夜深，我來到準備打烊的麵店。414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL0VZ7Zkmfi
414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJbwPS8GqET
「一碗淨麵。」414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9BpBJR0qrM
414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN7WbwNtPNB
老闆瞥了我一眼，不發一言，雙手來回忙著。414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs0zxWu6GWv
414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2ovmYUdlRY
他的臉色不大好看，正如我剛才點菜時的語氣也不禮貌。414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHuLXTtjTn7
414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡChF6kebGIX
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。414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzKfq4H5YbL
414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOQM1nCnY2k
麵來了。414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgQKKoR0Xej
414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmsldyvxPf1
名副其實的淨麵。沒有湯汁，沒有調味料，沒有配料。414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe2Q6AonNXd
414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg4M7JPJRc3
「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。414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBL9nnEZwZC
414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZV6mp8xpE7
「我不需要它好吃。」我低頭吃麵，心裡希望老闆閉嘴。414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMZzp4EW1mC
414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnY6gDHCuhs
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。414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA1mEGd9UlZ
414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡks7VjdpHvr
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。」414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVLqMTgnItV
414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe2p6j3sZks
「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。414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh2PfnL1E4J
414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz4w4l00u0j
「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。414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJarLqD3mlQ
414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4bwsLoEZ7X
「何以見得？」我的手不自覺退回來。414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2Lo3F63NiU
414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡftJEkm0v1P
「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。414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYh2PFFjwS0
414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPWE0Kqq4zA
「還以為服務業從業員都是笑臉迎人的！」我笑老闆過於主觀。414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxO5QwrPbf5
414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLgVX2qLhKP
「你已然下班。」老闆眼神放軟，狀甚憐惜：「你累了，累得沒能假裝。」414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW5GnGImigN
414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVZhJde6rKs
「你想太多。」我假笑，再次將鈔票遞予老闆。414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM8qoJmcEzQ
414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzdNkVWXUgw
老闆點點頭，終於伸手接下鈔票，但沒有感謝我的惠顧。414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBo4WTyu7Kc
414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLZnqiQ4Llf
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。414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRMoEANQBu8
414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfsYOLsM6Up
心念電轉，靈光一閃，驀地抬頭。414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9aU3y5lMXg
414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyAxuw7K8Ae
算了吧。414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLh9dmYcUO7
414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ8QLefcLOy
難得遇到一個敢於對客人板著臉的老闆。
