夜深，我拖著疲憊身軀來到準備打烊的麵店。328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAdNTzn6w2T
328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0niVB2r4Gg
「一碗淨麵。」328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbOJNcxJ6r8
328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuIB7ydNn0a
老闆瞥了我一眼，不發一言，雙手來回忙著。328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHXfsBoejHd
328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbvrT6lcSjY
他的臉色不大好看，正如我剛才點菜時的語氣也不禮貌。328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnHc3dIQCoT
328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl5GXfoFJC6
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。328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLVAr8BnTtM
328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF9SaemHrqL
火在燒，水在滾，麵在翻。心在跳，耳在聽，手在動。328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPdNrcC2S92
328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqOEfKPvJp2
各有前因，各有煩惱，毋須對號入座。328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX6UVYXnsOT
328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL2E1lO4Ron
麵來了。328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuPZjFgQZNc
328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKFYn5I1B4F
名副其實的淨麵。沒有湯汁，沒有調味料，沒有配料。328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPc4auOhu6V
328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMnZayOYBB7
「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。328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuDMhNouU6L
328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRtqD8ycd8D
「我不需要它好吃。」我低頭吃麵，心裡希望老闆閉嘴。328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJHzWNPKRMD
328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXxawtakGEa
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。328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡouLSepVUHZ
328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK93gzoBmS3
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。」328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN53tZW05rT
328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPS8WhgH0Z7
「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。328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyRCymWdeDt
328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5VYFs619AS
「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。328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdQr4Zvtez5
328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjSt4gnmYN0
「何以見得？」我的手不自覺退回來，想聽他說下去。328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6dDxqwi9Ql
328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOFLwZ8sghO
「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。328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTTstbUs0ou
328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpALvKA5BJ4
「還以為服務業從業員都是笑臉迎人的！」我笑老闆過於主觀。328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡViBuFUF3ns
328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKHwMdXPkjb
「你已然下班。」老闆眼神放軟，現出疲態：「累了，累得沒能假裝。」328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡskntzNfYYA
328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYNEOfnpaZa
「你想太多。」我假笑，再次將鈔票遞予老闆。328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4XdNQ3tl7w
328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡICafOjX2hC
老闆點點頭，終於伸手接下鈔票，但沒有感謝我的惠顧。328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡECwHOaI7GE
328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFTFABzw9Xh
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。328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2Z4NPQuhNV
328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMGJdU3SXTE
心念電轉，靈光一閃，驀地抬頭。328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOsFZIBkkpG
328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwuXlvJAbT6
算了吧。328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4XAdamsA6e
328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKE9fX2Xfpu
難得遇到一個敢於對客人板著臉的人。328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6bqfc3GqVu
328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXl6dEyLKZr
我也想成為這樣的人。
