2161年2月20日，中午十二點，教育中心C區552Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWAlZuvZknF
552Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp6VVehQS6N
552Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1s06A6GHvM
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。552Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2uxvV4aHI9
552Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaHQ8FpbttW
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。552Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpq10UKhQTI
552Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgr4su2YTO0
「啊──」552Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKzXiYvWvg7
552Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFgBORc5NBa
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。552Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN4kdufRjK3
552Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPaN9tGmTU6
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。552Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0StztDIn0z
552Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyTGJAEPoKq
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。552Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaQoaPacRx2
552Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRJI9Y0v5kv
552Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJa6RMUo2zG
「凱凱，怎麼又吃泡麵啊？」552Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp6PngZjwTt
552Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQw1g0YZQrW
552Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhRZLqoxgAz
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。552Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJYpXzuuyRR
552Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3AyQdt9DRY
「白絃！說過多少次，不要一聲不響就出現在我家！」552Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeQL5aYfOfl
552Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpxtUm432pl
說完，凱薩扔了把菜刀，被白絃輕鬆閃開。552Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6tVHg3Bje0
552Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzQIsdfd7is
「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。552Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlvaYxaLmZw
552Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVbbDE3Vl4b
「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！」552Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4T5lSXrdEq
552Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCZ1iTCp3fK
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。552Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDnxPURepxi
552Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUGwazqzhoq
「你家怎麼這麼髒啊？」552Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXNvxT2VWud
552Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcvcdFdDjVq
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。」552Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsxkxgPuj3G
552Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNAELcsCmVT
「吵死了。」552Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJsMEFvw1R9
552Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL2NFdt23XD
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。552Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNtnVURdkGS
552Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwC7F7msHwV
「艾莉絲在做什麼？」白絃突然問他。552Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN1RAqnfGde
552Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt0ds7Os6Ox
「誰知道。」凱薩說：「在夏家吧。」552Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAc2m7xhLEA
552Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIZDHrVtwhr
「她為什麼老是待在家？夏家明明無聊的要死。」552Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkZRvLibWXz
552Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI1segNCepO
「誰知道。」凱薩重複一樣的句型：「在等妳吧。」552Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkIljmbiSw9
552Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ66ScnD0oNU
「……。」552Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJCWm5yx3gE
552Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcGPw5AXawv
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。552Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7PTgn6ltb6
552Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo10uC4SFCG
「聽說妳被里奧揍得很慘。」552Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuuLmdrCEM6
552Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjBiaW84rS1
凱薩突然說。白絃有點不高興，「四年前的事了，提這幹嘛？」552Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSBUsQfimKp
552Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUzfYfsHI6g
「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？」552Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkU3CfYTIQP
552Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEBFXhqrQ78
白絃大方承認：「我現在打不贏我弟弟。」552Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgWuHogjPsu
552Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5MdZpiNYcm
「真是災難。」凱薩挑眉，「要是李仲翔回來，妳要怎麼辦？」552Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8EQzKL9TZ3
552Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMl5zRX3QSl
「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。」552Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡti57QDlxin
552Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjaK4EoJN7P
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。552Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ63qnfxbUE4
552Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnJx2J5owFs
「這是什麼？」552Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPZNWYziIMD
552Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIVY6uu7x8d
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！」552Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGNMIb0inu6
552Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEpDtn6HGio
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！」552Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡimphW2yIa4
552Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXSblroFv8k
盯著項鍊，白絃不知為何陷入沉思，凱薩講什麼都沒聽見。552Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv2PMdjP7qv
552Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTxFmvO0cDS
「喂！聽不懂人話嗎？我叫妳放下！」552Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs5C0buVn4H
552Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo40yEVofoE
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？」552Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDkKi3CeUS4
552Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBKWei8Mpg4
「啥！？」火山爆發，「當然不准！那是我花好多錢買的！！」552Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6qFB1Cksnh
552Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpin4AVoTWb
「錢的問題嗎？太好了！」552Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyeUBgukiS5
552Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcWjsRuh46t
說完，白絃拿出一大疊鈔票。552Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE42RU6ARxv
552Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRLUADaORMN
「妳哪來這麼多錢？」凱薩困惑，「妳不是無業遊民？」552Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4ACjHaFnHy
552Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi45dgVUKNo
「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。」552Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWzU6Oy4MId
552Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvCvTKPRPZs
「妳是在挖苦我親子關係惡劣嗎？」552Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCrsW2umJBK
552Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPSPQC5mWKm
「嘿，至少你還有葛蕾絲，這比什麼都重要。」552Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrfVI84Z6dV
552Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQrQeb1l3W1
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。552Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnWEGCyg52U
552Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYpsukcet13
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。552Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOEasJG0Kts
552Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1WGA2ZiYgw
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。552Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡECfgc89SUr
552Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbbcoXIyV67
「唉。」552Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaVvs0tuci5
552Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKrum6JVPIr
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？552Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1IBAlbmtCk
552Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnykJAue15t
否則，罵歸罵，凱薩卻不趕人，任白絃在家裡飄來飄去。552Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvEPONWcZa6
552Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1bjQGG9MuT
「妳聽說了嗎？里奧把她女兒送去薩拉凱爾。」552Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRS8FSJAQYi
552Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBBY7bdpefU
凱薩隨便開了話題。白絃竟然不知道，回頭問：「什麼？」552Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMimj7ebezz
552Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmRXnKW5LW6
「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？」552Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM0yF4t5yk9
552Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTAToOJ1M5P
「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。」552Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBa9oGVQPa1
552Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpsGU2kJiGY
「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。」552Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDtG7txOiVH
552Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZbBNAAFEPd
「小約翰的繼承人……」552Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7RjxObjg4h
552Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPcEpIWKct7
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。552Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPit8q1MND4
552Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8iAl8c9wnO
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。552Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2rV7pCcQYl
552Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ09yo97fpvq
「葛蕾絲也問了妳的事。」552Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5s929kBznH
552Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8ruDHrrDQ0
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。」552Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoeuHpWAXth
552Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPCYSA6Bkac
白絃瞇起眼睛，歪頭，「我為什麼要殺他？」552Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ88IBubsWH4
552Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD1gxAudzdj
「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。」552Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcLuTDZ8bb0
552Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0XT4GdFgmw
「是喔──」白絃轉了轉紫色的眼珠，「你怎麼回答？」552Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq9lpwUUFkj
552Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR9KuFJPzj5
「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。」552Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJAuFbATucu
552Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYOCrezodaq
「哦？」白絃故意又問：「我想做什麼？」552Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsV1kRvHF6e
552Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvuzmXrnxJv
「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。」552Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo4we9pt7UA
552Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmYR3ItbFnP
「……。」552Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9qdLIX6wit
552Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtQpDlKVAjs
「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？」552Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzNHyRfU197
552Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLoAlz7ULMy
凱薩說完，兩人都陷入沉默，心照不宣。552Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCoubTNdDXC
552Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjSIwTH3oCE
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。552Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡStgWRP3iL5
552Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDZaiJEu98a
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。552Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYIG8EdcTKn
552Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcO0GTIwZuS
552Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡijbJ1emjik
凱薩、夏悠、白絃、李仲翔。552Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpRbWNeQzRC
552Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8wUnsABBH7
四個絕頂聰明的人，歷史上的針鋒相對，那只是故事的一頁。552Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡejfhQwOmUP
552Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEMFLAvsw9s
他們的關係不是針鋒相對，而是惺惺相惜。552Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6kygml9p51
552Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOa5LMUTPhE
552Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXVaVoVsIWK
「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。」552Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsiwSe1WnOe
552Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvJ6b1KkGPe
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。552Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkJqAEy61bp
552Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjgmT7NJ4Q5
「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。」552Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd4p2Xiqykf
552Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnoMvYn92U9
「……嗯。」552Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEVGOPZz0oN
552Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXs4likrK2C
白絃點頭，兩手摀著臉。凱薩聽見她在哭。552Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeB7CuMoShW
552Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡydM1YU4xFG
552Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAYt4UsokTd
沒錯，白絃在哭。552Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhGFoomxFpS
552Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL14lkNl2pH
她已經很久，沒在別人面前哭了。552Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeMtvUdmwcW
552Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg1t95i1JRs
552Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNusrV4hQqB
「凱凱……」552Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzy4p9zGnA7
552Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTOokBaj7K6
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？」552Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjaCAd8qvQM
552Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7jhJFoY0PQ
「當然。」552Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSWnFFFY63E
552Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5aPHM2L6za
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。552Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFvXZTl5pex
552Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTNcrAlPayZ
「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……」552Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGb5Ebt2iwV
552Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe3GH8S0o5H
「『有社交障礙的科學怪人』。」552Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3aAWBbCSQY
552Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCKXSRgCGmA
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。552Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKk659FqZmZ
552Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHj5D6bAhFa
「真是慧眼獨到啊，那個死老頭。」552Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcFrYYive4s
552Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ8MAxfzn76
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。」552Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkto2Du5qtr
552Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSKYJv0Gjln
「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。」552Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSKhPZBD1mK
552Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡObu1riwbKo
「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。」552Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4XTTld0IxP
552Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtu1oEqW2d2
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。552Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw3OSfhmaDS
552Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2T37euxE7O
「白絃。」552Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU2s3tzzg6n
552Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9wPtMhqbZT
「嗯？」552Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1AtsqqZGc7
552Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGKDXnZ5zxR
「等事情告一段落，」凱薩表示：「我也打算走了。」552Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHSCVW5pwFi
552Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi4xk7Eseqp
「……。」552Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkex8MryXyr
552Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkJckCIdSqk
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。552Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAEMgRlsejN
552Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQAWO2Q0lku
「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。」552Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvwlCrXGugY
552Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmYuhkaDC5y
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。552Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdSi5gnb2Kd
552Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9jIjhTq8NA
「你不想見仲翔嗎？」白絃問凱薩。552Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5RmvEQdvPh
552Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhJx0HEr5ra
「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。」552Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡflTidJUfZv
552Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzo7i1DCMrO
「……這樣啊。」白絃的聲音放輕，「確實，仲翔一定也這麼想。」552Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiFtgAgYyul
552Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqdo8dBMpBV
凱薩抬頭，看著飄在空中的白絃，用久違的稱呼叫她：「小白。」552Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQrVMTW8P8o
552Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYN7VFtOubp
「……？」552Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBJeIr5U8Ke
552Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcAzm4gFOGC
「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。」552Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuO2i3HDQQP
552Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtNLYi1Kkmg
「……。」552Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAgPF1FAwiU
552Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJv7bdyeJhV
「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。」552Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQQ84gR6z8c
552Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLHguRbvOLd
「……。」552Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKGOyj95M8e
552Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEiDjTPb9T6
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。552Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUCUw8Lf9X3
552Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9k6ZxT9rch
「凱凱還是老樣子，很愛操心呢！」552Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMsAMJKadDh
552Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ86XSt6NHMV
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。552Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6KxYnUsgyC
552Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUVBHglvHVI
「我會記得的，不用擔心。」552Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3DIRSrYO4V
552Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5z9ibQj7XV
白絃恢復成平時有精神的模樣，看起來不像哭過。552Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7zaOX07Tit
552Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8nmX4ZYeTC
「你的事，要告訴葛蕾絲和尼可拉斯嗎？」552Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRECYuo6sks
552Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw9pGiig0pD
「時候到了，我會跟他們講，妳不要多嘴。」552Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxGBemGIYrW

「是是，聽你的，都聽你的。」552Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHJAEJZAR1A
552Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ45k44nNuRS
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。」552Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpVoQM8q55i
552Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZGz1CozoJ7
