「唉！」Alice望著天空上一朵很像飛機形狀的大白雲，深深嘆了一口氣。153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdQ92dRLNOk

「放假為什麼還在嘆氣，要好好享受假期呀。」Betty一口咬下Alice弄的蛋腿三文治。153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFqmcEZqutJ

秋天的天空很晴朗，沒有什麼雲朵，偶爾會有幾隻七彩的鮮艷風箏飛翔在蔚藍天空裡，配上清涼微風，是個很合適野餐的日子。153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7bh9pwBSAs

Alice和Betty就在海旁的大草地上坐著和躺著，她們鋪了一塊藍白色橫條紋的大布塊，上面放滿著她們昨晚精心製作的食物：壽司、煎餃子、藍莓布丁等等……153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm4qt0rT7kG

Alice坐起來，臉色一沉：「今天要去爺爺的八十歲壽宴，到時又要與一眾親戚見面，被拷問一堆問題，光想像已經很難受。」153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1dSVpPzdnt

Betty的長髮被風吹得有點微亂：「我明白！但別人要怎樣說是他們的事情，不須把他們的話放心上，我們清楚知道自己是誰就行了。」153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAPNc2Pih84

下午4時，Alice媽媽催促著Alice，他們快到出門的時間了：「Alice快點呀！我們不能遲到，不然不知道別人會怎樣說我們，我們會被看笑話的。」153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnHETui3aT7
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHJNeMmAevq
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTKftjCR6WJ
Alice聽到媽媽又一味只提「別人」，做什麼都只是猜疑他人對自己的想法，只在乎別人的一切，她心裡就蘊釀著不爽。她想為自己而活，不想活在他人眼光底下被猜疑控制。153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkkR0uNIHDv

家裡的裝潢都是由Alice媽媽一人決定的，買什麼傢俱和擺設，她都是以「別人會不會覺得我很有品味」的眼光來挑選。深藍色的沙發是因為Alice媽媽的同事說沙發要買深藍色才時尚、粉紅色的廚具是因為她的舊同學說多用粉紅色的東西能保持少女心……153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNZyaegssrp

Alice媽媽反應很大：「哎呀！不知道親戚們會不會喜歡妳穿粉紅色，他們長輩比較喜歡吉利的大紅色呀。」所以她自己就穿了一身紅，儘管她沒有很愛這種喜慶紅色。153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsw2nXrv8B8

Alice媽媽完全沒把話聽進出：「才怪。別人都會看我們，我們會被他們取笑和在背後說壞話的。」她討厭看到別人否定和厭惡她的臉容。153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXleoVcEu76

他們到了生日宴的場地，場面佈置得紅噹噹，滿是鮮紅色的氣球，台側放著一個大壽桃形狀的大蛋糕，氣氛也非常熱鬧，一眾親戚都在裡面交頭接耳地聊天，但……153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD9ORGoXsM6

酒樓內的親戚們，都變成了各式各樣的……怪獸。他們都還有本來樣子的一些眉目，但是Alice看到姑媽的眼睛變了三顆，頭頂長了一根天線，手腳變了鴨子的模樣，而堂兄的嘴巴變了鳥嘴，耳朵變很巨型，還有其他眾多的親戚，樣子都變得不尋常了。153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOXMBbUzjtS

姑媽一看到Alice一家進場，視線迎上，就馬上走向他們。153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ87IXURVkbg

153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡszuvHf8xrL
Alice看到姑媽——翠環三隻眼睛看她的眼神都沒有異樣，還熱情地主動擁抱了爸爸一下。Alice看到自己老爸驚慌到不行，臉色發白，身體僵硬的縮著。153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyJLAXL3nP0

Alice幫爸爸打圓場：「沒有啦，爸爸他腸胃不舒服，肚子痛而已。」她努力維持平靜，但她感受到自己的視線還是忍不住飄向翠環姑媽的三隻眼睛上。153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiCWaBcgqTe

他們坐下來，先倒了一杯熱茶安定心神。Alice的媽媽維持鎮定與其中的親戚互相交代近況，表面上是關心，實際上是競爭和試探。153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXOibXPCol9

這位親戚好像是Alice爸爸的堂哥吧，五十多歲，染黑了的頭髮和雙手佈滿閃亮的鱗片，看得Alice覺得好刺眼。153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD4DpgcKBo2
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8d3Yc2kSA2

鱗片親戚藏不住驕傲地炫耀自己兒子的成就，豪邁地大聲說：「我兒子啊，已經買了一層豪宅給我們一家人住，還購買了水晶紅酒杯套裝給我，真是孝順到不得了啊。」153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH2GiNGIB10

153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSdHjWNL0QP
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjZtsGkj5iN
鱗片親戚沉默下來：「呃……」他想不起來自己的兒子幾歲了，畢竟他有三個「老婆」，兒女也有好幾個。所以他話峰一轉，問起Alice的事情來：「那妳女兒呢？做什麼工作呀？交男朋友了嗎？」153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡluiKOEbiUJ
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrePOKe9Vgg
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe4Gfpzeaiq
Alice心裡開始難受起來，親戚必問的無聊問題又來了，而她媽媽又要準備自貶身價了。153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWCvORdQ1aa
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyPDMAjh1aP
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcOOCEqSxrw
果然，Alice媽媽開始樂在其中自貶起來：「哎呀，我們沒你那麼好，沒買房子，女兒又說要拼夢想，不想花時間交男朋友。」153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRYggTVBpe5

Alice不認同他人將他自己的價值觀硬放別人身上，氣上心頭：「每個人要的東西都不一樣，女人也可以活得很獨立，追求自己的人生目標，而不是只是依賴男人，盲目結婚。」153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP4FyJPcn2D
