《意隐故事--明玉轮》夏意隐

86、犯罪 等常斐然再

　　等常斐然再抬起头时，他们已经站在那幢别墅面前了。

　　常斐然：“Wow.（哇。）”

　　他还是没忍住发出惊叹。

　　Pukia径直走到大门，按下对讲机。

　　没有响应。

　　又按了一次。

　　还是没有回答。

　　Pukia：“Let's go to the back.（咱们去后面。）”

　　他们绕到建筑后侧：最外的栅栏铁门没锁，是虚掩的；之后是大片的草地，中间有一条通向别墅的小径，两棵同屋顶一样高的侧柏像左右二护法般分立在其两侧，完全对称。

　　Pukia伸手要推门。

　　常斐然：“I don't think this is appropriate.（这不合适吧。）”

　　Pukia：“You scared?（你害怕啦？）”

　　常斐然：“No, I'm not scared, I'm just saying this is not right. It's trespassing.（不是害怕，我是说这是错的。这是私闯民宅。）”

　　Pukia：“Well, we don't have to go if you're scared.（随便，你要是害怕我们就不过去了。）

　　常斐然：“I'm not scared.（我不是害怕。）”

　　Pukia：“Of course, whatever you say.（当然，你说不是就不是啦。）

　　常斐然：“What the heck are you implying, I don't-（你什么意思-）”

　　他话还没说完就被Pukia打断了。

　　Pukia：“I guess they are just not home.（他们应该是没在家。）”

　　她推开铁门，向里张望了张望。

　　由于常斐然被突然打断施法、之后又被瞬间转移话题，于是他也就下意识地跟着说了下去。

　　常斐然：“They are probably on the honeymoon.（他们可能是去度蜜月了。）”

　　Pukia：“You know the stuff.（你知道的还不少。）”

　　常斐然：“Don't treat me like I’m a kid.（不要和我总是像和小孩说话一样。）”

　　Pukia：“You are being too sensitive. But I forgive you, considering you were just traumatized.（你太敏感了。但是我原谅你，考虑到你刚受到创伤。）”

　　常斐然深吸一口气，压下怒火。

　　常斐然：“What now?（那现在干嘛？）”

　　Pukia：“Do you wanna go back?（你想回去吗？）”

　　常斐然：“No.（不想。）”

　　他回答地斩钉截铁。

　　Pukia：“You haven't had enough with me huh?（和我还没待够？）”

　　常斐然又深吸一口气扭过头，直接原路返回。

　　Pukia笑着从后面追上来。

　　Pukia：“I'm sorry. A change of topic, do you know why Lieward can move out and move in with Sophia?（对不起嘛。换个话题，你知道为什么Lieward能搬出去然后搬进Sophia家吗？）”

　　常斐然：“Because they are married.（因为他们结婚了。）”

　　Pukia：“Nope, I told you, marriage doesn't give you that kind of privilege.（不对，我跟你说过，结婚可不会给你这样的特权。）”

　　常斐然：“Because she’s rich? That does.（因为她很有钱？这个可以给人这样的特权。）”

　　Pukia：“Not just being rich.（不光是很有钱。）”

　　常斐然：“What do you mean?（什么意思？）”

　　Pukia：“You know what I mean. Everything's a deal.（你知道我什么意思。一切不过都是一场交易。）”

　　常斐然：“What... She gave money- you mean, she bribed Moonlord?（什么... 她给钱- 你的意思是，她贿赂月主？）”

　　Pukia挑了挑眉，眼神耐人寻味。

　　常斐然：“Is this- is this human trafficking?（这是- 这是人口贩卖吗？）”

　　他倒吸一口凉气。

　　常斐然：“So- what's that man's name——the one who ran away and caused the earthquake. Was that the same thing? Was that why he ran away?（那，那个男人的名字是什么来着——那个逃走的、造成地震的男人。是同样的状况吗？他是因为这个所以才逃跑的吗？）”

　　Pukia只是蹙着眉微笑看着他。

　　常斐然：“Then why Lieward this time, why him?（那这次为什么是Lieward? 为什么是他？）”

　　Pukia：“And why not you? Sorry, I withdraw that. But, yeah, do you remember why you were in the solitary confinement?（而为什么不是你吗？对不起，我撤回。但是，对，你还记的你为什么被关禁闭吗？）”

　　常斐然：“Lia! Right! He came close with Lia, so it's a punishment. But how would Sophia think about that? She paid for it and she herself is made into a punishment. That's not how you should treat your 'sponsor'.（Lia！对！所以这是一个惩罚。但是Sophia会怎么想？她花了钱结果自己还成为了对别人的惩罚。你们不应该这么对待你们的‘金主’。）”

　　Pukia：“It's just killing two birds with one stone. Come on, you gotta admit, Lieward looks fine, I would do him.（一石二鸟，何乐不为。再说了，你得承认，Lieward很帅好不好，我愿意跟他。）”

　　常斐然：“Isn't that illegal? Human trafficking?（这难道不犯法吗？人口贩卖。）”

　　Pukia：“Why? She's just a generous donor who happened to find her □□ husband in Silver Orb. What's illegal with that?（为什么？她只是一个在明玉轮遇见自己成年丈夫的慷慨捐赠者而已。这有什么犯法的？）”

　　常斐然：“There's no love. It's strictly business, a dark one.（他们之间没有爱。这就是桩生意，黑生意。）”

　　Pukia：“Can you prove there's no love? Can you prove there is? Maybe there's more than love. There's faith.（你怎么证明没爱？你怎么证明有爱？也许他们拥有的比单纯的爱要更多。他们有信仰。）”

　　常斐然：“Don't give me that bullshit. You know this is not right. This is human trafficking.（别扯这些有的没的。你知道这不对，这就是人口贩卖。）”

　　Pukia：“What would you call it if I were to sleep with you without getting or spending a single penny? Take the money factor out, you would call it ‘love’.（如果我没收或者没付一分钱就和你睡了呢？把钱的因素拿出去，你会称之为爱。）”

　　常斐然：“I would call it f*cking □□.（我会TM管叫这QJ。）”

　　Pukia被逗得哈哈大笑。

　　常斐然：“She's rich. She can get anyone she wants. Why it has to be here? Doing human trafficking? She can just sugar mommy one, or many.（她这么有钱，什么样的男人得不到？还用通过这里？通过人口贩卖？直接包养一个不就行了，或者多个？）”

　　Pukia：“Are you tempted?（你心动啦？）”

　　F*ck You.（去你的。）——这只是常斐然的内心台词。

　　Pukia：“It's faith. I told you.（是信仰啊，刚和你说了。）”

　　常斐然：“What does she need faith for? She's rich.（她这么有钱还需要信仰？）”

　　Pukia：“Money is evil. The greater the evil, the more one yearns for the light, and the more faithful one becomes.（金钱即罪恶。罪恶越深，人越渴望光明，也就变得越虔诚。）”
