2161年2月20日，中午十二點，教育中心C區476Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqKR7yq9D12
476Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUwUO2Js052
476Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJxtPSnvNyE
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。476Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡioJ4I0KHAD
476Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG4WmRjT4Mv
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。476Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJKkppKWfFD
476Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhhNHgGK2Qd
「啊──」476Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHXVS6bv3rG
476Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA0eSBmHA9E
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。476Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOGEH3vCpGG
476Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzx3k7iXZ0E
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。476Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdUUi7AjCT3
476Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPgXpn5VyKR
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。476Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY9REflYnVm
476Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJhUpkcvvUD
476Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhUBQENwqku
「凱凱，怎麼又吃泡麵啊？」476Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrpy74Dxgau
476Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx1Q3WQm4nP
476Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ1XwgpzloB
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。476Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLbvMRSBb5O
476Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqJxDILFXoY
「白絃！說過多少次，不要一聲不響就出現在我家！」476Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5HJct4BXdP
476Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh0xLoLL0VM
說完，凱薩扔了把菜刀，被白絃輕鬆閃開。476Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0e2KQWMokj
476Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtoC9BOV8Gc
「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。476Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ89FrEvjLI0
476Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzJS4AtYkp9
「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！」476Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUpRG26RIxc
476Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDtI0SCCeS6
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。476Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpwfS4PFJ00
476Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhxklAKyxtB
「你家怎麼這麼髒啊？」476Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfUC9Iz3HBT
476Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIpEj1s0S9T
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。」476Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6FeWMXfAcn
476Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlByn820ixr
「吵死了。」476Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFwEvO1FOqh
476Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3HdHzygLLn
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。476Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKSuCM9xtMs
476Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVGe6Xlj060
「艾莉絲在做什麼？」白絃突然問他。476Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDVF3p2InTW
476Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMyC2Szvq9L
「誰知道。」凱薩說：「在夏家吧。」476Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTTUdt6QBrK
476Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0fgiIk97nq
「她為什麼老是待在家？夏家明明無聊的要死。」476Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT67xKpaCUV
476Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsxBPfJSyrS
「誰知道。」凱薩重複一樣的句型：「在等妳吧。」476Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp1jkTMIAPQ
476Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeGJzJ5PYAw
「……。」476Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIFvrZgyWk5
476Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU5DeWbfWrj
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。476Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwjbb62B1pH
476Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSHy9WtxFlu
「聽說妳被里奧揍得很慘。」476Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr90ecXa8Zw
476Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhkHDeEXDuf
凱薩突然說。白絃有點不高興，「四年前的事了，提這幹嘛？」476Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡesjsRdblJ9
476Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGQAxkpmsr3
「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？」476Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkZX9IxLuP7
476Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHjBiniamUt
白絃大方承認：「我現在打不贏我弟弟。」476Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6IIqGTnBEH
476Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcATGvDtYgV
「真是災難。」凱薩挑眉，「要是李仲翔回來，妳要怎麼辦？」476Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX8yqpG7wdh
476Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWHRVEWneF5
「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。」476Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8R8wejoGqi
476Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsbvyNHkuAF
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。476Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyrc14YuTDc
476Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnWihCBJVEp
「這是什麼？」476Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0yicCjlKdB
476Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGLtUR44xVJ
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！」476Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQAuyVwv0Wg
476Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH0zoV4KUmS
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！」476Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKL9JffR2d4
476Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0emX83GmjM
盯著項鍊，白絃不知為何陷入沉思，凱薩講什麼都沒聽見。476Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7mtkVNvf5O
476Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ6PiwL1Zf2
「喂！聽不懂人話嗎？我叫妳放下！」476Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7NfPipWU9P
476Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkhnUJRTRNY
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？」476Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡunbb6lZpol
476Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡftJjZlr69H
「啥！？」火山爆發，「當然不准！那是我花好多錢買的！！」476Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWlOkvOL65t
476Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5u2VZ2P0Q8
「錢的問題嗎？太好了！」476Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ6eNAfDNCR
476Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡczf84bSWLL
說完，白絃拿出一大疊鈔票。476Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxgTaC3mQC6
476Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ04Fs2KzTxR
「妳哪來這麼多錢？」凱薩困惑，「妳不是無業遊民？」476Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV7BkcbCaZA
476Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpg7u5UNirU
「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。」476Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGbsdfZ5g9A
476Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0BcbH46BOX
「妳是在挖苦我親子關係惡劣嗎？」476Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBF1f4N95t6
476Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAMzgpCn4rD
「嘿，至少你還有葛蕾絲，這比什麼都重要。」476Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz0V0J1vncD
476Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX2csvQKZie
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。476Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoDzgYuSBVm
476Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ79MXhz38vG
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。476Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡed1kB8xNZw
476Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2tkCtNQ95j
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。476Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWT7plRSgWH
476Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQrhnNMQQdj
「唉。」476Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcekBH95AIa
476Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ35c8vLnBr9
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？476Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXTCoufz8Oz
476Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa4vtbw50nR
否則，罵歸罵，凱薩卻不趕人，任白絃在家裡飄來飄去。476Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJkYfeaZHbP
476Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG0d2ziYJpf
「妳聽說了嗎？里奧把她女兒送去薩拉凱爾。」476Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPxKpPpM51G
476Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8yc4PmpYG4
凱薩隨便開了話題。白絃竟然不知道，回頭問：「什麼？」476Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi7GJdzxLqU
476Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm24rplmrYt
「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？」476Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKqtJIMYDma
476Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLD95m6dDwU
「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。」476Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKf5pmgxD6n
476Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0jN06bVRYP
「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。」476Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbVMVZgc2eh
476Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkSuro4QnwB
「小約翰的繼承人……」476Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4Ja7MlBlGH
476Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzIGmY0ngbI
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。476Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9UwUaApPx8
476Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ36dKJlFUq0
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。476Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡal5cw6yPSU
476Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMqB91YQPBo
「葛蕾絲也問了妳的事。」476Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkp39ejJtZP
476Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFH5xOEi5ck
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。」476Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa825Y9OF8F
476Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIk9TKYPSIk
白絃瞇起眼睛，歪頭，「我為什麼要殺他？」476Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxgpeWUlytI
476Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3OCxsMXo4F
「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。」476Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9vtltdD2uH
476Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0BAbRVkMKk
「是喔──」白絃轉了轉紫色的眼珠，「你怎麼回答？」476Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5j5td2cuTY
476Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvmhGFVgCCI
「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。」476Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVzGgJITpG5
476Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmRK44CThmM
「哦？」白絃故意又問：「我想做什麼？」476Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ269tDZLnRr
476Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1hbNI0mryX
「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。」476Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLSBAPJsnWT
476Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4xeMeH4rGn
「……。」476Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxx9IS1xBGO
476Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmiNOqIjSsP
「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？」476Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMrl5iAcraM
476Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbjjnX7q4sC
凱薩說完，兩人都陷入沉默，心照不宣。476Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZs5QeIPJHP
476Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡghU3dMIlh6
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。476Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡymVGcy4vb5
476Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBq0L94sxTt
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。476Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ44HkggqYnK
476Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ76NU9SfYBc
476Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdkRUEf1sVn
凱薩、夏悠、白絃、李仲翔。476Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcRnvabbIsH
476Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9vByLZy5uQ
四個絕頂聰明的人，歷史上的針鋒相對，那只是故事的一頁。476Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9PPDDcU1UP
476Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT8p8ZDiaYa
他們的關係不是針鋒相對，而是惺惺相惜。476Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQhHNmfUPQq
476Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdt4YpVXAQM
476Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHk5xLxhHpe
「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。」476Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlQB3GSVDus
476Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnKkJ9vVbRX
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。476Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6yDn0527uy
476Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMpXHabnb4z
「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。」476Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo0q9N1aeR8
476Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhc0d5rF4Ry
「……嗯。」476Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUE04vHakUv
476Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm6vovltbsE
白絃點頭，兩手摀著臉。凱薩聽見她在哭。476Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJslfGW86V5
476Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5tDHFn6U3r
476Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7ArstKjNtN
沒錯，白絃在哭。476Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUpdKbMlWPV
476Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtNJkA4Oha9
她已經很久，沒在別人面前哭了。476Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEDJTuSw1Pr
476Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtDJb3Mt0lL
476Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuivdJkIsOm
「凱凱……」476Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdivui1fP7i
476Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOzA0wJgv83
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？」476Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR5OuSsFz3U
476Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOke19v546n
「當然。」476Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLC2CswwXu2
476Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ20gUPxFoLe
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。476Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc1bhaRYM4u
476Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1Dl4YA2khG
「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……」476Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ5kKCibZrP
476Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO0sgs4bqmj
「『有社交障礙的科學怪人』。」476Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0u0oy9pjX9
476Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzZweJHCFbF
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。476Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBdyE9n3N5l
476Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo7JbvBeOxh
「真是慧眼獨到啊，那個死老頭。」476Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxuuM3i5Ev3
476Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlkOEgVRorA
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。」476Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqum265MMFr
476Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhfJs655BkA
「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。」476Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYBPzxzlqdi
476Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhTijGsBCtl
「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。」476Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3G837tXaAB
476Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGaTdc0A1eG
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。476Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTAdOuq3ymS
476Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZHA3g6S0hR
「白絃。」476Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtADlySC5o7
476Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ35Nch9saRB
「嗯？」476Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡol0Fv5ka4f
476Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBK2zjiZRv4
「等事情告一段落，」凱薩表示：「我也打算走了。」476Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJTBsCM5SvL
476Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa4RlayXkb4
「……。」476Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdVqiVyKnMY
476Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVD1WjFGaVo
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。476Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4ONnxV1mgJ
476Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdbQfduiJ7X
「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。」476Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtbozIJXKxR
476Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK9YbGWmT89
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。476Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3XseQAvOSj
476Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6ssYX05nDH
「你不想見仲翔嗎？」白絃問凱薩。476Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI9K0qPfE13
476Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN1lPmPsJCP
「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。」476Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC2rFQXwLMJ
476Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIK18OeNTg0
「……這樣啊。」白絃的聲音放輕，「確實，仲翔一定也這麼想。」476Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNB1EWnLQD9
476Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaxYXmmXIiU
凱薩抬頭，看著飄在空中的白絃，用久違的稱呼叫她：「小白。」476Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy0rG9Zx32b
476Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmdl0mdN0ev
「……？」476Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSywccAKDvh
476Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuAmMQcfHed
「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。」476Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXNVSTOVGkK
476Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAUCEbVZnUh
「……。」476Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvElxgqmDhV
476Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFIqJ1Ontvx
「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。」476Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4VnKzzesbQ
476Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkMLCfbHKIP
「……。」476Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTwdfdp64QL
476Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfNHlwMAWKB
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。476Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpciAzPH9eC
476Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5uS6jrAyYv
「凱凱還是老樣子，很愛操心呢！」476Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvAaOp9BLzN
476Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYa6s5anuqD
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。476Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh39PQagiYx
476Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjch3EHYEMH
「我會記得的，不用擔心。」476Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkxwZfTbQPW
476Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKqDHzXAxq6
白絃恢復成平時有精神的模樣，看起來不像哭過。476Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkCnkdTOXkE
476Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE9pYuDfnoJ
「你的事，要告訴葛蕾絲和尼可拉斯嗎？」476Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0gfOy6gPT3
476Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFWkfIBS8xb
「時候到了，我會跟他們講，妳不要多嘴。」476Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYNAPOOnAQU
476Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzyj5SlJEgr
「是是，聽你的，都聽你的。」476Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaYJqFUq9Q4
476Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTCFzjeyMUQ
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。」476Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiAb9cfGOzm
