男人的掌心貼著自個兒臉蛋,本來還是涼的,現下倏地燙了起來。

351Please respect copyright.PENANAwSM9TUmXTu
「還好,不涼。」那雙灰眸泛著笑意,以前還能不在意,現在直勾勾地面對那雙眼,她幾乎忘記怎麼說話、怎麼笑了,更遑論幾乎僵硬的四肢。
351Please respect copyright.PENANAP31O9To0Mc
351Please respect copyright.PENANAFYC8yYTQEq
「我、我不冷!」她似乎退化到只會說這三個字,正努力想從腦中擠點別的字眼,卻被那雙灰眸瞧得找不到北。
351Please respect copyright.PENANANyLRCt3oP7

方才就應堅持遮著自己才是。

修長的指尖持著鐵夾,從一旁的炭爐夾了幾塊炭,放入泛著紅光的泥爐中,道:「此時尚寒,還是多留意些罷⋯⋯咳。」察覺失態,他以袖輕掩,隨即一哂。
351Please respect copyright.PENANA2dJgfKIcoN
351Please respect copyright.PENANAd7KdRMOhVx
「那楚先生呢?怎麼還受風寒了?」提起這事,她可有帳要算。她才沒忘記早先是誰咳得幾乎出血,甚至驚擾了院外的她。
351Please respect copyright.PENANArB5jH8ntq9
351Please respect copyright.PENANAkre9KFNkLw
「讓妳擔心了,是我不對。」趕緊道歉,他微微笑著,有人擔心他,真好。
351Please respect copyright.PENANALTW705ioz9
351Please respect copyright.PENANAnFdLghMsQS
憶起那日臥於雪中,耳畔低語那麼急切,化在心上卻那麼輕柔,她的小手溫溫的,貼在他的額上,成了隆冬時分僅存的暖意⋯⋯但,唯一讓他難受的不是寒冰刺骨,而是臉上的點點寒意。
351Please respect copyright.PENANAtbRif49Q7l
351Please respect copyright.PENANAbBcYeGZVUj
她竭力克制哽咽,卻因呼吸而露餡,他想抬手替她拭淚卻做不到⋯⋯低沉了些時日也總算明白她的倔將與溫柔,也體會了這茫茫世間,有個小小的、溫溫柔柔的人擔心著他。
351Please respect copyright.PENANAjbRfZmPm35
351Please respect copyright.PENANAhVg8SWCdAo
「楚先生若是真怕我擔心,就不應總想著犧牲誰。」聲音又小又悶,她抬頭看向他,眼神篤定卻面露著哀戚。
351Please respect copyright.PENANAlz8m3ZeUsa
351Please respect copyright.PENANAQHmgYGzt84
男人沈默不語,反倒是泥爐裡的炭火劈啪響著。
351Please respect copyright.PENANAxiSqGaTEO9
351Please respect copyright.PENANAQcjrAUAk2z
「你總想著犧牲自己,是嗎?」甜美的嗓音說著這句話,彷彿死刑前的恩典,聲音又輕又柔,卻字字如刀。
351Please respect copyright.PENANA7Ih4yrcmfK
351Please respect copyright.PENANAPqMmV5drOc
「⋯⋯。」
351Please respect copyright.PENANATsmLbZC1Ds
351Please respect copyright.PENANAUDfaIeA9ot
「逼我學著犧牲,是為了提前習慣⋯⋯你的離去嗎?」

「少主,這炭⋯⋯是不是有些多了?」
351Please respect copyright.PENANA53fuNA6QrA
351Please respect copyright.PENANARXHFoeyFjN
「先生怕冷。」她趕緊將手裡的炭一股腦兒全倒進儲放黑炭的鐵籃裡,動作俐落不拖泥帶水,尋常女孩子連個鐵籃都快要提不起來,她卻是一派輕鬆的模樣,只是那神情有些緊張,時不時瞄著窗裡的動靜⋯⋯彷彿屋裡有什麼猛獸似的。
351Please respect copyright.PENANAgqbNtLVwTc
351Please respect copyright.PENANA6xsWFX1rDb
趁著夜幕降臨前,她急忙送來夜裡取暖用的炭火,唯恐來得晚了。
351Please respect copyright.PENANA7LIjcEPmAI
351Please respect copyright.PENANATgBsGQvwzw
見那桶裡滿滿的炭火塊,全是上品,燃著無煙,灰燼甚少,對身體亦無害,她瞧著滿意了些,道:「那我先走了,勞煩你多關照先生。」語畢,抬腳就轉出了院門。
351Please respect copyright.PENANA5fYUVejjGE
351Please respect copyright.PENANAZEoHqVCQgZ
那小廝連忙出門送她,只見少主居然一路狂奔,沒一會兒就不見蹤影。
351Please respect copyright.PENANASzDxtp0NmF
351Please respect copyright.PENANAmHOVvi1dVQ
自從少主回到空桑後,就異樣非常,他也是見怪不怪了,說到怪異,院裡那位也是⋯⋯哎,空桑的人一個比一個怪,他搔搔頭,走回院裡收拾一番後向著院裡道:「楚先生,一切安排妥當,若無事,小的先回了。」
351Please respect copyright.PENANAGKpsn4x9Ro
351Please respect copyright.PENANAMO3fG9JCLY
不見回應,那小廝不過聳聳肩,接著向屋內深深一揖,隨即關上院門離去。
351Please respect copyright.PENANAj0PUBSEkB9
351Please respect copyright.PENANAJ8qujClg7G
屋內,那泥爐中的炭火熄滅許久,泥爐的主人早已不見蹤影。

「呼⋯⋯!」少女一路狂奔,直至一處林子方歇下腳步,她靠著一旁大石喘了許久,期間不忘回頭確認身後⋯⋯還好,沒有猛虎。
351Please respect copyright.PENANAtmyoyfTWj8
351Please respect copyright.PENANAnOpYgPYhM6
說楚先生是猛虎有些過了,斯斯文文、和和氣氣的,氣質溫潤如玉,他的手又大又暖,懷抱溫暖得令人沈淪⋯⋯他的唇⋯⋯想到那日光景,臉上又紅又燙。
351Please respect copyright.PENANAlcnJ8WtJRA
351Please respect copyright.PENANA3ovlwP1Bj3
她以為那樣的控訴會換來他的否認,哪知他全認下了⋯⋯她一面覺得心疼,一面又希望他否認⋯⋯他承認就坐實了,他的確抱著那樣的心思。
351Please respect copyright.PENANAD3QEs4f6RJ
351Please respect copyright.PENANAH2f9yFTnJU
聰穎如他,又怎會以為犧牲他,她能安然?
351Please respect copyright.PENANA1kWfm7XD7S
351Please respect copyright.PENANALnN5EToaIv
『楚先生不該對自己這麼狠⋯⋯算計我沒關係,但怎有人把自己也算進去?』說到這兒已是泫然欲泣,淚花在眼筐裡打轉,她拼了命才能止住聲,但緊咬著下唇的樣子,早讓他丟盔卸甲。
351Please respect copyright.PENANAeIFD5sjeAh
351Please respect copyright.PENANAIwtnDHFQQO
『我很抱歉⋯⋯小伊、小伊,別哭。』他捧著她的臉,看著那雙明媚又靈氣的眼不停地滾出淚珠,心中萬分後悔,只能不停地安慰著,一邊輕聲哄她,哪知她只是越哭越大聲⋯⋯。
351Please respect copyright.PENANAkByrSfQ8PI
351Please respect copyright.PENANAbx2kdFv061
『小伊,是我錯了!』那張小小的臉蛋全是淚水,再怎麼拭去仍是流個不停,他焦急地哄著她,見她尚無打住的意思,他輕嘆一聲,湊近道:『不論妳怎麼罰我,我都甘願⋯⋯但我捨不得妳哭。』
351Please respect copyright.PENANAihVCW4X1px
351Please respect copyright.PENANAU38NNxzGjR
想到這兒,她真想扶額,一開始就特別在意形象,疏於打理都沒敢見楚先生,哪知不但被人抱了滿懷,還在那人懷裡哭到抽泣⋯⋯要是再哭久一些,她估計都能枕著胸膛睡了⋯⋯好險沒有,雖然那腫得像金魚的雙眼仍是被他瞧了去。
351Please respect copyright.PENANADNL62qNaj5
351Please respect copyright.PENANAjpGAXBj0zI
哎。仰天長嘆一聲,她就是心疼了嘛⋯⋯想到楚先生聰明一世,竟連其中關鍵都未察覺。她都敢隨他入爐了,怎麼還能忍心看著他犧牲自己?
351Please respect copyright.PENANAiYIXz3xMJb
351Please respect copyright.PENANAsTHynAPBUj
瞧著這夜色,初春的夜晚還涼著,不知道他有沒有好好注意保暖?炭火應該足了,但那窗紙若是太薄就得換,那床被應該夠暖吧⋯⋯。
351Please respect copyright.PENANAsrYjGF8k4i
351Please respect copyright.PENANA5ATcTwfvbG
「小伊。」一聲叫喚打斷了她的思緒,只見那人站在月色下,笑得溫柔極了。
351Please respect copyright.PENANAu366iWWeMD
351Please respect copyright.PENANAUU6oBi5TgE
「!!!」呆了半晌,猛虎還真來了⋯⋯噢不,是楚先生。
351Please respect copyright.PENANAjCMAz5jZPq
351Please respect copyright.PENANAenwKCFcjsM
「瞧妳站那兒許久,夜裡寒,我只好過來了。」
351Please respect copyright.PENANAINUr3ik5ml
351Please respect copyright.PENANABcugw6oyKe
「你、你瞧多久了?」方才自言自語該不會都被⋯⋯?
351Please respect copyright.PENANAHZ8WQfzeiO
351Please respect copyright.PENANAOOW78D5TwN
卻見他笑而不語,只是朝她伸出手,待她一愣一愣地把手放進他的掌心時,笑著道:「從你一出院門時⋯⋯總不能讓妳在這夜裡獨自走著。」
351Please respect copyright.PENANAQtwaqkAwaw
351Please respect copyright.PENANAOtmClIXLRU
「咦——!」他果然聽見了嗎!?
351Please respect copyright.PENANAwHEDQ7EU68
351Please respect copyright.PENANAL4glj1FPNH
還有她紅著臉、對著天無聲吶喊的動作也⋯⋯被他瞧見了嗎?

351Please respect copyright.PENANANHQDCF4svy

被他牽著走回院落,一路無語。似乎也不必說太多,相伴足矣。
351Please respect copyright.PENANAkDfevLDjjI
351Please respect copyright.PENANAVQTizS4AM0
「抱著你比較暖和。」坐在院內,燃起火苗,他摟著她道。
351Please respect copyright.PENANAvUuoWP38XK
351Please respect copyright.PENANAwRX4otDxOh
她緩了一陣才找回話語,羞道:「楚先生⋯⋯山河迷陣不是這樣用的吧⋯⋯。」
351Please respect copyright.PENANA4CY5nXT2jL
351Please respect copyright.PENANAa8g5R278Fn
「想著妳近日甚忙,也不便多擾,僅僅是想陪妳走這一段路,但又怕妳侷促。」語畢,男人對她溫柔一笑。
351Please respect copyright.PENANAZ673UpopDr
351Please respect copyright.PENANArI3mDouKCU
哪有人這樣悶不吭聲就把她放進山河迷陣裡,而且場景太過真實,要不是他出現,估計她完全沒察覺⋯⋯她一出院落,便進了他的陣法裡,直到她走過那段夜路⋯⋯直到進了空桑最安全的地方⋯⋯直到松鼠、鵠羹等人能夠照看的範圍,才解除迷陣。
351Please respect copyright.PENANAuJTYAgdyPF
351Please respect copyright.PENANASQ5duSu2Vv
想起這幾日來都是東西一放就趕緊走人,羞於見他,他卻處處替她著想,擔心她侷促、擔心她的安危、擔心她受寒⋯⋯似乎這人總是這樣,把她放得太高,卻把自己放得極低,心中漾起一股酸楚。
351Please respect copyright.PENANAGXvXH0F0fD
351Please respect copyright.PENANARyhi1brAoE
小手揪住他的袖口,她輕輕往他靠去,輕聲道:「楚先生這樣處處替我著想,我卻無以回報。」
351Please respect copyright.PENANA8Ws2T1UTBZ
351Please respect copyright.PENANAVYwlvak8Wo
「無論何事,只要與你一起,皆是賞心樂事。」他要求不多,不過陪伴罷了。
351Please respect copyright.PENANAczdMXYYUqQ
「少主!」「快來!這兒的溪水好涼!」「楚哥哥!這邊!」
351Please respect copyright.PENANAmlFj7fooWi

一群孩子站在溪前向他倆揮著手。

春暖時分,恰逢踏青社出遊,她帶著幾個小蘿蔔頭一起到後山遊玩,同行的還有楚逸。
351Please respect copyright.PENANAh40SeTtz4f

「少主動作真慢!」
351Please respect copyright.PENANAGeny6m74KX

「小伊,不必顧慮我,且去同孩子遊玩才是。」
351Please respect copyright.PENANAIZo3XmsgA4
351Please respect copyright.PENANAVtud5e9oii
她輕輕扯住楚逸的袖子,道:「楚先生,我答應過你,要帶你來看看那片桃花林的⋯⋯。」
351Please respect copyright.PENANASBozjZ7v06
351Please respect copyright.PENANA2OXNFRxlZW
楚逸心中一暖,反手握住了那隻軟嫩小手,輕笑道:「那就勞煩妳了。」
351Please respect copyright.PENANANyy2hfAZGa
351Please respect copyright.PENANAx0uBwHitie
她朝遠處撇了一眼,還好⋯⋯孩子們都在認真玩水,沒人看向這兒⋯⋯前些日子捅破了窗紙,兩人的關係進展迅速,但還是別讓這群熊孩子瞧見吧⋯⋯她也是要臉皮的。
351Please respect copyright.PENANAkdGWSznAoX
351Please respect copyright.PENANAVRMvxJsoA6
她又瞄了眼身邊的男人,卻與那雙灰眸的視線相撞,彷彿早就瞧著她已久⋯⋯他道:「需要山河迷陣嗎?」語氣正經又平常,像談論天氣那般。
351Please respect copyright.PENANAyncyzjSxdj
351Please respect copyright.PENANAkwTNn3QxqZ
「不、不用了吧!」她慌得像是小祕密被人發現的孩子,緊接著道:「要、要迷陣⋯⋯幹嘛!」
351Please respect copyright.PENANAAXwu2cttz4

說得好像要做什麼壞事似的!
351Please respect copyright.PENANARYTTunZ1qt

男人輕笑,大手牽小手,帶著她往那片桃林走去,一邊道:「小伊若覺得有迷陣自在些,在下可代勞。」
351Please respect copyright.PENANAB7DYwacARH
351Please respect copyright.PENANArmjhIZR8wO
「不必!」她羞得只能捂住臉⋯⋯誰要那個東西,沒事弄什麼山河迷陣!

一路行至桃林,伊人立於桃樹下,他才發覺,從寒冬就期待的春日桃花之景,怎麼都比不上眼前人,朵朵桃花相爭艷,最美的那朵不爭⋯⋯卻艷極。
351Please respect copyright.PENANAmaPZTUTQu2
351Please respect copyright.PENANAgVcoVHDx0U
春風吹撫,裙擺蕩漾,她抬手勾著髮絲的模樣都能觸動他。
351Please respect copyright.PENANAFokahIZwy5
351Please respect copyright.PENANAaEalydBywG
展臂一伸,輕輕地就把她攬入懷中。
351Please respect copyright.PENANAgQyJ1R7A2I
351Please respect copyright.PENANA9042W06e0W
「去年深冬,若是無妳那封信,我不曾想過有日能博覽群山、遨遊天下,細賞桃花夏荷、秋風冬雪,如今更可仔細瞧妳⋯⋯」
351Please respect copyright.PENANAwNlM52PsfC
351Please respect copyright.PENANAAxLGdxRUJO
那無數的黑夜,他只能寄望那張信紙上的每字每句,每一筆、每一畫都烙印在心頭,想著她說這句話的表情、口氣,是他每回讀信時都會做的事。
351Please respect copyright.PENANA3S1ywt6WBs
351Please respect copyright.PENANAbertvpSfiS
她就是這樣美好⋯⋯好到他幾乎想把她佔為己有,從此再不分離。
351Please respect copyright.PENANAhA90uTox7G
351Please respect copyright.PENANAUinVha1F2q
「小伊,那張信紙上的字,可說與我聽?」

「⋯⋯。」她的臉迅速發紅,太羞人了!
351Please respect copyright.PENANAK7M9HdVDOH
351Please respect copyright.PENANAmp3VOcjm6r
他俯首埋向她的頸窩,語帶撒嬌道:「我日日夜夜讀著妳的信,卻從未聽妳親口說過⋯⋯。」
351Please respect copyright.PENANAz1SzJ7ZOoP
351Please respect copyright.PENANAW9POMX2H3o
帶著暖意的微風撫過,揚起了兩人衣袖,地上的影子融成一塊,飄落的花瓣替這畫面增添了不少詩意⋯⋯
351Please respect copyright.PENANAWY2Ia8MjjG
351Please respect copyright.PENANABV1djigXpO
「天晴一同出遊,細雨廊下對弈。」她靠在他的胸膛,極其小聲道。語畢,擁著她的臂膀似乎更加用力了些。
351Please respect copyright.PENANALQnERjaRYg

一張薄紙,僅兩行字句,卻勾勒出一幅美好景象,是期望,也是願景,當中有他、與她。
