夜深，我來到準備打烊的麵店。509Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfLI3RkNJG0
509Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa7P47fv6LK
「一碗淨麵。」509Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZiYGWWd5Xd
509Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7iKjbCiq2t
老闆瞥了我一眼，不發一言，雙手來回忙著。509Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm82yg1NpTW
509Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtvgcH4d8r4
他的臉色不大好看，正如我剛才點菜時的語氣也不禮貌。509Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPV9NR7YXnE
509Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJPCg9LObFc
我知道兩者沒有關連，他板著臉並非因為我的不禮貌，我的不禮貌並非因為他板著臉。各有前因，各有煩惱，毋須對號入座。509Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPDEHw2OVJT
509Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjDkPLX2bxA
麵來了。509Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu5fiS50C7U
509Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXfHS8vgfd7
名副其實的淨麵。沒有湯汁，沒有調味料，沒有配料。509Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGuTTu0BlkO
509Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9aiJ9FfNjp
「有可能好吃嗎？」老闆的臉色依然玄青，聲調卻是淡然如水，不含惡意。509Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjcKCG3ctoz
509Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ37EBJJvcbO
「我不需要它好吃。」我低頭吃麵，心裡希望老闆閉嘴。509Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaw1wLlXn3B
509Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK7qy6uuHS8
也許老闆不知道該如何接話，僅是站在原地，默默看我將淨麵吃清光。509Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdVhFwbaveD
509Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwsqxqtuDwJ
我掏出銀包取鈔票，老闆突然又開口：「你光顧這店不下百次，每次只點一碗淨麵。由於這種吃法太奇怪，我早在你光顧的第十次已然開始留意你。」509Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiHkuqM4ocg
509Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLgnf2ZKPYp
「有沒有甚麼特別發現？」我拿著鈔票的手沒有收回，繼續遞向老闆。509Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfVDNyTbSvO
509Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr8QkYNTuRb
「你從事服務業。」老闆有意無意地交叉雙手架在胸前，沒有接過鈔票。509Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ142uh2anGf
509Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCk8E0D64cP
「何以見得？」我的手不自覺退回來。509Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcJXbUU8x32
509Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa3RgqBkeNC
「每次你的臉色不大好看，語氣也不禮貌，就像一碗淨麵。」老闆毫不客氣。509Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF7zR1Yuxw3
509Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCBqi8chPlx
「還以為服務業從業員都是笑臉迎人的！」我笑老闆過於主觀。509Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq77LhVm79F
509Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa5uqpNUj1F
「你已然下班。」老闆眼神放軟，狀甚憐惜：「你累了，累得沒能假裝。」509Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ475rR3iNGn
509Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6Prq29huOM
「你想太多。」我假笑，再次將鈔票遞予老闆。509Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMJURwzS7Y1
509Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSHK9H5KTFx
老闆點點頭，終於伸手接下鈔票，但沒有感謝我的惠顧。509Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhEpi2pfcay
509Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrxPYB7uOZ4
我走出麵店，猶豫要不要繼續光顧這麵店——被看穿心思的感覺令我很不安、很難受。509Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGxnbjikNdl
509Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqBA2eaOnge
心念電轉，靈光一閃，驀地抬頭。509Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgbDjPjkHx0
509Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnI6KX0b1fc
算了吧。509Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPcuGpeyX7N
509Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuxteqF4jOu
難得遇到一個敢於對客人板著臉的老闆。
