夜晚的雪靜靜落下，將整座城市覆上一層柔白。68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWqCHv7wnIb
這是一場突如其來的雪，並不在天氣預報裡。地上的積雪尚淺，卻已足夠讓街燈的光折射出淡淡的銀輝。68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6NyaC3LFwS
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ74zmqHLCxz
微瀾踩在雪地上，靜靜地走著，腳步放得很慢。68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOD7qlZhUDk
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ9Tg8zDyH2
她回來，已經快兩年了。68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP5ZQG6UXiK
這段時間，她適應了新的研究環境，也重新融入這座城市的節奏。68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSdMOvLQynU
而她再次見到許墨，則是半年前的事。68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp90zacl4F3
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡETrajIAmLK
這半年多來，他們並非完全沒有聯繫，偶爾會因為工作碰面，或者在學術會議上短暫交談。68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1xzc2gEpSu
但他從未強求，也從未催促。68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcP8XB0QlL6
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY8RnNSQXLF
就像現在，這是許墨第一次正式約她吃飯。68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHAPeQWg2Qj
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx1oaqx0YNI
沒有刻意選擇什麼特別的地方，也沒有安排複雜的行程。68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrVVXZpfKLt
他只是簡單地說：「一起吃晚餐吧。」68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAcw8dEAgHI
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK4m6lG3BiP
就像過去無數個夜晚，他們結束一天的工作後，隨意挑間店坐下，像普通的戀人一樣，度過一個再平常不過的夜晚。68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxeL6AKkhpS
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgCsp1uQUvB
但他們都知道，這次不同。68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2lz7LmV0OC
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd9iarA4zvU
晚餐後，許墨沒有急著送她回去，而是提議散步。68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡya5zbJm8p8
微瀾沒有拒絕，就這樣跟著他，走過熟悉的街道，走進這場未曾預料的雪夜。68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq8Yc1kGcfJ
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5L6TYGk5r0
「有點冷。」微瀾輕輕呼出一口氣，看著白霧在空氣裡散開。68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4fHu6Ub3bo
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPbjxKiQOWf
許墨微微側過身，視線落在她微微蜷縮的指尖。68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4FVgie5LLP
他沒有說話，只是順勢將自己的圍巾解下，輕輕地替她圍上。68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2zEmlak2cw
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcMVBAECGBj
「……你不冷？」微瀾偏頭看向他。68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKpdPlkZncJ
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkNVrGO2Be9
「還好。」他的語氣平靜，語速一如往常，卻帶著一絲淡淡的柔和。68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIYMaXAaBS6
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIqHoXGpzqm
微瀾沒有再說什麼，輕輕地拉了拉圍巾的邊角，感受著上面殘留的些許體溫。68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAH7n1J4Yue
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTUJ8E9CzjE
這是一種陌生的親密感，像是過去，卻又比過去更接近，近到讓人無法忽視。68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwJSNDsS8NH
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNzkb3M96T2
許墨側過頭，看著她低垂的側臉，輕聲道：「這是妳回來後，第一次和我這樣散步。」68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCXCxjWL8uj
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdiK9Dsj4Ky
微瀾頓了一下，沒有否認。68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvGWFo2VG9E
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7fEgsdNz1y
畢竟重逢後，他們一直維持著微妙的距離，既不疏遠，卻也不曾像現在這樣走在一起。68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHwpMAj64zb
許墨沒有催促她，也沒有刻意去製造「再一次」的開始。68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGGWAH2Rjce
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbcLcTAGKQs
他就只是……陪著她。68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzsIUp32nxs
讓她慢慢地去適應，慢慢地去思考，甚至——慢慢地去決定。68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRZMguNdulG
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMGEW9ysARb
這樣的許墨，是過去從未有過的。68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpLjCankMxd
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuY16tZ5mlc
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡToLqawvu72
「那天在機場，」他忽然低聲道，「我其實一直在等。」68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCRXoZWsALQ
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlsNnolZVpq
「等什麼？」微瀾輕輕側過頭。68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiNLsR50RvG
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU9rBwb0dLR
「等妳帶著行李來找我。」他的語氣淡淡的，像是在陳述一件已成過去的事，「但妳沒帶。」68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv68bGqaelQ
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWoRvekxW7V
微瀾微微睜大眼，指尖無意識地收緊了一瞬。68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2rcWSO2xyy
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnlkEPxrIua
「其實那天，當我看到妳空著手走來時，」許墨頓了一下，嘴角泛起一絲極淺的苦澀笑意，「我有一瞬間……想問妳是不是來告別的。」68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtpnrezH0KU
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgIkzpuIJ7K
「……」微瀾低下頭，心裡莫名泛起一絲悶痛。68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrDl0RkUkqb
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3Y5tnRniO2
她當時確實沒有想太多，甚至沒有意識到，自己空著手走進機場，對許墨來說意味著什麼。68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFhQdmYFScV
因為她當時的確還沒有決定——68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡniHKv6VvQJ
她還不確定，她是否準備好，再次選擇他。68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTaggnq1R0u
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLy9E9oXNEh
「但後來呢？」她低聲問，「你還是沒有問。」68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDFG4n3aRkW
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3XzgLgvP5R
「因為妳來了。」許墨語氣輕柔，眼底浮現一抹淡淡的溫暖，「所以，不管是什麼答案，我都願意等。」68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVyWJ5szrSH
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpIeD1HrnY9
微瀾的指尖微微顫了一下。68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh5Fnar1Anm
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhBhdH4hQeP
這次的許墨，真的不同了。68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL1UedysIfh
過去的他，習慣掌控所有變數，習慣在所有選擇裡找到「最優解」，但現在的他，卻能夠接受「未知」，甚至願意把選擇權完全交到她手上。68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFvBf4PrSIo
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0I5D3hcn50
她忽然覺得，心底某個角落被輕輕觸動了。68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvGGj10Qe0w
——這樣的他，是她曾經不敢奢求的。68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkobZKtf2RT
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrprc4sjE01
她深吸了一口氣，停下腳步。68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvT4TRO6nuk
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUgf7CP1JNe
「許墨。」68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnk5yRbMasS
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtt0LVOBbCj
他也隨之停下，看著她微微抬起頭，對上他的視線。68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgSjURn2nQA
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvPqiajxuSh
「如果……」她的聲音輕得像是怕驚擾了什麼，「如果我說，我選擇你——」68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVe6DczWwAr
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡknCA5d9vBO
她的話還沒說完，許墨的瞳孔微微一縮，下一秒，他已經猛然站起，將她緊緊擁入懷裡。68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoECK2lBaSV
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxvzI5ynNi5
許墨的手指緊扣著她的背，指節微微泛白，像是要將她刻進生命裡。68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN6qoIhPPYr
他的呼吸微微顫抖，像是在壓抑某種深埋已久的情緒。68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjrRRlrpOR7
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS3PftrpdcM
那個力道，幾乎能將她完全鎖進他的世界裡。68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc8GcNu2svs
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqVttwa3Vuw
微瀾怔了一瞬，還沒來得及反應，便感覺到他的手緊緊地摟住了她，像是要確認她真真切切地站在這裡，而不是他一場過於美好的夢。68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHcVLEwOfsQ
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVd5aVmU8bQ
「微瀾……」他的聲音低啞，帶著極力壓抑的顫抖，「我等這句話，等了太久。」68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl1fGasySnU
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsKOs4zVfQG
她沒有問他「還願不願意」。68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY2A7wPnRIT
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp2Wwg0hY4d
因為她知道，這個問題根本不需要問。68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnx0pU93Xhc
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbQPirLI6zk
他沒有變過，從頭到尾，唯一在變的，只有她的選擇。68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiCz7Uv8q0O
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlRLaO0YsjT
但這一次，是她真正選擇他。68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuxZsXoDbHS
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXmRfLG27nl
微瀾感受到他懷抱的顫抖，終於，緩緩地，抬手回抱住他。68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjD1YrzfuQP
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg9Sepc4UZa
夜裡的雪仍在靜靜地落下，覆蓋住他們的腳印，像是將過去所有的遺憾，埋進這片純白之中。68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3EpovKOGZ4
