這天是個烈陽高照的日子。火熱的陽光映照著大地,這氣溫讓人忍不住懷疑太陽是否彷彿想將一切的水分奪走。額頭與脖子上沁出一顆顆晶瑩的汗水,在陽光底下行走的兩人都有種快被曬成人乾的感覺。29Please respect copyright.PENANAREMupvtKH6
29Please respect copyright.PENANAZuV7m06KJ0
「啊──好熱啊──」29Please respect copyright.PENANAmolEF05PDu
29Please respect copyright.PENANAYgUdw041Sy
趙奕菱忍不住開口第N次抱怨,尚妤婕認同地點了點頭,用手背擦掉額頭上的汗水。今天的天氣本就特別炎熱,被她這樣抱怨過來,本就已經足夠熱的氣溫讓尚妤婕更有一種泡在火爐中的感覺。29Please respect copyright.PENANACMr2Mdmybm
29Please respect copyright.PENANAcLtCO4ihHy
炎熱的天氣總會刺激人們血脈中的惰性,走到活動社團室的時間也特別漫長。遠遠看見底下便利商店的影子時,趙奕菱眼睛一亮,抓上一旁也在慢悠悠走路的尚妤婕的手,本來越來越滿的步伐一口氣增快。29Please respect copyright.PENANAVll2b0kfK2
29Please respect copyright.PENANAyZl3y3rFJ3
「走走走,小婕,我們去買點冷的吃!」29Please respect copyright.PENANAH3aHYAGDqt
29Please respect copyright.PENANARMdO7HE5Yq
經歷過半年,早已習慣便利商店商品百位的趙奕菱輕車熟路地從冰淇淋櫃中掏出一支抹茶味雪糕,二話不說就撕開外包裝。29Please respect copyright.PENANAw7oUta043i
29Please respect copyright.PENANAwR1uamLjaL
在便利商店值勤的員工早已知道他們這群學生的存在,只要他們事後記得付費,就會對這件事睜一隻眼閉一隻眼。29Please respect copyright.PENANABpL6v35slJ
29Please respect copyright.PENANAQ0M0m4945t
輕輕咬下一口冰淇淋,冰涼的軟嫩觸感在舌尖蔓延,瞬間驅散了酷暑帶來的炎熱。抹茶的濃郁香氣在口腔中緩緩溢散,趙奕菱露出了幸福的笑容。29Please respect copyright.PENANAvOJC0TxNRp
29Please respect copyright.PENANAgI4kmazLNw
「啊──活了活了──」29Please respect copyright.PENANAxcHwRqovJW
29Please respect copyright.PENANAKWCXbASg6Y
尚妤婕略為無奈地看著好姊妹消暑的模樣,但她自己沒有去購物的打算。她的零用錢不多,就是購買礦泉水也有些緊巴巴的,所以乾脆看著趙奕菱享受就好。29Please respect copyright.PENANA90RrBk4P0C
29Please respect copyright.PENANAEEG2Z3bbOo
三兩下就吃掉寶貴的消暑聖品,看著冰淇淋滾上僅剩的那一小口,饞蟲未退的趙奕菱覺得有些吃不太夠。眼珠子在商店內亂瞟,這時的她突然注意到櫃台處的奶昔機器,靈光一閃。29Please respect copyright.PENANAq3jvSboOs4
29Please respect copyright.PENANA3xBp7JzxXW
「店員,我想要一杯草莓奶昔,奶油雙倍!」29Please respect copyright.PENANAafkwXXiDGH
29Please respect copyright.PENANAENQeVSnFFI
將冰淇淋的包裝紙拍在櫃台上,趙奕菱立刻就再追點了一杯奶昔。畢竟是熟客,店員沒有先收費,而是先轉身去拿杯子製作奶昔。29Please respect copyright.PENANAudROlb4mSn
29Please respect copyright.PENANAwRd3b32KI3
「菱菱,這樣會肚子痛哦。」29Please respect copyright.PENANArGMkhe1Ljx
29Please respect copyright.PENANAE9JTtw4t1W
在經歷過酷熱又連續吃這麼多冰品,正常人都有可能會吃壞肚子,更何況趙奕菱的胃還比一般人敏感一些。趙奕菱笑嘻嘻地啃掉棍上的最後一口冰淇淋,攤了攤手。29Please respect copyright.PENANACHOQMgQ7kJ
29Please respect copyright.PENANANxVO2T8Vte
「才不──」29Please respect copyright.PENANAKGHpZwPLkr
29Please respect copyright.PENANAgdYM5aJqro
話還沒說完,嘴裡還咬著冰淇淋棍的趙奕菱手扶上肚子,臉色瞬息萬變。29Please respect copyright.PENANASC4ibhIzXI
29Please respect copyright.PENANAf6zGKXt8yl
「小婕對不起,我先去上廁所,妳幫忙領個奶昔啊!」29Please respect copyright.PENANAUzHq71ZC9f
29Please respect copyright.PENANAXiNdGTFd7k
「等──」29Please respect copyright.PENANAWc6chil80K
29Please respect copyright.PENANA2A2RrQlTUi
還來不及把後半段的話說出口,趙奕菱就以世界百米賽跑冠軍的速度衝出便利商店右拐上樓,留下尚妤婕在櫃檯處,一個人風中凌亂。29Please respect copyright.PENANASaFOJ6l9LB
29Please respect copyright.PENANA8F8jmFMqSz
「我身上……錢不太夠啊……」29Please respect copyright.PENANArqbc5SBxew
29Please respect copyright.PENANAE9XtVFdKba
在奶昔做好後,尚妤婕弱小可憐又無助地站在櫃台尷尬不已。她身上的錢只夠支付趙奕菱吃掉的冰淇淋,完全無法再多支付一杯草莓奶昔的錢。好在店員看出她的窘境,就讓她帶著奶昔去樓上與同學拿,店員則先自己墊付。29Please respect copyright.PENANAng2FNiPZNq
29Please respect copyright.PENANA1bHrKOTGU9
鬆了一口氣,手上拿著那杯粉色奶昔,走上樓梯間,推開那扇已經推開過無數次的大門──29Please respect copyright.PENANAak7jGowugK
29Please respect copyright.PENANAFBC5EaKFuw
『砰!』29Please respect copyright.PENANAnRbxGe3Pug
29Please respect copyright.PENANAqEbzaRo8Eu
「生日快樂!」29Please respect copyright.PENANAtkFSBmEhf7
29Please respect copyright.PENANAkhRuaP0zOZ
五顏六色的彩帶伴隨著響亮的彩砲聲突然噴到自己身上,尚妤婕頓時被嚇得目瞪口呆,好一陣子才回過神來。有幾條彩帶掛在她的頭上和肩膀上,甚至鼻頭上也掛著一根短短的粉色彩帶,看起來有些滑稽。29Please respect copyright.PENANAzl46uPUSd3
29Please respect copyright.PENANAKbLyuZeziX
「小婕,生日快樂!」29Please respect copyright.PENANAocPqHVypu0
29Please respect copyright.PENANA3ZUWd8cd7T
看著好姊妹嚇傻的模樣,趙亦菱笑嘻嘻地取下掛在她身上的彩帶,將某樣東西放在她的手上。尚妤婕這時才回過神來,不只趙亦菱,社團中的所有人此時都聚集在練習室裡,每個人都面帶笑容與善意。29Please respect copyright.PENANAuqG7mOClYC
29Please respect copyright.PENANAaViBiesDtl
而趙亦菱剛剛放入她手中的,是一張……有些略舊,看起來沒開封過的音樂專輯。29Please respect copyright.PENANAfol1kyZfny
29Please respect copyright.PENANAyAbhEiyC53
正確來說,那是當年兩人初遇時,趙亦菱塞給她聽的歌曲專輯。而這份專輯,早已隨著樂團退出音樂圈後成為絕版專輯了。29Please respect copyright.PENANAeGCGS3PbDD
29Please respect copyright.PENANAA7YAJGDjhL
「這,這是……」29Please respect copyright.PENANAp1P3VDYfbJ
29Please respect copyright.PENANAafjjZL5MJP
「這個啊,是大家一起送妳的禮物喔!我提議的,姓傘的找的,社長集資一起買的!不過說實話真的蠻難找的,畢竟已經過去多年了,加上這個樂團也退圈了,很少人願意脫手……」29Please respect copyright.PENANAlXim7UaVWh
29Please respect copyright.PENANAXsagJTVfkI
「但我知道妳一直很喜歡當初那首歌,我自己那張早就壞了又沒辦法轉讓,所以我就找大家一起幫忙找找看。能找到一份未開封過的,真的是運氣好!」29Please respect copyright.PENANA77Za2kJnKK
29Please respect copyright.PENANAUSIFRg7L2C
尚妤婕輕輕撫過那張專輯。29Please respect copyright.PENANAL37nrBNJFN
29Please respect copyright.PENANATbDLjLe5EF
就是這份專輯中的音樂,在她黑暗壓抑的人生中照射進一道光,帶她走入音樂的世界。若不是因為這首歌,若不是趙奕菱,她……可能早就已經『壞了』吧。29Please respect copyright.PENANAYhc4H2Wwr5
29Please respect copyright.PENANA5ekR0TK9Gr
「謝,謝謝大家……」29Please respect copyright.PENANAdZzK7Zd475
29Please respect copyright.PENANACUpuTKAslY
尚妤婕語帶哽咽,珍惜萬分地抱著那張承載著滿滿心意的專輯。29Please respect copyright.PENANAP8ABawrVQZ
29Please respect copyright.PENANA02dsL2F55z
「是說小婕啊,我從沒聽你唱過歌呢,要不要趁機上去唱一首看看啊?」29Please respect copyright.PENANAcFOBUHzmCs
29Please respect copyright.PENANAGvFsYSNqJm
「欸?」29Please respect copyright.PENANAgwpmdofVIt
29Please respect copyright.PENANA07aFwobf4H
「唱一首!唱一首!」29Please respect copyright.PENANAWK2NSVTzNT
29Please respect copyright.PENANAk2Emf6vzLo
當事人眼眶還帶著淚呢,沒想到趙亦菱突然就拋出這麼個話題。幾個不嫌事大的就跟著開始起鬨,到最後連內向乖巧的伊蘭和沉穩冷靜的楊亦桐也被帶著一起鬨。29Please respect copyright.PENANAh65qTx7xUb
29Please respect copyright.PENANAuc2y0WpYN5
尚妤婕被這起鬨聲鬧得臉紅撲撲的,還來不及說什麼,就被趙奕菱和伊蘭半推半就地走到了麥克風前。她扭扭捏捏地撫上麥克風,發出連麥克風都有點收不太到音的音量的聲音──29Please respect copyright.PENANA5CLh8wXV7j
29Please respect copyright.PENANAPrGOLn6U9w
「我……唱得不太好喔……」29Please respect copyright.PENANAyupJfCOePL
29Please respect copyright.PENANAd9mVI0Lg3u
在眾人又一次起鬨後,尚妤婕深吸一口氣,回想起那首聽過無數遍的歌,輕聲開口吟唱了起來。29Please respect copyright.PENANArDLsk6tKkz
29Please respect copyright.PENANAuZ2qzmXji4
乾淨剔透。29Please respect copyright.PENANAAhyVhbeEkq
29Please respect copyright.PENANAc2Z9TB7Ing
歌唱技術絕不能算好,卻有著獨特的感染力。起鬨聲早就在尚妤婕開口歌唱的時候停了下來,所有人震驚於尚妤婕的歌聲後,就開始慢慢沉浸於她美妙的歌喉中。29Please respect copyright.PENANApDMEZtdCXp
29Please respect copyright.PENANAjg7df1Xc9f
趙奕菱眼睛亮了亮,對著會樂器的那幾個人招了招手,走到樂器前,開始跟著尚妤婕的節奏慢慢彈奏起配樂。29Please respect copyright.PENANANqtHkFDF1Z
29Please respect copyright.PENANA9jOlGbRiZC
不論過了多少年,這天的生日依然深深地刻在尚妤婕的心上。那是她第一次唱歌,第一次得到這麼多的誇讚,第一次在喜歡的事情上得到稱讚的一天。29Please respect copyright.PENANAZpLtaIysDJ
29Please respect copyright.PENANA6piw0O9dvG
一段,人生中最難忘的回憶。
