又是一年的三月，春來時，梅雨季也隨之而來。33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvtAMRhtGHZ
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsZaqbMuAMV
「呼……」33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOWtkKVO6Q0
微瀾撐著傘，站在研究所外，看著眼前這座曾經見證過心動與心碎的建築，心底莫名泛起一絲複雜的情緒。33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHYXKPUiDhI
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ64g8DaM44f
這裡，是她曾經努力融入的世界，33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡykl7sb0SY1
也是她曾經選擇離開的地方。33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhpULbJnfzm
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡszMdopB0ZZ
這一年來，她以外部人員的身份協助研究計畫，始終沒有真正「回來」。前陣子，蘇硯問她，是否願意正式接下研究員的職位。33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHEp7znDqAM
她想了想，最後，還是答應了。33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0zCYSCb1ZW
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVDOxEhgIPD
今天，就是她正式加入的第一天。33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv9XJci92GT
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKxhRxSyVrp
「……這比研究所面試還令人緊張。」她低聲嘀咕著，手指輕輕扣了扣傘柄。33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwnWhklMCe5
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDlP1ZOen3m
她已經適應了學術環境，也確定了自己想要走的路，但當她真正要踏入這個地方時，心裡的緊張感卻還是不可避免地浮現出來。33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7RmI0HO7sj
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9GoVC80NXz
幸好，蘇硯的團隊氣氛與他本人並無二致——33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGrUeq8LE0N
溫暖且熱情。33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9lxHEbWJWr
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBgVrfvH7jE
這個地方，不再讓她感到陌生與不安。33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNijc7AmfWX
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhzYP4auyFd
她微微一笑，深吸了一口氣，然後邁步向前，伸手推開了研究所的大門。33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQHFomy4S0Z
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRxi6zYpEmZ
「哎，學妹來啦？」33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyapSt87bIB
熟悉的聲音自前方傳來，微瀾抬起頭，便看到蘇硯正懶洋洋地倚著門框，手裡捧著一杯咖啡，像是在等她。33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzaqkeyOXWL
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEYETyepNc2
「學長，」她無奈地笑了笑，「你什麼時候改負責迎賓了？」33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfUjvKFy2pR
「這可不是迎賓，是怕妳站在門口太久，乾脆過來看看。」蘇硯喝了一口咖啡，瞥了她一眼，33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlFfnOc4C00
「更何況…妳能算『賓』嘛。」33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfh6krDIXkf
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhwwiLoWQqN
「……學長，你是不是期望我現在轉頭就走？」33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGTwYdhKDV1
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTsRsNX0GrU
「怎麼？要不要回頭？現在還來得及喔。」33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6lgccEIIBM
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAOOgtlzKkT
「……你覺得我會嗎？」33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4g0Z0G7ZE9
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFyKVwiJdfB
「不會。」蘇硯聳了聳肩，嘴角勾起一抹笑意，「但還是想看看妳會不會，又『臨陣脫逃』。」33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡflwBaga3rk
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5AajTuWVh5
微瀾無語地翻了個白眼，「學長…現在教授都像你這麼閒嗎？」33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHxEN4hO6RM
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsJq1ttgzjP
「不閒啊，」蘇硯理所當然地說，「但來損妳幾句還是有點時間的。」33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡimqeccY37X
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAyiuKgMLNI
話落，他將一張訪客識別證遞給她，「今天先拿這個，之後辦好正式的就能進出了。」33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3rC36EsSGO
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBkYTAUYpHM
微瀾接過識別證，別在腰間，便跟著蘇硯走進去。33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4nLuVwpSRa
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmKN8juuos3
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjHrAs0fnWI
「走吧，該來認識一下你的新同事了。」33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrnbRWl1M2M
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9j3HkXvaUJ
這裡的環境與微瀾記憶中的相差不遠，走廊的燈光依舊柔和，辦公區的擺設依舊井然有序，空氣裡還帶著些許咖啡與打印紙張的味道——這曾經是她最熟悉的氣息。33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhbCj6N2AUo
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgIXB2CBdAo
但她知道，這裡的她，已經和三年前的自己不一樣了。33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcDB4s3LgGv
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfDEW9dBvLa
「前面這區是資料室，你的辦公桌就在那邊，旁邊還空了一個位子，方便你放研究設備。」33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU7fEKH66Dp
蘇硯邊走邊解釋，隨手推開了一道門。33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeCZJ47Vsh1
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9UIFb8ubdt
「進去吧，大家應該都在——」33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ53Jb5tBcgi
門一開，研究員們的視線齊刷刷地轉向門口，微瀾一時間還有些不習慣這樣的目光，微微頓了一下。33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbp6wgAer9n
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbKnorlrppn
「哦哦！學長說的新人來了？」33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTUtRXRrwQF
「是蘇教授的學妹吧？聽說在國外做了不少研究！」33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHymoitk4Vs
「妳好！歡迎加入我們！」33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHTMSE9d0Ls
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5MY0vOF0Gk
微瀾還沒來得及說話，已經有人熱情地迎上來。33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPmOheMJfDw
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNDh9fpBl0B
她愣了愣，旋即微笑點頭：「大家好，我是微瀾，請多指教。」33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡngaPkmuHYT
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPZmDU4pv9y
與她想像中不同，研究所的環境並沒有帶給她強烈的壓迫感，反而讓她有種難得的放鬆感。33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRvd4Gq0J4w
她終於明白，這是因為——這一次，她是帶著選擇回來的，這裡，才是她想要的歸屬。33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaPHtlNNepo
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNpm5tmg2g4
「對了，等等蘇教授會帶妳熟悉幾個合作部門，尤其是……」33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsI9KgDyGKf
「許教授那邊吧？」33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzd8GMZh6Ak
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ62SLdttAsx
有人笑著接話：「畢竟未來很多研究案都會跟他那組對接。」33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRP71U36TQI
微瀾正翻著資料的手微微一頓。33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcYcPcUNnmx
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyRn92dpWlV
「啊，學妹你該不會還沒見過許教授吧？」33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡneVz5ruhTt
「你們說……許墨？」33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfygRReL4gU
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkQpdQBRpcC
微瀾低聲問，語氣雖然穩定，指尖卻輕輕收緊了一些。33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfGidjoPtWh
「對啊，他這幾年帶的計畫挺多的，最近幾次的交叉合作，他們那組都在負責。」33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8Cplzu3qvl
有人順口回應，沒注意到她的細微變化。33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5ZvFNPwVoJ
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1PjqQfSdti
「嗯……」微瀾垂下眼，輕輕摩挲著手中的筆。33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWJJq3cCUm9
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDvCPWJ3FYC
這一刻，她知道——她終究還是要與他碰面的。33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBGuDHj1BhR
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWJfd735YoT
只是，這一次，主動選擇的人，是她。33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfcAPiVvsYf
