2161年2月20日，中午十二點，教育中心C區535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1NPPojMyh2
535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI3LChlQ89j
535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3edxfxDJWF
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。535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv5nF449w0F
535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW3HViwmynd
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。535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRjOJdfRr95
535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhg7FBpPNRp
「啊──」535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIxZpQ10bc1
535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgOQoahVXkM
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。535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyrixPgc7Od
535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg9o5RxNrDS
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。535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOHuAHLdmBr
535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHhKov0ddb8
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。535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxFeIpBuVSn
535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFRaJycn0Kt
535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU0todqV1h4
「凱凱，怎麼又吃泡麵啊？」535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtDh2SV7XzH
535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyZ2VKZwgGr
535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU5q9dqs7pn
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。535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5Mk8fJAigE
535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ69NMs0QKyx
「白絃！說過多少次，不要一聲不響就出現在我家！」535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwHiZXunUXq
535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfY3KWFMiXu
說完，凱薩扔了把菜刀，被白絃輕鬆閃開。535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1QwMCCb170
535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ60RRm10Tra
「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。535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbmAiMrEpuL
535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡES7nqS5tuZ
「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！」535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY4hCJngpr9
535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbO04BRzf8P
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。535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAUqPJnkzhX
535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbc9jkfcTCX
「你家怎麼這麼髒啊？」535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRtfsjWqYji
535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbjbMD6zStt
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。」535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIxF8prUDk3
535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0eOUAEy7bc
「吵死了。」535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK1Gr3oCdIv
535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRyPg1GBa1n
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。535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFAuK6RwDj8
535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOz7byV4Pgb
「艾莉絲在做什麼？」白絃突然問他。535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4WRaOsrLIh
535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡefGBCKnUXj
「誰知道。」凱薩說：「在夏家吧。」535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf2kfQGgBFv
535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpGiXXH5mfV
「她為什麼老是待在家？夏家明明無聊的要死。」535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5sNvPLAIWO
535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdJPa313YnU
「誰知道。」凱薩重複一樣的句型：「在等妳吧。」535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ61q677vaiB
535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0FVrTREDtX
「……。」535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSYpS3OSXAt
535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS5hk3nyXKZ
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。535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2IKd1yqILu
535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfruyZLTMIq
「聽說妳被里奧揍得很慘。」535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmHajV1KsGI
535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNKqFX6YUWX
凱薩突然說。白絃有點不高興，「四年前的事了，提這幹嘛？」535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDx3HgNHUKR
535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKdTSZlmyhp
「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？」535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3IW0fubypV
535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsXSh7DWaGL
白絃大方承認：「我現在打不贏我弟弟。」535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL5yavhVf8S
535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlOscoQc5HO
「真是災難。」凱薩挑眉，「要是李仲翔回來，妳要怎麼辦？」535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGhnwpCYlFx
535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1KM9l4a7Pn
「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。」535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqbXg8CweBq
535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYsUP6CeZWz
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。535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJxAOq4BtKz
535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8bKIZGShTA
「這是什麼？」535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp1GcK283QP
535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡna0Vsr06xF
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！」535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhKclvH0FjU
535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxrZivxMGcU
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！」535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPLikujWDZu
535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqAL12GicdE
盯著項鍊，白絃不知為何陷入沉思，凱薩講什麼都沒聽見。535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTQGBWuu12V
535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHEIwgUfVfn
「喂！聽不懂人話嗎？我叫妳放下！」535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEtYs30cCFA
535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡITCniMhj7L
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？」535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsICDlnUFYc
535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFXIpw6P7Od
「啥！？」火山爆發，「當然不准！那是我花好多錢買的！！」535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSGbpuau6n2
535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkqRXtWBKGQ
「錢的問題嗎？太好了！」535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBUzB1b7ZuJ
535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4tSG7xGgOo
說完，白絃拿出一大疊鈔票。535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtl0ZpKgoBA
535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdjqsVmmHaq
「妳哪來這麼多錢？」凱薩困惑，「妳不是無業遊民？」535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4T17ByAewo
535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIyQamSAxTu
「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。」535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs4peF4x6HT
535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdmrEkcNaDV
「妳是在挖苦我親子關係惡劣嗎？」535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIS5kRop8q6
535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv9MHazV2YW
「嘿，至少你還有葛蕾絲，這比什麼都重要。」535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSrdPqogCYQ
535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBUPnhBPnSO
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。535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWHkEEjgIDy
535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9YD5oSP3Mg
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。535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡddesCsnAR5
535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd5sQLxPXJK
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。535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2g6KFgdnwd
535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMRucwImz8H
「唉。」535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2D8sCS1quC
535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQLFGXPSIUp
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？535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX0xuVz380K
535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡokHwW6TCND
否則，罵歸罵，凱薩卻不趕人，任白絃在家裡飄來飄去。535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3BuMIub2eE
535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtRWkRCYjc4
「妳聽說了嗎？里奧把她女兒送去薩拉凱爾。」535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIOsJljK059
535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIamUqDbOVT
凱薩隨便開了話題。白絃竟然不知道，回頭問：「什麼？」535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqB7jAJXZRO
535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhbNJplDXW4
「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？」535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs2YfVmifxB
535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRYd4m6ln30
「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。」535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMF18SJEdkR
535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIuv0WZljTE
「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。」535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOOslDC1o74
535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9nlC01v86n
「小約翰的繼承人……」535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe98EIsYWBV
535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMZE83bu2kB
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。535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6VLUyA7AX8
535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ75sbcpa5D1
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。535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdQG9H1X54F
535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAfHM5GDLKy
「葛蕾絲也問了妳的事。」535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTF3tm6x1Mz
535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8UXC8AxSF6
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。」535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeroxi4wDCy
535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE8dbrmRYkE
白絃瞇起眼睛，歪頭，「我為什麼要殺他？」535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIpZ0efIa8m
535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeuAg14rfdl
「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。」535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJGxbRt4Whd
535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHfcxMHdu2o
「是喔──」白絃轉了轉紫色的眼珠，「你怎麼回答？」535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUmBtopRpw2
535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDatLdNc4h7
「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。」535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw72JR61Bgo
535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkEEl3dNTCO
「哦？」白絃故意又問：「我想做什麼？」535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡER4eLtPot9
535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVbR90FRjmk
「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。」535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWJbuMw7iK9
535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjf1LBxW12p
「……。」535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAL8lPraINB
535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF1u9f2BtZZ
「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？」535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJnntgJARko
535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVOwotDEKDj
凱薩說完，兩人都陷入沉默，心照不宣。535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVwee0PYcXJ
535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtgsR2R8i1b
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。535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1ZZBFY3DbR
535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxRVM3MJZUh
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。535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLVwoKToShu
535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡedgobIMgw9
535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg1NKLp0si0
凱薩、夏悠、白絃、李仲翔。535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6gj8Qu3KlL
535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLEmOjoFSgT
四個絕頂聰明的人，歷史上的針鋒相對，那只是故事的一頁。535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsnUbATUxHb
535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwoXSVinZjl
他們的關係不是針鋒相對，而是惺惺相惜。535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD9fN2PMZd2
535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnvpItmN0Ug
535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡswYKm4DON2
「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。」535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu0UvrZvkW9
535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9NHCxjplOB
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。535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM7I2BV0MtA
535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0J8z071IoK
「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。」535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDCBrUP3wlx
535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1YKeIzu5Wf
「……嗯。」535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn2HxHDw4jL
535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl5Py8QdJF2
白絃點頭，兩手摀著臉。凱薩聽見她在哭。535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4nRTnd6JwX
535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡibIIcMvR3N
535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNI04ujVGCl
沒錯，白絃在哭。535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ61my0TNdqN
535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡroOdJQR2ia
她已經很久，沒在別人面前哭了。535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡogAUtyuFHI
535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpmVN68cfqJ
535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡViLOB2dpjN
「凱凱……」535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7e296awEtv
535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZqoUHfrMpd
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？」535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlp4U7RJPCl
535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ38ONtJZwzm
「當然。」535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC4sP8Aucey
535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXY5aOmS676
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。535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXWxriEM2OT
535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWSYGyCG0Ll
「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……」535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOKnyH0BqV2
535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyksZIWCWwH
「『有社交障礙的科學怪人』。」535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCE6Ih67hGW
535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOVVZVZyZWk
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。535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQdKlkxJ4CT
535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ35BGJVSi0l
「真是慧眼獨到啊，那個死老頭。」535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzUwzCqNOna
535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiI4LkUEaBG
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。」535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIJ2Z4TF8uF
535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8cnRKyMHW5
「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。」535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHj1309rESt
535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡErIE2Sxia8
「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。」535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNGxfOcCrkR
535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbYFVlsPP6K
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。535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwLLkZ7ap2J
535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRdklAnZX9p
「白絃。」535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ30nKZu11IF
535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0w3IUPbjyZ
「嗯？」535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbB7ZREYmMF
535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRochQy96O3
「等事情告一段落，」凱薩表示：「我也打算走了。」535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6jeJtzMglf
535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9oabUTquLw
「……。」535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJlTYH7DyR7
535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCejt0yMsds
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。535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBcjOOkKUci
535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaIkNdcbpGZ
「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。」535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡByDYDPsLyR
535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvulmETNkaD
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。535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCLP0gV1M50
535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8l7sr8F8N5
「你不想見仲翔嗎？」白絃問凱薩。535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ65ZMXLTJq8
535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgYOMx3gwFr
「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。」535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0zX2VeXBk7
535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbnKf6Nc9xm
「……這樣啊。」白絃的聲音放輕，「確實，仲翔一定也這麼想。」535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZKiBgRiWem
535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHBmvsm0eza
凱薩抬頭，看著飄在空中的白絃，用久違的稱呼叫她：「小白。」535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9WwqzUsa0Z
535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbrLuSdGCkj
「……？」535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKtZ22FFjNn
535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCPNLs79ihn
「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。」535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuFpQaNgDQ0
535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcTo8O4u4bB
「……。」535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuLPbGibgaG
535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtUpYZD5PCY
「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。」535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvf6Rgd2foo
535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡckO7UnA0cR
「……。」535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBHobj9aVdJ
535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJMCBcP1hN4
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。535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3cb8rIvj7X
535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPIQsQYR68g
「凱凱還是老樣子，很愛操心呢！」535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsDbiPEi2nA
535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn2Ft4cCNai
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。535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBN7GfuvTJH
535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlHpqcogayp
「我會記得的，不用擔心。」535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡctY9mWl9dQ
535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9Zm4HzSyyo
白絃恢復成平時有精神的模樣，看起來不像哭過。535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeRD6dsFjli
535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjg6zxZ26VW
「你的事，要告訴葛蕾絲和尼可拉斯嗎？」535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3b7fxhKgbj
535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqFGplLXXdV
「時候到了，我會跟他們講，妳不要多嘴。」535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHwusMbUYkD

「是是，聽你的，都聽你的。」535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡroRmWDl2t4
535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡix5mgUyK9k
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。」535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3dpFHTbFrw
