她提了兩個水桶，一口氣奔下教會前的沙灘。月光灑落在海面上，她褲腳捲起，踩進涼涼的潮水中，手不停地裝水——一次又一次，直到兩個水桶都滿了。103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh2bGQas6F1
103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfpmxbyGLWZ
她小跑步地回到山洞。那裡仍是安靜的，只有小油燈的火光在石壁上搖晃。人魚還躺在原地，沒動過。蘋果和藥丸依舊原封不動地擺在身旁。103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfylqgizg7Z
103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrt3fKIpRxK
他看起來虛弱，幾乎快融進岩地裡。103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡICnVTpGowl
103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡir5Tt8jDzx
「來了。」露蕾雅輕聲說，半跪在他身邊，先將一桶水緩緩倒在他身上。103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVArg6BNd9h
103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwa2AXFSa4Z
海水潑下的瞬間，他的身體像是觸電了一樣猛然顫動了一下——銀紫色的瞳孔瞬間睜開，唇色泛起紅潤，臉頰也明顯浮上血色，遲來的生命被重新點燃。103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuPg2TiMhha
103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡobEBycJD1W
他望著她，眼神明亮了許多，像在訴說「謝謝」，卻說不出口。103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhlCAsnIz9m
103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBJW6jvHP6u
露蕾雅愣住了一秒，然後恍然。103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3xZPqo5hzi
103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsBszL7eu1h
「原來你真的需要海水……」她喃喃低語，嘴角泛起微笑。103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ1yA6epT1X
103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1m2ng8FU9U
她沾濕毛巾，湊近他。「我幫你擦擦吧？會舒服一點。」103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkfZwgESAiz
103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxuqbTXCimi
沒想到她才剛伸手，人魚就忽然臉一紅，身體往後縮了一寸。103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4sM6AcRrF7
103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG3fBrXYuy6
她瞪大眼：「欸？難道我又猜錯了嗎？」103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq8nHpYLMsd
103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKHvbzSkdST
他卻又搖搖頭，眼神帶著掙扎，彷彿想要靠近，卻又不好意思直接開口。103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡimMqBNwbKC
103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1JTIyKESfo
下一秒，他慢慢地將身體向她湊近，像是渴望那帶著海味的濕毛巾，又像是努力克服本能的不安。103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiaWMCrEWYd
103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoro06fD2VS
露蕾雅忍不住笑了，輕聲說：「好吧，那我幫你。」103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNkO4FyUjvY
103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2EvguNtBb5
她小心翼翼地將濕毛巾擦過他額頭、臉頰與頸側。動作很輕，就像怕驚動一隻受傷的海獸。而人魚的臉上，竟浮現出一個幾乎不可察覺的微笑。103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ8kT3qcPbA
103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0bpcRLNTdx
不是張揚的那種，而是某種忍不住上揚的嘴角——像是身體已經先一步誠實地回應了海水的慰藉，卻又不願讓人類看出自己其實正在享受。103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsXoLtnY7hD
103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFn5WcXk5l6
露蕾雅一邊擦，一邊壓低聲音輕笑：「啊……你真的喜歡！」103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbilpugRMPg
103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv3J3lJaqA7
人魚眼睛一瞪，立刻又往後縮了一點，像是被發現秘密的小獸。103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLgSYR7LE2g
103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEYqQduxtOQ
「啊……對不起對不起，我不講了、不講了！」她趕緊擺手賠笑，嘴角卻還微微彎著。103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡokSj2BPYwN
103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPNrntwrHec
沉默了一會，她試探性地問道：「那……你要不要擦擦身體？我可以幫你……當然，如果你願意的話。」103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoHgTykSI6K
103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2xDX1NWACm
她語氣輕得像一縷風，遞出去的是信任，而不是要求。103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeBmBuHh64J
103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXSGqacj9nL
這一夜，月光正亮。海水也溫柔，而兩個原本不該交會的生命，終於開始走近了彼此的呼吸。103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOcGcluMZfH
103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqJJOsxY5sR
103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaXjf1nC1DZ
103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRrAUoa2pLZ
他沉默了一會兒，眼神裡仍帶著遲疑。但就在下一瞬，他看見了那個女孩——103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡATQ4cxCLJl
103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp2mKVn5FeO
她捲起的褲管上滿是濕沙與泥濘，小腿沾著海水濺起的碎貝與礫石；白色襯衫早已被海風與浪花打濕，貼在身上，顯出她瘦小卻頑強的身形。米金色的髮絲凌亂地貼在臉側，淡色的睫毛在濕氣中微顫；那雙碧綠的瞳孔透出堅定的光。103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPhWqO474IF
103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl1T0WIxBAT
而那張臉——在月光的映照下，竟像一尊從海面走來的天使。103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhXbxnbtQ5d
103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhA4ItJ9xgq
他從未想過，人類也能這般溫柔。與那些追捕、窺探他們家園的人相比，她就像來自另一個世界。103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ16gDJ0mRsc
103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1yfgEmLKLt
她的氣息很輕，卻不容忽視；她的舉動不誇張，溫柔得令人想放下所有戒心。翡色的眼眸真摯而專注，讓他的心微微一顫。103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMfsVZzMzah
103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu6XX1roVlJ
露蕾雅再次沾濕毛巾，湊近他身旁。103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV05G5VUTWY
「可以嗎？」她低聲問道。103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpGtoOzdm6G
103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj0kHj4Ndw3
人魚沒有立刻回答。他的眉頭緊蹙，眼神裡浮現一種矛盾——像是渴望靠近，卻又不敢觸碰；像是忍耐痛苦，又怕自己會在某個瞬間崩潰。103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡheX9BndOVP
103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7zAMPCUgtu
她原本注視著他的眼睛，但視線不自覺地滑落——經過鎖骨、落在胸膛，再到那條被海水映得發亮的腹線。她瞪大了眼，像是被什麼突如其來的畫面電到。103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAxf8x77arE
103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDqotwj1G6T
她連忙別開目光，耳根迅速泛紅，心中大喊：「不行不行，我是在幫助他……幫助他，冷靜！」103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN2R39puHYK
103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhZVUeYeUJN
深吸一口氣後，她重新整理語氣，說道：「不然這樣好了……我不碰你。」103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRuNdVipdW4
103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVLhw53NVu0
她舉起毛巾，將沾了海水的那一端高高舉起，讓水珠緩緩滴落，滴在他鎖骨與胸前。103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXl7otUrgY5
103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCdcvHIyw0y
海水一滴滴滑落，如清晨的露，落進焦土。人魚的肌肉微微一顫，原本緊繃的身體彷彿在那一刻稍稍放鬆了些。103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaJPByUt9Ik
103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI7cnYkTEjq
他的臉上浮現出一種極短暫的、幾乎快樂的表情——眼角柔和，唇角像是不自覺地微微上揚。但那表情只維持了一秒，便被他猛然咬住的下唇壓了回去。像是被自己發現了什麼不得了的破綻。103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDs7cXkns2c
103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8mE5kjSHRA
露蕾雅看見那瞬間的變化，卻什麼都沒說。她只是抿著唇，把手中的毛巾輕輕一擰，再度讓一串細流沿著他的肩膀與胸口滑下。103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0N7hJM9gJY
103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5LllsiedNJ
她不說話，他也不說話。山洞裡只剩下海水落下的聲音、月光穿過岩縫的微顫、以及某種，無聲的心跳。103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjZRzPczkgp
103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNMD5lyGiYk
103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnalzIFjeTB
103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡijgLLSMjbn
103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPehkN2XSA5
「啊，我想到了！」103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHAqOnbZtkj
103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvIsmpVZlMx
露蕾雅忽然像是被什麼靈感擊中，猛地站起來。她轉身就要往洞口跑去，眼裡閃著某種迫不及待的光。103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsxLKq9Obf9
103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu5Cx8HVZDi
但還沒等她邁出第二步，背後忽然傳來一道微弱又急促的聲音：103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyzJ5kHE8cl
103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHPzjrxqfS4
「等……等等！」103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTKZlwPpJkt
103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZTBdCyJScY
她猛地停下腳步，像是沒聽清似的轉過身來。103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9M3xlH4y8D
103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbk2gB5lIVw
「你會說話？！」她睜大雙眼，聲音裡是一種近乎敬畏的驚喜。103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3NLpkfnacx
103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDoUTlsVzGW
那人魚有些慌亂地靠著岩壁，氣息仍不穩，但眼神裡有難掩的羞赧和不知所措。他的嗓音微啞，顯然不曾與人類說話過。103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUCmke7XL90
103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGT5T5SyAB5
「妳、妳……妳往何處去？」103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡazRL3WiibP
103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEhWYqEH1wp
那聲音清澈而帶著沙啞，像是沉眠多年的海螺終於吹出第一口氣。不是低沉的男低音，而是輕盈卻帶磁性的男中音，帶著海潮般溫柔的餘韻與迴響。那聲音，是吟誦古老詩篇的靈族會有的嗓音——纖細而乾淨，如銀光撫過深海。103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV2NYaQiznP
103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡidB35hloWV
露蕾雅一愣，旋即笑得如晨曦初現，完全沒注意到他臉上的紅潮，回道：103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcW4cR0BrDq
103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK1iIhOO6Xy
「我想說……去拿一條大浴巾，沾上海水幫你包起來，這樣你應該恢復得比較快！」她說得自然又熱切，眼睛裡閃著某種興奮的光，像是剛剛完成了什麼重大的醫療發現。103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsvkMoRDl6X
103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5kd7h4NqQv
話才說完，她便毫不猶豫地轉身、快步跑出山洞，彷彿再多待一秒，就會錯過什麼急救黃金時間似的。103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW41WurqYrc
103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqdnPurjkc8
而洞裡，只剩下那名人魚。103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv0epE1rvqX
103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1ZFyezzUOh
他呆坐在原地，目光還停留在她離去的方向。半晌，他垂下頭，嘴角抿得死緊，耳根卻紅得幾乎能滴出血來。103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgZGUNRSFjX
103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNJw3RvTLlT
他想起方才那一滴滴落在身上的海水、她柔聲的問句、還有自己第一次開口叫住她的瞬間。103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGcnf75FtXp
103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2E8ZV5cySh
他感覺自己的臉已經燒到發燙。103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGeQYpDKGnC
103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgFBdMsrtcv
——還好她沒看見。103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw5UOlmd0HN
103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpYax9UmJ18
他閉上眼，輕輕吐出一口氣。腦海中浮現那個畫面——她在海邊提著大大的水桶，以那纖細的四肢，一次又一次走向浪裡。103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzbwolkupEe
103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGTT7ejUwHu
心跳如潮水一般，悄悄淹過胸口。103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQT2Huswb01
