「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。416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCnYAZm045W

「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。416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpoGzllxi9n

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。416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5uGchKLKRr

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……416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9hsh2ejuij

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。」416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTKwYFyvyjV

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。」416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxGYxwlCfJC

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。」416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs8TyCs4aAj
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqAgiac3U0o
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡie80ozCiF7
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。416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ86CfmHPS4n
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6AIztyAAle
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ45SuAzhbWV
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……416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnl2plbKk1n

Alice急腳換上粉紅色的連身裙，再加上一件白色外套。416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP8r7BJbxCm

「我好了啦，不要再催促我了。」Alice不情願地開門走出客廳。416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuvv0Ch5hPR

416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVO87vIYpEf
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。416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7SzBXY2B1r

「對，衣服是穿在我身上，我自己喜歡就行了。」Alice嘗試堅定自己的選擇。416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ98f9p8jwaE

416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ90NU1epsv7
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。416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd4MawTRGLy

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……416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM8qCbvSO6U

Alice媽媽聲音有點震顫：「我……我……有看錯嗎？還是……我們去錯了地方……」416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6JVEPFgNbx
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcgjRhz2K59

416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKVESsYCiLW
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。416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ66ObpsMsue
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡui8yMXEH6s

姑媽一看到Alice一家進場，視線迎上，就馬上走向他們。416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbULbIit5G0
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaUu62x5wVa
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8mnbZ4j3BM
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。416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeU0qHrL2QK
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡindhYlgiEV
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVIsY42hX2S
翠環發現Alice爸爸神情不對勁，立即調侃他：「怎樣了嗎？不願意看到我嗎？」416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9xDaXo9IZJ
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXtXzqs3fMd
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRUd53SFyJh
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。416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx3YZeye4o4

Alice一家三口有共同的默契，就是盡力裝作一切正常，畢竟還逗留其中，剛到就拔腿就跑不是很有風度。416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSsKT8PlB9w
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWrg7KkC2n5
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbMf37MDsXn
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。416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAlWmueZgVN
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAoYHiKKmfa

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。416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG7dJmuU4CB
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaFJZrPO0iG
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZayQaFOBFF
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。」416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeMcXafMNPZ

Alice媽媽也是懂得和別人打交道的人，她笑嘻嘻配合：「是嗎？真厲害！那你兒子今天有來嗎？讓我們看看這位優質男呀。」416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTeoMiIXpb6
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYgWZrEwt9H

Alice媽媽看出他們父子好像沒有很親：「喔，也是，要賺錢嘛。那他年紀多大？沒記錯應該三十出頭吧？真是年輕有為。」416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKr7541An2g
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtY7M7qdMyC
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJNxr8mAmwd
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？」416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCTHy5WLmUP
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSvxFSeP6Fe
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN9iDxRkuUC
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。416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡADX6EmgVZT
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtsUwKxsNb3
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz15Ud23D37
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。」416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡigGM7vJP5c
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUTm0KGpXGf
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmjsO1T26U7
鱗片親戚開始更加自信起來：「那可不行呀，女人最終還是要嫁人的啊，快交個有錢有房子的男朋友，之後結婚生子吧。」416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvMjaNrB86I
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7oZmvvzKNO
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBnuhAuWNXM
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。」416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR0jNuiEXsT

Alice媽媽整理身上和場地很襯色的紅衣服，輕描淡寫：「我說呀，妳何時才要交男朋友？我又給別人取笑女兒還沒嫁啦，妳不結婚會讓別人覺得很奇怪的呀。」416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9XkVxLfIy7
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡngcfNvLllp
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWctxX3WuCT
Alice好想哭：「這麼在意別人，妳沒飯吃，別人會給飯妳吃嗎？別人把妳當飯後話題說說就扔掉了，才不會把妳放心上。我的人生是我自己的，學習為自己而活吧。」416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡREkPJYTBEM
