晚宴散場，終於，「新婚」伴侶有自己的時間。7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1VBK2cehny

「你先去洗澡。」普希拉坐在梳妝桌前，卸掉妝髮，「用我房間的浴室。」7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRfG0W6TWW9
7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTt7E6Afx9p
「是。」7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIaHbnwGU2J

鄧肯帶著機器人，拿著換洗衣物，走進普希拉房裡的浴室，他差點以為自己來到熱帶溫室；由電腦操控的浴池可以選擇熱水從高空淋下、或從浴池內注入，水氣氤氳，一股悶熱養成大片的芭蕉葉，牆上吊著花籃和攀籐植物，鄧肯很久沒看到綠葉植物和紅嫩的花瓣了，他都快忘了母星上還有「泥土」這東西。7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTL5XQEs0iq
7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHIh2mMoxSb
活的植物、花卉，植株連同泥土是非常昂貴的裝飾品，普希拉的浴室裡靠著水氣，就種了一大堆了。7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF2js3Hze08
7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXklK67PLA8
由此可見，卡珊拉家多有錢。7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtXlBi02Pvw

一件件脫下衣物，鄧肯操作電腦螢幕，泡進熱水池裡。7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI0s5q6RqAD
7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEHJJictXwI
池邊的植物掉下枯葉、碎屑，他不嫌髒，反而覺得很……珍貴！7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuS2FYF6kAX
7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhLkanBov8J
他聽說，議會在建造巨塔以前，母星的地表覆蓋著「泥土」，植物會從泥土裡長出來，成為食物、做成衣服或能源，那時候的植物和泥土不是裝飾品，沒有這麼貴，也隨處可見，但那是多久以前的事？7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3joZLFhwmS
母星上真的有這段歷史？還是學者胡亂編造的？7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFXQ59GZqsX
7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ72yqMWXPKS
沒人有答案。7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhxUgOblm0Z
7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMBwjUum3H1
鄧肯泡在熱水池裡，頭昏昏的，覺得更餓了。7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbQGavWaJoK
7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAWC50Qm20i
他要怎麼向「夫家」要東西吃？想到就有點丟臉。7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpcDGMny9lE

他洗完澡，走出浴室，看到普希拉坐在梳妝桌前，換了白色浴袍和絨毛拖鞋、頭髮是溼的。7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTMHV8Den0j
7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSXr5q26fgH
「我用我爸媽房間的浴室洗過了，我不想浪費時間。」普希拉一邊擦頭髮一邊說。7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNzTlJodgNr
7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhrtgk9g8Sb
「什麼時間？」接下來不是沒事了嗎？難道還有活動？7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlRPATCBF0N
7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoJMlcHjZpy
「跟你相處的時間。」普希拉望向鄧肯，微笑，「你常曬太陽嗎？」7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgpc6YYihkV
7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOHddMy4N2u
普希拉把毛巾包在頭上，浴袍開口露出鎖骨，白晰皮膚底下泛著泡過熱水的微紅，對比鄧肯小麥色的皮膚，鄧肯總覺得自己長得不好看；像他這種人，怎麼配的上普希拉‧卡珊拉？7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhAi6FqtESZ
7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw7BWfQer7P
「不……這是……」鄧肯穿著自己帶來的家居服，怎麼看怎麼寒酸，他不知道自己該坐下，還是站著，沒有「允許」，他不敢做任何事，「短時間曝曬在高紫外線下造成的。」7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDyG5lVtJ9X
7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnmIANbOo5Z
「高紫外線？你去過其他星球？」7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg7syIVDRk5
7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoaNH6Q7X0T
「我參與7403和7453號侵略任務，在處女座三號星，該星距離恆星很近，曝曬在高度的紫外線下，就變成這樣了。該星的原生種居住在地底下，他們有豐富的重金屬礦。」7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCRfBiTgnZa
7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm2WbRgidIe
「你沒有帶好裝備？」7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEu6q0wpgFj
7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvHjYrbv6PW
「我忘記了。」7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfpxTnz6Obs
7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6UHhWHniZh
「怎麼會呢？」7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs0gCvE1c9h
7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9maX0VHTif
那對鄧肯來說，不是好回憶，「閣下，您應該能存取到資料……」7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH95jRBbFCI
7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfOgZw5nTIO
「我想聽你說。」7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOzjVimjych
7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsV6P2XZ9Jt
事實上，普希拉的雙親早讀過鄧肯的資料了。7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3vP8l9xXIt
7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPdqS9C75oB
「坐啊，站在那邊幹嘛？」7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPicRAoNX3F
7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbLasRsFudx
因為從小長大的環境，養尊處優，又位於上層社會，普希拉習慣發號施令，鄧肯對這種態度倒沒什麼意見，聽從上級指示對軍人來說是很正常的，但問題來了……7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7bSV8tWeQx
7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ911K9Hp5Hy
他又得坐床邊嗎？7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4yvconiYUS
7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIfK0IVNvX7
「坐下，這樣我們才好說話。」普希拉在手上、臉上塗抹保護皮膚的乳液，乳液由科學院研發，純天然粹取，絕不添加化學混和物——因此很貴——這是他從媽媽那邊學來的，他媽媽又是從其他官夫人那兒學的。7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0jg2QAr6Dz
7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGPOlgb59kC
「閣下，我站著就——」7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwW6fxqYC6q
7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYuZ2usJ6KE
「鄧肯，我是你的伴侶，你往後的人生都要叫我要『閣下』嗎？」7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh5QBYtSvGt
7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbaKDpYmMBy
「……」鄧肯突然有點難為情，他現在才意識到，「伴侶」這關係，不是在外拍拍手、吃吃自助餐，而是意味著他們接下來的人生，都被綁在一起。7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSWiyPnz5z9
7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIGMrqIecP5
「坐，我有好多問題想問你……你想躺著也可以啦。」7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkbpEDFZBA1
7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8BsEAcTOjz
普希拉臉上掛著大大的微笑，這時，鄧肯的胃發出抗議聲，普希拉的笑容像消風的氣球，鄧肯只想找個地洞鑽進去。7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYgt7dSJQDk
7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsXwewBmNKI
「我很抱歉，閣下…..」7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcgO0avTdOo
7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXW6RHelQCs
「不打緊，你知道廚房在哪吧，順便幫我拿點吃的。」7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtaf8b4MTQN
7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaKb7wRx4kP
普希拉說完，又專注在鏡子前了，他故意不去看鄧肯，讓鄧肯自己走出房間。7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwgmBTcBKyF
