到了花園家門口時，鈴蘭已經累得睡著了。319Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHMMRaFf5mz
319Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZd1zMjSqGL
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——319Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3Fam1caRks
319Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7jCLFyfCVI
一股味道撲進鼻尖。319Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSPYJf2fX84
319Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR31mZVSSwX
是菸。319Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXRLy5tnpTd
319Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpopkYJ1g2c
而且是那種，燃燒過的、仍帶著焦痕氣息的菸草味。319Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcqqda1a1D3
319Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDp0LKydDGB
航一呼吸忽然一滯。是誰——誰碰了她？319Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbbOuNHEQoi
319Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡliKYg6UvTU
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？319Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvSSctA1Pd2
319Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSJbBjgfwGG
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。319Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU9qW32fT6Z
319Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiyypV7pj5S
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。319Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPuAfLJo4L6
319Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCwQx4GlaU4
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。319Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMEMD5E5LgS
319Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuC2BTzIpZd
——殘影街的風俗店。319Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRZd7V5K2eb
319Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDDcUcDfuC6
319Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7pViIPB6xZ
那是他一輩子都不想再想起的地方。319Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb25Im84bLA
319Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ91PJNtIVKs
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。319Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2Dt53VEVnf
319Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK77nlUkHFE
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。319Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrEM7JZn3A0
319Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9Kccb1Z17Z
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。
319Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy2MxCSQCRU
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。319Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa4Sfu7Ob1H
319Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiLS4cw4cV2
他需要確認。需要更多……「證據」。319Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV15ngqj34x
319Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡllny1zgmd2
於是，他輕輕喚醒她。「大小姐，到家了。」319Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2FYUNVDAPb
319Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3mC755tQxz
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……」319Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb6snyoucGC
她搖搖晃晃地走進屋裡，回到房間。319Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLBvLLKCd4x
319Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVsSt4yBUPm
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。319Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcK4UcZ3JPA
319Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ58cX0PxzoT
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。319Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhnPchfPHyx
319Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx8uh57VIST
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。319Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPjkxoheDfa
319Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡARvyfvLS3b
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。319Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXlNGrtbTYz
319Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBXM5QsB2Ad
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。319Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRLDezANhjN
319Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu90jEGOh5Z
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。319Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhAnY8etpLv
319Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFpwO3Wl1As
319Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk0Dh5RlMsa
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。319Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSGeLUGlrPR
319Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡInYsPBrwVE
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。319Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYbXieoAQR3
319Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMpTdEIoK2u
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。319Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjzB2A1tXvw
319Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ0PtwUcju2
「大小姐，這次旅行……開心嗎？」319Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEOO1DlW2Ml
「嗯，開心呀。航一要不要看照片？」319Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUsdCk2FoDN
「好呀，等一下讓我看看。」319Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHTj5oTSkFj
319Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm6KSFEnwca
他語氣平淡，但眼底沒有笑意。319Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6yVEKlenaz
319Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhDSjF27328
片刻沉默。然後他忽然開口，低沉、克制。319Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWty6cwgnEj
319Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0OgiI8mVfL
「大小姐，今天——有人抱過您嗎？」319Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoOA0ng86KR
319Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNUNugAscNj
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。319Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvJQIH1KZrI
319Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIWRvxqnAKj
「欸、欸？抱、抱？也是啦，跟柚香她們呀……」319Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYWxCNgvkzP
「是嗎？」319Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFhQ7zqAppZ
「為、為什麼這麼問？」319Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqQAb2TNkCC
「柚香她們，有帶男朋友去嗎？」319Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiYkbs3cogg
「沒、沒有呀！就只有我們四個女生！」319Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnlLPjDwmjS
319Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXJxdVp06ID
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。319Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZBZ4znoXDZ
319Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdb9waSlAoP
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……319Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcjCXRNGs7S
319Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQxysd90zmT
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。319Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe7QLZEWxux
319Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC2OlWF7gWS
不要再想了。319Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfeqzYpLgD8
319Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzJbhBaSDmv
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。319Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2Rrn1OwKYS
319Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEZeGmAamka
「航一，等一下——」319Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaTQVAJkaIq
319Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw5Dd3fy8WC
他一怔。319Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4fZCYwJfoK
319Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡorr4HqeTka
下一秒，從背後傳來柔軟的觸感。鈴蘭抱住了他。319Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWmytxGnZyX
319Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVv4n1WEWMT
還是——319Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlyVGQYHBWQ
一樣的溫度。319Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡouiifoP1fH
一樣的力道。319Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvqABAeteJO
一樣的熟悉。319Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvoryq5P21U
319Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRe4xaDhhcK
今天卻讓他幾乎喘不過氣。319Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1JNG4ZXfLK
319Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ61xtTKe1Ez
「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？」319Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsdn64ejkgz
319Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqjHao1qHSc
