「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。368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4E14z0MSpm

「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。368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqcietWWE67

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。368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIf5nSlXxrd

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……368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTXJNaFGV3d

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。」368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡurWzYSQVRo

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。」368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXq0QKRnIzw

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。」368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxTwvhU1OhE
368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMtWpGtSnkv
368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡboz8qnQVFs
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。368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbgCxoxu77W

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……368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcFKgTnHQA1

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。368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXvUHoITHE7

368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOTFZcv8C4L
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。368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf3KMUNeWIm

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……368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMexKVquEZe

Alice媽媽聲音有點震顫：「我……我……有看錯嗎？還是……我們去錯了地方……」368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf5539Gs1c6
368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEb3eSi67NF

368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ60UztX7LIr
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。368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1KGD9IPc9y

姑媽一看到Alice一家進場，視線迎上，就馬上走向他們。368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMIn8kMVF72

368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAm7bvPrB9d
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。368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwiiemvgbgV
368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4w1lBGkb7F
368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD0yQ4awKRx
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？」368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn16tVtATiy
368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPatI0S3SGH
368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc5dEnz8gm8
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。368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjjiiOeo1nB

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。368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtLvWonCIRD
368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlJwni25V5I
368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo68EmuVkAb
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。368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0l0IZ3kPWl

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。368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡno7HvdAnAu
368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpnvEUBHMku
368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBa23AL34b0
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。」368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBGxEgBuu33

368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9taAf6yMzb
368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8ew4bBZyEf
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？」368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7yQskSLbd1
368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6QLUtq7IdT
368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbhhsdawI0H
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。368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQfcnnohak4
368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdJNOmsB758
368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxDhhyt2fTL
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。」368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAHpWkLANlI
368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy7xPXgQTh4
368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1kiFx0x8pg

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。」368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8vs3F5WcHY

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。」368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2Sd14iUckw
