2023年・春節336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡURtjeclJM5
336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ0rmdk6oI2
哐當——哐當——哐當——哐當——336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG6sqHEHFcK
少年歪起頭，在恍惚之間半睜雙眼，腦中意識仍像鞦韆擺盪著。動一動鼻子，先聞到一股淡淡的柑橘香氣。336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh4M7hQL6IN
「啊嗯……」也許是近在嘴邊的食物，少年本能地咬一口，口感柔軟卻有點冰冷，欲再咬下去——336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHbxhlpI5Zz
336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZN5de6ZcDh
「！」一旁正在看書的黑髮男人，忽覺自己的耳朵被咬，渾身震了一下。336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHrBeyEpN9R
「喂，王羽明，你在幹嘛？」336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqzpQHargB5
336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡryEDBLFqqU
金色髮絲隨窗外的陽光灑落在男人的肩膀上，男人摸了摸頭，羽明這才鬆開口、將頭甩到另一邊，而慵懶地在座位上扭動伸展一陣。336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbiaYCiY7iS
「嗯，院長？我睡著了？剛剛好像夢到吃的東西……」336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSvEPOZaNdi
336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYc3T77o6j8
「……我是什麼好吃的東西嗎？」男人托起下巴、瞇起眼望向少年。336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfUzeES5o5B
336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPi5uHjSR85
少年見男人耳垂處有自己的牙印，以燦笑回應，又想貼到臉上，但攻勢被閃開，而雙頰旋即被手指箝住。336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZukGCiroal
336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHAHuFJ65A1
「動作別那麼大，會吵到車上其他乘客。」警告完畢，收手。336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4cJs7XXtKz
336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrb8ByVri3G
「……」336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡukMygaeLEg
336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOdjcodP5Hm
哐當——哐當——哐當——哐當——336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRSN0RWm8Uw
336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ66flFo2Agb
火車不知疲倦地行駛著，從城市到鄉村，窗外的風景被拉成一道細長的繪圖卷軸，不斷在變換景色。兩人享受在匆忙工作之餘、偶爾放鬆的時刻。336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ5in7sBfoy
——不過，要在外面過夜，差不多就是“那種意思”吧？都已經交往四個月了，總感覺他忘記了告白、接吻、那些種種一切……這次說要旅遊約會也是羽明提案，而他說句“正好”才踏上旅途的——要是什麼自己都不提，這工作狂八成還是窩在院內繼續賺錢。336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUXp0291RDU
336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrrH8mA8OkN
羽明充滿思慕的目光投向對方，可那人漠然地繼續翻起書來——一條座椅扶手像是隔了一道楚河漢界一般，到底要如何、到底要如何才能跨越這堵牆，進展到下一個階段！336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2BfsDV6cnx
少年臉頰還有帶有餘痛，心有不甘。336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV9rqPOwSvf
336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0o6Xk3DTKA
336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD9flnQVPFN
兩人下車站後還爬了一段山路，微妙處在於正要行到稍微脫力之時，便已踏進旅館的石板橋前了——前方大門有六名老婦，皆身穿浴衣、行禮迎接，先是向院長寒暄幾句少爺來、少爺去的，接著爭先恐後地要求代提行李。336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhApND6gVqc
旅館位置在相當隱密的山林之間，因此格局並不大，但小而精緻、一應俱全，可有低調奢華之感。和洋混雜的木造建築，質樸實在。渾黑的木樑在春寒之陽下閃出蕭瑟的寒光，浮現一抹悠久的歷史。336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnpqVy38d7g
336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1l1gl0S6HJ
羽明雖然比院長高得多，可一見太過熱情的阿婆們卻有點怕生，板起面孔地東張西望，心想這是哪家旅館，可仰頭望去——336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKLTcLwekAx
沒有招牌。336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ39Hes9dwKl
336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4xhUHBoQlS
「院長，這裡到底是……」336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzQ0fMaQEPF
336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdNuIdiI3N8
「嗯，秘密。總之絕對不會被打擾，是可以好好休息的地方。」夜臣赧然一笑：「最近工作上太多事情要辦，真的很累……難得放假，我也想要有與你獨處的時間。」336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsnFcvdjRI0
336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRU6Wsl4r5R
簡單來說，自幾個月前以“玉山小飛俠”主導的諸多事件為鑑，也讓院長認為：既要放鬆放假就要放個安心——這是動用道士世家的某些關係才能泡到的秘密溫泉。336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4yMN7z384U
336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO0hmh3mSy1
「嗚我我我也一樣……想與你在一起的時間多一些。」最自然的撩法正是最高級的撩法，撥得少年意亂情迷，恨不得從後方抱住他直直奔往房間。手才正要抱住，卻是——336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡorFET7pt2i
336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj2nVXKp3ep
「你先到房間休息一下，我去check in。」夜臣落下這話，走遠。336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡayQFhphOKH
336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI89fSxTVCZ
又來了。院長這種有意支開自己的行為——在火車時這樣、方才在山路想牽個手也被迴避掉。王羽明徑直跟隨搬運行李的老婦，來到房間。336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4NdxOdpvCK
336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWQK2iPDX6R
『咯……這位帥哥……您怎麼愁眉苦臉的？』老婦開口關心，臉上皺紋隨著笑靨就好似酸梅乾。336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvmc8DJFyVI
336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0SCv7sNgPg
「……」336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqI4A5yC0gM
336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjQYqsbkHj2
「咯咯咯……難道是疲乏勞累，諸事不甚順遂嗎？」336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr9Ni8FPZcG
336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeJxuUfrZCG
一針見血，不止，這句話猶如千根針扎在少年的背上，使他刺痛又有苦難言。明明是快意一趟旅行，卻因毫無進展而憂形於色、心焦如焚。鮮紅的瞳孔有意避開尖銳的話語，可難掩胸悶，兀自嘆了一口氣。336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy3F3s0HE1D
336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF3CbTYfVz5
「如果我說對了，還請見諒。不過既然來到本店，就還請放鬆自己。」與方才如枯竹般鏗鏘地聲音不同，那名老婦用一種綿密又細微的聲音說道：「請休息吧，我會幫你的。」336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUrP2vEhWBB
像咒語、像催眠，羽明想著爬山坡也累了，就倒在榻榻米上、瞇起雙眼——336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRZNO9amorM
336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6zOX0cHfIb
很快地，夜幕低垂。兩人皆已著上浴衣，正在用膳。336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk8juf2R1n0
336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0aCrwnI8fC
——幫個頭啦！羽明心想，結果自己先睡著，醒來的時候，院長早就穿好浴衣叫醒自己。連想藉換個衣服來看一下男友身體的嬌羞小劇情都沒有，到底在幫什麼！336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡarZ7hxABKd
336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW9U6bRPscK
「少爺，請。」老婦拿出一酒盞，為客人斟酒。336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCyqjsmY8Pk
336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZLdbeGSkmC
「嗯？」羽明眼睛一亮，仔細想想：上次聚餐時，夜臣都會以回程要開車為由，婉拒他人勸酒——還真沒見過他喝醉的樣子——難道“幫忙”是這種意思嗎？各種小劇場在羽明內心不斷排練。336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡroQheivgzl
336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡol8Tm0evcD
「嗯，謝謝。」夜臣豪爽地飲下一杯，臉色旋即變得紅潤。羽明見狀，無法受控地嘴角上揚。336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡADxCLw6bpX
336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjRHOn3zlgX
只不過。336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5C04ISH8E3
「再來。」夜臣指示道，接著又連飲下十幾杯，可完全沒有醉意的跡象。336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtAsoz7xEpV
一旁的羽明看自己桌上的果汁，將吸管攪動，果肉細屑無望地下沉到杯底。336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlhsvd9Pqlv
這就是成年與未成年的差距……336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxe2ePVzep1
336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyDTYnotLmk
336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhsCitiho2Q
看來不能指望婆婆助攻，必須主動出擊。房間內院設有露天溫泉，如果能一起泡湯的話——336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaMH7yOgGFq
336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWhCCf82shJ
「……羽明你先去泡，我們分開洗吧。」336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKqaoBo6FgI
你真的太過分了，紀夜臣。336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRquXU9J9Nu
336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHfYtRuTCu1
白煙繚繞的溫泉，舒服歸舒服，少年狠狠地拍了自己結實的胸膛一下，順著水花飛濺，欲振作精神，可自己卻像個洩了氣的皮球，倒在大木缸內，仰頭望向月明星稀的夜空。336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSegp6LPQia
接著羽明又洗好澡，毛巾還披在頭上，回到房間時。竟看到院長拿出筆記型電腦，正要按下開機鍵。336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡomrdoSZRzy
還！想！工！作！336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkFK9Qhmebu
336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzQNGx74bBY
少年已忍無可忍，從後方環抱住男人，可先從頸側聞到一股肥皂味。336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL1t5E3jUPL
「你洗澡了？不去泡溫泉嗎？」336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡquunU3hP6u
336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9eWkMJW3oj
「嗯，我不泡。我體、體質與溫泉不太合。」336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡODt4SoZIZC
336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFwaPdDAEC5
「唔。」羽明越縛越緊，平整的浴衣上被擠出摺痕。336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtUu2wMKyVm
336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpudaIhQeAX
夜臣這才開口：「最近發生很多事吧？不僅出任務、又跑去跟其他人打架、召喚魔鳥也很耗體力，對吧？」336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA1cLisdgt9
336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMcMwzWGe24
「嗯。」336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjVILOaPnlt
336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxVbZR7Iuxa
「所以我才訂這家旅館，讓你好好休息，這才是重點。這裡的溫泉能修復身體、補充精力。」336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ17VjUyYhi4
原來婆婆的“幫忙”，是“幫助休息”啊。336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCfnazTkNih
「唉——」少年嘆息一聲。這趟旅行，真的就是休息而已，沒有其他別的意思……不過……336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc9Xk7mllzX
還是想要。336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPzsWTWoy0s
336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCBlBkqhZk2
「還有缺什麼嗎？假日就為你服務喔。」336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKq5tUzWPw3
336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxrkva3ajbX
「謝謝，現在我最缺的就是你。」少年說完，用鼻直朝著脖子一陣狂聞猛吸，接著低吟吐氣，必須好好溫存。336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO9DusddiUa
336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAsRur8tlPW
「……不是這個意……」男人話還沒說完，就被少年拖倒在鋪好的被褥上。336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOerXeeD7SK
336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9aHure1FYk
燈影幢幢，與日常相異的開放感、也許還有酒精殘餘的微醺效應，兩人沉默地對峙。手指一開始先是挑弄對方的掌心，然後糾纏不休，最後在互相抓捕的遊戲中達成平局。336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp1TV7ICR9l
王羽明直愣愣地俯視著，紅玉髓般的眼瞳沉澱在白淨的臉龐上。少年的眼睛很美，美得甚至令人感到可怕。336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5hcGaghd7Y
紀夜臣雙頰泛紅，恍惚的腦中晃了個奇怪的念頭：好像自己變成了女性，眼前這位遮住燈光的英俊少年就是自己的——336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2gKQ4kDOhH
「你的手好熱。」其實是體溫上升了。336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrQBJY417rD
另一隻大手落在男人的臉頰上，隨後少年臉湊近是做一個吻、不等喘氣、再一個吻，情動湧現便無止無境，想要疼惜，又想要狠狠地糟蹋身下人一番。336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQHyC5186LW
336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx8vxNCF4Fr
「嗯……唔……」到底想要親幾遍呢？336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM8Fj1pkc96
336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ26out3J4Dk
「夜臣，我最喜歡你了。」答案就藏在告白之中。336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT2tkJ20kv5
336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZzQyuF1csj
「你那邊……」336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeCSbQHMDUj
身下的男人先注意到對方腰下鼓脹的慾望，隔著布料仍是崢嶸，夜臣蓄意用腳尖輕輕點了前端一下，來壓壓它的囂張氣焰。336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbuGDexqaoQ
336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyLXUGjfyoN
「嗯……！」畢竟還是青春期的男生，被碰到自然像是觸電般抖了一下，頓時打斷進攻節奏。336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLRS2pbWFcu
336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsHTL1d555k
「呵，真可愛。」336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIYtTE2hU7f
336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6xG4ZgnkLv
「嗚……才不是可愛！」336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw7EWH7Mm7C
336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ09IwhxLBUx
浴衣在親熱下凌亂，但夜臣仍穿的嚴實，頂多領子被扯出皺痕，幾乎不露出一點肌膚，少年賭氣似地欲抽開浴衣的腰帶。336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTUhjrEfotp
336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxaU6upMKgo
「等等，不行脫……」336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4bRCQYBs49
336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUjQEQ5eNTr
但事已至此，怎容辯解——336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNaBMlk8EgF
336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDHp3UbWfjJ
『唰——』響起拉開紙門的聲音。336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7CI52XnoV1
老婦出現，頭部微微前傾，垂眸望住下方的榻榻米，正所謂“非禮勿視”。336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE1V9CbNIrH
「抱歉打擾了。本店特別招待的溫牛奶與饅頭。」336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQnpRNMb1aw
336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuPM4C30Pne
「……」336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ1LE9h6Jy7
所有動作都停了下來。羽明尷尬地望著那位說著要幫自己的老婆婆；而夜臣雙手掩面，什麼都不想看。336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAVHV3VGINR
336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPqtCe9eUVJ
「呃啊、謝謝阿婆。」336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZxdiqoly2t
336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEQGj7Zqh7e
「真是年輕啊，只不過……」老婦維持一樣的姿勢，有點令人發寒地竊笑著：「咯咯咯……在這裡不可以做消耗體力的事喔……」336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkv0q2MQwST
336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgxdk0Ylap3
紙門關上，兩人才從定格的動作中解放。336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4oH6fSnyYt
336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡejQUXl1zXH
「天氣冷，牛奶還是趁熱喝吧。」336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmCwd37lzL5
336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTjXS87tJfM
羽明先從男人身上起來，要拿盤子；而夜臣踉蹌站起身，整一整身上的衣服。336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9IDxgJhbe3
溫牛奶安定慌亂的心神，已經都沒有那種情緒了。336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuEtPBobQDe
336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡigqI5MOl9N
「那位阿婆感覺好詭異，你沒有訂到什麼鬼旅館吧……」羽明嘴上這樣講，卻還是毫不避諱地嗑了一塊饅頭。336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwv2PuGh8xn
336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrkIPNtTyh8
「這個旅館……嗯，真要說的話，的確是鬼旅館。」稍早在她們面前不好明白講，現在兩人在房間內就坦然告訴：「你應該聽過“金魅”這個怪異吧？」336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH6U0ovaMeu
336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBNQ6QI6jIZ
羽明腦內浮現學姊丁筱寧給出的一堆文件。336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyZ2AW75Yji
「這樣果然有問題嘛！她們不是會吸人靈魂……」336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNBNdWuXA1J
336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWs1Gk5GCnD
「嗯，說法的確是這樣，不過這家旅館位處龍脈匯聚的溫泉地帶，所以這裡的金魅大部分只要吸取“精力”就能維持存在，但她們的本能就是工作，必須消耗精力。」336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTqfFdphy4W
「而這家讓她們工作的旅館就訂了一個法則：金魅會幫入住這裡的客人恢復精力：創傷、飢餓、疲勞、睏乏她們都可以解決——但離開旅館時也必須繳納一定比例的精力。所以，她是在提醒：不能做出消耗精力的行為……是怕我們繳不出來。」336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNeyWIiaWe5
336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKq14NEpZv0
「既然精力越多越好，為什麼你不跟我一起泡湯？」羽明嘟著嘴，質問道士。336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEy8IG5mpas
336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdhLqcauFx9
「這個嘛……剛有說是體質問題。」道士的眼神很明顯在逃避。336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgnvdWydNjn
被金魅們用少爺稱呼，讓夜臣想起一些事：這家金魅旅館是老爺——也就是父親紀榮德——他作為“封印道士”建造的供養處，是他向紀家長老們證明自己實力的產物。336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4Rn12zlCXu
不過，那只是多了一個能遭到冷嘲熱諷的靶子罷了。336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhq0GyhUlcB
336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT7ivKoUhbJ
夜臣倘佯在回憶中，突然一塊饅頭抵住雙唇，把自己拉起。王小朋友沒規矩地枕在膝上，轉起饅頭。336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ689odgT6qq
336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSsDgfFoDLx
「吃啦吃啦！這很好吃欸，你也要好好休息。」336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡim65hHnIeI
336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRVWSTbp54f
「嗯，好甜。」336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKB90962Ysc
336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXfDStQLK0s
夜涼如水，在被世間的遺忘之處，在幽暗古雅的旅館內，金魅熄燈，而戀人抱在一齊進入了夢鄉……336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi0ITiJKbTA
