明明是件好事,怎麼這麼愁眉苦臉的?姜劭謙在心裡嘀咕。239Please respect copyright.PENANArV6LBtRjhj
239Please respect copyright.PENANAQVhiYx0Axb
許晏誠騎車過去的一路上都沒怎麼說話。姜邵謙也識趣地沒有多問,沉默的騎完了五分鐘的路程。239Please respect copyright.PENANADvMyhFBOWK
239Please respect copyright.PENANA18lapzn8Lz
時間接近中午,酒吧晚上才營業,此時外頭的鐵捲門還是放下的。許晏誠向前敲了敲鐵捲門,一開始沒有任何動靜,過了幾秒之後才緩緩升起。239Please respect copyright.PENANAxa9KfrvxMO
239Please respect copyright.PENANAG2tOU4lt6m
白天沒有營業,店裡頭望過去一片漆黑,只有一小簇橘紅光點忽明忽暗的,沒多久小紅光點被人捏了起來用指節托著,那人站在門邊,呼了一口氣,煙霧瀰漫中眼裡含笑,正是阿萬。239Please respect copyright.PENANA1r9pKGtQ7m
239Please respect copyright.PENANAA653X773Nl
「歡迎光臨。」239Please respect copyright.PENANAjZYspKsQcu
239Please respect copyright.PENANA5RPVpvBb5p
阿萬帶他們走到酒吧最裡面。一路上經過了之前來過的樂隊休息室,最裡面的門打開有一個通往地下室的樓梯,他們跟著走下來,裡頭烏漆嘛黑的,阿萬走到門前開門,一開燈,室內瞬間一片明亮,裡頭居然別有洞天。239Please respect copyright.PENANA04DsuvWa9S
239Please respect copyright.PENANAUVXmB8CEik
原來酒吧的地下室就是練團室。與剛剛窄小的樓梯間不同,下方的空間意外的很寬敞,容納下八、九個人沒有問題。裡頭的樂器看起來也保養得很好,看的出來是有人在細心照料,樂器應有盡有。239Please respect copyright.PENANAo0NSGKWYOp
239Please respect copyright.PENANAQ6e30FE4dc
「你們盡量用。只要等快五點時把燕子借給我跟樂隊對一下就好了。」239Please respect copyright.PENANAhAhcIFo32Z
239Please respect copyright.PENANAtSxGlRVVAl
姜劭謙有點受寵若驚的點頭,撇過頭看,許晏誠只是挑了挑眉,不作任何評論。239Please respect copyright.PENANAU7nk7AWnTJ
239Please respect copyright.PENANA8nf2NiHq6T
氣氛不太對,姜劭謙出來緩和了一下:「謝謝,我們會好好用的。」239Please respect copyright.PENANA2PHDwD3v6C
239Please respect copyright.PENANAs3rfFW5lPM
「舉手之勞而已,不吵你們啦。」似乎知道自己不受許晏誠歡迎,阿萬語畢便笑瞇瞇的帶上門。239Please respect copyright.PENANAJX36aBwu8Y
239Please respect copyright.PENANA7xToUjz6Fr
阿萬離開後,許晏誠悠悠的嘆了口氣。「阿謙你其實可以不用跟他道謝的。」239Please respect copyright.PENANAVlstGMM9a0
239Please respect copyright.PENANA7dH7qdNkUu
「什麼?」239Please respect copyright.PENANATWGMFXGXUR
239Please respect copyright.PENANAsTDZzviHYt
「張維遠這個人什麼都會,就是不會做賠本生意。」239Please respect copyright.PENANAzztd4GAuJM
239Please respect copyright.PENANAYQVhXs4EA6
話說完,許晏誠接好了吉他的音源線,打開音響開關,把麥克風遞給他,問:「我們從頭開始?」239Please respect copyright.PENANAQF22S0MRgp
239Please respect copyright.PENANA2flJc7DtIR
決賽當天的舞台在戶外,不知道音響設備如何,但還是在設備比較齊全的地方多練幾次心裡才比較有底。239Please respect copyright.PENANAvGIgLMskCx
239Please respect copyright.PENANANRfP3VjHIm
練到中途,他們停下來喝口水,姜劭謙問:「你們幾點要表演?」239Please respect copyright.PENANA3W3aiLfiiJ
239Please respect copyright.PENANAATw2gVeUpG
「晚上六點半。」239Please respect copyright.PENANACAyyG7NmLm
239Please respect copyright.PENANAMJYs2LfJom
姜劭謙愣了一下然後問:「這樣你們只留一個小時練夠嗎?」239Please respect copyright.PENANAciPEqiuFJu
239Please respect copyright.PENANAhB5pN69TWu
「阿傑他們的曲子我彈過很多遍了,」許晏誠說,「我只是要對一下拍子熟悉一下,畢竟我很久沒跟他們練過了。」239Please respect copyright.PENANANIDBySvEMG
239Please respect copyright.PENANAsWuFr30eRy
「唔,」姜劭謙想起之前來聽表演時阿傑與他的對話,問:「你以前是阿傑他們團裡的嗎?」239Please respect copyright.PENANAQrbJikntUf
239Please respect copyright.PENANAMV0UsgXwhr
許晏誠微妙的沉默了一下。239Please respect copyright.PENANAMNK3aSMxJ7
239Please respect copyright.PENANAoQjxMaGeBy
「不是。我之前是幫他們代打上場的。」239Please respect copyright.PENANAE9z1e3QcwI
239Please respect copyright.PENANAXvEfAF2Te0
「代打?」239Please respect copyright.PENANAQ4wcAt1b5Z
239Please respect copyright.PENANAccvuS8XyPn
他的笑容轉瞬即逝。「嗯,稍微有點複雜,有機會再告訴你吧。我們繼續?」239Please respect copyright.PENANAexRP1xyp7c
239Please respect copyright.PENANASNof7ooNIU
將劭謙滿肚子的疑惑,卻也知道現在現在不是對的時機,只好把問題又吞回去。239Please respect copyright.PENANAvh6OB81ZcV
239Please respect copyright.PENANAr0OkSf0hxP
239Please respect copyright.PENANALB9gdbIagg
239Please respect copyright.PENANAnrSDU1o22e
他們練完最後一輪,外面突然來了兩下敲門聲,阿萬走了進來:「練的還好嗎?」239Please respect copyright.PENANA7pq7U7wkeH
239Please respect copyright.PENANA2yg3rx2U6j
「嗯,我們已經差不多結束了。」姜劭謙點頭道。239Please respect copyright.PENANA6Bb7SLF1dL
239Please respect copyright.PENANAQBlUnDQgEO
「阿傑他們到了?」許晏誠問。239Please respect copyright.PENANAWOoWHIaFcV
239Please respect copyright.PENANAJhPt7htrxu
「剛到,只是想先確認一下你們的狀況再放他們進來。」阿萬道。239Please respect copyright.PENANAg1FoeW3zYS
239Please respect copyright.PENANAe3j0oqVDDv
話才剛說完,外頭有人的腳步聲過來,其中一人逕自打開了練團室的門,來人身上是黑色夾克,連肩頭的車線處都滾了一圈鉚釘,腿上穿著一件緊身皮褲,腳踩經典款馬丁靴,頂著非主流的表情,整個人簡直像快溺死在重金屬池裡的龐克人。239Please respect copyright.PENANAec4xDgr12D
239Please respect copyright.PENANAMjVfANgNwN
「乾,許燕子!!!!」從重金屬池中浮出來的龐克人看到許晏誠的瞬間眼睛一亮,一個箭步衝上去熊抱住許晏誠,一旁的姜劭謙嚇得一抖。239Please respect copyright.PENANADVgJmSV3XR
239Please respect copyright.PENANAOEvSTsZu7i
「阿傑、你起來、我要被你悶死了,周、傑、倫!」239Please respect copyright.PENANARKAVvmMXfS
239Please respect copyright.PENANAtlFrtblAkB
「靠北,張維遠,靠北、」阿傑興奮地跳了跳去,還打了阿萬好幾下,「馬的你怎麼沒有跟我說今天幫秦哥代打的是燕子!早知道我就跟其他人講來看表演了、」239Please respect copyright.PENANAVySrjWEcPO
239Please respect copyright.PENANAv0IezUexKM
阿萬翻了一個白眼,道:「你他媽如果早一點跟我說老秦不能來我會不讓你們知道嗎?」239Please respect copyright.PENANARBzCZ0E1Ed
239Please respect copyright.PENANAkUUu8V61o3
「有什麼辦法,你也知道秦哥就那樣啊,之前明明說可以代打,今天又突然變卦說可能會晚到,我們也很臨時才知道,原本想說今天晚上剉賽了,結果,嘖嘖,surprise!哈哈!」239Please respect copyright.PENANAO2AwMbHIOD
239Please respect copyright.PENANAdzExtJhoxk
阿傑開始跟阿萬東南西北的聊,許晏誠正在難得的神遊物外不知道在想什麼,姜劭謙在一旁有點尷尬,他整個人在這裡顯得非常突兀,而且他看見了上次的那個菸嗓女人,今天地平線大概講好了dresscode,團員們也是一身重金屬搖滾風的裝扮,他不小心跟那個菸嗓女人對上了眼,她向他眨眨眼一面笑。239Please respect copyright.PENANAsjjnz5fI2e
239Please respect copyright.PENANA3jh1ln3KBh
…...她還記得我啊。姜劭謙整個人尷尬的手腳蜷曲,被她這樣一盯不知道為何莫名心虛,他在還在不知所措的時候她已經接近他,甜甜地跟他打招呼:「嗨,又見面了,你是上次燕子帶來的朋友吧?」239Please respect copyright.PENANAF6LusaqJVm
239Please respect copyright.PENANAmU9omDjcOX
「......你好。」239Please respect copyright.PENANAyEoPRLah15
239Please respect copyright.PENANAoS1Fk3z28g
看他整個人僵硬的樣子她整個人都笑開了花:「你看起來好像很緊張,啊,對了還沒自我介紹,我是Alex,幸會。」239Please respect copyright.PENANAcIKIGvJomS
239Please respect copyright.PENANAtkIjCYFhiI
「我是姜劭謙,叫我阿謙就好。」239Please respect copyright.PENANAZZ94wCvnmC
239Please respect copyright.PENANAn79fT42FGh
她聞言咯咯的笑了,問:「我叫你阿謙,你身旁那位不會生氣嗎?」239Please respect copyright.PENANAvC5A5RCsoq
239Please respect copyright.PENANAPoM43zhIBx
姜劭謙一愣,我身旁那位?他一回頭,正好撞上了許晏誠看過來的眼睛,想到之前阿傑叫他時反常的模樣,心裡一跳,「什麼?為、為什麼要生氣?」239Please respect copyright.PENANAfNNDKDcB3u
239Please respect copyright.PENANAvlPRi2dMio
Alex被他的反問給愣了一下,下意識眼神飄向許晏誠,只見許晏誠看起來表情不太明朗但也沒說甚麼只是悄悄注意這裡。239Please respect copyright.PENANALDEUuiUSZO
239Please respect copyright.PENANA8aDQDW21fg
她這才恍然大悟,原來這兩個還沒開竅啊。她笑得更開心了:「沒事。既然你說沒問題,那我就這麼叫你了,阿謙。」239Please respect copyright.PENANA9p0F3HNQAD
239Please respect copyright.PENANAM1qAGPYEqm
「嗯。」姜劭謙也向她笑了一下。239Please respect copyright.PENANAnSqGj7HU5H
239Please respect copyright.PENANArIMLX0nxSA
另一邊終於嗨完的阿傑這才終於發現他的存在:「咦,小姜,你也在?抱歉剛剛沒看到你,你也是來看表演的嗎?」239Please respect copyright.PENANAKtWsNh4fG4
239Please respect copyright.PENANAD6y3p116nu
姜劭謙突然有點不知該從何解釋起,許晏誠幫他開口:「我們跟阿萬借練團室來練比賽的。」239Please respect copyright.PENANAyMuIJOVeu7
239Please respect copyright.PENANACWrGmiwDo9
「嗯,比賽?什麼比賽?」阿傑很明顯狀況外。239Please respect copyright.PENANAujqX8PK5AH
239Please respect copyright.PENANAkKG0hJIdlm
剛剛一直在跟阿傑聊天的阿萬突然拍拍手:「好了,敘舊敘完了各位,要準備上工了。」239Please respect copyright.PENANAbi4FvHqYsk
239Please respect copyright.PENANA8E2UlJaV0A
老闆說話了,大夥兒都很聽話,迅速的安靜下來,揹著自己的樂器跟著阿萬出去了。Alex在臨走前跑來問他:「你等等會留下來看表演嗎?」239Please respect copyright.PENANAxayCcXhnSH
239Please respect copyright.PENANAu4y7oqcvL0
「咦?我、我還沒決定......」239Please respect copyright.PENANAbluvq2N8aE
239Please respect copyright.PENANA8avXN9Dsod
「留下來嘛,你也可以來看我們彩排,」她調皮的笑了下,「你不想看看舞台上的燕子是什麼樣的嗎?」239Please respect copyright.PENANApLls1vLBP2
239Please respect copyright.PENANAX0fXOqheZB
姜劭謙再度愣住了。沒等他回答Alex就先走了,許晏誠墊後,臨走前有點猶豫地轉頭問他:「阿謙,你會留下來嗎?」239Please respect copyright.PENANArpBjEx4MJv
239Please respect copyright.PENANAcMdJSrxeB7
姜劭謙也不知道自己怎麼了,鬼使神差地問:「你希望我留下來嗎?」239Please respect copyright.PENANAsTQuYFRkCt
239Please respect copyright.PENANAFpbNfV0t7b
他忐忑地等著他的回答。239Please respect copyright.PENANASVJz1EKLJh
239Please respect copyright.PENANAEYI79wgDsc
「想。」239Please respect copyright.PENANAkE5f6WKrH8
239Please respect copyright.PENANAg842jnXmDk
他心中的大石終於落下了,許晏誠看他的那一眼裡有說不清道不明的東西,思及此他心裡又是一跳。239Please respect copyright.PENANAz1i0bZx70g
239Please respect copyright.PENANAR8ybPR83f1
「那麼,等會兒見。」239Please respect copyright.PENANAzjgnmMoC8E
239Please respect copyright.PENANAnCqAxOzlUo
門被帶上,他一個人在練團室呆呆的站了一陣子,幾分鐘後,前台傳出了爵士鼓和電吉他的聲音,他們已經開始練習了。239Please respect copyright.PENANAxcZP8twkgc
239Please respect copyright.PENANANCPiutgxx9
過了不久,阿萬跑回來了,一打開門看見他還站在原地發呆,滿臉疑惑問:「咦,小姜,你怎麼還在這裡?」239Please respect copyright.PENANAMUZJKzhZ4s
239Please respect copyright.PENANA4PVJ7p4Nxg
「啊、抱歉,我收一下東西。」姜劭謙大夢初醒,轉身過去收東西,阿萬在他身後道:「抱歉,我不是要趕你走,我只是要問,你今晚想留下來看表演嗎?」239Please respect copyright.PENANA9GG3gL46tU
239Please respect copyright.PENANATbRphhc0jY
他收東西的手一頓,「......可以嗎?」239Please respect copyright.PENANApLHH5r0pUe
239Please respect copyright.PENANArz5rC7YiYr
「當然可以,我請客。只是今天晚上預約都滿了,所以給你的位子可能會特別一點。」阿萬笑意更深了,「你時間方便嗎?」239Please respect copyright.PENANAm4EvGRYXMh
239Please respect copyright.PENANAoyX32CpO6a
「我沒問題。」239Please respect copyright.PENANAzAmCNTDVK0
239Please respect copyright.PENANAqPsYMKqmQT
「那太好了,順帶一提,他們前面現在在彩排,你想來看嗎?」239Please respect copyright.PENANAqjP0CXVT5Y
239Please respect copyright.PENANAh67smZWNUs
---239Please respect copyright.PENANAv8kdyHkmZI
239Please respect copyright.PENANAK6PROYrAkR
「老實說,我也沒想到燕子居然會答應我。」239Please respect copyright.PENANAXSQO2vlDb3
239Please respect copyright.PENANA5IIAgTbFRw
239Please respect copyright.PENANAQdZuPto2Cl
姜劭謙坐在前台的吧檯,阿萬弄了杯柳橙汁給他,大概是記得上次他才幾罐啤酒就能喝到六親不認的酒量。239Please respect copyright.PENANAnvsS7sAb4c
239Please respect copyright.PENANAi5rFrKtK0L
姜劭謙一邊吸著柳橙汁,心理糾結著該不該打聽別人的私事,但阿萬逕自講了下去:「他以前高中在我這裡打工的時候,就常常跟阿傑他們玩在一起,他的鋼琴底子很好,所以一般樂團的keyboard根本難不了他,常常keyboard手不在的時候就是他來幫忙對keyboard的。」239Please respect copyright.PENANA1ALDuUCq3E
239Please respect copyright.PENANAZ729RqvFTf
姜劭謙靜靜聽著,眼神飄向了台上正忙碌的那個身影,與平時溫文的形象不同,許晏誠幾綹前額髮散了下來,凌亂卻隨性,有種與平時不同的帥氣,他專心的聽著拍子,聽的入神,眉頭微蹙彈琴的模樣。239Please respect copyright.PENANAOFAJq12YIW
239Please respect copyright.PENANACLISwoLcHS
實在是非常的......挑動人心。239Please respect copyright.PENANAgHQdCzSMxE
239Please respect copyright.PENANA6xs9LmQvhK
「燕子以前跟我們的一位keyboard手感情很好,當時他還是高中生,那位keyboard手是學古典出身的,兩個人常常會彼此交流心得,關係還滿好的。只是有一次,那位受傷了沒辦法上台,剛好那天是吧裡很重要的活動,所以我就先讓燕子幫他代打,一開始也都還好,但等到幾個月後那位keyboard手回來後,兩個人就有點不愉快,再之後......他就辭職了。」239Please respect copyright.PENANA7aa9ZAmSjD
239Please respect copyright.PENANAj9r5frpgh8
姜劭謙靜靜的聽著,視線再度放回台上,許晏誠背對著他,一個人試著和弦,背影有種寂寞的味道。239Please respect copyright.PENANAszph11VUvT
239Please respect copyright.PENANA3g9D9t57zI
「......對我說這些是可以的嗎?」239Please respect copyright.PENANAxAMAgb1pkz
239Please respect copyright.PENANA293uyjgPXv
「他本人也沒有想要隱瞞,只是在等待適當的時機跟你說而已。他剛上來台北那陣子過得很不怎麼樣,一個人離鄉背井跟他媽媽一起上來台北,當時身旁一個朋友都沒有,個性也不像現在這樣開朗,老實說有點封閉,是之後加了社團之後才慢慢開始變好的。」239Please respect copyright.PENANAjw74yHyri4
239Please respect copyright.PENANARZKixDiptR
「他從我這邊辭職之後,沒多久又自己建了一個社團,新社團創始期都是很忙的,加上還有學測的壓力,他大概也忙得沒時間去想太多,忙著忙著就過了。即便如此,其實我們都知道他心裡其實對當初的事情一直耿耿於懷,只是不說出口而已。他剛上大學那陣子我原本很擔心他,一直到後來,他把你帶過來聽歌,當時一看到你我就知道--這次不會一樣了。當年他身旁一個人都沒有,只有音樂陪伴他,這次不同了,還有你在啊。」239Please respect copyright.PENANAog6JJ6iEkN
239Please respect copyright.PENANALyMHMrRwb0
「小姜,你是他的錨。所以,你們兩個,今後也都一直這樣吧。」239Please respect copyright.PENANApQpG3Uhnui
239Please respect copyright.PENANAooeXSdKS2R
台上的彩排正好也進行到了尾聲,阿傑下完最後一個鼓點,所有曲目都對的差不多了。許晏誠擦了擦汗,走下台,一看見他們便朝著這裡走過來,瞥見姜劭謙身前的那杯喝了一半的柳橙汁,臉色不太好看:「他不能喝酒,你不要給他喝這麼多。」239Please respect copyright.PENANAAoRMXOzlA7
239Please respect copyright.PENANARjUQStYwJX
「我知道,這杯是柳橙汁,沒有酒。」阿萬道。239Please respect copyright.PENANA5PEte2BtgB
239Please respect copyright.PENANAJB0pcvie9O
姜劭謙:「......」excuse me? 之前那位主動幫我倒滿啤酒的人和我身邊這位是同一個人嗎?該不會是被附身了吧?239Please respect copyright.PENANAk7WxCHrXNm
239Please respect copyright.PENANAMko6FANwiE
「我酒量也沒有這麼差吧......」239Please respect copyright.PENANA1zNKqR5V2a
239Please respect copyright.PENANAmyEKHaqbEw
話尾一落,身旁兩位全部轉過頭來用一種穿透靈魂般的目光注視著他,姜劭謙被看的有點窘,自暴自棄的繼續喝他面前剩下的那杯柳橙汁。239Please respect copyright.PENANASZXrcNf2YU
239Please respect copyright.PENANAusEkN3kCYC
「彩排結束了,接著就是好戲上場了。」239Please respect copyright.PENANAg26JvO4A6f
239Please respect copyright.PENANAFfCpSwQ8m3
姜劭謙突然覺得有點緊張,天知道又不是他上台他是在緊張什麼。239Please respect copyright.PENANAO3ciaVd6zI
239Please respect copyright.PENANA4x0Yz4JHCL
阿萬在一旁看見他握著杯腳的手縮緊,微微一笑,決定幫他加一把柴火:「對了小姜,我忘了告訴你,今晚你的特別座在那裡。」239Please respect copyright.PENANAfPVrNx8o7j
239Please respect copyright.PENANAI7FhQNYlQD
阿萬指了不遠處的一個位子,姜劭謙順著他手指的方向看過去,確定目標的那瞬間渾身寒毛倒豎。239Please respect copyright.PENANAedyLjf6Gex
239Please respect copyright.PENANAaACE6TAFqL
「你、你認真的嗎?」239Please respect copyright.PENANA241krBHDCX
