2161年2月20日，中午十二點，教育中心C區557Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSXbdiuyDDW
557Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1mx2Ce1KdJ
557Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEkpkdkxssG
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。557Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAxgZO7OHc4
557Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcik3KN01rV
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。557Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTqO9vqzkQL
557Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5KIsGS65pW
「啊──」557Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTRNKTYSQTK
557Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2L08sYeliq
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。557Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt7CFbxepVM
557Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd14mG9TlUK
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。557Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCHPv5RtW3J
557Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcUgT902Kgz
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。557Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBLN2IJkLkh
557Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxd7Uo7qH7k
557Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPz02g5MkBZ
「凱凱，怎麼又吃泡麵啊？」557Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtnfJ7LsNsd
557Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOvZGMCSdzn
557Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjVsMKl8VVo
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。557Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI2MZzpTVUV
557Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbs0uStLLOr
「白絃！說過多少次，不要一聲不響就出現在我家！」557Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG6C8qheoBQ
557Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXP128MxplW
說完，凱薩扔了把菜刀，被白絃輕鬆閃開。557Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc4UL9nRH59
557Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw1iinwamzf
「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。557Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHx5euQFYsN
557Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrrHBAoE2yb
「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！」557Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXGQ4TPYbuJ
557Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW7C2jPEgwK
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。557Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgkqPgYBKaA
557Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡptU3hdCtYc
「你家怎麼這麼髒啊？」557Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCQTFF6uWjn
557Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡin1JMhoYlv
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。」557Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbMG1IdDzZ5
557Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk7e7cU7lMP
「吵死了。」557Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUxcR3qUGVY
557Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVqiAuUADkB
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。557Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgOWVNPXh1b
557Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9jqt2Q9ZT0
「艾莉絲在做什麼？」白絃突然問他。557Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8cYd5SCR3I
557Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnrkielgW6p
「誰知道。」凱薩說：「在夏家吧。」557Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH7PwMi4MMn
557Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHrtimxSWm6
「她為什麼老是待在家？夏家明明無聊的要死。」557Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwG6oLM1uQ5
557Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx7Mx4YDF6h
「誰知道。」凱薩重複一樣的句型：「在等妳吧。」557Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3VGYeBxdOE
557Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUn14IlkPNR
「……。」557Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6AU6gjNh6h
557Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYoAh7zkKQi
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。557Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi32DH5eF22
557Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGTHtoahhoq
「聽說妳被里奧揍得很慘。」557Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlQ7s1pQb3o
557Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIEIH8SHk2F
凱薩突然說。白絃有點不高興，「四年前的事了，提這幹嘛？」557Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3ShwBFXnLs
557Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYoUi6khkoN
「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？」557Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLVsSyaOO2b
557Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQFyje4Z2LF
白絃大方承認：「我現在打不贏我弟弟。」557Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFj7ckcqt1a
557Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0RG0pGmMBJ
「真是災難。」凱薩挑眉，「要是李仲翔回來，妳要怎麼辦？」557Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFmnJpJy3uO
557Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfU09FxfYYR
「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。」557Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrrYiNFelDD
557Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4vgXn8Gx9r
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。557Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbHCiHsoEvC
557Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKOmwO6rC6o
「這是什麼？」557Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡboByyNEcws
557Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmoaleIu70M
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！」557Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK9TJ0Awr7u
557Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkBC9m9KYFP
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！」557Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtkxD8NYVYS
557Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSXO9bmQUB6
盯著項鍊，白絃不知為何陷入沉思，凱薩講什麼都沒聽見。557Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxCDKEFT5Tw
557Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGoPHdwtWYt
「喂！聽不懂人話嗎？我叫妳放下！」557Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpliNFirM8f
557Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRcc73N5du3
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？」557Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7E50loknXt
557Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgMREPBFTla
「啥！？」火山爆發，「當然不准！那是我花好多錢買的！！」557Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmd9mB4p82Y
557Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIRy3Q0wM7c
「錢的問題嗎？太好了！」557Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFCzXsWlpMe
557Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkWYyTjXzcO
說完，白絃拿出一大疊鈔票。557Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJbEfHIIzDW
557Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpeMJAdezpW
「妳哪來這麼多錢？」凱薩困惑，「妳不是無業遊民？」557Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrcGMZybPCa
557Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdITT3xgP3Q
「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。」557Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmkGCW5lllG
557Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO907mYedgy
「妳是在挖苦我親子關係惡劣嗎？」557Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdJPLuke6Lf
557Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSjfUiczOmu
「嘿，至少你還有葛蕾絲，這比什麼都重要。」557Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6e0Az9N3Ty
557Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡirIA5dfbjW
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。557Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQE3C7XmGll
557Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgmLc12UlAD
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。557Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnRjIJa5RJW
557Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu45paXws2N
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。557Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8ZGVDZM6wG
557Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMRIoTJPXN9
「唉。」557Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAOFI7QWwcM
557Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv0BLEkMVZd
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？557Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMo6BuzASP1
557Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXPSkGhDuQJ
否則，罵歸罵，凱薩卻不趕人，任白絃在家裡飄來飄去。557Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡChiOnakx4q
557Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzVO3JntA1P
「妳聽說了嗎？里奧把她女兒送去薩拉凱爾。」557Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGBgg4P7nUG
557Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqGmbWG5B70
凱薩隨便開了話題。白絃竟然不知道，回頭問：「什麼？」557Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGMKSy6qMV7
557Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOad19K2Oav
「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？」557Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5k1u998mv0
557Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡda1owwct8M
「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。」557Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJq5KQv48W9
557Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGEccDvHAA4
「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。」557Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1LqTdV2MgK
557Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDDskdyJtD8
「小約翰的繼承人……」557Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD86jbbwOUa
557Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLW3H0JKCC7
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。557Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0SbizfBadW
557Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlggGwdDKvj
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。557Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ91PqPZoolZ
557Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSO3QSCyIeZ
「葛蕾絲也問了妳的事。」557Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDa2Xy761rd
557Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvbtFThOAEh
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。」557Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2QQidagicD
557Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqi3brIOHml
白絃瞇起眼睛，歪頭，「我為什麼要殺他？」557Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkbLcD5rw9m
557Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAm1VIbTwwl
「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。」557Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8MNyjaRTLQ
557Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgO7TlRbwGw
「是喔──」白絃轉了轉紫色的眼珠，「你怎麼回答？」557Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI4dtY5vBk0
557Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXWF2NtBtSa
「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。」557Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlYUmoYuHkq
557Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnsUjcDnSlZ
「哦？」白絃故意又問：「我想做什麼？」557Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQR2eNbUFor
557Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx2mAvroWjl
「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。」557Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDK2qr74HRe
557Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWEMoTXlopK
「……。」557Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgPONRIfApv
557Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNLyMi7SlSR
「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？」557Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNYGKK773mZ
557Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIhVWsey91g
凱薩說完，兩人都陷入沉默，心照不宣。557Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZYghao2ryH
557Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMkOlvPofYN
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。557Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuQS1SXqUTa
557Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡITYKB5uanS
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。557Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSDX3okDqz4
557Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXzjK5AZRq4
557Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7rjhsyRIdR
凱薩、夏悠、白絃、李仲翔。557Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ92UdYTMjON
557Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVeLjilqHAZ
四個絕頂聰明的人，歷史上的針鋒相對，那只是故事的一頁。557Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡalbbQggERd
557Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKOOBElcGKq
他們的關係不是針鋒相對，而是惺惺相惜。557Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe3Dyx8Botx
557Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXu3J1XH8Dk
557Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡShqQS7a909
「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。」557Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtzT4wEkSBm
557Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡii3e2IZNZL
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。557Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9nfgeGPfCs
557Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR34Xg64yOU
「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。」557Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMsqmcTLwqX
557Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡInrNsfLWe8
「……嗯。」557Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGUTLADcfIh
557Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3shrlPWCC2
白絃點頭，兩手摀著臉。凱薩聽見她在哭。557Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLoZSp9z92Q
557Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGQm8QR0DpI
557Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx0o3oxsfkP
沒錯，白絃在哭。557Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvJzYLpAYBb
557Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz0J6DY2yLQ
她已經很久，沒在別人面前哭了。557Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzoXbvXlhFS
557Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWa8rH9hDOD
557Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNUbHviZaBX
「凱凱……」557Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTuR6xpWky1
557Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTeog1JpiQb
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？」557Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOkEVqkxsqa
557Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnBJcVo02Qe
「當然。」557Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9MU9VR6LOv
557Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCtsBcmXV9I
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。557Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5cG3AphQR5
557Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLTyrA5DJVf
「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……」557Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQqvScRmtUd
557Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI346uClAl3
「『有社交障礙的科學怪人』。」557Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAHD359tMet
557Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1W1ycILDW1
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。557Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlvG2r7fyST
557Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtRq8HHsRSH
「真是慧眼獨到啊，那個死老頭。」557Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlm8mK4k2dd
557Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzRWQ2Yr1tL
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。」557Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFdDNR9ZhZq
557Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8et4UVc4Jv
「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。」557Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF4Eg9UXlMz
557Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhfUQ1LNMTw
「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。」557Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIehkHkqDbq
557Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA8KBzrnJRG
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。557Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkumkpRna2t
557Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsRNo9EUv2w
「白絃。」557Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3y2zJIS8ZM
557Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkWMTKee7Yu
「嗯？」557Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2V0JGPse1R
557Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzXmcc81z8H
「等事情告一段落，」凱薩表示：「我也打算走了。」557Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhjpdD8ssZe
557Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnTH05TVjU0
「……。」557Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡek83JfjYCU
557Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0pRvp7Hyyz
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。557Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8nA9ID53Ih
557Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcglfjs1lHW
「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。」557Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxLxwQRfVJY
557Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw7n9WypRGb
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。557Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ11zJ8cwHmn
557Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmexNGhi6Td
「你不想見仲翔嗎？」白絃問凱薩。557Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJp1th5C2Jg
557Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe2Oe7UUQF7
「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。」557Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4F81rfqLQp
557Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdxSgUqIgfD
「……這樣啊。」白絃的聲音放輕，「確實，仲翔一定也這麼想。」557Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeGjyYBuEot
557Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKVmAJQMiNh
凱薩抬頭，看著飄在空中的白絃，用久違的稱呼叫她：「小白。」557Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ84AfaR54Ed
557Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcGE5Y1w67E
「……？」557Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ30GyoE5VnO
557Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmPk5A0UtrX
「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。」557Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0fbOUa5acd
557Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWSXmjG9UVA
「……。」557Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz1CMsnDiQJ
557Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBCYfJJcxRl
「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。」557Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpDMHlZhTg5
557Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY3zDaF3sm6
「……。」557Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqFvTJzO7SL
557Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPEajYbkX9v
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。557Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvBHv9cPFnz
557Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPsUZygXvbr
「凱凱還是老樣子，很愛操心呢！」557Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwCf2YUjZkh
557Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9RY3dMGOA3
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。557Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDQjyOICQ8R
557Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOJCHy182TJ
「我會記得的，不用擔心。」557Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRaGu5M24fO
557Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsbdq4ysF3V
白絃恢復成平時有精神的模樣，看起來不像哭過。557Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXND2Bhmbdj
557Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCFHf28mWWG
「你的事，要告訴葛蕾絲和尼可拉斯嗎？」557Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSoIgy8QhbG
557Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDyuXt6NAzu
「時候到了，我會跟他們講，妳不要多嘴。」557Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ63p4rhGsnD

「是是，聽你的，都聽你的。」557Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWkZVeL34tg
557Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2cg5ODN4Bv
