七月第一個星期六，烏雲蓋頂的早晨。我們沿著步道慢跑，運動背心和皮膚之間滲上一層熱汗。我看向隨行的二人，小兒子康朗還很有活力，妻子雯霞則搖搖頭，看來體力到頂了。482Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH5gf7VvkJS

「跑完這一圈，我們去吃早餐吧。」我說。482Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwP5CtYwaNs
482Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNR50puHGC3
康朗精神的大聲喊好，雯霞頓了一下才靜靜的點頭。我們放慢步速，在步道外圍緩步。482Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCV6dJToJUo

「早安，雯霞。早安，小康朗。」熟悉的聲音從後接近，｢早安，康和。｣482Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0NG3UogZ6C
說話的中年男與我並肩而行，我嘴巴半開，一副呆鈍的表情。482Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyzDFVIXksv
482Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd4MivtzcEz
「早安，華叔叔。」康朗大聲喊道。482Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjsjnRhtBtF
482Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8EIoSoEH5r
「早安，阿華。」我接著說，｢抱歉，我忘了繳付上月的月費，所以……｣我伸手向半空比了比。482Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIo6GExJXTJ
482Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFrWMQQaxXT
「我懂，我也試過忘了月費。是挻不方便的，平時一些理所當然的事也辦不到。只要到服務店補交就好，一切又會回復正常。」阿華說。482Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzHb9XU4RC6
482Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsZZ53YUnH2
「我待會就去辦。」482Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpgFDdLkHOW
482Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbD1exRyMOS
阿華揮手道別，往步道内圍跑開。我們走完餘下的路程便離開步道，前往鄰近的露天廣場。厚厚的雲層仍未散去，令廣場蒙上一層陰影。482Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqwppo5D1AQ

我徑自走向常去的茶座，卻被雯霞從後拉住。482Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDvFqEa3Bzs
482Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC7KWnFl0kB
「你要去那？忘了自己被切斷服務了嗎？」她說。482Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGdYerd4lRc
482Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0B0Rt4ge10
我仿然大悟，搔搔鼻子，｢現在的我連去取號都辦不到。｣482Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQl0vLkGaJf
482Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnlt4ErGqBm
「我們去排隊取號，你去服務店補交月費後再來會合。」482Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxb1Mg4WcYV
482Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDC77vwSd5j
我小聲應好，獨自離去。服務店在廣場另一邊，是一間不起眼的小店，只有忘了用電子轉帳繳付月費的蠢蛋才會光顧。店内豎著三部有大螢幕的機台，每部機台之間由膠板分隔。482Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXbHkp2Wtxy
482Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrbAUSYx2Bm
我掏出錢包走到中間的機台前，輕觸螢幕，畫面跳轉：482Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8Gn61yEFW4
482Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcA1wPBjsdA
「歡迎使用I Eyes服務，請將智網膜對準鏡頭。」482Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNcN63IWwNx
482Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6ANd8sLitb
我把上身前傾，視線對準螢幕上方的攝錄鏡頭。482Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmlcYHNKAHU
482Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcdL0zwb2mZ
「周康和先生登入成功。請選擇服務：」482Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKhMhogDbsG
482Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsHOmg94p7O
我閱覽螢幕上的選單，點選繳費服務，刷卡繳付了上月份的月費。482Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG8wvCffOcu
482Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZGhFn8NPmU
「繳費成功。閣下的智網膜將於稍後重啟，感謝使用I Eyes服務。」482Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0zyoEP2lau
482Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf7a9max3xV
我把錢包收好，步出店外。回到茶座，雯霞和康朗已經就座，我很快的坐到兩人對面。482Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNIIbZkFMvf
482Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFn6FD5Nvmp
「我為你點了A餐和熱咖啡。」雯霞兩眼發直對著無人的位置說話。482Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwEI3pRuBTr
482Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwXVK8HHnb1
話音剛落，侍應便把三份早餐兩杯特濃黑咖啡放到我們面前。侍應臉上浮現一個綠色方框，一旁標示他的姓名和職位，代表我的智網膜已經重啟。482Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWrhtaBQf1z
482Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKd7GgHenhh
「請慢用。」侍應微微一笑，轉身離開。482Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡciFSsgGr6n

雯霞和康朗面前各飄浮著一張虛擬屏幕。雯霞隨手拿起一件多士塞到嘴裡，眼睛緊盯著屏幕，另一手撥弄操作。康和半身趴在桌上，尊心觀看屏幕上的卡通片。482Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQxoViWHPJZ
482Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwFEqYJ5Cvt
我拿起耳杯，輕吹杯上的白煙。調整一個舒適的坐姿，一邊享受藍天白雲，一邊喝下苦澀的黑咖啡。482Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwdPybMD0N6
