夜晚的雪靜靜落下，將整座城市覆上一層柔白。68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8bYzYobDEX
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。68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXqHNKm3f6u
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNdApqBR1PL
微瀾踩在雪地上，靜靜地走著，腳步放得很慢。68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9fZawEkyo3
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ50MSecj62X
她回來，已經快兩年了。68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD8gy8m19fU
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。68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7aXibeErw6
而她再次見到許墨，則是半年前的事。68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAMyga38TEi
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9XwY3yWb21
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。68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNc4MoS1Qha
但他從未強求，也從未催促。68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlBJyeD0NoN
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUxW4X6PYsS
就像現在，這是許墨第一次正式約她吃飯。68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡus62d9VLfY
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI6d0a2fSpL
沒有刻意選擇什麼特別的地方，也沒有安排複雜的行程。68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0TX2VDwzUZ
他只是簡單地說：「一起吃晚餐吧。」68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLQgIMYXJUy
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2lauqS9d8C
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。68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpYc9Svg8Wx
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjOGkmu0iVO
但他們都知道，這次不同。68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ87oJz3y1Us
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOSaKjNt4up
晚餐後，許墨沒有急著送她回去，而是提議散步。68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtB8mOObGN0
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。68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡezyLUQERPR
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5yOrkj4Jx2
「有點冷。」微瀾輕輕呼出一口氣，看著白霧在空氣裡散開。68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwMS69sT9UA
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXeieMjVmSa
許墨微微側過身，視線落在她微微蜷縮的指尖。68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXS73ZFrsMi
他沒有說話，只是順勢將自己的圍巾解下，輕輕地替她圍上。68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0WGctaxk3Z
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm1CThk8ECR
「……你不冷？」微瀾偏頭看向他。68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ695fIenIvQ
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4vdUnJpRJT
「還好。」他的語氣平靜，語速一如往常，卻帶著一絲淡淡的柔和。68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoGMQqAm8PT
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzgPczdHrCH
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。68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCkrq0I1WIl
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3ltuUoLbyZ
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。68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOj3I22KHjc
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn3rvRgwbHH
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。」68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnCXtW0iZUu
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm3noTBCRd5
微瀾頓了一下，沒有否認。68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfO7k7WgKfc
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7T4nYC4zZC
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。68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlEszqem0J6
許墨沒有催促她，也沒有刻意去製造「再一次」的開始。68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDgD06tMUhJ
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCzijKWmrJ2
他就只是……陪著她。68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO9LvtzogDY
讓她慢慢地去適應，慢慢地去思考，甚至——慢慢地去決定。68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQfqAqr5P8w
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYi69OKxeBf
這樣的許墨，是過去從未有過的。68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqLCRF0dPze
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDoam3wuKDv
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoLZ7SQMESX
「那天在機場，」他忽然低聲道，「我其實一直在等。」68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK7kQLo46Fx
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCRGYwgGZGq
「等什麼？」微瀾輕輕側過頭。68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6IIRElZYew
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡus4XGxv6GZ
「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。」68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwCKJyJcco5
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZkkO68bUq2
微瀾微微睜大眼，指尖無意識地收緊了一瞬。68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9mVgfRJUJb
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡubGjBLJeFv
「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。」68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ91J938DSfl
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzr7Mun1UTt
「……」微瀾低下頭，心裡莫名泛起一絲悶痛。68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPOGZmcp2Zw
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOR7XP64H4H
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。68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNcGV2uWv42
因為她當時的確還沒有決定——68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA2r5lR42vt
她還不確定，她是否準備好，再次選擇他。68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM9V5kXOu4Y
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡILRl27yuYc
「但後來呢？」她低聲問，「你還是沒有問。」68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1cdYDH2ybj
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4oGHggvNQJ
「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。」68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk4VMaKOONx
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3z9lC7gUrr
微瀾的指尖微微顫了一下。68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUr89nbKvz0
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6l1b1A8AU9
這次的許墨，真的不同了。68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLUggUsSp65
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。68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzDEhtora8G
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0EYsJmggWo
她忽然覺得，心底某個角落被輕輕觸動了。68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAQK564YmG3
——這樣的他，是她曾經不敢奢求的。68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2OcX0uCAaC
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJWdqYoLkas
她深吸了一口氣，停下腳步。68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtzVp2Ra4Sv
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlNc2dmKAR0
「許墨。」68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡujYDFUmhNo
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHlWKpRC6O4
他也隨之停下，看著她微微抬起頭，對上他的視線。68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6V0oP54wb5
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPPRhEo0Ubo
「如果……」她的聲音輕得像是怕驚擾了什麼，「如果我說，我選擇你——」68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOa4wGpVK1Z
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpklPOC9RMQ
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。68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8mYQBN5zV3
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEuCNSXtWop
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。68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnhhfKKPTvi
他的呼吸微微顫抖，像是在壓抑某種深埋已久的情緒。68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgroMYR3W7V
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmRAWE1VYIk
那個力道，幾乎能將她完全鎖進他的世界裡。68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ06u4RniL8x
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLgpnxvAy0Q
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。68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTiclHeO8pd
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjTLARWMtJj
「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。」68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ81ZIVJP5X5
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvBDJMydk9J
她沒有問他「還願不願意」。68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4YcXjON63h
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa6rABMxWOc
因為她知道，這個問題根本不需要問。68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1UhJy2oUTm
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpwzsAEd55E
他沒有變過，從頭到尾，唯一在變的，只有她的選擇。68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ94ODPqnuIz
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNh0p4OOMOi
但這一次，是她真正選擇他。68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRPe3fnlYwL
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjv6iR4UYCv
微瀾感受到他懷抱的顫抖，終於，緩緩地，抬手回抱住他。68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUry6CCYPTY
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHbBqmGVXZ7
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。68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCtC8XrsrY2
