到了花園家門口時，鈴蘭已經累得睡著了。321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTpRYzfeJmf
321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxsjDwr0Ejj
車裡一片安靜，只剩微弱的引擎聲與她平穩的呼吸。航一轉頭看著她的睡顏，眼神不自覺地溫柔下來。她的睫毛靜靜垂著，髮絲散落在肩頭，隨著呼吸微微起伏。他輕輕一笑，解開安全帶，下車繞到副駕一側。正準備俯身替她解開安全帶、順勢將她抱下車時——321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡccDzCC5dlP
321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYlS8WR8Jnb
一股味道撲進鼻尖。321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3nBLrzf1KX
321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrN9gwyrLj5
是菸。321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdHlfA7b0UU
321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJDa6xWnwB5
而且是那種，燃燒過的、仍帶著焦痕氣息的菸草味。321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi4K4xTCAr5
321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF5GcU5kkKJ
航一呼吸忽然一滯。是誰——誰碰了她？321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDlkW4vau1M
321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFEds7vFAyV
航一的動作在空中頓了一下。那味道熟悉得讓人無法忽略。他清楚，鈴蘭的那幾位朋友裡，沒有一個吸菸的。那麼……這味道，是從哪裡來的？321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2Ve7OnLBCl
321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOyzvZ9lWj3
他低下頭，視線落在她微微散亂的髮尾與衣袖上。淡淡的、卻明確的，是從她身上散出來的。321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPqmTAblbmb
321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz9ya9rGSFZ
航一的指尖微微一緊。他跟在大小姐身邊那麼多年，從未、一次都沒有在她身上聞過菸味。321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoi83o9LyJU
321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYzyE2hc59K
花園家的宅邸早已全面禁菸，除了老爺偶爾在書房裡抽雪茄，那是溫潤厚重的檀木香，與這種刺鼻、帶焦的味道完全不同。這味道瞬間把航一拉回了某個記憶的深處。321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6RYvG3OReW
321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7gk6xSxIJR
——殘影街的風俗店。321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6lNYtsCOhG
321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaL8HzRG5jm
321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkAUScM8EcC
那是他一輩子都不想再想起的地方。321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmzYpItTEQT
321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8lRVPQU2wq
航一幾乎不敢相信自己的嗅覺，卻又一次次確認。他俯下身，靠近她的髮梢、外套的領口，那股味道確實存在。321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaNfvun8VmI
321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡerGcMpkIQu
不只是菸草。還有一種男性古龍水的味道，帶著金屬般的冷香與夜風氣息。321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPUL92NC0lI
321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJcgGoftp48
航一的喉嚨微微收緊，心跳卻莫名加快。那一刻，他第一次覺得，這股氣味，比任何謎團都更讓人窒息。
321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDGqHBmrHW7
沒有照原本的習慣將她抱回房間。他站在車邊，靜靜地看了她一會兒，那股味道仍縈繞在鼻尖，揮之不去。321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡihcHBZuUGG
321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSV85BjcUnV
他需要確認。需要更多……「證據」。321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ57ckimQ18B
321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvsSoux2DQi
於是，他輕輕喚醒她。「大小姐，到家了。」321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkDnh4BmEf2
321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQnY5kyvilV
鈴蘭半夢半醒地睜開眼，睡眼惺忪地點了點頭，「嗯……謝謝你，航一……」321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwSUN810lPo
她搖搖晃晃地走進屋裡，回到房間。321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxIeLQngKAd
321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1i1H4lP4QG
不久後，傳來浴室水聲。她正在洗去旅途的疲憊，卻不知身後有人仍停在門外，神情陰鬱。321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHZQYB1PgQU
321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGDfu4pOZcm
航一拿起她方才換下的上衣。指尖觸到那布料，他幾乎立刻感覺到那股味道——殘留、明顯、無法否認。321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuecBWtxJVC
321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbM3oLVEnUT
他仔細地看、又一次聞。從衣袖到衣領，從肩線到發梢輕觸的地方，他不是在懷疑她，而是在壓抑自己的動搖。321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1yYbILvcT4
321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWKai8I0yVE
航一的眉心微微一緊。那味道並非只是待過某個有吸菸者的地方，它太近、太深、太明顯。321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeeGdc3x45U
321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡutHdHPzPC1
那不是「經過」，而是「被抱過」。味道附在她的肩線與衣領，像是被誰留下一瞬的殘影。321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzv9pQv2C7Q
321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3nnhnIW2P5
航一胸口微微發緊。這不是理性判斷，而是一種直覺。太熟悉她的氣味，也太清楚這股異味屬於他人。321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzxSbQhGJHY
321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5xOy9NkyZx
321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd4rHXYm1Ib
鈴蘭洗完澡後，整個人明顯精神多了。航一替她吹乾頭髮，她則打開手機，翻看旅途中拍的照片。321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkMkjXLO9fl
321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpZtekw655w
當然，她不可能留下任何有楓或其他男生的合照。她滑著螢幕，笑得天真無防備；而在她背後，航一的目光也靜靜落在那閃爍的畫面上，一張一張，他沒有說話，只是觀察。321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ21ImnFUxKi
321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2kYOxdE2xj
熱風機的聲音停止。航一拔下插頭，收起電線，動作一如往常般沉穩。他拿起梳子，為她整理微濕的髮絲。321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS6qNhZtaei
321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5rAXEZ8Jtx
「大小姐，這次旅行……開心嗎？」321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHggU7usHFz
「嗯，開心呀。航一要不要看照片？」321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLco0FYbqXt
「好呀，等一下讓我看看。」321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRqBTj4JkAm
321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcLBOuoQ8WV
他語氣平淡，但眼底沒有笑意。321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTy72IwbIiW
321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtr4SMwGEAz
片刻沉默。然後他忽然開口，低沉、克制。321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7XPMvzfba8
321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUqbT9f0OhO
「大小姐，今天——有人抱過您嗎？」321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbytMIXPh1h
321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTmLnCckS02
鈴蘭的指尖一僵。滑動的手停在半空，螢幕光映出她錯愕的表情。腦中一瞬間空白。321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMemmjVPFmv
321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmxSuHryU6g
「欸、欸？抱、抱？也是啦，跟柚香她們呀……」321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5MapgxwPFf
「是嗎？」321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnFb1AtDIMJ
「為、為什麼這麼問？」321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjOMinrd2ke
「柚香她們，有帶男朋友去嗎？」321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHGAvTkj1Em
「沒、沒有呀！就只有我們四個女生！」321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVDNKoA9pbG
321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwLRWzcG07Y
鈴蘭的腦袋瘋狂運轉，卻仍想不出自己哪裡露了餡。空氣忽然變得太安靜、太冷，連那一縷濕髮滑過肩頭的觸感，都讓她全身繃緊。321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaLZwNUFCCe
321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZGugBkfgwf
航一確實有看到，她和柚香她們在照片裡擁抱。難道那股味道，是從別人轉染過來的？柚香愛玩，若她抱過誰，又再摟了鈴蘭……321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5rOGETXfIo
321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvcWRrsOU9f
他眉頭深鎖，收好梳子，轉過身，腳步往門口移去，心裡卻亂得像被撕開。321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDxbTkR2Kic
321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡglJT6Za02B
不要再想了。321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoXfc4O6URu
321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡycAdufylLO
他在心裡一遍又一遍地告訴自己。可那股味道太明顯，像一道無形的刺，牢牢卡在腦海裡，讓他無法假裝什麼都沒聞見。321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBNae9oZ3sD
321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvkHPFcOrqv
「航一，等一下——」321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn89B3BJX8T
321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6X6GGJFgW7
他一怔。321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmT8CA7EcNh
321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoFaaXlyfBe
下一秒，從背後傳來柔軟的觸感。鈴蘭抱住了他。321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx49luPrSPo
321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSY9Bm3v4rz
還是——321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZMDq6nKQFy
一樣的溫度。321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn5ev0Yz0n8
一樣的力道。321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjxaJZlC5vR
一樣的熟悉。321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5GUxcwI3wy
321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡduyS3HETqA
今天卻讓他幾乎喘不過氣。321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh2UnKg9fTz
321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx6N8eULT3i
「我……很想你。」她的聲音貼在他背後，充滿甜膩，「今晚，可以留下來陪我嗎？」321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNBqG2mahm9
321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC9LPe3fdAc
321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1ywomsKLnN
