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。321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtWfTtdlvjg
321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVqAHQRbasr
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。321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡloVZNNFrCv

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。321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE3dId45EF1
321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlVKn4Juh96
她只是會悠悠地請學生們：就算聊天，手也不要停止寫作。321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDhGG6fAMFM
321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv09EHnyb3q
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。321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5oGhIMn2bm
321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIpRVJB3tq5
漸漸，學生之間的聊天聲音越來越大，連她也可以加入對話。321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0oOtBUKiyb

一個半小時過去，順利結束。321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYNt1tpWOPO

林蓁回家，便將洗手間的燈膽換上——321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmh1o7KUl5k
321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZnGq9DiBCC
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。321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡScXvFHbWYj
321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqprIfKSF2A
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。321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPcwYEXplJ9
321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXRXn79yVhf
父親罵罵咧咧：「做咩琴晚唔返嚟？」321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjI0pWek9oB
321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcnVotW2lNe
她不應。321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWyT9VFVz8m
321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAll2BhWtyT
「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？」321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHZClY4rhiJ
321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTycQIHr0U5
她不應。321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6rzc4Rithf
321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLaij6qfgEN
「喂！又唔出聲，叫你做少少嘢都唔得咩？」321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgSjwdD595K
321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIRwZnlhD54
她不應。321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG54Z1OoyTJ
321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfRaraYlADf
「我係你老竇嚟！關心吓你琴日唔返嚟咋嘛！你唔高興咩？」321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3smaLnB6Vq
321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6k6zi3H2id
她終於應：「我成日都唔返嚟㗎啦。」321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVxTSasF1iZ
他沉默。321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ97hL2ancqz
321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYKpQU8ltUI
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。321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDaM2ZyXqK4
321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsnvYxQqW3B
林蓁通常是為了讓他不要再說，才開口回應。321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM6ihARrywc
321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZxIg9IYCMB
父親說：「咁所以我而家咪一次過關心你囉，唔使原因㗎嘛。」321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwjpyqE6tV7
321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqoVzbHasMX
「唔使原因，但你有，因為想我幫你換燈膽。」321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjdIjUjvJUJ
321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8wBF3NjWNT
她語氣平靜。321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxqPOY2Vtpj
321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMRL4O53Ge6
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。321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEhKZbHrwDH
321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwo60K2NyJm
「衰女包！我生你養你，你咁樣諗我？」321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXbAtbvNYZN
321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrutzrFfgnx
她不應。321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMxhev9iE7s
321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJCbpsEZfhQ
「又成日唔返屋企，係咪拍拖啦？唔使理老竇啦？」321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡthDGd3c7wm
321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6Ui8w8U3mc
她不應。321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLDgZUoME1f
321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRbf2Xy1cnU
「都唔知係咪喺出面識埋哂啲飛仔，教到你咁忤逆。」321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRZ4Za13OuB
321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7Qwg7F1gQK
她不應。321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN4EAiZpQL5
321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBVdtJfGPtz
「出面啲男人邊度會真心鍾意你吖！你咪亂咁信人。」321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLn4xzjAfLx
321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4Rq7iRYEq3
她不應。321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWrth8Vc7CO
321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeAln7hAz2x
「而家有毛有翼識飛啦？出咗身又唔見你畀家用！」321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKobhOYuPjZ
321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtnmySzZDQ1
她終於應：「我仲未畢業。」321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcXSzVaUEQP
321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRiKKxFqDSc
語氣始終平靜。321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCEXF8tPW9M
321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp8o1O9gY8h
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。321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLZtH9myDH0
321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZmisNKKS7B
自從家姐離開，她便毫無預兆地代替了被打父親的角色。321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡETyrPuwJyl
321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWnLjyHZ2Bi
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。321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxGblP0Axjz
321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmMXa0SuEZQ
「啫係就嚟畢業啦，覺得自己好大個啦嘛！」父親又說。321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSVigK5gQDx
321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwBdWUMsAI5
她始終不應。321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmlKQKms4D2
