夜晚的雪靜靜落下，將整座城市覆上一層柔白。68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXISVZjK2yN
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLWAZrV3uLD
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡklW2KmyOHo
微瀾踩在雪地上，靜靜地走著，腳步放得很慢。68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwJgttEHIgX
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyLTWL0Z3mh
她回來，已經快兩年了。68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb4BA5VwlJd
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvMjkb5BkAs
而她再次見到許墨，則是半年前的事。68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXVKwVUIcSM
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWoLIFwHT4e
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1J0qyxD6G0
但他從未強求，也從未催促。68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXDxpGFSSRX
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPV1Y7iLjeH
就像現在，這是許墨第一次正式約她吃飯。68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpdxxj69glM
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqqBMnJrQLG
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH0YHEjw2nx
他只是簡單地說：「一起吃晚餐吧。」68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaxQYf2NkDM
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRrhLDwFrT8
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfqn6UVfjLz
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEAmGLko6hW
但他們都知道，這次不同。68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXsVlQTis92
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2wP1kAhl93
晚餐後，許墨沒有急著送她回去，而是提議散步。68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqanMj87WyN
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu9r859n7Vb
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCrv7VI3c2f
「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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqs6wZ7kIG6
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGWARCfC4lh
許墨微微側過身，視線落在她微微蜷縮的指尖。68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9NIUjv40ej
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqj1xbeTIuJ
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfjYUAfKmDB
「……你不冷？」微瀾偏頭看向他。68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG2aN6glU3p
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiq5ERUFwCd
「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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuPrIoNyxI8
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnwyJE2NA6H
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxRUZQwOzV7
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5Eptz7NCTf
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRAgjaEXRln
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbDC2jYHIPf
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFC6j20sFey
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxtE6X6NTWF
微瀾頓了一下，沒有否認。68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFntTFipl0n
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlLF0m7Pgut
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ45Rq408kL
許墨沒有催促她，也沒有刻意去製造「再一次」的開始。68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ43FXSWzRd2
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPK1MXj64u0
他就只是……陪著她。68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfIkwC9zw5s
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYLSZDxhSLj
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDEeMk39v8G
這樣的許墨，是過去從未有過的。68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBjjYRshEjM
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8flF1gcSja
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbp1Wpyxelv
「那天在機場，」他忽然低聲道，「我其實一直在等。」68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1KHtQI9fsl
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmRDABYXG7R
「等什麼？」微瀾輕輕側過頭。68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsjEJZmFPzJ
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkQ9oZzH6MQ
「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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu4SEkjocqv
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrTOm6UX3Ts
微瀾微微睜大眼，指尖無意識地收緊了一瞬。68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTSZqwyVSni
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkIn8MfDxOj
「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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTPENywfX9N
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5roYNvlSBj
「……」微瀾低下頭，心裡莫名泛起一絲悶痛。68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6jINfq98Dq
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvGd6ETiVkh
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhXrRJPsA2D
因為她當時的確還沒有決定——68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQuCbb1W8IK
她還不確定，她是否準備好，再次選擇他。68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM6Zz4Y74mc
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQFMUZTdfN5
「但後來呢？」她低聲問，「你還是沒有問。」68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL31ydqCuxc
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB4ncqGpblO
「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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcIsIxhOduI
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡogRCuB8RAn
微瀾的指尖微微顫了一下。68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwvk2cpdktZ
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCMohWkGyal
這次的許墨，真的不同了。68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtlv6s7XjmP
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwcJ6NUWpuq
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUN2DjVvR33
她忽然覺得，心底某個角落被輕輕觸動了。68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4Fj0DqLc7V
——這樣的他，是她曾經不敢奢求的。68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfAQNDLDzk9
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMSdGwefRb3
她深吸了一口氣，停下腳步。68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡleYkXGcP1i
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjhAffLlPc4
「許墨。」68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDLQWSG6P8E
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEJjeo7LNSy
他也隨之停下，看著她微微抬起頭，對上他的視線。68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSCbgS6tMqw
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSofknR6238
「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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDW3aijCMpz
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡszHfjn1Wp3
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡECg6e8kCj8
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡglQIwSIdiC
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXijpkp9wRA
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE6ATTr9K1l
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSqAxzv5OWB
那個力道，幾乎能將她完全鎖進他的世界裡。68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl42vOtJvlM
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn8JTHzlc8P
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoxLxT9awyw
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRny4SL8Hbr
「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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwex5iU2EOb
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR7FVr8mzpb
她沒有問他「還願不願意」。68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrPALE23jRX
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOcZKCXuttr
因為她知道，這個問題根本不需要問。68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrvpS7F7FFC
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6rEQPjmPti
他沒有變過，從頭到尾，唯一在變的，只有她的選擇。68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhc2zQlJxVV
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡILGOI7EN1M
但這一次，是她真正選擇他。68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw7feponI30
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBiC33bffjg
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPucnnCDrGO
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡujiBiK0uFr
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcEbQV3Uz2Q
