《天涯海角》极北苦寒之地的老母亲

7、第 7 章

　　拍摄完毕，跟众人道别，靳时川拉了杨萧的手，给她买了一杯热可可，两人上了双层巴士的顶层。天色渐暗，看着爱丁堡城里到处穿着长大衣赶路回家的人，路人对话呼出的白雾，还有古旧的建筑物前石板街，杨萧在这个陌生的国度，放下一切，竟然感到异常宁静。靳时川拿出无线耳机，分了一个给杨萧，又把她的手紧紧抓住放进自己大衣口袋，“饿不饿？回家我给你做吃的。”杨萧把头靠在他胸前，点点头。

　　\"I\'m here, just like I said
　　Though it\'s breaking every rule I\'ve ever made
　　My racing heart is just the same
　　Why make it strong to break it once again?
　　And I\'d love to say I do
　　Give everything to you
　　But I could never now be true

　　So I say
　　I think I better leave right now
　　Before I fall any deeper
　　I think I better leave right now
　　Feeling weaker and weaker
　　Somebody better show me how
　　Before I fall any deeper
　　I think I better leave right now

　　I\'m here, so please explain
　　Why you\'re opening up a healing wound again
　　I\'m a little more careful
　　Perhaps it shows
　　But if I lose the highs
　　At least I\'m spared the lows

　　And I would tremble in your arms
　　What could be the harm?
　　To feel my spirit calm

　　So I say
　　I think I better leave right now
　　Before I fall any deeper
　　I think I better leave right now
　　Feeling weaker and weaker
　　Somebody better show me how
　　Before I fall any deeper
　　I think I better leave right now

　　I wouldn\'t know how to say
　　How good it feels seeing you today
　　I see you\'ve got your smile back
　　Like you say, you\'re right on track
　　But you may never know why
　　Once bitten, twice as shy
　　If I\'m proud, perhaps I should explain
　　I couldn\'t bear to lose you again

　　Mmm-hmm, mmm-mmm
　　Mmm-mmm-mmm

　　Think I better leave right now
　　Before I fall any deeper
　　I think I better leave right now
　　I\'m feeling weaker and weaker
　　Somebody better show me how
　　Before I fall any deeper
　　I think I better leave right now

　　Yes, I will
　　I think I better leave right now
　　I\'m feeling weaker and weaker
　　Somebody better show me how
　　Before I fall any deeper

　　I think I better leave right now\"

　　下车以后，风越来越大，靳时川给杨萧在小店买了一对毛绒绒的护耳。回到家中，暖暖的，他给二人做了一锅Chowder，开了一瓶Burgundy Chardonnay，配了几块吐司。杨萧吃完，让Alexa（播歌机器人）重复上一次播的歌，Alexa重复了一遍指令，“《Chocolate Ice》, Janice Vidal.\"

　　Ooh, ooh, ooh
　　Ooh, yeah, yeah
　　Bring me to the sea of sugar and spice
　　Reminiscing through some chocolate ice
　　Tick-tock, take time to be gentle and kind
　　You sweat \'cause you runnin\'
　　Run all day in my mind
　　Fly to the moon and the sun
　　And lets go have some fun
　　Come and take my hand and free your soul again
　　Fly to the moon and the sun
　　And let\'s go have some fun
　　It\'s one, two, three, my love is plain to see
　　What I do for you, baby, do for me
　　Let me serenade your soul
　　When you\'re feeling down and low
　　Let the music come alive
　　Let tenderness arrive
　　Let me serenade your soul
　　When your feeling down and low
　　Boy, you make me feel so high
　　Together we can fly
　　Instrumental
　　Bring me to the sea of sugar and spice

　　Come and take my hand and free your soul again
　　Fly to the moon and the sun

　　杨萧细听歌词，觉得挺适合的。靳时川收拾了桌子，拿出来一小碟花生糖，“我家没有Chocolate Ice，甜品是花生糖。”杨萧迫不及待地拿了一块，“太好了！我小时候放学最爱看大街上别人做花生糖！”靳时川说，“我也会做。不过这不是我做的，是糖果店买的。”杨萧咬了一口，咀嚼了一小下，“中英版本并无区别。对了，你还有什么不会做的？”“你想我做什么？这房子里你能看见的我应该都会。”杨萧见墙角放了一把电子吉他，指了指，“给我弹首歌？”

　　靳时川笑笑，走过去把吉他抱起，“可以。”插了线，突然音箱一阵摇滚背景，靳时川弹了一首Europe的《The Final Countdown》！杨萧听着那经常被用来作足球比赛背景的歌，笑得直不起腰来。一曲既罢，靳时川拔掉电源，抢过杨萧手中的花生糖，放进嘴里，“你要不要先刷牙洗脸？”杨萧目瞪口呆，看看墙上，“才七点哦！”又拿了一块花生糖放嘴里。“我想洗个澡！你点好香薰蜡烛等我吧！”靳时川摇摇食指，“忘了我是消防员？！我家没有蜡烛。”“你这样子还想骗小女生跟你好？！”“我身材好，有资本！”杨萧没好气，最后塞嘴里一块花生糖，把双手放镜子上一下冰够了，然后放进靳时川上衣底下。只觉靳时川硬硬的腹肌纹丝不动，自己却不舍他的温暖，干脆抱住他的腰。靳时川吻了吻她的头顶，“小女生，要洗白白赶紧去。一抽屉在等着你呢！”
