夜深，我來到準備打烊的麵店。483Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd4O9yYG7vk
483Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRKiYsXKzNw
「一碗淨麵。」483Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjpYaJj7nEU
483Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqVWnR5FGq5
老闆瞥了我一眼，不發一言，雙手來回忙著。483Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcvP4R7bikI
483Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5RopYdi8ki
他的臉色不大好看，正如我剛才點菜時的語氣也不禮貌。483Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPpWXGwiwFc
483Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSCvz9dywoD
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。483Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0W0HxVQZe5
483Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuk2E1pyiAX
麵來了。483Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBWag0evwWH
483Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡByXf8TSVaE
名副其實的淨麵。沒有湯汁，沒有調味料，沒有配料。483Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMBnOBuoWx3
483Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0hCujpzsfT
「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。483Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhf07bxC4yh
483Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFygXAi7PKa
「我不需要它好吃。」我低頭吃麵，心裡希望老闆閉嘴。483Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOYxnvAmBuM
483Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCUjkOqLKUd
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。483Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVnkz11HfDN
483Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡog6SmqAjPC
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。」483Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfN4PAIWKPq
483Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2WPSp4jKFc
「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。483Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWLs9b7NVZ8
483Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoj3vlnDRxn
「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。483Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJmVXMm8rnI
483Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFQSmhPgjjd
「何以見得？」我的手不自覺退回來。483Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaUUGchzw24
483Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpU5einWHv5
「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。483Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLN1MsOrZID
483Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOcgErCvcop
「還以為服務業從業員都是笑臉迎人的！」我笑老闆過於主觀。483Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡarH45jNVI7
483Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyVSqYEgaVl
「你已然下班。」老闆眼神放軟，狀甚憐惜：「你累了，累得沒能假裝。」483Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKW3CPbvT3W
483Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKBIHCjySL7
「你想太多。」我假笑，再次將鈔票遞予老闆。483Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoAWMQ1z1El
483Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsvn2YiZLoy
老闆點點頭，終於伸手接下鈔票，但沒有感謝我的惠顧。483Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8LowYsp8o1
483Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8jCFBGVaaC
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。483Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡszHOPDTTdQ
483Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8SqHU6LDSX
心念電轉，靈光一閃，驀地抬頭。483Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIighzSWbEK
483Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdrL0yy0QsK
算了吧。483Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwByQBjjily
483Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0S6fsT2lpI
難得遇到一個敢於對客人板著臉的老闆。
