住在便利商店樓上有什麼好處？那就是身體的作息會慢慢和著個城市同步吧？339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8j4nq5n4ke

「叮咚」的開門聲早已變成背景的白噪音，穿過簡陋的夾層，頻率會隨著人們活動的節奏而改變。深夜裡，海潮的聲音會漸漸蓋過開門鳴響。339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwdnOAqxHkn
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoDmSEQOaOZ
進貨卡車的滴滴聲和「貨車右轉，請注意安全。」在清晨時會響起，那時身體會漸漸醒，夢會開始複雜，眼皮輕輕跳。柴油船外機作響，膠筏出港。著橘色背心的海巡隊會目送著漁船，在如絲的海面刮出淺淺的白沫。339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWAd2Knprp0
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQqzMDR8pPe
咖啡機、收銀機、飲料櫃關門時的風壓，在日出後也會開始噪。如果你這時醒來，可能可以看見雜木林中的鷺群成歪斜的人字，飛向灰色的海。339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcZrvp6UWN1

大進醒來的時候發現窗戶沒關，海風搖動著紗質的白色窗簾。339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡipccOY8I01
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIjTTuXINen
一個黑影迅速從落地窗的縫隙鑽了進來。339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa3EVQe7wp7
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtpVehtP0nL
大進驚坐起，外套從他昨晚睡覺的沙發滑落地面。339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2XeFz1vgPX
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu2lvzM8zXv
「Kiri！」大進用氣音說道。339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhKk06Y3Whh
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuYMgrhnS3p
Kiri在聽到名字的時候豎起了尾巴，胡亂應了一聲「喵」就往床底鑽去。339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmLOV9v1djn
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPOoJTfF3fx
Kiri是麗灣附近的野貓，原本是沒有名字的，直到有一天一群日本高中生來觀光，說這隻毛色和清晨霧氣(きり)的顏色很像，便這樣叫了，牠本貓也很中意這個名字。339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfUlMYeuw3Y
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF3iQuFuxng
大進追著貓來到床邊，看見仍在熟睡的桑妮，麥色的腿由Oversize的衣襬露出，趾頭蜷曲著，夾著大進的床單。339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxZtEinJgLC
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡamuYXXEpv7
昨晚雨後，他們回到租賃處，大進挖出一件舊系服給桑妮穿，輪流洗了熱水澡便睡了。大進昨夜睡在沙發上，脖子還有點酸，他想著自己應該沒有做出什麼踰矩的行為吧？339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd8NsaT1AFc
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTXWSjU9WNO
大進吞了一口口水，慢慢地幫桑妮把被子給蓋好。339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSJku8NtGDR
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKP7WCoaC3F
大進花了約半個小時和Kiri纏鬥，逗貓棒、雷射筆、衛生紙球，能用的都用上了，還是不肯從床底出來，最後只好下樓去便利商店買貓罐頭。每次都這樣。339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡml5KsAkLe9
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMoOLlNgtUx
回到房間時，桑妮已經醒了，Kiri窩在她的腿上，快樂地呼嚕著。339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJPYubAtzDg
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrXkQOKx4d8
「臭貓，去樓下買罐頭，害我被店員笑。」339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGHSDlsYHis
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ62c6lrnZkl
「笑你什麼？」桑妮搔著Kiri的下巴。339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyBItc9Asg5
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbhMRIcwlKg
「笑我帶妹子回家睡覺。」339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGKV2KVEmMW
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8dhlQbY5ZW
「我們又沒怎麼樣。」339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnXGIvLLOyJ
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTvnQOy1XwN
「嗯……。」大進摸了摸鼻子，他害羞的時候鼻子都會發紅，因此養成了假裝鼻癢的習慣。339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNpcwj1pGA6
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnoBakpafUg
大進低著頭把三明治和牛奶放在桌上，避開桑妮的眼神。339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ19T6C5cKdX
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxw5UlCULkf
「還是說，你期待我們，怎麼樣？」桑妮抱著Kiri來到大進身後。339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFka2sCfBMA
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAAoE3mTwhK
「我等一下要去打工，下午會去龍蝦坑那邊釣魚，要來嗎？」339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH0h1P214fx
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcC4iMBbONa
桑妮吃著三明治，鼓著嘴糊糊地說著什麼好冷漠。339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeqS35mGatN
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsiLVTEh6ge
「你加我好友一下，海博館那邊結束LINE妳。」大進把手機滑到加入好友的QR-code畫面。339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyruXJNRWsA
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlf55KF1jJ5
「我沒手機。」桑妮小聲地說。339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRuzZ3OkQgV

由麗灣通往柴城的濱彎道路很寬，是大進離開麗灣後才興建的，兩旁種植著海芒果，部分道路下方還有生態廊道，可以讓一些濱海生物通行，路蟹、寄居蟹、黑背海蛇。339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsU8Nq4MSUP
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbegby2dcko
大進的老檔車在道路上奔馳，其實抵達海博館最快的路徑是走內陸的省道，但那裡車多、速度快，不符合麗灣居民的生活節奏。濱彎道路是蜿蜒的，依著海岸地形建造，遇到年邁的老樹也會很有禮貌地繞路。339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmq5ydQBaUe
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡztWAOHF7ir
車子是大進和被退學的歷史系學長收的，車子很古老，排氣聲也很老派。巧克力胎捲起木麻黃的針葉以及一些細碎的鹽晶。339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡklC5VKqgd0
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf0mG1kQXij
「桑妮怎麼會連手機都沒有？麗灣有這麼落後？」大進邊騎邊想，海風吹亂他的思緒，讓他不自覺地鬆了一點油門。339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ147Br6KTXb
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5uR45zAPua
離開租賃處前，大進又翻箱倒櫃挖出去年淘汰的舊手機，跑去樓下買一張預付卡，又被店員挑眉嘲笑一番，再用光速設定好LINE帳號，把手機塞給桑妮。339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMLoduAq0qI
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBAXri6CKvy
大進還記得後照鏡中，蔚藍蒼穹下，桑妮的微笑。339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWMALW9dNay
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKdnBZqDyQE
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDENcSRAic8
來到柴城海博館，大進把車子側停在一棵棋盤腳下，棋盤腳葉子大又茂密，車子停這可以遮陰，也可以掩人耳目。他拎起安全帽，躡手躡腳地想從研究室的後門進去。339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiuCzZKCkDJ
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡau4SpYCdjD
「楊大進！遲到！扣錢！」一道刺耳的訓斥讓大進頸後的寒毛豎起。339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDLFEgSASWt
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPklSA93VMV
大進緩慢轉身，手抓著後腦，擺出不失禮貌的微笑，「敏怡教授……早安啊！」他心虛地說。339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnHxinC4ppS
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY9s0baWu2C
「敏怡是年輕美麗的海洋研究員，年紀輕輕就有許多SCI期刊發表，在珊瑚礁系生物研究是世界頂尖的。」339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOX7TFS3ag5
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgK3lrmKgNW
以上這段是海博館宣傳手冊上的文字，旁邊還附著敏怡穿著實驗袍，雙手抱胸的照片，看起來十分有幹勁。339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgT7Mh0WS9h
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKRfA5vUjYX
但大進從來沒看過敏怡教授穿過實驗衣。339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjNQQHuqWpr
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3gqCfcW5aj
此刻敏怡穿著短版的無袖針織衫、有扶桑花圖騰的海灘褲、夾腳拖。染成夕燒色的頭髮像是一顆馬糞海膽在頭後梳理成髻。339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWUbm29xRXV
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkkBFvre20W
「出大事了，大進，我們研究室要有『大進』展了！」敏怡的夾腳拖在研究室的長廊啪啪作響。339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhLn4PqZ2Yn
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHgLdZ0QDSq
「又有新物種出現了嗎？」大進抱著安全帽跟在後頭，看著教授雜亂的髮髻搖啊搖。339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6QEMNLQ63A
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxm5X3Xr7Ap
「比那個更興奮的事。」敏怡華麗轉身，食指輕觸嘴唇，比了個祕密的手勢。339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZEMb8VgKSl
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjpS38xSmKW
敏怡轉動門把，打開了通往遊客展示區的後門。339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgZMpxUQvUp
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlQKIyCFdKs
這裡是園區尚未對外開放的區域，地板上散落著各式管線與器具，液壓升降平台倚在巨大的缸體前。除霧設備還在測試階段，水缸的壁是迷濛的白。339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhFiow8EIjB
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX3Y1FW8SZZ
大進好像看見水缸裡有東西在游動。339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeu45sJITfR
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPNArOJ002y
未來這座水缸預計要入住的是白鯨(Delphinapterus leucas)，與日本名古屋港水族館合作，準備迎接去年十一月誕生的小白鯨。但日本那邊說小白鯨目前狀況不太好，還不適合長程運輸。339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiqNElhBxUW
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgXS3a0F1Fi
敏怡在液壓升降台前跳躍，右手高舉，想要拿下被工人隨意擱置在平台上的遙控器，小小的腰窩在大進眼前浮動。339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtouv4ZPC0B
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt5XMATZiqG
「幫一下。」敏怡回頭喊。339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡItdupxkNdX
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAJMWokR14s
大進看傻了，趕緊上去稍微墊起腳尖便取下了遙控器。339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGyvpT7WcJY
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGVdLAsRdtq
敏怡趁機把手伸進大進的T-shirt下面，唉唷，有腹肌噎，她很陶醉地搓揉著。339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡardEqakQNd
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRULuRV3Pzt
「妳這是職場性騷擾喔，敏怡姊。」大進板起了臉。339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy5xmhfPck9
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTqX9MPPvDx
「對不起……。」敏怡露出驚訝的神情。339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa5j5njIPQe
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvSSG0fun0z
「騙妳的啦，呵。」339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZgAGQiq3ol
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrHyL60RheJ
液壓升降台緩緩上升，水缸的曝氣設備的噪音越來越大。一直要到最上方大進才看清楚缸子裡的生物。339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCtNlCwNsMv
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsEoBmsc6ks
兩隻白色鯨體在水下游動，背上有淺灰色的斑點，額隆突出。但最令人震驚的是那長長的獨角由吻部突起，像一把鋒利的西洋劍。339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW6B408YPIM
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUJcsODR40M
「一角鯨！？」大進只有在教科書和影片中看過這傳奇的物種，但在他的記憶中，一角鯨的活動範圍是在寒冷的北大西洋海盆。339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ178Miema1
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡySLcobKBqL
敏怡點點頭，她說昨天就有漁民通報近海的定置網，有被破壞的狀況，也有作業船隻說有看到鯨豚在麗灣海域出現。結果今天凌晨就有衝浪客在麗灣真的看見這兩隻一角鯨，牠們好像被昨天低氣壓帶來的長浪推進灣區，體力不足，游不出去。我們去看發現好像有受傷就趕緊帶回來治療了，而且日出之後不知道牠們會不會被曬死。339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkaR8c5hImN
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ45Qq6nkWM
青色的水波紋在敏怡的臉上搖晃，她皺著眉，神情凝重。339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa9Z8YE0YPO
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡisP2YnUF1C
「我不知道這些事什麼時候會被媒體發現，先是許多從來沒看過的物種冒出來，現在又出現一角鯨。我想說的是——。」339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8HISWEEjpR
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWuJzEAKGgc
敏怡轉身過來，手指敲擊著金屬圍欄，眼神裡充滿光芒，像是盛夏的星砂。大進就是看見教授對於海、對於探索未知的熱誠，才選擇回來麗灣的。339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvseClWX7bF
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXIfTirdRqv
「——大事就要發生了，我有預感。」339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQn1gh9BNs6
