「妳考這什麼分數！？」564Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOWglDl48eR
564Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRBFEbrGJzC
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。564Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWLf2BcHM39
564Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdzDMFvW9qW
「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！」564Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡINCxu7zvDy
564Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiy6klyR060
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。564Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7aj6ZzTFln
564Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1szkJ9u1qK
「洛杉磯才不會用那些字。」564Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwK386p86hp
564Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv0D7YE1u5l
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。564Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH9bMz9FTOk
564Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWVOaaVvgD0
「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！」564Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgmFpv1elEJ
564Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgLbXIffN7a
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！」564Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwCpziTqwm9
564Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMElCuBaSES
「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！」564Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxRHcaKHPK3
564Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlzfyQLaQMR
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。564Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo8x6bmYBHU
564Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzQ5qpq8RtJ
「讀書讀書讀書……除了拿我跟哥哥比較，那老頭還會幹什麼！」564Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFf2g4lRq6T
564Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPchChYZq7d
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。564Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2TFExZUXyF
564Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5TEjIHITJv
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。564Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYY9iHy6vvJ
564Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAyWALXSylj
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。564Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2XnYgqUVNn
564Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZjCZaFrPHL
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。564Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡELvvEXCVN5
564Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUdiYjd3R7u
「叩叩。」564Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj1LvcrP8PW
564Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLQyUyTQ6bJ
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。564Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE8INMFBbRV
564Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpo4lDTEXTp
「幹嘛？」564Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWIs2VGKMrb
564Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmBKp96vJm4
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。564Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVNSzcluzWd
564Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIUq4H41wTC
「妳在做什麼？」564Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡplW9ktzkHy
564Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVNp1XbvSXG
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。564Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4o22TRJwE3
564Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7yysZNSlNz
「我房間缺一個櫃子。」葛蕾絲再問一次：「你幹嘛？」564Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhyzcwrqnh2
564Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOzaeGnc88T
瞄了眼房裡的半成品，里奧告訴她：「聲音很大，我在念書。」564Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH28D1h75wz
564Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5RiTvVqWiz
想起剛才和父親的對話，葛蕾絲莫名火大。564Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkuAS5sBmeI
564Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6dxAsl5lrf
「你不是有耳機？」564Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9DOGureBxC

「……。」564Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg3Tl7eQ9fy
564Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSxeYiBZJik
「這些工具就是這樣，會發出聲音，很吵。」564Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoryI18EDaV
564Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxSuO4t7krs
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。564Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ22HthyaYx
564Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3lYRYhR7w7
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。564Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6GFwyzXzHw
564Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnwdsG4cat0
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。564Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6YihfoBs7L
564Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqGBfmoLaDz
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。564Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ35vzj6JnlC
564Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5OJalgpwQA
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。564Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgmNwVIezub

564Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmiMvahb2cB
564Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhY1lKjlVcG
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。564Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOUqaqAry0f
564Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkq5JUxqNLb
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。564Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7y8ECEIorg
564Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡztIKwSyyNP
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。564Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtoMUDYsyyV
564Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkIozhohvm0
「久等了，你的十五杯飲料。」564Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwiLnZnVlV8
564Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ87iP5n2jxp
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。564Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV7UcyGhwvl
564Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6VR9dKTDaM
「謝謝。」564Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEJk75e6yNY
564Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNgd6G8ACmK
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？」564Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBWeHe6u2KJ
564Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5vvKoCgZPy
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。564Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXctZoPzU67
564Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzRn6EV7SAj
「妳是里奧的妹妹嗎？」564Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡToqzw8vPN7
564Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgTy3JwgOkY
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。564Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2hvgMEyNHy
564Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5zFKMoYD7O
「你認識我哥？」葛蕾絲沒有否認，反問對方。564Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGagM0TC0EX
564Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUwownXGfIr
「嗯。」灰眼睛的人點頭，「他是我朋友。」564Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMPNA2WTpNr
564Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiBRDlaoKSt
「他有朋友……！」564Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhnn24KL6Zj
564Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsMa2emTQ85
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。」564Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEQ0KUopBdl
564Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB1e6BAcCNC
「除了頭髮顏色，我們沒有一個地方像。」564Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKWRqWgSAHM
564Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3H0TdUyEiv
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？」564Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4MPG2sqcCg
564Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH2UHNp5hDl
「『高宇維』。」灰眼睛的人停頓一秒，又說一次：「妳可以叫我高宇維。」564Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnVn9mK8HDa
564Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgd3flhx9jt
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？」564Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXIjxsryedE
564Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9j4SKLX5p0
「你的飲料……」564Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2sLuv9Xemq
564Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZjwPmupzXy
「十五杯都是我的。」564Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQy3mCAkbis
564Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbcObFsMxaU
葛蕾絲一愣，「你一個人喝十五杯？」564Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxxQBHsnojE
564Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5t7q7sYkUV
高宇維不覺得奇怪，「走吧，我們去吹冷氣。」564Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUTHsxMTXMR
564Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVzO4WW8iuT
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。564Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEM2FLKacs9
564Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLVVkPKtdwO
「謝啦。」564Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0e6Lnx3uCU
564Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxPE9HxqkWR
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。564Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnxUhFWytC8
564Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoy1aFZWHxh
「里奧今天課很滿，應該沒空過來。」高宇維喝著紅茶說。564Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAcuWaCEXNz
564Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWi9IkMynfJ
「你們怎麼認識的？」葛蕾絲忍不住問。564Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlV7HiS60Ss
564Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqBAVwBX2GZ
「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。」564Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK7B6fM5qE5
564Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYj67i2fZoe
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。564Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPZRp6vkKN9
564Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMHgT8igsBt
「他很常提到妳。」564Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXuZCj7DS8J
564Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBfEte0srxW
高宇維突然迸出一句。葛蕾絲滿頭問號，「啊？」564Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0jK6cYHbd2
564Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHN2jx4vQ8P
「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』。」564Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn2KpF30iCQ
564Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1jeuUJo5rV
「……！」564Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrQdrK53RdY
564Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡePQ5A9071E
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』。」564Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsWUeSx8ZCT
564Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY2YsmRRVc2
「……。」564Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxpKa6CdcGV
564Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNtli0GQbn8
「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。」564Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWydOOzBNUU

「……。」564Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4QLtV1hIrr
564Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ19SpzR1AJn
葛蕾絲驚訝到說不出話。564Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhiE2mnuJeA
564Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXFyyGeH46Z
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。564Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfJVcAJgB1r
564Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWMNjCNq3sw
「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。」564Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwd2TOB4PFx
564Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNlMRJcTsmf
「嗯，他知道。」高宇維正在喝第二杯，「他以為妳討厭他。」564Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8yPE1npgNY
564Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCWKa0x8trz
「我沒有。」葛蕾絲澄清：「我們只是不熟，我也以為他瞧不起我。」564Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ315AquPsns
564Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkYkRtqaAHX
「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。」564Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTOHEI3xki2
564Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsLt2QXuICE
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。564Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡESZo56TCuI
564Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHrnooTOsMX
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。564Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ12tYNErBE0
564Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxejnUv12Pg
「……。」564Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkxEG8luCRD
564Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPDOhfDD0oI
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？」564Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ37gc6WVO4X
564Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvEFMa1ZAq7
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。564Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxP0gwheRpk
564Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHZplSWDBXf
「我要煮宵夜。」葛蕾絲問：「你要吃嗎？」564Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY3gWkVaDQf
564Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFQm8bvIHWX
「要。」里奧一秒回答，還點餐：「拉麵。」564Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEykpGYwJnj
564Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkE3uy8F6LU
「好啦好啦。」564Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfhQckidmoS
564Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkM64tInmM8
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。564Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtNtLEqeZN1
564Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡreZi0EU9H2
「我今天遇到你朋友。」564Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2XHBW5M0P5
564Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbYIUdLq7vG
葛蕾絲負責開話題。里奧問她：「誰？」564Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg61LZDiMI1
564Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWi6aX1eTX8
「你不是只有一個朋友？」564Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP90IS26dhL
564Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGZEUbmuruz
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。」564Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOgOfIPMCMk
564Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvwKDGAnthX
葛蕾絲笑了笑，「名字是高宇維，一個人叫了十五杯飲料。」564Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2NqTjYgDra
564Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNptsJtRVSk
里奧翻白眼。葛蕾絲覺得好有趣，原來哥哥有這種表情。564Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpYxmuSzXy8
564Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8qKbfDkJGl
「他每天都這樣。」里奧一臉無奈，「講也講不聽。」564Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl3rVA8KJQd
564Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm041DWEvYs
「每天！？」葛蕾絲驚呼：「不會得糖尿病嗎？」564Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhxJ9lBrslx
564Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfD4I16hw2r
「……如果可以，他早就得了。」564Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyIrT0Ou8Qz
564Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD4Ri3jTUMG
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？」564Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3aRSP0tnod
564Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ2Wr6lIua4
「巨嬰？？？」葛蕾絲滿頭問號。564Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW6Bbe085hJ
564Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2YDJw10Mv6
「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。」564Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNHctObWGzH
564Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtAXvy3xxET
「哈哈哈！」564Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGOFaftAFSS
564Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLsLyeDSJos
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。564Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlKM50NBGl0
564Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaJCklryvqF
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。564Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnW3y0GR4WH
564Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBgWEF3PWqx
「你最近有看到老爸嗎？」564Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7gGOG0Sywe
564Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxEv2skF0tL
餐後，里奧幫忙洗碗，葛蕾絲問起阿道夫的事。564Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAXwKlyPbub
564Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtyBIA4cMxD
「沒有。」里奧表示：「他似乎很忙。」564Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjUpu28fl4d
564Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHOWsZP2W19
「忙到不用回家？已經兩個禮拜了耶！」564Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡULMXcFq5p2
564Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5PlZDc8hUn
葛蕾絲一說，洗好碗的里奧微愣，反問葛蕾絲：「這麼久？」564Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl9kop0QdIK
564Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ21pyKBpGq2
「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。」564Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr1GwP8c18z
564Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDvqB1fbINn
「不，我白天也沒看到他。」里奧說：「我以為他晚上回家，白天出門。」564Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjVSCCtTWAO

雖然稱不上感情好，但對方是父親，他們或多或少會擔心。564Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj4CJzy1i3b
564Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡySmeEGURTf
「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。564Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHtkPC8SZRH

「就算是，他也不會輸，爸可是跆拳道黑帶。」564Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfKdiJ3B5fu
564Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjHAF4uBpI7
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。564Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHo09Ha5ol1
564Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSaEiyiJHgH
「妳怎麼知道？」里奧問。564Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLQcibllQIf
564Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlbscrfSBbt
「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。」564Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡws0rIPLlJi
564Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDbM7bk5TkH
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。564Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqlHXICezmb

「『奎茵博士（Dr. Quinn）的遺願』……這是什麼？」564Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWuUlilG9D3
564Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyy2oIZbJ8q
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！」564Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX4e5KdxRyo
564Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS6DbNwzBbg
「……！？」564Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAq9B21tC2G

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：564Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsNuyzCYtL7

您好，我是奎茵博士的研究助理，我叫作白絃。564Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7ZaZNda8SW
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。564Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡynt8Lq8NXH
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。564Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqEQAGXkd07
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。564Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzvUzp6z2ui
附件是我的聯絡方式，期待收到您的回覆，謝謝。564Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcAo0A00ARS
