正此時，花園露娜與花園彥治走到鈴蘭與航一身邊。221Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbJAMwoJrW4
「航一、鈴蘭，恭喜你們呀。」221Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIjFVGZfQRo
「叔父、叔母，您們好。」221Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAPbjQ87kYE
鈴蘭與航一被露蕾雅的父母拉去說話，留下伊利亞與露蕾雅單獨在一角。221Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz3B3IrwX4z
221Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5lTtdQH2VD
伊利亞忍不住拉著妹妹，壓低聲音：「露蕾雅，難道妳這個木頭……真的開始想談戀愛了？少女心終於覺醒啦？不覺的有點太晚熟了嗎？」221Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOG4x1lP3k9
221Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYLbrBd8NQj
露蕾雅眨了眨眼，忽然反將一軍：「伊哥，你要說我之前先顧自己吧？你從剛剛開始就一副超級不爽的表情……該不會你一直對鈴蘭姐姐……」221Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtVZkc8mdIB
221Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2VP4vpkAal
「笨蛋！沒有！」伊利亞拍了拍她的頭，「妳什麼時候變得這麼機敏？不要嚇我啊。」221Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsRY3tax8BM
221Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡks5CxZNmkI
露蕾雅撐著腮，歪著頭看他，語氣有些調皮：「擔心我之前，你是不是也該找個對象？不然到時候婚禮時要一個人喝悶酒囉。」221Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsGrsJz44jn
221Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiQguWoIp7k
伊利亞噎住，沉默了片刻，才勉強勾起笑：「放心，我就算喝悶酒，也有人陪……」221Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWE0Fs4NIng
221Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6DmRfUkWnb
「誰啊？」221Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAMG9pep2As
221Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2nn9klVDC0
「酒杯。」221Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdeQdoaO6WH
221Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlTQVaLog6m
221Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ1nmhYzW3j
221Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPRYNe441ww
砰——的一聲。221Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnjggFkzlGA
221Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8tpDZVMTHY
兄妹倆同時轉頭望去，只見不遠處的歐班恩，正被一群賓客帶來的孩子團團圍住。原來，是氣球被小孩不小心捏破的聲音。221Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIfbiQJhA7p
221Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0eqQ5V2aHK
「啊，是歐班恩」221Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡre2Y7u8bvC
221Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9Lo64izKdO
他笑著彎下腰，耐心地把氣球捏成各種形狀：有狗狗、有小劍，還有一朵朵的小花。孩子們歡呼著，爭相伸手要新的造型。221Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2mXqo9JpQH
221Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTEvt5KF6Zm
「歐班恩什麼時候學會這些東西的？」221Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxAlESQEhRj
221Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwCwjwRBil8
「他說過，學這個，是為了讓教會的孩子更開心。他一直想跟教會的孩子打成一片。」221Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpZhtH5DlKk
221Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2cESW9DRUX
「哇……他也太用心了吧，原來一直都在想著教會的孩子。」221Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo172nLuPB7
221Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ101PUc25kV
伊利亞嘴角微微上揚，眼神裡帶著一絲難得的振奮。221Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeCs4wlOL7w
221Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRXyScDsFDA
「嗯。那妳覺得……歐班恩怎麼樣呢？」221Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8EzVqLdiRY
221Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyQBu59OoeW
「看著他這樣陪孩子……有點感動耶。」221Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD7EZeu5ZVr
221Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEJn0lOAQRa
「那如果啊……歐班恩打算長期待在教會幫忙，妳會怎麼想？」221Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4zVVgUFhyP
221Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx3UOmidULq
「欸？」露蕾雅愣了一下，旋即眼睛一亮，笑得像向日葵一樣燦爛，「那當然是——超級開心的呀！」221Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAAvUEozhgs
221Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUMH7xETebr
她說得毫不掩飾，語氣裡滿是雀躍與期待。221Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhPYiOcfAdV
221Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGn7p1Bt417
伊利亞靜靜看著妹妹，心裡欣慰：——看來，這丫頭是真的動心了。221Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcpuNQONeLG
221Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZo1prA1qw9
221Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCsETKr5UiO
221Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDwdh5QJtbV
露蕾雅緩緩走到甲板邊緣，雙手扶著護欄，靜靜望向那片沉靜的海。海風微涼，吹散了些許酒意，裙襬在夜色裡微微顫動。221Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTXquz4GG4Y
221Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt9wpPzSEOD
她剛剛在室內與伊利亞嘻笑打鬧時，不知不覺多喝了幾口酒，此刻胸口悶悶的，便獨自走出來透透氣。221Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUvXcNK5w3h
221Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6tOgvuOVJw
不遠處，幾個隨父母登船的貴族孩子正追逐奔跑，笑聲清脆，仙女棒在他們手中劃出金紅火花，笑聲與流星般的光跡一同掠過甲板。221Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKnimc4E8j3
221Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK0xPzLRxWz
露蕾雅凝望著大海，思緒不受控制地被勾起，隨著浪潮一波波湧來。221Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo3qH80BMI2
221Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBlIF0tR7fh
「克拉維爾……現在就在這片海的某處吧。」221Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbgwR8YuwfP
221Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaWy1BvK4RZ
她在心裡輕聲呢喃。腦海裡閃過剛才鈴蘭與航一甜蜜的互動，她心底忽然一顫：221Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtbMa24esXM
221Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKoBreX2BVa
原本不被家族所允許的戀情，竟然也能被上帝祝福。那麼，我和他……會有可能嗎？221Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnsjFyk6OeZ
221Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnvLSz93Lwi
她立刻搖搖頭，對自己低聲反駁：「我怎麼會有這種想法？航一哥哥至少是個正常男人。人魚和人類……根本就是神話。」221Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8sehholELv
221Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCtbtrPl18A
但記憶裡，玩偶婆婆的聲音又浮現——她親眼見過有人魚放棄魚尾，追隨內心的呼喚，離開大海，與人類締下契約。221Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEf46KbJtis
221Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwCbrFTvfxR
露蕾雅心裡更亂了，喉嚨緊緊，她幾乎不敢深想。221Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc7eTn0my7t
221Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYULLsFh0wI
怎麼能奢求克拉維爾為我做出這樣的犧牲呢？221Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDuIiqdQMbj
221Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDQRuTZE8EL
而偏偏，腦中還縈繞著航一剛才那句「用命追來的」……到底，那又意味著什麼？221Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiqycE8QxB4
221Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnt99m5abyT
如果我願意付上代價，變成人魚呢？ 是否有這樣的魔法？221Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRBdOaaAcHB
221Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcHDzwx3fLD
就在她陷入矛盾時，有一道熟悉的身影悄然靠近。221Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ1nsF9d8Gt
221Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr5E3e6reR9
是鈴蘭。221Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3Dk4VcKBi9
221Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ17XohZBvdV
她默默站到露蕾雅身旁，沒有急著開口。只是與她一同望向遠方的夜海。221Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlGw3b4rD7I
221Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxv5SKL3PHM
沉默了良久，鈴蘭聲音溫和問道：「在想誰呢？」221Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTFWRehAqGB
221Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2QzlNkW77u
露蕾雅差點把話噎回去，臉頰微微泛紅，吞了吞口水，支支吾吾地說：「只是……想到一些不可能的事。」221Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNACAleSKCZ
221Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0FC03UUjuJ
鈴蘭笑了，伸手替她撥開一縷亂髮，神情溫柔又帶著一絲淘氣：「有些事，看起來不可能，但也不是絕對。人生裡，傳統或社會說不行的事，往往要由人心自己決定要不要讓它發生。」221Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEpNQaV9FvQ
221Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1y0TSIhFTn
露蕾雅低聲問：「如果是我喜歡上一個不可能的人？」221Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSP59JLzoq8
221Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡevYu1z8JE6
鈴蘭望著她：「妳先別急著給自己答案。先去懂、去感受，再決定要不要勇敢。愛，很多時候不是一個人單方面的選擇；但若從不嘗試，又怎會知道結局呢？」221Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyRsfmntb4Q
221Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgeAqLlegcO
露蕾雅沉默了一下，終於忍不住開口。221Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYYSzCpNFoO
221Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY2pYz6VDAl
「鈴蘭姐姐……如果妳身邊有一個人，非常適合結婚。他人真的很好，家人也都喜歡他，門當戶對，條件完美……而且，他還會全心全意支持妳做的事。但是……沒有那種心跳加速的感覺，那……妳還會選擇和這樣的人結婚嗎？」221Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmDxkXYkmGA
221Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv9q6IPLgER
鈴蘭愣了一瞬，腦海裡不由自主地閃過天城悠人的身影。那是父親為她安排的第一位未婚夫——家世門當戶對，條件優秀無比，人俊心善，溫柔體貼，在旁人眼中近乎完美。然而，那段關係裡始終缺了一份心動。221Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJARBmifQRI
221Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh07QVbI465
她垂下眼簾，溫柔地笑了。221Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8LNzRqU59W
「這樣的人……聽起來，比較適合做好朋友吧。」221Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7UWeB28GUs
221Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqvcpEDekqg
她頓了頓，目光落在露蕾雅眼裡，語氣篤定：「為什麼一定要結婚呢？」221Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkhA9KH1Rgj
221Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq2rTo7Bxdm
露蕾雅怔在原地。221Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtzsJUwkmps
221Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfQFr7Ewvh0
想起之前兩位姊姊的勸說，她們都認為歐班恩是絕佳的人選，是天作之合。唯獨鈴蘭姐姐，給出了完全相反的答案。221Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRSy4qYsW7L
221Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNf5yihs5Qy
原來，就算遇上條件完美的人，也不一定要結婚。221Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBHDiXxid7B
221Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVVvF7fPHzd
也可以只是——一位能並肩的夥伴，一位能傾心交託的知己。221Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8AvTd17GHz
221Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA1NpY6ZSdt
腦海裡，浮現出歐班恩那溫柔陪伴孩子的身影。
