鈴蘭一路跑上旅館的觀景台，幾顆熱氣球正緩緩升空，色彩在陽光裡交織。303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGGVkkWyI70
303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnEPz1PZAok
她推開木門，看到楓蹲在長椅一旁。煙霧與山霧交融，他的身影幾乎被吞沒。303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHE7XmCtsBe
303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6LeS7JGYY4
他聽到腳步聲，抬起頭，果然是她。楓輕嘆一口氣，嘴角微微一動，聲音低啞：「……喂喂喂，真的假的。」303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLG6Or0XnYW
303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsZVTQRd8qa
「楓！！」鈴蘭快步走近，神情全是擔心，「你不是說身體不舒服嗎？那為什麼還抽菸？！發燒時抽菸會影響免疫力、加重發炎的……」303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWLag0j0NTh
303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxiArw4zfWY
她正要開始碎碎念，楓避開她的目光，喃喃地說：「我沒有發燒，我就只是……不想去。」303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWiKRgm1xQH
303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUrcHXnHNBY
鈴蘭皺眉，伸手摸了摸他的額頭。果然沒有發燒。他的皮膚溫熱而穩定，氣色看起來甚至比她還好。低頭一看，長椅旁散落著一地煙蒂——至少四、五根。303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLIan3oiszD
303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWKX8KojV79
「楓……你幹嘛啦？是心情不好嗎？發生什麼事了？」303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaNGZCf49rb
303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmhQnJMG23z
楓沒立刻回答，只是低頭，食指輕輕彈掉煙灰。風一吹，灰燼隨之散開。303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqycd9adUeG
303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1Vcpz2XJJg
「剛剛不是還好好的嗎？是家裡出什麼事了嗎？還是接到什麼電話，壞消息……?」303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIv9d9avoN6
303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIBGkDvyaYv
「都沒有。」他打斷她的話，「就是覺得……我就是一個，就算消失，也不會有人注意到的人。」303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWOsaZcM7jA
303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdDd0iDqxuF
鈴蘭怔了一下。303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjmG56FzSj8
「你在說什麼呀，楓？為什麼突然這麼想？」303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEaJkSvipzz
303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0wjFNP1XT5
「不是突然。」楓苦笑了一下，「是一直以來都這麼想。」303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe4zU7pa4HR
303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLNLhwFrG8t
「大家都很在意你呀，蓮、翔、陽介……」303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfUaTmxCtpZ
303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiDJPM4qnMw
「呵，他們才不會。」他嗤笑，目光飄遠，「那只是工作上的熱鬧，不是關心。」303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVoduEkb94i
303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡntXYr9XrN0
「不要鬧脾氣，」鈴蘭輕聲道，「一起走吧？看看風景、看看大自然。上去之後看到那整片山谷，你一定會覺得，一切都沒那麼糟。」303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfonyAlTqEe
303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbFPfw5aj0W
她蹲下來，和他平視：「鬱悶的時候更要曬太陽，多跟朋友在一起呀。」303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ02DIipXOmS
303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5DYkyV5x3F
「我沒有朋友。」303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlh3I5cvBe5
303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl30tcwL6cV
「胡說。」她眨了眨眼，語氣堅定，「你不是才說過，我們是朋友嗎？你已經忘了嗎？」303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHoJn4M0ab6
303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJLMOrRljJz
楓沉默了幾秒，低聲問：「為什麼要來找我？明明……可以不用來的。」303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWXL730cbQm
303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQgtEIQqhh0
「因為——」303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT5mrkqKQSJ
鈴蘭深吸一口氣，語氣裡沒有責備，反而透著一種幾乎母性的溫柔。303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ10SGy1OO5w
「我不習慣朋友什麼都不說就不見。我會覺得……他一定是發生什麼事了。不能丟著不管。」303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqqXFy1sQwE
303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD5SFvXzoMf
風從山谷吹來，掠過她的髮絲。她伸出手，輕輕拉住楓的手腕。那一瞬間，體溫的傳導清晰得令人心慌。楓愣了愣，卻在她的眼裡，沒看到曖昧，只有一種如護理師對患者般的擔憂，那種真誠的、毫不保留的關心。303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv8KiVXGIkf
303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUy0GRrCAPY
「如果沒發燒的話，」鈴蘭輕聲說，「就走吧。大家都還在等你。」303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp11zBSiiTd
303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY4sk8OjTZO
她抬眼看著他，笑容裡有著一種讓人無法拒絕的溫柔。303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡksZG4Plo46
「沒有楓，坐那顆熱氣球就好像少了什麼。」303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9mFrR2D0l0
303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHHIVl8q838
楓怔怔地望著她，心裡想著要抽回手，卻發現力氣不知去了哪裡。也許是因為身體比理智更誠實，他捨不得離開那樣真摯的溫度。303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7xKlr10UAF
303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQxvMfoPTbn
「……………………」303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNOdjyyuPMC
303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6lJRnOasva
他低下頭，嘴角微微一動，笑了一下。那笑裡有苦澀、有無奈，也藏著一絲說不出口的依戀。303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHRS6TgGXlL
303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFSyOObVgmk
「如果是妳的話……」他低聲呢喃，話才說到一半，就自己收了回去。303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWChPOtgIPz
303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFubrjD4TnF
下一秒，楓抬起頭。那抹情緒被他壓進心底，只留下熟悉的、專業到無懈可擊的微笑。303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3mTKoThiyG
303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEutkgjNZnE
「嗯，走吧。」303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXVIGbeG3a8
303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRK3csE41RM
他站起身，輕輕拍了拍衣角。那笑容太平靜，讓人分不清，那是習慣性的職業表情，還是混雜了一點真心、一點點的感動。303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJXPCOps1x3
303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0H5TM5QLbF
303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa3hUqAn3De
「就說嘛，鈴蘭小姐太大驚小怪了，」陽介笑著說，「楓就只是抽根菸而已。」303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyyIwBhxgXS
303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7GfwPFiyu5
蓮聳聳肩，嘴角卻忍不住勾起：「不過還真讓我意外，居然被妳拖回來了。通常楓進入那種自閉狀態的時候，沒抽完一包菸，是沒有人能把他拉回來的。」303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn2FHAo1Yfg
303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUGpSMOMIcE
「那是因為你們根本沒試過！」鈴蘭氣呼呼地反駁。303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkehmmi04Rs
303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡotnCwU9lDL
眾人被她生氣的樣子逗笑。熱氣球正緩緩上升，籃子輕微晃動，陽光透過雲層灑下，景色壯麗得讓人屏息。303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzo0DxqDM7i
303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡudKhQ34C2Y
上升的過程比想像中穩，風輕輕托著，沒有任何恐懼的感覺，只有一種漂浮在夢境裡的安靜。303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL1DOa2NV1r
303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxFpL3vpYoc
「所以說，翔，」柚香轉頭問，「你駕駛熱氣球多久啦？」303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2IIUDBMN0X
303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwzFU5NqRjj
翔一邊調整火焰開關，一邊露出職業的笑容：「啊——其實是這樣的，我在這家公司打工一年了啦，不過以前都只是接待與導覽協助的工作。駕駛嘛……這星期才剛開始學的。我通常負責活動結束後協助舉辦『香檳慶祝儀式』與頒發飛行證書。」303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw0DbJqCtej
303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhhek0dfh3B
翔可以笑著補充：「我最擅長的是發香檳跟拍照，大家都以為我是主持人。」303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhRbgKmiuiO
303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbSfCzuLyGu
「欸欸欸欸欸！？」303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡINphgSfefz
303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4VokEGUtdE
「柚香，為什麼要在這種時候問這種問題啦！」小晴慌忙拉住籃邊，「我們剛剛不是還很開心嗎！」303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnzsgBn75LK
303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAR58moQ8nx
「不、不用擔心啦。」柚香努力保持鎮定，「我相信翔。他雖然才剛學會，但一直都是個做事很穩的人，對吧？」303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeA94abZZ3o
303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfroallXKhV
翔尷尬地乾笑兩聲，表情卻一副理所當然：「呃……也不能這麼說啦。我以前當過衝浪教練，因為忘了綁安全繩被老闆炒掉；三年前也開過小貨車，但酒駕撞了卡車……之前在遊艇上打工，不小心把油壓開關跟電源搞反，結果那艘船——呃，現在應該在海底吧。幸好我先跳了。當然，當天就被炒了。」303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiL28xS9N6t
303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlLNuJzu02a
翔笑得陽光燦爛，語氣輕描淡寫，像在說一段旅遊趣事。303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4UteFNb0sL
303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBmYaTwWwzm
「只有蓮最好，還沒炒我呢！」303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2xuunJPjaK
303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8PEAP0xAFo
這句話一出，所有人的臉色都鐵青。303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7WO3GYi2HC
蓮緩緩放下相機，語氣平靜得異常：「你簡歷上……有寫這些東西嗎？」303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvhH7cpD6al
303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡob6IaRgmnt
「有啊。」翔一臉理所當然地點頭，「不是說，衝浪教練兩個月、貨車司機三個月、遊艇公司一星期嗎？」303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMX3LocdcgL
303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCDD13CCMWi
「…………」303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt5GCHITbXc
303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡunYRl4QSdT
籃子裡陷入詭異的靜默。303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo2lFDFU68G
303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvGqgfJU8rs
陽介嘴角微微抽搐，聲音發抖：「我們現在可以下去了嗎？」303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa6GHZanVNi
「我到底為什麼會把我寶貴的生命交在這種人手裡啊……」他碎碎念著，雙手死死抓著籃邊。303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgwj6pbJIFx
303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtiVeGjBolG
「咦？可是還沒看完呢～」翔笑著又向熱氣球噴了一次火焰，拉著繩子調整方向，「不去看看青羽谷那邊的小山丘嗎？這個季節可以看到開滿花紫粉色的紫葉桃喔，超漂亮的！」303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfGHpYQfc8o
303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡidBQVa0owp
「不過要提醒一下，等一下要下降的時候，可能會有一點小晃。這型氣球我今天第一次開，所以降落的手感還不太熟。」303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD0e014NXxs
303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFGEJu7FIi8
「……………………」303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx5xWUd5wRg
303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7PyIkekrwv
鈴蘭的臉色瞬間變了，僵硬地轉過頭望向楓，「楓，我錯了。我不該拉你來坐熱氣球的。你是不是早就知道這些，所以才逃避的？」303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWiEIUQ3CGS
303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh3O0brBZyn
楓靠在籃邊，神情冷靜淡然，像是早已把生死置之度外的人。他目光緩緩落在她身上，嘴角微微一彎。303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjkO4LJpIJ3
303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0aFWpGa71H
「沒事，」他低聲道，語氣平靜，「害怕嗎？害怕的話可以緊緊抱著我喔～我不介意死在美人懷中喔。」303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTUqWvqVa9N
303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmg043SKaJj
「楓！！不要講那個字啦，現在很敏感耶！！」鈴蘭臉紅得像被風燒過，兩手緊抓著籃邊，既生氣又慌張。303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoYhbKznpo4
303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMWmRcLlUxE
凜在一旁強裝淡定露出微笑，卻掩不住顫意：「楓你什麼時候變得這麼油膩，真不像你。」303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRmgY9aovl6
303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6H1TV6Jd7I
楓聳聳肩，從從容容：「這就是人嘛。不知道自己還剩多少時間的時候，就會願意把心裡話講出口。」303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsKYb6oMOpp
303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5PQ8WpRaGN
「楓！！！不要再說這種不吉利的話了——」鈴蘭快要哭出來。303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡam5oaeg6nq
303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwnAdS2afyc
「大家！！趕快蹲下！！！」翔突然大吼一聲。303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2doNtZfh4Z
303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyQYQ3wEdkt
「啊啊啊啊啊——怎麼了？」大家一陣驚呼，籃內瞬間一片手忙腳亂。鈴蘭下意識一把摟住楓的衣角，楓也毫不客氣地把她抱進懷裡——在這一刻，什麼動作都是那麼理所當然。303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWu1X5WsdQT
303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS2mqVdgrtE
翔的聲音在上頭回響：「大家蹲下、抱頭！」
「……什麼？！ 什麼」303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLm7xdpCX9G
「熱氣球故障了嗎？」303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8812zd1I3D
「是迫降嗎?」303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS5N4gey1xI
303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ23RoF1ahA4
一時間，籃子裡的人一律照做：抱頭、蹲下，把身體收得緊緊的。籃子藤編與熱氣的味道混在一起，火焰偶爾一吼，光影在每張臉上跳動。303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3hZCGhmFW6
303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBaFKZ6UMIJ
翔露出一個淡定而專業的微笑——不，其實應該說，他本人真的一點也不緊張。303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8dTk0F5EGT
303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡea7MnjjPjc
「喔，沒有、沒有。降落時的流程都是這樣，大家一起蹲下、抱頭，會比較穩，也比較不會那麼害怕。」303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu3wMwufn11
303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmBoJChG7O6
他說得胸有成竹，但是沒有人因為他的自信而放鬆。303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKyY7hcF6VN
303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJxDOvUibRJ
「那你剛剛為什麼要搞得這麼緊張！」303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYBuYMqCbBx
303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNQ5r5GhOOE
「這種程序一般來說會先講吧？讓遊客有個心理準備，不會猛地就這樣大吼——」303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5jq9llOu0t
303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM8wlJFVr6D
柚香已經快爆走了，兩眼瞪得比熱氣球還圓：「我要殺了你，翔——你給我把我們安全送下去，不然我一定先殺了你！」303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpHypZCMZrG
303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFy7yxkDrzt
籃子微微一震，熱氣球開始有節奏地下降，並不劇烈，反而像是被天空溫柔地放回地面。大家的心也隨著高度慢慢安定下來。303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZBVMqTATsh
303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9kcj4TTk8n
鈴蘭緊緊抓住楓胸前的衣襟，臉貼在他的身上。淡淡的菸草味包圍著她，而那裡平穩的心跳，讓她的不安與恐懼一點點平息。楓的手搭在她背上，動作穩固卻不重，像是在說：「我在這裡。」303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXl8Ex9qbsc
303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY1lx3N9qDm
下面的工作人員早已站好位置，舉起雙手迎接，熟練地將籃子穩穩接住並固定。當熱氣球的籃底輕輕觸地，整個場面頓時沸騰，掌聲、驚呼、笑聲交織在一起。303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUeZMpLBFWp
303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjtC5uIr0ur
陽介先啪地一掌拍在膝蓋上，作勢要鬆口氣；柚香假裝撕票狀地罵翔；蓮則率先衝出籃子，伸手把大家一一扶下。303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ04X7RIPxRE
303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR9KrH9sgBV
楓放開鈴蘭，卻沒有立刻離開那個距離。他看著她，眼底裡都是柔軟與憐惜：「沒事吧?」303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIOix1rk7dm
303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv8c2gSDaZd
「沒事，對不起，剛剛抓你太抓的太用力，沒弄傷你吧?」鈴蘭才回過神，滿臉尷尬。303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7TpUgSV93D
303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqNMG6Zh8TW
「沒有。緊急狀況嘛，這也是沒辦法的事。」303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIFxnqs2FlZ
303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYntwNAI3Vr
他笑了，笑得是真的。303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfVVBrQBdxG
