「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。397Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZI873iFLNk

「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。397Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe8vR9Bz2Ip

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。397Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRXPntZFJCD

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……397Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO89r3ciQQY

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。」397Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1n7VD3PAPK

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。」397Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEXt7YUJCt6

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。」397Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFaPix5cLYu
397Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsYJREQ3pE8
397Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzLm5Quibd1
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。397Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzKNH30CIRW

397Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7Nuj6A0510
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……397Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ29mlnCN2wh

Alice急腳換上粉紅色的連身裙，再加上一件白色外套。397Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwgKZBSsGMr

「我好了啦，不要再催促我了。」Alice不情願地開門走出客廳。397Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡomkpvksfJc

397Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuBb4VdsAyQ
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。397Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkRtbsCGIAA

「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。397Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhwJEtO8QIA
397Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo61tF036UY
397Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqhEHgkIhha
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。397Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjTFFj34PB6

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……397Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaug4LJk6e5
397Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDBtxaETL6B
397Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmO0BYHMDT5
Alice媽媽聲音有點震顫：「我……我……有看錯嗎？還是……我們去錯了地方……」397Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxRHdoYYRTQ
397Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyzKarPNaTE
397Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIbwoDqo3ca
Alice爸爸也差點說不出話來：「我……也不知道……這是……變裝派對嗎？」397Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb26wOP2Ugj

397Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLGiK0PtdST
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。397Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHYEZVyTBTv
397Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD6TQx5MgNk
397Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTwlMOHIh1Z
姑媽一看到Alice一家進場，視線迎上，就馬上走向他們。397Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv7mep0sqE4
397Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI3GY2ZK7FN
397Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡllqOvDYnj1
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。397Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYUJZgjQq1l
397Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4SMieKZCsg
397Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0BIfJrft7R
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？」397Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNKBACi1lEA
397Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw1iCEBE2st
397Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSAxzyZ40tI
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。397Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGV6PTTmvnf

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。397Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmFaZi4UsA0
397Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ34azvqAWuB
397Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1Bz68jLVEm
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。397Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWX96rqx6Di

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。397Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaOFPZSuPC6
397Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3XAb6QXWaU
397Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYky0y7bqGD
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。」397Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7YrKJTiXRq
397Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnYME0C5gg8

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。」397Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsskIyh841A
397Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtinqa1QlUu
397Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPpmx8Y5MQD
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。」397Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVbp56M7tzd

397Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpPmXDXWCQc
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。」397Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEBph3oD5La
397Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmtxft6yuOU
397Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYaXa5Ui0Ox
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？」397Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8woDkYnuCI
397Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqNwo6zUHXU
397Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCjEFAtIzJW
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。397Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ4gzcV0D75
397Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWp3iljHYXa
397Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzYPMpWV7I4
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。」397Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA4SmYtpKQf
397Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAJaAfyhXLa
397Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUNZi0MJFko
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。」397Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUPfkk8ehq8
397Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTNwEdsqvYt
397Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtdPSuAfKeb
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。」397Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxGCUhiOmHD

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」。397Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc2C8ZEed4i

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。」397Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqSXpvrOyKR
397Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe52o06w7EY
397Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOd7BGSQ4Ao
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。」397Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF20ZjMCDtL

397Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq6KiIZitNm
397Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwX9a0IWgKK
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。397Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7JBB8RUdeL
