2161年2月20日，中午十二點，教育中心C區558Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm7LQ1mp7wk
558Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡroYryQx2Hy
558Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJgrWGhdBqh
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。558Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwlKv5CxThs
558Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDbladiGJqd
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。558Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn7rUCXP7DR
558Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ51GBQA8kQR
「啊──」558Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFB95OFLG9m
558Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7ZBk5PNFA4
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。558Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVZTQTyIhCE
558Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrcCDLKN1Sx
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。558Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡffuTso3Jb9
558Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhZ6LLHIiYT
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。558Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCsKVqUYglC
558Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUdb8b4XRba
558Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPV2Sbx7YzY
「凱凱，怎麼又吃泡麵啊？」558Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ72KeyWbOLU
558Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4u6dBOiNkE
558Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkWRBQ5RQWB
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。558Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwHxxDY5V9z
558Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHdzLfxHl2Y
「白絃！說過多少次，不要一聲不響就出現在我家！」558Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvLcqmHy7Bk
558Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpECp8KXXSk
說完，凱薩扔了把菜刀，被白絃輕鬆閃開。558Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvwQG0guPBu
558Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvk8tKJLBvE
「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。558Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi4wXbGgZlm
558Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXHWwQP8ene
「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！」558Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYBwzIf5TI9
558Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡodOJq0Hrnq
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。558Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVa3BH8Rapa
558Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4CnJOdVWfk
「你家怎麼這麼髒啊？」558Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU6vv57Hlij
558Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvClNj2IdJV
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。」558Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvYHaVXixsG
558Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6d2Max8YBR
「吵死了。」558Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3fkmvuvfyX
558Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2a2MSc3ESj
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。558Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8Fffe9NQlL
558Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFHn9X0qkBP
「艾莉絲在做什麼？」白絃突然問他。558Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW6XfYBgpfX
558Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDEQuYhEdnX
「誰知道。」凱薩說：「在夏家吧。」558Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHStQVEww77
558Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKyxQJgNr5q
「她為什麼老是待在家？夏家明明無聊的要死。」558Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8KpjhLMYVO
558Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVOtewzNDc4
「誰知道。」凱薩重複一樣的句型：「在等妳吧。」558Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVbnPIhUlWU
558Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb9fSq8FBY2
「……。」558Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡva5ziWg9yi
558Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ73mtB8jtMs
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。558Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFLllCMCG9d
558Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6Jjglmuqb9
「聽說妳被里奧揍得很慘。」558Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhXeWos7VXr
558Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpUwSN8CRnc
凱薩突然說。白絃有點不高興，「四年前的事了，提這幹嘛？」558Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7GW5L5HzMp
558Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHoyTSKt5V4
「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？」558Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKrTLVsEW7u
558Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZTVDHbjH1i
白絃大方承認：「我現在打不贏我弟弟。」558Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZDtZPEYRPX
558Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0IkEfwWUnx
「真是災難。」凱薩挑眉，「要是李仲翔回來，妳要怎麼辦？」558Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt4LjympOl9
558Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAah6ODy84e
「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。」558Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZoyr23C5TG
558Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYzhmYoPeLT
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。558Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB1uKMPDCKh
558Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTqdcsUyHmL
「這是什麼？」558Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2qkyWBBhIV
558Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNZlOXE8ixT
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！」558Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNQEFBnYPRD
558Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9TkpheS0Tn
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！」558Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsqxrmweKsD
558Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLKAy8FsvnF
盯著項鍊，白絃不知為何陷入沉思，凱薩講什麼都沒聽見。558Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVfO3KWQhZI
558Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHM3U0T5lJS
「喂！聽不懂人話嗎？我叫妳放下！」558Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLuqbTkqq0H
558Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8ix0O1s0qe
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？」558Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrzft5B9nkB
558Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlEXlsHJKtp
「啥！？」火山爆發，「當然不准！那是我花好多錢買的！！」558Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnFXBXkqunr
558Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqAOauTBe07
「錢的問題嗎？太好了！」558Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9RRb8iYBzS
558Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcJRP1tFF9h
說完，白絃拿出一大疊鈔票。558Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ2IvcKonEq
558Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCHFIGR4AvF
「妳哪來這麼多錢？」凱薩困惑，「妳不是無業遊民？」558Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ85yBSMkwJC
558Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtT96aM3qW5
「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。」558Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN9cDwREx0Z
558Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNwAQmh2MXW
「妳是在挖苦我親子關係惡劣嗎？」558Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt6hEGQ8rOV
558Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoBDaDiyZzk
「嘿，至少你還有葛蕾絲，這比什麼都重要。」558Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡom3RnQZurP
558Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ14IjiKSAXo
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。558Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmulYRGYcpa
558Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUPyuTVJrnm
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。558Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ80Dvr9fqD9
558Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5hHboOy7gB
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。558Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW0z3kJBA16
558Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3antsmBwkn
「唉。」558Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡblgoqujSWS
558Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ65mURG9ys6
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？558Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJmNamKS3er
558Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCmVY5Q6UiD
否則，罵歸罵，凱薩卻不趕人，任白絃在家裡飄來飄去。558Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvmKtIq9XBI
558Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqiSke4dn9q
「妳聽說了嗎？里奧把她女兒送去薩拉凱爾。」558Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcHDUUb7jXB
558Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdEHhDG4n2o
凱薩隨便開了話題。白絃竟然不知道，回頭問：「什麼？」558Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8FsSvjEor8
558Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGkmnPznAID
「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？」558Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT4QYEeKkhO
558Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq0dGVkSL8x
「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。」558Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwNQLHma7UM
558Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4A96E8cNdb
「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。」558Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsDM97vH0Tr
558Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGgBB4YqRBE
「小約翰的繼承人……」558Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhkzBxko0pe
558Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu6ExvWUpMp
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。558Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgm7f6XVgWk
558Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBs5w7JZkIi
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。558Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeUu24tyUti
558Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXD0PdTtiKR
「葛蕾絲也問了妳的事。」558Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbhzl02zamB
558Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8jYiQpidXn
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。」558Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCb3nkV1x9d
558Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE7B3FFluaB
白絃瞇起眼睛，歪頭，「我為什麼要殺他？」558Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoSAhgkktH8
558Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrjTc9Ozj4z
「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。」558Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi89zNcY50f
558Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7sY8tbQ5MY
「是喔──」白絃轉了轉紫色的眼珠，「你怎麼回答？」558Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvydy1u4oSZ
558Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNz0Yc3CAdd
「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。」558Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtOh3QjlPaH
558Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE7yZbnnnxS
「哦？」白絃故意又問：「我想做什麼？」558Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ4nHYQcLuL
558Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnsDNqtldRk
「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。」558Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa8oo4YrxWH
558Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZCShNtHvNU
「……。」558Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGoCci0c3rp
558Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJPn1KhTvWm
「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？」558Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi4CY4wCOAv
558Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlTNJWdf4em
凱薩說完，兩人都陷入沉默，心照不宣。558Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRBriwOM4HM
558Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSEKsKmp299
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。558Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0p5TrPZfkT
558Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8r2EP52nuH
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。558Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiS2L2A4L4H
558Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbGr3DKmrao
558Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0SBNzjvjXq
凱薩、夏悠、白絃、李仲翔。558Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSrcYqGWKbR
558Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1O4QbZhdOy
四個絕頂聰明的人，歷史上的針鋒相對，那只是故事的一頁。558Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7Ub2OQNOrT
558Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAtXyYWVINB
他們的關係不是針鋒相對，而是惺惺相惜。558Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPs7ORmUMi7
558Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWoG9GhGwQ5
558Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD1seHiFKRO
「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。」558Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUBsTmSPmAg
558Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNX9CPm4K9A
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。558Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAjhp7SzdXy
558Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8fKfZCMf01
「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。」558Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnuMqtJAIdk
558Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV3YrCIF77f
「……嗯。」558Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQbYlHdxiIx
558Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCgIKhIaGJe
白絃點頭，兩手摀著臉。凱薩聽見她在哭。558Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡETMWorUxJ6
558Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcjWgtWTR44
558Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4Y2Ow1lKDm
沒錯，白絃在哭。558Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS0f1TfRU9Z
558Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7FDzyBrCSY
她已經很久，沒在別人面前哭了。558Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwPKndAxlOP
558Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnlRjbnTX19
558Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOnzJHajd9g
「凱凱……」558Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAm5Gp8LTtJ
558Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPWF4ANerY3
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？」558Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAfRPLPFx7L
558Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6L5Dpmggk2
「當然。」558Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB4bx85QBAC
558Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSDmEPHJEHo
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。558Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdOQEv3N0hj
558Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6yj5wz8P5B
「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……」558Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdTuvDfiZkf
558Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIu49NGdVPQ
「『有社交障礙的科學怪人』。」558Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxPJlF0VRKj
558Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjVJ38MRPj5
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。558Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkzoQF7pM8f
558Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjpHajIskk3
「真是慧眼獨到啊，那個死老頭。」558Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRD1c9D3LUn
558Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBWcVNw1sGX
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。」558Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU7JnFNWTd9
558Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsC8I61xDw7
「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。」558Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxF9UMuTvol
558Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWOj70vLcyp
「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。」558Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoVkPMRo8vm
558Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHrxwvbcaFL
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。558Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuBwofocxfN
558Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOaUzfAvtsS
「白絃。」558Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcazc1xHGjP
558Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPgGr7t7zGo
「嗯？」558Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9RCobUPmA6
558Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0UqzpikH1l
「等事情告一段落，」凱薩表示：「我也打算走了。」558Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCgHPfyu8ep
558Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDn3g4uEkHF
「……。」558Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7B0Tg32gMO
558Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9fKFPibC5Q
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。558Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡidX8013qER
558Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNdXYoRLywH
「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。」558Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡImWPPtGgEv
558Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8wsAI8D5sN
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。558Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAXPvDWfdgW
558Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3aIgxnjLac
「你不想見仲翔嗎？」白絃問凱薩。558Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPlbAwP9Axy
558Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm6HcoGNS0a
「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。」558Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW04ygZkHft
558Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡChmbPMnmSr
「……這樣啊。」白絃的聲音放輕，「確實，仲翔一定也這麼想。」558Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvL6hvPp2Bj
558Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxu6Bc82NLe
凱薩抬頭，看著飄在空中的白絃，用久違的稱呼叫她：「小白。」558Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDVYaEVJCf2
558Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ58rhxeK1KU
「……？」558Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXBLXHaIPWv
558Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr93Cekvzmt
「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。」558Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡae7zNjJwhs
558Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtbnVRqZZXT
「……。」558Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4BYekLT9BQ
558Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAiufzsGP1g
「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。」558Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4J83w7Mevl
558Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxRyebuIKuK
「……。」558Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo5iLc8hy94
558Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVHkp0ihlEz
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。558Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTuvkJNCusf
558Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ77sqLnjwPx
「凱凱還是老樣子，很愛操心呢！」558Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIdUzoiyAwb
558Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxfKx8kaXe3
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。558Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRytPNAfmIf
558Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCPwb1PDS5N
「我會記得的，不用擔心。」558Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4NUzoD21CU
558Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcGJcKX75ZW
白絃恢復成平時有精神的模樣，看起來不像哭過。558Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡufTmAoVL7G
558Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4hMIwxoYuP
「你的事，要告訴葛蕾絲和尼可拉斯嗎？」558Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwtB4AakUjg
558Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL9IhGoNR8V
「時候到了，我會跟他們講，妳不要多嘴。」558Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFr8I47FAKO
558Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUTfWGwMyAP
「是是，聽你的，都聽你的。」558Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEeQ3keI0du
558Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGNDM9ttdFb
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。」558Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXcP1AeIL2F
