楊亦桐有生以來第一次感到無措感。明明是期待與爸爸久違的交談的,卻莫名其妙發那麼大的脾氣。別說他人,連他自己都嚇了一大跳,甚至無法解釋自己剛剛的行為。23Please respect copyright.PENANA1sNUIMOIYo
23Please respect copyright.PENANAO2nxeInWZW
「爸爸對不起,我沒有覺得煩,我……不是……」23Please respect copyright.PENANA2fWTfHVPoB
23Please respect copyright.PENANABNEDkpZlfI
著急地解釋卻又說不出原因,顯得愈像欲蓋彌彰。楊守生沉默地看了看地板上的狼藉,又望向急得快哭出來的兒子,笑了。23Please respect copyright.PENANAms7BoHFOeh
23Please respect copyright.PENANAIc4LIVWNdP
「嘿,小子,你最近是不是學習壓力太大啦?」23Please respect copyright.PENANAPI1fTdBfJf
23Please respect copyright.PENANAdkskyGTT6E
怔愣片刻,楊亦桐有些呆滯地看向自家爸爸,平時靈光的腦袋此刻遲鈍得不行。從座位上起身後走到楊亦桐身邊蹲下,拿起餐桌用的抹布,俯下身清理殘局。23Please respect copyright.PENANA16Cq0j36JW
23Please respect copyright.PENANA45pfAWnuTS
「爸爸和媽媽呢,不會要求你們一定得年年考第一,也不會逼迫你們得多才多藝。開心快樂才是最重要的,懂嗎?」23Please respect copyright.PENANAWLEvb6brcw
23Please respect copyright.PENANAlBivPlSymZ
語畢,楊守生捏了一把食物,惡作劇般地往自家兒子的臉上抹去。23Please respect copyright.PENANAegwX7ID0HX
23Please respect copyright.PENANAGWPan1Pw09
──沒錯,童逸洋那調皮搗蛋喜歡惡作劇的性格,就是承繼自自家老爸。23Please respect copyright.PENANAqJO2WIKzXC
23Please respect copyright.PENANAb3Xu6KKiKs
微張的唇瓣抖了抖,楊亦桐試圖想解釋些什麼,最後在接觸到那關切的目光後,轉成了短短的一句話。23Please respect copyright.PENANAUeHEXE6ZkQ
23Please respect copyright.PENANA2UrtvSBPBq
「……嗯,爸爸對不起……」23Please respect copyright.PENANAkhYY0sfu0V
23Please respect copyright.PENANAqDqKO4Ms1p
楊守生笑了笑,把自家兒子的頭毛揉成一團鳥窩,繼續收拾地上的殘局。23Please respect copyright.PENANAmVQov00osC
23Please respect copyright.PENANApa2w0zkXi0
或許都認下了『壓力太大』的理由,原本那尷尬僵硬的氛圍逐漸消散,再次恢復成歡樂嬉鬧的氣氛。童逸洋這次拉著楊亦桐出去外面玩,並沒有遭到他的拒絕。23Please respect copyright.PENANA3WJPEssJND
23Please respect copyright.PENANAXw0aNWVEQt
估計,楊亦桐也懷疑自己是不是真的壓力太大了吧。23Please respect copyright.PENANA6Zaj69O8bz
23Please respect copyright.PENANALrsri2ha8L
自那天之後,大家都沒有再看過楊亦桐發脾氣的模樣。但沒人知道的是,每每情緒即將失控之時,楊亦桐都拚盡全力忍耐住自己的脾氣,遏止那即將噴洩爆發的情緒再次傷害他人。23Please respect copyright.PENANAwG5nBqinAi
23Please respect copyright.PENANAHNTGi9LGmc
長久下來,他變得疲憊不堪,本來就不怎麼外向的性子又更進一步變得沉默。童逸洋不是沒察覺他的異樣,但不管他怎麼問對方都說沒事;而憑他那爛得可以的觀察力,也看不出個所以然。23Please respect copyright.PENANALqt3Jd7r0w
23Please respect copyright.PENANALLjhAF3t3t
到最後,他也只能在一旁乾擔心,什麼也做不了。童逸洋曾經為此感到難過,也不知道什麼時候哥哥才願意告訴他理由。23Please respect copyright.PENANAnRXca1OADO
23Please respect copyright.PENANAwTO680j2SV
誰知道,在他們倆十歲時,他得知了真正的原因。23Please respect copyright.PENANAJx7gj3P0Pt
23Please respect copyright.PENANAelx0dmVALY
但如果可以的話……他寧可,這個原因不曾存在過。23Please respect copyright.PENANAn0TbVfw34t
23Please respect copyright.PENANAEMGQIKgp3t
還記得那一天天氣特別炎熱,兄弟倆一如往常般在學校上課。楊亦桐連任了四年的班長,深受同學師長們的愛戴。學校老師教課時喜歡點同學起身答題,他們這對雙胞胎更是其中的熱門戶。23Please respect copyright.PENANABOzKmUZHuT
23Please respect copyright.PENANA5nCRu6fKmn
今天的老師又照例點了楊亦桐。在答題中途,不知是不是天氣熱又穿長袖的緣故,楊亦桐突然流下了鼻血。在全班的注視下,楊亦桐熟門熟路地抽出衛生紙擦拭,略帶歉意地微笑。23Please respect copyright.PENANAOa0EQnVWsd
23Please respect copyright.PENANAgy2ZF8VvLt
「不好意思,可能是天氣……太……」23Please respect copyright.PENANAxdQe41hZWh
23Please respect copyright.PENANAhfYWcGluSb
手腳彷彿突然不是自己的,眼前的世界一陣天旋地轉,最後被如墨水般漆黑的顏色染黑。身旁注意到不對勁的童逸洋立刻起身扶住了自家哥哥,這時他才發現,對方居然昏倒了。23Please respect copyright.PENANA2E4GFI6Dp7
23Please respect copyright.PENANAoQcEhTTZk3
「呀,班長!」23Please respect copyright.PENANAPiRDja64Rg
23Please respect copyright.PENANAQ7C7ILIbYy
「快送班長去保健室!」23Please respect copyright.PENANAZYIJHL1XOp
23Please respect copyright.PENANAmhGbsmLjGD
望著已經昏迷,人中還沾著被擦拭了一半的鼻血的哥哥,童逸洋覺得有種不好的預感。那預感就像一顆被投放到心臟上的藤蔓種子,迅速滋長寄生,最後纏得不見一絲紅潤。23Please respect copyright.PENANAISByMpwq9r
23Please respect copyright.PENANAkVZdK45LXw
在班上叫嚷著快送保健室的一片喧囂聲中,他的提案顯得特別與眾不同。23Please respect copyright.PENANA13soQTHw1E
23Please respect copyright.PENANAPzroPHw9ax
「盧老師,可以麻煩你幫忙把哥哥送去醫院嗎?」23Please respect copyright.PENANA66G6nQiBAk
23Please respect copyright.PENANAG6B3Mw9o08
醫院?23Please respect copyright.PENANAJES9JtFBtN
23Please respect copyright.PENANAan9hgOaxLt
盧老師微微一愣。雖說不是沒有學生在學校中病倒後被緊急送院的案例,可楊亦桐這應該只是熱昏頭了吧?有必要送院嗎?23Please respect copyright.PENANAWw1F1IC3VE
23Please respect copyright.PENANAvZFdGTCgmJ
年輕的女老師有些猶豫,但又覺得不應該直接反駁一個孩子的意見,小心翼翼地提出自己的意見。23Please respect copyright.PENANAbImKec5cXD
23Please respect copyright.PENANA2G0nJCpf5N
「這……楊同學不是中暑嗎?應該去保健室就好了吧?」23Please respect copyright.PENANAqkJpncDg9X
23Please respect copyright.PENANAf5YcsXmN9n
「拜託了,盧老師!」23Please respect copyright.PENANAsM8rNTH7sP
23Please respect copyright.PENANAfr8ENKkUJR
雖然盧老師還是覺得童逸洋小題大作了,可見他堅持又不像時故意逃課,最後決定答應著孩子的提議。在請人幫忙通知孩子的家長後,就立刻開車送兩個孩子去醫院了。23Please respect copyright.PENANAQUPCfEBio3
23Please respect copyright.PENANACYRrQgxjj5
在背上揹著一個,手上牽著另一個孩子的情況下踏入醫院時,三人組非常湊巧遇上了幾位值班醫生。其中一位胸口掛著『兒科分部』的醫生立刻上前大致看了看楊亦桐的臉色,隨後開口詢問。23Please respect copyright.PENANAsUSz9oLctc
23Please respect copyright.PENANALaDmyzxXEh
「孩子是什麼情況?」23Please respect copyright.PENANAeYg3ihB8zs
23Please respect copyright.PENANANBWv3Al1Sk
「醫生,這孩子在班上突然流鼻血暈倒了,之後就麻煩您了。」23Please respect copyright.PENANAevMeSCxI8u
23Please respect copyright.PENANAxe9Amhjbp3
盧老師並沒有堅持自己的看法,而是誠實地將當初的情況告知。值班醫生輕輕頷首應允,正準備轉身離開時,後方的男孩卻突然開口喊住了他。23Please respect copyright.PENANAb3lZ8k6sQf
23Please respect copyright.PENANAkXmys3mH8F
「等等,醫生叔叔!」23Please respect copyright.PENANAggEdCFstev
23Please respect copyright.PENANAPTJR3DfYlu
兒科醫生大部分都比較有耐心,眼前這位醫生也不例外。兒科醫生高大的身軀逐漸彎下,臉上掛著溫柔的笑容。23Please respect copyright.PENANAcoK2jxG9M3
23Please respect copyright.PENANAfJTJbhHhyy
「小弟弟,有什麼事嗎?」23Please respect copyright.PENANAxuO7A44BUQ
23Please respect copyright.PENANAvUp2QNMHWY
「我懷疑……真的只是懷疑!我懷疑,哥他身體出問題了。」23Please respect copyright.PENANALKwbq0eyV9
23Please respect copyright.PENANA0uZSoPl0Lc
病人家屬說的每一句話都得多加重視,即使這話是從一個孩子口中道出,也必須得謹慎對待。兒科醫生微微點頭,示意童逸洋繼續說下去。23Please respect copyright.PENANA1PHqzbB8ie
23Please respect copyright.PENANAJNjia2B6Im
「怎麼說?」23Please respect copyright.PENANAWY8tqgKB1q
23Please respect copyright.PENANAzIyyzmIWXb
「最近他好像一直都很累,可問他他又不肯說……」23Please respect copyright.PENANAd6s3eVngun
23Please respect copyright.PENANASZX2yfnSwE
即使有眼鏡擋著,兒科醫生依然看得出這兩兄弟長得非常像,估計是單卵雙胞胎。他知道,有些雙胞胎身上會有一種科學無法解釋的理論,卻又確實存在的現象──23Please respect copyright.PENANA7KlRRb17Jt
23Please respect copyright.PENANAPGzsIu51ke
雙胞胎感應。23Please respect copyright.PENANAi1uDIFcL90
23Please respect copyright.PENANAeRhTSEvmfm
當了這麼多年醫生,他從來不會忽視任何一個小細節。加上眼前這兩兄弟是雙胞胎,就更得重視了。23Please respect copyright.PENANAk9p9RXEggx
23Please respect copyright.PENANAUtUvh8cRm9
「你們是兄弟對吧?可以說得更具體嗎?只要是和身體有關的問題,即使很稀鬆平常的事情也可以說說,或許可以幫助我治療你的哥哥哦。」23Please respect copyright.PENANACDcHF1X5dU
23Please respect copyright.PENANAvQrblJvCYn
多平常的事情都可以……23Please respect copyright.PENANAXVB5g8UIyS
23Please respect copyright.PENANAn17kgtfLwp
垂頭仔細想了想,童逸洋決定將自己所知道的事情全部詳細吐露出來。23Please respect copyright.PENANATDmST69p5v
23Please respect copyright.PENANAkmCigxbtqI
「我哥他有低血糖的問題,發作時都會噁心嘔吐,吃酸甜的糖果後就會好一些。」23Please respect copyright.PENANA8k2al5KkMl
23Please respect copyright.PENANAFOzysWtJq7
「他很喜歡看書,看得都近視了還不罷休。前陣子因為看東西又更糊了,最近才剛換了一副。」23Please respect copyright.PENANApVfAhgrKAV
23Please respect copyright.PENANASsHMK1snZX
「哦對,他這幾年老是說頭會痛,我猜他因為看太多書了……」23Please respect copyright.PENANAqfgkOZSdfx
23Please respect copyright.PENANAwR8OdDgI91
童逸洋的聲音逐漸小了下去。不是因為他不知道該說什麼,而是他發現不只是眼前這位很友善的叔叔,旁邊那幾位在看戲的醫生的面色都變得十分沉重。23Please respect copyright.PENANACpmGfjnODX
23Please respect copyright.PENANAGp5tCcriKT
他畢竟還只是個十歲的孩子,自然會覺得害怕,下意識會想依靠熟悉的人。朝盧老師的方向縮了縮,可盧老師自己也被盯得很慫,根本沒注意到腳邊有個孩子在試圖尋求溫暖。23Please respect copyright.PENANAaudpzDFPtJ
23Please respect copyright.PENANAS5amWxuLm9
發現盧老師靠不住後,童逸洋猶豫片刻,還是站出來,語氣小心翼翼。23Please respect copyright.PENANAh6FEgpp4BK
23Please respect copyright.PENANA7oQw9us5Vc
「醫生叔叔,我是不是說錯什麼了?」23Please respect copyright.PENANAmjDBS3gROv
23Please respect copyright.PENANAttZPxmZGc0
「不,你說得很好。小弟弟,叔叔問你……」23Please respect copyright.PENANAIlZSuoiEpt
23Please respect copyright.PENANAB4rFclEgrS
這次開口的人並不是那個兒科醫生,而是另一個看起來十分有威嚴,頭髮有些花白的男人。童逸洋下意識看了一眼男人胸前的掛牌,卻是兩個看不懂的字。23Please respect copyright.PENANApneXxRF8Jj
23Please respect copyright.PENANAMwyiCkECQa
第一個字看起來是月和重,第二個字……看起來像留?不過好像和生病的病同一個部首……23Please respect copyright.PENANAbTYVd06V4w
23Please respect copyright.PENANAXR6PPHInyI
由於神遊去思考那兩個是什麼字了,以至於完全沒聽到男人的問題。在那個男人將他喚回神後,男孩有些尷尬地開口道歉。23Please respect copyright.PENANAQud0pLQZpD
23Please respect copyright.PENANA9CGH9qQ3co
「叔叔對不起,我沒聽見。可以再問一次嗎?」23Please respect copyright.PENANACmJqmwk3a3
23Please respect copyright.PENANAEkk56MGaHq
「沒關係,那叔叔再問一次。你哥哥還有沒有出現別的問題?比如說,無法抑制的情緒失控……」23Please respect copyright.PENANASi5DZyzPAX
23Please respect copyright.PENANAfoIQjR6y9D
腦中閃過那次餐桌上失控的一幕。童逸洋並不笨,在醫生試探的語氣中,他就已經明白這件事一定與他們臉色沉重有關。23Please respect copyright.PENANACtec3VbSZB
23Please respect copyright.PENANAPIxPICLrg1
甚至……與他哥最近的異常有關。23Please respect copyright.PENANAOkahyyeWNf
23Please respect copyright.PENANA2vY8ECyrEr
「……有,有一次,大約是半年前發生的事情……」23Please respect copyright.PENANAPZfV5FugyL
23Please respect copyright.PENANA14qEZt2SUL
隨著猜測被證實,醫生們面色又更加沉重了。兩人對視一眼,安撫好並安排護士幫忙看顧童逸洋,又將昏迷的男孩轉至病床後,就急匆匆地離開了。23Please respect copyright.PENANAdUunnumVjQ
23Please respect copyright.PENANAZJa9RrybJ2
送走急著回去上課的盧老師,迎來趕到的父母,焦灼的心情在漫長的等待中愈發折磨。伴隨著護士的喚名,這份不安達到了最高點,三人懷著忐忑的心情,緩緩走入會診室。23Please respect copyright.PENANAOSM39jWaCu
23Please respect copyright.PENANAMJt9Eb8YAK
而他們得到的,是一則讓他們如墜冰窖的消息──23Please respect copyright.PENANAG2tHnh6hDH
23Please respect copyright.PENANAVWQ8P6FLbg
是腦瘤。
