2157年7月1日,早上七點,政治中心A區607Please respect copyright.PENANAS9Zl0mr7KY
607Please respect copyright.PENANARNVsQxgvJi
607Please respect copyright.PENANAwRcXGLIDK0
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。607Please respect copyright.PENANACju1vSpz7C
607Please respect copyright.PENANAHqo3Q1W637
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。607Please respect copyright.PENANA7CIByBFVWL
607Please respect copyright.PENANAdP9flBwPo5
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。607Please respect copyright.PENANA4sud7AOncg
607Please respect copyright.PENANAUGeoQJYh2K
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──607Please respect copyright.PENANAF3Bfxodt27
607Please respect copyright.PENANAT7fQddJjkh
「……!」607Please respect copyright.PENANAa9YyLQZ26l
607Please respect copyright.PENANAS50KmirsJc
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。607Please respect copyright.PENANAiDyHFW7D6Z
607Please respect copyright.PENANAuUB2DctlcY
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?607Please respect copyright.PENANA5NKPnCodP1
607Please respect copyright.PENANAYHNHc3x80m
「撲通、撲通、撲通、撲通……」607Please respect copyright.PENANAda2QUzEQ1o
607Please respect copyright.PENANAWynGJkIzWs
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──607Please respect copyright.PENANA4LyTVCSAwj
607Please respect copyright.PENANArGuVi6f9Qo
「……!」607Please respect copyright.PENANASU7wrvaPGk
607Please respect copyright.PENANALxdSmsaLqf
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。607Please respect copyright.PENANAn5r2nlPUxy
607Please respect copyright.PENANAzb1TnGEbiG
何況謝綠已經認不得他。607Please respect copyright.PENANAMnmLaJTHmT
607Please respect copyright.PENANARodasItHD0
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!607Please respect copyright.PENANAZ7uLzUifpz
607Please respect copyright.PENANAR09ijqzCP2
607Please respect copyright.PENANAPZcvNGUgz7
不可以去找她。607Please respect copyright.PENANAwJdO29djpZ
607Please respect copyright.PENANA8rOhLKqBCu
不可以和她相認。607Please respect copyright.PENANAvCgdoMuaAE
607Please respect copyright.PENANA7qKLa7daMy
不可以……讓她的位置,凌駕在高宇維上面。607Please respect copyright.PENANAl52hi9TEFN
607Please respect copyright.PENANAyyVPJHmlBe
607Please respect copyright.PENANAeyQuUOQLVV
「……。」607Please respect copyright.PENANAu8WeHLMy1L
607Please respect copyright.PENANACukr41OfT0
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。607Please respect copyright.PENANA5UY2QADvIP
607Please respect copyright.PENANAtRVp14Szv6
下一秒,另一邊的謝綠拿出手機,看到來電顯示。607Please respect copyright.PENANA20csW772tW
607Please respect copyright.PENANAOGReOyPlFt
「……!」607Please respect copyright.PENANAqk9u8UsC70
607Please respect copyright.PENANAh8rPuxydCE
謝綠嚇一大跳,連忙滑下接聽,遲疑開口:「喂?」607Please respect copyright.PENANAqRubhzojRG
607Please respect copyright.PENANAGtGFElRiUP
「嗨,謝綠。」607Please respect copyright.PENANAHRHVMLRYnM
607Please respect copyright.PENANAgIqkB4VI8Z
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。」607Please respect copyright.PENANAcyJex6tuoh
607Please respect copyright.PENANARUtYsQovo6
「李晴煬?是你嗎?」607Please respect copyright.PENANAJBkQeSfak2
607Please respect copyright.PENANANv0JvIktEm
謝綠愣了愣,驚訝的聲音裡夾雜喜悅,「你的聲音……?」607Please respect copyright.PENANADa1J554pGF
607Please respect copyright.PENANAUC4IVdFkRN
「很怪吧?因為本大……我長喉結了,哈哈。」607Please respect copyright.PENANABeJgUcMsqQ
607Please respect copyright.PENANA4u9J4O9LUe
他撒了個無傷大雅的謊,然後問:「比起那個,妳過得好嗎?」607Please respect copyright.PENANADTKw0cVnQB
607Please respect copyright.PENANAJjvF617vbd
「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。」607Please respect copyright.PENANAWoUCzKexVZ
607Please respect copyright.PENANABYDDx8Jg5s
「感覺得出來,妳的聲音比以前開朗。」607Please respect copyright.PENANAoSTSXx0qek
607Please respect copyright.PENANAmdKTAVP5t6
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。607Please respect copyright.PENANAPyouGNwRo7
607Please respect copyright.PENANApgmWxLY4wZ
「倒是你,李晴煬,你還好嗎?」607Please respect copyright.PENANArVTYVFAn5v
607Please respect copyright.PENANAH0ke02M1Te
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。」607Please respect copyright.PENANACH7SILAMT5
607Please respect copyright.PENANAquZuQ8RsKq
「……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。」607Please respect copyright.PENANADoLJakDXn6
607Please respect copyright.PENANAjGHfCwgpec
謝綠遲疑了一會兒,大膽問:607Please respect copyright.PENANADpaGHVqaXG
607Please respect copyright.PENANALtn8hj2neA
607Please respect copyright.PENANAGMLXjGRb87
「你變成神與畜了嗎?李晴煬。」607Please respect copyright.PENANAw7GtIMAkid
607Please respect copyright.PENANAER2CaKDnNy
607Please respect copyright.PENANA0m43S9mk59
李晴煬閉上眼睛,默認。607Please respect copyright.PENANAQI45SG27Fc
607Please respect copyright.PENANAREGqwN4tqZ
「……我應該早點聯絡你的。」607Please respect copyright.PENANArCNbDEJfFp
607Please respect copyright.PENANAPlFFnYu6gL
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。607Please respect copyright.PENANA0GPxFeOOId
607Please respect copyright.PENANAzJDHuIB77h
「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。」607Please respect copyright.PENANAYDDAOkDGpA
607Please respect copyright.PENANAEJ1PNnIDj4
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。607Please respect copyright.PENANAX9hGKkKevt
607Please respect copyright.PENANALWrlvxe5Xw
「哪,謝綠。」607Please respect copyright.PENANArsu2HccQHr
607Please respect copyright.PENANAMWTeNnQN1X
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?」607Please respect copyright.PENANAtSp5AJC9ur
607Please respect copyright.PENANA4WNLVLZtlT
「欸?」謝綠的肩膀震了一下,「為什麼?」607Please respect copyright.PENANAOGXjZX3R2h
607Please respect copyright.PENANANJPSWwHYvN
「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。」607Please respect copyright.PENANA5H7dFLVXOW
607Please respect copyright.PENANACvOA0fKeaI
「……!」607Please respect copyright.PENANAgXCsVYlN8r
607Please respect copyright.PENANAx4dOHdtG6s
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。607Please respect copyright.PENANAQpRAA2DVhT
607Please respect copyright.PENANAinVzSMb75V
「不瞞妳說,我最近過得不好,老是想起以前的事。」607Please respect copyright.PENANAOPtNv5W1qr
607Please respect copyright.PENANAeAmW9XWEzV
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。」607Please respect copyright.PENANAyflZvVubF4
607Please respect copyright.PENANACs73rGCEX9
「哪句話?」607Please respect copyright.PENANAPgWx0IY9Tk
607Please respect copyright.PENANA7r207FmyPM
「『越是親近,越會互相傷害。』」607Please respect copyright.PENANAJy2j1NRxC8
607Please respect copyright.PENANAr0fx1ODcQI
李晴煬閉上眼睛。607Please respect copyright.PENANAqjRDlssjCK
607Please respect copyright.PENANARFrFV2tr85
「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。」607Please respect copyright.PENANAWxgIZn1XVH
607Please respect copyright.PENANAeUe3XkuyJd
「……。」謝綠突然叫他的名字:「李晴煬。」607Please respect copyright.PENANAKvbGNSdXsN
607Please respect copyright.PENANADUlHry8sXn
「嗯?」607Please respect copyright.PENANACSRZpB1JXw
607Please respect copyright.PENANA67jey3Ix4N
「李央,是不是你殺的?」607Please respect copyright.PENANAH1CDNaool4
607Please respect copyright.PENANAam13UFZHaR
李晴煬陷入沉默,這是他今天的第二次默認。607Please respect copyright.PENANAvOxfGunJA4
607Please respect copyright.PENANAb3ax2s2zcH
「天啊。」607Please respect copyright.PENANAvUFlKys1gj
607Please respect copyright.PENANAuuRJM0w5Jv
謝綠用手摀住眼睛,感到相當難過。607Please respect copyright.PENANAa0nhSQ8KgM
607Please respect copyright.PENANADV6ZN9jx8g
「我不敢聯絡你的這段時間,竟然發生這麼多事……!」607Please respect copyright.PENANAAhAcCiPxOq
607Please respect copyright.PENANAUtRmXSJNUn
「不是妳的錯。」李晴煬反過來安慰她:「命運把我帶到這裡。」607Please respect copyright.PENANAJ6D2GlEe8E
607Please respect copyright.PENANAKIy1W1sJ8z
「如果是那樣,你的命運也太粗暴了。」607Please respect copyright.PENANAc4ZhjsZbkz
607Please respect copyright.PENANAMVA4OGvBdk
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。607Please respect copyright.PENANA190hT6bmUG
607Please respect copyright.PENANASIhGRsAg7g
「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。」607Please respect copyright.PENANASJGnEmJvFa
607Please respect copyright.PENANAGPdPjw18TQ
「時間?」607Please respect copyright.PENANA4taft71l39
607Please respect copyright.PENANAcoWmFRZJhr
「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。」607Please respect copyright.PENANA3q1vZLF7tS
607Please respect copyright.PENANAv09leAHzwJ
謝綠微微一笑,「你這麼堅強,一定能找到屬於自己的幸福。」607Please respect copyright.PENANAVUir7a8nrB
607Please respect copyright.PENANAAXmZWDbgqM
「……但願如此。」李晴煬發自內心地說:「謝謝妳。」607Please respect copyright.PENANAVpZhCZYkxT
607Please respect copyright.PENANAruOS3ga7n2
「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。」607Please respect copyright.PENANAVtMoz3HSxe
607Please respect copyright.PENANADvRJUS0QJw
「沒關係,妳去忙吧。」李晴煬問:「我還能打給妳嗎?」607Please respect copyright.PENANA2uYoKG0Dym
607Please respect copyright.PENANAp1iISW4vqB
「當然!」謝綠說:「我沒辦法無時無刻接電話,你可以傳訊息。」607Please respect copyright.PENANAcpBLwG2Qfp
607Please respect copyright.PENANAkqF3pR0RD9
「謝謝。」李晴煬又道謝一次,「再見,小綠。」607Please respect copyright.PENANA3hYLYVLjSI
607Please respect copyright.PENANAJmzy6H08TC
「再見啦,晴煬。」607Please respect copyright.PENANAqngY52X1Tn
607Please respect copyright.PENANAGYEueDUh5N
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。607Please respect copyright.PENANAXCkXXKQOMO
607Please respect copyright.PENANAeePvGqXfvu
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。607Please respect copyright.PENANAf6gJZujTkw
607Please respect copyright.PENANAZuOq23zrUZ
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。607Please respect copyright.PENANAwSf5cOU8AM
607Please respect copyright.PENANArH1T9T0SQV
607Please respect copyright.PENANABShnhCaTV7
「『只剩時間能幫你』……這樣啊。」607Please respect copyright.PENANAalgYh1mBXa
607Please respect copyright.PENANA1DulEzTxBc
607Please respect copyright.PENANAVnzp8r3tXP
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。607Please respect copyright.PENANAcAIGys1OBG
607Please respect copyright.PENANAswn57H2gmj
607Please respect copyright.PENANAioYM5c1JD3
「原本只是有點在意,才過來看看。」607Please respect copyright.PENANAQJjdnThIVP
607Please respect copyright.PENANAMSEheEdVed
「真有你的啊,晴煬。」607Please respect copyright.PENANAlFwvnbrdry
607Please respect copyright.PENANAiBKIkFrzxi
607Please respect copyright.PENANAktDVdfhqOF
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。607Please respect copyright.PENANAI97fJ9eqD6
607Please respect copyright.PENANAo2RoEZETF3
「宇維少爺……!」607Please respect copyright.PENANAYHM6DVYss6
607Please respect copyright.PENANAt2dHSS3t0g
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。607Please respect copyright.PENANAQXUokWh37A
607Please respect copyright.PENANAeQgRQIs0gk
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。607Please respect copyright.PENANAhuoiWvVZR0
607Please respect copyright.PENANAOVnd65HRAI
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。607Please respect copyright.PENANAOjOnWfTfDq
607Please respect copyright.PENANAzwMzGYmHNP
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。607Please respect copyright.PENANAF8mF69USz9
607Please respect copyright.PENANAwr0iAq5Oln
「嘿咻。」607Please respect copyright.PENANAq7wKWN3pNs
607Please respect copyright.PENANAs6H2vjhoZc
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。607Please respect copyright.PENANAi0po0kumyg
607Please respect copyright.PENANA0HyAMRuNqk
「宇維少爺……」607Please respect copyright.PENANAC9P9IyesRU
607Please respect copyright.PENANAEquTCS9xd9
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?」607Please respect copyright.PENANAuHSBJRNCXM
607Please respect copyright.PENANA1iRNpLBKA5
「嗯?你不是和謝賢有約嗎?」607Please respect copyright.PENANAfiYBFaRzYq
607Please respect copyright.PENANAXfjKByzSAQ
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。」607Please respect copyright.PENANAYjQEYPKoDo
607Please respect copyright.PENANAZk4K6RUliB
「……!?」607Please respect copyright.PENANAcM7uXlB9QK
607Please respect copyright.PENANAHF95wCfUNa
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?607Please respect copyright.PENANAtLNnxcAwTR
607Please respect copyright.PENANAvupvdfWSaQ
「先不說這個了。晴煬,你剛跟謝綠說了什麼?」607Please respect copyright.PENANA2FzQJLRVpn
607Please respect copyright.PENANAL1ttI5fbfu
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。607Please respect copyright.PENANAe07gwyeOMB
607Please respect copyright.PENANATrJpxb0wrp
「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?」607Please respect copyright.PENANACu6hjVbRpy
607Please respect copyright.PENANAVGFXnWt8ul
李晴煬沒有回話。607Please respect copyright.PENANAwgtR4QppOQ
607Please respect copyright.PENANAHgHsa3dJrq
「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?」607Please respect copyright.PENANAgiPhdwjqMB
607Please respect copyright.PENANAsy4w6PWxoJ
「不!我……!」607Please respect copyright.PENANA8avDJAy7Mj
607Please respect copyright.PENANAd5TFbkRd4h
話說到一半就卡住。李晴煬發現,自己沒辦法撒這個謊。607Please respect copyright.PENANASMG9XDqPFx
607Please respect copyright.PENANAe8TSRgZcZy
「宇維少爺,我很抱歉,我不會再因為私情洩漏其他資訊。」607Please respect copyright.PENANAm5FebddtoV
607Please respect copyright.PENANAY7ZrU1bHGU
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:607Please respect copyright.PENANAtURVfzANyB
607Please respect copyright.PENANA66Ay4kdG84
607Please respect copyright.PENANA1qwk3BE0rA
「不會洩漏,但會幫她隱瞞,是嗎?」607Please respect copyright.PENANAv6VQDws9un
607Please respect copyright.PENANA9w9aTgHtkl
607Please respect copyright.PENANAogoPaUVYYB
「……!」607Please respect copyright.PENANA3WyFoSysma
607Please respect copyright.PENANAh1X0YoNWDA
就像給心臟來了記重擊,李晴煬嚇得當場閉嘴。607Please respect copyright.PENANAbsqZmZlAzo
607Please respect copyright.PENANAEwuX5luZ8c
「不用怕,晴煬,我不會怪你。」607Please respect copyright.PENANAqXBvkVQawh
607Please respect copyright.PENANAtF575yOo39
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。607Please respect copyright.PENANAwKX3ZcijjX
607Please respect copyright.PENANAN60r2Gau7e
607Please respect copyright.PENANAhUI2Fx2rRb
「你只是有點不完美,沒關係。」607Please respect copyright.PENANA3HpCdckkJe
607Please respect copyright.PENANAI6Mq4BDR5B
「我讓『時間』來幫你。」
