PENANA79dDNTSlL1
59Please respect copyright.PENANAfvLSPvlT0C
仍遲疑著,但是對方顯然已經當作她默認。59Please respect copyright.PENANAtVovcZ3t6f
_59Please respect copyright.PENANAsTZktPlrOY
59Please respect copyright.PENANARX13qf27nh
本來她以為兩個長輩會讓她買單,但秦井忽然搶著付錢。59Please respect copyright.PENANAk88seQLHUx
59Please respect copyright.PENANAVl0FdMSkVR
沒人反對讓他付,所以他臉一陣青一陣白的掏著口袋。59Please respect copyright.PENANArnOFs4LF4R
59Please respect copyright.PENANAxCULYYtCUT
向菱徹底無語。59Please respect copyright.PENANAlzvmPFx8jL
59Please respect copyright.PENANAtZ18sMKq4m
看起來秦井有意接近她的生活,確實是帶著目的性的。59Please respect copyright.PENANAuKLKAup59f
59Please respect copyright.PENANAb8vSCxEjFl
後來她送鄭娟和秦井回到借住的旅館。門前,秦井假好意對鄭娟道:「我陪向菱去外面走走吧,也順便熟悉一下。」59Please respect copyright.PENANAclGAQqlNea
59Please respect copyright.PENANAIB0b3K0Dzi
……這假裝貼心的語氣,怪噁心的。59Please respect copyright.PENANA5y3qhvgMLF
59Please respect copyright.PENANApLBD7JdMGi
向菱暗忖著。59Please respect copyright.PENANAUY0UUsWw5N
59Please respect copyright.PENANAE9iTNs3HrB
鄭娟極力表示贊成之後就闔上了房門,留下她和秦井在那乾瞪眼。59Please respect copyright.PENANAVimtnFEwgd
59Please respect copyright.PENANATrmxtZoNI4
室內的空氣沉悶到讓兩人相對無話。59Please respect copyright.PENANA35mZXuVs5l
59Please respect copyright.PENANAAfmvcWZXTr
她臉皮夠厚,決定掉頭就走,不搭理背後的中年男子。59Please respect copyright.PENANAKCQiRkJET0
59Please respect copyright.PENANABzndct1GBi
秦井的步伐比她大,很快就追上來。59Please respect copyright.PENANAqulCnPVwMg
59Please respect copyright.PENANAAM3yuvIWvi
向菱沒說話,一個勁的往旅館外面走。59Please respect copyright.PENANALOlksmWZcI
59Please respect copyright.PENANAdW6bDbcCMW
離開了鄭娟聽得到的範圍,大街上,秦井瞬間現出原形,氣炸:「你他媽……」59Please respect copyright.PENANAyA720xzxo9
59Please respect copyright.PENANAYaVfrX5rMn
向菱悶著頭快速逃離,秦井一邊咒罵一邊在後方猛追。59Please respect copyright.PENANAUkCWmmKPZA
59Please respect copyright.PENANA71bdTg6jBO
她跑的速度逐漸變慢,腿已經像是灌了鉛,後方的人即使拖著一身肥肉也能輕易追上。59Please respect copyright.PENANAO9TxD4kTlP
59Please respect copyright.PENANAqUeE4IC2LP
她認命地停下腳步,氣喘籲籲。59Please respect copyright.PENANAWxCVlxBvJY
59Please respect copyright.PENANAzEaqdKo5Wu
腳下的小巷潮濕而泥濘,路燈的冷光投射出兩道長長的影子,一前一後,纏繞如噩夢。59Please respect copyright.PENANAL0tBKirGy3
59Please respect copyright.PENANABvACcwMRCY
「……所以,你想談什麼?」59Please respect copyright.PENANAB2IDnxA5mP
59Please respect copyright.PENANAkhuzmcL7b4
秦井的模樣比她更加狼狽,半老的中年身體早就不堪負荷這種劇烈的跑動。59Please respect copyright.PENANAniMPHBicIV
59Please respect copyright.PENANAzfC1IrkhOc
男人緩過粗重的呼吸,咒罵:「死丫頭你他媽的還敢給我跑……老子非讓你脫層皮不可!」59Please respect copyright.PENANAiirKse4tkq
59Please respect copyright.PENANAdmCIOdrynd
向菱往後退了一步。59Please respect copyright.PENANAOwXpNv7g0V
59Please respect copyright.PENANAwgZcDpb9Mu
她還是不想靠近眼前這個惡言惡語的中年男人。59Please respect copyright.PENANAmzcHPa9PhI
59Please respect copyright.PENANArI68L3Qmx2
少女調整好了呼吸,硬生生截斷他的咒罵,「你想談什麼?早點說完。」59Please respect copyright.PENANAdkW9CXf5Xx
59Please respect copyright.PENANAkk0KkvEkXj
秦井倏地偽裝成正經的樣子,裝模作樣的咳了一聲:「只是要你答應不公開那些事,剩下的條件隨你開。」59Please respect copyright.PENANAaee5UN51rn
59Please respect copyright.PENANAs7ToHweGVP
他所說的那些事,指的是盜取別人文章,偷天換日得了不少獎項的事。59Please respect copyright.PENANAd3yUVUMFl6
59Please respect copyright.PENANAXlThRpvTzL
向菱把所有證據都存了下來,一旦她把那些東西發出去,在大眾的公審之下,大多數粉絲都會相信秦井抄襲。59Please respect copyright.PENANAGXPUHyG7i0
59Please respect copyright.PENANAHAXl5oh5EP
她握有這些消息,秦井自然不可能隨便惹毛這小姑娘,怕她一生氣衝動就把證據公開了。59Please respect copyright.PENANASsZok5ZuOC
59Please respect copyright.PENANAlyCNjftOwH
所以,秦井一步步踏入她的生活圈,想和她打好關係之後,兩人商議解決。59Please respect copyright.PENANAHhdT4rMx8d
59Please respect copyright.PENANAlzC4xKDoFZ
他不可能真的愛上鄭娟。59Please respect copyright.PENANAmoydkrvq9n
59Please respect copyright.PENANACC6GYzsof0
他的目的,只有讓日葵妥協,其餘的他甚至完全不在乎。59Please respect copyright.PENANABblUwUM4P6
59Please respect copyright.PENANAT1pPs5tA10
向菱把對方拙劣的算計看得透徹,她也並不是這麼容易被打動的人。59Please respect copyright.PENANAxkkmwr0Vgk
59Please respect copyright.PENANAEItHy9vgiT
她骨子裡頑強,劣根又驕傲。59Please respect copyright.PENANA9kqh84M4nP
59Please respect copyright.PENANAD3vkqRXidm
而且,姿態漂亮到不可一世。59Please respect copyright.PENANA0r9I5O8O9v
59Please respect copyright.PENANAxGnaTWH051
她只是懶得應付,於是裝作沒聽懂那些流言蜚語,披著一溫和處事的面具,把太深沉的厭惡、不耐煩都收起來。59Please respect copyright.PENANA6mGZUDBBWU
59Please respect copyright.PENANAMZ1cd5uzRR
少女抿著唇,垂下眼,握在衣袋裡的拳頭收緊了幾分。59Please respect copyright.PENANAhumTKzthu7
59Please respect copyright.PENANAv0GgGikDoQ
以前在北渝浪慣了,又不是沒打過架。59Please respect copyright.PENANAJNSLLE3SZI
59Please respect copyright.PENANA6AbuJIsQf3
秦井按捺了很久的怒氣也終於要爆發,他比她更急於解決此事。59Please respect copyright.PENANA2nLilc7VMy
59Please respect copyright.PENANA3H6uu4jWP7
秦井甚至擺起架子,「別忘了,我現在是你媽的未婚夫。」59Please respect copyright.PENANAwFw6wJNijr
59Please respect copyright.PENANAXa34EOoQ60
生著一張猥瑣面目的男人瞬間掄起拳頭,像是下一秒就要對她暴力。59Please respect copyright.PENANA1qleyLJGZx
59Please respect copyright.PENANAbFbuDt4MFE
向菱並不希望事情以這種方式收場。59Please respect copyright.PENANA0vhOPY0h67
59Please respect copyright.PENANAxTF0k1wTEd
畢竟,她就算有膽,也打不過。59Please respect copyright.PENANAkl5aQ9T2fu
59Please respect copyright.PENANAwwlycst0p8
但秦井,他只求達成結果,不在意過程如何,甚至不介意暴力調解。59Please respect copyright.PENANAv9WC4dnVuQ
59Please respect copyright.PENANAl8WZbFJfdS
男人獐頭鼠目,眼底怒火盛放燃燒,整張臉難看又猙獰。59Please respect copyright.PENANAOiOgJE0D3q
59Please respect copyright.PENANAD32jaB8Fx2
他揮起拳頭,腳也順勢要踹過來——59Please respect copyright.PENANAsVU31SguHz
59Please respect copyright.PENANA5L7bcpVx9b
向菱退無可退,秦井的拳頭已經高高舉起。她捏緊了拳,喉嚨發乾。
