2161年2月20日，中午十二點，教育中心C區506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAVUyr46svf

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。506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIhMHiEVbOg
506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxQgjVw2BHa
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。506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOLADrorJQN
506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRJ76mPVBSW
「啊──」506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKx5veFHJRu
506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5JUPKqoleG
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。506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU1IMltVX5K
506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2xo4ck35Rd
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。506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMzSYjozPlx
506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuO3fqqimGe
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。506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ22f5pzYZ0c
506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjHqkSXvdyP
506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnwQX1a2TYE
「凱凱，怎麼又吃泡麵啊？」506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkrMwe79a4W
506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsRKwLIeU6e
506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmRLJVNymnU
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。506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9BKzJh9cwZ
506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoNiPFr0tmw
「白絃！說過多少次，不要一聲不響就出現在我家！」506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ60XrnDNjtN
506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdPhb5Va552
說完，凱薩扔了把菜刀，被白絃輕鬆閃開。506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ7quWHRtUg
506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRhH0q2qz5S
「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。506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpWLJ7wGJii
506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvLJ24txEiR
「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！」506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrLAjzEn3as
506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO8ftEIqjQe
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。506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGq6ZVMdXaC
506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO5leFXeIwZ
「你家怎麼這麼髒啊？」506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbnebanIzzx
506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcME6zenaLX
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。」506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrVZt45dr7v
506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡer4BGnIt20
「吵死了。」506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3kvOTemcWu
506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUE0WXxeZ5s
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。506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqGZRMOH4uv
506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLC9419cZ0E
「艾莉絲在做什麼？」白絃突然問他。506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOs3PsZ7tqJ
506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq0dJXRVKHP
「誰知道。」凱薩說：「在夏家吧。」506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7zLcSZ7Yx8
506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuWON0TDqmb
「她為什麼老是待在家？夏家明明無聊的要死。」506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZcyKdam5p1
506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhmt33Ylk7C
「誰知道。」凱薩重複一樣的句型：「在等妳吧。」506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSeTKGBeG99
506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi1Z755fqDq
「……。」506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZpKZqOzWCj
506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt5F6snL96e
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。506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpOkusSWjaS
506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxUHiWkRG9M
「聽說妳被里奧揍得很慘。」506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkVFZYk1zgx
506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGRml7vFDuq
凱薩突然說。白絃有點不高興，「四年前的事了，提這幹嘛？」506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlG3T7bjIgu
506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSUpQOk36on
「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？」506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLfkVdVTpnZ
506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCvgljyX0AO
白絃大方承認：「我現在打不贏我弟弟。」506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRiXkl4EfxC
506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1BMeiJJZYD
「真是災難。」凱薩挑眉，「要是李仲翔回來，妳要怎麼辦？」506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2u8Lvliud9
506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpjfyeiAyZX
「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。」506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm9ohKYMzYQ
506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAIoUvTdjG1
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。506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKP8TYzF1wv
506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXjr2Yu76th
「這是什麼？」506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOWd4dXKlBr
506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgUouB0fPGw
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！」506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHmmVRaG8VV
506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPhaFeU1PrD
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！」506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg9BEaAKyMO
506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHi2vqx8zuO
盯著項鍊，白絃不知為何陷入沉思，凱薩講什麼都沒聽見。506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEfm7PqfMWQ
506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpU0nKzZmrS
「喂！聽不懂人話嗎？我叫妳放下！」506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhedqpOl7OY
506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtnJaZOqPAY
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？」506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3agAxM7tx7
506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAo6UxRxXw0
「啥！？」火山爆發，「當然不准！那是我花好多錢買的！！」506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1AtDdTLbor
506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDO8YvCiSCw
「錢的問題嗎？太好了！」506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiye4vtaqMT
506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYoNlihmFnB
說完，白絃拿出一大疊鈔票。506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP6wUrhlhlN
506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGIHBDj9eOb
「妳哪來這麼多錢？」凱薩困惑，「妳不是無業遊民？」506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMU9PkVe70W
506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXwnuSDvLIM
「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。」506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjGz3KX7djp
506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz9NIR3DaXr
「妳是在挖苦我親子關係惡劣嗎？」506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt9C2jzLTm1
506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVWKeyAepNt
「嘿，至少你還有葛蕾絲，這比什麼都重要。」506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQNsaGS9qjS
506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKC9yi0Jq3X
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。506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1hc8QwQTmH
506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzcZIKcyBes
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。506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqS42ncE8pj
506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe2aKegt2o2
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。506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQS1C9kBBmR
506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡymg0tbzopn
「唉。」506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ470doHNTp
506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4JqO9tSQXy
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？506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkcxDSo5YS4
506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5mylTACgkD
否則，罵歸罵，凱薩卻不趕人，任白絃在家裡飄來飄去。506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQe01JsCenK
506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdjmIHWDf94
「妳聽說了嗎？里奧把她女兒送去薩拉凱爾。」506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbV9hsQc2nG
506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSpMUrPzKEs
凱薩隨便開了話題。白絃竟然不知道，回頭問：「什麼？」506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAb305bZjaF
506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3CoT57c4mg
「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？」506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg9znTKjTDC
506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuWdqKpeQiZ
「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。」506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE7gSt9SWUU
506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfngMjlhZt3
「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。」506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsShfI5KI3v
506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHd0c1Rmq8E
「小約翰的繼承人……」506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB4hnbFfWnK
506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVkUgeyMgvC
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。506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4DU4wx6h72
506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiLR9XH8GI8
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。506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfhjy50g5fT
506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM6jqcwBNug
「葛蕾絲也問了妳的事。」506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBwgOnFwkoh
506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbYkgYuMvK1
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。」506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbSgBrEZ5BC
506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYgQlk6DPh9
白絃瞇起眼睛，歪頭，「我為什麼要殺他？」506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIWEFXgUBv5
506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvuRgPMDPCn
「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。」506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaWjEhbjU7U
506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQNqSAX3vGx
「是喔──」白絃轉了轉紫色的眼珠，「你怎麼回答？」506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX7otjLNbKa
506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQMu4WTm8yd
「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。」506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuTUomIyvDh
506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ5eo4ya2jh
「哦？」白絃故意又問：「我想做什麼？」506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsZPOUd7Sz4
506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2oAxKA8ucU
「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。」506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVMzCkX36Bo
506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6G0fsCyTdf
「……。」506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNOBDlXNHLt
506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYEW3pjtwxf
「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？」506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqOM5rj2HRt
506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh0IXqjZ0IZ
凱薩說完，兩人都陷入沉默，心照不宣。506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjQsURj2y4T
506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrZFS9hRYNv
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。506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB7Z9l7JhIn
506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeVk4ML5as6
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。506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQoiMJrJ0iS
506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjms0IWM2FA
506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6I0ULAPSDg
凱薩、夏悠、白絃、李仲翔。506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzEtQb62oZq
506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEYpWE06rvi
四個絕頂聰明的人，歷史上的針鋒相對，那只是故事的一頁。506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4dOoxrJx7b
506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGrBUL9pTZJ
他們的關係不是針鋒相對，而是惺惺相惜。506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5C9lKJ715r
506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2m4zup6xOo
506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTYFWjPLM5p
「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。」506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZdK6QljF6G
506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIZzofxOMxw
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。506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEngoH3Z9E5
506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1tlSjj563L
「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。」506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzsntMIJPPa
506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1w3hstbLuE
「……嗯。」506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVFpxYu52lq
506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM8Zqbct3bB
白絃點頭，兩手摀著臉。凱薩聽見她在哭。506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7PeU506kNo
506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡep0c8B36zj
506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ5jRgd5ycV
沒錯，白絃在哭。506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiJXYuOoloV
506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLyYq9P3S6P
她已經很久，沒在別人面前哭了。506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeygOWeWAta
506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPCYcIYB2qX
506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGDEnQKxdKn
「凱凱……」506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoAiI7j49YP
506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFKOV3Cp66C
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？」506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ46GW5VWZse
506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkX3oDwNi5m
「當然。」506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjFD2a5OerC
506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuKcHEwPDZl
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。506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsll9SRPaDT
506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw1gdSkCDYi
「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……」506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGuXxI8fRVr
506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmJMB404pSk
「『有社交障礙的科學怪人』。」506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHIPCJj0r4W
506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdxd3eXh0Nl
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。506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyi3NkBStE2
506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlj4zXCu0Jl
「真是慧眼獨到啊，那個死老頭。」506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsb527Gth2P
506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1XZQM1iOZB
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。」506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbke8jwjphH
506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGCwXofSoQX
「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。」506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuPpWrR5EpN
506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZLf3qmB9IA
「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。」506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfIFo1x34Gs
506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdOJsX0YBJr
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。506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpPPEnqeZYa
506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnphyz75ngE
「白絃。」506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCyK43ITvh1
506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhAMoEp4CqZ
「嗯？」506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFObiw3MQYp
506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyNqQQxRHR8
「等事情告一段落，」凱薩表示：「我也打算走了。」506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzA7DNfsmau
506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyBZWORStfB
「……。」506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWesTtcfP2P
506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR0piYKhOmM
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。506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsrQITNzaU4
506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD5YGmZpMbN
「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。」506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvoUKtfbl1L
506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPPhVrePZ8V
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。506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI92q4MQPKb
506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJpnDYb7jBv
「你不想見仲翔嗎？」白絃問凱薩。506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuywxG4ce8w
506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMu7oGcyOMI
「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。」506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeFkeygFKTB
506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIC1c4sFzCJ
「……這樣啊。」白絃的聲音放輕，「確實，仲翔一定也這麼想。」506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡprR7JgyvLy
506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9v23b42UCy
凱薩抬頭，看著飄在空中的白絃，用久違的稱呼叫她：「小白。」506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjkK5Wuwicm
506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfaX9rjtpty
「……？」506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHTlqzaidS5
506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPxyio1488p
「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。」506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0eL99czaeq
506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtw4cPYO7ZF
「……。」506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHkYjxnUCye
506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgoZYv0UuWH
「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。」506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLWD16rwpHl
506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYUXxSCNcaM
「……。」506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ80J4wJziuc
506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6Hommhy8LV
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。506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUU1ObHRtxo
506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRQVvsGs8X3
「凱凱還是老樣子，很愛操心呢！」506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTjlfm2onRA
506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3wIk8i59Ba
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。506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0clfOqcVK9
506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKM5lUgcZkP
「我會記得的，不用擔心。」506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4CGac1Xqoj
506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0F4NDswplH
白絃恢復成平時有精神的模樣，看起來不像哭過。506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr7p8MzMBcf
506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGTa4OwRd2i
「你的事，要告訴葛蕾絲和尼可拉斯嗎？」506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPSUIkym9Xs
506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFYA1sKHTak
「時候到了，我會跟他們講，妳不要多嘴。」506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJBpxPOtA7J

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyYZQih7G5K
