從那天起,伊蘭不再用那種透過他緬懷故人的目光注視他了。取而代之的,是一種直面他的坦然。她會在練習的間隙主動找他聊天,會在某些小事上表達自己的關心,甚至偶爾露出些許玩笑般的笑容。47Please respect copyright.PENANAIECVSL5hG4
47Please respect copyright.PENANAXcHoxSVzsE
這種轉變讓他感到既放鬆又不安。從那種壓抑的目光中得到解放,卻又害怕她發現了替代的秘密。不過,在伊蘭遲遲未多說什麼後,他就逐漸淡忘了這件事,也沒有多餘的心思再想了。47Please respect copyright.PENANAzRC0SoYD7X
47Please respect copyright.PENANAJe4Zr8e8bh
時間就像逐漸腐朽金屬的銹斑,一點一點侵蝕著他作為『童逸洋』的認知。當他逐漸淡忘真實身分時,手臂內側那淡淡的痕跡總會提醒他,他是『童逸洋』,是弟弟留下的痕跡,不是哥哥。47Please respect copyright.PENANAnOtDJMWARz
47Please respect copyright.PENANAoTNfa3NUkZ
這種身份錯亂逐漸拖垮了他的精神。他的情緒變得極其不穩定,稍有刺激便容易引發暴怒或崩潰。每當周遭的人用哥哥的名字呼喚他時,他只能在心底壓抑著一股無聲的咆哮,明知道自己是『童逸洋』,卻被迫活在另一個人的影子裡。47Please respect copyright.PENANA7jRBcq71cQ
47Please respect copyright.PENANAG3VKjX2jHV
而這一切,都是他不經大腦犯下的苦果。然而,這場由他主導的錯誤,一旦開始就無法再叫停。47Please respect copyright.PENANAj3EfZJn6zj
47Please respect copyright.PENANAlvY4IwAwxw
因為這已不是他僅僅一個人的問題。如果他試圖喊停,當初選擇幫忙隱瞞真相的父母,必然會受到牽連。47Please respect copyright.PENANAyYG7XxIetS
47Please respect copyright.PENANAZOvDZhOsGn
在上大學之後,童逸洋偶爾會夢到一個與自己長得一模一樣的男人,質問他『為什麼要這樣做』。每每驚醒,他卻無法記起那個人到底是誰。無論是被取代身分的『哥哥』,還是被放棄身分的『弟弟』,他都懷著無法消弭的罪惡感。47Please respect copyright.PENANAIAlWqTYx8i
47Please respect copyright.PENANAmoItz0G087
恐懼與悔意,如同潛伏在黑暗中的巨大猛獸,不斷追趕著他,逼迫著他,就等著他崩潰的那一刻到來,再將他一口吞噬殆盡。47Please respect copyright.PENANAT24RNvQryb
47Please respect copyright.PENANA7mSXaGwg2j
終於,在他大三的某一天,這根脆弱的導火線,被點燃了──47Please respect copyright.PENANAseJPJsbCzm
47Please respect copyright.PENANABLgi94tkmx
童逸洋是住校生,平時星期六上完課後會回家,星期一再啟程回學校。那天正好是星期一,一家三口坐在餐桌前用早餐。今天的早餐是童思琳做的,簡單的雞蛋三明治搭配豆漿,是兩兄弟小時候的最愛。童逸洋神色懨懨,毫無胃口。47Please respect copyright.PENANAuBKIduCFmD
47Please respect copyright.PENANAEObzhLXEP5
最近的噩夢越來越頻繁,昨晚也不例外。再這樣下去,他能撐到什麼時候?47Please respect copyright.PENANAXg13U2PD1C
47Please respect copyright.PENANAJ9RGnPlMrj
「怎麼啦大亦,是不是身體不舒服呀?」47Please respect copyright.PENANAnttWhKFKYI
47Please respect copyright.PENANAy3p0KdMXNb
見兒子完全不吃早餐,童思琳溫柔地出言關心。她只是正常地關心兒子,但現在的童逸洋精神緊繃又有些神經質,這聲『大亦』無疑是莫大無比的刺激。47Please respect copyright.PENANAhGaRCtc4CT
47Please respect copyright.PENANANjDIybKtAA
所以,他爆發了。
童逸洋動作粗暴地推開桌子站起,桌腳與地板激烈碰撞發出刺耳的摩擦聲,彷彿青年內心中撕裂的哀鳴。瞠大的雙目佈滿通紅的血絲,彷彿隨時都能淌出血淚。47Please respect copyright.PENANAZW0EljVZ43
47Please respect copyright.PENANAgSwCBNZp7o
「我不是大亦,我是小逸!外面那群人不知道,你們還不知道嗎?!爸!!媽!!!」47Please respect copyright.PENANALjDUSxnw5t
47Please respect copyright.PENANAjMKip2FZwO
壓抑將近十年的痛苦再這一刻崩潰,似泣血若悲鳴。不受控的感情宣洩過後,他陷入一段空白的清醒,以及後知後覺的恐慌。47Please respect copyright.PENANAfcqAfG8V3e
47Please respect copyright.PENANAxIYccJLVtN
青年的大動作震翻了桌上的豆漿,乳白色液體從杯中濺出灑滿桌面,濕漉漉的狼藉像是一場無聲的控訴。父母呆滯僵硬地望著自己,童思琳的眼中瀰漫著濃烈的哀戚與霧氣,向來上揚的嘴角此刻卻抿得緊緊的,失去了平時的笑意。47Please respect copyright.PENANA1SNwREAuIn
47Please respect copyright.PENANAX627mn2dE1
眼前的情景,與當年楊亦桐失控時的畫面如出一轍。只不過這次,他不再是那個旁觀者,而是親身陷入其中的當事人。47Please respect copyright.PENANAJFiTV9Y3yp
47Please respect copyright.PENANAt4GvcrrU7R
咬緊了後槽牙,童逸洋提起放置在一旁的背包,不去看後方父母的神情,身形狼狽地奪門而出。47Please respect copyright.PENANAOIWnVVyoKK
47Please respect copyright.PENANA9n2uAegf0E
渾渾噩噩地來到大學,童逸洋一時之間忘了自己的身份,腦中不斷浮現童思琳剛剛的表情,內心那無處宣洩的愧疚快將他壓垮。47Please respect copyright.PENANAUQShPRAqGe
47Please respect copyright.PENANAPr21hoNMCU
當初提出交換身份的是自己,他有什麼資格去遷怒童思琳?可青年又確切地知道,他撐不下去了。47Please respect copyright.PENANA50VTjIBeBR
47Please respect copyright.PENANAAP1iGy9uao
要解脫又不牽連父母的方法……就只有……47Please respect copyright.PENANAyq71EIM23E
47Please respect copyright.PENANAYGj2K8Rdfs
「欸?這不是我們的楊桐桐嗎?」47Please respect copyright.PENANA5h14DeyrLY
47Please respect copyright.PENANA3linsggCYm
在童逸洋陷入思緒之中時,一道輕快陽光的聲音從後方響起。一名金髮挑染紅色的青年二話不說衝上來與童逸洋勾肩搭背,完全沒注意到童逸洋此刻的異樣。47Please respect copyright.PENANA4cm4IBotD0
47Please respect copyright.PENANAe9TjuOT0cq
這位青年是童逸洋的室友,名作許鑫陽。這個人平時隨和,表現也無特別出眾,與童逸洋交情不錯。只是有點重色輕友,經常蹺課並找他幫忙點名。47Please respect copyright.PENANAopOOEzJhKQ
47Please respect copyright.PENANAwdHvbTbsWs
這次,也不會是個例外。47Please respect copyright.PENANAEkpE240MAm
47Please respect copyright.PENANASyKc5q4vH2
「楊桐桐,我待會想去和女朋友約會,可以幫忙點──」47Please respect copyright.PENANAegZUVyUx4K
47Please respect copyright.PENANA3ymNKjv7NL
「不幫。」47Please respect copyright.PENANAXAVFuRuqMI
47Please respect copyright.PENANADczUUIKTSM
童逸洋此刻的內心中刮著狂風暴雨,一聲『不幫』已經是他竭盡全力壓抑情緒後的極限。但許鑫陽向來粗線條,沒察覺到這點,還不死心地想盧青年答應。47Please respect copyright.PENANAzpkHlZfXJp
47Please respect copyright.PENANA8skR2DC26p
「別這樣說嘛,點個名而已……」47Please respect copyright.PENANAEgMUI9aEMX
47Please respect copyright.PENANAvzGZJKNzC8
「我說我不願意。」47Please respect copyright.PENANA3swivn9r4j
47Please respect copyright.PENANANwJ2uOWczy
青年語氣裡的暴躁情緒如洪水般洩露出來,許鑫陽終於發現不對勁,卻沒能理解。想到自己的親親女友,悻悻然地埋怨了一句。47Please respect copyright.PENANAWqoH75spWn
47Please respect copyright.PENANAdScYAtkjpK
「衝啥啊,不就只是找你幫忙點個名而已,兇屁啊……」47Please respect copyright.PENANAqBOSsKZqv4
47Please respect copyright.PENANAKZnAjjlEu0
原本勉力撐住的理智,再一次瞬間崩塌。童逸洋赤紅著雙眼,舉起緊握著的拳頭,朝對方揮去。47Please respect copyright.PENANAeX9tTpvoNV
47Please respect copyright.PENANAXSbjf8RFRQ
童逸洋這一拳幾乎沒有收力。沒預想到對方會突然出拳揍人的許鑫陽躲閃不及,喋喋不休的話語在拳頭落下的瞬間戛然而止,牙齒狠狠咬到舌頭,嘴角滲出了鮮血。47Please respect copyright.PENANARawoItJPpN
47Please respect copyright.PENANAekeixioFjW
「靠!楊亦桐你發什麼瘋!」47Please respect copyright.PENANA6PtgGVZbhM
47Please respect copyright.PENANAUAMyy2TU6z
臉上挨了一拳的許鑫陽捂著臉,吃痛地往後退,且氣得破口大罵,但就是沒有要回擊的意思。47Please respect copyright.PENANAQsUA2fTgjF
47Please respect copyright.PENANAdwUErLEvcG
他不是楊亦桐!47Please respect copyright.PENANATXNEpTTF7E
47Please respect copyright.PENANAjFQc3JUsIE
赤著眼的童逸洋又一次高高舉起拳頭,拳頭即將再次落下的那刻,旁邊注意到異樣的幾名同學趕忙衝上來,一左一右將他拉開。被架住的他起初還在激烈掙扎,試圖擺脫那些束縛自己的手。47Please respect copyright.PENANASBeLPc0P6s
47Please respect copyright.PENANAn5F3RgHfbs
直到,耳邊傳來那道熟悉的呼喚聲。47Please respect copyright.PENANAD1oS77kTGF
47Please respect copyright.PENANADmruLjWzKF
「楊哥哥……?」47Please respect copyright.PENANAbZZoPsWOZi
47Please respect copyright.PENANA88rXDsXlSL
理智像被冰水澆醒般逐漸回籠,這時他才驚覺自己剛剛做了什麼。目光四下游移,映入眼簾的是對他指指點點的人群,以及就是滿眼恐懼地望著他的女同學。47Please respect copyright.PENANATQZYVYbt5b
47Please respect copyright.PENANATBOH647uNx
而在人群中,那個嬌小的少女正呆愣愣地看著他。伊蘭的眼神裡,充滿了難以掩飾的震驚……以及他看不懂的情緒。47Please respect copyright.PENANA8jN206Qsn2
47Please respect copyright.PENANAWed4LjNonA
他失控了……47Please respect copyright.PENANAP9DAKx9EoL
47Please respect copyright.PENANA3Bu7Vy81ef
「抱歉。」47Please respect copyright.PENANAicFz3ggOp6
47Please respect copyright.PENANAmue6Ro7LWL
一聲含糊的歉語匆匆落下,童逸洋掙脫了那兩位同學的束縛,如同驚弓之鳥般逃離了現場。他幾乎用衝撞的方式推開了大門,闖進空無一人的練習室。47Please respect copyright.PENANAkZOrIDhU4g
47Please respect copyright.PENANAP6gRwRZskH
他快步走向角落的電子琴,彷彿要撕開某種壓抑,猛地扯開覆蓋在琴鍵上的棉布,修長的手指撫上琴鍵,閉上眼開始彈奏起來。47Please respect copyright.PENANA21ADjsKtfh
47Please respect copyright.PENANAWdUgJ0Z71V
黑白分明的琴鍵發出『噹!噹!』的哀鳴聲,雜亂無章的旋律彷彿在釋放負面的情緒,充滿黑暗與毀滅。47Please respect copyright.PENANAebJhouy2WS
47Please respect copyright.PENANArvWyT3P856
在這片混亂的樂聲中,他依稀聽見練習室的門被推開的聲響,但他選擇了忽視。他的手指依舊在琴鍵上跳動,像是與自己心中的煩躁和憤怒進行一場殊死的搏鬥。47Please respect copyright.PENANAb8YKYJMks3
47Please respect copyright.PENANAvQG437RiH4
進門的人並沒有打攪他的『演奏』,而是默默地,耐心地在一旁等待他結束。47Please respect copyright.PENANAlSLDTT18yo
47Please respect copyright.PENANAOz2nHSlhB5
直到最後一個音符戛然而止,童逸洋微喘著氣,拭去額頭上的汗水。緩緩轉過頭,伊蘭嬌小單薄的身影站在不遠處,鹿眸中映現出他的倒影,就這麼靜靜地注視著他。47Please respect copyright.PENANAK0xIZWmM0j
