夜深，我拖著疲憊身軀來到準備打烊的麵店。315Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4fClXE4Zl5
315Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM4usYSBjQk
「一碗淨麵。」315Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXak3XuiAUI
315Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjH6Od7iR47
老闆瞥了我一眼，不發一言，雙手來回忙著。315Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqxmxhKu7Ff
315Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTQUI9VLR52
他的臉色不大好看，正如我剛才點菜時的語氣也不禮貌。315Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYVYguH6Vf3
315Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHZAglevwfg
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。315Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkAHLPoIJCd
315Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1fw1sOWeHV
火在燒，水在滾，麵在翻。心在跳，耳在聽，手在動。315Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiDv44huYMW
315Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC8FREOV5Qb
各有前因，各有煩惱，毋須對號入座。315Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX9ITrRQJBc
315Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvfXVH0uO0L
麵來了。315Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2tPDyYyrwO
315Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3zje69GBTM
名副其實的淨麵。沒有湯汁，沒有調味料，沒有配料。315Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZWlHXQUWb1
315Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7s8fKce9XD
「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。315Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyKeth3qiQV
315Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsqzdeE32gP
「我不需要它好吃。」我低頭吃麵，心裡希望老闆閉嘴。315Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgiEzDhmmSF
315Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBV5PELiCwV
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。315Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEEyvXBqQe8
315Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkXzGQlZ0QF
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。」315Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCV1CtiNOr7
315Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCJTgrX8lth
「有沒有甚麼特別發現？」我拿著鈔票的手沒有收回，定在空中伸向老闆。315Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB0ajvyjzbT
315Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL3LYcZTCIM
「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。315Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqj6RCPtaMQ
315Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2ozKe5ORPn
「何以見得？」我的手不自覺退回來，想聽他說下去。315Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkWDfY7eX85
315Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF8Ngvi0ijU
「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。315Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNaxni2h4lr
315Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhHO2EWKccK
「還以為服務業從業員都是笑臉迎人的！」我笑老闆過於主觀。315Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCep7nKqTDi
315Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡojSmeaaQ11
「你已然下班。」老闆眼神放軟，現出疲態：「累了，累得沒能假裝。」315Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpxwz3v3ozz
315Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN0wkqX3FkX
「你想太多。」我假笑，再次將鈔票遞予老闆。315Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ0DGtD2J4k
315Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXYTOw2L7Fc
老闆點點頭，終於伸手接下鈔票，但沒有感謝我的惠顧。315Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzmF4AkYShW
315Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM42mmL8a48
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。315Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1ZLTepRPSh
315Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI90X4S0Gnr
心念電轉，靈光一閃，驀地抬頭。315Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvmHkPfjR1Y
315Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIZR5armK09
算了吧。315Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNbue34nFVO
315Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSlQVpChv3R
難得遇到一個敢於對客人板著臉的人。315Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPkoCxZxmoj
315Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvQ7tFl4Odh
我也想成為這樣的人。
