夜深，我拖著疲憊身軀來到準備打烊的麵店。326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeDyua3Cbhq
326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxlaeB5Xc4Z
「一碗淨麵。」326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0sL5QBjik2
326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrJu7OSRV2H
老闆瞥了我一眼，不發一言，雙手來回忙著。326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ36z2GyXdd9
326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDObSKVDlj4
他的臉色不大好看，正如我剛才點菜時的語氣也不禮貌。326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsThwtmn3k5
326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDO71oAmEYo
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。326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAB447coOFr
326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEGeIpPXnSp
火在燒，水在滾，麵在翻。心在跳，耳在聽，手在動。326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCru866Tkft
326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcqLvqNTWsX
各有前因，各有煩惱，毋須對號入座。326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX7bWW0YUt4
326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaLWvBa8vk1
麵來了。326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡswlVNFeBzj
326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8DT5I7lUbi
名副其實的淨麵。沒有湯汁，沒有調味料，沒有配料。326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4m5pEaeCnm
326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8nruWnZppJ
「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。326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC56TujIR5J
326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpxosw4e2p3
「我不需要它好吃。」我低頭吃麵，心裡希望老闆閉嘴。326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfII3t5R1ZR
326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfzjk2uYkEH
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。326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7GOetfyEud
326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi9gKbh1EsV
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。」326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡspIUgR3wTn
326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy3ccGQMzNX
「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。326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtJQYIWIhJg
326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4HuVWjVLDU
「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。326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXm1JTqAovD
326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlCejhymr8C
「何以見得？」我的手不自覺退回來，想聽他說下去。326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI6nu06DLgr
326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPxN61rewEb
「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。326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgf2L4VQoc3
326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkgaMfdB6Ob
「還以為服務業從業員都是笑臉迎人的！」我笑老闆過於主觀。326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAPolheVRli
326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqZxJB6K8BM
「你已然下班。」老闆眼神放軟，現出疲態：「累了，累得沒能假裝。」326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw36gVqOR5e
326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzky4nsKKdv
「你想太多。」我假笑，再次將鈔票遞予老闆。326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJvkEobVdyx
326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡebviqHE9dX
老闆點點頭，終於伸手接下鈔票，但沒有感謝我的惠顧。326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7fYPiVkOsY
326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuieqN7g9aW
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。326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1iCDTVPasa
326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF0qakJfBIA
心念電轉，靈光一閃，驀地抬頭。326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8SYbsCoZO7
326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3b64jc3Urg
算了吧。326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIAL18kB4TM
326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdEYGLwwsMb
難得遇到一個敢於對客人板著臉的人。326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt0QMfJuW9Z
326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuL9QxPJN4P
我也想成為這樣的人。
