夜深，我來到準備打烊的麵店。429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDoTTeiGteN
429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqpjnB5QwQ0
「一碗淨麵。」429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4UY07anNxf
429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqu1eiUSrnH
老闆瞥了我一眼，不發一言，雙手來回忙著。429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvHYRciEh0z
429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2G5D6TX2Fm
他的臉色不大好看，正如我剛才點菜時的語氣也不禮貌。429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMDVNKowrtr
429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb9Tv3iG34S
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。各有前因，各有煩惱，毋須對號入座。429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwqAsF5EHS2
429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYEDMi98dZa
麵來了。429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiDCO8T00xT
429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbgYF0AkqPv
名副其實的淨麵。沒有湯汁，沒有調味料，沒有配料。429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdaR2XRoVaR
429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ87tVsyIOy6
「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。429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU3ZWk2Fcqx
429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfG2dVqRvjs
「我不需要它好吃。」我低頭吃麵，心裡希望老闆閉嘴。429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr27S1X2Fwm
429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCSLmvKhCAY
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。429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEwPhtsI0Ng
429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo3OtEANjZM
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。」429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuceBq1yDWl
429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaM2SKFBXH8
「有沒有甚麼特別發現？」我拿著鈔票的手沒有收回，繼續遞向老闆。429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNbfR6bxdUI
429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNMuNqafgWu
「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。429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCIaTUyyM0n
429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrhTM3FLmgV
「何以見得？」我的手不自覺退回來。429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN4XUNBD1uk
429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7yp1rwE0tX
「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。429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0mxbYcilum
429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgF5d3B3CM1
「還以為服務業從業員都是笑臉迎人的！」我笑老闆過於主觀。429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjloxVvb5Iv
429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHw13TGPN6n
「你已然下班。」老闆眼神放軟，狀甚憐惜：「你累了，累得沒能假裝。」429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrP5sr5btiF
429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIWWr9rPfVW
「你想太多。」我假笑，再次將鈔票遞予老闆。429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1xj3v8nilA
429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUSdTBcm3YT
老闆點點頭，終於伸手接下鈔票，但沒有感謝我的惠顧。429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7SlyEFyI5I
429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡga5kl7PZWj
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。429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqQEenxunqt
429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGwNfdGb0us
心念電轉，靈光一閃，驀地抬頭。429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVll8Lls9q4
429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF2H3DHWmns
算了吧。429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ18eNK8UTGQ
429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8FIm9fM8GG
難得遇到一個敢於對客人板著臉的老闆。
