夜深，我拖著疲憊身軀來到準備打烊的麵店。282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb30hUZWApl
282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOiB9Owl7Jt
「一碗淨麵。」282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2lpDDTnOk4
282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmlo36HiYxi
老闆瞥了我一眼，不發一言，雙手來回忙著。282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZXFLsaTNsp
282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfA0Av3mDjf
他的臉色不大好看，正如我剛才點菜時的語氣也不禮貌。282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZv25Y5mTtG
282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaqP4ibetEF
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。282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK050cEBul8
282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLXCeigISFx
火在燒，水在滾，麵在翻。心在跳，耳在聽，手在動。282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8fRNSX9Imk
282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUxzoyXUYki
各有前因，各有煩惱，毋須對號入座。282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgdIXmde9Ph
282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡByoiKxoDFu
麵來了。282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS1PmWFpAlq
282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡinJZi62Jbb
名副其實的淨麵。沒有湯汁，沒有調味料，沒有配料。282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKIyfCBz2Qx
282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ99TYhKCzpf
「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。282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvRqqEXMda4
282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoge2vsKFcm
「我不需要它好吃。」我低頭吃麵，心裡希望老闆閉嘴。282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqsYHt1APkG
282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtiO32HB3qu
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。282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKTMRjR5qjj
282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0awlCuwETj
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。」282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9ZWV3Sfoq2
282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUfC0xrfWGH
「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。282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3OfgaN44Kj
282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7HXo9x8fa3
「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。282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0q22rOqipq
282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDBqHnilPPe
「何以見得？」我的手不自覺退回來，想聽他說下去。282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4IURzVGElz
282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHUG2pwpz7L
「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。282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb7xlymIt50
282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoOnzjBaTWY
「還以為服務業從業員都是笑臉迎人的！」我笑老闆過於主觀。282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrliQHsw9qO
282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVhYZMGQUG5
「你已然下班。」老闆眼神放軟，現出疲態：「累了，累得沒能假裝。」282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTH7QwS3KkH
282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFpyEglSdNl
「你想太多。」我假笑，再次將鈔票遞予老闆。282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMeDVn3s1NV
282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjwgLVp6seR
老闆點點頭，終於伸手接下鈔票，但沒有感謝我的惠顧。282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9XZDSrQgMu
282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF9N5xgtRPN
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。282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡepbPGNwCqV
282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡub0HKviAKF
心念電轉，靈光一閃，驀地抬頭。282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOHDOTbwRnJ
282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPVLsYJyKrv
算了吧。282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV9NrGGnpgJ
282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡihrht6r1F3
難得遇到一個敢於對客人板著臉的人。282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA86JRJ70q4
282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3q8X5eCUon
我也想成為這樣的人。
