夜深，我拖著疲憊身軀來到準備打烊的麵店。275Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4nunnMHPjj
275Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvPwaDWTgnZ
「一碗淨麵。」275Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6J1suxCzIQ
275Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBHXD5UYogp
老闆瞥了我一眼，不發一言，雙手來回忙著。275Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS67u8YVkWX
275Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqi4E1AhC2c
他的臉色不大好看，正如我剛才點菜時的語氣也不禮貌。275Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw4SVroVpSu
275Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPLRwKYA40t
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。275Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8DzMs1ioQP
275Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmNmZFEvJjq
火在燒，水在滾，麵在翻。心在跳，耳在聽，手在動。275Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwI8GNuVIca
275Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGwAsmwXnYH
各有前因，各有煩惱，毋須對號入座。275Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIU9s9juug3
275Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUT7YGSPnre
麵來了。275Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfoPaw18kn0
275Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjJ8FBckMf6
名副其實的淨麵。沒有湯汁，沒有調味料，沒有配料。275Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEZZv7JkIic
275Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHqrxRXciSN
「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。275Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQWhG1DzAQx
275Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhMpwoEEhfk
「我不需要它好吃。」我低頭吃麵，心裡希望老闆閉嘴。275Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmAKqty7o16
275Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnM7nfY4JlL
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。275Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9tQzQ4kJlL
275Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIuJtBNiHzi
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。」275Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtN5bLMvHRU
275Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpPWlbSE1Ia
「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。275Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcNrzBrGfyd
275Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxQ1TcTZrQl
「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。275Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVKDwIWPQbM
275Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6x5ts2YyM2
「何以見得？」我的手不自覺退回來，想聽他說下去。275Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlEYZpBk8U3
275Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnK3FNFujPM
「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。275Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhOY8X2FCJe
275Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK21jjPDrtX
「還以為服務業從業員都是笑臉迎人的！」我笑老闆過於主觀。275Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp7X9phSOIv
275Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdUKMU52PJI
「你已然下班。」老闆眼神放軟，現出疲態：「累了，累得沒能假裝。」275Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUUvhUhY1KS
275Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPbXUzIA6Di
「你想太多。」我假笑，再次將鈔票遞予老闆。275Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlwgUHUEvHZ
275Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBR57QNdRZK
老闆點點頭，終於伸手接下鈔票，但沒有感謝我的惠顧。275Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ44Qk2zwZTH
275Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFM7srrWbVG
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。275Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2s6haq0k72
275Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡctQkh5I8cz
心念電轉，靈光一閃，驀地抬頭。275Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQhGy6w8Dq2
275Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVLZ0iNFN8N
算了吧。275Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtwOBK8bFOD
275Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA3wksyG0GT
難得遇到一個敢於對客人板著臉的人。275Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkBwqrL23Hn
275Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVZxxU7ylvu
我也想成為這樣的人。
