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。7Please respect copyright.PENANAt8t1yyCXzQ
7Please respect copyright.PENANArtLs3S40wE
「爸爸對不起,我沒有覺得煩,我……不是……」7Please respect copyright.PENANAejSVaQwJdo
7Please respect copyright.PENANADbDWauIhZx
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。7Please respect copyright.PENANABJTm2mg3CY
7Please respect copyright.PENANAMB1a6u800Y
「嘿,小子,你最近是不是學習壓力太大啦?」7Please respect copyright.PENANAHVlG0dfBsV
7Please respect copyright.PENANA9h6nSfALY6
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。7Please respect copyright.PENANAgPB197BZ3n
7Please respect copyright.PENANA0n5jIiDFyq
「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?」7Please respect copyright.PENANAAgsdnPDtI5
7Please respect copyright.PENANAq4XbfCDZDW
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。7Please respect copyright.PENANAzpXwonpGkd
7Please respect copyright.PENANAZRW73XlAF3
──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。7Please respect copyright.PENANAMS0eP553Yk
7Please respect copyright.PENANAYFevQtxxXU
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。7Please respect copyright.PENANApoF5wgPrMY
7Please respect copyright.PENANARdUg0t14W8
「……嗯,爸爸對不起……」7Please respect copyright.PENANAdsOcjtM9kn
7Please respect copyright.PENANAeU81ig7Q2q
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。7Please respect copyright.PENANA5BuB3gF9I4
7Please respect copyright.PENANAYRciKkiS2g
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。7Please respect copyright.PENANAie5cq9sSQK
7Please respect copyright.PENANAA0fjicAFXN
估計,楊亦桐也懷疑自己是不是真的壓力太大了吧。7Please respect copyright.PENANA2ETIdrN7ra
7Please respect copyright.PENANAsb1HIiJu9V
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。7Please respect copyright.PENANAO15HlOWncE
7Please respect copyright.PENANAzwRZOpsC6r
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。7Please respect copyright.PENANAQaFM5iNC43
7Please respect copyright.PENANASvKjnGoV49
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。7Please respect copyright.PENANASsBw8NP34P
7Please respect copyright.PENANA8CQyT6xml9
誰知道,在他們倆十歲時,他得知了真正的原因。7Please respect copyright.PENANAsl0SiyCjFF
7Please respect copyright.PENANAMvBwaMkkib
但如果可以的話……他寧可,這個原因不曾存在過。7Please respect copyright.PENANABOQ61yZuKy
7Please respect copyright.PENANAkEbG2A9ZgI
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。7Please respect copyright.PENANAniq4FdbA9c
7Please respect copyright.PENANAaaJlnp5YyX
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。7Please respect copyright.PENANAi9CnK9rTWs
7Please respect copyright.PENANA6ZC5kVSNUV
「不好意思,可能是天氣……太……」7Please respect copyright.PENANAX9k2X3b8eE
7Please respect copyright.PENANALedgFjHIxU
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。7Please respect copyright.PENANA603jLQRz9Z
7Please respect copyright.PENANA6nbYIamjvZ
「呀,班長!」7Please respect copyright.PENANAlQOgcToliM
7Please respect copyright.PENANAXOjhG7mJwZ
「快送班長去保健室!」7Please respect copyright.PENANAaFbh5CyzUg
7Please respect copyright.PENANAIj4y3mnleN
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。7Please respect copyright.PENANAOnd6yTN3FU
7Please respect copyright.PENANA15jKY5Qyc6
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。7Please respect copyright.PENANAScCLFHcMJX
7Please respect copyright.PENANAj0BQzXkYhp
「盧老師,可以麻煩你幫忙把哥哥送去醫院嗎?」7Please respect copyright.PENANALohcVt7swn
7Please respect copyright.PENANAXyB9qUY8sq
醫院?7Please respect copyright.PENANAGoWShhZ5L4
7Please respect copyright.PENANAhJ2SZ0iJQQ
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?7Please respect copyright.PENANAUyv37sg2Ne
7Please respect copyright.PENANACCmfmsHHsv
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。7Please respect copyright.PENANAiygFeXo4Il
7Please respect copyright.PENANADu0uQEpNT5
「這……楊同學不是中暑嗎?應該去保健室就好了吧?」7Please respect copyright.PENANAkGNLJwDfgE
7Please respect copyright.PENANAjbzqsMH1f3
「拜託了,盧老師!」7Please respect copyright.PENANAmvLYa06KfM
7Please respect copyright.PENANAiUk6eONsKB
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。7Please respect copyright.PENANAYLtQzBU5t0
7Please respect copyright.PENANAp4yTKi1izb
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。7Please respect copyright.PENANA76fChkyr5V
7Please respect copyright.PENANAee9akx3W6h
「孩子是什麼情況?」7Please respect copyright.PENANAzwLcfWxyvN
7Please respect copyright.PENANA1nLGoW1m0W
「醫生,這孩子在班上突然流鼻血暈倒了,之後就麻煩您了。」7Please respect copyright.PENANAv1TDjU6fDP
7Please respect copyright.PENANAtxtAU5Mw26
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。7Please respect copyright.PENANAxwOC2lqx8z
7Please respect copyright.PENANAIedqdDkZu1
「等等,醫生叔叔!」7Please respect copyright.PENANAcV9hPJCFpr
7Please respect copyright.PENANAMavuJ7QOQk
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。7Please respect copyright.PENANA7NfgspGstk
7Please respect copyright.PENANA8DSMMqqxfX
「小弟弟,有什麼事嗎?」7Please respect copyright.PENANAmojLFuEw5N
7Please respect copyright.PENANASSgMo1ziol
「我懷疑……真的只是懷疑!我懷疑,哥他身體出問題了。」7Please respect copyright.PENANAG3nzdyWqIy
7Please respect copyright.PENANA1ceoXKlDBP
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。7Please respect copyright.PENANAtXKrQCO6kd
7Please respect copyright.PENANA0Smvim85Oe
「怎麼說?」7Please respect copyright.PENANAvdViyBEfJ6
7Please respect copyright.PENANAPYuacicCru
「最近他好像一直都很累,可問他他又不肯說……」7Please respect copyright.PENANAjGXjkN3hzF
7Please respect copyright.PENANAGj48l0622M
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──7Please respect copyright.PENANAMeFZHvf7yC
7Please respect copyright.PENANAclTwvZvgyk
雙胞胎感應。7Please respect copyright.PENANAtQ6xksgURX
7Please respect copyright.PENANAkeFJ0Gdbns
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。7Please respect copyright.PENANAQQAHmF2bNK
7Please respect copyright.PENANArboXfcKgeJ
「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。」7Please respect copyright.PENANAeelcEftdrx
7Please respect copyright.PENANAoH4x3RWDpJ
多平常的事情都可以……7Please respect copyright.PENANAPv1kThx9ms
7Please respect copyright.PENANAuyyStIhQ8t
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。7Please respect copyright.PENANAh5bl0gseQD
7Please respect copyright.PENANAJqWSaPVM0A
「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。」7Please respect copyright.PENANAfMIXZFxdVs
7Please respect copyright.PENANAPlqLY5kNaI
「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。」7Please respect copyright.PENANA4X1Ssu6nyP
7Please respect copyright.PENANAmXzf93Rjns
「哦對,他這幾年老是說頭會痛,我猜他因為看太多書了……」7Please respect copyright.PENANANddqE45o8d
7Please respect copyright.PENANArRM4KqlFHK
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。7Please respect copyright.PENANAa5riYRdaG9
7Please respect copyright.PENANAynAzyTgq7u
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。7Please respect copyright.PENANA56MdpzkOzN
7Please respect copyright.PENANAqVr0rPOjpb
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。7Please respect copyright.PENANAeewmqIy8ny
7Please respect copyright.PENANAj9ycp8eFm3
「醫生叔叔,我是不是說錯什麼了?」7Please respect copyright.PENANAXIEgFtxOwH
7Please respect copyright.PENANAr5WuCbBvZG
「不,你說得很好。小弟弟,叔叔問你……」7Please respect copyright.PENANA2yECho8JQ6
7Please respect copyright.PENANAQpBqxRyRIV
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。7Please respect copyright.PENANAs07o7RS4J3
7Please respect copyright.PENANAyO7r6dpcZq
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……7Please respect copyright.PENANA04Gh8iOnCs
7Please respect copyright.PENANAevwEOai9zR
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。7Please respect copyright.PENANAw9AHQAHEYF
7Please respect copyright.PENANAlRwIuPKRrT
「叔叔對不起,我沒聽見。可以再問一次嗎?」7Please respect copyright.PENANAiNIA9FRjkZ
7Please respect copyright.PENANAmoYq3wCz8D
「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……」7Please respect copyright.PENANA2ufCuHvhWA
7Please respect copyright.PENANATTBvmFkpY7
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。7Please respect copyright.PENANAltL7FLK9Fa
7Please respect copyright.PENANAsJxxnv8l9b
甚至……與他哥最近的異常有關。7Please respect copyright.PENANARTPXYQ6RTL
7Please respect copyright.PENANAYT65k8xy35
「……有,有一次,大約是半年前發生的事情……」7Please respect copyright.PENANAxI13Dj7EdJ
7Please respect copyright.PENANA5DVXLp1uN8
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。7Please respect copyright.PENANATUtSwPiFPf
7Please respect copyright.PENANAZ1L2eB4nfn
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。7Please respect copyright.PENANApoUEhsqjGi
7Please respect copyright.PENANAmHOFQgnUIv
而他們得到的,是一則讓他們如墜冰窖的消息──7Please respect copyright.PENANAseb3tj7HxL
7Please respect copyright.PENANAZ4bK5wlWZM
是腦瘤。
