夜晚的雪靜靜落下，將整座城市覆上一層柔白。68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzTR5wsS3GQ
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIq0E9cFLEo
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLikRKizoIu
微瀾踩在雪地上，靜靜地走著，腳步放得很慢。68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz0R97SaVUv
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4Q2Xt98yFm
她回來，已經快兩年了。68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7XE3nUr30u
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz8X9wln7dd
而她再次見到許墨，則是半年前的事。68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEKYOBeGO3v
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYAXtQ7APQs
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqtXtLKUuQI
但他從未強求，也從未催促。68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs13y0cfecD
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf4wZuGkGEz
就像現在，這是許墨第一次正式約她吃飯。68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBeAGgUwGIW
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ14o3u0O9bJ
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdl0gi8ExfH
他只是簡單地說：「一起吃晚餐吧。」68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlc4faI6NlT
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFZDmmzAenZ
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPY2fZk7EmN
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCpcYNcLzTc
但他們都知道，這次不同。68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMABsaTdRk6
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdjwUU52qrC
晚餐後，許墨沒有急著送她回去，而是提議散步。68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ79TaOTzyLF
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhEkDe5IAuA
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpnMhhGnE6o
「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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRWTiE6B6h2
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡffv3QgjGDs
許墨微微側過身，視線落在她微微蜷縮的指尖。68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFzn0oDZOjQ
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4oFVFpKOaN
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhE4QaR7Xzl
「……你不冷？」微瀾偏頭看向他。68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCsiJzVKdte
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHMHfdxUzi7
「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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1tvYNU6FJS
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTfHah3NHVO
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ98P5kjpBP1
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbzuiGLHwb8
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjMbaqRUduN
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmLaaDsx7H9
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzcIYCUhYWJ
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU5yAaJyX7v
微瀾頓了一下，沒有否認。68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4WgzHD1Hv5
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEvYqKLH8j2
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWaNZjoNINj
許墨沒有催促她，也沒有刻意去製造「再一次」的開始。68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDMO0RP5Ww0
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW8oNotmQAh
他就只是……陪著她。68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5TigPfoIh1
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYUFYtVPBqn
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjRkeLTcPGr
這樣的許墨，是過去從未有過的。68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfRUqeofbou
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe9D7U22apd
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHn92vHLlXt
「那天在機場，」他忽然低聲道，「我其實一直在等。」68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdetKFZ0Xwp
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA4p7xFN9DE
「等什麼？」微瀾輕輕側過頭。68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj64PfLiMJX
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXUAD3ELxKV
「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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3gv4LLD1ql
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2EiKAfQbDt
微瀾微微睜大眼，指尖無意識地收緊了一瞬。68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhmwq1yviTA
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL8CMVX9TNo
「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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdbtRVlqO7B
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrAxNvwX4MH
「……」微瀾低下頭，心裡莫名泛起一絲悶痛。68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq3EmctngrV
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr0b9zbGP2l
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4VNVR24SdT
因為她當時的確還沒有決定——68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs4a1it3l1h
她還不確定，她是否準備好，再次選擇他。68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf5aBWlTmO8
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdV4sO2C4oG
「但後來呢？」她低聲問，「你還是沒有問。」68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsbzbg2NV49
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL53Qc4qqi4
「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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLvp5NK8UTx
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkIkBQfbcC0
微瀾的指尖微微顫了一下。68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8Ngc6BZVJz
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTSilLqqCPn
這次的許墨，真的不同了。68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDex3mdjYjf
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1fb7i9bPID
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlcaUyfkFUa
她忽然覺得，心底某個角落被輕輕觸動了。68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf2mAeJHS5h
——這樣的他，是她曾經不敢奢求的。68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9L3W89I59X
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL2UKUEHAYd
她深吸了一口氣，停下腳步。68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ41ipCKU1t9
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfu6lmoZkW7
「許墨。」68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWBgqyX2hKV
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEZYXhW6N0q
他也隨之停下，看著她微微抬起頭，對上他的視線。68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDWvYU7MWAZ
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1sR2KfPKgx
「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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGovILFL7fQ
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKaz2jkKjV1
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrNBUA4M3I5
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX5BRpgXgbH
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYMQ4DUU8LG
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPUGPrROkPB
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡotD4vpczUE
那個力道，幾乎能將她完全鎖進他的世界裡。68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNbw5DulePW
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr1xqPQGGBj
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyy97aDTLiH
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRNuo3PXsNr
「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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbTYPpqxJD7
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi5VZQIK8zn
她沒有問他「還願不願意」。68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqOKefc4CN1
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9ZtFqwufby
因為她知道，這個問題根本不需要問。68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdVhuPv4ViK
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVhGgCou1rD
他沒有變過，從頭到尾，唯一在變的，只有她的選擇。68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDLQBXhx8PD
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzelxXHJu5y
但這一次，是她真正選擇他。68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuKHQvWRAQ1
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA6R5EULhZ0
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpzacdVncug
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrrU2swbzAr
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzeFn9YDpCS
