夜深，我拖著疲憊身軀來到準備打烊的麵店。280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnScjryFZJP
280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4J4kUSfvCZ
「一碗淨麵。」280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7CJyktzUET
280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqaaPU5XG5S
老闆瞥了我一眼，不發一言，雙手來回忙著。280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmZD4abw5q1
280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5bTpQ0E5Mp
他的臉色不大好看，正如我剛才點菜時的語氣也不禮貌。280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0c0w2iQTLX
280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjXtFppr3gw
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。280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFWes6PJDvk
280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM2KOQuzrxu
火在燒，水在滾，麵在翻。心在跳，耳在聽，手在動。280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5B23258z4i
280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq70fs40JdG
各有前因，各有煩惱，毋須對號入座。280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡleKdd3VPma
280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeiUu7XOCY6
麵來了。280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVPpOMu532g
280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSo5QwhtOGf
名副其實的淨麵。沒有湯汁，沒有調味料，沒有配料。280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRZ2HkYMfqd
280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWI9suQhuNh
「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。280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp2vCE0Gezq
280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq603v1VpBT
「我不需要它好吃。」我低頭吃麵，心裡希望老闆閉嘴。280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAYRZft59OE
280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbrak0Nw8PN
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。280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP5vAa0jP4k
280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKYGOCGLIqj
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。」280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBMhnzkUIPY
280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbA1hMujrkI
「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。280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAtMaEiQktW
280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo8FjCKV6Os
「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。280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkyklujB3cW
280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzoH33weBbJ
「何以見得？」我的手不自覺退回來，想聽他說下去。280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3UIgHAMt8f
280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCtUWTvHfiW
「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。280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrALal59yhM
280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd3xR73nd7j
「還以為服務業從業員都是笑臉迎人的！」我笑老闆過於主觀。280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyrI9zzygos
280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxpv05A94bE
「你已然下班。」老闆眼神放軟，現出疲態：「累了，累得沒能假裝。」280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbIf96xc20N
280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIFLmPzXMnH
「你想太多。」我假笑，再次將鈔票遞予老闆。280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2lWe1vEZhD
280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeO510FbsDU
老闆點點頭，終於伸手接下鈔票，但沒有感謝我的惠顧。280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwice0nXvQD
280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsQmdA3nee5
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。280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡICaySMFqJV
280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb6BuRYyyW6
心念電轉，靈光一閃，驀地抬頭。280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqeA9J7n3af
280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1NGTLV0t7I
算了吧。280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgUCDSGBClQ
280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRYJBYlghLL
難得遇到一個敢於對客人板著臉的人。280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMaPtr71Bhk
280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBHvLZHNVEk
我也想成為這樣的人。
