2154年12月12日,晚上七點,政治中心A區768Please respect copyright.PENANAEMcWF3JGcN
768Please respect copyright.PENANA1ncVnEEFG3
768Please respect copyright.PENANAjh6ihJjOTx
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。768Please respect copyright.PENANAfcmAzo0Naw
768Please respect copyright.PENANAM3SCCAHJzB
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。768Please respect copyright.PENANA2rG0qA7C3u
768Please respect copyright.PENANAFGhd8dqnCl
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。768Please respect copyright.PENANABbeH8oTNok
768Please respect copyright.PENANACRcK3njvo5
「恭候多時,晴煬少爺。」768Please respect copyright.PENANAez4ioHo9BK
768Please respect copyright.PENANAlBljcBex7Y
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。768Please respect copyright.PENANA9NIx8aEvCn
768Please respect copyright.PENANA9izzZF5DU5
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。768Please respect copyright.PENANAkafKkYqbUu
768Please respect copyright.PENANANy4Q9HElh1
「請少爺上車。」768Please respect copyright.PENANA9I7h6IuWFG
768Please respect copyright.PENANAaIr9cHc8qv
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。768Please respect copyright.PENANAEJfBi75zzv
768Please respect copyright.PENANANZ9xjI4tRV
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。768Please respect copyright.PENANAJVvHZBItnD
768Please respect copyright.PENANAHaxkqJndDY
「車程要多久?」車門關上後,李晴煬問坐在他對面的燕尾服男。768Please respect copyright.PENANAebGAmoEk6d
768Please respect copyright.PENANAFqVf1RxPiu
「走特殊通道的話,約莫三十分鐘。」燕尾服男回答。768Please respect copyright.PENANAeufYxjt3iF
768Please respect copyright.PENANALwq4LVwvE2
「特殊通道?」768Please respect copyright.PENANAl3qGBfJeOg
768Please respect copyright.PENANAdbEZTLbcqP
「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。」768Please respect copyright.PENANANlaalCFi2D
768Please respect copyright.PENANADeQCnKGwy2
「這樣啊。」李晴煬換問:「走一般的道路呢?」768Please respect copyright.PENANACyHDBVzoID
768Please respect copyright.PENANABYht2MVJU9
「……?」768Please respect copyright.PENANA6HNCk8QeRx
768Please respect copyright.PENANAqPq4Ipp2ys
燕尾服男露出驚訝的表情。李晴煬眨了眨眼,「怎麼了?」768Please respect copyright.PENANAwrV6nnHRKS
768Please respect copyright.PENANA0RZ9XYMMoX
「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。」768Please respect copyright.PENANApo2ELYm100
768Please respect copyright.PENANAPWcPqvb0fh
「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。」768Please respect copyright.PENANA4Zg7LTF61G
768Please respect copyright.PENANACq1cuV80mQ
「是。」768Please respect copyright.PENANAtArIXEjr2G
768Please respect copyright.PENANAKKKYK7S5gW
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。768Please respect copyright.PENANAoEi4LYdCPu
768Please respect copyright.PENANAkFdQe9Qjmq
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。768Please respect copyright.PENANAcdSc2bFuAh
768Please respect copyright.PENANANd3GWlFBT4
「少爺。」768Please respect copyright.PENANAhGTxwxsfgw
768Please respect copyright.PENANAOgpvVaDVzU
燕尾服男突然叫了他一聲。李晴煬把頭轉回來,「嗯?」768Please respect copyright.PENANASji3wWbKht
768Please respect copyright.PENANAqeSMOyz4da
「您肚子會餓嗎?」燕尾服男問。768Please respect copyright.PENANAfLridzCi0d
768Please respect copyright.PENANAmjLoN95LjK
「還好,剛剛在飛機上有吃。」768Please respect copyright.PENANANkcoxRP8DO
768Please respect copyright.PENANAMjrX7s1EhG
「那,要不要喝點什麼?」768Please respect copyright.PENANA1Wy2MiLRYt
768Please respect copyright.PENANA3yBFsBTD5P
「也不用,給我能打發時間的東西吧。」李晴煬隨口說:「書之類的。」768Please respect copyright.PENANA6naQK1sH5U
768Please respect copyright.PENANA8IicWezJWm
「是。」768Please respect copyright.PENANAbf6TE736Vj
768Please respect copyright.PENANAfCUUJ3Tcx4
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?」768Please respect copyright.PENANAesZRlTNOiU
768Please respect copyright.PENANAvxODR04gPN
「嗯……X的!那是什麼東西!?」768Please respect copyright.PENANAVtde4gwuXl
768Please respect copyright.PENANAbnJO5uIEpn
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。768Please respect copyright.PENANAGmrAdaF0Z2
768Please respect copyright.PENANAvBSihN4Je4
「啊,屬下忘記少爺您失憶了,十分抱歉。」768Please respect copyright.PENANAzuSEHNEJNy
768Please respect copyright.PENANAMSNVSoBG5M
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。」768Please respect copyright.PENANAW0o9iEQPB3
768Please respect copyright.PENANAMiiSuS0xMn
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!768Please respect copyright.PENANAHQ0fRxAq6Q
768Please respect copyright.PENANAIRiU9LwjKc
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?」768Please respect copyright.PENANAgQOsLXQ5Tt
768Please respect copyright.PENANAFiFz9U79i8
「是,剛才本家的人有通知我。」768Please respect copyright.PENANAMbLCwD9fcD
768Please respect copyright.PENANAgPsevhYXVs
李博洋說出去的。李晴煬在心裡得出這個結論。768Please respect copyright.PENANAfHwPjJ9uMh
768Please respect copyright.PENANArwvUyQxtB7
「介紹一下你自己。」768Please respect copyright.PENANAltQzBsEriu
768Please respect copyright.PENANAEUt9DLUqPm
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。」768Please respect copyright.PENANAl27A4pG0gd
768Please respect copyright.PENANAqcLrDp7vNy
「是,也和少爺說聲抱歉,屬下忘記主動介紹。」768Please respect copyright.PENANAWHJu1hIGDQ
768Please respect copyright.PENANAnL42N6KrVs
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。768Please respect copyright.PENANAL23Ycxh13l
768Please respect copyright.PENANANCyKpiNtEk
「屬下名顧爾,今年二十五,是晴煬少爺的貼身執事。」768Please respect copyright.PENANAv05eiCOqse
768Please respect copyright.PENANAPAVlMk5TU1
「貼身執事?」768Please respect copyright.PENANAaSZiIKPmDw
768Please respect copyright.PENANAwGZifwgb6b
「是的,這是屬下服侍少爺的第五年,承蒙少爺照顧了。」768Please respect copyright.PENANAXUzYbFnjFi
768Please respect copyright.PENANAfag2ZzFCIW
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?」768Please respect copyright.PENANAaZOilZYqeZ
768Please respect copyright.PENANAFi6hLDc2Yy
「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。」768Please respect copyright.PENANAHfsUrO0iyU
768Please respect copyright.PENANAes9B6OwkID
十五年。李晴煬心想。或許能從顧爾這裡問到很多事。768Please respect copyright.PENANAyYNzEr7vt3
768Please respect copyright.PENANAhQ0XlA2yxQ
「你對李門了解多少?」李晴煬問。768Please respect copyright.PENANAtRi6i169IB
768Please respect copyright.PENANA1WehS1mzUp
「得看少爺想知道什麼。」顧爾微笑。768Please respect copyright.PENANAR0Oy5T1p1L
768Please respect copyright.PENANA1CNNMTFrRw
「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?」768Please respect copyright.PENANAhO6WjKQsk4
768Please respect copyright.PENANAyYusNm94rR
「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。」768Please respect copyright.PENANAHgyGQBTlUS
768Please respect copyright.PENANATEcfqIf3Og
不等李晴煬開口,顧爾就反問:「晴煬少爺還記得聯合政府嗎?」768Please respect copyright.PENANAREyY3Qvt6C
768Please respect copyright.PENANAwVJ8SjNIA8
「我是失憶,不是失智。」李晴煬不高興地說。768Please respect copyright.PENANAEQhM78TSkl
768Please respect copyright.PENANAi3GHn4HYEc
「抱歉,屬下說錯話了。」768Please respect copyright.PENANAlBec8HgOxu
768Please respect copyright.PENANA5RbZ7hIhzh
顧爾連忙道歉。李晴煬揮了揮手,表示不在意。768Please respect copyright.PENANAMwOZK0fIZW
768Please respect copyright.PENANAx3v7QqDXgx
「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。」768Please respect copyright.PENANAqPiXffFJ8E
768Please respect copyright.PENANAUQEVeWTSgF
「候選人都是我們家的?」李晴煬皺眉,「那有什麼好選的?」768Please respect copyright.PENANADCVb3uaI52
768Please respect copyright.PENANAbgk0yyUAPb
「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。」768Please respect copyright.PENANAIgrQbGB68j
768Please respect copyright.PENANAxVdScEjsfw
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。768Please respect copyright.PENANAmm8uCxN0Cc
768Please respect copyright.PENANAdsShsp0WD1
「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。」768Please respect copyright.PENANAAn1KV0ohLD
768Please respect copyright.PENANARc6Ig6wZO2
「就是你剛才提到的『老爺』?」768Please respect copyright.PENANALWhFJOMz9L
768Please respect copyright.PENANAJUKqplsDOk
「沒錯。李門現在的領導人、現任的A區代表──李昂老爺。」768Please respect copyright.PENANAVyhd0aBhib
768Please respect copyright.PENANAntJBuy1yAv
李昂。李晴煬眨了眨眼,隱約對這名字有印象。768Please respect copyright.PENANAICJMICsHAd
768Please respect copyright.PENANArCZUavCFbL
「李昂老爺,以輩分來說,是晴煬少爺的伯父。」768Please respect copyright.PENANAdW46clGrh0
768Please respect copyright.PENANAxOZCYry58F
「伯父?」李晴煬反問:「我爸的哥哥?」768Please respect copyright.PENANA7JZtdvikOE
768Please respect copyright.PENANAUkTYRYFvVO
「沒錯。李昂老爺現年五十五歲,未婚,也沒有子嗣。」768Please respect copyright.PENANA1ROS0AFxQt
768Please respect copyright.PENANA8SSCpKTkb0
「我爸呢?他叫什麼名字?」768Please respect copyright.PENANAb3nXtf2eT0
768Please respect copyright.PENANA95J1PpZk24
「二爺名李康,他……」768Please respect copyright.PENANAisSuMcovOs
768Please respect copyright.PENANAvpk0hJGdCY
顧爾話只說一半。李晴煬覺得奇怪,追問:「怎麼?幹嘛不說話?」768Please respect copyright.PENANA4fLlLQKeGO
768Please respect copyright.PENANAqzDxdyog0x
「……少爺,您不記得了嗎?」768Please respect copyright.PENANAaxsvYEq6N8
768Please respect copyright.PENANAvc0JI5l7Fz
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。768Please respect copyright.PENANAAn9cZwk0yQ
768Please respect copyright.PENANA3UHqBzfPFu
「二爺他,十年前就過世了。」768Please respect copyright.PENANAB8nJp3gOdp
768Please respect copyright.PENANA15NEnq1FfC
「……!?」768Please respect copyright.PENANA7CHAC9gN67
768Please respect copyright.PENANARNeSwyZ9k9
聽到顧爾的話,李晴煬的眼睛張大了一圈。768Please respect copyright.PENANAv6QwRXjOXX
768Please respect copyright.PENANAz2TCC1rbOo
「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。」768Please respect copyright.PENANAaSCGTM3Ozm
768Please respect copyright.PENANAYb2qqdeUQJ
顧爾語帶落寞地告訴李晴煬:768Please respect copyright.PENANA1l1V2cTYUf
768Please respect copyright.PENANAnmbg0p7v66
「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。」768Please respect copyright.PENANAmJpBxDG397
768Please respect copyright.PENANAGG8sAAALfG
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。768Please respect copyright.PENANA8k6d3NmXfh
768Please respect copyright.PENANAnfiU2gufm0
768Please respect copyright.PENANAnp932r617k
──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。768Please respect copyright.PENANADPa5mwOJJy
768Please respect copyright.PENANA211LUU3Kdk
768Please respect copyright.PENANAe6A8vgwMik
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。768Please respect copyright.PENANAGWNDgHqlYN
768Please respect copyright.PENANA1C80nFQxch
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。768Please respect copyright.PENANA6699Q5dZxc
768Please respect copyright.PENANAmzan7q5xbh
「少爺,您還好嗎?」768Please respect copyright.PENANAc6bfmYw7Ub
768Please respect copyright.PENANAkUseABw7m4
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。」768Please respect copyright.PENANALzXA8mdRHq
768Please respect copyright.PENANAb863NaV5bY
「不,我沒事,謝謝你告訴我。」768Please respect copyright.PENANAZdNtdnQE1u
768Please respect copyright.PENANAYTFU7GzBZO
聽到李晴煬說「謝謝」,顧爾露出很震驚的表情,但只有一下下。768Please respect copyright.PENANATiDNtnT0n7
768Please respect copyright.PENANAgfKtD53OkU
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?」768Please respect copyright.PENANAESSKsHojAy
768Please respect copyright.PENANAZuulz9M9ny
「是的。以輩分來說,三爺是您的叔叔。」顧爾老實回答。768Please respect copyright.PENANAcJSVmDo8i2
768Please respect copyright.PENANAGxe8bWwNvn
「叫什麼名字?」768Please respect copyright.PENANAuGpWiYpxXt
768Please respect copyright.PENANA4juuACF2fe
「李央。」768Please respect copyright.PENANA1TD3rDgthQ
768Please respect copyright.PENANAcy60giqaF3
李晴煬愣了愣。他們家人的名字,似乎都會押韻。768Please respect copyright.PENANAYTZIXHDGag
768Please respect copyright.PENANACLjH37FGBS
「少爺和三爺的感情很好,與其說叔姪,兩位的關係更像……朋友。」768Please respect copyright.PENANAtw0sm8LOZB
768Please respect copyright.PENANAC9bZd9RzQi
說到朋友兩字,顧爾的表情有些奇怪,但只有一瞬間。768Please respect copyright.PENANADMdJPNjeOR
768Please respect copyright.PENANAlJwg6ZQCBW
「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。」768Please respect copyright.PENANAP2kba6idsY
768Please respect copyright.PENANApKQaE94Z72
「競選行程?」李晴煬聽到關鍵字。768Please respect copyright.PENANAjkQftwvKhm
768Please respect copyright.PENANAlOBvtilLq7
「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。」768Please respect copyright.PENANA1xEQUjHoBJ
768Please respect copyright.PENANAbVmECwN85P
親兄弟競爭嗎?李晴煬在心裡冷笑,大人的世界真的很無聊。768Please respect copyright.PENANATqbB06zcuC
768Please respect copyright.PENANAXE2WMiQFbi
「什麼時候選?」768Please respect copyright.PENANA9qyQC0oLnh
768Please respect copyright.PENANAG2QnOcTRFc
「明年的三月十一日。」768Please respect copyright.PENANAo64eDsIMWp
768Please respect copyright.PENANAVvkUuTXCAq
「三月?」李晴煬算了算,「三個月後?」768Please respect copyright.PENANAU9tz67FkoZ
768Please respect copyright.PENANAcStq1dwVSW
「是的,現在的選情很緊張,老爺和三爺一刻也不敢鬆懈。」768Please respect copyright.PENANAO1aIGCL2DZ
768Please respect copyright.PENANAK20tnRlo59
「……。」768Please respect copyright.PENANAH49wNt7jGC
768Please respect copyright.PENANAU655homlf6
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。768Please respect copyright.PENANADftDHmlqq8
768Please respect copyright.PENANAix46V7kRDf
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。768Please respect copyright.PENANAbfq59tUarq
768Please respect copyright.PENANAyF5PsI0loJ
「少爺,我們到了。」768Please respect copyright.PENANAkTmyF73IIy
768Please respect copyright.PENANAb7aoKZ3HCQ
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。768Please respect copyright.PENANAtaNQ6BR4rl
768Please respect copyright.PENANAZYSdTm2V9R
「歡迎回來,少爺。」768Please respect copyright.PENANA4RSj3fzkF4
768Please respect copyright.PENANA8M2H987rpf
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。768Please respect copyright.PENANAWnRFqnF7qX
768Please respect copyright.PENANAOf5zs5aOy1
768Please respect copyright.PENANA0td3RaEihf
「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。」768Please respect copyright.PENANAnSxsfadkl5
768Please respect copyright.PENANAqIquhQWZtD
768Please respect copyright.PENANAKiIpaXkygJ
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。768Please respect copyright.PENANA0QqP3OhG7p
768Please respect copyright.PENANA8uqhWZgZUs
「這裡是絕對講究時間的地方。」768Please respect copyright.PENANAjoVeIUl7i8
768Please respect copyright.PENANAKFlHU1aQ9A
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。768Please respect copyright.PENANANQ3nimiwqc
768Please respect copyright.PENANAxhKpqWn6gg
「我們的一言一舉,都被時間控制著。」
