夜深，我拖著疲憊身軀來到準備打烊的麵店。290Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkxnPoQzY6E
290Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCeh4UN4Tpb
「一碗淨麵。」290Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfmQHcfxPtJ
290Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEzdiBW8pla
老闆瞥了我一眼，不發一言，雙手來回忙著。290Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhlYlDPFsmn
290Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCqWVIFufwL
他的臉色不大好看，正如我剛才點菜時的語氣也不禮貌。290Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKnMNlLDTdP
290Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4LdwItpVgX
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。290Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDXgmNXMiMl
290Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPiKyCluVad
火在燒，水在滾，麵在翻。心在跳，耳在聽，手在動。290Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ3lZEDx58l
290Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4WT6B9Zwd9
各有前因，各有煩惱，毋須對號入座。290Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1vEVCBixUT
290Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ57cb7PIiB
麵來了。290Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPH63YSFsBT
290Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBSJt5cUN8O
名副其實的淨麵。沒有湯汁，沒有調味料，沒有配料。290Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNJ2ggjQ6WO
290Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVyzp9CsjZK
「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。290Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpKZK4k9Yyu
290Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHkK8hn9y8i
「我不需要它好吃。」我低頭吃麵，心裡希望老闆閉嘴。290Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7v6236PsKd
290Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZNAQSLM6y6
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。290Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSrDsAO2HfC
290Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr4nNwi74T2
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。」290Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEHg0WIUkkH
290Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYIFWanL0mx
「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。290Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg2hluoEnsP
290Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgPRzjgvsKz
「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。290Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1lmRjoTWSN
290Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9uuUZrxCOt
「何以見得？」我的手不自覺退回來，想聽他說下去。290Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFpO0LbyUYI
290Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHYvOh71G5e
「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。290Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtVz4FIIUkr
290Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxMJaGol2Xl
「還以為服務業從業員都是笑臉迎人的！」我笑老闆過於主觀。290Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsgTkJ8x6sZ
290Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxWHXknHCRz
「你已然下班。」老闆眼神放軟，現出疲態：「累了，累得沒能假裝。」290Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJOzRYpP0lk
290Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIuAEBiyKu7
「你想太多。」我假笑，再次將鈔票遞予老闆。290Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWLncc7lsNn
290Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZFZ0hxOihm
老闆點點頭，終於伸手接下鈔票，但沒有感謝我的惠顧。290Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQoAqCUvpp4
290Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv9a4NI3dHR
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。290Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX7qTOZDMYX
290Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnchflTkAZ9
心念電轉，靈光一閃，驀地抬頭。290Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4Ezs2llzUT
290Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMLQsMR0usx
算了吧。290Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI57BNRISTM
290Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSpaDRg3HOQ
難得遇到一個敢於對客人板著臉的人。290Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcTsDfdOqBg
290Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC28M0Dfi8L
我也想成為這樣的人。
