消防局辦公室裡燈光柔和，窗外的夜色靜靜覆蓋整個城市。
張裕希關上門，轉過身看見韓甯甯站在落地窗前，雙手交握、低著頭，似乎在醞釀著什麼情緒。39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkF0eMqz1uT
他走上前，剛要開口，韓甯甯就輕聲問道：39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGmGsuXWsHJ
「你愛我嗎？」39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡofoD1segKN
聲音不大，卻像一記重錘敲進他心裡。39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfyEZXmjgyq
張裕希一愣，隨即眼神變得堅定。他伸手輕輕握住她的手，看著她的眼睛，一字一句地回答：39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjMMuKvbjuH
「我愛你，甯甯。不只愛，我也會對我們的孩子負起所有責任。」39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhJGoZ1jQVa
韓甯甯的眼眶瞬間泛紅，彷彿這句話是她壓抑已久、最想聽見的承諾。39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLJzBAWRnkf
「你真的不後悔嗎？」她聲音顫抖，「現在回頭還來得及——」39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNBT42HhKRe
話還沒說完，張裕希就緊緊地將她抱進懷裡，語氣低沈卻篤定：39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWWBuu1XKaG
「後悔的是我過去讓你一個人面對。我這次不會再放手了。」39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmCV7hz9qzK
韓甯甯靠在他胸前，聽著他急促而真實的心跳，眼淚再也止不住地滑落。39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK2MN37ns8C
兩人就那樣緊緊相擁，像是終於從漫長的試煉裡彼此走回對方身邊，沒有逃避，沒有懷疑，只剩下深深的依靠與決心。39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrQYVKVli4F
允心本來正蹲在消防局庭院裡，跟一隻白色拉布拉多玩得開心，狗狗乖巧地搖著尾巴，還伸出舌頭舔了舔她的手，惹得她忍不住笑出聲。39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbpGLTHcmXR
這時，一道低沉的聲音在她背後響起：「牠叫小雪，是我帶過來的救援犬。」39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡABrW4mzM0w
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbGrUEJPG3j
允心轉過身，看見顧霆川正朝她走來。他身上還帶著剛訓練完的汗味，T恤貼著結實的胸膛，額前的髮絲微濕。他蹲下來摸了摸狗的頭，嘴角竟然勾起一抹不常見的溫暖笑意：「牠脾氣很好，也很黏人。」39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8cLTHWrUu0
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy5vCmCOSA2
允心有些怔住了，這是她第一次見他笑得那麼柔和，像陽光照進了她的心坎裡。她忍不住輕聲說：「你笑起來……跟平常不一樣。」39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlbwO5FIMb5
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuQlxMgwmNa
顧霆川低頭看了她一眼，挑眉問：「不一樣哪裡？」39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoi6FWOsuig
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3C7i5w3tNp
她紅了臉，撇開視線：「就……比較像人。」39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE9a9AlsQ1w
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeuTVOHNk1D
他失笑：「所以我平常像機器人？」39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFAdRUhbgsa
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZrOlG0wBes
她忍不住也笑了。39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2LyqNS05S6
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ07Gp2287mp
就在這時，張裕希牽著韓甯甯的手走出辦公室，兩人臉上都帶著溫柔的笑意。顧霆川掃了他們一眼，淡淡開口：「怎麼，張副隊長，這次是真的浪子回頭了？」39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD6R9Yhle31
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjq4ushPT05
張裕希嘴角揚起，自信地回嗆：「我又不是你，一開始就沒走錯路。」39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0HMdIRnPJO
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcwWFaf0cNG
顧霆川挑眉，沒接話，轉而低頭對允心說：「我去幫牠洗澡，要一起來嗎？」39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXaCQPQYsYG
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlhO6lwEH1D
允心點頭，順手拍拍小雪的頭，跟著顧霆川往洗犬區走去。這一夜，消防局的燈光下，溫暖與故事悄悄展開
洗犬區在後院一處簡單整理的空間，有水龍頭、噴頭與幾個大型水桶。顧霆川挽起袖子，露出手臂上結實的肌肉與些微曬痕，將水調好溫度後，對小雪招了招手。
「過來，小雪，乖。」39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ74DzmWgXna
白色的拉布拉多果然聽話，立刻靠過來，顧霆川輕輕拉住牠的項圈，引導牠站上洗澡台。他用手測了一下水溫後，開始幫牠沖洗。39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3sFoNKR5IT
允心站在一旁看著，忍不住笑出聲：「沒想到你也有這麼溫柔的一面。」39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1dD1EcHyaX
顧霆川沒抬頭，只淡淡回了一句：「你們平常看到的樣子，是我對人。這是對狗。」39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZVGNS9Odvs
「所以我不是人？」她故作委屈地說。39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkWvpzq5nKy
顧霆川終於抬起頭，眼神帶笑：「妳是例外。」39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2dzylO8319
允心心跳微微漏了一拍，裝作沒聽懂，蹲下來拿起旁邊的毛巾幫忙擦拭小雪的前腿。兩人一左一右，靠得很近，時不時手指會碰到對方的手背，氣氛在洗犬區悄悄曖昧了起來。39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ4Q7DVnLNN
忽然，小雪猛地甩了甩身上的水，水花四濺，兩人瞬間被濕了一身。39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWUsUHX9vX5
允心驚呼：「啊！你家狗也太調皮！」39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4OFTU5C8RL
顧霆川愣了一秒，隨即大笑出聲，是那種從喉嚨深處傳出的、完全不掩飾的笑。他看著她狼狽地擦著臉，忍不住說：「你現在才像個人。」39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtbLC58HyS3
允心氣得拿起毛巾輕輕砸了他一下，他沒有閃，只是望著她，眼神帶著幾分說不出的情緒。水珠沿著他的下巴滑落，她看著那畫面，一時之間竟有些移不開眼。39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6TFKGSKLUc
這一刻，誰都沒有說話，只有小雪又晃了晃身子，彷彿也察覺到什麼不一樣的氣氛。39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuUm4tt5PdP
洗完澡的小雪搖著尾巴離開洗犬台，顧霆川彎腰擦著地板上被水濺濕的地方。39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8LqBoeGdBo
允心轉身準備拿乾毛巾，不料一腳踩在濕滑的磁磚上，身體瞬間失去重心。39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoN67eM20Ie
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDZowY0pSyR
「啊──！」39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2Zhm3jhVfA
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf6tfPr7F33
眼看就要跌倒，她只來得及驚呼一聲，整個人往後傾去。39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtCeQS85cGy
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2JeSFGhBva
千鈞一髮之際，一雙有力的手從背後一把接住她的腰，穩穩地將她圈在懷裡。她胸口劇烈起伏，緊張地抬頭，只見顧霆川眉頭微皺，臉上還殘留著未散的驚險神色。39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqipk86QJqR
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfuND4Qh8UF
兩人四目相對。39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlLAKFfSi9c
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxCf7kI6QlD
距離近得幾乎能聽見彼此的呼吸聲。他懷裡有股溫熱的溫度，還有屬於他身上淡淡的皂香與陽光氣味。允心一動也不敢動，只能仰頭望著他，一時之間忘了要說話。39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2bNtuvWHyD
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhMSofOCFWm
顧霆川的手，依舊緊緊扣著她的腰。他眼神微沉，像是在掙扎，又像是壓抑著什麼。他低頭看著她許久，薄唇微啟，卻什麼都沒說。39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNERP5AATM0
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ40KlEIyEzY
那一瞬間，空氣好像停止流動。39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRjLByivo2h
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEAg7gMs2vL
然後，他鬆開了手。39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCvqECHUm8S
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYr94KNgOSS
一秒鐘前還溫暖如火的懷抱，此刻像突然被冷水澆熄。39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6uYmNSRtNb
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfTegxtGvyz
「韓甯甯在外面等你了。」他的聲音冰冷而疏離，彷彿剛才那幾秒的靠近只是她的錯覺，「快回家吧。」39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwtrA3FRztL
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2QRq3H6gQG
允心愣了一下，像被人當頭澆下一桶冷水，表情僵在臉上。她下意識地撐起身子站直，強裝鎮定地點點頭。39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuyA4RmbUDW
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ16Wp8YKKNP
「……好。」39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXjgVnaFons
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1FqI9q02aH
她低著頭轉身離開，腳步有些慌亂。背後的顧霆川站在原地，緊抿著唇，指節微微發白，像是用盡全力克制著什麼。39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgCglS7M6P2
韓甯甯牽著張裕希走在消防局外的步道上，允心落在他們身後幾步，低頭輕拍著白色的拉布拉多犬，眼角餘光卻仍忍不住回頭，看了眼那還站在原地不動的顧霆川。39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcpl9aeOBEF
顧霆川目送她們離開，身上的汗還未乾，卻有一種說不出的煩悶與沉悶壓在胸口。39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsfo8j1EbAI
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZmunVbt9Ik
張裕希這時不知何時回頭，又折返回來站在他身側，語氣懶散卻藏著幾分笑意：「你剛剛那一抱不錯啊，手伸得比我還快。」39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx5oTNfosPx
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRDkFz9P9Oi
顧霆川冷著臉沒回應，只淡淡掃了他一眼。39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxcWIozVMNp
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8bSa6B1uRv
張裕希挑眉，語帶調侃：「怎麼？英雄救美完就變臉，裝冷漠啊？你這樣，人家女孩會傷心的。」39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKxhVUvdeiF
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCXnulsFH6p
顧霆川喉結微動，語氣平淡：「你不是說你女朋友在外面等？少管閒事。」39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBo4HGLIH5X
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvViLEpuGsS
張裕希聳了聳肩，笑得自在：「我看你這不是冷淡，是怕認真吧？怕自己要是跨一步，會陷得比誰都深。」39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdZYkt8P53n
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvFAcxbhoTG
顧霆川默然，指尖下意識地摩挲著褲縫，一言不發地望向遠處那道已經走遠的纖細背影。39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbdvhIZkIUH
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ53A9OFwfGw
張裕希不再笑了，語氣難得正經：「你不是什麼都敢衝嗎？火場敢進、危樓敢爬，偏偏，遇到感情就這麼退縮？」39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKFaRTdohs5
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1Qsl7bcry4
顧霆川眼神閃了閃，仍舊一言不發。但那沉默，像是心裡早已有了答案，只是還不敢承認。39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCjjzBeHqeP
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJpeZrHNHXb
張裕希拍拍他的肩，低聲道：「別讓她等太久。」39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡepeAzlvBDY
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXTUjgbwNTk
說完，他轉身離開，留下顧霆川一人站在原地，靜靜地看著遠方，胸腔像是壓著一團火，燒得他難以呼吸。39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡomyylhwHQ8
