「妳考這什麼分數！？」633Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUy7ceXtIaE
633Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWhEQWAx4Ei
一百年前，父親的書房內，十六歲的葛蕾絲．懷特（Grace White）像做錯事的犯人，站在拜占庭風格的米色地毯上，被人審問。633Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZCKlfWJj9D
633Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ8VmvgW9Y5
「其它就算了，為什麼連英文都不及格？妳是在洛杉磯長大的，不是台北！」633Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUOq2IhgW5T
633Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNfPx5rwMZr
她的父親，她那在學術界赫赫有名的父親──阿道夫．懷特（Adolph White），收到女兒成績單的當下，差點氣到中風，血壓估計和葛蕾絲的成績單一樣，都是紅字。633Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXmh960MiqZ
633Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrJa0wArxkN
「洛杉磯才不會用那些字。」633Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYGM1UZXwKD
633Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEZ22vOThug
葛蕾絲心想失算，自己每天守株待兔、打算攔截成績單，阿道夫卻私下聯絡學校，說成績單直接寄去他的研究室。果然，自己女兒在打什麼主意，父親都知道。633Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ95os4Em0Jq
633Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEtDQX97HVm
「30名……班上才33個人，還有兩個生病缺考！」阿道夫繼續罵：「妳哥哥三年的排名加總，都沒這個數字大！」633Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaP714v1PRr
633Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiMVnHbFKHn
聽到「哥哥」兩字，葛蕾絲理智斷裂。她不是乖乖挨罵的類型，葛蕾絲反問父親：「你為什麼只看那張紙？我拳擊比賽拿金牌，你也沒稱讚一句！」633Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡah34piNDix
633Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcmKMQaXDvL
「我沒有反對妳玩社團，但妳的身分是學生，不是職業選手。」阿道夫再罵：「妳不讀書，以後能幹什麼？當隻宅在家的阿米巴原型蟲、等著嫁人？妳也沒男朋友！」633Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2vMYx3RvtT
633Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQdgi3T51Ep
真是夠了。葛蕾絲握拳，忍住揍人的衝動，回了句：「難怪媽會跟你離婚！」氣得走出書房，甩門離開。633Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnDmQIIsbEp
633Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡItzedU6otU
「讀書讀書讀書……除了拿我跟哥哥比較，那老頭還會幹什麼！」633Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSKEPylUeEb
633Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCFISbm7bWH
回到自己房間，葛蕾絲從床底下拿出工具箱，拆開今天一早寄來的包裹。書桌上有她自己畫的設計圖，葛蕾絲只瞄一眼，便把設計圖扔到旁邊，將包裹裡的木材拿出來，開始組裝。633Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKmBdOqGi9B
633Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1z1O2Tr4vI
敲敲打打，一會兒用鐵鎚，一會兒用電鑽，還用鋸子慢慢割。葛蕾絲無師自通，年僅十六歲的她，廚藝、手作、木工、裁縫……什麼都會，儼然是個天才，就是不會讀書，也很討厭考試。633Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9tJqQ8s9qt
633Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7suZnJZleM
雖然父親是大學教授，但葛蕾絲不懂，課本寫的東西可以幹嘛？唸到高中，也不見哪一科的課本有寫「如何修電腦」、「如何煮一桌好菜」，一點也不實用。633Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ54QbwNlTzD
633Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAEo4Ds9Ofy
與其花錢，葛蕾絲寧可自己動手。因為沒有放獎盃的櫃子，她自己買材料、畫設計圖，不必擔心尺寸不合、需求不合，什麼都自己來。633Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtsu07kOoBQ
633Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSA8Dyhr9xt
「叩叩。」633Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0w14rJYLT8
633Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdsuTKHqxyZ
聽見敲門聲，葛蕾絲停下動作，走去開門。站在外面的人，有跟她一樣的銀白色頭髮，也有跟父親一樣的琉璃色眼睛。633Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrgbv6REAF8
633Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPOwzE3BIMy
「幹嘛？」633Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzgjm4KZWpz
633Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAzOsJMgcjc
葛蕾絲的口氣沒有很好，也沒有很糟。她高中練拳擊，剪了一頭很短的頭髮，只比哥哥的頭髮長一點。633Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0uVkOJK57L
633Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlh33oP1WpJ
「妳在做什麼？」633Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvXoRPC9X77
633Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrm5aCJk0d2
里奧．懷特（Leo White）──她那剛滿十八歲的哥哥，雖然有一張好看的臉，卻總是沒表情，也不怎麼笑。633Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrYiQnSVYyR
633Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdlCNsbCYQf
「我房間缺一個櫃子。」葛蕾絲再問一次：「你幹嘛？」633Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtcS81vzEmQ
633Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT0yuYLT63k
瞄了眼房裡的半成品，里奧告訴她：「聲音很大，我在念書。」633Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaHB4At1KxL
633Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5TokqcxyU4
想起剛才和父親的對話，葛蕾絲莫名火大。633Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvS0vNuJ89a
633Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO4wK57ZpJG
「你不是有耳機？」633Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyG8EYKHjzn
633Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH5GMx0OPkY
「……。」633Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsbSNy2ZboC
633Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2Re8c44PD4
「這些工具就是這樣，會發出聲音，很吵。」633Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEbhSLr5bH7
633Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡilYQYTsNo5
葛蕾絲臉上寫著「你想怎樣」四個字。里奧沒有多說，默默走回自己房間，戴耳機，開音樂。633Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡthXrx3M7hl
633Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWklYiIs5Xa
關起房門，葛蕾絲繼續忙。她拿著螺絲起子，一邊鎖螺絲一邊想哥哥的事。633Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7Uq69jhxko
633Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEpcW4qix8i
他們真的很不一樣。葛蕾絲不會讀書，里奧很會；葛蕾絲很愛講話，里奧不愛；葛蕾絲喜歡熱鬧，里奧討厭。要不是頭髮顏色，沒人相信他們是兄妹。633Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI5uQxopEjT
633Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoQed7IUjDp
打從小，還住在洛杉磯時，他們就知道彼此性格南轅北轍，生活圈也不同。葛蕾絲記得：她常和一群男孩踢足球，那時候的里奧會提著小提琴盒，從球場旁走過去。就算對上眼，兄妹倆也不會打招呼。633Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwXQSu9yZOa
633Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡudFbuCxp8M
他們關係沒有不好，無論葛蕾絲用什麼口氣說話，里奧都沒有反應，要吵也吵不起來。與其說兄妹，更像不熟的室友，各過各的日子。633Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMpktAiLZD2

「店長，下班的卡我先打，這十五杯外送完，我就順路回家囉。」633Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0Vc6P7fmQb
633Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHPGHCv9Frk
633Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaQOLgNyr8x
基於對父親的報復，和在洛杉磯養成的個人主義，葛蕾絲高中畢業沒有升學。她做過很多工作，速食店、冰淇淋店、文具店、飲料店……原本都是打工，但她機靈、學習力強、反應快，不管在哪工作，兩個月後都會升職，變成組長或轉為正職。633Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrINV1HoI3G
633Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjDMbem30qo
比起念書，工作快樂多了。雖然會遇到白目的客人，但不用考試、不用去學校，努力賺錢再開心花掉，葛蕾絲很喜歡這樣的生活。633Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxiloAfcQBq
633Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI8zMttUJd0
載著十五杯飲料、騎著自己買的摩托車，葛蕾絲發現這次外送的地點，是哥哥讀的大學。里奧在學校頗有名氣，因為他成績好、獎學金領不完，還有那張臉──葛蕾絲承認，她哥哥確實很帥。可惜啊，連朋友都沒有的人，當然也沒有女朋友。633Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjAWE3jigCo
633Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmG5vhDuy2d
「久等了，你的十五杯飲料。」633Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ53nLwqA6w8
633Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh7EH2SqhHA
抵達學校側門，幸好叫外送的不是里奧，是一個身高偏矮、骨架很小的男同學，五官很秀氣。633Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ8RTzQZrKz
633Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvZGWBLDQoS
「謝謝。」633Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpIlS9hRn5f
633Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3K7xl5oU8u
確認東西沒問題，男同學沒有離開，反而盯著葛蕾絲的臉。她覺得奇怪，開口問：「怎麼了嗎？」633Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡffrY2Teri5
633Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVBFq5bwtVx
那位同學歪頭。他有一雙漂亮的、灰色的眼睛，卻始終半開，還有淡淡的黑眼圈，一副想睡的臉，感覺很慵懶。633Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnoODE2wf30
633Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFcvjoq3AW5
「妳是里奧的妹妹嗎？」633Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡysJnQSfRMB
633Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8wfhX6g9tK
葛蕾絲嚇一跳，但冷靜想，自己的髮色並不常見，聯想到里奧很正常。633Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8ZUEZYcvCK
633Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvAAnoRJCom
「你認識我哥？」葛蕾絲沒有否認，反問對方。633Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5FinMJ1GLy
633Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLBcp7uB5rI
「嗯。」灰眼睛的人點頭，「他是我朋友。」633Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRyHBPT55qe
633Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWHeEuufWde
「他有朋友……！」633Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUWpCVoi7mb
633Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeHAi1p8iRZ
葛蕾絲不小心說出真心話。灰眼睛的人一聽，輕輕笑了兩聲，表示：「你們真的很不像。」633Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkrLYLfMvsz
633Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtkdkTGwBl8
「除了頭髮顏色，我們沒有一個地方像。」633Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIf3mPpxfix
633Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDNz0wlDOwJ
里奧的朋友，這種稀有亞種不能隨便錯過。葛蕾絲自我介紹：「我叫葛蕾絲，你呢？」633Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡClHTpuFfcO
633Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf1oaOJrIVP
「『高宇維』。」灰眼睛的人停頓一秒，又說一次：「妳可以叫我高宇維。」633Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx3ToOGVY7C
633Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTrgmimUu14
猶如平行線的兄妹，竟然因為高宇維出現交點。高宇維邀請葛蕾絲：「交誼廳離這不遠，要不要陪我聊聊？」633Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhlhDJDA37v
633Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR8RsnaCxwk
「你的飲料……」633Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhq7zsyEzfk
633Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBh3Wt6AW3p
「十五杯都是我的。」633Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpKYhRgYofE
633Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsjTLX3DAac
葛蕾絲一愣，「你一個人喝十五杯？」633Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKZQJnNwBmH
633Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHf4FuXosWX
高宇維不覺得奇怪，「走吧，我們去吹冷氣。」633Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkddG6o7kY3
633Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxJV1Ecaahb
說完，高宇維帶葛蕾絲，來到擺著沙發，還有一整面落地窗的交誼廳。他們挑一張沙發坐下，高宇維拿出吸管開喝，也分一杯給葛蕾絲。633Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9WXliiAyuv
633Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6T4TsvuRME
「謝啦。」633Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb0ULANEWZV
633Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0qQjpTgyvo
葛蕾絲舒服地靠著沙發。剛下班，她確實需要放鬆，沙發冷氣飲料，簡直絕配。633Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDcbVLZGgaM
633Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYC9nOOysNS
「里奧今天課很滿，應該沒空過來。」高宇維喝著紅茶說。633Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0rUhBeOyBT
633Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJiMVx9byIG
「你們怎麼認識的？」葛蕾絲忍不住問。633Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHS5BW9jyB1
633Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDJyom9MKPI
「一堂無聊的通識課，和一份無聊的分組報告。」高宇維回想，「報告題目是……我忘了，好像和在地文化有關。我們去台中實地考察，莫名其妙就混熟了。」633Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡou8Pyrh6YE
633Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyvyECS77r1
里奧跟人旅行的畫面……葛蕾絲好難想像。他哥哥左看右看，都不像有趣的旅伴。633Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMDWCDMcLRv
633Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmIobUoXCF0
「他很常提到妳。」633Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx97gI8iPr9
633Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgymezyyOOI
高宇維突然迸出一句。葛蕾絲滿頭問號，「啊？」633Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5A2onyM5CO
633Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNQoqvilreS
「我們在台中吃了很多甜食，蛋糕、蛋捲、蛋塔……之類的。」高宇維說：「每吃一種，他的回饋都是『我妹做的比較好吃』。」633Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFR0GF2xdS9
633Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjkgWxnougr
「……！」633Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8yKv9mNqrX
633Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO2InInIYGG
葛蕾絲睜大眼睛。不僅如此，高宇維還說：「看到健身房的專業教練，他也說『我妹比較厲害』、『我妹是全國冠軍』。」633Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw2NkkPFhJo
633Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy2w3oqb1Sf
「……。」633Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJJwBNlYjbg
633Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm0S4KeaCaz
「去很多地方、遇到任何狀況，他的開頭都是那幾句。」高宇維細數：「『這個我妹做過』、『這個我妹很擅長』、『我妹做的比較好』、『我妹一定知道怎麼辦』……他覺得妳很厲害。某種層面上，他其實很依賴妳。」633Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGUoBA0eD2A
633Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4vp9tsx6p2
「……。」633Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡagY7jKhPC3
633Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡubRYeYYOcG
葛蕾絲驚訝到說不出話。633Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcqw0CNNlUC
633Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCEH4TJoNwz
他的哥哥──那個很少講話、面無表情、各方面都很優秀的哥哥，竟然覺得她很厲害。633Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡelDM9VYdlp
633Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLAYebsAKHX
「我們幾乎不交談。」葛蕾絲感到愧疚，「『為什麼妳哥可以，妳就不行？』我爸的起手式都是這句。」633Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv0eKgWJlUc
633Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡut5gwym56U
「嗯，他知道。」高宇維正在喝第二杯，「他以為妳討厭他。」633Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6hY1192i0B
633Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkzYaDA2GYk
「我沒有。」葛蕾絲澄清：「我們只是不熟，我也以為他瞧不起我。」633Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKusG2yJ7Uj
633Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi9w7BVvhKD
「沒這回事。」高宇維微笑，「他不擅長開話題。如果妳主動跟他說話，他會很高興。」633Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡluf1B5eebe
633Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWrSAcsIX0G
葛蕾絲瞄了眼高宇維。這人雖然一臉沒睡飽，卻散發一股神秘的、古典的氣質。能跟里奧當朋友，果然不是凡人。633Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWzvUsFhFnI
633Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqmOdiOCRzD
閒話家常後，葛蕾絲和高宇維道別，一個人騎著摩托車。父親不在家，里奧在學校，葛蕾絲幫自己做了頓晚餐；但不到九點，她又餓了，正思考要煮什麼來吃，大門開啟，里奧背著書包走進來，兩人對上視線。633Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhnIllorMSF
633Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe8JMPVjbjl
「……。」633Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1QPXEs47Ad
633Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbTagVRpXQR
里奧和平常一樣，很快就把視線移開。葛蕾絲主動問：「你有吃晚餐嗎？」633Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvRHVy7itrw
633Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOTZcfucJ2U
里奧微愣。他回頭，葛蕾絲把好不容易留長的頭髮紮起來，走向流理臺。633Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP3EMi4VvCM
633Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI5Dzz3DibB
「我要煮宵夜。」葛蕾絲問：「你要吃嗎？」633Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS6KTdgU0m6
633Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcH4RidvkTM
「要。」里奧一秒回答，還點餐：「拉麵。」633Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ01pSFurvVs
633Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9HIAcUAJpY
「好啦好啦。」633Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyAXuCpx1DW
633Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcNlMmHYqxQ
葛蕾絲的動作很快，沒多久，兩碗足以登上美食雜誌的拉麵被端上桌。他們久違坐在一起吃飯，儘管里奧還是一號表情，但葛蕾絲感覺得出，他哥哥心情不錯。633Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsZBBMjyElX
633Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3spcxVIP0h
「我今天遇到你朋友。」633Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ7NmKDfStw
633Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwSUIHptUfc
葛蕾絲負責開話題。里奧問她：「誰？」633Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsGOv11E7ap
633Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1QLZ1DqaqO
「你不是只有一個朋友？」633Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeyOzenPuNy
633Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIp4XO4uS4M
葛蕾絲這話是無心的，但里奧聽了很受傷，澄清：「還有小提琴社的。」633Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVgdGRaTggs
633Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMT4dbcqxWv
葛蕾絲笑了笑，「名字是高宇維，一個人叫了十五杯飲料。」633Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcl15qciH0t
633Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUrlhfGTGPG
里奧翻白眼。葛蕾絲覺得好有趣，原來哥哥有這種表情。633Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmIRFz5lMfb
633Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZOgoI6lNIp
「他每天都這樣。」里奧一臉無奈，「講也講不聽。」633Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ12RiN1IJID
633Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2sRJNEA6W3
「每天！？」葛蕾絲驚呼：「不會得糖尿病嗎？」633Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgZCxqfc33Y
633Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSVTzMNmcBF
「……如果可以，他早就得了。」633Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyz6AVDu41F
633Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0dOESJFwHN
葛蕾絲正要問什麼意思，里奧突然說：「妳不覺得他很像巨嬰嗎？」633Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5IFI8loXn6
633Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCIS6lUMO2n
「巨嬰？？？」葛蕾絲滿頭問號。633Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEhOt6vAppv
633Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9KCPYimnfF
「我跟他去台中，如果沒抓好，他會被夜市的人潮沖走。」里奧細數高宇維的荒謬事跡：「解不開打結的耳機、找不到公車站牌、衣服裡外穿反、吃不出貢丸和魚丸的差別……他能活這麼大，簡直是奇蹟。」633Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡziFXIURkgE
633Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZsQg9Fr275
「哈哈哈！」633Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3A2x1UZKTZ
633Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡolr8EAshVS
高宇維的奇葩行徑，加上里奧的口氣和表情，葛蕾絲忍不住大笑。能當里奧的朋友，高宇維果然不是凡人。633Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLwQKSuuj3w
633Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3tnYfW2V2x
和里奧一起吃飯，葛蕾絲發現：拋開無意義的顧慮後，她能用一種自在的方式和哥哥相處。里奧沒有想像中冷淡，和葛蕾絲一起時很放鬆，因為妹妹什麼都會──確實，某種層面上，他很依賴葛蕾絲。633Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUsSXpdlP70
633Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWG5Sx8VA45
「你最近有看到老爸嗎？」633Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe6Xp58ic9s
633Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVcQskt6470
餐後，里奧幫忙洗碗，葛蕾絲問起阿道夫的事。633Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz8MP3HgPOm
633Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf1rhA8vZiv
「沒有。」里奧表示：「他似乎很忙。」633Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT7Z4YMcAL0
633Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfxKIB9WfVA
「忙到不用回家？已經兩個禮拜了耶！」633Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6poVh3fDVo
633Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkFhPsZHmyD
葛蕾絲一說，洗好碗的里奧微愣，反問葛蕾絲：「這麼久？」633Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyyq89vQAC3
633Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYqJfTzPJgg
「我前陣子都晚班。打烊後，我去夜市晃三圈、買東西吃，再加上洗澡、吹頭髮、滑手機……每天三點睡覺，我也沒見他回來。」葛蕾絲說：「我以為他白天會回家，晚上才出門。」633Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcoLd7yIdzN
633Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpN79pMcyAV
「不，我白天也沒看到他。」里奧說：「我以為他晚上回家，白天出門。」633Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw8kyfcuIyT
633Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2QzxmcLBLo
雖然稱不上感情好，但對方是父親，他們或多或少會擔心。633Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡImZxHn7lkN
633Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLwmAKz4UFz
「依他那種性子，在路上被學生蓋布袋，也不是不可能。」葛蕾絲說。633Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRXka4nKuvm
633Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFcfqExwjQg
「就算是，他也不會輸，爸可是跆拳道黑帶。」633Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlo8rPzUqpV
633Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUdZUEJITuN
他們試著聯絡，手機卻顯示通話失敗，訊息也都未讀。為了找線索，里奧和葛蕾絲來到父親的書房，葛蕾絲打開阿道夫的電腦，她不知道密碼，但思考三秒、輸入一串數字，竟然成功解鎖，里奧覺得不可思議。633Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxq6qxR154t
633Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3IpfvZc5YG
「妳怎麼知道？」里奧問。633Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2YToMrgRyD
633Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOuBfUhT61Q
「他這麼自戀，又懶得記這些東西，密碼一定是他考上哈佛那天，我太了解他了。」633Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiORzs0p4aL
633Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE7OMthSeGX
葛蕾絲點開阿道夫的信箱，收件匣很正常，但機靈的葛蕾絲點開「垃圾桶」，發現一封主旨奇怪的信件，寄件人寫著沒看過的名字：白絃。633Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiHOWuyH3Ro
633Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDT7Q6gbV8J
「『奎茵博士（Dr. Quinn）的遺願』……這是什麼？」633Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4r9fGTtInp
633Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvnm8grLw0H
兄妹倆互看一眼，隨後，葛蕾絲點開郵件。看完內容，里奧瞪大雙眼，難得露出緊張的表情，跟葛蕾絲說：「車借我，宇維有危險！」633Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSLIdGHP3lE
633Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPK3YGOEHMC
「……！？」633Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbYjMGpgAyC
633Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWNktww360o
雖然看不懂信件內容，但里奧這麼慌張，葛蕾絲知道事情不簡單，起身表示：「我也要去！」633Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡytcezhpp0N
633Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡADKv5C3lKb

里奧只猶豫一秒，隨後，他示意葛蕾絲跟上。兩人衝向電梯、直奔停車場，忘記關掉阿道夫的電腦，螢幕停在郵件內容，上面寫著：633Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMgxHDcotsP

您好，我是奎茵博士的研究助理，我叫作白絃。633Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW1YzcfRGEO
很遺憾，如主旨所述，奎茵博士已經去世。博士曾經交代：如果她來不及完成，希望您能接手她的水果塔實驗。633Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmeVOXQNq8F
然而，我根據博士留下的資料，已經獨自完成實驗，成功創造了「艾莉絲」。有關艾莉絲的後續研究，我獨自一人無法完成，希望能得到您的協助。633Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡELZY4iarbA
另外，我無法掌握一些水果塔的動向。紅心傑克、睡鼠、書蟲、瘋帽、笑臉、黛娜、三月兔──如果您有以上七位水果塔的消息，再麻煩您告訴我，我會將他們帶回艾莉絲身邊。633Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡljnPGI2slS
附件是我的聯絡方式，期待收到您的回覆，謝謝。633Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbDbhPxTSKV
