夜晚的雪靜靜落下，將整座城市覆上一層柔白。39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7SZMzLUQrH
這是一場突如其來的雪，並不在天氣預報裡。地上的積雪尚淺，卻已足夠讓街燈的光折射出淡淡的銀輝。39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEZ5i54oyKI
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL4YB33NUra
微瀾踩在雪地上，靜靜地走著，腳步放得很慢。39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5tl7MzRngj
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4JWUuBKyzP
她回來，已經快兩年了。39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIUxDjwI5HS
這段時間，她適應了新的研究環境，也重新融入這座城市的節奏。39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ63UbejFny0
而她再次見到許墨，則是半年前的事。39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6OAJle4SpI
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCKYM8ZAXQp
這半年多來，他們並非完全沒有聯繫，偶爾會因為工作碰面，或者在學術會議上短暫交談。39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3xd5puYZti
但他從未強求，也從未催促。39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTUPbRqmId5
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZsjTYMuPIi
就像現在，這是許墨第一次正式約她吃飯。39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8SE4wBppbx
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0raGwrCZ5e
沒有刻意選擇什麼特別的地方，也沒有安排複雜的行程。39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaF76j2tQAV
他只是簡單地說：「一起吃晚餐吧。」39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq39RlHLEsg
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRgn26xc15m
就像過去無數個夜晚，他們結束一天的工作後，隨意挑間店坐下，像普通的戀人一樣，度過一個再平常不過的夜晚。39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKvBvquRfMI
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJhU6JVzJ4F
但他們都知道，這次不同。39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt3OsimEgx5
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBL2myPdcBu
晚餐後，許墨沒有急著送她回去，而是提議散步。39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSSLkddcmvE
微瀾沒有拒絕，就這樣跟著他，走過熟悉的街道，走進這場未曾預料的雪夜。39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjVUkmGcChQ
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw1cswbHSlV
「有點冷。」微瀾輕輕呼出一口氣，看著白霧在空氣裡散開。39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgiTw0kaj7J
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy9Xzdre8vP
許墨微微側過身，視線落在她微微蜷縮的指尖。39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡModwh9Y7Em
他沒有說話，只是順勢將自己的圍巾解下，輕輕地替她圍上。39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3MPDJ1nV0S
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFT3QmvmtZl
「……你不冷？」微瀾偏頭看向他。39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9t1FoAOzKO
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgsAKXFmSvU
「還好。」他的語氣平靜，語速一如往常，卻帶著一絲淡淡的柔和。39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbecMXvIbRH
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8wCJqViI16
微瀾沒有再說什麼，輕輕地拉了拉圍巾的邊角，感受著上面殘留的些許體溫。39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqlgWZMt8lP
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRpiAFNlF5Y
這是一種陌生的親密感，像是過去，卻又比過去更接近，近到讓人無法忽視。39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCKERDOddVx
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCS6rNnG3nY
許墨側過頭，看著她低垂的側臉，輕聲道：「這是妳回來後，第一次和我這樣散步。」39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡElJqJM6ZWg
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ76zm0F3kqJ
微瀾頓了一下，沒有否認。39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrU2nc5QdXW
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwM5WLZmOba
畢竟重逢後，他們一直維持著微妙的距離，既不疏遠，卻也不曾像現在這樣走在一起。39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZr7NWeVCFm
許墨沒有催促她，也沒有刻意去製造「再一次」的開始。39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcYP3Q7GxFh
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡekM1Kc0YzR
他就只是……陪著她。39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0A1uBlZ7I5
讓她慢慢地去適應，慢慢地去思考，甚至——慢慢地去決定。39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6EbZehSkTN
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoOddgDmDQ3
這樣的許墨，是過去從未有過的。39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡku1GsgUVCS
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRdyfNBz1wF
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeom3xRWzbX
「那天在機場，」他忽然低聲道，「我其實一直在等。」39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5d7sF20gc1
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw9ZD6Nsou3
「等什麼？」微瀾輕輕側過頭。39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJvUcW8dLH4
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhbOc1LwZWJ
「等妳帶著行李來找我。」他的語氣淡淡的，像是在陳述一件已成過去的事，「但妳沒帶。」39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCyEWLQAWIE
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxnrVP6C9se
微瀾微微睜大眼，指尖無意識地收緊了一瞬。39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSgwYX4xKQP
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxKWnkXYAwh
「其實那天，當我看到妳空著手走來時，」許墨頓了一下，嘴角泛起一絲極淺的苦澀笑意，「我有一瞬間……想問妳是不是來告別的。」39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDQxAEMxczt
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQcFNjfQZov
「……」微瀾低下頭，心裡莫名泛起一絲悶痛。39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwA2ff6g31t
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe82f0VQQqM
她當時確實沒有想太多，甚至沒有意識到，自己空著手走進機場，對許墨來說意味著什麼。39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoDKdmcmAcy
因為她當時的確還沒有決定——39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrzGAwzdQUI
她還不確定，她是否準備好，再次選擇他。39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKqTXd7ghj8
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwIoKTtDeUQ
「但後來呢？」她低聲問，「你還是沒有問。」39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY5W1g3Ygun
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwhosAmrJg2
「因為妳來了。」許墨語氣輕柔，眼底浮現一抹淡淡的溫暖，「所以，不管是什麼答案，我都願意等。」39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPQFaRdghqL
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuiKocGowDJ
微瀾的指尖微微顫了一下。39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyZXHdhiFZ0
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9karacxtMG
這次的許墨，真的不同了。39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMuTGYihCno
過去的他，習慣掌控所有變數，習慣在所有選擇裡找到「最優解」，但現在的他，卻能夠接受「未知」，甚至願意把選擇權完全交到她手上。39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvTnVrHCZa8
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF3JBPRI1We
她忽然覺得，心底某個角落被輕輕觸動了。39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhVKTKpYczw
——這樣的他，是她曾經不敢奢求的。39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWISmJg05jK
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuvTclNClLL
她深吸了一口氣，停下腳步。39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4PkXZaEXxy
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMB1hfgWIZK
「許墨。」39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzf6VWiuY4X
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvGGQ01cNuH
他也隨之停下，看著她微微抬起頭，對上他的視線。39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK7RHBpPMpE
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3E5igBJvVy
「如果……」她的聲音輕得像是怕驚擾了什麼，「如果我說，我選擇你——」39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡezwP4DNADP
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc6jmjHJgn2
她的話還沒說完，許墨的瞳孔微微一縮，下一秒，他已經猛然站起，將她緊緊擁入懷裡。39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYyNqQuGRGn
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpXWDtBCHrG
許墨的手指緊扣著她的背，指節微微泛白，像是要將她刻進生命裡。39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVkq2hMoUxw
他的呼吸微微顫抖，像是在壓抑某種深埋已久的情緒。39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCATPP7KGvq
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpuFfWz5TKd
那個力道，幾乎能將她完全鎖進他的世界裡。39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuXb5GnNrAS
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQKNSO02ql0
微瀾怔了一瞬，還沒來得及反應，便感覺到他的手緊緊地摟住了她，像是要確認她真真切切地站在這裡，而不是他一場過於美好的夢。39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgbcR4Pum8B
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRcPP92EBr4
「微瀾……」他的聲音低啞，帶著極力壓抑的顫抖，「我等這句話，等了太久。」39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiuripXdFIV
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd6Sgsrn2Lc
她沒有問他「還願不願意」。39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmr6BTU2GEy
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhuoV9Vn5ni
因為她知道，這個問題根本不需要問。39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh9X8kbw3pJ
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjoNHBt22HC
他沒有變過，從頭到尾，唯一在變的，只有她的選擇。39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcxqUkQOhKT
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjCk1MWl7XV
但這一次，是她真正選擇他。39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgQZRVgn6wN
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8K2Q6U2dtt
微瀾感受到他懷抱的顫抖，終於，緩緩地，抬手回抱住他。39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW8DlNGmUTH
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ781NSQNbTa
夜裡的雪仍在靜靜地落下，覆蓋住他們的腳印，像是將過去所有的遺憾，埋進這片純白之中。39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWfKIG51smt
