夜深，我拖著疲憊身軀來到準備打烊的麵店。260Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX34vfKQlx7
260Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxjPB2U1go5
「一碗淨麵。」260Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZvy2HQ6URm
260Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTMGJ1oX8ow
老闆瞥了我一眼，不發一言，雙手來回忙著。260Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjviWJnse3p
260Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh6Jww54gfE
他的臉色不大好看，正如我剛才點菜時的語氣也不禮貌。260Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7xbDrunI8O
260Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1pKgx73u2L
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。260Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9Z1nPBvvNs
260Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsMnJTnSf3H
火在燒，水在滾，麵在翻。心在跳，耳在聽，手在動。260Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCTCaCYanwP
260Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡygKeHpK9jO
各有前因，各有煩惱，毋須對號入座。260Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI0Wdd5nKEV
260Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoh0X3p5HXA
麵來了。260Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7HlLgfwMhc
260Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKkz3M9TDYY
名副其實的淨麵。沒有湯汁，沒有調味料，沒有配料。260Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRfppVZhwDk
260Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs7OigQ2EM2
「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。260Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIrUGMHAgsI
260Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl2mbxAz18w
「我不需要它好吃。」我低頭吃麵，心裡希望老闆閉嘴。260Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2tWVwqdoxt
260Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2N3lc3lqIr
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。260Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6FAnWS9VCJ
260Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvRtJrgGJc9
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。」260Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjOMVm92kKb
260Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAUO5LKb8CO
「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。260Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj8tcctBo9Q
260Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7Vb3bqLeSC
「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。260Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGlIrGqDupC
260Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡelJwJqIO7D
「何以見得？」我的手不自覺退回來，想聽他說下去。260Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXlvkL5vIvM
260Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpPwAIZUMDb
「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。260Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMJ83d2Il3Z
260Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfqBkXBhnud
「還以為服務業從業員都是笑臉迎人的！」我笑老闆過於主觀。260Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsJKYndWV40
260Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFQmCwiZkPZ
「你已然下班。」老闆眼神放軟，現出疲態：「累了，累得沒能假裝。」260Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhjj7CgyFAM
260Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡepN18J9cu8
「你想太多。」我假笑，再次將鈔票遞予老闆。260Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv7fS6ZpIy9
260Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSqoUeoFQxS
老闆點點頭，終於伸手接下鈔票，但沒有感謝我的惠顧。260Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXtlca0oc68
260Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH1udKxHntK
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。260Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYvZBmKvcmR
260Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGl4sJoPfJ9
心念電轉，靈光一閃，驀地抬頭。260Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiSV86tnHFR
260Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9eRB920Wzb
算了吧。260Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8CBA9G0yGy
260Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG5j9DD9CLq
難得遇到一個敢於對客人板著臉的人。260Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVzBhw4wVsK
260Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1CvBQLpnBe
我也想成為這樣的人。
