曾經有一個夢，作了將近一個世紀的夢。660Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzH6NkqvDOy
甜與苦並存的夢。660Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWiJIcVrYK3
夢，醒了，只遺下將近一個世紀的回憶...660Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR4n62XEPu0
還有，那難以理解的背影
———
01.660Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1P1PHF7or1
最初，是海洋的鹹味；660Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnM35viJJ1u
霸道地入侵這片海港。660Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdC30eJbzZm
「先生，這片土地只會令你失望。」660Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ442OH6CFEl
「也許你會令我失望，但我從來也不懂後悔兩字。」660Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVzIO5AEHMA
外國人的語言，無法理解。660Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6hfBkanDge
外國人的思維，難以明白。660Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDFk2U7BUk8
四片環海的小島，漁農為生的小島；660Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcs7B37dDqu
先生，你在期待什麼？
然後，是火藥的味道。660Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6MjwLTTMGV
「我在期待你的成長，Hong Kong.」660Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8mIMMDAaOT
那天起，這名字不再只為了稱呼小島而存在。660Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeewW5Pcos9
「那片廣闊的大陸，這美麗的海港，全是你的。」660Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhdUFpTphdN
那男人一如既往地霸道，身上飄散著難聞的火藥味。660Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD7c1f7q2Ey
揚起一抹罕見的笑容，充滿自信的，難以忘懷的笑容。660Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHVopiYR7H6
「我在期待你成長，你知道嗎，Hong Kong.」660Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡttu6738tVJ
異國的語言實在難以理解，660Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwbdiJ7NGPF
這男人，霸道而狂妄地騷亂人心。660Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWJ03WZ2cqn
「......Yes, Mr.Kirkland.」660Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzQ7UZ8eRv1
那是夢的開始，於是我輕輕地、輕輕地閉上眼睛......
02.660Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh50oHgCNPI

夢，太長，卻也太短了。660Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm4wwz3fg2S
承諾還未完成，天就亮起來；660Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgE9nqiyAmh
於是夢醒了。660Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5vrF33CC5z
剩下了那片玫瑰園和濃烈的紅茶香氣......660Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtYozcoKg9G
以及那淡漠的回憶，將近一世紀的份量。

03.660Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiHNN6sZsyu
時鐘指向3時正，古老的吊鐘發出了金屬碰撞的聲響。660Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqtZzI0LU4D
跟隨你的腳步來到院子前，分得一杯紅茶。660Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9kKj5GLlNk
茶味帶著些許甜香、些許苦澀。660Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlVcUhnveTh
「也許對孩子來說不太好喝呢。」660Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeRuJsSvS8g
如此說，杯裡的紅茶卻又被添滿了。660Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKrqGsrL7MY
「這片花園和我家鄉的庭園有點相似呢。」660Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4Th3hphdfs
碧綠的眸子凝視著一片油綠,淡淡地說著。660Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5FLLVyR7iC
而我則捧起手上微溫的茶杯慢不經心地品嘗。660Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOYB2vhNj4b
後來想起，99年的時光裡，有句話我一直也忘了說...660Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRNWsyVI6Yc
「先生，其實我並不討厭紅茶呢......」
04.660Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6Im3SI3tku
習慣是很可怕的事。660Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVKMHQtmsob
吊鐘在三時的聲響總能提起我的食欲；660Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuQMEq2s37a
一把太陽傘、一個玫瑰園和一杯紅茶。660Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj23ar29dY3
將近一個世紀的習慣就此成為一輩子的習慣。660Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY1G0kE9wAP
直到夢醒的那一天，紅茶的香味依然在玫瑰園中飄散。660Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF1wvv4oouW
偶爾，我還是會看著這片庭園想些不切實際的事。660Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWp4ctkljWK
例如說，自己感覺上是被設計了。660Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJkXpjuGfrE
和你家鄉相似的庭院、與你相處的時光、不能磨滅的習慣。660Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEZ47TlgFwc
直到看見那熟悉的紅茶杯似是故意一樣被遺忘在我家的廚櫃中。660Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz25vuUoums
抿了抿唇，660Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrto0sN7BXo
果然是被設計了。
05.660Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoQJWJtaxBF

夢和現實，理應是很易分辯。660Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhskr4S5Qi1
只是，太漫長的人生，連時間也無法順利紀錄；660Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡljkcSBzq7q
更可況是那零零碎碎的夢。
———
06.660Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwcntXYDUmp
——這是哪裡？660Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFYHOaNKPh1
鐵片褶疊而成的屋頂，原水泥色的牆，簡陋的寮屋。660Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ9NBDTIOCD
一扇木門悄悄打開，發出與鐵片磨擦的可怕聲響。660Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIbjf2YCWbC
「先生」瘦小的純東方人從中走出來，抬眸看向自己。660Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWLJuRAUOUC
「......我只是來視察港島原居民的住處，已經要回去了。」660Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA0SrDgRlRN
「......好的。」賀瑞斯跳上石梯打算跟上對方，卻被一旁的英國侍從擋下來。660Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlrvOyDcedx
「你不用送我，就這樣吧。」綠眸看一下靜得奇怪的男孩，語畢，頭也不回轉身離去。660Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQFt1YdTA7q
髒兮兮的黃種人，比土鼠更不如。660Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWMVQhBxdIu
「命令港英政府清理下街，太髒的就燒掉吧。」660Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYReZCrt4Ct
「亞瑟先生，這——」660Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCf4BVb09J1
「照我說的辦。」660Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC32BKyzz2p
「...是！」660Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy4r3GNdMo0
英國紳士帶著他的下人離開這片小島——660Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDxRKVm53Z6
假如、假如，他離開少年的時候，心頭一軟而回首的話，或者能看見一對永遠無法忘懷的幽黑眸子。660Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPO0jLE3aq9
660Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaJGPmct3oF

夢境被分裂成碎片，變成一塊又一塊的玻璃；660Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpeT1FVy0cn
碎片零散地落在心靈各處。660Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvYuyRgOc7G
不見了、失去了、消失了；660Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbjPENKcg5h
那無力挽回的碎片——660Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj7yj8vaaee
暫且，可稱為回憶。

08.660Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCZ2P56ovVg
那少年從本田手上解放了。660Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBx5S53QOCo
這是從阿爾弗雷德口中聽見的。660Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCnxUJOJrD5
那少年淡淡地看了東方兄長一眼，環視現場後低下頭細聲謝過，然後，獨自離開了。660Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP7ou27vpxJ
這是從法蘭西斯口中聽見的。660Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcNwQLvkdaT
那少年在檢查過身體後就投入家中的復興事宜。660Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKDQRc5v14z
這是從馬修口中聽見的。660Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7K7276w0kJ
柯克蘭抬頭看向倫敦罕見的晴天，默默數算著。660Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCOgsifgDgA
三年零八個月，現在是九月下旬，世界大戰早就結束了。660Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBC2gk8SHxL
然後，還有3個月，就到了黑色聖誕後的第四個耶誕節——660Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0XxjlPvTAf
當年，那天，他用一通電報把那少年拋棄了。660Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVCRS1r01AH
柯克蘭無所動容地提起手中的紅茶杯，有點想念香港的和暖天氣。660Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJqftP3PgSy
——還有3個月，就剛好四年沒見過那對安靜的黑眸了。660Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxpiIVhfRTX
上帝，這亦是他整整四年的失眠夜。660Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwXMk1Yi0Lu
660Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVQdCW1nLPm

回憶的碎片從指縫中溜去，660Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo4YJ6VsIYD
在漫長的歷史洪流中，重重覆覆地發生著這種事。660Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa8NDlpNhdm
就這樣，一直也混淆著夢境和現實——660Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMw5Wr7VzzX
因為哭過、累了，卻不得不醒來。660Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ99MY4m5O9j
已經無法分出哪一片是現實，哪一片是夢境。

10.660Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ37uY3YU0B3
時鐘指向3時正，一把太陽傘立在花園中。660Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPsYpUCIWQC
英國紳士身後跟著一個東方青年，兩人坐到太陽傘之下。660Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHomAkBW7gB
柯克蘭慣性拿起茶杯，慢慢品嚐著。660Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCnLfC5smVr
綠眸細瞇起來看向對座的青年，成長得意外出色的他只有一個壞習慣——就是在自己面前格外安靜乖巧。660Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡghItU2W05g
「賀瑞斯。」660Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS7pw7cTXiW
「是？」660Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmiWnFBUeTZ
「明天的下午茶，把紅茶轉成中.國茶如何？」660Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUtHKwpIwsp
「......」660Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0Ro2DmK0bK
「賀瑞斯？」660Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRS2pmUBiQ0
「......抱歉，晃神了——很抱歉，先生，我不認識能配合思康餅的中.國茶。如果先生厭了，明天我會換一款紅茶。」660Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOtFx7MZibI
「不，沒事，這款的味道也不錯。」亞瑟沒所謂地笑說。660Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMzbE3rfLme
從青年口中聽見不需要中.國的一切，而依賴自己的所有——還有什麼事情比這個更令我愉快麼？660Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8CG7BeH1p3
沒有。對，沒有了。
11.660Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeKBzAlMWGX
熟悉是很可怕的事，柯克蘭這麼想。660Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF8fRM8mUZu
他看一看手錶，5時正，中環的辦公室大部份準備下班了。660Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPIty6wgs0o
當然，他不排除那男人會選擇留在辦公室繼續工作，因為他就是一個工作狂。660Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVuN9am6327
『20樓，升降機閘門正在打開』660Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTxVdSeJtYy
現代化的辦公室全貌出現在面前，皮鞋在地毯上發出低沉的聲響。660Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi4jdZXSITY
「柯、柯克蘭先生？賀瑞斯他正在辦公室內，需要為你通報麼？」坐在門前的美艷秘書這樣說，他搖一搖頭。660Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwsMV9FeFjw
「不用，你可以下班了。」660Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgZeF8aiCi4
「但......」660Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkjKx1KjhSJ
「你的上司即將要下班了，親愛的女士，去享受你的happy hour吧。」亞瑟朝女性笑著說，然後逕自走向辦公室房門，敲門後直接進去。660Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqJWPIW4pnU
「——先生？」660Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwVcXoYQDkN
「嘿，賀瑞斯，我不太習慣新管家泡的紅茶，我想你不介意為我泡一杯，對吧？」660Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUN3xU8Q0oZ
不意外地看見這東方青年挑起眉來看著突然出現的自己，英國紳士走到對方的台前，掛起一臉理所當然的笑容說。
