落地玻璃窗拉上夜幕，城市的燈光像在黑布上打翻了彩虹糖。385Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUkEvZWu1BL
動物園的野獸們都回森林了，剩冬穗一個還在座位埋頭苦幹。辦公室只有她頭上的燈管亮著，像舞台上的聚光燈，不同的是，這台獨角戲沒有觀眾。385Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzdRCUWbyjF
385Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwAMTqLnSGk
「冬~穗~」385Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaAgdd11OcD
385Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqsA9ji7reO
她懶得回頭，任由不速之客霸佔桌面的一角放手袋。她拉來電腦椅，坐到旁邊。385Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYEdmyokaTT

「咖啡，無糖的。」385Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoL75JgMlFM
385Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIe38jtVJiC
「謝謝。」眼睛甚至沒有離開螢光幕半分，她伸手接住遞來的罐裝咖啡，小吮一口便放下，手放回鍵盤。385Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7ns4QpBEAP

噠噠噠噠噠噠噠噠噠噠噠噠噠……385Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN0FoH7ehsA
385Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡidJ7vT5M82
空氣實在太安靜，反而讓冬穗在意起來。她轉頭，剛好和千的視線撞個正著。她蹺住腳，手肘撐膝蓋，單手托腮。385Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQuTlJBmsh0

「不分享你的追星經歷嗎？」385Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyiwgXgQelv
385Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV5bIeiQpEr
「我不想吵住你工作。」385Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkUutjM1mIt
385Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgay0irp7mQ
「我這邊差不多了，你可以暢所欲言。」385Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu4GY1an20e
385Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6ggx4FM7dj
「嗯嗯。」千搖頭，｢等你完成。｣385Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVYbUCAmygK

噠噠噠噠噠……385Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpAfEK2GDP4
385Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFeJh8Byucb
「先休息一會吧。」冬穗按著痠痛的脖子說。385Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhW7fJD3QnV
385Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH7JIzprq0g
「剛才說『差不多』是騙人的。」千癟嘴皺眉。385Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1SKNa2b7Az
385Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf4SUIGGx6l
「喵哈哈，被抓到了。」385Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlIiFO0AS7k
385Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF1PGALmn5l
千從手袋裡拿出一個保溫盒，打開後香氣四溢，熱騰騰的章魚丸光是外觀就足以勾起食慾。她給自己開了一罐咖啡味能量飲品。二人圍在桌邊，分享宵夜。385Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsBnBfINxkI
385Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEKqiTFB6zH
「嗯喵？這個章魚丸味道怪怪的？」冬穗看著咬了半口的丸子，確認裡頭是不是變壞了。385Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2mqJKKdNb9
385Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS2XrX2uyKc
「哇！那顆是我的！」千的表情突然變得歉疚，｢這邊這排是放了訊息素給仿真人吃的。對不起，我沒有事先說明。別擔心，訊息素對人體無害。｣385Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ16MJ6xfFPX
385Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5e5yaHBzpO
冬穗望著丸子若有所思。仿真人不能抽煙；食物會有怪味；恐怕喝多少酒也不會醉。成為仿真人後很多以前視為理所當然的事都不能做。385Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwoNwPPBdVs
385Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNvEaGjYdFo
想到仿真人的自己要一生承受這些不便，而原型的她卻過得好好的，感覺對另一個自己很不公平。當時去做靈魂倒模的決定實在缺乏詳細考量。385Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMGKaAGlWlo
385Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkNafM7HxI5
千握住冬穗手腕，將丸子送進自己嘴裡。385Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTsL8J4gbDY
385Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfBPucrHtre
「有冬穗的味道。」385Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ33ZYaPZnL
385Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuDCXkwxEO5
「抱歉。」385Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyjrUN2hxAR
385Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcfKFPuhy2c
千一臉迷茫，不知所措，「不用道歉，逗你玩的啦。」385Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAHt4AQ0tK7
385Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw31kiZ3B4J
冬穗顯得沒精神，千關心的把手放到她膝上。385Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTZ6hR1KaO1
385Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTXq0nHwSg2
「我說，冬穗，不如辭職……好嗎？」385Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsFLw9R7l1w
385Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNVnTn4rQG9
「話題跳太遠了吧。」她串了另一顆丸子吃下，｢你以為我因為加班而沒精打彩嗎？不是啦，我在想事情。況且，我沒有辭職的理由。｣385Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsRhXYUz9F8
385Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1CmGmGoPTN
「為甚麼？靈魂倒模讓你賺了一大筆酬金。你可以換一份更輕鬆的工作。」385Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs9gbyr4K1m
385Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi5m4anA3ce
「那筆錢不是我自己用的。我家有四個弟弟，這筆錢要用來供二弟讀書。」冬穗為接下來的說話深吸口氣，壓住情緒，避免語氣太高昂：
｢我的父母，有嚴重的重男輕女思想。弟弟們已成年卻可以整天無所事事。而我，老媽總是嫌我的家用不夠，又懷疑我把大部份薪水藏起來。然後，老是催我嫁人，三不五時要我跟所謂的『金龜婿』相親。｣385Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdLINErEnZR
385Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWkFmjVl6vR
冬穗把手置於千的臉上，那吹彈可破的嫩肌，難以想像是無機物，｢接受與你同居，一部份的理由是為了氣老媽。這樣的一個家裡，唯有二弟最有上進心，這筆錢足夠供他完成大學學位。以後由他接手養家，到時我的人生才真正的自由。｣385Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCOQFH1S9o0
385Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdfTkuGBgNd
「冬穗，辭職吧，我養你。」385Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEfrZcJDm95
385Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsmWFDl6HT9
千的眼睛寫著堅定。冬穗失笑，像對方說了很棒的笑話。385Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9ypjpd5hyi
385Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1jjZJKDgBb
「假如我不在公司，以後就沒有人幫你擋了。」385Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5td3aYbEID
385Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8YF4imnDAJ
冬穗輕推千的後腦勺，讓她枕到肩上。385Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4VMV4Rt09J
385Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNwhxCQmQqT
「這個社會只有野獸和農作物，小千還是適合待在温室裡呢，外面的世界對你來說太嚴苛。」385Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsL0UONtSVG
385Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgtLfLvq7E4
「我知道自己很笨，就算被欺負也懵然不知。但是，我不想冬穗繼續活得那麼苦。」385Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV8xAA7ydxl
385Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgk09kkWQ42
「不苦，因為有小千在。」385Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDLIJ14JjZI
385Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrKEa7Ub9cL
「冬穗眼中的我是甚麼？」385Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwgX4pu5NWs
385Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqj9DVupSVn
「你猜。」385Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGeWS015Yet
385Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡipnfSR1wve
「雞？」千說罷不禁苦笑，揮動兩肘模仿拍翼，｢只要會下蛋，其他都不重要。｣385Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡchsql7oBQY
385Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVqaGTpYAkR
「不對。」385Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl7HzHtVLou
385Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyp43aGYp4B
「是甚麼？」385Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNypl08R7zf
385Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyYDc6hLGtP
「不~告~訴~你~喵~」385Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrwwdpMrveM
385Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa13gp8xfIA
休息時間結束，冬穗又回去跟工作搏鬥。385Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBfC5drp1jk
385Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqoRzCSfrr2
千串著最後一顆章魚丸子，竹籤在手中轉來轉去。385Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuDUNsMBPf0
385Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF35RtRaBW8
「既然冬穗也成為仿真人，我們的分身有機會在另一個地方再相遇嗎？」385Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgZTcoXqQNC
385Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiC4k9r46or
「你是高等仿真人，我是仿真情人，身份差太遠不可能相見。而且，你的原型不認識我，沒有我們相處的記憶，就算見到面也是陌生人。」385Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNbLHg82gdz
385Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7prwZLSPqM
「但是，你會記得我。仿真情人的認知會被修改，不過記憶會保留住。冬穗眼中的世界如此獨特，有可能因此認得我嗎？」385Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgqStu3J1s4
385Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ1IcUa86IH
千的表情像極了向大人討糖果的小孩，聽到『不』就會哇哇大哭的樣子。385Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjDMMYj5jk3
385Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6OJyj3SsE6
「一定認得，因為小千的樣子如此特別啊。」385Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdt8gMlZl3T
385Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmxOvmJ7nzg
冬穗忍不住搓揉她的臉孔，讓眼睛都瞇成線條。385Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡItyInNslB3
385Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUliUAYdWrF
「要是認出了，一定要來見我啊。讓我再次認識冬穗。」385Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAg38zbiMV4
385Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKsPHCUQAGV
「嗯喵~假如是街頭轉角的程度的話，就來跟你相認吧！」
