又是一年的三月，春來時，梅雨季也隨之而來。36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjDB2KqbSgi
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtd92yj7nLH
「呼……」36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2PMMOPLDAF
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。36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2xDyCUaKY0
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡokz8XmNKfu
這裡，是她曾經努力融入的世界，36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbp3k4JRVVW
也是她曾經選擇離開的地方。36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrhm13IXZ2z
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3A1k02qLJr
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。36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpyswbpU5Sq
她想了想，最後，還是答應了。36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzGFieyArip
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ78U9OAUbEM
今天，就是她正式加入的第一天。36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK9qwD72QfT
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZXPTG12lCm
「……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。36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFVQF8YsFn4
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdSoP7FLHPQ
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。36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDQe1fVisbe
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwXC0RXDHCt
幸好，蘇硯的團隊氣氛與他本人並無二致——36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqqNknDpjWe
溫暖且熱情。36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL3PUyNJ9Cj
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXAMabZJRje
這個地方，不再讓她感到陌生與不安。36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ20PYclHSKl
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvoZ6I1tnTc
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。36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡENrbtufEVq
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTV77QV3Efk
「哎，學妹來啦？」36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIUKx9hZxel
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。36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjP9CC3dRx5
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1ltvwgcXfT
「學長，」她無奈地笑了笑，「你什麼時候改負責迎賓了？」36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ83k8Mk4o7o
「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，36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFGThR2PmIN
「更何況…妳能算『賓』嘛。」36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ85CMW0OXpl
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLSFdhc62E5
「……學長，你是不是期望我現在轉頭就走？」36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdAn1KWA6yt
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0yGrGw7idi
「怎麼？要不要回頭？現在還來得及喔。」36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡceiTGZRZQM
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHQXFIOZzCR
「……你覺得我會嗎？」36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhLEI22q7m6
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ36odnDH50
「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』。」36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKQWxq88Vyq
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdGgmCO2qVs
微瀾無語地翻了個白眼，「學長…現在教授都像你這麼閒嗎？」36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOyylfshyEc
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb9tkkkI0HY
「不閒啊，」蘇硯理所當然地說，「但來損妳幾句還是有點時間的。」36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsUyozHqr83
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5nGpZCS295
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。」36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡomEhESDfcs
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq1VolyGMSJ
微瀾接過識別證，別在腰間，便跟著蘇硯走進去。36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ20REjB0lDR
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ31ZG6MX1RS
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLmmoLubX1q
「走吧，該來認識一下你的新同事了。」36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr20u27jS3s
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0thRMo3UQC
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。36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjw5SUfTP28
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn49mHell4s
但她知道，這裡的她，已經和三年前的自己不一樣了。36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmKSYug7vUK
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ6mp0JmNqD
「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。」36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk5vUOSjNGU
蘇硯邊走邊解釋，隨手推開了一道門。36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSc5pOdXqd7
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvOX34rCAr7
「進去吧，大家應該都在——」36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuSAokUuQQX
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。36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW9wvd5le78
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOvjnRJi8XK
「哦哦！學長說的新人來了？」36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4tMlEiboND
「是蘇教授的學妹吧？聽說在國外做了不少研究！」36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ12cYzNKwLX
「妳好！歡迎加入我們！」36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhv0fevO4pR
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDrNC3w6BN7
微瀾還沒來得及說話，已經有人熱情地迎上來。36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbO4E0ITC3y
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbJfd6n7wRJ
她愣了愣，旋即微笑點頭：「大家好，我是微瀾，請多指教。」36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEa8r4z8M3q
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiiEl8GWbfX
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。36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi3I9JtTE5w
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。36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVEE1j5SjGq
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnPrzDJa0uY
「對了，等等蘇教授會帶妳熟悉幾個合作部門，尤其是……」36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0MiJ0AGowD
「許教授那邊吧？」36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBVqPm5NeUh
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcB1zYrrMCz
有人笑著接話：「畢竟未來很多研究案都會跟他那組對接。」36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU1Z8MqTEQV
微瀾正翻著資料的手微微一頓。36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS4dZD71vp7
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrZD3Np73fU
「啊，學妹你該不會還沒見過許教授吧？」36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoIUStG0ABq
「你們說……許墨？」36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpUuHFdVVmT
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxu6ukBtJaw
微瀾低聲問，語氣雖然穩定，指尖卻輕輕收緊了一些。36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRj4uWGJUua
「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。」36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvfW70Fzlcz
有人順口回應，沒注意到她的細微變化。36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXAjqJf9Igr
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgKur3ebvPI
「嗯……」微瀾垂下眼，輕輕摩挲著手中的筆。36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhh7nGlF1PW
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡme7KKPTuVu
這一刻，她知道——她終究還是要與他碰面的。36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKHwhDbFL9T
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlP9ygLLrFO
只是，這一次，主動選擇的人，是她。36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo6s3W3559G
