「自小經常遇到怪人。當中有男有女，性格迥異，唯一共通點是『老』。這麼形容似乎不太準確。其實我不知道他們的真實年齡，純粹覺得看來年紀大——對於一個小孩子，四十歲、五十歲、六十歲、七十歲的人看來分別不大。」382Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVMWdJGTOaW

長大後會跟身邊人分享遇上怪人經過。他問我為何不拒絕或不逃跑，我說感覺怪人沒有惡意。他問我如何肯定對方沒有惡意，我笑答單憑感覺。他先是一愣，後來輕嘆一聲：「物以類聚。」382Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmHE0RfOuSP
午餐時間。382Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKL57vJL7Sy
382Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXU4I1exXix
同學們問我要否一起用膳，我搖首婉拒，說有約在身。382Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnN3zlqpfs2

獨自前往茶餐廳，在向隅一張二人枱坐下。侍應給我兩杯淡茶，我說自己佔一座位而已。382Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFIuOI3d00I

點餐後五分鐘，熱騰騰的吉列豬扒飯到來。還沒吃上兩三口，一個不認識的大嬸坐到對面空位，同樣點了吉列豬扒飯。382Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuAX3DcVB1h
382Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjQqfOSM82d
數分鐘過去，她的午餐還沒到來。她瞄了瞄我的吉列豬扒飯，開始作怪。382Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtuQQvAwNXT
382Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ24aYwyzLc0
「好吃嗎？」382Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk7dpuT5Vs0
382Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6saql4L6GT
「嗯。」382Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ5EpDSHozb
382Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBl1gWzt66I
「你要多吃一些。你太瘦了！」382Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfHnKK8bjYt
382Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJb3vEJAm1X
「嗯。」382Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE7txo5Y1ma
382Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJyrn71TFbe
「不過下次千萬不要點『吉列』食物——你臉上已有很多暗瘡。」382Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCgtnlticyg
382Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa3KO5z5CzK
「嗯。」382Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0Zjszb59aq

「我告訴你一條清熱秘方吧！（一堆中草藥名字）在藥材店可以輕易買到。」382Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKb3O0W1o3p
382Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFIdOG1UouM
「嗯。」382Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb0ud0m29r3
382Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTagOTVxmtH
「要好好護理皮膚。說不定會隨時遇到真命天子！」382Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBNqr5I5G0L
382Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡksfXQlqmlW
「嗯。」382Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxQwdzCvauH

「丈夫數年前去世以後，我一直以為自己這種年紀、這種外貌該不會再遇到甚麼好人好事，誰料上個月……」382Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDRAowN3Fgv
382Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsRuFnQr1hl
她突然頓住。我知道她正在等待我作出反應，例如好奇追問或是報以微笑。我選擇後者——我對她的故事不感興趣，無法假裝好奇。382Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRVIgEImHAF
382Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkmZx05lfY5
「誰料上個月在社區中心遇到他！他前天還邀請我周末一起飲茶！」382Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHUYcL4UlEm

「真好。」382Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkuMUQajeOH

同枱十五分鐘，這是我第一次給予正式回應，順道仔細打量大嬸。382Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL7GmPAVpMX
382Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsCuKbztURv
平平無奇的中年大嬸。樣子不美不醜，身材不肥不瘦不高不矮，衣著不新潮亦不土氣。過目即忘那一類。382Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMzLYaxNFeK
382Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7fHNIMHkcB
「對啊！我真的很高興！」382Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK8KRUimqa6
382Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvpSGc69BZY
「嗯。」382Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcYGuX8T8yI
382Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhiaGL9ogHe
我再次冷對大嬸。因為她根本不在意我是否在意——她只需一雙願意聆聽的耳朵。382Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2Li8qnYwam
382Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUnVaHY2tEh
我願意借她一對耳朵，聽聽她無處可訴的快樂。382Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHMgycScJHQ
他說我奇怪，怎麼會聽陌生人說心事。382Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLUMpoF7rnB
382Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8dGKtsDPrL
我笑，為他未嘗寂寞滋味而高興。382Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxB7rsDn61d
382Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlLqMHYVyP1
「謝謝你聽我說怪人的故事。」382Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb5HpfIto3h
382Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKHA0wdo7wa
「別客氣，怪人。」
