常斐然：“Shouldn't you stay and help her?（你不留下帮她吗？）”

Pukia：“Help her? We'd be stuck there all day if it wasn't for her. They are retired—they’ve got nothing but time, and we can’t do a damn thing to them! I can’t even raise my voice!（帮个屁啊，自身都难保了。你以为要是不因为她，咱们走得掉吗？他们可都退休了，一天到晚全是时间，咱们拿他们没一点儿办法！我都不敢大声说话！）”

想想也是。刚才他们真没有要放他们走的意思。

常斐然：“I have a question.（我有一个问题。)

Pukia：“Yeah?（你说。）”

常斐然：“Do you really believe what you said? That whole 'saving people' crap?（你刚才自己说的话，你自己信吗？什么悬壶济世、治病救人的，你信吗？）”

Pukia：“Does it make any difference? （信怎么样，不信又怎么样？）”

常斐然：“Is there a single true word coming out of you? You just lie about anything to get your way!（你是不是嘴里根本没真话？你为了达到自己的目的什么谎都能撒！）”

Pukia：“Oh I wouldn't say that.（是吗，我没这么觉得。）”

常斐然：“You just told them you don't know where that man is! What about my sister? Have you been lying to me this whole time?（你刚才撒谎说不知道月主在哪。所以我妹妹呢？你是不是一直在骗我？）”

Pukia：“No, I would never lie to you! I really don't know where she is. But what's the rush? She'll show up for the New Moon anyway.（怎么可能，我骗谁都不会骗你的！我真的不知道你妹妹在哪儿。但是着什么急呢？反正新月那天她还会再过来。）”

电话响了。Pukia接起。

常斐然见她皱起眉头。

Pukia：“Yeah. OK. Yeah, got it. I'm on it. OK.（嗯嗯，好，嗯，好，我这就去买。好。）”

常斐然：“What?（怎么？）”

Pukia：“A girl’s pregnant.（有人怀孕了。）”

常斐然：“Who?（谁？）”

他突然警觉起来。

Pukia：“You have someone in mind?（你怕是谁？）”

常斐然：“Who's pregnant?（谁怀孕了？）”

Pukia轻佻的语调挑动着他紧张的神经，此时他只能祈祷不是陈添然、不是黎鸦。

Pukia：“Relax. Are you worried that is Lia?（放轻松 。你是害怕会是Lia吗？）

常斐然没说话，只是僵硬地看着她，像要用眼神逼迫她给他确切的回答。

Pukia：“It's not her. It's some other girl. But you do care about her a lot, don't you.（不是她，是其他别的女孩。但是你确实很在意她是吧？）”

听到前半句，常斐然就像是死刑犯在临行刑前被赦免般，在突然的放松和喜悦中将之后的一切空掉，以至于Pukia并没有等到他对后半句话的反驳。

常斐然：“...Congratulations to her.（祝贺她。）”
