全場的燈全部熄滅了,只留下兩盞白得有點蒼茫的射燈照着婚宴的入口。579Please respect copyright.PENANAOm0hmPCirm
579Please respect copyright.PENANAIJRPRFef8c
那是男女主角步入會場的重要一刻。579Please respect copyright.PENANAaB97D4KDwB
579Please respect copyright.PENANAZqwsTVEA3T
可是在桌旁的嘉賓仍然交頭接耳,有的還互相舉杯高呼,玻璃杯的敲擊聲不絕於耳,完全活在平行時空之中。579Please respect copyright.PENANAoEjG6kwqq7
579Please respect copyright.PENANA6UwjIZzkPs
「你對今次選舉有甚麼看法?」一位短髮女士問道。她本身已經很瘦,再加上黝黑的膚色,以及眼角的皺紋、有點內陷的骨架、帶點病態的倦容,在在都說明她的年紀早已步入人生的後半場。579Please respect copyright.PENANAtJpSOjHaWZ
579Please respect copyright.PENANAY9Zf25YMKM
「這你樣問,好像坐上了台灣計程車呢。」葉向東剛剛坐下,便被人問這種敏感的問題,若只說這真的是場公平的選舉,那明顯是違反良心的說話,但若直斥其非,那又未免太傷害她的玻璃心。579Please respect copyright.PENANA6DOKpNd6kM
579Please respect copyright.PENANAlQ1vKKblhj
何況他根本對政治沒有興趣。579Please respect copyright.PENANA3ZtAwDgwku
579Please respect copyright.PENANAUaB0FV4zaW
「是呀,我上次與張老師去台灣時,司機大哥全程就是問我們關於政治局勢。」另一位坐在葉向東旁邊、長髮及肩的女士說。雖然看得出她中年有點發福,下巴也慢慢地看不見那種年青的緊緻,但是她還微微散發着美女的自信。579Please respect copyright.PENANAFvuPvF5FcB
579Please respect copyright.PENANADKKD8Bv3pP
「鋽澪,那次真的有點尷尬,雖然我是台灣人,但離開太久了,甚麼人跟甚麼人其實幾乎都分不清楚,結果給問得啞口無言。」張老師笑着向葉向東解釋說。579Please respect copyright.PENANAn38m9huEvR
579Please respect copyright.PENANAvVaEjLHqdH
「原來如此,明年你就退休了,有甚麼打算?回台灣嗎?」葉向東問道。579Please respect copyright.PENANAmVAIkzQsgw
579Please respect copyright.PENANAd7SFwOByJ5
「不啦,可能會去加拿大散散心。」579Please respect copyright.PENANAofWY61o9Le
579Please respect copyright.PENANA1xvMvI6coR
葉向東與鍾綽澪都顯出一副不明白的神色。579Please respect copyright.PENANAFeIyYea1U1
579Please respect copyright.PENANApxdHa0KCLg
「我由台灣來香港,最主要的原因是因為覺得待在台灣的時間已經很足夠了,真的有點厭倦了,於是才把心一橫,嫁給我的丈夫;說實在的,我現在對香港也有這種感覺。」張老師說罷輕輕嘆了口氣。579Please respect copyright.PENANA8fXEUTy2pF
579Please respect copyright.PENANAIkVWcgOXrp
葉向東不敢追問下去,比如問問她對台灣覺得有何生厭的地方,更不敢問她現在又如何覺得要非走不可?579Please respect copyright.PENANAlZ1rk0thsm
579Please respect copyright.PENANALbK1JRJZ9O
這時新郎與新娘手牽手走過葉向東一桌的旁邊,所有人都拍着手掌,有伴郎拉起手提爆竹為一對新人開路。579Please respect copyright.PENANA2HK2aZeUjL
579Please respect copyright.PENANA5E0OsPOQXm
「想不到阿東半年前結婚後,現在居然輪到多多大人結婚了。」綽澪帶點感觸道。579Please respect copyright.PENANAZT1KAwgXmE
579Please respect copyright.PENANADI1VRGMkzX
「叮!」579Please respect copyright.PENANAHwNueBHqq0
579Please respect copyright.PENANADyKCeuwf8I
「家怡:579Please respect copyright.PENANAg0vHk9hfbO
我現在就回娘家!高鐵的票也買了!你開心吧!」579Please respect copyright.PENANA5SOa0YVgp1
579Please respect copyright.PENANAwc7xeZemai
從智能手錶中看到這樣的訊息,葉向東更加不願再談婚姻情況,他改變話題道:「我最近寫了一些關於納維斯托克斯存在性與光滑性的研究,張老師,你可以替我看看嗎?」然後便打開手機的流動程式,遞了給張老師看。579Please respect copyright.PENANAOn6E074yJ0
579Please respect copyright.PENANAEQewa7tFDj
張老師脫下她的金絲眼鏡,仔細地讀起來。579Please respect copyright.PENANA77wOT6qgo2
579Please respect copyright.PENANAN3RV1wXqMe
「很厲害啊!教書不是很忙的嗎?又要照顧學生又要改作業……哪裏還有時間做研究?」綽澪驚訝的表情着實有點誇張。579Please respect copyright.PENANAoLUJViXkb6
579Please respect copyright.PENANA4M8X2INArf
「我沒有在中學任教了,現在轉到赤柱監獄裏教囚犯啦,雖然他們都是重犯,但能夠在赤柱監獄中讀書的都是精挑細選,他們都會乖乖上課的啦。」葉向東以笑掩飾他的尷尬。579Please respect copyright.PENANA5WpfLzhPQL
579Please respect copyright.PENANAryp6W2drbc
射燈照着在台上的新郎與新娘,他們兩人在細數他們有多感謝身邊的人,但真正在聽的人着實不多。579Please respect copyright.PENANABcqbEMPhGm
579Please respect copyright.PENANARCpSAwa87W
「叮!」579Please respect copyright.PENANAcqxoQOGeQU
579Please respect copyright.PENANAkvCQ3Lvghg
葉向東還以為是家怡傳來的短訊,但是當他一看,卻原來是另一人。579Please respect copyright.PENANAyCIgdGIHw8
579Please respect copyright.PENANABOGAStohOq
「區穎:579Please respect copyright.PENANACISLG6Ch76
在呀!明晚有空嗎?一起晚餐?」579Please respect copyright.PENANAyaASigq0cU
579Please respect copyright.PENANAnIpBCjrOJM
葉向東想了一想,便暗地裏按下「OK」的按鈕。579Please respect copyright.PENANA0Oacxuw5aW
579Please respect copyright.PENANALERHPHF33H
張老師把手機交回給葉向東,皺着眉頭說:「你的解還不行,甚至無法達到讓・勒雷的弱解的水平。」579Please respect copyright.PENANA9CE1BW4V8e
579Please respect copyright.PENANATu7XsDlT1B
「但是若給一定的初速V0(X),依V0(X)而變動時間T,使得在R3X(0,T)之後,我不是證明了平滑的解是不存在的?」葉向東嘗試反駁。579Please respect copyright.PENANAoGcg7mPnuI
579Please respect copyright.PENANAdAo80yanPe
張老師搖了搖頭。看着葉向東一臉死灰的表情,鍾綽澪嘻嘻笑打圓場說:「你們說的東西我已經聽不懂了,離開了大學那麼多年,甚麼都退回給張老師你了。」579Please respect copyright.PENANAV2PSN4LdD8
579Please respect copyright.PENANAtUyXkKIRSt
「你現在是一間婚紗店的老闆,當然不需要這些東西了。」張老師回復原來的寬容。579Please respect copyright.PENANAuBkqvCMV7I
579Please respect copyright.PENANAEaII2zJge4
「張老師,你的身體情況如何了?」果然是婚紗店的老闆,懂得四兩撥千斤。579Please respect copyright.PENANAPbIjFmEZQZ
579Please respect copyright.PENANAtPzzqJx5oe
「身體情況算尚良好,只是要每天定時吃抗排斥的藥物。」張老師道。579Please respect copyright.PENANAUCULVMoMBG
579Please respect copyright.PENANArLbGpVj5vv
「大弟弟呢?」579Please respect copyright.PENANAuQ1XcmottM
579Please respect copyright.PENANA1LTQQvuMlQ
「張老師的大弟弟怎麼了?」葉向東問道。579Please respect copyright.PENANAgR9t9uecsq
579Please respect copyright.PENANAuIz7PvqXdi
「他之前中風了,現在的情況是穩定下來,但是他全身癱瘓,只有眼睛能夠轉動,所以時常發脾氣,因為他連話都說不出來……」張老師的愁眉又出來了。579Please respect copyright.PENANABEbBInLy9L
579Please respect copyright.PENANAoYZEmUDW2g
「或者他能表達自己的話,情緒就能得到舒緩了?」鍾綽澪說。579Please respect copyright.PENANA0h2yo1LTMT
579Please respect copyright.PENANA9g0qoxdZJT
「現在有一些軟件,能夠配合AR眼鏡感應眼球角度,便能打出相關字詞。」葉向東說。579Please respect copyright.PENANAB2Msp0foeV
579Please respect copyright.PENANAritcSwu7lf
「好像以前那個甚麼金科學家一樣?」579Please respect copyright.PENANA0FuEBiGmSA
579Please respect copyright.PENANAr79LIn7JI8
葉向東點了點頭,張老師想了一想,便說:「是的,我記得我有一個朋友在MIT研發這一類程式,可以叫他電郵給我試試。」接着便拿出她的智能電話,不知是不是坐言起行,立刻聯絡她的朋友了。579Please respect copyright.PENANAcLQw2f1tTy
579Please respect copyright.PENANAP4zMSnEUwI
就在這時,台前的一對新人高舉酒杯,正要與在場賓客祝酒,葉向東及鍾綽澪都舉起酒杯,張老師則還低下頭在按着電話。579Please respect copyright.PENANA1KFDKS5EM2
579Please respect copyright.PENANAcQutkflxZ4
「砰!」579Please respect copyright.PENANAwdfHlJRnal
579Please respect copyright.PENANAyRWXL9VPbG
婚宴場地並沒有窗,但明顯地聽到像雷聲的一下巨響,葉向東甚至看到他高舉的酒杯中的冰水在微微震動,泛起一陣波紋。579Please respect copyright.PENANAo7BUghrJle
579Please respect copyright.PENANAk8ptaNQmXk
「發生甚麼事了?」賓客都在互相問相同的問題。579Please respect copyright.PENANAO3Q78WiPPO
579Please respect copyright.PENANAmSs73O2kFA
氣氛有點怪異,音樂在巨響後不久便停止了,全場的燈都亮了起來,婚宴場地的部長走到台前,與新郎小聲地談了一會。579Please respect copyright.PENANAOy6yIUYXHG
579Please respect copyright.PENANAMk4ytmfOhP
新郎神色凝重,搖了搖頭後,又點了點頭,最後終於下定決心,拿着麥克風向所有人說:「多謝大家今天的光臨,但是在鄰座大廈發生一些事故,現在需要疏散。大家放心,我們並沒有即時的危險,請大家有秩序地收拾好個人物品,根據在場的職員指示,經走火通道離開。」579Please respect copyright.PENANAL1SE8rdr7w
579Please respect copyright.PENANA3DYYkSKd1I
說到這兒,部長便接過麥克風,說:「為免生意外,我們先由最近門口的兩席賓客離開,然後是……」579Please respect copyright.PENANAN7dxDrIQlH
579Please respect copyright.PENANAkII0j8sNPx
葉向東與鍾綽澪扶着張老師離開,張老師要一級一級慢慢而下,稍後面的賓客不知道前面發生的事,有點鼓噪,葉向東唯有側身讓其他人先走。579Please respect copyright.PENANATOmPJazYqa
579Please respect copyright.PENANAEAXFikcP0J
好不容易轉了五層樓梯,推開逃生門,走到大街之上。葉向東環顧四周,發覺整條街上都是行人,馬路上的車都停了下來,大廈裏的人都走到街上,像年宵巿場一樣。579Please respect copyright.PENANA4S9FiNmkQR
579Please respect copyright.PENANAKZDrTxEIAh
不同的是,所有人都不是看着前方或是看着身旁的貨品,而是抬頭看着天空。正確點說,是看着鄰座的商業大廈天台。灰灰沉沉的天空在燈光的照射下有點憋悶,而鄰座大廈的天台正在冒出一陣陣白煙。579Please respect copyright.PENANATI9jFzGfbf
579Please respect copyright.PENANA1ptw3nTvHi
這時葉向東沒有發覺,在身後有一輛藍黃色的雅馬哈R3,因無法在人群中穿插,唯有停了下來。區穎下了車,但沒有脫下頭盔,不知道自己是否應該慶幸來遲一步,她也與所有一樣看向同樣的方向,有點不知所措。579Please respect copyright.PENANAhTic5TZMBN
579Please respect copyright.PENANAyRqfppHbjY
「砰!」579Please respect copyright.PENANAutouUnTLwB
579Please respect copyright.PENANAk4HB83CzDN
突然再傳來巨響,所有人都嚇了一跳,夾雜着女士們的尖叫聲,但聲音源頭不是這一幢大廈的天台,而是從街尾傳來。579Please respect copyright.PENANAJyZ3BnL6p5
579Please respect copyright.PENANAsrIZVVygcN
街上的人都爭相走避,場面一片混亂。葉向東看向街尾,是另一幢大廈的天台有東西爆炸了,然後一樣冒起白煙來。有些碎片被拋上半空,正以高速落下。在街尾傳來大叫與嚎哭。579Please respect copyright.PENANAbRhwn6V5mV
579Please respect copyright.PENANAhEM6yDh1x7
「那不是意外!那不是意外!」鍾綽澪如此說。579Please respect copyright.PENANAX4POcVMLoP
579Please respect copyright.PENANANwWDIPrGuM
張老師在平地上行動較為迅速,走了大約一個街口,三人都檢查過身體沒有損傷,便站在騎樓底下喘着氣歇息。579Please respect copyright.PENANA86PIOiv7VH
579Please respect copyright.PENANAJ9mi1ZPJ4x
「還是儘快離開這兒吧。」葉向東說。579Please respect copyright.PENANAe5PX0RCMck
579Please respect copyright.PENANASfH1DfQdmN
「張老師,我送你。」鍾綽澪說。579Please respect copyright.PENANA7KavuTKrk1
579Please respect copyright.PENANA3TwIhFYN6n
「你呢?」張老師問葉向東。579Please respect copyright.PENANA1XO29eQL0q
579Please respect copyright.PENANAg7orECQuhJ
「我看看還能否駕車離開。」579Please respect copyright.PENANAfiDsH2dWNf
579Please respect copyright.PENANAALaDEFjwgA
「這個時間還要回去?」579Please respect copyright.PENANArcTmVL36ze
579Please respect copyright.PENANAZ9WGhFRAEM
「他會照顧自己。」鍾綽澪不容二人爭論,立刻說:「張老師,那邊就是地鐵站入口。」579Please respect copyright.PENANAoliWGIdL22
579Please respect copyright.PENANA5G9IXa6AF5
葉向東說了句「放心」,三人便分開了。579Please respect copyright.PENANAYreffVS6ML
579Please respect copyright.PENANADrMsKStMcr
人潮仍然向着葉向東慢慢地走過來,警車與消防車的警笛聲不絕於耳,由遠而近向爆炸方向駛去。葉向東猶豫着是否應該回去取車,在街上想了一想,這時從手機傳來新聞訊息。579Please respect copyright.PENANA4BlbiSbyD0
579Please respect copyright.PENANAFj9i1vDLUm
「【突發消息】香港多處發生爆炸事件,情況未明。」579Please respect copyright.PENANAOjD3W3qYR2
579Please respect copyright.PENANACVtrRn1Ddf
葉向東深深地嘆了口氣,心想:「我熟悉的香港,究竟怎麼了?」579Please respect copyright.PENANA4pWpqJJdty
