近來回到小學，看見越來越多舊人，踏足在矮小的樓梯，都使她不斷想起過去。畢業後沒有再行過這種高度的樓梯，成年人而言頗為矮小的她可以一步踩兩級。312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5heATbTGgK
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlzkSwLOVLC
所有事都湧現，直至她感到自己的頭腦已經滿溢，無法再裝載。312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfbwFaaBmGP

與第一次在學留守功課輔導班的拘緊不同——同學們的拘束，他們已見慣見熟林蓁，開始不守規矩——她倒是不介意他們有點不守規矩，畢竟，已上了全日學的學生，注意力有限，何況他們都在兒童期，「守規矩」如此需要後天約束的事，本就不易做到。312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiKi0xCh80B
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ70EvoFeC6S
她只是會悠悠地請學生們：就算聊天，手也不要停止寫作。312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjGSpCpdCJH
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfSSzVb9bUy
初時，他們如果遇到不懂的功課題目，只會坐在座位上發呆，或是問附近的同學；現在，他們會舉手，大聲叫喚：「Miss！」無論簡單或艱澀，通通發問。這也許代表她已不會令人感到陌生了。312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdCfEEucdSS
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjEGv3A4xob
漸漸，學生之間的聊天聲音越來越大，連她也可以加入對話。312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6FwQWWM4PY

一個半小時過去，順利結束。312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkSw3YVo7wI

林蓁回家，便將洗手間的燈膽換上——312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZgagEjv6sc
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDs8yp5ebn1
那是前天父親著她「明天去換」的燈膽，可是昨夜她在周立沖處留宿。312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡydwGgF9S5t
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2N5PYRwVy7
應是是錯覺，換了新燈泡，便覺得家裡明亮了許多，比起以前用舊燈泡時更甚。因此，牆身的壁癌便被光襯得更清晰，霉霉綠綠，硬誇上些美感便說那是如雲如霧。也許是抽氣扇不夠強勁的緣故，所以無法及時將濕氣抽走，然後形成了一股無法散去的霉氣。然後，如影如形，一直存在牆壁上，成為家裡最大皮膚的一份子，班駁得很。312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLWa6ROKm0B
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlXtbVYJ2qQ
父親罵罵咧咧：「做咩琴晚唔返嚟？」312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaYsgGvzYPG
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHBQprcY6rx
她不應。312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQrjrlPecWQ
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡawS1FXblue
「明明叫咗你琴日就買嚟換，而家先做！廁所無燈好危險㗎，你知唔知？」312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMhLaNlp5TC
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsm174xL4R4
她不應。312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1Wt8CpO6f1
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGPFmGlh40v
「喂！又唔出聲，叫你做少少嘢都唔得咩？」312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkdjOVph7w2
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcDaYuSTPO4
她不應。312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEkzrdo5gt0
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4iM2tkY2Ml
「我係你老竇嚟！關心吓你琴日唔返嚟咋嘛！你唔高興咩？」312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH6imE3Ppw5
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWyX4v5upNk
她終於應：「我成日都唔返嚟㗎啦。」312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7lenujwr2T
他沉默。312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiPA3Wt6Zls
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOTaULFzry2
家裡常常沉默，沉默確實也是林蓁心中家的常態。只是近年，父親說多了好多話，他會說話開口發問、要求、索取，然後，要求他人回應，如果不應他，便會說說說直至她覺得煩。要是以前，他只管一次過說好多話，完全不求他人應，反正他不介意別人怎看。近年是介意了，或是希望有人和他說話聊天交流了，不願再自說自話，才會不停說些問題或內容，直到人家回應。312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdimR23Go9W
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSSSH0aj34H
林蓁通常是為了讓他不要再說，才開口回應。312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0fmHl11fGk
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9EGfRqo0s5
父親說：「咁所以我而家咪一次過關心你囉，唔使原因㗎嘛。」312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP6iR8TLbgo
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS8puoC5koA
「唔使原因，但你有，因為想我幫你換燈膽。」312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFzkKfPu7ON
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFp6B5hqLRY
她語氣平靜。312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQv07Qi2kpc
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe2MgquMEXq
她太熟知這一套，很多想要向她傾訴心事的人，都會首先煞有介事地問她近況，然後再進入自身故事的正題，完成流暢的轉折。她不會拆穿，反而覺得這是一種禮貌，至少讓她好受一點——他們有考慮到她的感受呢，也怕突兀。312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqjC7N35ioP
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJVyndhDvkJ
「衰女包！我生你養你，你咁樣諗我？」312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS7zLw5t0wm
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcXaMSoRQj7
她不應。312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiG3P83LLnv
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJHEdpwXMf1
「又成日唔返屋企，係咪拍拖啦？唔使理老竇啦？」312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb3oWNLb7j0
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCf7gCfsL2w
她不應。312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKpYshFJCxb
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoAhhSKA1EK
「都唔知係咪喺出面識埋哂啲飛仔，教到你咁忤逆。」312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrelbkJi2NW
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJUp4Bg7OMf
她不應。312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXLNay8rRh6
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpZqvUByW3H
「出面啲男人邊度會真心鍾意你吖！你咪亂咁信人。」312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDM85PYLfG5
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVQuNs4kxPj
她不應。312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY1XliEvabd
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZdHLhANsdn
「而家有毛有翼識飛啦？出咗身又唔見你畀家用！」312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfnZx3zZZZF
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2YE6uzY7kR
她終於應：「我仲未畢業。」312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtD3z9VC0Tx
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡztZvBThWxF
語氣始終平靜。312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2WQhVO92X9
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLqlj8Skh9q
林蓁時時自省，到底從什麼時候開始，這個家就剩下她和父親呢？母親找其他男人了，家姐和細佬相繼出國讀書，遺棄她一個。是不是她做錯了什麼，才落得今日呢。312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWoKYgnQ2Ca
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHOqmYVN427
自從家姐離開，她便毫無預兆地代替了被打父親的角色。312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmy3m4kdlLx
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHF1ZVY8qB4
林蓁不解，她又不像家姐，已不會頂嘴，平日有溫順臉容，斟茶遞水家務樣樣做齊，會替母親搥背，會照料弟弟的功課；作為一個二女兒，她已做得很多，那年，她才十三歲。312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3DPbzJYPDT
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOBAonHGQbe
「啫係就嚟畢業啦，覺得自己好大個啦嘛！」父親又說。312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkGBAG5t3px
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtP7K2qBTFV
她始終不應。312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3QlWRC6raC
