又是一年的三月，春來時，梅雨季也隨之而來。37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0dTHLlWwRK
37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqOCa2XCIxT
「呼……」37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyZQYNB2YxB
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。37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR0914rxKBP
37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzMppZnxWP9
這裡，是她曾經努力融入的世界，37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJMv1sdoLOi
也是她曾經選擇離開的地方。37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjycrtjLLWW
37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4mdvxq21J6
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。37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY46zOg4cM9
她想了想，最後，還是答應了。37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbTH6QcxVq5
37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP8l5WJpk0J
今天，就是她正式加入的第一天。37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0zsNGQhu49
37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxPfgjhuoGV
「……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。37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWbMPdDnFcj
37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfQccqPXOXv
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。37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmkt1Uvnee6
37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAWwrlUuKo5
幸好，蘇硯的團隊氣氛與他本人並無二致——37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2tVLk1ezr1
溫暖且熱情。37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJIb4D8TAo1
37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjaVhqZTQSR
這個地方，不再讓她感到陌生與不安。37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfw4nJ6hrID
37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc93pVabNyl
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。37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnVVLugageL
37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnrYEbBS3yX
「哎，學妹來啦？」37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5EiKCqwQBf
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。37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD6VwIdGqeT
37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU380ajqwez
「學長，」她無奈地笑了笑，「你什麼時候改負責迎賓了？」37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMXyunWuKZa
「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，37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSvnXRQqilv
「更何況…妳能算『賓』嘛。」37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWfqRFLvMYC
37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAPqiBl65jp
「……學長，你是不是期望我現在轉頭就走？」37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsvA3Iua2pi
37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnlcQJaHgDQ
「怎麼？要不要回頭？現在還來得及喔。」37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoLPlN84T5g
37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm9VIhleqqB
「……你覺得我會嗎？」37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeikteArLfz
37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdit5OpsFAW
「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』。」37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJtajc6FkNz
37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj06y4pcKei
微瀾無語地翻了個白眼，「學長…現在教授都像你這麼閒嗎？」37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnJcj86T0mz
37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUdIegX8ipv
「不閒啊，」蘇硯理所當然地說，「但來損妳幾句還是有點時間的。」37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeKcYzB2J36
37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo0YeNwqo6E
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。」37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd3KkeHmI7I
37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbBiXkd1lI5
微瀾接過識別證，別在腰間，便跟著蘇硯走進去。37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXEO20RkSVq
37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3DOycXDKBV
37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpokiKdlsgD
「走吧，該來認識一下你的新同事了。」37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCHZJ5UC1Fy
37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuUvPylLZ8N
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。37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNyoNxndVbh
37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2qfGSqfxkc
但她知道，這裡的她，已經和三年前的自己不一樣了。37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbfxCoQEyV9
37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxwDou0AQa0
「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。」37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2AZyiUIGp3
蘇硯邊走邊解釋，隨手推開了一道門。37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeHbOM2ErGp
37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ5yugMPb2x
「進去吧，大家應該都在——」37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHugGi901AI
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。37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFrQR370ZRF
37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlvlGgaqFVp
「哦哦！學長說的新人來了？」37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU0Dwrs3Lk4
「是蘇教授的學妹吧？聽說在國外做了不少研究！」37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyRWSRW5JSE
「妳好！歡迎加入我們！」37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7MJ4DQXiaG
37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwt12EURXOd
微瀾還沒來得及說話，已經有人熱情地迎上來。37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdRbx6Ej6GU
37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdKkdtWBosd
她愣了愣，旋即微笑點頭：「大家好，我是微瀾，請多指教。」37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ1pcl6OhH8
37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSzSqxIA86T
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。37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkTpLpO4RVM
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。37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ79X4k2HLjb
37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF5H6P5S6Vr
「對了，等等蘇教授會帶妳熟悉幾個合作部門，尤其是……」37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOKjByTsi7r
「許教授那邊吧？」37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBOLTBh92A5
37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjyCYuBeGOI
有人笑著接話：「畢竟未來很多研究案都會跟他那組對接。」37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0INt1H12M2
微瀾正翻著資料的手微微一頓。37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxBtjssD17b
37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0R5guw4AnN
「啊，學妹你該不會還沒見過許教授吧？」37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxmTXL0m0II
「你們說……許墨？」37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkRd4bAJerR
37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfyfEA2vOV7
微瀾低聲問，語氣雖然穩定，指尖卻輕輕收緊了一些。37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWE7dd0Trnp
「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。」37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSvpQ0fO44c
有人順口回應，沒注意到她的細微變化。37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfvSmeV0GoF
37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡijRMSkotMX
「嗯……」微瀾垂下眼，輕輕摩挲著手中的筆。37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAyU39J9WZW
37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ37oKp6zqsr
這一刻，她知道——她終究還是要與他碰面的。37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡswV3M4KShI
37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPCJAabEfuh
只是，這一次，主動選擇的人，是她。37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBSMn3vGWtY
