又是一年的三月，春來時，梅雨季也隨之而來。35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqYDhSvSYeW
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe3TtvgFSpK
「呼……」35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzKHFleFWyD
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。35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV21Mhlniom
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsBpzMkMKQ4
這裡，是她曾經努力融入的世界，35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqjuH2V8G37
也是她曾經選擇離開的地方。35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkG3eh2zhtE
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyzYF3n7gm3
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。35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0jyJ3cOJ6O
她想了想，最後，還是答應了。35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR3hj4zze7o
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsSLGcw7M9o
今天，就是她正式加入的第一天。35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkTr6ellhGr
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu5vdhn0gd0
「……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。35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFj85uuJyKa
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCfFKuEWX05
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。35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPZIZxcJr7V
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF5RX3UN3Cp
幸好，蘇硯的團隊氣氛與他本人並無二致——35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQQmOcMKtSR
溫暖且熱情。35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkRsRNR6IlK
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZMHbObnnRC
這個地方，不再讓她感到陌生與不安。35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFqAOMBfE7f
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgkBfADwiFh
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。35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg1tBTVfy9t
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX5HdBjuKaA
「哎，學妹來啦？」35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdzkGL35LPc
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。35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDNrnZsyYep
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYHm5TdwimD
「學長，」她無奈地笑了笑，「你什麼時候改負責迎賓了？」35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfHy2XVkp6O
「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，35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLzcT6A9sLc
「更何況…妳能算『賓』嘛。」35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvIJEIJz3pG
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡma5GU2DOOh
「……學長，你是不是期望我現在轉頭就走？」35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR8r4DdcWoQ
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVTwMwrqhJ0
「怎麼？要不要回頭？現在還來得及喔。」35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXcyQGQ9l6i
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8LmCCQbo8a
「……你覺得我會嗎？」35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvjzajMZfRS
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEEsEF7oUj9
「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』。」35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0hn5pa6Lnr
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3KZ1rLIBZJ
微瀾無語地翻了個白眼，「學長…現在教授都像你這麼閒嗎？」35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmwobbXTo1v
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH5s4F3gQVc
「不閒啊，」蘇硯理所當然地說，「但來損妳幾句還是有點時間的。」35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR1ENxESXsf
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV8SLtJjp0X
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。」35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcjOo0wH9DG
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs2WRHUjjXc
微瀾接過識別證，別在腰間，便跟著蘇硯走進去。35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo5Isoo0oYK
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrH9kvxGIdB
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC9KPs9cTss
「走吧，該來認識一下你的新同事了。」35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmxpll3zk1m
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyoJAhnt9hA
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。35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWvKqml92Qf
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwiGohijYIp
但她知道，這裡的她，已經和三年前的自己不一樣了。35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD8lCPCLKLu
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8d1KuY2OgG
「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。」35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ39KrqEspcF
蘇硯邊走邊解釋，隨手推開了一道門。35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuTklQHnZDz
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoZDiFkI0P2
「進去吧，大家應該都在——」35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgg1gd1JPz0
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。35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBzjvLnDDUn
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA3baoNtv7Y
「哦哦！學長說的新人來了？」35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0hF61yD1AL
「是蘇教授的學妹吧？聽說在國外做了不少研究！」35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe673veSIVd
「妳好！歡迎加入我們！」35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbBB0mqWoRv
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9ujXIJEwwG
微瀾還沒來得及說話，已經有人熱情地迎上來。35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRRz0rANOsu
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNFgvCpEXJS
她愣了愣，旋即微笑點頭：「大家好，我是微瀾，請多指教。」35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmpZbAvhkFn
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8ihJw7C2YI
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。35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3qOKv8g1ec
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。35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCxczMm7NiP
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrvT33Iby6k
「對了，等等蘇教授會帶妳熟悉幾個合作部門，尤其是……」35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBnW8INQGl8
「許教授那邊吧？」35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZGgLDD6g73
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfQ7hkw2RMQ
有人笑著接話：「畢竟未來很多研究案都會跟他那組對接。」35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSK3kv8bdz9
微瀾正翻著資料的手微微一頓。35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLmW2Mjqdt7
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRvLxbFZouf
「啊，學妹你該不會還沒見過許教授吧？」35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkkTuTzxPyP
「你們說……許墨？」35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ45kmkOf6An
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ876aAUFiNn
微瀾低聲問，語氣雖然穩定，指尖卻輕輕收緊了一些。35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9xNNtJAaaC
「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。」35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVQZ65rDjUa
有人順口回應，沒注意到她的細微變化。35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz8AWUEZzV7
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP09650mmP2
「嗯……」微瀾垂下眼，輕輕摩挲著手中的筆。35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnHYpkc16ZD
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9IZU18rlk8
這一刻，她知道——她終究還是要與他碰面的。35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHHD9KLKF92
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfitxZJOAB5
只是，這一次，主動選擇的人，是她。35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡioHmMIFEuZ
