「唉！」Alice望著天空上一朵很像飛機形狀的大白雲，深深嘆了一口氣。416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgCgfmYHyHr

「放假為什麼還在嘆氣，要好好享受假期呀。」Betty一口咬下Alice弄的蛋腿三文治。416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3IGD0baGTs

秋天的天空很晴朗，沒有什麼雲朵，偶爾會有幾隻七彩的鮮艷風箏飛翔在蔚藍天空裡，配上清涼微風，是個很合適野餐的日子。416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQptFy50q7n

Alice和Betty就在海旁的大草地上坐著和躺著，她們鋪了一塊藍白色橫條紋的大布塊，上面放滿著她們昨晚精心製作的食物：壽司、煎餃子、藍莓布丁等等……416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB1AeKsNH3e

Alice坐起來，臉色一沉：「今天要去爺爺的八十歲壽宴，到時又要與一眾親戚見面，被拷問一堆問題，光想像已經很難受。」416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxVq1YhNU1L

Betty的長髮被風吹得有點微亂：「我明白！但別人要怎樣說是他們的事情，不須把他們的話放心上，我們清楚知道自己是誰就行了。」416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5mpsKgvOpl

下午4時，Alice媽媽催促著Alice，他們快到出門的時間了：「Alice快點呀！我們不能遲到，不然不知道別人會怎樣說我們，我們會被看笑話的。」416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfYAAB9IcfL
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMtNJnDKdqb
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCNp7xUrG62
Alice聽到媽媽又一味只提「別人」，做什麼都只是猜疑他人對自己的想法，只在乎別人的一切，她心裡就蘊釀著不爽。她想為自己而活，不想活在他人眼光底下被猜疑控制。416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9cCWkClCxl

416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb054kZmmq6
家裡的裝潢都是由Alice媽媽一人決定的，買什麼傢俱和擺設，她都是以「別人會不會覺得我很有品味」的眼光來挑選。深藍色的沙發是因為Alice媽媽的同事說沙發要買深藍色才時尚、粉紅色的廚具是因為她的舊同學說多用粉紅色的東西能保持少女心……416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC0AXjypc6D

Alice急腳換上粉紅色的連身裙，再加上一件白色外套。416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡht23Mi5rYP
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuJJT4QixCR
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUy6lnFp9v3
「我好了啦，不要再催促我了。」Alice不情願地開門走出客廳。416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdAf4ZeTKUf
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1teUDLO6qu
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWT1lm9BgFP
Alice媽媽反應很大：「哎呀！不知道親戚們會不會喜歡妳穿粉紅色，他們長輩比較喜歡吉利的大紅色呀。」所以她自己就穿了一身紅，儘管她沒有很愛這種喜慶紅色。416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz49AIPhOrL
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw4ySptAQtC
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjCN41BOU8Q
Alice爸爸幫口：「Alice自己喜歡粉紅色就行了。」416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDnbtWWmigR
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3dbl7xRHPg
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBRUppZ2xSM
「對，衣服是穿在我身上，我自己喜歡就行了。」Alice嘗試堅定自己的選擇。416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSuvg5CQf0Z
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA2wAOcnZi9
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1S3Ib0z5v7
Alice媽媽完全沒把話聽進出：「才怪。別人都會看我們，我們會被他們取笑和在背後說壞話的。」她討厭看到別人否定和厭惡她的臉容。416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUyPNAQTg76

他們到了生日宴的場地，場面佈置得紅噹噹，滿是鮮紅色的氣球，台側放著一個大壽桃形狀的大蛋糕，氣氛也非常熱鬧，一眾親戚都在裡面交頭接耳地聊天，但……416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq0r6QcYvr4
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡud8WsAkmLP
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡklaXTAD9E6
Alice媽媽聲音有點震顫：「我……我……有看錯嗎？還是……我們去錯了地方……」416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ49FQfiyjVL
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6MrQtFcShW
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ18rC7wl5kq
Alice爸爸也差點說不出話來：「我……也不知道……這是……變裝派對嗎？」416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKpSWFkioUR
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM3VBqRUhgG
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7tA7uvQNt6
酒樓內的親戚們，都變成了各式各樣的……怪獸。他們都還有本來樣子的一些眉目，但是Alice看到姑媽的眼睛變了三顆，頭頂長了一根天線，手腳變了鴨子的模樣，而堂兄的嘴巴變了鳥嘴，耳朵變很巨型，還有其他眾多的親戚，樣子都變得不尋常了。416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡglynjtvQhb
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTWJMDriOvK
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl31s4Y2FCF
姑媽一看到Alice一家進場，視線迎上，就馬上走向他們。416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHmY3XeLgyX
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1qGbAQ6dVP
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFbuwizb1hN
Alice看到姑媽——翠環三隻眼睛看她的眼神都沒有異樣，還熱情地主動擁抱了爸爸一下。Alice看到自己老爸驚慌到不行，臉色發白，身體僵硬的縮著。416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1t6v0Z4bSi
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVaKIMzvbWO
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJHC6yccojY
翠環發現Alice爸爸神情不對勁，立即調侃他：「怎樣了嗎？不願意看到我嗎？」416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGiiISG9LuJ
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiTKDyjYVE9
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0t5efPwpDa
Alice幫爸爸打圓場：「沒有啦，爸爸他腸胃不舒服，肚子痛而已。」她努力維持平靜，但她感受到自己的視線還是忍不住飄向翠環姑媽的三隻眼睛上。416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2AfEm6Ja2j

416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVb3pH9ofSW
Alice一家三口有共同的默契，就是盡力裝作一切正常，畢竟還逗留其中，剛到就拔腿就跑不是很有風度。416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKNVnIu3UKM
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAiLwGxii6e
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0IWPgIR7f1
他們坐下來，先倒了一杯熱茶安定心神。Alice的媽媽維持鎮定與其中的親戚互相交代近況，表面上是關心，實際上是競爭和試探。416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjQ2EHTL0Je
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ39W1gPdKzC
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJIrBVPHoLt
這位親戚好像是Alice爸爸的堂哥吧，五十多歲，染黑了的頭髮和雙手佈滿閃亮的鱗片，看得Alice覺得好刺眼。416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiXoW5oSauT
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ30I7B28Isp
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvMJW3El39I
鱗片親戚藏不住驕傲地炫耀自己兒子的成就，豪邁地大聲說：「我兒子啊，已經買了一層豪宅給我們一家人住，還購買了水晶紅酒杯套裝給我，真是孝順到不得了啊。」416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWB4qDF6znh
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3pauhF6FvB
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeVANfV3e5N
Alice媽媽也是懂得和別人打交道的人，她笑嘻嘻配合：「是嗎？真厲害！那你兒子今天有來嗎？讓我們看看這位優質男呀。」416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq2xViJAUfK
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwpWMcDWlaD
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFsekRTm96l
鱗片親戚哈哈大笑，像掩飾心裡的一點落寞：「哈哈，他工作很忙碌，沒時間呀。」416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1Y3nCzXwLq
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0qSW5shJP0
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmTirVFosqq
Alice媽媽看出他們父子好像沒有很親：「喔，也是，要賺錢嘛。那他年紀多大？沒記錯應該三十出頭吧？真是年輕有為。」416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5cG1bv9bcK
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNpcDrYS0oc
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2DZ9Z7a7gU
鱗片親戚沉默下來：「呃……」他想不起來自己的兒子幾歲了，畢竟他有三個「老婆」，兒女也有好幾個。所以他話峰一轉，問起Alice的事情來：「那妳女兒呢？做什麼工作呀？交男朋友了嗎？」416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6G44HkMjSY
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB7DCe2D0F7
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvqbI7ihDSt
Alice心裡開始難受起來，親戚必問的無聊問題又來了，而她媽媽又要準備自貶身價了。416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqjXg3s7v9Z
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1k1Nol0Dto
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkCeIwg0qMt
果然，Alice媽媽開始樂在其中自貶起來：「哎呀，我們沒你那麼好，沒買房子，女兒又說要拼夢想，不想花時間交男朋友。」416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3jfxYhzN2U
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBb9uiZovl0
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm1du6L1Lm2
鱗片親戚開始更加自信起來：「那可不行呀，女人最終還是要嫁人的啊，快交個有錢有房子的男朋友，之後結婚生子吧。」416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLnxZfF5kSW
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6iPeoDPy0k
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN37yDiOvWZ
Alice不認同他人將他自己的價值觀硬放別人身上，氣上心頭：「每個人要的東西都不一樣，女人也可以活得很獨立，追求自己的人生目標，而不是只是依賴男人，盲目結婚。」416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvHFp6HElT1
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLEQgqVVsSN

洗手間裡，Alice和媽媽一起在鏡子前補妝，也摸摸自己的臉頰，再三確認自己的樣子還是個「人」。416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZJXFq0rrFL

416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4ekvnkMFND
Alice媽媽整理身上和場地很襯色的紅衣服，輕描淡寫：「我說呀，妳何時才要交男朋友？我又給別人取笑女兒還沒嫁啦，妳不結婚會讓別人覺得很奇怪的呀。」416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpm2vuqR7nA
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpDl0qtZa9E
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVi9X9OQooX
Alice好想哭：「這麼在意別人，妳沒飯吃，別人會給飯妳吃嗎？別人把妳當飯後話題說說就扔掉了，才不會把妳放心上。我的人生是我自己的，學習為自己而活吧。」416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkBu9skq1Bh

416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuF4tzEqTTv
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvtCC5Dp5o6
Alice媽媽仍然故我：「對了，那他們會因為我們還是正常的人樣，和他們不同而覺得我們奇怪嗎？還是我們也要裝奇異？」好了，她補好她的唇蜜了。416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKSAe1UWtU3
