2161年2月20日，中午十二點，教育中心C區536Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJPM6gIa4VW
536Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZNR0ut4YLg
536Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfZmZtKNg6l
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。536Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX5wDfdjBUm
536Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZrrt8cpl3d
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。536Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEJP2NQjYYk
536Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhflHENom7L
「啊──」536Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9WxwEEbYq3
536Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV0XlYmKE2v
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。536Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9MCEQsKaiu
536Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIzyfnvAwDr
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。536Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcFveWUImz9
536Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7Wfw9Zaw1n
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。536Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsRJspvlRhE
536Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhUIgaw7hwn
536Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB1pVy7yE0n
「凱凱，怎麼又吃泡麵啊？」536Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaem4jcHXPw
536Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCjnKmjpLQj
536Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0bLKsb5c16
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。536Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPRIYnipkXd
536Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYhiTRwa9ET
「白絃！說過多少次，不要一聲不響就出現在我家！」536Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUPR58TNxGL
536Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZqMU4AIvz5
說完，凱薩扔了把菜刀，被白絃輕鬆閃開。536Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡufm8ypnmoV
536Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6iN8arn181
「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。536Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1sihnjZxBR
536Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqNqlpU9qBC
「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！」536Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGysd0gdCxl
536Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqIIVIW7WfA
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。536Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAoScXnzboS
536Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3qULvHAAmS
「你家怎麼這麼髒啊？」536Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXnRAWDms1P
536Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXBcLMk8CJc
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。」536Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4WH4wdWZLc
536Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVf6ytmoMLG
「吵死了。」536Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYQBkmi0VEr
536Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtVbZa03BvQ
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。536Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCsssG1GBDm
536Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0GBGwp9VOi
「艾莉絲在做什麼？」白絃突然問他。536Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGm3VSpYO7I
536Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzhNRCUGqcm
「誰知道。」凱薩說：「在夏家吧。」536Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfGegLzxLbC
536Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDHBjMz7g73
「她為什麼老是待在家？夏家明明無聊的要死。」536Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKa8F76qxkC
536Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8bFVFpfj8j
「誰知道。」凱薩重複一樣的句型：「在等妳吧。」536Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgIhR6hg5s6
536Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5fpsnQed0i
「……。」536Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpVuhwF1L1u
536Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2mPWHAJNZr
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。536Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfmV3UrtaVM
536Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsCQPPZ1IXJ
「聽說妳被里奧揍得很慘。」536Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWJ2LyBXsgb
536Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjbHJiFyGVH
凱薩突然說。白絃有點不高興，「四年前的事了，提這幹嘛？」536Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpv4C6Gsukn
536Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyafDq2GITo
「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？」536Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfoNYYRbJVp
536Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdiFLCxAgdQ
白絃大方承認：「我現在打不贏我弟弟。」536Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcMdEMx1flA
536Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5PDsbXaV47
「真是災難。」凱薩挑眉，「要是李仲翔回來，妳要怎麼辦？」536Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZyGMibdNFw
536Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡduTKMvzTOY
「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。」536Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKrFoHUYOBt
536Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHiTsKAgNUu
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。536Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOmADf1VBMk
536Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQRSy3Rmoio
「這是什麼？」536Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk6dR70d8qs
536Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4B7kKeDNZ4
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！」536Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3n6odqwMj4
536Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMu3COvjphY
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！」536Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ74vzRaD5ET
536Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHBabLyWxQ4
盯著項鍊，白絃不知為何陷入沉思，凱薩講什麼都沒聽見。536Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQsOsPndxeI
536Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMOVyvVyIv6
「喂！聽不懂人話嗎？我叫妳放下！」536Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡudgcVRAOQd
536Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6Z35b4Mwm7
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？」536Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRWV0EUh3Vm
536Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4WaNvUzibW
「啥！？」火山爆發，「當然不准！那是我花好多錢買的！！」536Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFptE9ocMwI
536Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb1bAkbTcom
「錢的問題嗎？太好了！」536Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8l5vhUPT1M
536Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNmTBEgjp5G
說完，白絃拿出一大疊鈔票。536Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlEJ1E5V8Jb
536Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTAXvCJkBsj
「妳哪來這麼多錢？」凱薩困惑，「妳不是無業遊民？」536Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgxlkOk6RTJ
536Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbrr4mpth3H
「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。」536Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡztqb47HcUn
536Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPlJgMblBAY
「妳是在挖苦我親子關係惡劣嗎？」536Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpD5voo4pUj
536Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5oNJojZiL7
「嘿，至少你還有葛蕾絲，這比什麼都重要。」536Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlCP1ctKb5U
536Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvlycHNO3Ig
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。536Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDSkixyVkyi
536Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVQ87XlSQKe
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。536Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbeZIlAuGNH
536Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH0SyjdExaq
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。536Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzPh4tZtLge
536Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtkpQe0HPit
「唉。」536Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrFoM1Pq8St
536Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡok9l80Ov5a
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？536Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeAARXgMyF3
536Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlSArZsPqQG
否則，罵歸罵，凱薩卻不趕人，任白絃在家裡飄來飄去。536Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRDdLtpAnJa
536Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjtRbSEPTou
「妳聽說了嗎？里奧把她女兒送去薩拉凱爾。」536Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnALDxCdBUp
536Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyF99aa6ADU
凱薩隨便開了話題。白絃竟然不知道，回頭問：「什麼？」536Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEAhJ8NJJMZ
536Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeDBPdSVIfh
「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？」536Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf4nAKK16ko
536Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9iDYiGF1eB
「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。」536Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW9VPwc9tex
536Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzkTjyaFXXg
「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。」536Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbXyUIlGzFn
536Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSM6UYm3ib4
「小約翰的繼承人……」536Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGwdee1B3HY
536Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM3NavtSHts
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。536Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHUuMKwlGuL
536Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk1vmlkpeG6
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。536Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnRSV5L8VYK
536Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxB1GDMyXwT
「葛蕾絲也問了妳的事。」536Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnuCj3vHyoy
536Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwoBpOZXw6e
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。」536Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡckok5W7SO7
536Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2vQEThUNlK
白絃瞇起眼睛，歪頭，「我為什麼要殺他？」536Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIhzzCSV0nl
536Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnytygDFxzy
「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。」536Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKLgmyUMsAz
536Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ28ZOtcw9SI
「是喔──」白絃轉了轉紫色的眼珠，「你怎麼回答？」536Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡltKNVxTZXE
536Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2aHCUPhRGd
「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。」536Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ0ZECnLqUL
536Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwTymZpiare
「哦？」白絃故意又問：「我想做什麼？」536Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQLcijo6FKs
536Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ61DXn3SV18
「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。」536Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqPG3VihPo8
536Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFiGi1Tf7PY
「……。」536Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDaIezuSZHq
536Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWYoAzKDvtB
「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？」536Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5srzDwwS0S
536Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjY9RzTJyxD
凱薩說完，兩人都陷入沉默，心照不宣。536Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy6w8heFBQh
536Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ648Q7o30X
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。536Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsBxpaeGqLl
536Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmwS3fFusLC
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。536Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡezhSEiSssx
536Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9uhSJvbmtB
536Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ795rVqeMup
凱薩、夏悠、白絃、李仲翔。536Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYaS54XepjT
536Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGqA8TPJD1J
四個絕頂聰明的人，歷史上的針鋒相對，那只是故事的一頁。536Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBZiekJSV66
536Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6H407tL65m
他們的關係不是針鋒相對，而是惺惺相惜。536Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoj4rMpXxtN
536Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjfBt2RGplO
536Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpD3aSPxAAM
「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。」536Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjAZdaaky4h
536Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDCpgzOzVES
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。536Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQhe9a4aVwX
536Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZnHLTYnf88
「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。」536Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMrJtYvTZlF
536Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGWchMDRd0A
「……嗯。」536Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡew3MXBQFD7
536Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZL54KodPVj
白絃點頭，兩手摀著臉。凱薩聽見她在哭。536Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsdcK6Osu6n
536Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQUvS8I4BsZ
536Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHuVYrttXui
沒錯，白絃在哭。536Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcWSzPDyKVI
536Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP1hkkJsmZt
她已經很久，沒在別人面前哭了。536Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjCoCJqhhpq
536Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPqe7whZnp2
536Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOvq282hx4R
「凱凱……」536Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡryEQiZsfqH
536Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡndwGIDgyrO
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？」536Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYK13MsIUCA
536Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdgzoPq7pef
「當然。」536Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ09wZJUrwBW
536Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzr9PcM9cKx
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。536Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo9XcdJTmkG
536Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ39VPITJ5zU
「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……」536Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQFUYWNSzGS
536Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWEsDMgAZQ5
「『有社交障礙的科學怪人』。」536Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0Owr59pQsX
536Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSKFbjd3IIT
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。536Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd4YWyxH8bg
536Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXfLTV7UENg
「真是慧眼獨到啊，那個死老頭。」536Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtcmBRvPzPA
536Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSnj9sfTbK0
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。」536Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlLh2owwwTo
536Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU8wUQy7PYm
「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。」536Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIjkKQi7DSt
536Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡClFTMHhLCa
「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。」536Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfgG2pM7yMm
536Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDyI2Wfcl2D
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。536Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCsgWXAvziT
536Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmSfLlQf99B
「白絃。」536Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVpQ9MAxdf3
536Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoBLo0m8A2Q
「嗯？」536Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM5KNJaZqgU
536Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgqhygLaEIQ
「等事情告一段落，」凱薩表示：「我也打算走了。」536Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHaDGu1eSxd
536Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzbA0xYTczy
「……。」536Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuy38ggCbTR
536Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdItd1Xl8Fi
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。536Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7gqNdilWNa
536Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYMnzZDQfcu
「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。」536Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmLnneTzzhk
536Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaj1x3ZnLgs
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。536Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTd8ULwWUMT
536Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFzn7k2ZLQH
「你不想見仲翔嗎？」白絃問凱薩。536Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuRDYFVR33W
536Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡttTT7bZK1r
「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。」536Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsXro3ydj03
536Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTouiykwipg
「……這樣啊。」白絃的聲音放輕，「確實，仲翔一定也這麼想。」536Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwAGyqlb0FM
536Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKZMJI89Ehc
凱薩抬頭，看著飄在空中的白絃，用久違的稱呼叫她：「小白。」536Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡArmlz6L9RE
536Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjojOGJNtPS
「……？」536Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwuxCuimUM6
536Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl6sgxjkW3e
「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。」536Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJT97IK9Gj4
536Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC8a4Wu4EjB
「……。」536Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9meuiJAVgM
536Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2IujPJqs8f
「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。」536Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2bzl1bpk5T
536Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyOVsxPoksr
「……。」536Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYdyS5zUvYy
536Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9rNDNpo4dA
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。536Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIg3J1H1zNg
536Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFI4K2LzYSd
「凱凱還是老樣子，很愛操心呢！」536Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ48VT9OXmaL
536Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiPmLymVeAI
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。536Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeGizU5exrt
536Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlopKCHDdDX
「我會記得的，不用擔心。」536Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrRezk3sS0c
536Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1SP2fT7CFO
白絃恢復成平時有精神的模樣，看起來不像哭過。536Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQA76xcDVHA
536Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2FCw4lOvwk
「你的事，要告訴葛蕾絲和尼可拉斯嗎？」536Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡilsaHNtrKS

536Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡROPINmK0ig
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。」536Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡixyzMhRfBH
536Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGdzJCYwyQ4
