夜深，我來到準備打烊的麵店。507Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvs9dGvDemI
507Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡARrdL9a32U
「一碗淨麵。」507Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1IswjJ1d7H
507Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqlMr0iRBG7
老闆瞥了我一眼，不發一言，雙手來回忙著。507Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGMPq0IXONj
507Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAS4lIyoG7a
他的臉色不大好看，正如我剛才點菜時的語氣也不禮貌。507Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWLYbo60hR9
507Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡERTu6xUrUu
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。507Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3DgQy7QU0f
507Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7czWi5RQJb
麵來了。507Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2nfFYimPEL
507Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB780MH5Gj0
名副其實的淨麵。沒有湯汁，沒有調味料，沒有配料。507Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEgffL6xKiB
507Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfDrPbm0wcF
「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。507Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqLNJ4fMwQs
507Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrhpEvWM3Ox
「我不需要它好吃。」我低頭吃麵，心裡希望老闆閉嘴。507Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2XdG6E6XXH
507Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgkFjgSED9M
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。507Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfOBsWeGq4M
507Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIEQfOkTkKu
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。」507Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKBuK3mHmRo
507Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡylR0OsKkio
「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。507Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJS5V9mteIj
507Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1a8gjsNWfE
「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。507Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRTJo6WafyS
507Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNo7WcwxIAa
「何以見得？」我的手不自覺退回來。507Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF1lqwGLaAR
507Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX4BpbxxDDz
「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。507Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRgg6NTAImo
507Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbQDl9P5hPm
「還以為服務業從業員都是笑臉迎人的！」我笑老闆過於主觀。507Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0TYqz6Q1uF
507Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ07n7KBCJsp
「你已然下班。」老闆眼神放軟，狀甚憐惜：「你累了，累得沒能假裝。」507Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg8V8CHUXKt
507Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNkztkVaPq5
「你想太多。」我假笑，再次將鈔票遞予老闆。507Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSWZK1PUF3O
507Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKUznjAtabD
老闆點點頭，終於伸手接下鈔票，但沒有感謝我的惠顧。507Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCcjsMaU7it
507Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvn4ii2nqHC
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。507Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxRQM47hVbf
507Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7OzjLoDhYA
心念電轉，靈光一閃，驀地抬頭。507Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0FZNs16OYe
507Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8o2seUruXO
算了吧。507Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdbIl6dM2Y4
507Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ96sc6asGnj
難得遇到一個敢於對客人板著臉的老闆。
