「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。45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXjdceqcwkb

「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。45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6EijRwK324

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。45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLg73zYAj1D

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……45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNiJUliSVCT

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。」45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVW9ERuWKqz

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。」45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr10AFR5CCw

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。」45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcdDvClOYfD
45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhl92NNfA2O
45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXymsmeGpsx
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。45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbEKPanaYmq
45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBDLLGzzWaB
45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK796zwlgVO
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……45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO7szWCW7Bi

Alice急腳換上粉紅色的連身裙，再加上一件白色外套。45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzPT2oQFlYg
45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDwtzQscJ0K
45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNa2XtrIjdJ
「我好了啦，不要再催促我了。」Alice不情願地開門走出客廳。45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4MyYOXOtiM

45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsGQvEjXmCa
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。45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5HWEGLBufU
45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhZQAdnJT5C

Alice爸爸幫口：「Alice自己喜歡粉紅色就行了。」45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9o463KSEf8
45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzw7q6lNQeS
45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsOqLesHYs0
「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。45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlCppIsaB7q
45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJGXR73cUUr
45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNmfd8uGQs8
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。45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQNLgdtIo5P

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……45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRw5hlnTHkq
45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW1HUgfmKI8
45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkFWkuViJji
Alice媽媽聲音有點震顫：「我……我……有看錯嗎？還是……我們去錯了地方……」45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHaOMsa9mRt
45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMNvtIMI4wq
45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcR69bA5uko
Alice爸爸也差點說不出話來：「我……也不知道……這是……變裝派對嗎？」45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM1zBN2LWoC
45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqapWD7Imcf
45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMp6TzitENO
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。45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3zPCbDEWz2
45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy0dYWQ6Ecj
45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTZI0ShjmW6
姑媽一看到Alice一家進場，視線迎上，就馬上走向他們。45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaZG0CRDgOd
45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjmdwlanrPz
45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKJztJrL3OI
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。45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9ZHQZjIDAw
45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQTT4qeeNG3
45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmrMWUwnGAc
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？」45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoKb6AbqjO0
45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPFUJJkXY7E
45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2u5Pq0lOGW
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。45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ15GcbgoCzc

45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKBuQqVQMKx
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。45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡILCoYOFmqf
45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz3FqBN2tUB
45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtFdYvDUmqE
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。45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT8qwxplcLM
45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡslQ7MrVOVQ
45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡppvDn1hioH
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。45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXiQnOnNaAz
45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX3UNaGf5ub
45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWUArxXtPgR
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。」45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwd9mAYKo9l
45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX6oRUzy9F2
45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkBXU3vSwk8
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。」45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoRlyeWwYlG
45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkiMJaGiIQY
45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLbzI6DeY9y
鱗片親戚哈哈大笑，像掩飾心裡的一點落寞：「哈哈，他工作很忙碌，沒時間呀。」45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7ypt6DqDCL
45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjX36GeMZWD
45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYHOyqUbETk
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。」45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd1SDuYgVBT
45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHVQK1xZOxV
45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrvDf33aeH3
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？」45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzV4syzqPv2
45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIcYzXZ6WNE
45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRe9uudyEsg
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。45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI1bMtJmUyR
45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXh4VQ1UXXH
45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBPWLkqYS5r
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。」45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8NskAW3WRC
45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOOTSJKUEHR
45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmiHj41J3UO
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。」45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu3CXncTr9K
45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3YzXRjHLXp
45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDkIkDMmnPg
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。」45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡckjOhH0b8a
45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWc8v9ZORLM

洗手間裡，Alice和媽媽一起在鏡子前補妝，也摸摸自己的臉頰，再三確認自己的樣子還是個「人」。45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtZBbi81Q30
45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMvh4G0cLa0
45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzxepv1fP5R
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。」45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCyRdK9mM0q
45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMMW4RD53of
45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4XNinijC8p
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。」45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuKXlYIvluv
45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLhiHm9krdI
45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHhGvz3NTGW
Alice還有一絲理性，有故意壓低聲線：「而且，現在明顯最有問題的是他們！以怪獸的怪異模樣出現都可以自在地活了。」45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiaHgwGY11t
45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxNLPv7YQzb
45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzhsfM2jAW0
Alice媽媽仍然故我：「對了，那他們會因為我們還是正常的人樣，和他們不同而覺得我們奇怪嗎？還是我們也要裝奇異？」好了，她補好她的唇蜜了。45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxebevHVuJW
45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYgKJ6fR45r

爺爺蹣跚地走向台上，同時現場演奏著歡樂的生日快樂歌，大家也配合拍手和唱著。45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCtOjxcijKJ

45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPk0qHGMVv5
Alice看到爺爺白髮多了，皺紋深了，但並沒有變成怪異模樣，雖然行動不如以往有活力，不過氣色蠻好的，她在心裡莫名的感動，好像在茫茫人海中找到知音似的。45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ38ySr54KpO

45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpbmSPd19Q6
