夜深，我來到準備打烊的麵店。451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ22DnKlG2G8
451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5XJSqeESOR
「一碗淨麵。」451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcJwwpfT25q
451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT96OF8DOlo
老闆瞥了我一眼，不發一言，雙手來回忙著。451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYxuvY0ygUm
451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0v1xJStHLV
他的臉色不大好看，正如我剛才點菜時的語氣也不禮貌。451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGH85S7uN4Y
451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaO4ggienvT
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。各有前因，各有煩惱，毋須對號入座。451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTEJRDb7lDJ
451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbLBtHQmc7u
麵來了。451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKhvmeZrGPg
451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsXQnf2XbtI
名副其實的淨麵。沒有湯汁，沒有調味料，沒有配料。451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ36i4CItbzE
451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz9o4NBS4AZ
「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。451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXMcTqxdAl5
451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0EkvkZ4aXu
「我不需要它好吃。」我低頭吃麵，心裡希望老闆閉嘴。451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ2xLB6zXJd
451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIca9T9i0N2
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。451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdshI0S1l0h
451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt1Yi0pptoh
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。」451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcu4O0JLOaP
451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2n2Vnp4CXX
「有沒有甚麼特別發現？」我拿著鈔票的手沒有收回，繼續遞向老闆。451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjFNjcsI8qT
451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfMhoa0hVad
「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。451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6tC7lyq0tE
451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYc6VFmsVZa
「何以見得？」我的手不自覺退回來。451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPkaMb3a7Gu
451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡURwvsDGO33
「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。451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4akzgXQHXX
451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrEYGvBj0wS
「還以為服務業從業員都是笑臉迎人的！」我笑老闆過於主觀。451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVvIZc0zzvi
451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEqUwHMDbPb
「你已然下班。」老闆眼神放軟，狀甚憐惜：「你累了，累得沒能假裝。」451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL1Wi0Ypn1E
451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC5NTEoXAZR
「你想太多。」我假笑，再次將鈔票遞予老闆。451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAxHEmuZhzC
451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDLFl9wIREk
老闆點點頭，終於伸手接下鈔票，但沒有感謝我的惠顧。451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQIty1kmpBp
451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNJLbet0HeR
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。451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcEGrWGcJA3
451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhiyICTrAkf
心念電轉，靈光一閃，驀地抬頭。451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlU4WoipI7V
451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡovgDgYgiml
算了吧。451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡowRrReynK0
451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1RSZoMgtV8
難得遇到一個敢於對客人板著臉的老闆。
