到了花園家門口時，鈴蘭已經累得睡著了。327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSUT8ShAVqO
327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0KC6uTmGIT
車裡一片安靜，只剩微弱的引擎聲與她平穩的呼吸。航一轉頭看著她的睡顏，眼神不自覺地溫柔下來。她的睫毛靜靜垂著，髮絲散落在肩頭，隨著呼吸微微起伏。他輕輕一笑，解開安全帶，下車繞到副駕一側。正準備俯身替她解開安全帶、順勢將她抱下車時——327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdlKz3vr4Lb
327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8wGZmax0u2
一股味道撲進鼻尖。327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoJLZdN44Tg
327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe8V9JTplU3
是菸。327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjf5XUyhdmo
327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQgzEknMGJX
而且是那種，燃燒過的、仍帶著焦痕氣息的菸草味。327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsrZOKc5t5x
327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv20rCIPis5
航一呼吸忽然一滯。是誰——誰碰了她？327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxpU6nvvMBx
327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzFV4vDr2i5
航一的動作在空中頓了一下。那味道熟悉得讓人無法忽略。他清楚，鈴蘭的那幾位朋友裡，沒有一個吸菸的。那麼……這味道，是從哪裡來的？327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcJiB43DC3y
327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLLa1BNN8nk
他低下頭，視線落在她微微散亂的髮尾與衣袖上。淡淡的、卻明確的，是從她身上散出來的。327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvyVZJEGBvX
327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyCX1YtlxUG
航一的指尖微微一緊。他跟在大小姐身邊那麼多年，從未、一次都沒有在她身上聞過菸味。327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXfSUMM8rKj
327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMWiLQBVgGM
花園家的宅邸早已全面禁菸，除了老爺偶爾在書房裡抽雪茄，那是溫潤厚重的檀木香，與這種刺鼻、帶焦的味道完全不同。這味道瞬間把航一拉回了某個記憶的深處。327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUfebqI4DJ8
327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEJKBt2a7qc
——殘影街的風俗店。327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5E4JC39yxg
327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRCYwlRkA7d
327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9qGGpF99oL
那是他一輩子都不想再想起的地方。327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRGD4tUgAl3
327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCFrQxMu6fe
航一幾乎不敢相信自己的嗅覺，卻又一次次確認。他俯下身，靠近她的髮梢、外套的領口，那股味道確實存在。327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiitxoLuX1N
327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc509fGWHt5
不只是菸草。還有一種男性古龍水的味道，帶著金屬般的冷香與夜風氣息。327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4dSdsMzJFb
327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFbJv5vCREz
航一的喉嚨微微收緊，心跳卻莫名加快。那一刻，他第一次覺得，這股氣味，比任何謎團都更讓人窒息。
327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqEz29Nj4iv
沒有照原本的習慣將她抱回房間。他站在車邊，靜靜地看了她一會兒，那股味道仍縈繞在鼻尖，揮之不去。327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS69vR3LigV
327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGyB2yI9m4Y
他需要確認。需要更多……「證據」。327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFU4fKHrmlA
327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlU60ntc67l
於是，他輕輕喚醒她。「大小姐，到家了。」327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFFGfvl3lDB
327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbiguEFNfbu
鈴蘭半夢半醒地睜開眼，睡眼惺忪地點了點頭，「嗯……謝謝你，航一……」327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4OQt8IjyRT
她搖搖晃晃地走進屋裡，回到房間。327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsQvQRX07ot
327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXkJHDJm24O
不久後，傳來浴室水聲。她正在洗去旅途的疲憊，卻不知身後有人仍停在門外，神情陰鬱。327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4CUSTCCnnv
327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡohXDSreLpa
航一拿起她方才換下的上衣。指尖觸到那布料，他幾乎立刻感覺到那股味道——殘留、明顯、無法否認。327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMjkpC7jfzk
327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR2MQuz4APH
他仔細地看、又一次聞。從衣袖到衣領，從肩線到發梢輕觸的地方，他不是在懷疑她，而是在壓抑自己的動搖。327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ9wnxM2Kv8
327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBo1nAL14vV
航一的眉心微微一緊。那味道並非只是待過某個有吸菸者的地方，它太近、太深、太明顯。327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgBDf7rh4or
327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5brCb863Lt
那不是「經過」，而是「被抱過」。味道附在她的肩線與衣領，像是被誰留下一瞬的殘影。327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSci62Tdhv9
327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3RmE04RMJd
航一胸口微微發緊。這不是理性判斷，而是一種直覺。太熟悉她的氣味，也太清楚這股異味屬於他人。327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnB7P1L8jEi
327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcvdcUpT0SC
327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRj385tBc9Z
鈴蘭洗完澡後，整個人明顯精神多了。航一替她吹乾頭髮，她則打開手機，翻看旅途中拍的照片。327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4PHxu0MkEb
327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6x1HyROoZU
當然，她不可能留下任何有楓或其他男生的合照。她滑著螢幕，笑得天真無防備；而在她背後，航一的目光也靜靜落在那閃爍的畫面上，一張一張，他沒有說話，只是觀察。327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6aK5esEtjI
327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjlg8us01rG
熱風機的聲音停止。航一拔下插頭，收起電線，動作一如往常般沉穩。他拿起梳子，為她整理微濕的髮絲。327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHwMfVLjMj0
327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD1NCZy3fgR
「大小姐，這次旅行……開心嗎？」327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqzJnMJQa2c
「嗯，開心呀。航一要不要看照片？」327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2u3sKbwiyd
「好呀，等一下讓我看看。」327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGLIu34wYGc
327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkT2sHvlRBz
他語氣平淡，但眼底沒有笑意。327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0zNzTIgdKN
327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPzGj3pokAR
片刻沉默。然後他忽然開口，低沉、克制。327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt7Cx7HsMZI
327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn5KHH5fteC
「大小姐，今天——有人抱過您嗎？」327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo3ooh3gAKw
327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrXQHbuwfE2
鈴蘭的指尖一僵。滑動的手停在半空，螢幕光映出她錯愕的表情。腦中一瞬間空白。327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ95kBpXsOkc
327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSzpPu9zxlV
「欸、欸？抱、抱？也是啦，跟柚香她們呀……」327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ96mWf5JS82
「是嗎？」327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzRRDyXQmBX
「為、為什麼這麼問？」327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoOSerFcxKW
「柚香她們，有帶男朋友去嗎？」327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd8R6XjLAZd
「沒、沒有呀！就只有我們四個女生！」327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3IYPJDLZOw
327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoPzD6gHEAn
鈴蘭的腦袋瘋狂運轉，卻仍想不出自己哪裡露了餡。空氣忽然變得太安靜、太冷，連那一縷濕髮滑過肩頭的觸感，都讓她全身繃緊。327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5L9vtwrBzm
327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvGQTFceUyY
航一確實有看到，她和柚香她們在照片裡擁抱。難道那股味道，是從別人轉染過來的？柚香愛玩，若她抱過誰，又再摟了鈴蘭……327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL4rYYZ77Ue
327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4ZmyL2FJNc
他眉頭深鎖，收好梳子，轉過身，腳步往門口移去，心裡卻亂得像被撕開。327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOnLbdvQ0r0
327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq6dijZW06y
不要再想了。327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZvhIep23hx
327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLcum98ly78
他在心裡一遍又一遍地告訴自己。可那股味道太明顯，像一道無形的刺，牢牢卡在腦海裡，讓他無法假裝什麼都沒聞見。327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY5qaXXSqOW
327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxRVZI2VyRq
「航一，等一下——」327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTZrYwV6x22
327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK5nzOHKQiX
他一怔。327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGcpk1qHbcc
327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyyH1mQaWbL
下一秒，從背後傳來柔軟的觸感。鈴蘭抱住了他。327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBBln0FG2SD
327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOdGisJm1EQ
還是——327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOw4yzSFAvj
一樣的溫度。327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVtGvyQ7et9
一樣的力道。327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBLSItfG6ji
一樣的熟悉。327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAprg51p96a
327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡte3WbbOfmW
今天卻讓他幾乎喘不過氣。327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpg0PvbCXRC
327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSIFCHSWfG2
「我……很想你。」她的聲音貼在他背後，充滿甜膩，「今晚，可以留下來陪我嗎？」327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzZiYhl2GEy
327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNS0vguDyME
327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWughgbeRjK
