又是一年的三月，春來時，梅雨季也隨之而來。44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMRTNqpIqyL
44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZJFemZRMEx
「呼……」44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe0oCIU06qZ
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。44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsWJlYteYym
44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1U9fyAIdq8
這裡，是她曾經努力融入的世界，44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw4AKPPijew
也是她曾經選擇離開的地方。44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3PpusOEui1
44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdTB6eI9KvQ
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。44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhHnNgmKdf7
她想了想，最後，還是答應了。44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrDWPPz6Pan
44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNcTqvFhoLR
今天，就是她正式加入的第一天。44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIuECtqzLLG
44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSCIvGl0PQ1
「……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。44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYeq8FSZoXy
44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBCTstXpzuF
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。44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡONEV03ikpS
44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaT8QRqkVWA
幸好，蘇硯的團隊氣氛與他本人並無二致——44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAwB3UoUY1Z
溫暖且熱情。44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzYVs6WBatS
44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1RVSzsbBPd
這個地方，不再讓她感到陌生與不安。44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ33ALdgeCYS
44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7XbVEofkt8
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。44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu9FQuLUgh1
44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaaqfwDIRDY
「哎，學妹來啦？」44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOeScqoc2sI
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。44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZhQwD9N9g5
44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3im9OYp4mV
「學長，」她無奈地笑了笑，「你什麼時候改負責迎賓了？」44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnybV0SRYKu
「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，44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlAY4xBYsh8
「更何況…妳能算『賓』嘛。」44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVYmVM6xVYf
44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMYSaEU3TA4
「……學長，你是不是期望我現在轉頭就走？」44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrkx24258BH
44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVJN5Uri3EM
「怎麼？要不要回頭？現在還來得及喔。」44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiARjJeCKlV
44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRMPAikb0dD
「……你覺得我會嗎？」44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIufLGTzQzU
44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ12DmkiWjp9
「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』。」44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkrfMiysjvk
44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPTrWDHXSgj
微瀾無語地翻了個白眼，「學長…現在教授都像你這麼閒嗎？」44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0bVeD7nr1D
44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9jLIZGgMnR
「不閒啊，」蘇硯理所當然地說，「但來損妳幾句還是有點時間的。」44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlV7Ra4CSGB
44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWLxsUWb5Ub
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。」44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9qNNPb3sGf
44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNvFQ6DoEDl
微瀾接過識別證，別在腰間，便跟著蘇硯走進去。44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7qKRkuJ8xP
44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI7UBxceWP3
44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2rH6K44iqj
「走吧，該來認識一下你的新同事了。」44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOi2AsLc0YJ
44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEmREIqaskj
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。44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUts5R20zyO
44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXXe9tcSQUm
但她知道，這裡的她，已經和三年前的自己不一樣了。44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBmXCoMa4vs
44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAvOPvd3VIO
「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。」44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaOFIUohy0V
蘇硯邊走邊解釋，隨手推開了一道門。44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHyfVhWahSp
44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM8lpPR2bUe
「進去吧，大家應該都在——」44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3TiHMoEpFI
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。44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOesXFQffVQ
44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8AmIUUXe14
「哦哦！學長說的新人來了？」44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQw87Wbmita
「是蘇教授的學妹吧？聽說在國外做了不少研究！」44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQdZzlLgnPl
「妳好！歡迎加入我們！」44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqmlL6H2SLp
44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuWBodChEhY
微瀾還沒來得及說話，已經有人熱情地迎上來。44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbAWlC6vn2S
44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqaIZTAAoJt
她愣了愣，旋即微笑點頭：「大家好，我是微瀾，請多指教。」44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLTS7p3jSgb
44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP7f5Or2GJC
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。44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡidnHsrMFiF
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。44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs08Q4vaaNR
44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuLM4vskvVQ
「對了，等等蘇教授會帶妳熟悉幾個合作部門，尤其是……」44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtLfvO6d6nT
「許教授那邊吧？」44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAQlkOszzBN
44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbEnSxnNe8y
有人笑著接話：「畢竟未來很多研究案都會跟他那組對接。」44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwjLz5u8kjl
微瀾正翻著資料的手微微一頓。44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡszwLSrOr50
44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjVkCJm3ick
「啊，學妹你該不會還沒見過許教授吧？」44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHkYt8AGyrS
「你們說……許墨？」44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzIPfOZi3UO
44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2Ldnk770jj
微瀾低聲問，語氣雖然穩定，指尖卻輕輕收緊了一些。44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpR0qrYsbvr
「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。」44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh1WqtPxNyE
有人順口回應，沒注意到她的細微變化。44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtD3I38Ot6G
44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLW8aQI1Vy9
「嗯……」微瀾垂下眼，輕輕摩挲著手中的筆。44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXIH5j4ktgS
44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsYaxgrrKYY
這一刻，她知道——她終究還是要與他碰面的。44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡthaFKK0AsO
44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnqtwgo0vjm
只是，這一次，主動選擇的人，是她。44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ22E74V96G2
