夜深，我拖著疲憊身軀來到準備打烊的麵店。276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaUt8Hy3BFq
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR1I5rfrrcq
「一碗淨麵。」276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2KEhJZtQOg
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnkyxn8eLNx
老闆瞥了我一眼，不發一言，雙手來回忙著。276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEm6n0tMdhH
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOBykjNviJL
他的臉色不大好看，正如我剛才點菜時的語氣也不禮貌。276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ2s6YhOMbL
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHDKQCT3Avk
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。276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoq0wSNxA7M
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzbriKOrn7B
火在燒，水在滾，麵在翻。心在跳，耳在聽，手在動。276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoCkYeGBaBe
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx717YR7fdE
各有前因，各有煩惱，毋須對號入座。276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1er6wNsCWd
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8mR7mnL04J
麵來了。276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOOl1zEs0O7
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwMpGG0Fzqz
名副其實的淨麵。沒有湯汁，沒有調味料，沒有配料。276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnH2aLXSqpN
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSo0yiwaFOe
「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。276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxdIuuGfxmi
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOqGTvBtJ9I
「我不需要它好吃。」我低頭吃麵，心裡希望老闆閉嘴。276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbQBrm7hboC
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGj6qsg53Wm
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。276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGWGSMEjraD
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4lWoaDcrwK
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。」276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO2QjWGPaIZ
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRyHIcMVfPP
「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。276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkNA8dmF3J1
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEWFekitbPm
「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。276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ265vmpa2cU
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSIEoYtCEXW
「何以見得？」我的手不自覺退回來，想聽他說下去。276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxSMyipNeAI
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXktPLP2non
「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。276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxiXszXyKUd
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPDYmLgOMTA
「還以為服務業從業員都是笑臉迎人的！」我笑老闆過於主觀。276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb9DIFj7YSS
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbE5fk1dyZi
「你已然下班。」老闆眼神放軟，現出疲態：「累了，累得沒能假裝。」276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzM7RgLNgET
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡimZJOyj49u
「你想太多。」我假笑，再次將鈔票遞予老闆。276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmfVsPA2WBm
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi6AAlZ6FPf
老闆點點頭，終於伸手接下鈔票，但沒有感謝我的惠顧。276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5iCvL4QlA0
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkUW2OIgNYS
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。276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWP6jNmdBQc
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE8pE6GuyEk
心念電轉，靈光一閃，驀地抬頭。276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjD7ZRJJcty
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhdUBrkYtYc
算了吧。276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWoRkR6wsw5
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXzRiRH7ysz
難得遇到一個敢於對客人板著臉的人。276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8cClsRHPLE
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6Tq6mgTCwQ
我也想成為這樣的人。
