夜深，我拖著疲憊身軀來到準備打烊的麵店。270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7IZjzlwVBh
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4bpeHlw1R0
「一碗淨麵。」270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWiwCrtavjc
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcEImaQaSUl
老闆瞥了我一眼，不發一言，雙手來回忙著。270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2KBbgajc9V
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1s6Sbp6T8M
他的臉色不大好看，正如我剛才點菜時的語氣也不禮貌。270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe54vtk2UK5
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuPc0IFMCZq
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。270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHie2PqAXPQ
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyyzvQmTcEG
火在燒，水在滾，麵在翻。心在跳，耳在聽，手在動。270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlC3ziGgXxl
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH644wgJB2t
各有前因，各有煩惱，毋須對號入座。270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgODqAJYE3J
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6Do2uqAgu1
麵來了。270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvFBmAzBq8Q
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnPG0i0lTYg
名副其實的淨麵。沒有湯汁，沒有調味料，沒有配料。270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlfSobIevLg
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9v3zylyojX
「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。270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIe29QtXOT5
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRfYLDSnR8N
「我不需要它好吃。」我低頭吃麵，心裡希望老闆閉嘴。270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCv9ZEmco53
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡihS3UBk8Of
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。270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpYYVH0fpK1
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6TewZUZA3T
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。」270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡniTfkTzqxk
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRw3jrSkIKY
「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。270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcUbDVPQWwr
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUAECTsW0LH
「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。270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2n8spdCXuh
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLdiTL4dltX
「何以見得？」我的手不自覺退回來，想聽他說下去。270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdj8i9L98eP
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0T7F5c7SzB
「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。270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEMKUBerahO
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzmQTiyj6Rt
「還以為服務業從業員都是笑臉迎人的！」我笑老闆過於主觀。270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfPwKhugrBG
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqtgdOwfH6y
「你已然下班。」老闆眼神放軟，現出疲態：「累了，累得沒能假裝。」270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ543CvXe0RK
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKRuF8RLP94
「你想太多。」我假笑，再次將鈔票遞予老闆。270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnzGaNNSCFM
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgaeZkTCLt8
老闆點點頭，終於伸手接下鈔票，但沒有感謝我的惠顧。270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ20252qpHlN
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6DPI7akJ2g
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。270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3vi4CSX4AV
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVLXVsFCxTs
心念電轉，靈光一閃，驀地抬頭。270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7yg0isPn79
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHjpMpP3C92
算了吧。270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpmFvNIuw2c
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIhA5XzgFve
難得遇到一個敢於對客人板著臉的人。270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiNjniivnJJ
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpmMmHgSYiC
我也想成為這樣的人。
