雨後的天空灰得低沉,連空氣都混著濕氣,像是壓在胸口的棉被。42Please respect copyright.PENANAwNzR5ziuWD
42Please respect copyright.PENANAw3b3kcUgsU
溫心良坐在音樂室,雙手懸在鍵盤上,卻遲遲沒有按下下一個音符。電腦螢幕上的編曲軟體閃爍著光標,彷彿在催促她創作的靈感,而她只是沉默地注視著那個停格畫面。42Please respect copyright.PENANASnOx9s0XDG
42Please respect copyright.PENANAP7GDEPtZ0B
一夜無眠。42Please respect copyright.PENANAYjmZEtV6hq
42Please respect copyright.PENANAKvWnYRvEZA
腦中不斷浮現昨天在公司會議室裡的那些話,還有那張陌生又熟悉的臉孔,與她冷眼對峙的阿姨。42Please respect copyright.PENANApO62Qoy90K
42Please respect copyright.PENANAEoWdg0rfDS
明明已劃清界線,卻總是以血緣與恩情的名義,將她拖入無盡的情緒拉扯。42Please respect copyright.PENANAYUSAQmtqXN
42Please respect copyright.PENANA6rjRroK7dD
耳邊忽然響起手機的提示音。42Please respect copyright.PENANAfs0ooGKflO
42Please respect copyright.PENANA1MPEVJyGcf
是溫南辰發來的訊息:【週末回家吃飯,爸媽說有媒體想採訪妳的工作歷程。也想順便跟妳聊聊最近的風波。】42Please respect copyright.PENANAcdVkKqdauP
42Please respect copyright.PENANAP08U9vFJvB
她指尖滑動著手機螢幕,目光停留在「回家」兩個字上,良久未作出回應。42Please respect copyright.PENANAAysRIXuAtJ
42Please respect copyright.PENANAgDslbhKEsx
此時,甜伊打開客廳的電視,新聞正在播報御江集團最新的企業動態。42Please respect copyright.PENANAGh4SWLTOro
42Please respect copyright.PENANAo0DJxlUOFc
——「Demon電競戰隊與御江集團今日正式宣布合作案,將展開跨界娛樂聯名計劃……」42Please respect copyright.PENANANxgCWWyn2H
42Please respect copyright.PENANAQRmX77ykDu
畫面中,一名身穿黑襯衫的青年站在發布會現場,言語精煉、神情沉穩。42Please respect copyright.PENANAit7zjUyoYL
42Please respect copyright.PENANAtkZgAd1YQD
是江旭。42Please respect copyright.PENANAGpyuE2a7dL
42Please respect copyright.PENANAAHzS3qUqhp
他的眼神沉靜,卻在鏡頭外某個瞬間閃過一絲極淡的銳利——與昨日在公司門外,站在轉角默默注視她的那一眼如出一轍。42Please respect copyright.PENANAoHnCf55yTC
42Please respect copyright.PENANAbTmOwhMYhN
心良看著畫面,沒有說話。只是輕輕取下耳機,坐回鋼琴前。42Please respect copyright.PENANAmlcm53wdkK
42Please respect copyright.PENANAN7etzzTjPD
下一個音符,終於落下。42Please respect copyright.PENANAc3Pk2xHXCp
42Please respect copyright.PENANA5xCWHg2ipT
旋律開始流淌,像是壓抑已久的情緒,找到出口。42Please respect copyright.PENANAJPiQkscthT
42Please respect copyright.PENANAefsxUSI4Eq
這一刻,她選擇用音樂沉澱,而非逃避。42Please respect copyright.PENANAyF8aCGlHgM
42Please respect copyright.PENANAqz8vKYamvL
她知道,這只是短暫的平靜——真正的風暴,正悄然成形。42Please respect copyright.PENANAdLgLlWcqGj
42Please respect copyright.PENANAhfPa694ocg
隔天,清晨的空氣透著微涼。42Please respect copyright.PENANAcoBqY6MQfc
42Please respect copyright.PENANA4f3xV2L4j7
心良一早起身洗漱完畢,換上一套簡潔有型的休閒西裝套裝,雖不過度正式,卻也不失體面。42Please respect copyright.PENANAbJNu3RUqCN
42Please respect copyright.PENANAzke2p5tDJL
今天是她早前答應溫南辰與Demon戰隊的飯局,為了感謝他們那天在實戰中挺身而出,幫她解了一場尷尬對局。42Please respect copyright.PENANAH1wPchwrkm
42Please respect copyright.PENANAZV3WHZQRH9
地點選在市區一家日式無菜單料理店,由江旭親自訂位,風格清幽私密,適合深談。42Please respect copyright.PENANA1twzkSoa8e
42Please respect copyright.PENANAJHkTxhGZ4m
「今天你主要是答謝他們,我建議你別說得太客套,江旭這種人一客氣起來,就會給你三倍的回禮。」甜伊邊幫她整理衣角邊囑咐。42Please respect copyright.PENANAAuNXasUwST
42Please respect copyright.PENANA5Jv0H0bp51
「我會拿捏分寸的。」心良對著鏡子理了理劉海。42Please respect copyright.PENANAjtL2KTF2eN
42Please respect copyright.PENANA4HUdRAjqsI
當她們抵達餐廳時,包廂內已經坐了柯丁宇與江旭,兩人皆一身低調黑色系著裝,神情自在。42Please respect copyright.PENANATPrLt9I1Dd
42Please respect copyright.PENANA6CKXMkNaEP
「姊,妳今天終於肯準時了欸,感動到想落淚。」柯丁宇故意誇張起身行大禮,逗得心良忍不住失笑。42Please respect copyright.PENANA0rTzImsx8J
42Please respect copyright.PENANAaLOJmogo6v
江旭起身微點頭,目光落在心良身上停留了一瞬,語氣溫和:「妳看起來好很多。」42Please respect copyright.PENANAK1Ej6EAVkQ
42Please respect copyright.PENANAnYQYVlrxRG
心良淡淡一笑:「謝謝你們那天願意出手,這頓算是小小的感謝。」42Please respect copyright.PENANAiNj6ErmT4O
42Please respect copyright.PENANA3z67OSBbQ8
「那天不是妳撐場,我們也看不出星河的底線在哪。」江旭淡然說道,語氣聽來像是一場平常對局,卻隱隱透出對她能力的認可。42Please respect copyright.PENANAetRCOBb7tI
42Please respect copyright.PENANApcak4V2nNY
菜一道道上桌,氣氛逐漸從正式轉為自然,話題也從遊戲拓展到音樂、未來企劃,甚至碰觸到她與順音唱片之間的裂痕。42Please respect copyright.PENANAH5OA8C9h9t
42Please respect copyright.PENANA1sVLN4wvfx
江旭沒有急著插話,只是聽,偶爾點頭,偶爾記下幾句。42Please respect copyright.PENANArRqIbwUEFr
42Please respect copyright.PENANALq8eJR0Tmp
這頓飯,不只是一場感謝聚餐。42Please respect copyright.PENANAdz5eUuvIFH
42Please respect copyright.PENANAKynXzSINO5
而在同一棟大樓的一樓咖啡廳裡,張玉婷與范佩希也各自坐在靠窗的位置,戴著帽子與口罩,觀察著餐廳外的動向。42Please respect copyright.PENANARxx7a3VUYn
42Please respect copyright.PENANAQVX009T5me
「妳確定他們會從正門進去?我們這樣等得到嗎?」范佩希小聲嘀咕,一邊假裝翻閱雜誌。42Please respect copyright.PENANApqxtoDebF1
42Please respect copyright.PENANAsJrLWOxbpl
「他們訂的是那間無菜單料理店,江旭那種人不會耍小動作,等著就是了。」張玉婷抱著胳膊,語氣堅定。42Please respect copyright.PENANA8xDcBpcuS2
42Please respect copyright.PENANAwQ9a6ohWbY
她們早就透過心良隨口透露的線索,猜到今天會有這場聚餐,便異口同聲表示要「巧遇」,妄圖在江旭或南辰面前刷一波存在感。42Please respect copyright.PENANAbfGobRB5I4
42Please respect copyright.PENANANaRGZaDtj2
然而兩人並不知道,餐廳設有獨立包廂出入口,他們全程從後門入席,未曾經過正門。42Please respect copyright.PENANASuPYGAZjsO
42Please respect copyright.PENANAJzKCQNZx6n
「怎麼還沒人進去……」佩希盯著手錶,語氣焦躁。42Please respect copyright.PENANABFbpbONgku
42Please respect copyright.PENANAq67ID0dkOw
「再等十分鐘,不然就進去裝成誤入。」玉婷一臉盤算。42Please respect copyright.PENANAU6Ed0J76Qn
42Please respect copyright.PENANAxIZTW4xiUy
此刻,樓上包廂內的氣氛卻安穩有致,與樓下兩人焦躁不安的等待,形成鮮明對比。42Please respect copyright.PENANAZeziiUnB24
42Please respect copyright.PENANAVj9wnmAAKq
這頓飯局,有人用心交誼,有人懷心計算。42Please respect copyright.PENANACbA94tnLEl
42Please respect copyright.PENANAKWlQLka3uF
然而就在甜品上桌的前一刻,包廂的門竟毫無預警地被推開。42Please respect copyright.PENANAeXNYgMQ2gO
42Please respect copyright.PENANAgmsN4zsQlo
一身精心打扮的張玉婷,踩著高跟鞋,笑得自信滿滿地走了進來。42Please respect copyright.PENANAeBDpUqzw1c
42Please respect copyright.PENANA7H5Q4YiuOt
「哎呀,真巧呢!沒想到會在這裡遇到你們!」她語氣輕快,彷彿真的是場意外。42Please respect copyright.PENANAwqfxwR7Eoo
42Please respect copyright.PENANAzKP1iuk1CV
心良眼神一沉,幾乎瞬間從座位起身,甜伊則皺眉低聲:「她怎麼進來的?」42Please respect copyright.PENANAaAbaKmcN3f
42Please respect copyright.PENANAKlXwvs02k3
柯丁宇放下筷子,一臉困惑:「妳怎麼知道我們在這裡?」42Please respect copyright.PENANAk42aA12x1J
42Please respect copyright.PENANAlERiM7b0Kq
「我有朋友在這家餐廳工作啊,剛好聽說你們訂了包廂,就順道上來看看嘛。」玉婷語氣理所當然。42Please respect copyright.PENANA99L7oddF3d
42Please respect copyright.PENANAtDb03NG791
「妳這叫做擅自闖入。」江旭冷冷開口,語調不高,卻讓整個空氣凝結。42Please respect copyright.PENANAWOIzqecBmb
42Please respect copyright.PENANAKzXqubwwgf
玉婷一愣,眼中閃過一絲不甘,又強撐著笑容走向溫南辰:「南辰哥,我們之前在公司外的聚會有見過吧?真巧,今天也能遇上。」42Please respect copyright.PENANAiEgwBTLoGj
42Please respect copyright.PENANAodiGz5MFYZ
溫南辰不為所動,只淡淡點頭:「現在不方便,請妳離開。」42Please respect copyright.PENANASWSw3s9WI9
42Please respect copyright.PENANA61UFfSaW3i
玉婷怔住,臉色變了幾分。甜伊已從座位邊走了過來,將她攔在一旁,小聲而堅定地說:「這裡不是讓你玩心機的地方,請你尊重這場飯局。」42Please respect copyright.PENANAJoCwVXFFj7
42Please respect copyright.PENANAttR7vaPz6c
玉婷被請出包廂時,臉色已完全掛不住。42Please respect copyright.PENANA4k89KxOlwX
42Please respect copyright.PENANA2idfC5VqTu
她離開後,包廂內一度沉默,直到丁宇刻意咳了一聲:「姊,妳交友圈該整頓了。」42Please respect copyright.PENANA6IDX0mczhV
42Please respect copyright.PENANAsJcp2Q6bUE
甜伊則低聲附和:「她這樣是踩線,不只是妳的面子問題。」42Please respect copyright.PENANAMIzTjxZIbj
42Please respect copyright.PENANAqfdXi1RCsu
江旭望著包廂門,久久沒說話,雖然張玉婷針對的不是他,卻也讓他從旁觀察到這個人不單純的一面。42Please respect copyright.PENANA8FLhmises5
42Please respect copyright.PENANAdVZO4PVbzH
而這一場突襲,無疑在他心中種下了某個種子。42Please respect copyright.PENANAjGtNwle6db
42Please respect copyright.PENANArIAKdrwiv7
一種想要,徹底將她們從心良身邊切割開的決心。42Please respect copyright.PENANA37NSF8T6Kv
42Please respect copyright.PENANAmJE9DHxbi3
而真正的變局,還未揭開序幕。42Please respect copyright.PENANAKSFucuncHq
42Please respect copyright.PENANAYQA2eWR9VW
心良感覺得到,那男人的思維已經開始編織某種未來的藍圖,而她,或許正是那個藍圖的核心。42Please respect copyright.PENANACMpHVZhW5i
42Please respect copyright.PENANA1TQvArIH6H
這將是另一場無聲的談判。42Please respect copyright.PENANA9F0kbyR4EH
42Please respect copyright.PENANAVUsyLUcjjp
也是,她該走的下一步。42Please respect copyright.PENANA2YIBuPFhXT
