夜深，我拖著疲憊身軀來到準備打烊的麵店。262Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjj7YsPvq3i
262Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVkw74tqI5S
「一碗淨麵。」262Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4de7XeH51g
262Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0V3TVKZMh6
老闆瞥了我一眼，不發一言，雙手來回忙著。262Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL6IBIgWGXs
262Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡexyWVm48s7
他的臉色不大好看，正如我剛才點菜時的語氣也不禮貌。262Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7cwIgEk7kQ
262Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYsrgEM2Bo5
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。262Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6llBU9uKee
262Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhnAOM6XIqv
火在燒，水在滾，麵在翻。心在跳，耳在聽，手在動。262Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1uPfbtUmOk
262Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ77tCK7ZnTq
各有前因，各有煩惱，毋須對號入座。262Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKcaBbOpJBJ
262Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3mJblL3dwh
麵來了。262Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbAHFsXCfTc
262Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjh1iuJuExl
名副其實的淨麵。沒有湯汁，沒有調味料，沒有配料。262Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ8BP8UafGn
262Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡohkiDRVzuL
「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。262Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPeHR9IAUlA
262Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTFGRzZ6nfl
「我不需要它好吃。」我低頭吃麵，心裡希望老闆閉嘴。262Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv8WCcF59kq
262Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1zfOL9zfWA
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。262Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQl9d0nXSzw
262Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJmwi3Dh4UO
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。」262Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTCpOfLt24c
262Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeZeP82CdNI
「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。262Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuGYrCW1VX1
262Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsbycy6RFXh
「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。262Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrrNJWznY7S
262Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdC71JIdBGy
「何以見得？」我的手不自覺退回來，想聽他說下去。262Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTlIN6Fatuu
262Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4JwJGw0X9p
「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。262Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4FtI20snIV
262Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMX01k8eWBk
「還以為服務業從業員都是笑臉迎人的！」我笑老闆過於主觀。262Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMNq5th2K7s
262Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpqYHL4zJe6
「你已然下班。」老闆眼神放軟，現出疲態：「累了，累得沒能假裝。」262Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNkRNsLVvpz
262Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgLNdrns9OU
「你想太多。」我假笑，再次將鈔票遞予老闆。262Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡERGsEBfRc3
262Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJPAVNFcYFk
老闆點點頭，終於伸手接下鈔票，但沒有感謝我的惠顧。262Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0yE5GLgbTO
262Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡza1OBjwRuI
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。262Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCSxFgfYlLv
262Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡutsf90IVc2
心念電轉，靈光一閃，驀地抬頭。262Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTnQT3mArUw
262Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm7uWC47swk
算了吧。262Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiMUwxm8dGv
262Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡORWiE0KCBb
難得遇到一個敢於對客人板著臉的人。262Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsC3OMRuBFR
262Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTzwb3dQpb6
我也想成為這樣的人。
