她提了兩個水桶，一口氣奔下教會前的沙灘。月光灑落在海面上，她褲腳捲起，踩進涼涼的潮水中，手不停地裝水，一次又一次，直到兩個水桶都滿了。361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7XzPgzIZ3X
361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8GhkWfut2z
她小跑步地回到山洞。那裡仍是安靜的，只有小油燈的火光在石壁上搖晃。人魚還躺在原地，沒動過。蘋果和藥丸依舊原封不動地擺在身旁。361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8VtsnAgnHz
361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjcue4mvC5m
他看起來虛弱，幾乎快融進岩地裡。361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI0aIhMBSb4
361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3r7c7IhoR4
「來了。」露蕾雅輕聲說，半跪在他身邊，先將一桶水緩緩倒在他身上。361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEJ3L3rJ9ZK
361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl7mSN31Ckr
海水潑下的瞬間，他的身體像是觸電了一樣猛然顫動了一下——銀紫色的瞳孔瞬間睜開，唇色泛起紅潤，臉頰也明顯浮上血色，遲來的生命被重新點燃。361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN9y9gy3oDm
361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvju6x5ZPrE
他望著她，眼神明亮了許多，像在訴說「謝謝」，卻說不出口。361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkaj20J8eE4
361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlp04oTa2jE
露蕾雅愣住了一秒，然後恍然。361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFQl9KHXKjd
361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpIptu50rSv
「原來你真的需要海水……」她喃喃低語，嘴角泛起微笑。361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6goZm59h9Y
361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8Ec4YbFHsL
她沾濕毛巾，湊近他。「我幫你擦擦吧？會舒服一點。」361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSZJ4b6ggxV
361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzVwgGUjLN4
沒想到她才剛伸手，人魚就忽然臉一紅，身體往後縮了一寸。361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNIw6d8WpOe
361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmONcIRuQiN
她瞪大眼：「欸？難道我又猜錯了嗎？」361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzApxC10nvY
361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGiwOGasA46
他卻又搖搖頭，眼神帶著掙扎，彷彿想要靠近，卻又不好意思直接開口。361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgyZ56hDOps
361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxXH97AGGkO
下一秒，他慢慢地將身體向她湊近，渴望那帶著海味的濕毛巾，但又努力克服本能的不安。361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr04kB0mgF0
361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5TdaKwdtb8
露蕾雅忍不住笑了，輕聲說：「好吧，那我幫你。」361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡABMqegttW0
361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY58WP9QPPF
她小心翼翼地將濕毛巾擦過他額頭、臉頰與頸側。動作很輕，就像怕驚動一隻受傷的海獸。而人魚的臉上，竟浮現出一個幾乎不可察覺的微笑。361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNJznDfeLQL
361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCCs3Fg9hAL
身體已經先一步誠實地回應了海水的慰藉，卻又不願讓人類看出自己其實正在享受。361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtSMZUurWVn
361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6SW0mupFQu
露蕾雅一邊擦，一邊壓低聲音輕笑：「啊……你真的喜歡！」361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPSh2KbOfkr
361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpxJOIA3bWw
人魚眼睛一瞪，立刻又往後縮了一點，像是被發現秘密的小獸。361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3XRFxnNOoX
361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCydv9bk7J1
「啊……對不起對不起，我不講了、不講了！」361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbYWiLTLsiO
361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvq7uQUDURM
沉默了一會，她試探性地問道：「那……你要不要擦擦身體？我可以幫你……當然，如果你願意的話。」361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgSu35cRX4i
361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs00hAgE2fs
她語氣輕得像一縷風，遞出去的是信任，而不是要求。361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyHtq4Ox5rE
361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWaG5ppxmha
這一夜，月光正亮。海水也溫柔，而兩個原本不該交會的生命，終於開始走近了彼此的呼吸。361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3Mlmptjs6m
361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ7C2yMWL30
361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡweob1Jx1Zj
361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEbdYOTzgR6
他沉默了一會兒，眼神裡仍帶著遲疑。但就在下一瞬，他看見了那個女孩——361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡes4EPA8s0N
361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoRZXZljTce
她捲起的褲管上滿是濕沙與泥濘，小腿沾著海水濺起的碎貝與礫石；白色襯衫早已被海風與浪花打濕，貼在身上，顯出她瘦小卻頑強的身形。米金色的髮絲凌亂地貼在臉側，淡色的睫毛在濕氣中微顫；那雙碧綠的瞳孔透出堅定的光。361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPXGCt59lWP
361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgNSPb4hLa9
而那張臉，在月光的映照下，竟像一尊從海面走來的天使。361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkZwd2VFnld
361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy1Qp2w2yaD
他從未想過，人類也能這般溫柔。與那些追捕、窺探他們家園的人相比，她就像來自另一個世界。361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfac3YQDGKh
361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhkBw7w96Q2
她的氣息很輕，卻不容忽視；她的舉動不誇張，溫柔得令人想放下所有戒心。翡色的眼眸真摯而專注，讓他的心微微一顫。361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK5d17Eug6F
361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrgxdw73MIF
露蕾雅再次沾濕毛巾，湊近他身旁。361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ79qdiK5c0V
「可以嗎？」她低聲問道。361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY3pwv5AOzd
361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6sMwXlpVWX
人魚沒有立刻回答。他的眉頭緊蹙，眼神裡浮現一種矛盾，渴望靠近，卻又不敢觸碰；像是忍耐痛苦，又怕自己會在某個瞬間動搖。361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUL5OKiu9jd
361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx0pUqMBkOn
她原本注視著他的眼睛，但視線不自覺地滑落——經過鎖骨、落在胸膛，再到那條被海水映得發亮的腹線。她瞪大了眼，像是被什麼突如其來的畫面電到。361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5MAkzaSLVV
361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXF9Xmzwkjs
她連忙別開目光，耳根迅速泛紅，心中大喊：「不行不行，我是在幫助他……幫助他，冷靜！」361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfe229OARbg
361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsiOe5MPRZS
深吸一口氣後，她重新整理語氣，說道：「不然這樣好了……我不碰你。」361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfvha459mA4
361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡglGCzcQtb5
她舉起毛巾，將沾了海水的那一端高高舉起，讓水珠緩緩滴落，滴在他鎖骨與胸前。361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2qmDIJyRjR
361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZi2T8jcrul
海水一滴滴滑落，如清晨的露，落進焦土。人魚的肌肉微微一顫，原本緊繃的身體彷彿在那一刻稍稍放鬆了些。361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuPNfovS699
361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdmd530V6Jx
他的臉上浮現出一種極短暫的、幾乎快樂的表情——眼角笑了，唇角不自覺地微微上揚。但那表情只維持了一秒，便被他猛然咬住的下唇壓了回去。像是被他人發現了什麼不得了的破綻。361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyMQTXtWNx6
361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF7uCBcZ6rQ
露蕾雅看見那瞬間的變化，卻什麼都沒說。她只是抿著唇，把手中的毛巾輕輕一擰，再度讓一串細流沿著他的肩膀與胸口滑下。361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqy3LJ3TMkb
361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ0dDQRuqwt
她不說話，他也不說話。山洞裡只剩下海水落下的聲音、月光穿過岩縫的微顫、以及某種，無聲的心跳。361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4EHKJzgFD1
361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnXJo90grvb
361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmtxJf6tb1l
361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8BcnLYt3BK
361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡarFc3MUvc7
「啊，我想到了！」361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGovWF0wARv
361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIXX8NYlRGP
露蕾雅忽然像是被什麼靈感擊中，猛地站起來。她轉身就要往洞口跑去，眼裡閃著某種迫不及待的光。361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT16BBhoB9E
361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeo0B2jsHEG
但還沒等她邁出第二步，背後忽然傳來一道微弱又急促的聲音：361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgziYWaY5j4
361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa8o7fUdw0Y
「等……等等！」361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡszy3eIrUSX
361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNxJaVyzzNs
她猛地停下腳步，像是沒聽清似的轉過身來。361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxboYrXBm7R
361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYEBulqIOff
「你會說話？！」她睜大雙眼，聲音裡是一種近乎敬畏的驚喜。361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡozvlv0XetJ
361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMR08kdYyc9
那人魚有些慌亂地靠著岩壁，氣息仍不穩，但眼神裡有難掩的羞赧和不知所措。他的嗓音微啞，顯然不曾與人類說話過。361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsS71ex4zMH
361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAHeYHxDZw8
「妳、妳……妳往何處去？」361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKQrETZ3yrW
361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv0q9FhdOhE
那聲音清澈而帶著沙啞，像是沉眠多年的海螺終於吹出第一口氣。不是低沉的男低音，而是輕盈卻帶磁性的男中音，帶著海潮般溫柔的餘韻與迴響。那聲音，是吟誦古老詩篇的靈族會有的嗓音，纖細而乾淨。361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR2YNwzO71e
361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNXDvrO9Lsi
露蕾雅一愣，旋即笑了，完全沒注意到他臉上的紅潮，回道：361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBPo8Fmiry3
361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxhfTSzkvOJ
「我想說……去拿一條大浴巾，沾上海水幫你包起來，這樣你應該恢復得比較快！」她說得自然又熱切，眼睛裡閃著某種興奮的光，像是剛剛完成了什麼重大的醫療發現。361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi6lEREiaZd
361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9fxWjJpgM9
話才說完，她便毫不猶豫地轉身、快步跑出山洞。361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiWnR8hqSPT
361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIgswqI40SQ
而洞裡，只剩下那名人魚。361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2Y5z9W4zZX
361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9tcWdlpJjD
他呆坐在原地，目光還停留在她離去的方向。半晌，他垂下頭，嘴角抿得死緊，耳根卻紅得幾乎能滴出血來。361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBR3ULbBiXe
361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaA5GezFlto
他想起方才那一滴滴落在身上的海水、她柔聲的問句、還有自己第一次開口叫住她的瞬間。361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw3Q8pPiUmU
361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrAkXNybncI
他感覺自己的臉已經燒到發燙。361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkvUdxn11US
361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHtUiXowXpf
——還好她沒看見。361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZajavAlXNP
361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeI6M4GpGIf
他閉上眼，輕輕吐出一口氣。腦海中浮現那個畫面——她在海邊提著大大的水桶，以那纖細的四肢，一次又一次走向浪裡。361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwWubvx2dgi
361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmdcmJc1cBE
心跳如潮水一般，悄悄淹過胸口。361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEAtqrwHJ1b
