2161年2月20日，中午十二點，教育中心C區503Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1Vv64UcJNI
503Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuRw7zfeKvi
503Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcujqXATyuh
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。503Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDKcS3Ydblf
503Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡueaNBUx8YJ
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。503Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0sHuiVkp60
503Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN4BzNofNqa
「啊──」503Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSgQord4FcT
503Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9tVcT7exDq
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。503Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgLO9IC1xjg
503Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJVanZDlkuo
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。503Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡze0Gw8I0Me
503Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlaDGtuI1UX
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。503Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrdoenas3OD
503Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHMQDmvBgLK
503Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVqveS63zPR
「凱凱，怎麼又吃泡麵啊？」503Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5ElR7HW6zW
503Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl2Hdb53Euq
503Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxwusz2yroW
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。503Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD7SJcYYLjQ
503Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdlbSlk5P5w
「白絃！說過多少次，不要一聲不響就出現在我家！」503Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZiWBtfROBf
503Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5Msb1iZThc
說完，凱薩扔了把菜刀，被白絃輕鬆閃開。503Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmCVBKmShti
503Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUek78uAIuN
「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。503Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuEG8Y4XWfR
503Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnxsYY7lVU6
「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！」503Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJuppe4bkdy
503Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOwppgh18JF
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。503Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYSltMCYpnp
503Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoXtLTByIsm
「你家怎麼這麼髒啊？」503Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqsSPAukB7R
503Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9rb0SNJVEI
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。」503Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsZirggRN2z
503Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrwCk4jobfT
「吵死了。」503Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrGZdRT0jcZ
503Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIlyBZ1cAoC
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。503Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHFKUHF0qw0
503Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8FmKmcFnek
「艾莉絲在做什麼？」白絃突然問他。503Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjv8ZNOaGp8
503Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVYGjwWsjqF
「誰知道。」凱薩說：「在夏家吧。」503Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOEMdhlXZ1M
503Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcp7Pzgn7qJ
「她為什麼老是待在家？夏家明明無聊的要死。」503Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHvz87GqYEN
503Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0kIRHjwekZ
「誰知道。」凱薩重複一樣的句型：「在等妳吧。」503Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZPEDySUMlP
503Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg6SYjbZfNM
「……。」503Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVKjvCPDTqm
503Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOCXkrXr9xN
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。503Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡONV0H692d2
503Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsbjwmGN15p
「聽說妳被里奧揍得很慘。」503Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw14AE2IauM
503Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlyqFrcOqt5
凱薩突然說。白絃有點不高興，「四年前的事了，提這幹嘛？」503Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsd31k16exG
503Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcIDsn9pHy8
「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？」503Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuKOxnCez0q
503Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡON4XnCGK0x
白絃大方承認：「我現在打不贏我弟弟。」503Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlkDVarKBtX
503Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGKCPoLCdgX
「真是災難。」凱薩挑眉，「要是李仲翔回來，妳要怎麼辦？」503Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh6Mkm1X7dt
503Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSpL1YDxLkG
「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。」503Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQm4KOpQGbb
503Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOyLTCJXqSv
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。503Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhDvcP0SHTQ
503Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWeZlUJ6IM4
「這是什麼？」503Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrwbu369K2v
503Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6g91kfa3Ac
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！」503Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuMeDm9FGOU
503Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkWnG9HbgXK
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！」503Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡseNZ886zmp
503Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwP8m7r9BQv
盯著項鍊，白絃不知為何陷入沉思，凱薩講什麼都沒聽見。503Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpKXomklN79
503Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0Hxz4wiQaq
「喂！聽不懂人話嗎？我叫妳放下！」503Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ26K42zM0lH
503Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLsD6g1Gjmq
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？」503Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3KWByeUPRC
503Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ485YIFTjFV
「啥！？」火山爆發，「當然不准！那是我花好多錢買的！！」503Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVliy8YwGVj
503Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFY3SIqK8ZD
「錢的問題嗎？太好了！」503Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMP1sPp1TDn
503Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhr2dePVKd0
說完，白絃拿出一大疊鈔票。503Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc3ULEukVSL
503Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvs0WSVGfUW
「妳哪來這麼多錢？」凱薩困惑，「妳不是無業遊民？」503Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYQZD3X6A2o
503Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVr69QEAfHq
「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。」503Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZde8unb8OZ
503Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjPKOSXRNFc
「妳是在挖苦我親子關係惡劣嗎？」503Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqS7Rfeo7Ux
503Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9A2w4cOJo8
「嘿，至少你還有葛蕾絲，這比什麼都重要。」503Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlHyXfWSMMo
503Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv71GFbr0wn
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。503Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwxciW28q1V
503Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTRWbknb2Ko
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。503Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM6ZYXolTnS
503Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnVlmxYgFcY
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。503Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUSYiRrz4MF
503Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYGJcw3Z7gT
「唉。」503Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3P9AkwXyPa
503Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrQGMBwj0kQ
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？503Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk7sh04MJ2J
503Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSbHuhaYkDt
否則，罵歸罵，凱薩卻不趕人，任白絃在家裡飄來飄去。503Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuVbN9iV40f
503Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9xSlQfX7rH
「妳聽說了嗎？里奧把她女兒送去薩拉凱爾。」503Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡShlLT4DpAk
503Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFQ5FoJPKXn
凱薩隨便開了話題。白絃竟然不知道，回頭問：「什麼？」503Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaMhUQ67aXI
503Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLvTSJVnEzT
「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？」503Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGUmPEnpdC2
503Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXsDOWf3jZ9
「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。」503Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzqV3oexqEj
503Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuBBfXfTXx4
「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。」503Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbTGucD1T5n
503Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4nhxFZmQpr
「小約翰的繼承人……」503Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlxsl85yrjE
503Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE8xgNj3pKM
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。503Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU8O3aLibhG
503Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo6KIQHpZpY
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。503Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHW9PhytgcW
503Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡROsF2Nk3dZ
「葛蕾絲也問了妳的事。」503Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHKA1tZbLoj
503Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYfRxVPkRue
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。」503Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTutYpwcuEu
503Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPu2UdeeNaU
白絃瞇起眼睛，歪頭，「我為什麼要殺他？」503Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7gOno6eVx4
503Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTzLNTl9Vy8
「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。」503Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOofYoQyjSI
503Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnkd93HsE7m
「是喔──」白絃轉了轉紫色的眼珠，「你怎麼回答？」503Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlbJcwgOg0z
503Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTepw7fwXY0
「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。」503Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0HAQ2TAV0o
503Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ07psuwchY
「哦？」白絃故意又問：「我想做什麼？」503Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsO4ICNyC4R
503Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCjJ7o5iToG
「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。」503Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSUQuIB6ffg
503Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfIgJVyAd1e
「……。」503Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnKKLwWnMzn
503Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt7NVSkdUjn
「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？」503Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9ifs0Vat9Y
503Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiLTnd8nyGU
凱薩說完，兩人都陷入沉默，心照不宣。503Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXWK3eY5yQv
503Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX9NKqi7upr
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。503Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFem6wfAzS7
503Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvUI3WBVSEJ
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。503Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPGVfV8Uxpv
503Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3XtevdRwjO
503Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs1kUMXHlYg
凱薩、夏悠、白絃、李仲翔。503Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEqCa5814op
503Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAAiEktQOfb
四個絕頂聰明的人，歷史上的針鋒相對，那只是故事的一頁。503Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡryeWVngipF
503Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzRL2FoVTRa
他們的關係不是針鋒相對，而是惺惺相惜。503Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqF1jVIZrLj
503Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡat9uy26UJ3
503Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZshzxIU3Fu
「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。」503Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡviMboAZn0p
503Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkjnFltg3qc
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。503Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXdYcnAayYV
503Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLk1gmmu833
「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。」503Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNX740gdkiq
503Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfNBRLdhgTd
「……嗯。」503Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3jaISs2E7t
503Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGSD2xrf8O2
白絃點頭，兩手摀著臉。凱薩聽見她在哭。503Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg24EHXBFug
503Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDk62U6TAOh
503Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡey69WOmJga
沒錯，白絃在哭。503Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV8DnhW58Kq
503Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZGwgxWVjzB
她已經很久，沒在別人面前哭了。503Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqpG5rt6h8p
503Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy9mgv7pxBc
503Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZh1GmsIYFk
「凱凱……」503Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOtfjGeH93n
503Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ03owCKp470
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？」503Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJPwmcSHqe3
503Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwIPxiGW063
「當然。」503Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡffaWN4p2pI
503Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAqvBFMbXcd
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。503Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh5fewf333f
503Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRHLHEXNPIn
「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……」503Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHIvKF6kOvf
503Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPz5ANIqfeN
「『有社交障礙的科學怪人』。」503Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlFKkEPtmz9
503Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFkPet0tHeu
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。503Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0yMt7vy6v2
503Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXyoTuOwZzb
「真是慧眼獨到啊，那個死老頭。」503Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡznlZMOf3SH
503Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzour1U1kbi
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。」503Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtPMbSWzt2O
503Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh2bLONpipc
「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。」503Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqOvIHZQrhi
503Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqu2dBo7G5Q
「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。」503Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAg3SIwKsgv
503Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqCWPGjLR0o
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。503Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxDIgF6uIZQ
503Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPnFgK2zvb5
「白絃。」503Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvMwrJVBHTT
503Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0fam66NlCD
「嗯？」503Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTt1TFbMAb4
503Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvax5ejLAnV
「等事情告一段落，」凱薩表示：「我也打算走了。」503Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9DQmymApPx
503Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGGo46zf0ZU
「……。」503Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjFr7qdDqmP
503Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuR2zU9SRDY
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。503Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPVLZMbTDyG
503Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHYAb7unFGi
「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。」503Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSmL4omKcsp
503Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSl2amqadeG
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。503Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq1rl48OHOJ
503Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4HAVsk2Rfy
「你不想見仲翔嗎？」白絃問凱薩。503Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ77WloKJ5Dd
503Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡocWXLaHyst
「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。」503Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG500dw5WVb
503Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV82AGOFjkQ
「……這樣啊。」白絃的聲音放輕，「確實，仲翔一定也這麼想。」503Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqrtbw4cKIS
503Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnJ9cQPbjBh
凱薩抬頭，看著飄在空中的白絃，用久違的稱呼叫她：「小白。」503Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTa2qhetkeH
503Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPMPsfHcFoW
「……？」503Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhzutzZgHCd
503Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7EswRyJbkP
「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。」503Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG82IKz84rC
503Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFiNVyzTKCc
「……。」503Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9vRd2qrBV7
503Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnEIXT8e9t1
「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。」503Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvV5uILFgbA
503Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXJ5enTaETu
「……。」503Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsSS9HQ0IwV
503Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlwayO3Ezd4
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。503Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsIa6dQEoib
503Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5jmcMvE8w2
「凱凱還是老樣子，很愛操心呢！」503Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ01aCWvynhG
503Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtRvwIH0JhO
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。503Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡouU4KOVULw
503Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdgnIemShbw
「我會記得的，不用擔心。」503Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb0O6swS9I0
503Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhzKueTnfYp
白絃恢復成平時有精神的模樣，看起來不像哭過。503Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvjODfVMyZQ
503Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG5P7Btrj0h
「你的事，要告訴葛蕾絲和尼可拉斯嗎？」503Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyu1qqU3QJj
503Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxLUJWUJrpr
「時候到了，我會跟他們講，妳不要多嘴。」503Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnGVCcq6vMO
503Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwY5RX3LXX2
「是是，聽你的，都聽你的。」503Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyI1Z29nFHw
503Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ58Yq8wvlMg
