2157年7月1日,早上七點,政治中心A區593Please respect copyright.PENANATO2gS4dVxd
593Please respect copyright.PENANAFbIvVOQYbM
593Please respect copyright.PENANAUMIrkN8jww
李晴煬久違來到A區。中央廣場位於南方,和十一塔所在的北方非常不同。以天氣為例,七月的南方真可怕,又悶又熱,早上溫度就這樣,很難想像中午是什麼光景。593Please respect copyright.PENANAwAzg6oJcM2
593Please respect copyright.PENANAEboLI3XxbT
李晴煬躲在樹下,嘴裡咬著一根冰棒。一改平時的黑色穿搭,李晴煬今天穿著白色T恤及淺藍色的牛仔破褲,鞋子也是白鞋,看起來休閒、清爽,挺符合酷熱天氣的穿搭風格。593Please respect copyright.PENANA3n4z76tOek
593Please respect copyright.PENANAzuIVVKg50d
現在時間──早上七點五分。謝賢應該不是白痴,不會穿顯眼的古裝來赴約,不過,他本人真的會來嗎?李晴煬很懷疑。593Please respect copyright.PENANA8Cf1A8TuHo
593Please respect copyright.PENANATQPDY7wWP1
天氣悶熱,吃完冰棒的李晴煬拿著冰棒棍,正覺得煩躁時,一抹身影穿過廣場,有人從他面前走了過去──593Please respect copyright.PENANA7l9WhBJDcP
593Please respect copyright.PENANAfYwVb29FoJ
「……!」593Please respect copyright.PENANAH5LuNpfLzm
593Please respect copyright.PENANAaY8j8cv4eN
時間彷彿凍結在這一刻。李晴煬睜大眼睛。謝綠穿著白色的學校制服,手裡拿著書包,一個人走在廣場上。她頭髮紮在後方,綁著普通的馬尾,看起來就像普通的女學生,一點也不像高貴的十大家族子女。593Please respect copyright.PENANAsPzQ4v8XoF
593Please respect copyright.PENANAGZkqhTA7F4
李晴煬認不得沒穿古裝的謝賢,卻一眼認出沒穿古裝的謝綠。十大家族有自己的教育系統,子女不需就讀大學以外的學校,因此,看到謝綠身上的校服,李晴煬非常意外,最封閉的謝氏竟然讓女兒就讀外面的初中,謝綠到底是多特別的存在?593Please respect copyright.PENANAXS2Y19Urki
593Please respect copyright.PENANA7edw00HkKP
「撲通、撲通、撲通、撲通……」593Please respect copyright.PENANAd4nMHP4kA5
593Please respect copyright.PENANAMHyIcVemhp
看到謝綠的當下,一股難以言喻的感覺油然而生。李晴煬撫著胸口,想冷靜,心臟卻跳個不停。他好想……好想聽她的聲音、好想知道她過得好不好。他想和謝綠說話,所以他伸手,試圖拉近與女孩的距離──593Please respect copyright.PENANAC8BrJkZTBZ
593Please respect copyright.PENANA6kMzrP4vq7
「……!」593Please respect copyright.PENANAe1i0o7JrkK
593Please respect copyright.PENANAmCfSywqbMW
下一秒,理智把他的手拉回。李晴煬閉上眼睛、轉身,故意不去看她。上次開會,沒有把謝綠的天賦說出來,李晴煬一直為此懊惱。他是神與畜、是謝綠的敵人。里奧把謝氏的任務交給他,是基於信任,他不能因為謝綠毀了一切。593Please respect copyright.PENANAiWJjJxohHA
593Please respect copyright.PENANAuEm0Ly5XPV
何況謝綠已經認不得他。593Please respect copyright.PENANAOVB5qhtJ0s
593Please respect copyright.PENANABO0QaL82j3
不論外表、身分、內在,他已經不是謝綠認識的李晴煬,女孩已經與自己毫無干係,所以──李晴煬,不可以!593Please respect copyright.PENANANalLPRHGvW
593Please respect copyright.PENANAQfb4Btf4bK
593Please respect copyright.PENANAj93giorWOw
不可以去找她。593Please respect copyright.PENANAxpUrsD9cDv
593Please respect copyright.PENANAIXYmQSMO5s
不可以和她相認。593Please respect copyright.PENANACpVN7cLYoq
593Please respect copyright.PENANAnQ0ftyP9YS
不可以……讓她的位置,凌駕在高宇維上面。593Please respect copyright.PENANAsLbUfUgCYx
593Please respect copyright.PENANAqa8otpEMMg
593Please respect copyright.PENANAMBySbZI11R
「……。」593Please respect copyright.PENANAKJml4VwnD4
593Please respect copyright.PENANAuu7spikyzx
什麼事該做,什麼事不該做,他分得很清楚。聰明如李晴煬,知道怎麼在自己的理性與感性之間,取得最大公約數。593Please respect copyright.PENANA0euG7wOPro
593Please respect copyright.PENANAAm2hl84H6r
下一秒,另一邊的謝綠拿出手機,看到來電顯示。593Please respect copyright.PENANABiZd7cejFq
593Please respect copyright.PENANAnGwc6Iz8Ra
「……!」593Please respect copyright.PENANAq57dUXIT53
593Please respect copyright.PENANAcDz1nvGHZz
謝綠嚇一大跳,連忙滑下接聽,遲疑開口:「喂?」593Please respect copyright.PENANAHPndPN5ETO
593Please respect copyright.PENANAVcgIviR7bf
「嗨,謝綠。」593Please respect copyright.PENANA86URabimg2
593Please respect copyright.PENANAUqpOEhvPBk
聽到聲音的剎那,李晴煬莫名感到緊張,假裝鎮定地說:「好久不見。」593Please respect copyright.PENANAInGkHReYtu
593Please respect copyright.PENANAyzP9I8cN5t
「李晴煬?是你嗎?」593Please respect copyright.PENANAsj5KqtSDMU
593Please respect copyright.PENANAiGYQSqrocB
謝綠愣了愣,驚訝的聲音裡夾雜喜悅,「你的聲音……?」593Please respect copyright.PENANAi0rNqpia4x
593Please respect copyright.PENANAKnZVZ9kLqb
「很怪吧?因為本大……我長喉結了,哈哈。」593Please respect copyright.PENANAgCi6zxybCk
593Please respect copyright.PENANAM0IOFWQlOG
他撒了個無傷大雅的謊,然後問:「比起那個,妳過得好嗎?」593Please respect copyright.PENANAoEkQV1izSk
593Please respect copyright.PENANAJf82RbbVNN
「老樣子,很討厭待在家。」謝綠微笑,「但生活多了新事物,日子沒以前苦悶,挺好的。」593Please respect copyright.PENANAwxa4PetZIw
593Please respect copyright.PENANALkkx9iuCwK
「感覺得出來,妳的聲音比以前開朗。」593Please respect copyright.PENANAMqXTrHTvhz
593Please respect copyright.PENANAAOCjkutADh
謝綠似乎不趕時間,她在廣場的椅子坐下來、享受和李晴煬的聊天;另一邊的李晴煬看著遠方的謝綠,嘴角也不自覺上揚,心裡暖暖的,好喜歡此刻的每個瞬間。593Please respect copyright.PENANA2xn3xRFwH2
593Please respect copyright.PENANA6AYw1mon68
「倒是你,李晴煬,你還好嗎?」593Please respect copyright.PENANAcyLxgdrWcj
593Please respect copyright.PENANAbrnItSoprn
謝綠反問他,聲音透露出一絲擔憂。李晴煬當然知道她在說什麼,避開重點回答:「我記憶恢復了。」593Please respect copyright.PENANAVZ00b9X4cE
593Please respect copyright.PENANAxqpIVGKzzv
「……我想也是。」她說:「你叔叔死亡的新聞一出,我就想聯絡你,但我很害怕。」593Please respect copyright.PENANApPqzgLAHKu
593Please respect copyright.PENANAJ3nH6Ws0P0
謝綠遲疑了一會兒,大膽問:593Please respect copyright.PENANAHisrZcz72T
593Please respect copyright.PENANAsUu8hzJSps
593Please respect copyright.PENANABaOGfiBM4H
「你變成神與畜了嗎?李晴煬。」593Please respect copyright.PENANAGrw7QGFuns
593Please respect copyright.PENANAIp18tQXsrY
593Please respect copyright.PENANAaTVA4pDKUc
李晴煬閉上眼睛,默認。593Please respect copyright.PENANAFdexYabJSy
593Please respect copyright.PENANA5h1OAII4oe
「……我應該早點聯絡你的。」593Please respect copyright.PENANAGE6vY3RXqo
593Please respect copyright.PENANAsSPeJgAPA2
謝綠低頭、看著自己的鞋子。非常巧,他和李晴煬的鞋子都是白鞋,而且是同款,一男一女。593Please respect copyright.PENANA8PRErJHmcq
593Please respect copyright.PENANA1phOPm9ked
「我不會因為你變成神與畜就討厭你,相反,我是發自內心珍惜你這位朋友的,相信我。」593Please respect copyright.PENANABEvTIm28SI
593Please respect copyright.PENANAlHfMdjEbIe
李晴煬笑了笑。他怎麼會不相信謝綠?論立場,應該是謝綠不相信他。593Please respect copyright.PENANA6Vn4y6Naav
593Please respect copyright.PENANAhNIiB0neYM
「哪,謝綠。」593Please respect copyright.PENANAkVapT1sLuP
593Please respect copyright.PENANAjFHW5pF0jY
李晴煬不知哪根筋不對。他抬頭,看著一朵雲都沒有的天空,問:「從今天起,我能叫妳『小綠』嗎?」593Please respect copyright.PENANAnILBohJipb
593Please respect copyright.PENANAJ36h40kCsh
「欸?」謝綠的肩膀震了一下,「為什麼?」593Please respect copyright.PENANAvcKPtQ1THK
593Please respect copyright.PENANAkFqBa58ZJI
「妳討厭的家人可以這樣稱呼,沒道理我不行。」李晴煬露齒一笑,「所以,請多指教啦,小、綠。」593Please respect copyright.PENANAxt9VCEpguK
593Please respect copyright.PENANASF1BZLHmZz
「……!」593Please respect copyright.PENANAr6Lp9BWeK7
593Please respect copyright.PENANADCqK66wr9Q
被家人以外的人這麼稱呼,聽起來格外彆扭。謝綠覺得李晴煬不只變聲,個性也不太一樣,不像她印象中的纖細少年。593Please respect copyright.PENANAsmPfhcnQT0
593Please respect copyright.PENANAG48p7vaykH
「不瞞妳說,我最近過得不好,老是想起以前的事。」593Please respect copyright.PENANAVlhaDJEWul
593Please respect copyright.PENANATbPDe0wioe
李晴煬靠著樹幹,看著遠方的謝綠,「越來越能體會,妳那句話的意思。」593Please respect copyright.PENANASLaVpdO59y
593Please respect copyright.PENANA1rWsGcqZon
「哪句話?」593Please respect copyright.PENANAkLqGDGoMmd
593Please respect copyright.PENANANmDYcY0mSa
「『越是親近,越會互相傷害。』」593Please respect copyright.PENANAi9sgVhJ6RB
593Please respect copyright.PENANAixVn54eWMR
李晴煬閉上眼睛。593Please respect copyright.PENANAQrCBS45ZYq
593Please respect copyright.PENANAfwON7eDqzw
「我朋友說,『遺忘』是大腦的自我保護機制,但我非但沒有,反而拼命『記得』。追根究柢,我覺得自己陷得太深,才會放不下。」593Please respect copyright.PENANALc4XYdMThI
593Please respect copyright.PENANAKy0stp451Z
「……。」謝綠突然叫他的名字:「李晴煬。」593Please respect copyright.PENANA0MerTjvfVZ
593Please respect copyright.PENANAQynhMABtq6
「嗯?」593Please respect copyright.PENANAuZhzSHtvje
593Please respect copyright.PENANAfCbnUVChir
「李央,是不是你殺的?」593Please respect copyright.PENANA8IsROKjQ14
593Please respect copyright.PENANAek209vSaPd
李晴煬陷入沉默,這是他今天的第二次默認。593Please respect copyright.PENANApS4OLcrefm
593Please respect copyright.PENANAqKppqf41bT
「天啊。」593Please respect copyright.PENANAO9zQqr0seT
593Please respect copyright.PENANAB3gbMAELxd
謝綠用手摀住眼睛,感到相當難過。593Please respect copyright.PENANAzDv5TGSz3Z
593Please respect copyright.PENANAvgfLs1ZTxV
「我不敢聯絡你的這段時間,竟然發生這麼多事……!」593Please respect copyright.PENANAdzDcMxM5ZZ
593Please respect copyright.PENANAqTdkUyuOHL
「不是妳的錯。」李晴煬反過來安慰她:「命運把我帶到這裡。」593Please respect copyright.PENANAMerlc4xAi9
593Please respect copyright.PENANAKF7wWfWisD
「如果是那樣,你的命運也太粗暴了。」593Please respect copyright.PENANARLAFF7sApq
593Please respect copyright.PENANAOWbLG2slTT
謝綠沒有哭,只是很內疚。她和李晴煬一樣,都把對方看得無比重要。593Please respect copyright.PENANAGrUqOFdBJP
593Please respect copyright.PENANA4ZfTyg2m7O
「坦白說,我不知道什麼方法,能讓你好過一點,但是──」謝綠把腦中的想法組織成文字:「你殺了李央,這樣還無法放下,恐怕,只剩時間能幫你。」593Please respect copyright.PENANAhBeslyXFXt
593Please respect copyright.PENANAwvSq03R1tg
「時間?」593Please respect copyright.PENANAYdWiFC4KJY
593Please respect copyright.PENANAORwu3cNopi
「嗯,你的聲音也也比以前開朗,我相信現在的你,比在李門時要快樂一些,所以,繼續維持這樣的狀態吧。總有一天,時間會幫你放下李央的。」593Please respect copyright.PENANA8BcTH3LiN5
593Please respect copyright.PENANAmFSfApEsaK
謝綠微微一笑,「你這麼堅強,一定能找到屬於自己的幸福。」593Please respect copyright.PENANA31V1GkJPwK
593Please respect copyright.PENANAoflxTq59vR
「……但願如此。」李晴煬發自內心地說:「謝謝妳。」593Please respect copyright.PENANAACU2EJ4Lmk
593Please respect copyright.PENANAFiiflyf9b7
「不會,謝謝你打給我。」謝綠看了看時間,「抱歉,我還有點事,只能聊到這了。」593Please respect copyright.PENANAD4AOSNHE4O
593Please respect copyright.PENANAEgzoaGhiLO
「沒關係,妳去忙吧。」李晴煬問:「我還能打給妳嗎?」593Please respect copyright.PENANAsUq97lZAGm
593Please respect copyright.PENANAkqJald5jIt
「當然!」謝綠說:「我沒辦法無時無刻接電話,你可以傳訊息。」593Please respect copyright.PENANAfyQoStzQjT
593Please respect copyright.PENANAs8Iwmb9Xkf
「謝謝。」李晴煬又道謝一次,「再見,小綠。」593Please respect copyright.PENANA4AYqrEYK0z
593Please respect copyright.PENANA4fM3Hs1lRm
「再見啦,晴煬。」593Please respect copyright.PENANALbpRbt17Ep
593Please respect copyright.PENANARAemWVums1
結束通話。遠方的謝綠離開椅子,朝學校的方向走去。她的腳步比剛才輕盈許多,看來,不是只有李晴煬喜歡和她說話,自己在謝綠心裡,也是特別的存在。593Please respect copyright.PENANAGDbEU7lE91
593Please respect copyright.PENANAqspZKikY0e
尼可拉斯說的沒錯──不是他對異性無感。謝綠是特別的,和那些一夜情的女人不一樣。李晴煬的心情很久沒這麼好,喜歡一個人竟然這麼開心。593Please respect copyright.PENANAXwH8HG1l3K
593Please respect copyright.PENANAZasn3EAkEP
李晴煬睜開眼睛,回到廣場、回到太陽、回到酷熱的七月。他看時間:七點四十分,謝賢已經遲到四十分鐘。李晴煬開始懷疑,自己是不是被堂堂的謝氏大少爺,放了鴿子。593Please respect copyright.PENANAprQCLfEKZ9
593Please respect copyright.PENANANRbCQpa0Nk
593Please respect copyright.PENANAKFM5XHjt0Z
「『只剩時間能幫你』……這樣啊。」593Please respect copyright.PENANApeD93Jecle
593Please respect copyright.PENANAyVIRvYGgJo
593Please respect copyright.PENANAtjr8JWoaUh
熟悉的聲音從頭頂傳來。李晴煬抬頭,一名少年竟坐在他頭頂的樹上,身披白色披風,戴著一頂黑色的高帽子。593Please respect copyright.PENANAezwtuCNyFV
593Please respect copyright.PENANAM2Nxygy1DF
593Please respect copyright.PENANAEl6iMJlsEi
「原本只是有點在意,才過來看看。」593Please respect copyright.PENANAcexlewqIzU
593Please respect copyright.PENANA82haeLFNcg
「真有你的啊,晴煬。」593Please respect copyright.PENANAOwmdjjqef1
593Please respect copyright.PENANAPY9WsggdbW
593Please respect copyright.PENANAsAHrarJMOj
少年低頭,露出慵懶的微笑。那一瞬間,李晴煬的心臟幾乎停止。眼前的少年他見過──在那片桃花林。593Please respect copyright.PENANA5oCq4UOeA0
593Please respect copyright.PENANAugdcdkcANr
「宇維少爺……!」593Please respect copyright.PENANAxBlwY2BNuM
593Please respect copyright.PENANASRJTwzLtXS
十大家族之首、二十二世紀的帝王、神與畜的頭頂上司,如今正坐在樹枝上,對自己微笑。593Please respect copyright.PENANAbchTLNdY9T
593Please respect copyright.PENANApJWW36cjIw
照MIO的說法,高宇維是他爺爺那輩的人。上個世紀的人活到現在,還維持十二歲的外表,除了水果塔,李晴煬想不到其它解釋。593Please respect copyright.PENANASTm5APa5GC
593Please respect copyright.PENANAvoM58Mbca1
高宇維的頭髮是灰色的,有點蓬鬆,以男生來說偏長;他有很漂亮的灰色眼睛,五官端正,是個清秀的少年,可惜黑眼圈毀了一切,就像重金屬樂團的黑色眼妝。沒睡飽時,眼神渙散,很像喪屍。593Please respect copyright.PENANAkAheld1dJw
593Please respect copyright.PENANA2IGCGQbfgh
幸好,高宇維今天精神不錯,沒那麼死氣沉沉,還有──他的右眼,高宇維戴著眼罩。李晴煬的故事,就是從那隻眼睛開始的。593Please respect copyright.PENANAL7eja65K0X
593Please respect copyright.PENANANMyiMF9mGF
「嘿咻。」593Please respect copyright.PENANANbda8tklHv
593Please respect copyright.PENANA6fzJAtITF2
高宇維從樹上跳下來。他穿著黑襯衫,以及黑色的吊帶短褲,但吊帶的部分是深紅色。奇怪的是,他背上有件白色披風,頭上有頂黑色高帽,手裡拿著白色拐杖,好像要去參加變裝派對。593Please respect copyright.PENANAp9FglKcLMW
593Please respect copyright.PENANAcQ23xfLFYZ
「宇維少爺……」593Please respect copyright.PENANA2vDLjVJe3v
593Please respect copyright.PENANAgN2Bbx0Cb7
高宇維人在這,這事本身就很不正常。李晴煬問高宇維:「您為什麼在這?」593Please respect copyright.PENANAQiNf4bLxhQ
593Please respect copyright.PENANAnmxu0ahAhg
「嗯?你不是和謝賢有約嗎?」593Please respect copyright.PENANAUbhz2ux5MS
593Please respect copyright.PENANAACNzgFQhTW
高宇維拍掉身上的灰塵,灰色、沒有漸層的眼睛掃向李晴煬,「他叫我來的。」593Please respect copyright.PENANAfYLYFSNc0O
593Please respect copyright.PENANAPtl5FXCHBG
「……!?」593Please respect copyright.PENANA7fWLONHFBj
593Please respect copyright.PENANAPksjAL7uKR
不論主詞、動詞或受詞,李晴煬都感到震驚。謝賢憑什麼?宇維少爺為什麼要聽?他們這些人,到底在打什麼主意?593Please respect copyright.PENANAbY8D4K81wu
593Please respect copyright.PENANA70DqTQaJui
「先不說這個了。晴煬,你剛跟謝綠說了什麼?」593Please respect copyright.PENANAFYU19WsZqM
593Please respect copyright.PENANAn3pwFb5gVl
不像開會時的緩慢語速,高宇維今天的聲音很正常,但他的眼睛──大大的,搭配那個黑眼圈,很恐怖。593Please respect copyright.PENANAkR0j1XH2yb
593Please respect copyright.PENANA4qaY94EV0Y
「你跟她坦白了身分。」高宇維的口氣很平靜:「你告訴謝氏的人,自己是神與畜?」593Please respect copyright.PENANAnT7TKM1mr4
593Please respect copyright.PENANAPqtH1Jybq0
李晴煬沒有回話。593Please respect copyright.PENANA18D3fP8vtv
593Please respect copyright.PENANAAtlsTaAsbw
「聰明的孩子,你為什麼,要給自己找麻煩?」高宇維單刀直入地問:「你喜歡她?」593Please respect copyright.PENANABMqcpqnRcr
593Please respect copyright.PENANAiXhFRDbznQ
「不!我……!」593Please respect copyright.PENANA11PsJuZ9gt
593Please respect copyright.PENANAvOiLv1Ajae
話說到一半就卡住。李晴煬發現,自己沒辦法撒這個謊。593Please respect copyright.PENANAgTDGdL904U
593Please respect copyright.PENANAGWpJBHeEFr
「宇維少爺,我很抱歉,我不會再因為私情洩漏其他資訊。」593Please respect copyright.PENANA7hdczLvmoh
593Please respect copyright.PENANA5JJhOCkmvw
李晴煬急忙道歉,但高宇維沒有看他,灰色的眼睛盯著樹上的小鳥,補了句:593Please respect copyright.PENANASLNH6cMNHD
593Please respect copyright.PENANAgGyrj6jr7H
593Please respect copyright.PENANACDvHX5tNpR
「不會洩漏,但會幫她隱瞞,是嗎?」593Please respect copyright.PENANASabnLYpyHk
593Please respect copyright.PENANAXBh9Esx96S
593Please respect copyright.PENANAz1ujhgfha5
「……!」593Please respect copyright.PENANAyFM5sOJhSD
593Please respect copyright.PENANAf2oE4nwPhL
就像給心臟來了記重擊,李晴煬嚇得當場閉嘴。593Please respect copyright.PENANA2cJAhDsjfW
593Please respect copyright.PENANADlN5iD11LH
「不用怕,晴煬,我不會怪你。」593Please respect copyright.PENANAfc6bXuXPa6
593Please respect copyright.PENANAcHERSM0JGQ
下一秒,李晴煬的脖子被拐杖勾住。高宇維將他拉到自己面前,額頭靠著李晴煬的額頭,不明所以地笑著。593Please respect copyright.PENANAogCnshkiRZ
593Please respect copyright.PENANAATfu7kVYgL
593Please respect copyright.PENANAA1dNSOaVF5
「你只是有點不完美,沒關係。」593Please respect copyright.PENANAgeMgdOX3Fz
593Please respect copyright.PENANATNI8i5b48W
「我讓『時間』來幫你。」
