夜深，我拖著疲憊身軀來到準備打烊的麵店。281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIQhaOyjcxj
281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIi4Nsitt0Q
「一碗淨麵。」281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrlyl1bVYD1
281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu1xynU72FC
老闆瞥了我一眼，不發一言，雙手來回忙著。281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5h00aTw6IB
281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAGoxoZ8QkS
他的臉色不大好看，正如我剛才點菜時的語氣也不禮貌。281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5P10b6m3v9
281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFMEHcgeVs2
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。281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtrq2Yppsa5
281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlOotoEnb3Y
火在燒，水在滾，麵在翻。心在跳，耳在聽，手在動。281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW9EoOesCQL
281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAanH6ic2h2
各有前因，各有煩惱，毋須對號入座。281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡByyI1kFCGF
281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPYfIF1x58g
麵來了。281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfNm9PxgMXu
281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQIpJ5nsWrS
名副其實的淨麵。沒有湯汁，沒有調味料，沒有配料。281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXFfqjUvSPZ
281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDc237yfAD3
「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。281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhI2dWsLvMN
281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqZyb2ZLHd6
「我不需要它好吃。」我低頭吃麵，心裡希望老闆閉嘴。281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCl4RFIaEnL
281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtJcsRHzvIg
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。281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxC5iIf1Hwa
281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2jgT5Z7pAk
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。」281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUMrilv6g25
281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO9prC1YwSN
「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。281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5Oa9HVv3gd
281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFs10lmgb2C
「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。281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ24hDDQ4g3q
281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj6bVPtddlU
「何以見得？」我的手不自覺退回來，想聽他說下去。281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuuvd0gPIMq
281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ36lqJJbLNm
「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。281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1GVFbZ3T5K
281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMprSrjwWdi
「還以為服務業從業員都是笑臉迎人的！」我笑老闆過於主觀。281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8JwjWmN7l7
281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwG67rKKoHh
「你已然下班。」老闆眼神放軟，現出疲態：「累了，累得沒能假裝。」281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi9Cuqy7vlT
281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAIamO3V99g
「你想太多。」我假笑，再次將鈔票遞予老闆。281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfcd8p3Q9Rn
281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZn4M6JsTXa
老闆點點頭，終於伸手接下鈔票，但沒有感謝我的惠顧。281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKWYMWWniVm
281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSWERxds9Ad
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。281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy8wdsPiOyl
281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNb7o9i6Exh
心念電轉，靈光一閃，驀地抬頭。281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnh1sEczZWp
281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhouMMhcHyq
算了吧。281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5By1fvKcpo
281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjKZB49pZmo
難得遇到一個敢於對客人板著臉的人。281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZoM5cJ9GHK
281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXgwS1hFCuj
我也想成為這樣的人。
