夜深，我拖著疲憊身軀來到準備打烊的麵店。273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ57UsLYkSx
273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSrs91CDKeb
「一碗淨麵。」273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaVy0gPLXSQ
273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXQiCdeEqH9
老闆瞥了我一眼，不發一言，雙手來回忙著。273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaEwz5CSVas
273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxuoGgnusUt
他的臉色不大好看，正如我剛才點菜時的語氣也不禮貌。273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz9jhLPCA6u
273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZnATZZUrqd
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。273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5yUrVQgyYN
273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJCINaY07D7
火在燒，水在滾，麵在翻。心在跳，耳在聽，手在動。273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdY304OnZlw
273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqZ3wDulg07
各有前因，各有煩惱，毋須對號入座。273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv1PVS1eXIQ
273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCxNWTN7p84
麵來了。273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqxmY9b8gLl
273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM96HsfQaS4
名副其實的淨麵。沒有湯汁，沒有調味料，沒有配料。273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNybNEw3ZuJ
273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFH7eM0Ay70
「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。273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXdZiWGOgee
273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6za91tC0bI
「我不需要它好吃。」我低頭吃麵，心裡希望老闆閉嘴。273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7EcX3Lkb2a
273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhFxhLHd8zW
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。273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPEg0nzh1Hl
273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuj9kypN8dU
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。」273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrzvOSdkPQq
273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3llYhIV8KU
「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。273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIQJReXxdou
273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaaaOJrlcgN
「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。273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgjUXGr5jHi
273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaBfGIDqKK0
「何以見得？」我的手不自覺退回來，想聽他說下去。273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq2XQcnbROt
273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuYaAkyKuP0
「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。273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6k5Rf80Khx
273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCvMhLWeK8I
「還以為服務業從業員都是笑臉迎人的！」我笑老闆過於主觀。273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6HdYX6VFCR
273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFvi7gaSdbH
「你已然下班。」老闆眼神放軟，現出疲態：「累了，累得沒能假裝。」273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbgKsCiyS4Y
273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpdk8tbQ7CX
「你想太多。」我假笑，再次將鈔票遞予老闆。273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKaAz1mTBXB
273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQoiczMrQOr
老闆點點頭，終於伸手接下鈔票，但沒有感謝我的惠顧。273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsAlhMGmrSB
273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfQOKNUhHZ5
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。273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvJZDFXkrl4
273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6ScP94Ykom
心念電轉，靈光一閃，驀地抬頭。273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk7XignRUiV
273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7baGbX2Opp
算了吧。273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTCoOkti8rT
273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFHTb0E0y1W
難得遇到一個敢於對客人板著臉的人。273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7SVCASX0h1
273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbgbvzFnp7I
我也想成為這樣的人。
