夜深，我拖著疲憊身軀來到準備打烊的麵店。239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTvVpoRCDrR
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdHU1ekP67N
「一碗淨麵。」239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA3H5kL4Pvv
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHEcpxWv4G0
老闆瞥了我一眼，不發一言，雙手來回忙著。239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEBKjaGwLen
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCHRsFhGo0V
他的臉色不大好看，正如我剛才點菜時的語氣也不禮貌。239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW4DPtxsS0t
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5LQkg3Gd7m
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。239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7J0OceAIGz
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy3G3EHXqlK
火在燒，水在滾，麵在翻。心在跳，耳在聽，手在動。239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzT46rj9p9N
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlE3EgwRnAn
各有前因，各有煩惱，毋須對號入座。239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd4OxiM6AkF
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWtrLpN7LCI
麵來了。239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzML2j7XUOk
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7uu2j3YOQP
名副其實的淨麵。沒有湯汁，沒有調味料，沒有配料。239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsyWfJ4RlBv
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeUcc8KWMzq
「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。239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI7f3qONJbl
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJc99IzqoPz
「我不需要它好吃。」我低頭吃麵，心裡希望老闆閉嘴。239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrrGn0EI4VX
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvXx006sChN
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。239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCF55hCuVhY
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzlbL09v528
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。」239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPMm7fKd7MW
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdoiJWQmY6H
「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。239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz7ECk03vu0
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡie7dtw5qrw
「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。239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWnfMofoQZ5
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkDra1aSNCA
「何以見得？」我的手不自覺退回來，想聽他說下去。239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzRxQlWOPDm
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6FlxQGDH8h
「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。239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2z36y20w2V
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD78aHkAFJD
「還以為服務業從業員都是笑臉迎人的！」我笑老闆過於主觀。239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJfdd8ypQCi
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPTwwqVZgQr
「你已然下班。」老闆眼神放軟，現出疲態：「累了，累得沒能假裝。」239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMTG4AuiUdm
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNJYQbNQzTh
「你想太多。」我假笑，再次將鈔票遞予老闆。239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuJB5rQbIzx
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsDWtPeq9jT
老闆點點頭，終於伸手接下鈔票，但沒有感謝我的惠顧。239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoYD8xDKdIe
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPMuSRTLjhJ
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。239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRa7xDuFh36
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhcvnECwBSu
心念電轉，靈光一閃，驀地抬頭。239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiQ7zjAmXSU
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7inBloysKW
算了吧。239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKJHsuVbfMU
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm0FSWaq4M3
難得遇到一個敢於對客人板著臉的人。239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFSIayJF6XZ
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡowkAPvZYlb
我也想成為這樣的人。
