2161年2月20日，中午十二點，教育中心C區459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa9FzdAop0Y
459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiTfQfC3dLL
459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh35XHaMuH7
教育中心C區位於北歐，為世界各大知名學校的集中地，居住於此的不外乎學生與老師。愛書成痴的尼可拉斯爸爸──凱薩．克里斯托多羅普洛斯，第一代水果塔「書蟲」，正隱居於此，一個人過著與書為伴的生活。459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyuQM9aQD5S
459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm0GjIymkih
老婆葛蕾絲、兒子尼可拉斯，外加媳婦（？）派翠克全是神與畜，大家都住在遙遠的B區，凱薩倒不覺得寂寞。一個男人活到他這種歲數，生活不能用寂寞形容，而是邋遢。459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpkPOhD7m1b
459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvg3dW7jZfT
「啊──」459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHkD1o4OqzM
459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkdz0yT1amX
打了長長的哈欠。中午才從床上起來，凱薩還是覺得很睏。要不是被肚子餓醒，他應該能睡到下午三點，甚至更晚。459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvksPja3Jr4
459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxiBF4sRq8R
紫色的長髮隨便紮在後方，瀏海用黑色髮箍固定，臉上戴著金屬框眼鏡，忘記刮的鬍渣長在下巴。凱薩穿著舒服的透氣T恤和短褲，將煮開的熱水倒入泡麵碗中──沒錯，這是他的早餐兼午餐。明明是希波克拉底一脈的創辦人，卻過著超級不健康的生活。凱薩根本不在意。459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlVqfyz0T4D
459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMa19TfIHxh
身為第一代水果塔，經歷過弟弟的死亡、夏悠的瘋狂、被高宇維暫停時間、水果塔給了老婆……凱薩覺得這世界已經和他無關。他不求多，只求自己每天有看不完的書。書海讓他平靜，他甘願餘生都淹死在裡面。459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA5lye5DcSz
459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡscIvhuKqUH
459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0QPp984RCF
「凱凱，怎麼又吃泡麵啊？」459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSybNQI59vz
459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡltbtqoWYC9
459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSypcPhgFll
但世界就是不肯放過他。明明想淹死在書海，總有人會把他撈出來、扔到海灘上曬乾，比如飄在旁邊的這個女人。凱薩的額頭爆出青筋。459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkoPTflBfzD
459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD9qsk1ZRpb
「白絃！說過多少次，不要一聲不響就出現在我家！」459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiwPPOafYE1
459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDQhXAQa4ZG
說完，凱薩扔了把菜刀，被白絃輕鬆閃開。459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLXowlvYtOo
459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlbde6o72xP
「這是看到老朋友的態度嗎？凱凱，你真是糟糕的男人。」白絃飄在空中，鼓嘴抱怨。459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH0MVsZoGqY
459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV5CxDL64Dz
「閉嘴，非法入侵民宅的傢伙沒資格說話！還有，不要裝可愛，很噁心！」459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFcIzd8WLyf
459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdOk2UMNVDu
凱薩將煮好的泡麵端到……不太能稱為餐桌的地方。小小的木桌堆滿書，凱薩騰出一個角落放他的碗，大口吃起麵來。459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM7ORvTdXA0
459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0VrxmI1MjP
「你家怎麼這麼髒啊？」459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY5n18lkddC
459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVzFcacRoiP
反正趕不走，凱薩不理白絃，任她在自己家飄來飄去。白絃看著積滿灰塵的書，嫌棄地說：「要是尤里里看到，一定會用火車撞你。」459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHilr8lDDaS
459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡitOSvUUmKD
「吵死了。」459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCr7wtBiC41
459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRMzUIuTZEg
仔細想，這是凱薩這個月，第一次跟外送員以外的人說話。他不討厭白絃，也不可能討厭她，凱薩只嫌她麻煩。459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4wkdvByCn5
459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQHKKdXIVFl
「艾莉絲在做什麼？」白絃突然問他。459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpVnxumwDpf
459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgoaJHB84zy
「誰知道。」凱薩說：「在夏家吧。」459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4DEXMv75fH
459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEwuYzFjOsv
「她為什麼老是待在家？夏家明明無聊的要死。」459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHP8f5CgtR8
459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRX9Ojq0Nrj
「誰知道。」凱薩重複一樣的句型：「在等妳吧。」459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSr2l76vnWl
459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDPs3t918wu
「……。」459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrrOBl2lu0C
459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAhZMfltVqd
白絃沒有回話，凱薩也懶得說話。他是白絃和夏悠的見證者，他知道「系兒」和「小悠」曾經多麼親密，也知道她們最後如何結束。凱薩不願回想，反正不關他的事。459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcgYTizcOmR
459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡauPhdvOEIb
「聽說妳被里奧揍得很慘。」459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkVxYVqkrmM
459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhFJv4igWNf
凱薩突然說。白絃有點不高興，「四年前的事了，提這幹嘛？」459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWc3qdfq0rx
459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO0OCTDOTUh
「不值得提嗎？」凱薩看著粉紅色的她，「連紅國王都打不贏，妳到底衰弱到什麼程度？」459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKuRE2smw56
459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡluUXfi8jxD
白絃大方承認：「我現在打不贏我弟弟。」459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMyeAn6jes3
459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZGjy3ET2GC
「真是災難。」凱薩挑眉，「要是李仲翔回來，妳要怎麼辦？」459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡErzYixPf7K
459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQWBKrlMTFI
「放心，他可愛的孫子並不簡單，不會這麼快回來。」白絃非常肯定，「仲翔一定很苦惱，呵呵。」459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9nV8eWqKlO
459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjItncd802N
凱薩不知道白絃在笑什麼，但她這麼說，李仲翔的事就不用擔心。這女人雖然奇怪，卻很謹慎，不會亂說話。459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdkd09nS1Kg
459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4vWkKfbBrG
「這是什麼？」459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiczM6vmV04
459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn0a2Ftm7MS
白絃發現一個漂亮的黑色盒子，在亂亂的房子裡非常突兀。她把盒子拿起來，凱薩立刻跳腳：「喂！不要亂碰！」459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE2ZrzWjqTy
459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg9UXq7wXHt
白絃不理他，打開盒子，裡面是一條非常漂亮的項鍊，藍色的寶石點綴著白色水晶。凱薩怒吼：「妳給我放下，那是我要送葛蕾絲的！」459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5GaivNvIaL
459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT2sBEVIqdV
盯著項鍊，白絃不知為何陷入沉思，凱薩講什麼都沒聽見。459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJe56LRjYeG
459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw4cECwr2uw
「喂！聽不懂人話嗎？我叫妳放下！」459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtd0WycWCKW
459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡds9bzPxoMf
凱薩提高音量，白絃才恢復那張頑皮的笑臉，竟然問：「凱凱，這條項鍊，能不能借我？」459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡODUtOr2BSA
459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgBvXczcJc5
「啥！？」火山爆發，「當然不准！那是我花好多錢買的！！」459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlltdNtd47f
459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjpAqh8n9td
「錢的問題嗎？太好了！」459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQvg4qAcrvu
459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHaIfdzWBf7
說完，白絃拿出一大疊鈔票。459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5VT8k2ev8d
459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvvME1wcxFx
「妳哪來這麼多錢？」凱薩困惑，「妳不是無業遊民？」459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUeCJMVgpnn
459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1uPTQ2pN1s
「我兒子是Platinum的領導人。」白絃說：「他們很孝順，每個月會給我孝養金。」459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5U2NiKO7lK
459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPFZ7wTQiEP
「妳是在挖苦我親子關係惡劣嗎？」459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEpgFJsA02P
459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYCJEWC76iK
「嘿，至少你還有葛蕾絲，這比什麼都重要。」459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCGxMu3eWsT
459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCxgf7710g1
凱薩見過白絃的丈夫──金允燦。他活這麼久，金允燦是凱薩唯一承認的好人。他知道金允燦對白絃有多重要，也知道他離開時、白絃多麼傷心。凱薩什麼都知道，但他不去回想，也不想多講。459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQuwszZd6Fu
459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUYWrMyIYVX
這世上，除了凱薩，已經沒有人知道白絃、認識白絃，從頭到尾見證她這一百年，發生了哪些事。459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPskuJYLHFU
459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfDbPkL3bFc
跟其他第一代不同，凱薩、白絃、夏悠、李仲翔，他們四人有好長一段時間，都跟在阿道夫．懷特身邊學習，如今只剩下他──他是白絃名符其實的老朋友，只剩凱薩能給她一百年前的熟悉感、歸屬感。她常闖入這間亂七八糟的房子，仔細想，真是件悲傷的事。459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVLixFKqfCu
459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfHzv55rPWe
「唉。」459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrSdbw5Do4o
459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZoDzNdKkSA
凱薩忍不住嘆氣。弟弟死了，家人都在高宇維底下做事，自己或多或少，也在懷念這份熟悉感和歸屬感吧？459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp6rkFg7mF1
459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTnS13Me7Sx
否則，罵歸罵，凱薩卻不趕人，任白絃在家裡飄來飄去。459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc1voLqLMQb
459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwUjSXhGcAC
「妳聽說了嗎？里奧把她女兒送去薩拉凱爾。」459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwGlECcWsJ1
459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk5Wfy8FWfr
凱薩隨便開了話題。白絃竟然不知道，回頭問：「什麼？」459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcWS4vifA3z
459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgffoAN4gDn
「葛蕾絲前兩天告訴我的，為了交換小約翰的繼承人。」凱薩很訝異，「妳不知道？」459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRODzvu6hkQ
459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFiUopHNVWl
「我所有情報都來自兒子，他們這方面很厲害。」白絃在空中盤腿，「我最近沒回Platinum，沒更新到這個消息。」459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNTrHR4NG2M
459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO09GvsEVp7
「總之，里奧她女兒正在薩拉凱爾。」凱薩嘖一聲，「事情沒這麼簡單，除了小約翰的繼承人，瘋帽一定還想幹什麼。」459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGNOjgFIS5V
459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzcUQuu0uFS
「小約翰的繼承人……」459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDRfhh36OZJ
459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrki11mfMLC
白絃沉思。這四年，高宇維一定很困擾，找不到李仲翔無法吞噬李晴煬的原因，才想利用紅心傑克與睡鼠的共鳴。459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIGmRNXeY6s
459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk2RMlgdBeV
白絃不擔心李晴煬，她知道──問題不在李仲翔多強，而是李晴煬願不願意給他吞噬。459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiAkjI5YNGk
459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVYTE3VNx96
「葛蕾絲也問了妳的事。」459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0cCFsljFSo
459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSZ7m11wKPe
也許是默契，凱薩竟然延續白絃的思緒，跟她說：「她不明白，妳為什麼不直接殺了李晴煬。」459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK7A7r1BP9E
459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡttUhsFt4Gq
白絃瞇起眼睛，歪頭，「我為什麼要殺他？」459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡejcwC46Ync
459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxmRb3YSbJV
「這是阻止李仲翔最快的方式。」凱薩說：「確實，這符合妳以往的風格，很像妳會做的事。」459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7ZTtJLbKBa
459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5qETzeF01h
「是喔──」白絃轉了轉紫色的眼珠，「你怎麼回答？」459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNZI1hTJxVA
459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAtFYPR2Zol
「我沒有回答她，但我知道答案。」凱薩聳肩，「因為我知道妳想做什麼。」459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc8wtXQih5Z
459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHLtsxJ8Gml
「哦？」白絃故意又問：「我想做什麼？」459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoTTARy2XEf
459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhUvA1E3KAg
「妳希望李仲翔回來，但不是透過吞噬李晴煬──」凱薩闔上書本，「而是像尤里和我兒子那樣，第一代與第三代共存。」459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhn3zjGOPaV
459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwHcEAMn5XS
「……。」459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEInrDT1skH
459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzRWwmbTKAR
「這樣的共存，第一代將以小約翰希望的方式、達到永生；有自主意識的第三代，也會自己做出選擇。這樣不只確保水果塔傳承，一百年前的悲劇也不會再發生。」凱薩看向白絃，「而且，現在這個艾莉絲不是夏悠，根本不會被妳或李仲翔影響，不是嗎？」459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt8SQMAnez1
459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡum7pM51oco
凱薩說完，兩人都陷入沉默，心照不宣。459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeTQ0AtkHIu
459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuW43Uc5oIj
一百年前，在五坪大的研究室，夏悠窩在沙發看書，凱薩在列購書清單，李仲翔按照字母順序整理書櫃，白絃在跟阿道夫老師吵架……他們個性不同，但師出同門、同樣接受阿道夫老師的教育，常常針對書上的議題討論、辯論，有時針鋒相對，這讓他們瞭解了彼此，也影響了彼此。459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQkWUXfAx2z
459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy60Au5VpCw
他們四人，和阿道夫老師一起，經歷過一段平靜快樂的時光，直到其他水果塔──瘋帽、笑臉、黛娜、假海龜、睡鼠、公爵夫人、三月兔出現，他們才開始忙碌。459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOLdK3y4BOb
459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcTZ5QCeweS
459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzuJd4bu42A
凱薩、夏悠、白絃、李仲翔。459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJbFizwPsUy
459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtTQVZtGdef
四個絕頂聰明的人，歷史上的針鋒相對，那只是故事的一頁。459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjHdCAFWBFm
459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNjINZsPt2V
他們的關係不是針鋒相對，而是惺惺相惜。459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBw6eXD2pGC
459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ77FIWRl0BJ
459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKnhe6Sy3An
「說不定，在某個平行時空，我們四個還是在一起，窩在阿道夫老師的研究室。」459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVglSbfWnGu
459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsGivH3YZQm
白絃露出懷念的表情，也很感傷。那是在別人面前，絕對不會露出的、屬於「白絃」的真正心情。459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAIfQ8a81W5
459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQdvMCgeVek
「夏悠不能回來，阿道夫老師不想回來。」凱薩低頭，「但李仲翔可以，妳不想放過這個機會。」459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxLVnYW1OkE
459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdDTFYqXQNh
「……嗯。」459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLVdkTmqDnf
459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzGBuqzUGu0
白絃點頭，兩手摀著臉。凱薩聽見她在哭。459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8oUpOVaRJw
459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3pfPgszlq7
459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpJVxLxNy3e
沒錯，白絃在哭。459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ68RD6JaRw4
459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡib0ahdpFVr
她已經很久，沒在別人面前哭了。459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1sENx472FZ
459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsjYpVUYG4T
459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTiygWgLtQ8
「凱凱……」459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWBk912fEZk
459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHD4xqRNa68
白絃的手還是放在臉上。她哭著問：「你還記得……阿道夫老師他，怎麼評價我們四個嗎？」459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBX5yqFZfQU
459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0jhFqzGpnF
「當然。」459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡufF3dUUAEZ
459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡigMspTwRVj
凱薩討厭回憶，然而，他記得比誰都清楚。他討厭自己的記憶力，過了一百年，還是忘不掉。459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSRKqguSyFq
459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHrFurEtlLN
「他說，夏悠是典型的『自以為是』，李仲翔『注定會失敗』，妳是『活在自己的世界』，至於我……」459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtBZOza20Ps
459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiMARSLIZxr
「『有社交障礙的科學怪人』。」459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDq8z1diBL3
459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUMlzkbvTi3
白絃雖然在哭，但說到這個詞，她就想起那時候，阿道夫老師用多麼認真的表情說這個詞，及凱薩那傻眼貓咪的表情，她忍不住笑了。459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqVP7jgpotw
459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoYpkvxWeEn
「真是慧眼獨到啊，那個死老頭。」459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbYUgBavXqs
459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW61yQvBlKe
凱薩癟嘴，又好氣又好笑地說：「對照我們後來的遭遇，他的評價完全正確。」459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTCZm7VBLx9
459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXf1vzNfxIN
「是啊。」白絃的手放下來，眼淚終於止住，「如果他沒那麼早死，後來的事情都不會發生。」459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3z51YG8v1W
459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY1USkzLKZS
「沒辦法，誰叫他作息不正常。一大把年紀的人，每天只睡三小時，身子不爛掉才怪。」459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfwcvJb2a3S
459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwFuVdFuEoQ
凱薩嘆氣，白絃也沒繼續這個話題。這一百年，他們聊過太多「如果」，假設太多都沒用，悲劇就是已經發生，後悔是最多餘的情緒。459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHGF7YWCJKd
459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeKAmC9dZgW
「白絃。」459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFM5sro5yRz
459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1RYubM7Ey6
「嗯？」459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeiEkU4oROD
459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKsGAKCxPij
「等事情告一段落，」凱薩表示：「我也打算走了。」459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuQpq7aq4h0
459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnbXdLAIdDb
「……。」459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9wKTrvpuEu
459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbhDFb5ojnb
言下之意，凱薩跟公爵夫人一樣，想放棄自己的永生，讓停止的沙漏流盡，回歸仙境。459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡggkC4q6mLY
459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcLE80HOfR3
「水果塔給葛蕾絲，希波克拉底不歸我管，尤里的水果塔也被我兒子繼承，這個現世已經不需要我。我這條命能多活一百年，也差不多了。」459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyKWx7RxTCx
459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIVHWCuiOpw
提到死亡，凱薩並不害怕，白絃也不悲傷。對他們而言，死亡不等於離去，何況凱薩的水果塔在葛蕾絲那，書蟲會活在葛蕾絲體內。459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQfgzisml8p
459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvPbuYHDowC
「你不想見仲翔嗎？」白絃問凱薩。459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj1CMjZrxEN
459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlf2flKhg4l
「我不恨他。講句噁心的，我跟妳一樣想他。」凱薩閉眼，「但我不是妳，可以心平氣和站在他面前、聽他說對不起。尤里死，我跟他的關係就結束，這是兩回事。」459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVGmNQgMwko
459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnn8cOs3Hie
「……這樣啊。」白絃的聲音放輕，「確實，仲翔一定也這麼想。」459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVs4WWE6cnW
459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ78ehsniCZQ
凱薩抬頭，看著飄在空中的白絃，用久違的稱呼叫她：「小白。」459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy6IrAJgtQq
459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcq3OCSYtem
「……？」459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlQsS0IN6kg
459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvRejjy9Y76
「我知道妳在堅持什麼，也同意妳的堅持；但有些東西，無論妳是白絃、獅鷲、或其他身分，都無法讓它恢復原狀，就像我們四個。」459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmfcSVfZP9W
459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9KG7DLuZnm
「……。」459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUdWTjV74Ky
459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY3UOR3SdBt
「小約翰的預言不是預言，是給妳的忠告。」凱薩語重心長，「時間一到，妳必須放手。『水果塔的歸宿是仙境』，別忘了，妳也是水果塔，妳遲早得回去。」459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRGPg46IQs8
459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuoE603bxZA
「……。」459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOKj8yAqqD7
459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9aofjrV2tg
白絃沉默很久，表情不像難過，不像生氣，也不像失落，而是「我知道」──她不可能沒想過這些。凱薩提醒她，那不是「很久以後才會發生」，而是「隨時都可能發生」的事。459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoboFPKIY59
459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZQCM59cOS6
「凱凱還是老樣子，很愛操心呢！」459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6zznB9KHzq
459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjTRBdDZDbp
白絃沒有夏悠的果斷，沒有李仲翔的細膩，沒有凱薩的聰明，她的優點是謹慎，而且，她有另外三人沒有的特質──很聽話。459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlVtXdNlaOn
459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpR6KnWCSIA
「我會記得的，不用擔心。」459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS1S8XQcpNn
459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2EOT1aeyh1
白絃恢復成平時有精神的模樣，看起來不像哭過。459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhwQeP57530
459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ73umSFzzSW
「你的事，要告訴葛蕾絲和尼可拉斯嗎？」459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKP4Z13vI01
459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9TcWYZQyXk
「時候到了，我會跟他們講，妳不要多嘴。」459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡANJDhlIGPx

「是是，聽你的，都聽你的。」459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC5j0s22xdX
459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcFcN8AtDVk
凱薩將吃完的泡麵碗一丟、扔進垃圾桶，再從冰箱拿出一桶巧克力冰淇淋。白絃瞥了一眼借來的項鍊，跟他說：「我想去調查一些事，如果發現好玩的東西，我再來找你。」459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2W2Eq5krxs
