2161年2月20日，中午十二點，教育中心C區420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx5APc116tP
420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzmKHgvXiSl
420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0yPQ5514id
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。420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ68yoS2jBCT
420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsjVjmcbw7c
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。420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxd1Hh4eS4q
420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9tb4iB4Sst
「啊──」420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0JD2CcCyYy
420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBbLUOeUQOK
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。420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ83FxwOSB8D
420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAZ4AEUMHLJ
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。420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ4yftCE5MR
420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe6QNKd4qu1
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。420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIRO4skJcpu
420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvdXWJwfXIb
420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjVoguVOszK
「凱凱，怎麼又吃泡麵啊？」420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdF1je54wUo
420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdSR1Zoymyp
420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm2WxuWuDBb
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。420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0sC2QzVb0t
420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡld1Kur0oO3
「白絃！說過多少次，不要一聲不響就出現在我家！」420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9DSOBNO5HQ
420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTd4JghYINa
說完，凱薩扔了把菜刀，被白絃輕鬆閃開。420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYKCwNVQeIA
420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdqV25FFHMl
「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。420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDRZXzRyatX
420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp4X4S7hxIZ
「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！」420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRNSpEL6ue3
420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1PLX8rZitU
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。420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTmvdAj3UoG
420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaRF20beWVL
「你家怎麼這麼髒啊？」420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrDHNFqU30s
420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMdX3OCvfBl
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。」420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7SAPxN6ZiS
420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpBvJi8urAe
「吵死了。」420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9XPq8RXHkd
420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsZNI3mABKL
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。420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMe4xN69YVq
420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjHthPaDBDx
「艾莉絲在做什麼？」白絃突然問他。420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6pJGc1UKV8
420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡObX1RbE4Bw
「誰知道。」凱薩說：「在夏家吧。」420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg74VX6pzxH
420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQLGD4dIAqK
「她為什麼老是待在家？夏家明明無聊的要死。」420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPsnHnVRcio
420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrH0qBwwe6v
「誰知道。」凱薩重複一樣的句型：「在等妳吧。」420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiwUlOWqPJd
420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhKkER2pHos
「……。」420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXTZ3U5BEtS
420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1l4hnA7krZ
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。420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeYx6ZJS10A
420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡomoYuqYJwP
「聽說妳被里奧揍得很慘。」420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsAZM7KMfxz
420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCS6AwyeBR8
凱薩突然說。白絃有點不高興，「四年前的事了，提這幹嘛？」420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5N7rQq6kIb
420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDYc4wNnpAB
「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？」420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPkgPOnyPCD
420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoEwNfE5uCD
白絃大方承認：「我現在打不贏我弟弟。」420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGC6XXuHpu2
420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBJt5aceKDP
「真是災難。」凱薩挑眉，「要是李仲翔回來，妳要怎麼辦？」420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMhQWWUrHnE
420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt6BDsjb7xS
「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。」420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfnoey4Su0W
420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOHKhMpSuLA
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。420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBk0aOGX4pi
420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbvL7b5TcOT
「這是什麼？」420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrSvqbLK4tk
420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxnfQ1f234h
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！」420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJffK3LqhQA
420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtrOypQrQyC
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！」420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgitC0szveN
420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKaWAFXW4a1
盯著項鍊，白絃不知為何陷入沉思，凱薩講什麼都沒聽見。420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzmE5Sgeezr
420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXX4X7RQP11
「喂！聽不懂人話嗎？我叫妳放下！」420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡImcxOGki18
420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwTT15DyvUM
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？」420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkUqq14OUXj
420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjdgM4DGtuE
「啥！？」火山爆發，「當然不准！那是我花好多錢買的！！」420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAohT0Rmm0i
420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMgCGXrRAum
「錢的問題嗎？太好了！」420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXwGfv8Jg6U
420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlW8VBPL1Se
說完，白絃拿出一大疊鈔票。420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCF92y2UMww
420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqaxhrLjFmA
「妳哪來這麼多錢？」凱薩困惑，「妳不是無業遊民？」420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAO8BbnEB9C
420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhYsvPvJtwW
「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。」420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA8FfKhXb3n
420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡimrZti16lw
「妳是在挖苦我親子關係惡劣嗎？」420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOyaw81VKOX
420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqhIKrMmsgl
「嘿，至少你還有葛蕾絲，這比什麼都重要。」420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPkVqmzTohZ
420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFAnGcKVrVP
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。420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcD7JZxa8si
420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrK0TFmYmlh
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。420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0cUWjnav0I
420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAkZITcaIn3
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。420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE8bWR3duMF
420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIUfQQS9hCk
「唉。」420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLx0JBdR2XT
420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxKmtNZsqxG
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？420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoGQdFHiUmX
420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV8rvcGU6RN
否則，罵歸罵，凱薩卻不趕人，任白絃在家裡飄來飄去。420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmZQ2ViWlc4
420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK8odhhU0xr
「妳聽說了嗎？里奧把她女兒送去薩拉凱爾。」420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFOJVET6O6I
420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1rdDXyZY8A
凱薩隨便開了話題。白絃竟然不知道，回頭問：「什麼？」420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTnwIYsz9lB
420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0UBRp9QYZs
「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？」420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH79BIt7Dio
420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTOMH0IUU4P
「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。」420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyVVkTLpubi
420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfpWhvdjxdI
「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。」420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaXQz2MEiXo
420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY0FLqyBhNZ
「小約翰的繼承人……」420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDcD8c5Rhg7
420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsLFRlooZ0p
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。420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmLbAFLIhoZ
420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn32IZZjqPc
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。420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2KjeHahysG
420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMpdldXs9mX
「葛蕾絲也問了妳的事。」420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ17FBBHHRDc
420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEjUwV69KOx
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。」420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUFUctql871
420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlFGsLeStcX
白絃瞇起眼睛，歪頭，「我為什麼要殺他？」420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9MgiTdbksn
420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuB5CJCoyWP
「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。」420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvdCsDEZd9O
420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRSoGT649Lk
「是喔──」白絃轉了轉紫色的眼珠，「你怎麼回答？」420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOfIsMw5fNZ
420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQcCk2nSAAE
「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。」420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5pklIJTdYN
420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ52CQL97qLM
「哦？」白絃故意又問：「我想做什麼？」420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOePSU2JaWp
420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡepWp3GD7Yu
「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。」420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcMTbGKUz2Q
420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeFbjkPypYf
「……。」420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYcQCD0QaqX
420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH5n7E5oZs7
「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？」420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnswI2RRjDM
420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbtOnD4EBa0
凱薩說完，兩人都陷入沉默，心照不宣。420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRdb6JeyeIw
420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8ofM5gkV6L
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。420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡISk4S1OrPS
420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPFuPuVS2Lv
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。420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEuPwgbLj6I
420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZQKZe10vHp
420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUUzpZ7tskK
凱薩、夏悠、白絃、李仲翔。420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIsVIzwgz5R
420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdHVOuAvvOQ
四個絕頂聰明的人，歷史上的針鋒相對，那只是故事的一頁。420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvpuZwK9mmq
420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9eWThGttBI
他們的關係不是針鋒相對，而是惺惺相惜。420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhoVcFBNkZh
420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZXmYQWWEpd
420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXIPTvOWI5i
「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。」420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfbc8nZMhJq
420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEeIdxV3qpF
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。420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPg43nsqriH
420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSRN9EuCfoo
「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。」420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNDc6oUXIna
420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSZ8bhFWshC
「……嗯。」420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3696KZZTF4
420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLjg2PLfpf9
白絃點頭，兩手摀著臉。凱薩聽見她在哭。420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYJeccJGARB
420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2E3I0pkDUQ
420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5K1Z1hl5T9
沒錯，白絃在哭。420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpyJ0E0fxz2
420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp6um65hxRM
她已經很久，沒在別人面前哭了。420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz0mMgJosoU
420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡChsjqan6vK
420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpKgBNZQDh7
「凱凱……」420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEuis98HGob
420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJT4qprjpBY
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？」420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCwH2oOZSKm
420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSITotv7YHq
「當然。」420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ87EUHmh2mG
420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi6UcBgu6Fz
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。420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxBM1dHT4UB
420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDCUdh1y5A3
「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……」420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAD21N3K2Po
420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXJ77ek9OXl
「『有社交障礙的科學怪人』。」420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaL92xQXwSr
420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3htrRYSYlw
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。420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcixV8U969C
420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTdidfbGgoP
「真是慧眼獨到啊，那個死老頭。」420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS8FDiTREJP
420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYdYGm4KHTg
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。」420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhAZO6agBhx
420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ892CbA4F04
「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。」420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPND9DhnGjM
420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjoQy9uz43I
「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。」420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs4WrLexqpg
420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCHhlBeKFCD
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。420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzoabnzO3Zq
420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx9sQ6jzquB
「白絃。」420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWsibxHUIV7
420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ53qQPaf8eU
「嗯？」420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsx7pL4vfjh
420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgJkOhuFPmp
「等事情告一段落，」凱薩表示：「我也打算走了。」420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9OihPRcwck
420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSZZTGaXNUM
「……。」420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbGYEGIYdWX
420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOmtlBTQuDI
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。420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcYLj1Kllmw
420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRtVzbRmIO5
「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。」420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYxY9q38AHo
420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDcOKO1lqVu
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。420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMngjGJ7RVb
420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhdbaUa1LPf
「你不想見仲翔嗎？」白絃問凱薩。420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhztxCaBca2
420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk7FUluZMAd
「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。」420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmcJE2xZZNl
420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnAvsQJEIEe
「……這樣啊。」白絃的聲音放輕，「確實，仲翔一定也這麼想。」420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk2rHnja2qo
420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUmeXw6AeGP
凱薩抬頭，看著飄在空中的白絃，用久違的稱呼叫她：「小白。」420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2VNGremOui
420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl6YxeT76M8
「……？」420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcKLDdkajgT
420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLhIx2O29VJ
「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。」420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoviTCQ3hiU
420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV4FiLJuar5
「……。」420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbt4i10pSkW
420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX5G97iabtw
「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。」420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcaRswGD0G3
420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ09RDUDXHGm
「……。」420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDoHvxGKwy2
420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp6imvnugJW
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。420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGLPdSab0G2
420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTTT7I3cgqH
「凱凱還是老樣子，很愛操心呢！」420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0XQRtcq9rG
420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOqYiSyGttM
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。420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPucrUWJcPi
420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhZMLqYRPbv
「我會記得的，不用擔心。」420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡodUj4uPqha
420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCnzPpIBzwb
白絃恢復成平時有精神的模樣，看起來不像哭過。420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8qwlRdFmwE
420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv6cPHYYgR6
「你的事，要告訴葛蕾絲和尼可拉斯嗎？」420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJnsGnp8cxX
420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJWYpqj7TE0
「時候到了，我會跟他們講，妳不要多嘴。」420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbMkgemHrAf
420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrFuqvqKTkk
「是是，聽你的，都聽你的。」420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoa6sQSM5cG
420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiMg6gCzbwX
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。」420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmLrWVMNXqg
