夜深，我拖著疲憊身軀來到準備打烊的麵店。236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ63zI40ZINr
236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFvCsVVqXMD
「一碗淨麵。」236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkJTVv7cSq7
236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoSqXMBbvrA
老闆瞥了我一眼，不發一言，雙手來回忙著。236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxz5rSS6vmu
236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2tKM1DaRpM
他的臉色不大好看，正如我剛才點菜時的語氣也不禮貌。236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLmKMXkECp3
236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1OrYhId3Z0
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。236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBEsuE8pTlX
236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkoBYU5dYG7
火在燒，水在滾，麵在翻。心在跳，耳在聽，手在動。236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs2z95abryG
236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfXmhEmhqOD
各有前因，各有煩惱，毋須對號入座。236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡadEkiHcK6d
236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC3xje8HsAU
麵來了。236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡocg6exUmGZ
236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPx2fizyZty
名副其實的淨麵。沒有湯汁，沒有調味料，沒有配料。236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdVkHzTPXo3
236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAMmPYG4cHP
「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。236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmdvO4nvEfE
236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoWgHUPRlIj
「我不需要它好吃。」我低頭吃麵，心裡希望老闆閉嘴。236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLokPePenkY
236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeSTi4HZyOG
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。236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyVIEuB1wUd
236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL14Igo3Eff
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。」236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8LRyGBxp8e
236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvBLde9YY3a
「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。236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGaH7IIWJHh
236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3oL2FkMcw5
「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。236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOq5jsZQm1C
236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEmCfUWCiuD
「何以見得？」我的手不自覺退回來，想聽他說下去。236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3pnRpVsEod
236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhQhtirkVIZ
「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。236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM77VgdmkxU
236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfDduSaIO6K
「還以為服務業從業員都是笑臉迎人的！」我笑老闆過於主觀。236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzu0z5snTcY
236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7b0O9qvTZm
「你已然下班。」老闆眼神放軟，現出疲態：「累了，累得沒能假裝。」236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCbqcWQFAwA
236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0zGHTWKS44
「你想太多。」我假笑，再次將鈔票遞予老闆。236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmgXFrZSFWE
236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCjZuSorLAI
老闆點點頭，終於伸手接下鈔票，但沒有感謝我的惠顧。236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX7IFuv3P4p
236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwDp4XDHr0v
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。236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡasEJDqaiUA
236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuFPNT9mPjZ
心念電轉，靈光一閃，驀地抬頭。236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbFFrE4GzmI
236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2ST28JBFq1
算了吧。236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvieQogcnj1
236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqzjmhNeNTn
難得遇到一個敢於對客人板著臉的人。236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoIAheKqRY9
236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqtlp9YH5cH
我也想成為這樣的人。
