那天早上，她像是什麼都沒發生。8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6lFOQutO32
她拍完照、換完衣服，還照樣和攝影師寒暄，化妝師說她氣色比想像中好，她點點頭說：「昨晚睡滿八小時。」8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL9EKloz9Gk
8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjuGUkAppCC
午休時，她坐在保母車裡，看著窗外融得一半的雪。她不是不想問他回來的事。只是她突然意識到：8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfovMfurejQ
8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYsSQyxJrhC
如果他想讓她知道，他會說的。8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeObHWR6Ccu
8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU7bxoQbGz4
他沒有說，那就代表——不需要她知道。8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNn3CrUAGpv
8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM9qeGZuOHH
她不是那麼天真了。8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOLRAIwkDOQ

當晚收工太晚，她拒絕了經紀人要開車送她回家。她把定位打開，好讓對方知道自己有平安到家。8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpqz2PWa8pU
她拉起羽絨外套帽子，沿著熟悉的路一個人走。雪正靜靜地下著。8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXkYhYXiWV7
8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG5RTg8Rc03
她沒有特別要去哪裡，只是腳自然而然地走向那座練習場。8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHAIZZ158dD
8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYhb5t9png7
那是從前他們放學後最常去的地方——通常這個時候，還是會有一個人在那裡練球。8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhhpNcpWPpf
這四年她沒有特別去靠近這裡，因為她不知道要用什麼理由，而且她不想打擾被留下的弟弟。8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7ufa4NF03t
8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSatks4DO0g
只是今天，她好想過去問——小凜，你知道你哥哥要回來嗎？8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpLPceVZSej
8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMe62UUwdiU
有回來就好。真的只要這樣嗎⋯⋯8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaluXzP23yz
8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAYfWgFnRd9
咻——8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH8Dzr0J0pC
一記完美的射門劃破空氣，靜夜裡格外清晰。8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6w7342Ihjf
8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhv3typ7i4l
「⋯⋯剛才射門的路線，會不會太溫柔了？」8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3BpqVFuYMr
8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxTyGaNQPFl
遠遠的，她看到熟悉的身影——兩個。8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMcKrAYYlmt
8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVlMe4mxw7H
她原本只是往那裡走，沒有其他預期。8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdRHTLZnZML
可當那記射門劃破空氣、落地聲清脆響起時——她看到他了。8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcflqeI5DO9
8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7gTgtQYGzD
不是新聞裡的畫面、不是社群上的截圖。8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUET4zMS30U
8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDb2U6dOtfY
是糸師冴，是他本人，就站在那裡。8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXp6qzZXIAD
8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGO04uSZ9UJ
她的心跳重重地停了一拍，然後猛地往上一撞，像是被什麼狠狠敲了一下。8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN8zMv6w61J
8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxbf7uXfLrw
她曾在心裡排演過無數次的重逢，在這一刻突然全都消失了。什麼話都說不出來，只能睜大眼睛看著他和那個已經長高不少的弟弟——8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTzVoxqPtKa
8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEsqGFDw1GO
看著兩個熟悉得不能再熟悉的身影。8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKNKk1xQUPS

8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡThNfI7SkWu
「啊、哥⋯⋯」8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxR6hqq8XL4
8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6ewItp5Ykb
糸師凜叫出口的瞬間，胸口有點發脹。8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeepKeGj21S
8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPgCcqO8ehc
他笑著開口，語氣聽起來像平常一樣自然。但其實，他的手指在發熱，指尖在抖。眼前，是他從小最想追上的背影，是夢裡會出現的人——8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuhV4wQZ2VJ
8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZyrvNxwNMw
糸師凜露出笑容，但糸師冴沒有。8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoCYFSStWfQ
8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrg7zjYuxvU
哥哥常常沒有表情，但糸師凜還是分得出哥哥是沒反應還是不爽。8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRmZgw0eqxK
可現在哥哥的表情⋯⋯有些奇怪。8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf5QkLqo0rR
8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb2pP0rV3Fa
「歡迎回來。」8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTHfKY1iyb6
8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYGrFbItmFF
糸師凜刻意用開朗的語氣說話。8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCqPMqwBqid
8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm0bufBPhcX
不知道是不是四年沒見的關係，他對哥哥感到幾分生疏，不過他還是很開心——哥哥回來了，真的站在自己面前了。8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmZB2yT36hM
8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNN3socLtLg
「嗯，我回來了⋯⋯」8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzNgzuc8WeK
8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡChQQieD8jR
相比之下，哥哥看見他好像一點開心的感覺都沒有。8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNHM4uCR7mi
8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWSvAtfZm2N
「哥，你是不是瘦了呀⋯⋯」8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvTVUkVNvMT
8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEdfR03LwFC
這個人好像變了——不只是變瘦，也不只是表情冷淡。他看著哥哥，忽然覺得有點看不清楚。8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjHfM6vWORU
8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3XkPmelyBy
「或許吧⋯⋯」哥哥轉頭看向散落一地的足球。8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGYowOyfCFB
8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZbfmdkrxeA
「四年沒見了⋯⋯話說，你不是預計明天才回來嗎？」8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1t8vFxF0KR
8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdLYwbjLODe
「嗯，我提前了。」8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYKB370KhFg
8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg1soCB5KQr
總覺得哥哥跟自己，有點距離。8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1U3fhs1q2U
8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6M9rfsMGQD
「是嗎⋯⋯我經常在新聞裡看到你。你在RE·AL的青訓營比賽也有得分。哥，你好厲害⋯⋯」看著哥哥身上那股說不上的詭異感，糸師凜說起話來也小心翼翼。8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoHEn5xK2eD
8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7YoxvAXddP
回應他的，只有無聲落下的雪。8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡamh0SMwsGY
8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ7pitvfocu
「喂，凜⋯⋯」8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC8ejrBmmyz

「是嗎——哈、怎麼突然這樣說⋯⋯」糸師凜笑著回問，捉摸不透身為天才的哥哥想表達什麼。8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4l7GBfcdKB
8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwvOXLhXsl5
「所以我重新規劃了夢想。」8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLYW1wL65Lz

他看到哥哥緊緊握住手，那隻四年前他們一起擊掌的手。8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfUSk72ObvP

街燈昏黃，雪片靜靜地飄。8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtOh0VB60h3
8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlKfTsAILVr
四年。 從那天機場分開，到現在，已經過了整整四年。8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBLZ2OuTyAg
8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGsX2uLPUH6
她沒想到，會是這樣的場景。8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq3QjTOLvrt
兄弟沒人發現她。她就像臨時多出來的角色，被劇情忘記的配角，靜靜地站在外圈，無足輕重。8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp3b4r08R9c
8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe6xTzWpDHL
她站得太久，腳指頭早就沒有知覺了，羽絨外套的口袋裡，手早已冰涼——她以為自己能忍住情緒，但那種被遺落的感覺，比雪更冷。8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡquxp3nsRa6
8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGSqJhaG2Wo
這場她等了很久的重逢，她卻不在任何人的預設之中。8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL3oVtpC14V
8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMbIzWgxNiI
「哥哥你不是前鋒嗎？當世界第一中場根本就毫無意義。」8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAvXH0FYxu4
8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ2wYOTQTmg
「少囉唆。那是沒有見識過世界水準的傢伙，才會說的話。」糸師冴的語調輕得幾乎像雪，卻冷得像霜。8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGsxUb9Mtvp
8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG0bnmREYQx
「什麼啊？」面對糸師冴的不容置喙，糸師凜當然不會接受，「你不是說要一起並肩作戰嗎？還說要讓我成為僅次於你的厲害球員？」8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmoCUVWNzos
8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFycdMtKO2B
「是啊，所以我作為中場，你以前鋒的身份，邁向世界第一——」8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq1eB7h50OJ

「——我是世界第一前鋒的弟弟！」8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0EKSuZGrMF

糸師凜大吼。8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3KonB0iZKz
哥哥的表情變了——他來不及分辨那是受傷、驚訝，還是無法接受。8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡauh2HH6At4
8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ3rgYRWcga
「你是為了說這些喪志話才回來的嗎？」8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡloBFTCT4kB
8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlhEIgKXDUM
糸師凜握緊拳頭。他們約定好走向世界第一的擊掌，那掌的力度，一直留在他的手心。8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAQr0K90wic
8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6UPO9AS0xe
「我不想看到這樣的哥哥——和我一起追夢的哥哥，才不是這樣的！」8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWUmiaH6oXN

糸師冴，表情動也沒動。8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIOfZeLSsco

她曾想過很多種重逢的畫面。擁抱、爭吵、沉默的眼神交會、再一次的三人彩蛋派對。8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrl9CxMfggk
而現在，兩個人立在雪中，一個撐著快崩潰的情緒大喊，一個冷靜得像事不關己。8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡacmV9FwC7h
8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ41O4f6vInH
而她，只是站在界外。8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvH0XwjolRD

她盯著糸師冴，想從那變寬的肩膀和站姿裡找回曾熟悉的他。8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2VjrYO8b2I

可她發現，他真的變了。不是身形變了，不是衣服變了，不是語氣變了——是整個人裡面，有什麼地方，不一樣了。8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvySK9WaDV8

那一刻，她心頭猛地一抽。8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR1Y0xmtihW
8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH1WNP9PKAt
那些話，她也說過——她記得那年夏天，等了一整個暑假，卻沒有任何回音的那句「對吧」；也記得分離前一晚，自己哭天搶地；她無數次點開對話框，看著那個名字停在頂端，一句話都沒有——她告訴自己，誰都不能代替那個名字。8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyTghjMevcc
8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk5PKRSjRrU
她以為只有她一個人是這樣的。8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEFGiZnIqR0

「我回來，是因為——」8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFkGbrjrTUe

「⋯⋯我只想贏。」8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl0ptC9qq5C

那一瞬間，她忽然覺得比雪更冷的，是他說話的方式。乾淨、決絕，語句裡沒有他們的位置。8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZfjtGI7NUq
8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuUzLZmS6Hu
「你不要隨便放棄我們的夢想啊！」糸師凜握緊拳頭，聲音哽著。8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnpxEEyTtgU
8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMB30DZszH8
雪花繼續落著。糸師冴沒有馬上回應。他只是沉默地看著弟弟，像是在回應，又像什麼都沒聽見。8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2Kkm2Ju6b2
8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyIXbIcGnpO
風靜了一瞬，連空氣都不敢插嘴，所有聲音都被壓進了雪裡。他垂下視線，低聲——像在對弟弟說，也像在對某個更深的自己說：8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlCtmhjRtKR
8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx1sEkblkz0
「我現在懂了⋯⋯」8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3stAXIz8q6

「⋯⋯球場如戰場。凜，你還沒弄懂這一點。」8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCKmeSWoOEQ

「一對一，一球決勝負。如果你能在這次贏過我，我就再陪你追一次夢。」8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpyhwypooKh

他抬腳，一球順勢滾到身前——糸師冴的神情已經接近陰狠。8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNYN7O6YxE0

「——但如果我贏了，我們的夢想就到此結束。」8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmVY1WzcUbk

糸師凜微微向後退，他強迫自己站穩腳步，視線卻模糊得不像話。他一再提醒自己，這個人是他崇拜一輩子的哥哥——可是此刻卻陌生得令人害怕。8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwzbGiDn4f3
