蔡沁芸回到家裡時，看見哥哥已提著行囊從台北回來，正坐在沙發上正與爸爸聊天熱烈地談論著話題。71Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbaSLIGa6Bl
71Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrqEsvkjJIV
　　「沁芸啊，買個菜怎麼去那個久，我正想叫妳哥去找妳呢。」蔡明吉看著女兒回來，關懷地問道。71Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg4ocpFUJpN
71Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxQZradlpBi
　　「沒什麼，剛巧遇到朋友不小心聊太久了。」她眼光瞟向蔡炎璋，敷衍說道。 71Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjosRQS2R2t
71Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAw0n0sytyg
　　「我幫妳把菜放進廚房，今天就看哥哥的手藝有沒有退步。」蔡炎璋唇角微勾，親暱地摸摸她的頭，將她手中的菜籃提往廚房裡去。71Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKB2bLniujb
71Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN23eZPAgWq
　　蔡沁芸看著他的背影很想追上去把心底的疑惑問清楚，卻不知如何開口，心想還是等一下吃完晚餐再問吧。71Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6B3YRWRB6v
71Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiCTznO5f8a
　　用餐時，蔡炎璋和蔡明吉聊天談時事，眼角餘光注意到妹妹有一口沒一口地吃著飯，好像沒什麼胃口，便舉著挾菜到她碗裡。71Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVclA1mHYtk
71Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLvoP19Fuxq
　　「多吃點，這是妳愛吃的菜。」蔡炎璋朝她溫情一笑。71Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsi2sJ6hLa5
71Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5vj7p7ShSP
　　「……謝謝。」她低聲道謝，埋頭吃著碗裏的飯菜。71Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaxsliz2URM
71Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWtwH6o6p8e
　　這頓飯讓她食不下嚥吃得萬分難受，雖然她知道哥哥對她有時是保護太過度了，總是以他的想法認定事物才是對她好的，不過她已經長大了，這種情況應該要改善了，所以她必需要問清楚到底是怎麼回事？71Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5cVkKKmnF5
71Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡExpzbzSxkj
　　打定主意後，她對蔡炎璋問道：「哥，有時間嗎？我有話要問你。」71Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMPoPZ0f7o5
71Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxNtNNBQjF8
　　「什麼事？」71Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqcCO9I1QeE
71Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1pEji2E1TV
　　「我們到書房再說。」71Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxROXKXgoQn
71Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfjVfxmfOix
　　飯後正在跟弟弟閒聊的蔡炎璋見她一臉嚴肅的表情，似乎有很重要的事情要談，便點頭起身隨她到書房談話。71Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPB2v7cCIjX
71Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡetllOYxYiU
　　「說吧。」蔡炎璋坐在椅子上，雙手環胸，注視著她。71Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLWupiq8WUt
71Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI112pUVi65
　　「哥哥，三年前你是不是有什麼事情騙我？」她試探地問，希望他能坦白的告訴她。71Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFY6DcNh5Uh
71Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcIdPgdemDw
　　蔡炎璋抬了抬眼鏡，心中打了一個突，揚起眉說。「我有騙妳什麼？妳怎麼會這麼問？」71Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ40kBuiaY2j
71Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF7tfBLEqVH
　　「記得三年前我問過你羅瑋跟一個女孩的關係是什麼？你告訴我說她跟羅瑋是男女朋友，還記得嗎？」蔡沁芸圓瞪著眼，深吸口氣提醒他道。71Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjwix3KkiwN
71Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjP4xYcnf1s
　　「我有這麼說嗎？還有妳這是什麼口氣，都過去多久的事情，為何現在來問我這問題？」蔡炎璋不悅地沉下口氣道。71Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkLWSNOY6eV
71Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqaRYIgRq8c
　　「今天我遇見一個女子，她的名字是陳姿樺。」她緊盯著他的眼眸，想看出他對這名字有什麼反應。71Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKBQSkNZnXL
71Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMeFlzgQSnO
　　「然後呢？」他極為鎮定地挑了挑眉，聳肩道。原來是遇見她，所以才來找他質問。71Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfgt6gwgx9i
71Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZuOuZwQ79A
　　「我都知道了，她跟羅瑋是表兄妹。所以當初你騙我，害我以為他們是男女朋友。」她揚高聲量，很不悅地說。71Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhkQ9xX46je
71Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOFuh7fBqZU
　　他嘆了口氣，手肘著下巴看她，強調道。「我從來沒說他們是男女朋友啊，我只說『他們的關係很親密』記得嗎？」71Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJuOFTF5g5f
71Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡztTth31VrN
　　這話堵得她無話可說，卻又怒氣難平。71Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3S1tvj3QfP
71Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsQutFY4nqX
　　「你好詐，故意誤導我。」她圓瞪著眼，生氣地道。71Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwWTvBe7SVc
71Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrbzF7i811e
　　明明就知道他們的關係，就不會老實說呀，故意耍弄自己的妹妹看她傷心難過很好玩嗎？71Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ16UX9jNMs8
71Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcc5ff98RQd
　　那陣子她有多難過，他一定都看在眼裡，卻憋著不解釋清楚。71Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXta7QXNrZp
71Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbScSDM9WC5
　　那有人這樣對待自己的妹妹的！71Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGzjh0bPcs5
71Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfTEEXoaW1B
　　「妳是我妹，年紀還小，正值讀書的重要時刻，就算那時告訴妳，又怎樣？」蔡炎璋往後緊靠著椅背，沉重而嚴肅地道。71Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUbZ0f0aN7f
71Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQZesAP02O5
　　「那也應該要讓我自己去抉擇啊，就算那時我年紀小，但不代表我不懂得去分辨事情的好壞，我自己會有分寸的，你不信任自己的妹妹嗎？」71Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZa0uLyEHWE
71Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6A9utfdxvh
　　「我當然信任妳，可是事情若再來一次，我還是不讚同妳跟羅瑋太過親近。」他還是堅持己見。71Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGYyMFx0qjG
71Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRUrxgsRQNF
　　蔡沁芸深深吸了口氣，說：「好，那時的事就算了。現在開始我的人生要由我自己決定，我知道該如何做對自己最好，希望哥哥別在管我的事了。」71Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKiVb8c5bVA
71Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOaXBFdEOQb
　　「羅瑋他不適合妳。」他淡瞥了她一眼，加重語氣道。71Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLpU7l6w75o
71Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoKMCVnmTQY
　　「可是我喜歡他。」她也不甘示弱地強調。71Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRmg1jAUKOm
71Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRQAGup9Pbb
　　他的眉高高挑起，給與最後一擊。「但妳確定他也喜歡妳嗎？」冷言地諷了一句。71Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3QmmdiVu0b
71Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrhBlRg3Eew
　　「……」她再深吸口氣，咬牙地道：「那就是我的事，你管不著。」說完，踩著重重的腳步，打開門離去。71Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm3W6dz8RHn
71Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡojYSTiPVNr
　　從那天起，直到過年期間，兩兄妹開始陷入冷戰。不過大部分時間蔡炎璋都待在台北，回家的次數沒有很多，每當他回家，蔡沁芸吃完飯後便待在房裡不跟他說話，或出去外面，讓他想要跟她和解都有點困難，不禁有些洩氣與難受。71Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOV6Sl6DyRA
71Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt6hpYWjGNK
　　他心想這種情況只是暫時的，兄妹總不可能一輩子都賭氣不說話吧，等她氣消再來跟她好好談談，反正現在他說什麼她一定都聽不進去。71Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaMVBwA5V8G
