《他和她的SOTU》 - 第二十回：千里尋親

43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZKkNQGrRxp

溫哥華，國際機場。落機嗰刻，周子謙第一個感覺係凍。四月嘅溫哥華，氣溫得十度左右，空氣入面有陣松樹同雨水混合嘅味道。佢着住深藍色風褸，頸上面圈住一條灰色頸巾——葉凱霖上機之前逼佢買嘅，「溫哥華凍過香港呀細路，你唔想凍死就聽我講」。43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡufg3Lr9a7K

43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEacOsPZZcn

葉凱霖自己都着住新買嘅黑色薄羽絨，拉鏈拉到上頸，成個人脹咗一個碼。佢咬住牙籤，拖住自己個紅色殘爆背囊，企喺機場入境大堂四圍望。

43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpztLZOTCzw

「你阿媽住邊？」佢問。

43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP8UbKFwGuA

「列治文。」周子謙由褲袋拎出一張紙，上面寫住一個地址，「文哥俾嘅。」

43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7ppo14IrHp

「你準備點樣見佢？」

43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVUH0DyOKSD

「未諗。」

43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5r1y2F93Ig

「未諗？」葉凱霖瞪大眼，「你由香港飛到溫哥華，十幾個鐘頭飛機，你未諗點樣見你阿媽？」

43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBa0JjCdl9W

「我諗咗好多嘢。」周子謙將張紙收返，「諗佢見到我嘅反應、諗佢會講咩、諗我應該講咩、諗如果佢唔認我點算、諗如果佢認唔出我點算、諗如果佢 —」

43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvaFBhzt0oT

「得啦得啦，你諗咗。」葉凱霖打斷佢，「咁結論呢？」

43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmD1QpjOdY6

「冇結論。」

43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDPHh0eqEVp

「……」

43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ3ZhXfEykB

「因為我未見過佢。」

43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ97PS3rgfpo

葉凱霖望住佢，望住佢平靜嘅眼神入面嗰種 — 唔係慌張，而係一種空白。一種「我知道要做一件事，但我唔知點樣開始」嘅空白。

43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUwnofOMpe5

「咁我幫你諗。」葉凱霖由佢手上面搶過張紙，睇一睇地址，「列治文，近機場。我哋先去酒店放低行李，然後去呢個地址睇吓。唔好直接敲門，係睇吓 — 觀察。你明唔明？」

43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCkl8R2vKi4

「觀察？」周子謙皺眉。

43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTPvT5grc1W

「你係特工呀細路。觀察目標，收集情報，然後先制定行動方案。你呢啲嘢教我㗎。」

43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1QhTloigsc

周子謙望住佢，忍唔住笑 — 係呢兩日以嚟第一次笑。

43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6YrBjF8qdT

「你幾時變得咁專業？」

43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjKY5mLVGrg

「我一路都咁專業，只係你平時唔覺。」

43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzgvkTyATrn

「你平時燥底 —」

43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI24hp8stFH

「你收聲啦。」

43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrHgaI4HC4e

佢哋截咗架的士，去酒店。酒店喺列治文市中心，一間普通嘅三星級酒店，文哥安排嘅。房間好細，兩張床，一個窗望住停車場。葉凱霖將背囊掟上靠窗嗰張床，然後成個人攤上去。

43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ79Tj72BNgu

「張床好軟。」佢彈咗兩下，「好過你太子嗰張硬板。」

43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF16ZkfKGvT

「我張床係記憶棉。」

43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqldpmcnDxI

「硬嘅記憶棉。」

43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIGHgdnTiF5

「你嘅形容詞 —」

43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0gzVcU2HAy

「好貧乏，我知。」葉凱霖由床上面彈起身，「行啦，放低行李就出發。早啲搞掂，早啲食晚飯。」

43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaFnyB1RzOc

「你又肚餓？」

43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGNFRLnt1c1

「我成日都肚餓。」

43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuF5lKInjEr

列治文，一條寧靜嘅住宅街。兩邊係獨立屋，有草坪、有車庫、有開緊花嘅櫻花樹。黃昏嘅光線溫柔到似水彩畫，空氣入面有草嘅味道同遠處燒烤嘅香味。

43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFmeFw4GsSA

周子謙同葉凱霖企喺街角，距離目標屋企大約五十米。佢哋着住便服，扮成散步嘅情侶 — 事實上，佢哋真係喺度散步。

43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRTKoFcyPNE

「白色嗰間。」周子謙望住前面，聲線好輕。

43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtcBUdckJWK

葉凱霖望過去。一間兩層高嘅獨立屋，白色外牆，藍色窗框，門口有個細細嘅花圃，種咗幾棵玫瑰。車道停住一架銀色嘅本田私家車，草地修剪整齊。

43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOuNAthnl3C

「好普通嘅屋。」葉凱霖話，「似退休人士住嗰種。」

43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOho341Cnx0

「文哥話佢用緊『林淑賢』呢個名，加拿大公民，退休。」

43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI2YI3kRgE4

「退休做咩？」

43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWYdaqp24Uq

「文件寫『家庭主婦』。」

43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuJM08Ndp02

葉凱霖望一望周子謙。「真係家庭主婦？」

43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoHTpuUyb1U

「假嘅。」

43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiMsohEFLTB

「你點知？」

43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGqHo3C9gyZ

「因為佢從來都唔係。」

43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJCAQH86stq

佢哋企喺街角，望住間屋，望咗好耐。黃昏嘅光慢慢轉暗，街燈開始著。有幾個人放狗經過，望一望佢哋，笑一笑 — 一對亞洲情侶喺度散步，好正常。

43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG0kOlIEeqm

「你見到佢未？」葉凱霖問。

43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY8MiCXpCGx

「未。」

43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCH6GpRsP5T

「要唔要行近啲？」

43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi1ASZZH7ZG

「等多陣。」

43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5Vgsgqvzmu

佢哋等多陣。大約十分鐘之後，白色間屋嘅門打開。一個人行出嚟。

43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYhyE1peF9r

女人。短髮，染咗深棕色，着住一件深藍色嘅運動外套，牛仔褲，白波鞋。佢嘅身形比周子謙記憶中細咗一個碼，背脊有少少駝，行路嘅步伐好慢。

43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ65xXhFhqjl

佢拎住一袋垃圾，行去門口嘅垃圾桶，放低，轉身。

43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCH7KLf940A

就係嗰一刻，佢嘅視線掃過街角。

43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUaGnpbK57d

周子謙嘅心跳停咗。

43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDdqG8LOeG6

女人望住佢，望咗大概兩秒。佢嘅表情冇變 — 冇驚訝、冇開心、冇恐慌。只係望住，好似望住一個普通嘅路人。

43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGzGHS7NUXQ

然後佢轉身，行返入屋，關門。

43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIEo0udOMpb

「佢⋯⋯」葉凱霖細細聲講，「佢認唔認得你？」

43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbzSAxDaq5K

「唔知。」

43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzyNDlsZ06T

「佢望住你喎。」

43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4KFTMDZHUd

「佢望住街角。可能係好奇，可能係習慣，可能係 —」周子謙停一停，「可能係佢知道我哋會嚟。」

43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoqU3rMuzVm

「文哥通知佢？」

43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJTQ59iQzcK

「唔知。」

43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8xCXYUCPop

天色完全黑落嚟。街燈將兩個人嘅影子拉得好長。

43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCnBrV0qcYf

「而家點算？」葉凱霖問。

43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmSeP6l4Pk7

周子謙望住白色間屋，望住二樓亮起嘅燈光，望住窗簾後面隱約嘅人影。

43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiwtZm5yGga

「聽日再嚟。」

43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcvdTwV7Ose

「聽日幾點？」

43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC13OpFZjjG

「朝早。」

43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmpMosr6w3z

「你諗好講咩未？」

43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡucCTlkrIOn

「未。」

43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSayQWGjcNz

「咁你今晚諗。」

43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKu566UbBuX

「好。」

43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNKWTQdMhWY

佢哋轉身行返酒店。經過一條開滿櫻花嘅街，花瓣飄落嚟，鋪滿地面。葉凱霖踩住花瓣，發出「沙沙」聲。

43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ4yYptGSoz

「喂。」佢突然話。

43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTFFy28O1AX

「嗯？」

43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR203kFIRoU

「你頭先見到佢嗰陣，有咩感覺？」

43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2ZQspCIPoT

周子謙沉默咗一陣。

43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4iD5ewZUit

「空。」佢話，「好似見到一個識得嘅陌生人。」

43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqhXMY9PFlD

葉凱霖望住佢，望咗幾秒。然後伸手，勾住佢嘅尾指。

43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡryVTr944ND

「聽日就會變返識得嘅人㗎啦。」

43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDK90wr0fGV

「你點知？」

43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDBSrJj4WP4

「因為你係佢個仔。」

43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9gUwZhjsCr

周子謙冇答。佢收緊尾指，兩個人一齊行入夜色。

43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXeX5ggHfZc

酒店房間，夜晚十一點。葉凱霖沖完涼出嚟，頭髮濕淋淋，着住件大口仔T恤當睡衣。周子謙坐喺書枱前面，對住一部電腦，螢幕上面係一份佢啱啱開始寫嘅「行動方案」。

43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnBBRiMHSpn

「你寫緊咩？」葉凱霖行過去，由後面望住個螢幕。

43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3ACQaer7fO

《會面方案》版本1.0

43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVyOLVmE8Z0

「⋯⋯你見阿媽都要寫計劃書？」葉凱霖忍唔住笑。

43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJAaZei0iYj

「習慣。」

43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYch1PRayvV

「你嘅習慣好 —」

43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt666mzlWdf

「煩。」

43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeCdDaz6Uul

「你知就好。」葉凱霖拉過一張凳，坐喺佢旁邊，「讀嚟聽吓。」

43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfRQvS2HsAI

周子謙清清喉嚨。

43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCv3UdOpAtp

「第一步：觀察目標作息，選擇合適時機。」

43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDBBmhBJkPw

「即係幾時？」

43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaytQhV6a2r

「朝早。佢通常八點起身，九點之前會出嚟淋花。」

43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYvsTwFifau

「你點知？」

43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVmWBYdE51T

「頭先返酒店之前，我行多轉，見到佢二樓嘅燈八點半熄，今朝垃圾筒入面有咖啡渣 — 即係佢習慣朝早沖咖啡。」

43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZdaeGRKVJh

葉凱霖望住佢，望咗好耐。「你做咗幾多觀察？」

43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7I8xzjdOWK

「由落機到而家，持續進行。」

43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC776B2hqtU

「你冇瞓過？」

43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ12LNVV1oi

「瞓咗兩個鐘。飛機上面。」

43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB560aufNNs

葉凱霖冇出聲。佢起身，行去床邊，拎起自己個枕頭，掟去周子謙張床。

43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFeWSRo6jyE

「你做咩？」

43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCdLuH7kbXE

「今晚你瞓呢邊。我張床近窗，有風。」

43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtnFTeLKkPY

「我唔凍。」

43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvL5Q0bzHcg

「你手好凍。頭先拖手嗰陣我摸到。」

43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAcnY5Uqtbz

周子謙望住自己隻手 — 真係好凍。佢唔知自己凍，因為佢嘅腦太忙，忙到冇時間感覺凍。

43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvvMUV0SNyp

「多謝。」佢話。

43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpKK0JivUka

「又多謝。」

43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP1mJikH6bL

「多謝你喺度。」

43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIUWRWGils0

葉凱霖將被拉高到下巴，擰轉身，背對住佢。

43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmKc9RnVnRw

「收聲啦，瞓覺。」

43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl52hx1XmpX

「嗯。」

43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs3ZnDVtiur

周子謙閂電腦，行去床邊，攤落去。枕頭有葉凱霖嘅洗頭水味 — 士多啤梨味。佢聞住呢隻味，慢慢放鬆落嚟。

43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBF6UAAlaTi

「喂。」黑暗入面，葉凱霖把聲好細。

43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLtC9Dgd63O

「嗯？」

43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVUvcOndeWq

「聽日我陪你敲門。」

43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpSgWKFnbE4

「好。」

43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1xDRwCTdjF

「如果佢唔認你，我會同佢講你係好仔。」

43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNRFhOxacb7

「你唔識佢。」

43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ74WUr0H7P2

「我唔使識佢。我識你就夠。」

43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPh181WWeYk

周子謙喺黑暗入面笑咗。佢伸手，向隔離張床嘅方向，摸到葉凱霖嘅手指。

43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlI50VXUIlY

「你手好凍。」葉凱霖話。

43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT0GDvlEC8w

「你手好暖。」

43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKCwlMo0bv6

「你收聲啦，瞓覺。」

43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYZLNRSmEVe

「嗯。」

43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVvLN6yCyM3

尾指勾住尾指，喺兩張床之間嘅空隙。燈熄咗，月光由窗簾罅隙射入嚟，照住兩個人嘅手。

43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUYjs1OwsBR

第二日朝早，八點半。白色獨立屋對面嘅街角。

43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAMn8uJEfsX

周子謙着住淺藍色恤衫、深藍色西褲，冇打領帶。佢企喺度，企得筆直，雙手自然垂喺身側。葉凱霖着住黑色羽絨，企喺佢旁邊，咬住牙籤。

43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRvFrqBm8bk

「你準備好未？」葉凱霖問。

43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0zPGsAxDnE

「未。」

43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEylcaAGeuD

「咁企多陣。」

43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxZwSF3jaK9

佢哋企多陣。對面間屋嘅門打開，女人行出嚟。佢今日着住一件淺綠色嘅外套，手上面揸住一個水壺。佢行去花圃，彎低腰，開始淋花。

43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzw7RC7fFp6

周子謙深呼吸。

43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsYZGCSnGiM

「而家。」佢話。

43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF6f55YHFz2

佢哋行過馬路，行近白色間屋。腳步聲喺安靜嘅街上面好清楚。女人冇抬頭，繼續淋花，好似完全唔知有人行近。

43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3hwBnzWGtu

行到花圃前面，周子謙停低。

43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3NkR9vt7NU

「唔該。」佢用廣東話講。

43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlXAWfYAGU6

女人嘅手停咗。佢慢慢抬起頭，望住周子謙。

43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUwo3hPVLBi

陽光由佢哋身後射過嚟，照喺女人塊面上。佢嘅眼袋好深，皺紋比以前多咗好多，但係對眼 — 對眼冇變。

43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0nULswI7aL

「我搵林淑賢女士。」周子謙嘅聲線好穩，穩到有啲唔似佢自己。

43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVMGUOtiIBy

女人望住佢，望咗好耐。

43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQMOlLNqjGL

「我係。」佢話，把聲沙沙地。

43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWCXKA9WQ3h

周子謙嘅喉嚨收緊咗。

43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjyGbHFVPtV

「我係⋯⋯」佢停一停，吸一口氣，「我係你 —」

43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ42GRGsNdhF

「我知道你係邊個。」女人打斷佢。

43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCsNwujyDCM

周子謙嘅心跳停咗。

43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeIJHekpZwZ

女人將水壺放低，企直身。佢嘅視線由周子謙塊面移去葉凱霖塊面，再移返嚟。

43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRAufC4sv5q

「你係周子謙。」佢話，「我個仔。」

43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEv2Z9dVWTa

周子謙嘅眼眶紅咗。

43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmr6f4EosGb

「你⋯⋯認得我？」

43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4qLHQxoxVX

「你個樣變咗好多。」女人行前一步，「但係你企嘅姿勢冇變。由細到大，你都係咁企 — 直一直，好似驚企歪會跌咁。」

43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcuYp3PYKou

周子謙嘅嘴唇震緊。

43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl8lvqkfi6b

「你⋯⋯你知我會嚟？」

43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSyW6WWWikL

「文哥同我講咗。」女人點頭，「佢話你會嚟搵我。我等你咗兩日。」

43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3mLDUrLllD

「你點解 — 點解當年 —」

43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpI0a9baX3d

「入嚟講。」女人轉身，行去門口，「外面凍。」

43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxitZ76QCoG

佢哋跟住女人行入屋。屋入面好整齊，木地板，白色牆，牆上面掛住幾幅水彩畫 — 係風景，畫得一般，但係用色好溫暖。

43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMmrwBIceNR

「坐。」女人指住梳化，自己行入廚房，「我沖咖啡。」

43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3owB4N8sOU

周子謙同葉凱霖坐低。葉凱霖細細聲問：「你ok嗎？」

43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡer5go2b6sO

周子謙點一點頭，但係佢嘅手揸實咗膝頭。

43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdhT8gq6MZt

女人好快出返嚟，手上面托住一個盤，有兩杯咖啡同一碟餅乾。佢將盤放低，坐喺對面嘅單人梳化上。

43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHCbvWnTsX2

「你女朋友？」女人望住葉凱霖。

43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6IB4KXsvo0

「係。」周子謙答。

43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq8nF3uHRjE

葉凱霖嘅耳仔紅咗，但係冇否認。

43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMUeoZXuKD8

女人望住葉凱霖，望咗幾秒。「佢好靚。」

43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkfetlTdrTB

「多謝。」葉凱霖講，語氣有啲唔自然。

43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKcjOAlUunt

女人笑一笑 — 係周子謙記憶入面嗰種笑，溫柔、淺淺地、眼尾有魚尾紋。

43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡitBGTJpa6u

「你 —」周子謙開聲，但又停低。

43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOSaNzw3cpr

「你想問我點解假死。」女人幫佢講。

43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwBwYxiWj7a

「⋯⋯係。」

43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHRLV3rtrzf

女人將咖啡杯放低，望住杯入面嘅黑色液體。

43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRiIb2xpidJ

「因為有人要殺我。」佢嘅語氣好平淡，平淡到似講緊尋日食咩餸，「我當年負責一個任務，分析一個跨國犯罪集團嘅資金流向。我搵到好多嘢 — 太多嘢。集團嘅首腦知道我嘅身份，落咗追殺令。」

43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVpEWtgTykQ

「組織冇保護你？」葉凱霖問。

43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg0pxDgzCL2

「有。但係唔夠。」女人搖頭，「佢哋嘅勢力好大，滲透咗好多部門。我喺香港唔安全，去邊度都唔安全。唯一嘅方法係 — 消失。」

43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlbDYPHvaFr

「所以文哥幫你假死？」周子謙問。

43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsGJmG6krLh

「係。火化嗰罈骨灰係空嘅。」女人望住周子謙，「對唔住，我呃咗你。」

43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWIU1xuSG4A

周子謙嘅眼眶更紅。佢咬住嘴唇，咬到嘴唇發白。

43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvmajiJO257

「你⋯⋯」佢嘅聲音有啲破，「你點解唔帶埋我走？」

43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvti4vRv2aO

女人沉默咗好耐。

43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQGvPmQ49ZD

「因為帶唔到。」佢終於講，「你嘅樣太似我。如果你同我一齊消失，佢哋會追查你嘅下落，會用你嚟引我出嚟。唯一令你安全嘅方法，係留你喺香港，喺你阿爸身邊，做一個普通人。」

43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDAcn8Re8Y7

「但我冇做到普通人。」周子謙嘅聲線提高咗少少，「我做咗特工。」

43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhTxuEGrmEV

「我知道。」女人望住佢，眼神好複雜，「我一路都有留意你。文哥會定期同我講你嘅情況。你入訓練營、你畢業、你第一名、你嘅第一個任務 — 我全部知道。」

43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCv05VJosTo

「你知，但你唔出現？」

43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMOZt7Q7iIi

「我唔可以出現。」女人嘅語氣有啲震，「我出現，你會危險。」

43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWD2N52F18W

「我而家都危險！」周子謙企起身，聲線終於裂開，「我而家追緊嘅案件，就係當年追殺你嗰班人！我由頭到尾都喺危險入面，只係你唔喺度！」

43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWoBrb5GTCK

房間靜晒。

43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQB421Q8dfc

葉凱霖望住周子謙 — 佢從來未見過佢咁樣。失控、大聲、冇晒平時嘅冷靜。

43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLvJbbOdi9y

女人望住佢，望咗好耐。然後佢企起身，行到周子謙面前。

43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGOHMuZSS0L

「你高咗好多。」佢細細聲講，「以前你個頭到我膊頭，而家高過我成個頭。」

43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm8k1Is2gCB

周子謙嘅眼淚終於流落嚟。

43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVopbz6TpHa

女人伸手，輕輕摸一摸佢塊面。

43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4KnU4AIvuv

「對唔住。」佢話，「對唔住，仔。」

43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZueaqdKFpu

周子謙捉住佢隻手，喊到收唔到聲。佢冇喊出聲，只係眼淚不斷流，流過面頰，滴落地下。

43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyqN9iJyUkX

葉凱霖企起身，行去廚房，拎咗盒紙巾，放喺梳化隔離。然後佢行出門口，輕輕關上門。

43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXkDnFMqQ3E

留返佢哋兩個喺入面。

43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7HvjuNmpRd

門外面，葉凱霖企喺花圃旁邊，咬住牙籤，望住街上面嘅櫻花。風吹過，花瓣飄落嚟，有幾片黏喺佢嘅羽絨上面。

43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOYVHTJXEH1

佢拎出手機，send咗個訊息俾文哥：

43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7gvEamyNBK

見到啦。佢喊得好犀利。我出咗嚟，俾佢哋兩個傾。

43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe0KTcg92kQ

你應該一早同佢講。

幾秒後，文哥回覆：

43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM2R2JcG5mn

唔可以。佢知得越少，越安全。

43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBLX0oZMBrp

你睇實佢。

43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCQPmDxFArs

43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhhBgUlHbcB

葉凱霖望住個「睇實佢」，望咗好耐。然後佢收好電話，繼續望住街上面嘅櫻花。

43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgJboE2qByw

大約半個鐘之後，門打開。

43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsyDggCgvEg

周子謙行出嚟，眼紅紅，但係平靜返。佢望住葉凱霖，笑一笑 — 嗰個笑容，好累，但係好真。

43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs53Gv86Sd9

「你阿媽呢？」葉凱霖問。

43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHRzinApzb1

「佢煮緊糖醋排骨。」周子謙話，「叫我留低食飯。」

43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9akmwfJoNA

「咁我 —」

43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3xDA42YXXW

「你都留低。」

43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyMlfYhmcsy

葉凱霖望住佢，望住佢紅紅嘅眼眶、微微腫嘅眼皮、同埋終於放鬆落嚟嘅眉頭。

43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCkrtjxdSIk

「好。」佢話。

43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOoKJjZOlot

佢哋一齊行入屋。廚房傳嚟油煙嘅聲同糖醋排骨嘅香味。周子謙嘅阿媽由廚房探頭出嚟，望一望葉凱霖。

43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi1L0Bqwlwm

「你叫咩名？」

43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbW9camBFAU

「葉凱霖。」

43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnOrEMWHEzk

「凱霖，你幫手擺碗筷。飯枱上面有碗，喺第二格櫃桶。」

43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6DFeeYQu8G

「哦。」葉凱霖行去飯枱，打開櫃桶，拎出三隻碗。

43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmOgNexLArB

佢望住嗰三隻碗 — 白色，有藍色花紋，邊緣有少少崩。好普通嘅碗，但係擺喺一齊嗰陣，有種「屋企」嘅感覺。

43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPf3fMJznHI

佢將碗擺好，筷子擺好，湯匙擺好。排到整整齊齊 — 同周子謙一樣。

43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3z0z2t0gCr

周子謙行入廚房，企喺阿媽身邊，望住佢煮餸。

43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgplJvFL4FO

「你瘦咗好多。」佢話。

43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf3wgcgvtbt

「你冇瘦到。仲係咁死板。」

43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMe3kGlbiQw

「你點知我死板？」

43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmSNGInYgXU

「文哥講嘅。佢話你連洗頭水都要分類。」

43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO1oXPyYbLe

「⋯⋯」

43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGSkKpSVwuX

「仲話你個雪櫃有內容列表。」

43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxYowcmNAd9

「⋯⋯」

43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo63dcp0CDp

葉凱霖喺飯廳聽到，忍唔住笑出聲。

43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2n5Cj4m6gY

糖醋排骨上枱。三個人坐低，圍住一張細細嘅圓枱。窗外有陽光射入嚟，照住碟排骨，照住三碗白飯，照住三對筷子。

43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPCJNtkw9Qh

周子謙夾起一塊排骨，放入口。

43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1ZBdjT3Es0

佢嘅眼淚又流落嚟。

43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqlG79NdmXW

「好食嗎？」阿媽問。

43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPXvt4r5Zxi

「好食。」佢把聲有啲震，「同以前一樣。」

43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7eRjBeTPMw

阿媽望住佢，眼眶都紅埋。

43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUCvjDEudos

「咁你食多啲。」佢將成碟排骨推向周子謙，「超市減價，買多咗排骨，唔想嘥。」

43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGm16WFM4ci

葉凱霖望住佢哋，望住呢對母子 — 一個話「超市減價」，一個話「好食」。同周子謙同佢阿爸嘅對話一模一樣。

43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNr1rJ4BbEI

呢家人，表達愛嘅方式，就係「超市減價」同埋「唔想嘥」。

43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9K2tSkw28h

佢低頭，食自己碗入面嘅飯。飯粒暖暖地，軟硬適中 — 係佢好耐冇食過嘅「屋企飯」。

43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQEc372O2en

「凱霖。」阿媽突然叫佢。

43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSst9MU3Vim

「係？」

43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmxAJBnyvef

「你以後多啲同子謙返嚟食飯。我煮俾你哋食。」

43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsy4suakHWm

葉凱霖望一望周子謙。周子謙望住佢，眼神話：「你自己決定。」

43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFSsDY8YeAC

「好。」葉凱霖答，「我哋會嚟。」

43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYFuEt50sX3

阿媽笑得好開心。佢夾咗一大塊排骨放入葉凱霖碗入面。

43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDEkSSIqUxk

「食多啲，你太瘦。」

43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGf96veai29

「我唔瘦 —」

43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWD8Mlq2HU9

「你瘦。子謙，你睇你女朋友，瘦到得棚骨。」

43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzdheUqC6md

周子謙忍唔住笑。「佢成日食大排檔，營養唔均衡。」

43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeSN12bgfsC

「你收聲啦！」葉凱霖啤住佢，「大排檔好有營養㗎！」

43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf5h5FMvaJz

「雲吞麵有營養？」

43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4IWR83W5m1

「有！有蝦有麵有湯，點會冇營養？」

43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5MZetc4m7H

「蝦係蛋白質，麵係碳水化合物，湯係 —」

43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE0nJW7RCIU

「你收聲啦食飯啦！！！」

43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXA7BquNfyn

阿媽望住佢哋鬥嘴，笑到見牙唔見眼。佢由細到大都希望有個咁嘅畫面 — 個仔帶女朋友返屋企食飯，兩個喺度鬥嘴，間屋好熱鬧。

43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV0M4aKsIGc

佢等咗八年。

43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYLXfchhGUR

終於等到。

43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNJS3EmHDpe

食完飯，周子謙幫阿媽洗碗。葉凱霖坐喺梳化，望住牆上面嘅水彩畫。

43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDgq0JKYcTW

「呢啲畫你畫㗎？」佢問。

43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5gwtgMVW9m

「係。」阿媽喺廚房大聲答，「退休之後學嘅。畫得唔好，但係好打發時間。」

43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb7lYRdOpLi

「幾好睇呀。」葉凱霖望住其中一幅 — 係一個海邊嘅日落，橙色同紫色混合，溫柔到有啲似曾相識。

43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD5W0biVbxl

「呢幅係邊度？」佢問。

43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYU1tqhXin5

阿媽行出廚房，望住嗰幅畫。

43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZaFtRVYW9L

「南丫島。」佢話，「我聽文哥講，你帶子謙去過。」

43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbmGzh9jZ20

葉凱霖呆一呆。「你知我哋去南丫島？」

43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYpmPcaFzg4

「我知你哋好多嘢。」阿媽笑一笑，「文哥成日同我講你哋嘅事。你第一次任務跳樓、你哋扮夫婦去澳門、你哋潛入學校 — 我全部知。」

43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ1HRPXFzjv

葉凱霖望住佢，望住佢溫柔嘅笑容入面嗰種⋯⋯驕傲。

43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY8FALLA6qj

「你唔擔心佢危險？」葉凱霖問。

43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg8eepw3hgc

「擔心。」阿媽望住廚房入面周子謙嘅背影，「但係佢大個仔啦。佢識照顧自己，仲有 —」佢望返葉凱霖，「佢有你。」

43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu4GiikEuZO

葉凱霖嘅耳仔又紅咗。

43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3Js6ykD6n0

「我 —」

43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1nC2h3CF5j

「你唔好否認。」阿媽笑住話，「文哥話你成日話『我哋唔係情侶』，但係你嘅耳仔出賣咗你。」

43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb9o2Ju6QlV

「文哥講埋啲咁嘅嘢？！」

43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMr0CrHFHyO

「佢咩都講。」

43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5ykPRf8M7t

葉凱霖紅住耳仔，紅住面，紅住頸，將塊面擰開。周子謙由廚房行出嚟，見到佢個樣，忍唔住笑。

43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7R5fXqocZu

「你耳仔好紅。」佢話。

43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjccI1EScrx

「風吹㗎！」

43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡklt4PZoncj

「窗閂咗㗎。」

43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxCk45A5YQ8

「你收聲啦！！！」

43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdXYxbbJY46

阿媽望住佢哋，笑到眼淚水都出嚟。

43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD4vaHeTlks

下午，佢哋離開白色間屋。行到門口，周子謙轉身，望住阿媽。

43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIX8vwBpEg2

「我會再嚟。」佢話。

43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWUM4QOFHh8

「我知道。」阿媽點頭，「小心啲。」

43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSCabK12cKE

「你都要小心。」

43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcPuOfs3wdS

「我退休啦，有咩小心？」

43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfV0voEiqJm

「你永遠都係特工。」

43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvwjBB2Lrp6

阿媽望住佢，望咗幾秒。

43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoPpB4N5Lwg

「你似你阿爸。」佢話，「你企嘅姿勢似佢，講嘢嘅語氣似佢，連死板都似佢。」

43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJjOVbXfOHu

「我似你多啲。」周子謙話，「我嘅計劃書，係跟你以前嘅作風。」

43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsFLRM9GPbI

阿媽笑一笑，冇否認。

43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgTx4gXZr2K

「走啦。」佢話，「唔好掛住我，做你嘅嘢。」

43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5ggHFxm5JK

周子謙點一點頭。佢轉身，拖住葉凱霖嘅手，行出花圃，行出車道，行到街角。

43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJQu0ctHDPZ

擰轉頭，阿媽仲企喺門口，望住佢哋。

43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOJjbK2XvvS

周子謙揮一揮手。

43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1U8VhuEi5u

阿媽都揮一揮手。

43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVZQ29DgAxf

然後佢哋轉彎，消失喺櫻花樹後面。

43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgLc0EIrotw

「喂。」葉凱霖細細聲講。

43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡetyQKqdzDC

「嗯？」

43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0xdvTgCJjJ

「你阿媽煮嘅糖醋排骨，好食過你阿爸。」

43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpy72ehPiwz

「我會同佢講。」

43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4BTwxozbWU

「你唔准講！我會俾人鬧！」

43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU4oyXNWcRz

「我阿爸唔會鬧人。」

43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyXWEtVNGPx

「佢會鬧你。」

43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡakOHkbDkOa

「佢成日鬧我。」

43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHh8KL2vmq7

「咁你仲 —」

43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZlIyrbLtTi

「習慣咗。」

43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOaAl44zHBt

佢哋行到街尾，葉凱霖停低，由褲袋摸出一包煙，抽出一支。

43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMGcG7RfbpJ

「你唔係戒咗煙咩？」周子謙問。

43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUYZSfkte5F

「我幾時話戒？」

43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz7A2JipaJq

「你上次喺南丫島之後冇再食。」

43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkPsoB4xZrx

葉凱霖望住支煙，望咗幾秒，然後將佢放返入盒。

43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡufc8djxi1w

「今日唔食住。」

43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBuB38onngk

「點解？」

43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbp4hcS7LGZ

「因為你阿媽煮嘅排骨太好食，唔想破壞個味道。」

43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡopIKswQ2UJ

周子謙望住佢，忍唔住笑。佢伸手，拖實葉凱霖嘅手。

43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf14NeV4PJV

「多謝你陪我去。」

43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxgI2GHrDyp

「又多謝。」

43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6RJk2LBMNY

「多謝你喺度。」

43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvUeeitz2ug

葉凱霖望住前面嘅街，望住開滿櫻花嘅路，望住陽光穿過花瓣嘅碎影。

43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF52fRtEDV7

「我以後都會喺度。」佢話。

43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB1eyBgpbei

周子謙收緊手指。

43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG64eLq1xbA

「我都係。」

43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCsOPxk8KWi

佢哋一齊行返酒店。櫻花飄落嚟，鋪滿地面，鋪滿膊頭，鋪滿兩個人扣住嘅手。

43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6Xf0dzM2hT

溫哥華嘅風好凍，但係佢哋嘅手好暖。

43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcTBiTlbm54
