2161年2月20日，中午十二點，教育中心C區528Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgTIv4Etlwx
528Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRPDKMDqAEr
528Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqaDQkZR1r8
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。528Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnE9SDt0of7
528Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJWg7sDcxOJ
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。528Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2NgoCEHcPg
528Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYgofpuXQzA
「啊──」528Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAWGiMxT22T
528Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYPxbaHrjaR
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。528Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8kSUJ5Fwlr
528Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiM99NROa8H
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。528Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ68MlUQ16e2
528Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjEzHTFqZCj
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。528Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4giaqicMSe
528Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1nTDNddQ2M
528Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4Ehf0txji0
「凱凱，怎麼又吃泡麵啊？」528Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd8hFZDXc6a
528Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsH6fgmxIkV
528Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR3QWQAdIef
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。528Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0EVqy9oZgw
528Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN0Bj50zrhU
「白絃！說過多少次，不要一聲不響就出現在我家！」528Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXAhzE0PY3X
528Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKHiZEt6myD
說完，凱薩扔了把菜刀，被白絃輕鬆閃開。528Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKLKxm02tEC
528Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5TQVekbW2L
「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。528Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFaAhjxl5JJ
528Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhIctFnZbPi
「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！」528Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrJIWrGNSHx
528Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKTxOR9Ja6K
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。528Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8YS1P6la9t
528Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwftaHgpo15
「你家怎麼這麼髒啊？」528Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaJYsMtxOol
528Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPs5OsjZmwt
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。」528Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM9kmKwoyEE
528Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM0lBYHWnJ6
「吵死了。」528Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡimWIz1cSlU
528Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcbcYFb4kgd
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。528Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD8iP4pYvC2
528Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtCZJ6V9IrY
「艾莉絲在做什麼？」白絃突然問他。528Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd6UwMAe8aV
528Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCJ7MskUNM6
「誰知道。」凱薩說：「在夏家吧。」528Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ98yX4HzMLw
528Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdOaBJGxIrV
「她為什麼老是待在家？夏家明明無聊的要死。」528Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMYEptQVTik
528Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0T15BSmGso
「誰知道。」凱薩重複一樣的句型：「在等妳吧。」528Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzexSEPkAY0
528Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd62XfyFEZR
「……。」528Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKYcjPeQ35M
528Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAWWnbhCDne
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。528Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUcPuCRF5vK
528Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf7eFclCZ9e
「聽說妳被里奧揍得很慘。」528Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf2NLFAXbHG
528Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwXcAHgM3og
凱薩突然說。白絃有點不高興，「四年前的事了，提這幹嘛？」528Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdeCcRzA4De
528Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB157cENVne
「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？」528Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU3xJ5GAKnI
528Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIP9uNYPZUL
白絃大方承認：「我現在打不贏我弟弟。」528Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2hMIjqXh5V
528Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH6XMSsrgsV
「真是災難。」凱薩挑眉，「要是李仲翔回來，妳要怎麼辦？」528Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw8WDRs2qtf
528Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ55aWrQDLFn
「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。」528Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHqixCzPUdy
528Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPudmVVm2We
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。528Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0BpWwnEh9F
528Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvbTGE2uXtW
「這是什麼？」528Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFCQhhvdfVe
528Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOCFnWaBqFX
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！」528Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk7fxU9ccY4
528Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhfe8LXeXWK
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！」528Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1BIURpYPGu
528Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTUXtzmdAB2
盯著項鍊，白絃不知為何陷入沉思，凱薩講什麼都沒聽見。528Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBUvCVOD9HW
528Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaKYsXRa51j
「喂！聽不懂人話嗎？我叫妳放下！」528Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwCCcl4YsyT
528Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBcImUFY2Dq
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？」528Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2pk2T2BO6e
528Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfdXMdiSb6m
「啥！？」火山爆發，「當然不准！那是我花好多錢買的！！」528Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAfB8W4m6LZ
528Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh0YP1rbnjx
「錢的問題嗎？太好了！」528Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIetggNGQvV
528Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIyJrjHfenD
說完，白絃拿出一大疊鈔票。528Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3Coe6qSXvw
528Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5wImU28OeG
「妳哪來這麼多錢？」凱薩困惑，「妳不是無業遊民？」528Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPKlQLOX8co
528Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSQ8Tf4vGxy
「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。」528Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1QIRCNKu0a
528Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfqmM681T7M
「妳是在挖苦我親子關係惡劣嗎？」528Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjRzPLOuIkI
528Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2khFkFNsga
「嘿，至少你還有葛蕾絲，這比什麼都重要。」528Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqBjPzYA9Ul
528Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj5pRWPzFmA
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。528Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡItTPKlW48g
528Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhYTwIpeCk4
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。528Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDz8yGO8Skb
528Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJnvEl3cHTY
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。528Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2IAkobCBVn
528Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxPITSAnkLJ
「唉。」528Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZF99cSPrHc
528Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAh83ZrHR3X
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？528Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpvl1thMTYz
528Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPjwboRbAyP
否則，罵歸罵，凱薩卻不趕人，任白絃在家裡飄來飄去。528Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2o6307YF6A
528Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtXkxxS5Wab
「妳聽說了嗎？里奧把她女兒送去薩拉凱爾。」528Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmiUHmJUVHP
528Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjLIpAq4jPr
凱薩隨便開了話題。白絃竟然不知道，回頭問：「什麼？」528Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1IKP7RBfdB
528Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ50FWqhz8fM
「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？」528Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM7jmrDrRfk
528Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfPa1ntXmuO
「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。」528Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv1Z4KBbixR
528Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3YP8peof4I
「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。」528Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpGvXGCbt5Q
528Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNsFP99suvQ
「小約翰的繼承人……」528Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYUE5eRrGlN
528Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy7rBQKOLda
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。528Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSNOBA268aL
528Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3pwGqR11Nl
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。528Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUQwsFvF9NL
528Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWPGXonIY8P
「葛蕾絲也問了妳的事。」528Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ75I5TI8tDw
528Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHboDUIfrgU
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。」528Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0WO5wX2xTu
528Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAs830q1L4P
白絃瞇起眼睛，歪頭，「我為什麼要殺他？」528Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9qksPjRMvp
528Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMlkFJWpp0e
「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。」528Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0S3cRGeB3P
528Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkMIAOGnHpz
「是喔──」白絃轉了轉紫色的眼珠，「你怎麼回答？」528Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXZP696snWh
528Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEy9XUGS0tX
「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。」528Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2B7OSm7H1F
528Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoE8ZTROwrU
「哦？」白絃故意又問：「我想做什麼？」528Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBhBEFAk4oE
528Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuXgRJRY3Yn
「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。」528Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ38sKXaEbDk
528Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAYhTmlhwsL
「……。」528Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSTY64zWfx1
528Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtYfKvKn9Zi
「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？」528Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg9ewOGkzi8
528Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmbpCmpaBDi
凱薩說完，兩人都陷入沉默，心照不宣。528Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhBcIeTSSqG
528Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdPYFZUgm2f
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。528Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuGXGorK7ZY
528Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR9mv6iom0S
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。528Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlj0lE9wBYE
528Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeE4kTWcP5n
528Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡonqJvAIj5E
凱薩、夏悠、白絃、李仲翔。528Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXbjFKJMmB6
528Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi3Z7IpNF6y
四個絕頂聰明的人，歷史上的針鋒相對，那只是故事的一頁。528Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxUpI867L3z
528Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPOjZ4Xivsc
他們的關係不是針鋒相對，而是惺惺相惜。528Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZPcBSgvAaL
528Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAMmYcGRzmf
528Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcnBk4N6NBY
「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。」528Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxttcWiCLHP
528Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsvjNu0z7M1
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。528Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvTTrmpuoFW
528Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr6eyEZ4Ve0
「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。」528Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB2PNEfet6u
528Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPQmglEv5sc
「……嗯。」528Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLX5hfGVKsH
528Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZOLElGn8q6
白絃點頭，兩手摀著臉。凱薩聽見她在哭。528Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ35lhLwj5W4
528Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwMrxZePZJp
528Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ82NmZCWX6K
沒錯，白絃在哭。528Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxTKB7yd6Gb
528Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq5hPwU7lzV
她已經很久，沒在別人面前哭了。528Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHFtpH4TCmr
528Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ18winUUX16
528Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0VnSKTGT3s
「凱凱……」528Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV8xIlFIJ13
528Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIKoOxWgT1F
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？」528Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhxhRwRPG77
528Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIvnY2eLJ2C
「當然。」528Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFdC13LPe7J
528Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgqWpfHagHx
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。528Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡekBMNNnN85
528Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvl7dloXx3b
「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……」528Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdRurvOQjFq
528Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3enyMLVcBp
「『有社交障礙的科學怪人』。」528Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzdcGBPks10
528Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz7MtZoThrQ
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。528Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmgDfvXIKIL
528Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaxdv0y4Qpd
「真是慧眼獨到啊，那個死老頭。」528Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ72kUCrw06j
528Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp4M10ilqaJ
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。」528Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ74CuP7NlnP
528Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlY96Q614hx
「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。」528Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0k1cpFmFMA
528Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrLJU9xWwos
「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。」528Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv8x6v2QECH
528Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSfuSDKMntn
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。528Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXlNxsSCvZq
528Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoUoqEkPDwy
「白絃。」528Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcbGqxfjZTE
528Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGj3lFbTNH4
「嗯？」528Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm9Gc91HPLc
528Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH5zGI8CxGz
「等事情告一段落，」凱薩表示：「我也打算走了。」528Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIrNvfFWkwT
528Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwXdvaoFQkt
「……。」528Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxPkvW4QI2I
528Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwV9Ng1NtMw
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。528Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡniRvCnrp38
528Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2sVtvSohKZ
「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。」528Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIn37BDhuHX
528Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTy0TkKYED2
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。528Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYOx6V3cq2S
528Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOuWP4M5vbB
「你不想見仲翔嗎？」白絃問凱薩。528Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvN7OQZLZ11
528Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmehcsZ97eA
「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。」528Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡir7S7uomal
528Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ95geKUr4OY
「……這樣啊。」白絃的聲音放輕，「確實，仲翔一定也這麼想。」528Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu2d59eljPX
528Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTQ7NY353Eg
凱薩抬頭，看著飄在空中的白絃，用久違的稱呼叫她：「小白。」528Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgrFud0DIEB
528Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhM7fcvNvnD
「……？」528Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp4PhnUu5wA
528Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcGPP9j8sjr
「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。」528Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmPgX9IYM17
528Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxboIhJVMzn
「……。」528Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoB3k1SptKN
528Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡioDIzvvw1X
「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。」528Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkKcunlzTCB
528Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhfIzEV92Vl
「……。」528Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSqYRYjVJdC
528Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡilliFThGkM
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。528Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsdbRK8kcKO
528Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkd4dNZyhQt
「凱凱還是老樣子，很愛操心呢！」528Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDaYiEiHbyc
528Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ68XZedel0
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。528Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2s46iZDXzs
528Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLltmPkmClf
「我會記得的，不用擔心。」528Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7VBg6P0cpa
528Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqiaFoZUAlH
白絃恢復成平時有精神的模樣，看起來不像哭過。528Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe1K0Heh3AF
528Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvwFBefWHwi
「你的事，要告訴葛蕾絲和尼可拉斯嗎？」528Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiGun82ILag
528Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGELFMr90wi
「時候到了，我會跟他們講，妳不要多嘴。」528Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNVz8rpbEx5

528Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeaSDULD8G6
