夜深，我拖著疲憊身軀來到準備打烊的麵店。292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8afuaAE7oq
292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlVvT9MrutB
「一碗淨麵。」292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxL44Lztckf
292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXpCk46tQcR
老闆瞥了我一眼，不發一言，雙手來回忙著。292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIo6Z0tucdm
292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9NZfwSnxGm
他的臉色不大好看，正如我剛才點菜時的語氣也不禮貌。292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEKeEwGlvxY
292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBuOeyWwFq9
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。292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN9vYpF4Lqu
292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsuM5OVF0qr
火在燒，水在滾，麵在翻。心在跳，耳在聽，手在動。292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYcrwnp0R1y
292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9Lts7n1GYs
各有前因，各有煩惱，毋須對號入座。292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBHmoAShny7
292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCSUZDu3qMj
麵來了。292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ6VRY1tGV1
292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvO3xnoxEDx
名副其實的淨麵。沒有湯汁，沒有調味料，沒有配料。292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ55qj5ThczV
292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxFrtg5yggk
「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。292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN7XJZoGkBe
292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7K3b8HNOPa
「我不需要它好吃。」我低頭吃麵，心裡希望老闆閉嘴。292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7EC2VBnkbM
292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxKBdvk2yqu
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。292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaMHIhGrthm
292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkxgvMsYKTB
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。」292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtcSxbUhz8O
292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVvi9zdH2el
「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。292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcgBD5seGqJ
292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSKjYG2ME7F
「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。292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ85x6PeGCkG
292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJe4BX3fXJ2
「何以見得？」我的手不自覺退回來，想聽他說下去。292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIDIXwmyOXS
292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuA9aFUXEGP
「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。292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt2kZm2LHob
292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhUXtVBm10p
「還以為服務業從業員都是笑臉迎人的！」我笑老闆過於主觀。292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTtZ7bULHtb
292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm6UHWhaOv6
「你已然下班。」老闆眼神放軟，現出疲態：「累了，累得沒能假裝。」292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhebVpTZJ6R
292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwCP5xu4w1V
「你想太多。」我假笑，再次將鈔票遞予老闆。292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡANzvcEoxKa
292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlas59jPyxv
老闆點點頭，終於伸手接下鈔票，但沒有感謝我的惠顧。292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBs2zx5RjnB
292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm5ZeRR9qzT
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。292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ343dCkiI2e
292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxi9cgCPiDW
心念電轉，靈光一閃，驀地抬頭。292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg3RtYoZuTD
292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5KbLxpPIGl
算了吧。292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTjZuTxL8TV
292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡraLGfVX3kZ
難得遇到一個敢於對客人板著臉的人。292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkbYEbD7XPy
292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeaL0hTwx9I
我也想成為這樣的人。
