2154年12月12日,晚上七點,政治中心A區831Please respect copyright.PENANAaeLoJc7El3
831Please respect copyright.PENANAK2ZXwBdZ9m
831Please respect copyright.PENANAUgEe1TEcFf
十三個小時的飛行時間。從私人飛機走下來時,李晴煬感到十分疲憊,決定回家後第一件事先睡覺,這樣也不會有時差的問題,真是一舉兩得。831Please respect copyright.PENANATCamV9gBs3
831Please respect copyright.PENANAx0xSamrbis
他看了看周遭。打從下私人飛機開始,六名身穿黑西裝、戴著墨鏡、好像從電影裡走出來的保鑣便隨侍在側。偏偏現在是晚上,六名保鑣都穿黑色,完全融入了背景中。他覺得有點好笑,終於有「我是小少爺」的感覺。831Please respect copyright.PENANA1hfCqOkM1D
831Please respect copyright.PENANAh3Ky1btk3l
走了一段路,眼前出現一台黑色的轎車。轎車旁站著一名黑色燕尾服的男人,但他的年紀比保鑣們年輕,只有二十幾歲,黑色頭髮梳了上去,露出稜角分明的臉部輪廓。831Please respect copyright.PENANABxsYbukxYx
831Please respect copyright.PENANAVxhenLrKDA
「恭候多時,晴煬少爺。」831Please respect copyright.PENANA8QsFnezkEj
831Please respect copyright.PENANAkiMGns2aGJ
一見到他,男子鄭重鞠躬。李晴煬在心裡慶幸,好險李博洋當時幫自己準備了像樣的衣服,否則到時站在這裡、被稱之為「少爺」的人,會穿著一件醜陋的睡衣。831Please respect copyright.PENANAM4et8R0vJy
831Please respect copyright.PENANAKVjB6dwQAw
不過,李晴煬不是很懂他哥哥的品味。襯衫配短褲、披風配膝上襪、蝴蝶結配長靴。當他是在COSPLAY嗎?而且現在是十二月,李晴煬好冷,尤其是那兩條細細的腿,冷風吹過時都忍不住打顫。831Please respect copyright.PENANACLnwkgYKQD
831Please respect copyright.PENANASggOEu6Ymg
「請少爺上車。」831Please respect copyright.PENANAt5cf6Y1lZC
831Please respect copyright.PENANAiM1nkfbx8y
車門自動開啟。李晴煬趕緊鑽進去,車裡的暖氣讓他舒服許多,身子也放鬆下來,開始打量這台車子。831Please respect copyright.PENANAZCFPxjJeqA
831Please respect copyright.PENANAJ3nECVm4IX
二十二世紀後,路上幾乎見不到汽油車,都是電動車,而且全是無人駕駛,使得車內空間非常大。這台車的座位是兩排面對面的沙發,李晴煬坐在面向前方的那一排,燕尾服男坐在他對面,那些保鑣則上了其他台車,繼續護衛的工作。831Please respect copyright.PENANAnWGOGDv3s8
831Please respect copyright.PENANAhqAFL0VJti
「車程要多久?」車門關上後,李晴煬問坐在他對面的燕尾服男。831Please respect copyright.PENANAXfrXt4IArv
831Please respect copyright.PENANAj8DkywhImZ
「走特殊通道的話,約莫三十分鐘。」燕尾服男回答。831Please respect copyright.PENANAmzG24nM3pt
831Please respect copyright.PENANAciFpYWzLr1
「特殊通道?」831Please respect copyright.PENANAoR3KB92Atv
831Please respect copyright.PENANApsOZExY9gs
「十大家族專用的公路。」燕尾服男耐心解釋:「在A區,使用通道的不外乎謝氏、聯合政府官員,還有我們。」831Please respect copyright.PENANAi0QlV0JlhE
831Please respect copyright.PENANAMS8bs5FMbS
「這樣啊。」李晴煬換問:「走一般的道路呢?」831Please respect copyright.PENANAIwO6UANibV
831Please respect copyright.PENANAnXcUHS0Vst
「……?」831Please respect copyright.PENANALYCKKGYFzc
831Please respect copyright.PENANAcRiKYwzhUm
燕尾服男露出驚訝的表情。李晴煬眨了眨眼,「怎麼了?」831Please respect copyright.PENANAkLhIBGH5gv
831Please respect copyright.PENANAVGnLrqteFG
「不……抱歉,剛才有些出神了,還請少爺見諒。」燕尾服男說:「沒有塞車的話,一個小時左右。」831Please respect copyright.PENANAXV3obOd7EV
831Please respect copyright.PENANAk69ijC0I6f
「那就走一般道路吧。」李晴煬告訴燕尾服男:「反正是晚上,車不多。」831Please respect copyright.PENANArScYRW2Wq1
831Please respect copyright.PENANAY41jo46ywz
「是。」831Please respect copyright.PENANAgNDUdrounD
831Please respect copyright.PENANAVHYtBoaN7S
燕尾服男聽命,替自動駕駛車設定目的地時,也順便改了行車路線。車子開始移動,保鑣的車行駛在他們四周,將他們保護得十分徹底。831Please respect copyright.PENANAZNf6KHYJIa
831Please respect copyright.PENANAmrSfk1iJ9C
李晴煬看向窗外。為什麼不走特殊道路,李晴煬也說不出原因。他很累,卻不想那麼早回家,彷彿回家就得面對不開心的事,想盡可能拖延時間。831Please respect copyright.PENANAlXysBc0CmB
831Please respect copyright.PENANA1YIORFlxXB
「少爺。」831Please respect copyright.PENANAW4LuhQSWTa
831Please respect copyright.PENANAjKxAsd6Xyy
燕尾服男突然叫了他一聲。李晴煬把頭轉回來,「嗯?」831Please respect copyright.PENANAa8UgjQSrkX
831Please respect copyright.PENANA5ybCs9X9Tc
「您肚子會餓嗎?」燕尾服男問。831Please respect copyright.PENANAF2ohnbgzAp
831Please respect copyright.PENANAKYZ6Ct54hZ
「還好,剛剛在飛機上有吃。」831Please respect copyright.PENANAoUJ71WXURV
831Please respect copyright.PENANA8VDI1AJsYo
「那,要不要喝點什麼?」831Please respect copyright.PENANA9WeYyCzK0c
831Please respect copyright.PENANAPzxBDVRbyf
「也不用,給我能打發時間的東西吧。」李晴煬隨口說:「書之類的。」831Please respect copyright.PENANAShkdkXUmqu
831Please respect copyright.PENANAopHDhCWQEh
「是。」831Please respect copyright.PENANAlNCvn8CeOL
831Please respect copyright.PENANA8UpQvPic6B
燕尾服男聽命,他不知道按了什麼按鈕,下一秒,椅子下方的抽屜緩緩打開。燕尾服男從裡面拿出幾本書,問李晴煬:「少爺想看哪一本?」831Please respect copyright.PENANAWd2pVqA3Pl
831Please respect copyright.PENANAr90Ggi81wy
「嗯……X的!那是什麼東西!?」831Please respect copyright.PENANAkEo0mWgJVX
831Please respect copyright.PENANAJVVXlVGSLp
李晴煬整個人都醒了。顧爾兩手各拿一本AV女優雜誌,還一本正經的模樣,嚇得李晴煬差點從車窗跳出去。831Please respect copyright.PENANACmW1abHN6G
831Please respect copyright.PENANAcRp9zeUQ8o
「啊,屬下忘記少爺您失憶了,十分抱歉。」831Please respect copyright.PENANApGoRzzZVDm
831Please respect copyright.PENANA6Qmm9Dy1Ij
看到李晴煬的反應,燕尾服男也十分錯愕,解釋:「因為少爺以前都在車上看這個。」831Please respect copyright.PENANALOEq6DCE3v
831Please respect copyright.PENANAAl5WW4tPXg
李晴煬在心裡罵了聲髒話。為什麼十一歲的小鬼會喜歡看AV女優雜誌,而且這個小鬼還是自己!媽呀,他好不想承認自己是李晴煬!831Please respect copyright.PENANANAkqVAgFil
831Please respect copyright.PENANA8JiZ7q0j2K
他趕緊叫燕尾服男把東西放回原位,同時李晴煬問:「你知道我失憶?」831Please respect copyright.PENANASlQFqSfdM1
831Please respect copyright.PENANAyc0GqlLibh
「是,剛才本家的人有通知我。」831Please respect copyright.PENANAPqQTdZMeyO
831Please respect copyright.PENANAFYGDxLEzl1
李博洋說出去的。李晴煬在心裡得出這個結論。831Please respect copyright.PENANA1EipoEH72O
831Please respect copyright.PENANAVAY16b53zS
「介紹一下你自己。」831Please respect copyright.PENANA7zR7IoSnoQ
831Please respect copyright.PENANA92BcKnFPwy
李晴煬打量著燕尾服男,發現他長得挺順眼的,至少比他那個哥哥順眼,「正如你所說,我失憶了,誰也不認得。」831Please respect copyright.PENANAd6zmEdSPMf
831Please respect copyright.PENANAWF8S22zjxa
「是,也和少爺說聲抱歉,屬下忘記主動介紹。」831Please respect copyright.PENANAR7REvi08pV
831Please respect copyright.PENANADdGv7GoStP
燕尾服男將戴有白手套的右手放在胸前,朝李晴煬行了個禮。831Please respect copyright.PENANAlJ7HMaMRma
831Please respect copyright.PENANAoIXLVnBiuC
「屬下名顧爾,今年二十五,是晴煬少爺的貼身執事。」831Please respect copyright.PENANAnQQVFptYSi
831Please respect copyright.PENANACk4Beay72O
「貼身執事?」831Please respect copyright.PENANAv1DY4YFWBq
831Please respect copyright.PENANAKvnF4yAh3j
「是的,這是屬下服侍少爺的第五年,承蒙少爺照顧了。」831Please respect copyright.PENANAeTuh49t1s7
831Please respect copyright.PENANAIXI5nQxSdm
對顧爾產生興趣的李晴煬眨了眨眼,再問:「你在我們家工作幾年了?」831Please respect copyright.PENANADP0ILFfLml
831Please respect copyright.PENANA0JpkDGUX1i
「嗯……屬下十歲進入李門,起初只是打雜小弟,後來承蒙老爺提拔,五年前成為了您的貼身執事。總計十五年左右。」831Please respect copyright.PENANAnpxpbddPuW
831Please respect copyright.PENANA9z8ZC2bIaU
十五年。李晴煬心想。或許能從顧爾這裡問到很多事。831Please respect copyright.PENANAtjsUSI19VX
831Please respect copyright.PENANAxo5met9UDd
「你對李門了解多少?」李晴煬問。831Please respect copyright.PENANAjBfR2wqYVn
831Please respect copyright.PENANACE46v2KVfj
「得看少爺想知道什麼。」顧爾微笑。831Please respect copyright.PENANA9MqhmVqYNa
831Please respect copyright.PENANAjO8rEBpFHB
「從家族事業說起吧。」李晴煬說:「十大家族之所以被稱為十大家族,估計是掌握、壟斷了某種生意吧?」831Please respect copyright.PENANAdH1OLekDBV
831Please respect copyright.PENANAUTOx4L0uKd
「確實如此。十大家族幾乎壟斷了二十二世紀的各大產業,不過,李門的家族事業,稱之為『產業』有些不恰當。」831Please respect copyright.PENANA7IqTb0DDEW
831Please respect copyright.PENANAQ6zK6N0aI3
不等李晴煬開口,顧爾就反問:「晴煬少爺還記得聯合政府嗎?」831Please respect copyright.PENANAgYbtBmVnyS
831Please respect copyright.PENANAMCYuCiptj6
「我是失憶,不是失智。」李晴煬不高興地說。831Please respect copyright.PENANAVFamysKCqc
831Please respect copyright.PENANAVxYiR1ayR2
「抱歉,屬下說錯話了。」831Please respect copyright.PENANACpc5pXornk
831Please respect copyright.PENANASBRAP5vJeA
顧爾連忙道歉。李晴煬揮了揮手,表示不在意。831Please respect copyright.PENANAU28EgPHmek
831Please respect copyright.PENANAL9ijJp3WQN
「各區每五年會選出一名區域代表進入聯合政府執政。這些區域代表的候選人,幾乎都出自李門。」顧爾告訴李晴煬:「簡單來說,就是政治世家。」831Please respect copyright.PENANAxGbIADF2DW
831Please respect copyright.PENANAJWHDYMH4EA
「候選人都是我們家的?」李晴煬皺眉,「那有什麼好選的?」831Please respect copyright.PENANABs2Gjj912M
831Please respect copyright.PENANAc4TsCmOJhQ
「嗯……或許這正是聯合政府沒有實權的原因。只有姓李的才能被提名為候選人,說穿了,選舉只是形式。」831Please respect copyright.PENANAUokN8CyjF1
831Please respect copyright.PENANAUtQLKRVklv
李晴煬覺得不可思議,但仔細想想,這是高宇維的時代,民主早被二十一世紀的民族國家玩壞,會出現這種制度也不意外。831Please respect copyright.PENANACputeiqqGT
831Please respect copyright.PENANAVva4QL7o74
「不過,在李門,選舉是整個家族最重要的大事。」顧爾說:「這牽扯到自己在家族中的地位。如果當選為A區的代表,還能成為整個家族的領導人。」831Please respect copyright.PENANAF0AV1dM5VD
831Please respect copyright.PENANAItEhQoZ0qW
「就是你剛才提到的『老爺』?」831Please respect copyright.PENANAtRh1IojeMH
831Please respect copyright.PENANAYNRmZ59dYA
「沒錯。李門現在的領導人、現任的A區代表──李昂老爺。」831Please respect copyright.PENANAoTPN2flxiI
831Please respect copyright.PENANAtcSBcr2bON
李昂。李晴煬眨了眨眼,隱約對這名字有印象。831Please respect copyright.PENANAKFIOoHwzxQ
831Please respect copyright.PENANAUA5bZp1feV
「李昂老爺,以輩分來說,是晴煬少爺的伯父。」831Please respect copyright.PENANAs82y5aNS4V
831Please respect copyright.PENANAeheSEFoxFS
「伯父?」李晴煬反問:「我爸的哥哥?」831Please respect copyright.PENANAtIGPEjlJtZ
831Please respect copyright.PENANAb7MDDkI3Nd
「沒錯。李昂老爺現年五十五歲,未婚,也沒有子嗣。」831Please respect copyright.PENANAKbdNZ4XOqN
831Please respect copyright.PENANAZ9JAzKtcl4
「我爸呢?他叫什麼名字?」831Please respect copyright.PENANAlCuiLdiuFN
831Please respect copyright.PENANAfwnvexqKiW
「二爺名李康,他……」831Please respect copyright.PENANAnrIpSlQhs1
831Please respect copyright.PENANAzF5oXtC6Ot
顧爾話只說一半。李晴煬覺得奇怪,追問:「怎麼?幹嘛不說話?」831Please respect copyright.PENANAgACQjccBCN
831Please respect copyright.PENANAdoJ3E8bVXa
「……少爺,您不記得了嗎?」831Please respect copyright.PENANA1ZDpRodTnz
831Please respect copyright.PENANAyZ4kHYFB40
顧爾一副難以啟齒的樣子,但李晴煬叫他說,他就沒辦法違背命令。831Please respect copyright.PENANAi0aprXPU2i
831Please respect copyright.PENANAe2TJPnzv8x
「二爺他,十年前就過世了。」831Please respect copyright.PENANAiWs42BXv7O
831Please respect copyright.PENANAMnJaEhV2N5
「……!?」831Please respect copyright.PENANApTZL1zn8O2
831Please respect copyright.PENANAk0IOVPqTFQ
聽到顧爾的話,李晴煬的眼睛張大了一圈。831Please respect copyright.PENANALhkhmTEy9T
831Please respect copyright.PENANAxnbOm7Nfiu
「二爺年輕時得了腦炎,那之後,他的精神狀況就不太穩定。發作時,沒辦法準確判斷物體的大小與距離,常常頭痛,甚至會胡言亂語,說自己的身體變大或變小,之類的。」831Please respect copyright.PENANAnS7o4CluZE
831Please respect copyright.PENANAbKYiSxINP0
顧爾語帶落寞地告訴李晴煬:831Please respect copyright.PENANAbevngq6LVJ
831Please respect copyright.PENANAGUBkXd7A5Z
「十年前,您的母親病逝後,二爺的精神狀況更加不穩,幾天後被女僕發現自盡於寢室。那時的少爺非常小,博洋少爺也在那之後出家,少爺是由三爺扶養長大的。」831Please respect copyright.PENANAXYXdnp8lHP
831Please respect copyright.PENANAbv7ALqZ1K9
父母雙亡的設定來得太突然。李晴煬不記得他們,沒有悲傷的感覺,只是心情非常複雜,沒想到「李晴煬」有這樣的故事。831Please respect copyright.PENANArcMhRer7Ya
831Please respect copyright.PENANAXLo8J4AAjj
831Please respect copyright.PENANAR8DSz4f0Yu
──你所謂的『家』已經不屬於我。我的人生只屬於宇維少爺。現在是,未來也是。831Please respect copyright.PENANAN0OK0lXjE5
831Please respect copyright.PENANANdysiN5GUM
831Please respect copyright.PENANA9aP0CkRLdb
他想起李博洋說這話時的眼神和表情。當年的李晴煬剛出生,就算沒失憶,也對父母沒多大的印象;但李博洋不同,他當時六歲,失去雙親一定讓他打擊很大,所以才選擇逃避一切、遁入空門。831Please respect copyright.PENANAt6z27NIsvx
831Please respect copyright.PENANAmvO0JMKwoj
兄弟倆昨天不歡而散。自己明明什麼也不記得,還對李博洋說了過分的話。雖然對哥哥沒好感,李晴煬還是感到過意不去。831Please respect copyright.PENANAn7wPqIgNSF
831Please respect copyright.PENANAUO1GzN2ZeJ
「少爺,您還好嗎?」831Please respect copyright.PENANA2rkaoDQqkR
831Please respect copyright.PENANAUVRhAiOJfS
發現自己的臉色很糟,顧爾連忙道歉:「抱歉,屬下說了多餘的話。」831Please respect copyright.PENANAtgitBZwtmp
831Please respect copyright.PENANADEgWqHFVsY
「不,我沒事,謝謝你告訴我。」831Please respect copyright.PENANAHf2ZaCVs7l
831Please respect copyright.PENANAXdK2BvCCEq
聽到李晴煬說「謝謝」,顧爾露出很震驚的表情,但只有一下下。831Please respect copyright.PENANAXiejqYQ4nQ
831Please respect copyright.PENANANkIgG2Xfu8
車子駛上另一條高速公路。李晴煬收起私人情緒,繼續問顧爾:「你剛提到『三爺』,我爸還有一個弟弟?」831Please respect copyright.PENANAihDcAjEcRo
831Please respect copyright.PENANAmJu0CmaU9k
「是的。以輩分來說,三爺是您的叔叔。」顧爾老實回答。831Please respect copyright.PENANAYvcsGZqnvp
831Please respect copyright.PENANA94MsyV4Vy4
「叫什麼名字?」831Please respect copyright.PENANAlpalE0KHEb
831Please respect copyright.PENANAD2wXcl0pEr
「李央。」831Please respect copyright.PENANAjjSN4Pbqgn
831Please respect copyright.PENANAqDtCTgEy9B
李晴煬愣了愣。他們家人的名字,似乎都會押韻。831Please respect copyright.PENANAHn6s8182IW
831Please respect copyright.PENANAV5USyNdWKX
「少爺和三爺的感情很好,與其說叔姪,兩位的關係更像……朋友。」831Please respect copyright.PENANAV271dXAZwS
831Please respect copyright.PENANAwwr8Oy7o4S
說到朋友兩字,顧爾的表情有些奇怪,但只有一瞬間。831Please respect copyright.PENANAwo7OqCUqqt
831Please respect copyright.PENANAY5ZqQDXh8N
「聽到您平安無事,三爺非常高興。他原本有很多競選行程,一聽到您回來,就把行程全部取消,說要在家陪您。」831Please respect copyright.PENANAjbKqStEw08
831Please respect copyright.PENANAvqPdVOalRf
「競選行程?」李晴煬聽到關鍵字。831Please respect copyright.PENANAKfqBfRuqMi
831Please respect copyright.PENANAc8DkDowsLh
「是的,三爺在這次的選舉中,要挑戰老爺蟬聯四屆A區代表的紀錄。」831Please respect copyright.PENANADPpXOXihOy
831Please respect copyright.PENANApQU9YjYrK7
親兄弟競爭嗎?李晴煬在心裡冷笑,大人的世界真的很無聊。831Please respect copyright.PENANAjLZTY03B4I
831Please respect copyright.PENANATUtvLG2kR1
「什麼時候選?」831Please respect copyright.PENANANMEXJNFWlc
831Please respect copyright.PENANA5nDGHXCjqU
「明年的三月十一日。」831Please respect copyright.PENANABWYnSvlWWB
831Please respect copyright.PENANAEVJBq6J32k
「三月?」李晴煬算了算,「三個月後?」831Please respect copyright.PENANAbuAMTTGELn
831Please respect copyright.PENANACmwsaHTqqz
「是的,現在的選情很緊張,老爺和三爺一刻也不敢鬆懈。」831Please respect copyright.PENANAi2AfOCqzKz
831Please respect copyright.PENANA58UPuOj1Q7
「……。」831Please respect copyright.PENANAptTxVnNuvY
831Please respect copyright.PENANAZlKGZLzDra
李晴煬不在乎選舉,而是這個時間點,他和李博洋的打賭也是三個月。831Please respect copyright.PENANAYWUi4ptnZF
831Please respect copyright.PENANAhsxbgkoRwf
是巧合嗎?李晴煬不知道這兩者間有什麼關聯,但三個月絕對不是李博洋亂喊的,一定藏有他不知道的事。831Please respect copyright.PENANASKo0IT3J3C
831Please respect copyright.PENANAjf7y6OLU5g
「少爺,我們到了。」831Please respect copyright.PENANA4FqDNbizXW
831Please respect copyright.PENANA8Ko51xh8zv
車子不知不覺抵達目的地。李晴煬原本以為家是一座西式洋房,或中式的大宅院,事實卻是以上皆非。下車後的他當場愣在原地,脖子抬得非常高,自己竟然看不到這棟建築物的頂部。831Please respect copyright.PENANAYFpqq4dEeh
831Please respect copyright.PENANAgp7aZSTQQ7
「歡迎回來,少爺。」831Please respect copyright.PENANAax9JImU3K8
831Please respect copyright.PENANAW4i6FDKNi9
顧爾把手放在胸前,作了一個非常完美的九十度鞠躬。他的左手腕掛著一支金色的手錶,和這座建築物的外觀有幾分相似。831Please respect copyright.PENANAYAYeEuK80J
831Please respect copyright.PENANAoEL8iJsFZ3
831Please respect copyright.PENANAb2hqtRIlNf
「您沒看錯,這座建築名『十一塔』,世世代代的李門子弟皆居住於此。」831Please respect copyright.PENANAWSMK0IFc4m
831Please respect copyright.PENANALyZA4VEQ2I
831Please respect copyright.PENANA2N6lr8snT8
出現在李晴煬眼前的,是一座西式鐘塔,目測有一百多層。塔的正面有一個非常大的時鐘,時鐘是二十四小時制,上面都是羅馬數字,長針與短針好像鍍了一層金箔,閃閃發亮的。要是顧爾沒說,李晴煬還以為是觀光勝地。831Please respect copyright.PENANAfv0Cxbd3LY
831Please respect copyright.PENANAwOBfs5gBau
「這裡是絕對講究時間的地方。」831Please respect copyright.PENANApFJBWMHs9F
831Please respect copyright.PENANAuB9sU8EY3M
顧爾直起身。冷颼颼的風吹亂他的頭髮,幾縷瀏海垂了下來,看起來年輕許多,總算有二十五歲的模樣。831Please respect copyright.PENANAnSSLemBZht
831Please respect copyright.PENANARooK7WoYh4
「我們的一言一舉,都被時間控制著。」
