夜深，我拖著疲憊身軀來到準備打烊的麵店。297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzz5sCyWs7a
297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqnNFU7MkX4
「一碗淨麵。」297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIafijQeeQ9
297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa2XU93ahdS
老闆瞥了我一眼，不發一言，雙手來回忙著。297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvbaniyFXB4
297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPAV6O7SOLU
他的臉色不大好看，正如我剛才點菜時的語氣也不禮貌。297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFBMjUYl1ly
297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD1RUxvFbpJ
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。297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3JLczjxyZN
297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6UfN4s5bxO
火在燒，水在滾，麵在翻。心在跳，耳在聽，手在動。297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk26EydzJuk
297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPql9ZeMYx7
各有前因，各有煩惱，毋須對號入座。297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQBkrNBVRKM
297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg5dbHsGHRr
麵來了。297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwv5z7N7pae
297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDp292C4eGB
名副其實的淨麵。沒有湯汁，沒有調味料，沒有配料。297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWvp6zacJvp
297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvwD4v5heBd
「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。297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaxXsw9nTR2
297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjlqTxsV7Ga
「我不需要它好吃。」我低頭吃麵，心裡希望老闆閉嘴。297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡANIrYxDGr6
297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaEbT9fq9sm
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。297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0dIt57AXhD
297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiBc2FOck2f
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。」297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRpKa7K48BE
297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpfI6Whlcb1
「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。297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwFl4Bb3KuC
297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUfwmsbclYs
「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。297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEs8HYEP1UU
297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZA1b5k1xnr
「何以見得？」我的手不自覺退回來，想聽他說下去。297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcabM8k499m
297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyD15mHHNkh
「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。297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvpeoh7d1Qe
297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0h1U40LX0d
「還以為服務業從業員都是笑臉迎人的！」我笑老闆過於主觀。297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFC8RkJBvFS
297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH0jYKKEoxL
「你已然下班。」老闆眼神放軟，現出疲態：「累了，累得沒能假裝。」297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8P9K2BCLw8
297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUN9NiTzUnq
「你想太多。」我假笑，再次將鈔票遞予老闆。297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJCbGFMUPEn
297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbJhsOuojTk
老闆點點頭，終於伸手接下鈔票，但沒有感謝我的惠顧。297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVSGOFJW37H
297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuEBL2BdV4q
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。297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQRBMrT9uDv
297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1Zsd5fReDl
心念電轉，靈光一閃，驀地抬頭。297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmjG7oi3R3X
297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgiWXmnpyER
算了吧。297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1osHcLFpXF
297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRe70nMbtfR
難得遇到一個敢於對客人板著臉的人。297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvOFLfxS1J2
297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG7ZQTlB0ay
我也想成為這樣的人。
