夜晚的雪靜靜落下，將整座城市覆上一層柔白。66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2dRg5a8Hqu
這是一場突如其來的雪，並不在天氣預報裡。地上的積雪尚淺，卻已足夠讓街燈的光折射出淡淡的銀輝。66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRQpk8Zd5iE
66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ88RiXO8Vkf
微瀾踩在雪地上，靜靜地走著，腳步放得很慢。66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoGLOY4QrJC
66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKgeYmL2wYd
她回來，已經快兩年了。66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeAIJDmUDw5
這段時間，她適應了新的研究環境，也重新融入這座城市的節奏。66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIYIoO62gJM
而她再次見到許墨，則是半年前的事。66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2vF0tBkSwk
66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9L0hPycitq
這半年多來，他們並非完全沒有聯繫，偶爾會因為工作碰面，或者在學術會議上短暫交談。66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSKGYgeupSr
但他從未強求，也從未催促。66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWFuxlG91qo
66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYSi8livQTi
就像現在，這是許墨第一次正式約她吃飯。66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8KQGuPjBOh
66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpd5AnOdVTE
沒有刻意選擇什麼特別的地方，也沒有安排複雜的行程。66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkSRrAQGXQx
他只是簡單地說：「一起吃晚餐吧。」66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsh00Kewyvz
66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMH8GWzNmzZ
就像過去無數個夜晚，他們結束一天的工作後，隨意挑間店坐下，像普通的戀人一樣，度過一個再平常不過的夜晚。66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl0rXwyIAl9
66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNhyjzJ5nZs
但他們都知道，這次不同。66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLNevJAhm8w
66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9t6uaMv3Sj
晚餐後，許墨沒有急著送她回去，而是提議散步。66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGSBGkMCA7w
微瀾沒有拒絕，就這樣跟著他，走過熟悉的街道，走進這場未曾預料的雪夜。66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW89ZWsFzoK
66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9n7CokH2Zu
「有點冷。」微瀾輕輕呼出一口氣，看著白霧在空氣裡散開。66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBkqL75FiMn
66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡheN06hPtem
許墨微微側過身，視線落在她微微蜷縮的指尖。66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2vA1W8mSaL
他沒有說話，只是順勢將自己的圍巾解下，輕輕地替她圍上。66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaOIHKGxADV
66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUEyIKg9xIp
「……你不冷？」微瀾偏頭看向他。66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzcksWJIrIR
66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkwVmyDf0kb
「還好。」他的語氣平靜，語速一如往常，卻帶著一絲淡淡的柔和。66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBxPCy5NnPM
66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3ehaEJnhIt
微瀾沒有再說什麼，輕輕地拉了拉圍巾的邊角，感受著上面殘留的些許體溫。66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVfbr9LOwpI
66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ26g13xE2De
這是一種陌生的親密感，像是過去，卻又比過去更接近，近到讓人無法忽視。66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUtzsLSWhha
66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsBmvLrWIdQ
許墨側過頭，看著她低垂的側臉，輕聲道：「這是妳回來後，第一次和我這樣散步。」66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdH67RezIvg
66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrbbbrwTE2L
微瀾頓了一下，沒有否認。66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX4BEcr1MFh
66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSsU2xlhBNn
畢竟重逢後，他們一直維持著微妙的距離，既不疏遠，卻也不曾像現在這樣走在一起。66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSrkBrqYCIT
許墨沒有催促她，也沒有刻意去製造「再一次」的開始。66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG9Cs3x37Zd
66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhUXGqKsbxL
他就只是……陪著她。66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ39eZ5LzDrP
讓她慢慢地去適應，慢慢地去思考，甚至——慢慢地去決定。66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuN6y5zZE7l
66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4sCHmsMf0X
這樣的許墨，是過去從未有過的。66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNgu4lVsnM2
66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTL6bXAjfkp
66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOEL8zAkX6o
「那天在機場，」他忽然低聲道，「我其實一直在等。」66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9U7jODozpc
66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqc6M3flxvE
「等什麼？」微瀾輕輕側過頭。66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZr6Hzo1keD
66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡetoky6zKz6
「等妳帶著行李來找我。」他的語氣淡淡的，像是在陳述一件已成過去的事，「但妳沒帶。」66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfQ0Oe4pge3
66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3mHui6e92V
微瀾微微睜大眼，指尖無意識地收緊了一瞬。66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPNDOSJHJfY
66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlzATjrQDOq
「其實那天，當我看到妳空著手走來時，」許墨頓了一下，嘴角泛起一絲極淺的苦澀笑意，「我有一瞬間……想問妳是不是來告別的。」66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHc34dyOlep
66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzndZxVE4Fz
「……」微瀾低下頭，心裡莫名泛起一絲悶痛。66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN85KewdeJO
66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVmrcqvD2GM
她當時確實沒有想太多，甚至沒有意識到，自己空著手走進機場，對許墨來說意味著什麼。66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9ig8SMJLeg
因為她當時的確還沒有決定——66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0uVbzr8uaX
她還不確定，她是否準備好，再次選擇他。66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhIpC42BZZV
66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6TLjaQSNBC
「但後來呢？」她低聲問，「你還是沒有問。」66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdtqYoxykga
66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXfJNLfLMcU
「因為妳來了。」許墨語氣輕柔，眼底浮現一抹淡淡的溫暖，「所以，不管是什麼答案，我都願意等。」66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu4fFo7i0Cn
66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlTZXbhnmsL
微瀾的指尖微微顫了一下。66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSSG6Gqx3Yq
66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN9kThItKl1
這次的許墨，真的不同了。66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCbrBHO9R6F
過去的他，習慣掌控所有變數，習慣在所有選擇裡找到「最優解」，但現在的他，卻能夠接受「未知」，甚至願意把選擇權完全交到她手上。66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtonIRI9eij
66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh9PSfY3arQ
她忽然覺得，心底某個角落被輕輕觸動了。66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwxoFQW3Ztw
——這樣的他，是她曾經不敢奢求的。66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3hmQ8u4Rxu
66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDOuCGz55AH
她深吸了一口氣，停下腳步。66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcASygJn4lj
66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMK5LkTH1qV
「許墨。」66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPOau45YB1X
66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl0lkrZA7Sk
他也隨之停下，看著她微微抬起頭，對上他的視線。66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCqCZCeLFuO
66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4S278cJxCQ
「如果……」她的聲音輕得像是怕驚擾了什麼，「如果我說，我選擇你——」66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHMOjqR58V5
66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgaRWHxnHHz
她的話還沒說完，許墨的瞳孔微微一縮，下一秒，他已經猛然站起，將她緊緊擁入懷裡。66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGU9QjBEJzf
66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVuGupwZLBz
許墨的手指緊扣著她的背，指節微微泛白，像是要將她刻進生命裡。66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjwr234k8E1
他的呼吸微微顫抖，像是在壓抑某種深埋已久的情緒。66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfHgiZrjWlV
66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKqEoFMUQU2
那個力道，幾乎能將她完全鎖進他的世界裡。66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFXVPtOsGuK
66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhE9XNEtGM7
微瀾怔了一瞬，還沒來得及反應，便感覺到他的手緊緊地摟住了她，像是要確認她真真切切地站在這裡，而不是他一場過於美好的夢。66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi08OclT8CE
66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE5lGQHmNfm
「微瀾……」他的聲音低啞，帶著極力壓抑的顫抖，「我等這句話，等了太久。」66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoje9UFISwP
66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCB0Phc2Kow
她沒有問他「還願不願意」。66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9eQ3RyjBgJ
66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD9X1dgMu0X
因為她知道，這個問題根本不需要問。66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0tayYFSrGt
66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs83b3n7mDy
他沒有變過，從頭到尾，唯一在變的，只有她的選擇。66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBt8wiY720S
66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXZysjMZLY9
但這一次，是她真正選擇他。66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSXl8abetOv
66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwHBDFA5kfq
微瀾感受到他懷抱的顫抖，終於，緩緩地，抬手回抱住他。66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWefADMy3M8
66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVLjtpWqTdO
夜裡的雪仍在靜靜地落下，覆蓋住他們的腳印，像是將過去所有的遺憾，埋進這片純白之中。66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw8vWV1FpGo
