侯邦彥把幾張桌子併成一大桌,方便吃火鍋。121Please respect copyright.PENANAk7W19nP82k
121Please respect copyright.PENANASZ6dSHX1Gt
該開飯了,但金淑蓉還沒出現。孟瑤函只能大聲朝屋後吆喝:「要吃飯嘍!金妮妳好了沒?」121Please respect copyright.PENANACGbdQ96uLr
121Please respect copyright.PENANA4u8yDgJuRc
「來了,來啦。」121Please respect copyright.PENANAJKXxj9Edl7
121Please respect copyright.PENANAsQEjyNYKed
金淑蓉就磨咕了好久才現身,竟換了一套粉紅色的洋裝,長髮也梳理整齊。121Please respect copyright.PENANAupDmkvgYPx
121Please respect copyright.PENANABw6UbcEdyb
好像還畫上細膩的妝容呢,令人眼睛一亮。121Please respect copyright.PENANApkePpfWgcz
121Please respect copyright.PENANAlHVQHTkgNZ
孟瑤函看她亮麗現身,不免自卑感浮現:121Please respect copyright.PENANAGRT1yD82jG
121Please respect copyright.PENANA36tXL6Yg5J
舉手投足滿滿書卷氣的金淑蓉打扮起來,就是個貴氣的大小姐!121Please respect copyright.PENANAOu8bbYUyGW
121Please respect copyright.PENANAC4h1GNSEIg
倒是自己,從早到晚跟著侯邦彥東奔西跑。得知同學要住宿,就忙著整理房務,一身汗味,還來不及梳洗。121Please respect copyright.PENANANt0Hd1tJ1b
121Please respect copyright.PENANA9vkf9bpk6y
平平是女生,金淑蓉是小公主,而自己卻像下等丫鬟。121Please respect copyright.PENANAZsXLFfT5xz
121Please respect copyright.PENANAFvi5MnS7i9
這種天差地別,孟瑤函不覺自卑才奇怪呢。121Please respect copyright.PENANAMUDXrIuZK5
121Please respect copyright.PENANA5JfDjYP1CR
金淑蓉盛裝登場後,一直在吧台附近逗。但侯邦彥自顧自地料理炸牡蠣,雖然眼角目光瞄到她的欲言又止,卻一點都不想搭理她。121Please respect copyright.PENANAGuq0UpExJl
121Please respect copyright.PENANAmbl2xSwWtR
金淑蓉覺得無趣,回到桌旁,看到桌上擺了四副餐具,便找機會跟佟小蘭說悄悄話:121Please respect copyright.PENANA8ns4M2OuKp
121Please respect copyright.PENANAUAMYbU6aZE
「等一下開飯,妳坐瑤瑤旁邊的位子吧。」121Please respect copyright.PENANAYCdqCUjhGw
121Please respect copyright.PENANAtZeQiCPDoo
「為什麼?」121Please respect copyright.PENANA9j2vUevIaO
121Please respect copyright.PENANAeSSmBLJTDj
「別問了,就這麼做。」121Please respect copyright.PENANAurxPVxbPNw
121Please respect copyright.PENANAHCufOipxSC
說完,金淑蓉臉上堆滿笑容、主動迎向孟瑤函,拉住她的手臂,刻意親切。121Please respect copyright.PENANAqjRdDNgNTg
121Please respect copyright.PENANAaRmsxZ50IA
「瑤瑤別忙了!我們北上,是為看看妳過得好不好,找妳聊天,不是為了讓妳累。快坐下來一起吃飯,侯大哥也一起!」121Please respect copyright.PENANAuptSyIgbrJ
121Please respect copyright.PENANAeZYMrciFJB
從前在學校,孟瑤函也曾與金淑蓉交好。但現在不請自來挽起她的手,卻讓她渾身起雞皮疙瘩,打寒顫。121Please respect copyright.PENANA3xe7qo6hF6
121Please respect copyright.PENANAUMy5GZY4hI
她輕輕撥開金淑蓉,努力維持表面的和善。121Please respect copyright.PENANAkQCaJsyXXA
121Please respect copyright.PENANATMOkE1RtsK
「好,準備齊全了,開飯吧。」121Please respect copyright.PENANADJfUPkbSdE
121Please respect copyright.PENANAdMaXUq5fhY
三個女生先入座。佟小蘭坐孟瑤函身旁,金淑蓉則坐在她的對面。121Please respect copyright.PENANAPR8wLsIirz
121Please respect copyright.PENANAvblkTv2HYD
等到牡蠣起鍋,侯邦彥端著盤子來到桌邊,看見唯一的空位就在金淑蓉身旁。121Please respect copyright.PENANARFsSv5uglA
121Please respect copyright.PENANAuqwrioMxH1
他淡淡睞了一眼,沒多說話,默默用長筷把金黃酥脆的的牡蠣分到每個人的餐盤上。121Please respect copyright.PENANA5fcps3Plj9
121Please respect copyright.PENANAHh2ge327tL
「好漂亮飽滿的炸牡蠣呀!做這道菜要真功夫!」金淑蓉奉承道。121Please respect copyright.PENANAuNp9AMURSz
121Please respect copyright.PENANAtM2i6L8P1p
四顆牡蠣,一人一顆,但分到最後,侯邦彥在孟瑤函的盤子裡多放一顆。121Please respect copyright.PENANAX0WjQqjL0i
121Please respect copyright.PENANA3NdyL6kyJk
「咦?大叔你不吃嗎?」她察覺到異狀。121Please respect copyright.PENANAfBXlXrA73z
121Please respect copyright.PENANAAcuEKY0hJb
「嗯,妳們吃吧,同學們好好敘舊。西西不在Kokomo,我去幫阿朗,免得他倒台。」121Please respect copyright.PENANA8mTS39dmcR
121Please respect copyright.PENANAnSDTVPEKW2
他臉上沒有表情。121Please respect copyright.PENANANF6d0kwvdh
121Please respect copyright.PENANAiKnIQBUHPY
「吃完把碗盤丟在水槽,我回來再洗就好。今晚天氣晴朗,後院應該可以看見銀河,你們一邊看星星、一邊聊天吧。」121Please respect copyright.PENANAULsiDVmyvC
121Please respect copyright.PENANADD5hsoABEQ
說完,他又端出一大碗雜煮給阿逃。打點好一切,就跨上機車,油門一催就走。121Please respect copyright.PENANAeLWLUZAWeL
121Please respect copyright.PENANAHHz0DUtnf1
「奇怪,大叔為什麼不跟我們一起吃晚餐呢?明明他也忙了一下午,應該已經很累了呀。」121Please respect copyright.PENANAAgjKKUfs4C
121Please respect copyright.PENANAsPgTQHUgdb
孟瑤函想不通、又為他擔心;121Please respect copyright.PENANA5eZuxDwYK9
金淑蓉則一臉可惜;121Please respect copyright.PENANAiWxffSpDRy
只有佟小蘭按耐不住直接拿起筷子,往火鍋裡紅透的白蝦進攻!
121Please respect copyright.PENANA3F2lQV09Sy
121Please respect copyright.PENANAHXLp1jT7Ko
一頓飯,吃得孟瑤函如坐針氈。121Please respect copyright.PENANAVtRdMGGkGr
121Please respect copyright.PENANAFVjgGavD7o
但看著佟小蘭與金淑容享受著火鍋、怡然自得的模樣,她再再懷疑是自己氣度太小。121Please respect copyright.PENANAwFBQx409Sz
121Please respect copyright.PENANA13jqhxwqYb
「這昆布鍋口味真不俗!我看侯大哥不是用現成湯包,而是分次熬煮昆布、香菇和柴魚片,魚肉切片厚薄如一還刻花,太費工啦。侯大哥雖然穿著不拘小節,但整個人散發一種貴族氣質,他是不是留法國回來?學廚藝?」121Please respect copyright.PENANAzF4wOosFeK
121Please respect copyright.PENANAx5FkrMUbBS
金淑蓉邊吃邊問,毫不掩飾對侯邦彥的好奇。121Please respect copyright.PENANAKqlbyRKoZ1
121Please respect copyright.PENANAgr3C21JECl
「我不知道,但他好像有去英國留學。」121Please respect copyright.PENANApLUa0rdAwS
121Please respect copyright.PENANAWW8NE6kSts
「瑤瑤呀,妳運氣真好,以工換宿竟能遇到cp值這麼高的機會!我要是遇到這樣的老闆,說不定書也不念了,直接搶飯票比較實際!」121Please respect copyright.PENANAd1iYJSNAZC
121Please respect copyright.PENANAMmpBRtaqFC
吃飽的佟小蘭瞇著眼、撫著微凸的胃,活得像一隻雙頰塞滿葵瓜子的黃金鼠。121Please respect copyright.PENANA14crXtpaJO
121Please respect copyright.PENANAmbJGwN6bEF
「還好吧。大叔的脾氣很怪,對朋友是挺義氣的。但嘴巴壞的時候,就很想拿砒霜毒啞他。」121Please respect copyright.PENANAffQPNQ0H8n
121Please respect copyright.PENANAlyqHFDMgKD
「不行不行,妳下手太重了!暑假還很長,妳不想做了記得通知我們,我和小蘭都很樂意遞補妳的空缺。」121Please respect copyright.PENANAayq8PNr4xP
121Please respect copyright.PENANAds9gFvFkWC
金妮意猶未竟,伸長筷子又從鍋裡夾了一片魚肚。121Please respect copyright.PENANAYF3D0NcJId
121Please respect copyright.PENANAYG9giaSQcw
雙姝顧著笑,沒發現孟瑤函的臉色漸漸陰沉。121Please respect copyright.PENANAHzjfrh3yaj
121Please respect copyright.PENANAjiTSFQtEYE
「老愛盯著別人、搶機會,創造一個屬於自己的機會,很難嗎?」121Please respect copyright.PENANAcZqtNFGYuX
121Please respect copyright.PENANA6gmWaPJqMr
孟瑤函這是一語雙關,佟小蘭與金淑蓉都聽懂了,氣氛頓時降至冰點。121Please respect copyright.PENANAzkwt0ZDkZw
121Please respect copyright.PENANAgKV58c3MiN
有些事,也不能一直放著不處理,直球對決說不定有奇蹟。121Please respect copyright.PENANAIBKhjgc3ny
121Please respect copyright.PENANAVsE1u5qCTp
「唉呀,我吃飽了就犯睏,跟豬一樣。從k市趕到鯨鰭灣也花了一天的時間,累死人啦,我要先去洗澡嘍!金妮妳就讓我佔點便宜,明天我再幫忙收拾唷。」121Please respect copyright.PENANAfCSoirHZPn
121Please respect copyright.PENANArbuxLdjbzq
佟小蘭趕緊找藉口離開現場,讓兩人好好聊聊,漂亮開溜!
風波的兩大主角,面對面坐著。一時之間,沒人想先開口。121Please respect copyright.PENANA24iPQ9MS0X
121Please respect copyright.PENANAysEaXv3J6k
但『氣度』的高下修養,終究還是有差別。121Please respect copyright.PENANAEfRvcIA4Om
121Please respect copyright.PENANAyBAypRasNP
金淑蓉神態自若,拿起湯杓繼續幫自己添了一碗帶湯底的冬粉,小口小口吃相漂亮。121Please respect copyright.PENANAaOLiU2uot8
121Please respect copyright.PENANA7ZRz3ztZbr
她妝容精緻的側臉,因火鍋的熱氣更顯明媚,也讓孟瑤函的心裡更不是滋味。121Please respect copyright.PENANA3uQiXvTy0e
121Please respect copyright.PENANA4rXVjUIyEH
「妳的胃口怎麼能這麼好?我被妳搞得連覺都睡不好!妳竟然還敢跟著小蘭來這裡?」121Please respect copyright.PENANAQQy2WfwyaV
121Please respect copyright.PENANA4BaiUZVek1
「我又沒做錯事,為什麼要吃不下?而且侯大哥幫我們精心準備晚餐,吃不完也太失禮了。」121Please respect copyright.PENANAtbKomYU3PC
121Please respect copyright.PENANAWLVU0OGiTT
聽她理直氣壯的言論,孟瑤函的眼眶立刻激動泛紅。121Please respect copyright.PENANAc0mM620tCe
121Please respect copyright.PENANATqzesN6xTc
她很氣自己,明明抄襲的不是她,但她卻震怒、發抖。121Please respect copyright.PENANAIAy8L6Toew
121Please respect copyright.PENANABQIY32so7P
看起來理虧的反而是她!121Please respect copyright.PENANAi4WEQKuNRM
121Please respect copyright.PENANAfXwJomZF3P
即使到今日,孟瑤函還是沒辦法向別人解釋,為什麼這種『天降髒水』會潑到自己身上?121Please respect copyright.PENANA0J8F6cVDju
121Please respect copyright.PENANA1QS57OVYRk
有些事,她自己都解釋不清,但她知道金淑蓉比誰都清楚。121Please respect copyright.PENANAbSQjIIdAYg
121Please respect copyright.PENANAejNjSv83t0
「妳真敢說,當初我的『南城故事』還在構思階段,不過跟妳聊天時提到初步的發想,當時妳還跟我說喜歡這個故事,建議我擴大它的架構。誰知道妳竟然把我的創意整碗端走?同一個題材在同一場比賽亮相!害我被大家懷疑是抄襲妳,也不幫我說一句話?還虧我把妳當朋友!」121Please respect copyright.PENANAxxVs8Hq8kF
121Please respect copyright.PENANAv9dV7pBHPO
營業廳裡只剩她們倆,孟瑤函不再忍氣吞聲,把金淑蓉的可議之處一一指出。121Please respect copyright.PENANABhJQiE76yc
121Please respect copyright.PENANAsy4xI3MFq1
對比起孟瑤函的義憤填膺,金淑蓉依舊是一副老神在在、天塌不驚的鎮定。121Please respect copyright.PENANAjwHCzHyf6N
121Please respect copyright.PENANAtM2ftMbeCL
對她的聲淚指控投以微笑。121Please respect copyright.PENANARNB97KjzqH
121Please respect copyright.PENANArEiDaR5HHh
「一個想法在真正成為作品之前,就只是一個念頭。沒有形體的東西,妳怎麼能硬說它屬於妳呢?」121Please respect copyright.PENANARnaDABGe6f
121Please respect copyright.PENANAAoU1i4E5xL
她淡淡地斜睨孟瑤函一眼,如果不是坐在她的正前方,就不會看見她眼神中的輕蔑。121Please respect copyright.PENANA53bfrvRlZ3
121Please respect copyright.PENANAWORXXk23Or
這讓孟瑤函更憤怒,整個身體都跟著戰慄起來。121Please respect copyright.PENANAoXXchedVa6
121Please respect copyright.PENANAwCBKEfQJl9
「說實在話,那一晚,妳跟我提的概念實在太粗糙了!即使我們倆交出類似的作品,為什麼我的受到肯定、妳的卻被大家認為是仿效?當然是我的小說完成度高!妳的還是原始資料。妳呀,創作能力終究不如我,大好的題材給妳,只會平鋪直敘。妳瞧我的小說,加上魂穿,把南城的歷史與奔放的想像融合在一起,所以得獎。我是靠實力贏得這次比賽,與大家的肯定!」121Please respect copyright.PENANAD6AcbGBCdd
121Please respect copyright.PENANA3rV4JtoaVA
「但是那是我的創意!我的發想!如果妳沒有跟我聊天,妳會寫出『夢迴南城』嗎?」孟瑤函怒不可抑,拍桌起身對她吼道。121Please respect copyright.PENANAvYfTiIqVZm
121Please respect copyright.PENANAwWGqw8AMV7
「妳還是不甘願,是吧?」金淑蓉驕傲地撩了撩自己烏黑柔亮的披肩長髮。121Please respect copyright.PENANAyOB3YlIr6Q
121Please respect copyright.PENANANdXp7m2Xrh
「那麼請問:如果妳是這題材的第一位發掘者,為什麼妳的交稿時間反而比我遲?」121Please respect copyright.PENANAUC3aeBvuEP
121Please respect copyright.PENANAHByTmnko3G
孟瑤函瞬間愣住,說不出話。121Please respect copyright.PENANAzfQfcXO5OI
121Please respect copyright.PENANAQr1FhPy65i
金淑蓉的臉上雖然掛著微笑,但看人的眼神沒有溫度。121Please respect copyright.PENANAN4LZ4m8Uuu
121Please respect copyright.PENANAwyt1x888HI
「創作是一種技藝。也許妳有靈光一閃的幸運,但沒有能力把它落實,一切就是泡影。我得到一個雛形,然後把它擴充、把它豐富,讓它有血有肉,要讓讀者笑就笑、要他們哭就哭。讀者記得的是我,不是妳,這作品當然是我的。不然妳有相同的本事嗎?」121Please respect copyright.PENANAqcLZMLLZdW
121Please respect copyright.PENANAtHpm2LzF7n
「金妮,妳……」121Please respect copyright.PENANAUTvegEqAft
121Please respect copyright.PENANAmK3x1eHYFG
明明掠奪別人智慧財產的是金淑蓉,但孟瑤函被她的咄咄逼人打中自卑點,膝蓋後瞬間一軟、差點站不住腳。
