「自小經常遇到怪人。當中有男有女，性格迥異，唯一共通點是『老』。這麼形容似乎不太準確。其實我不知道他們的真實年齡，純粹覺得看來年紀大——對於一個小孩子，四十歲、五十歲、六十歲、七十歲的人看來分別不大。」506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9OWnPiq3Yc

長大後會跟身邊人分享遇上怪人經過。他問我為何不拒絕或不逃跑，我說感覺怪人沒有惡意。他問我如何肯定對方沒有惡意，我笑答單憑感覺。他先是一愣，後來輕嘆一聲：「物以類聚。」506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX84ufIOtm7
午餐時間。506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFWBJ4Aj9CM
506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNUwjOkoTwx
同學們問我要否一起用膳，我搖首婉拒，說有約在身。506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv2m8bQBzY0

獨自前往茶餐廳，在向隅一張二人枱坐下。侍應給我兩杯淡茶，我說自己佔一座位而已。506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡknWmWTNKQP

點餐後五分鐘，熱騰騰的吉列豬扒飯到來。還沒吃上兩三口，一個不認識的大嬸坐到對面空位，同樣點了吉列豬扒飯。506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡODsYFTeHNx
506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo8LG4tA6ja
數分鐘過去，她的午餐還沒到來。她瞄了瞄我的吉列豬扒飯，開始作怪。506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfpdx5b7ytm
506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPb5JarJMnQ
「好吃嗎？」506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGWuCqy0Ky4
506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnQbpvg9kYn
「嗯。」506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt5k59GyhRU
506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZULkeoDkHn
「你要多吃一些。你太瘦了！」506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡisKaBAJnmA
506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxY6TsJLalO
「嗯。」506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr6eLSaHfFj
506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFk7PKioWKq
「不過下次千萬不要點『吉列』食物——你臉上已有很多暗瘡。」506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBZQdpNRYHj
506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPNgfyCXzD4
「嗯。」506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ84AeF8FYMW

「我告訴你一條清熱秘方吧！（一堆中草藥名字）在藥材店可以輕易買到。」506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjSinwLKtze
506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy3XxCkqOCk
「嗯。」506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvNAMTNQzGm
506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrZJja4lYK8
「要好好護理皮膚。說不定會隨時遇到真命天子！」506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhXsRcKwJ0A
506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa9wZMRRQLM
「嗯。」506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSZA1TM5ZrR

「丈夫數年前去世以後，我一直以為自己這種年紀、這種外貌該不會再遇到甚麼好人好事，誰料上個月……」506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzZ2cdE7fr5
506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH4BjM34ygY
她突然頓住。我知道她正在等待我作出反應，例如好奇追問或是報以微笑。我選擇後者——我對她的故事不感興趣，無法假裝好奇。506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMY0CAvAU04
506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK9l4IE7srL
「誰料上個月在社區中心遇到他！他前天還邀請我周末一起飲茶！」506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNwql49nrJa
506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVQuqywJCZW
「真好。」506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhemiMwueBW

同枱十五分鐘，這是我第一次給予正式回應，順道仔細打量大嬸。506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSCaiIl9X9V
506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1gLCqQWhLY
平平無奇的中年大嬸。樣子不美不醜，身材不肥不瘦不高不矮，衣著不新潮亦不土氣。過目即忘那一類。506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM1lgNBFzks
506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbPUqxUmggH
「對啊！我真的很高興！」506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTwB9BtT8Y6
506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQXYL6tGw6C
「嗯。」506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwtyKirVqE3
506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9sCzAqKIpJ
我再次冷對大嬸。因為她根本不在意我是否在意——她只需一雙願意聆聽的耳朵。506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡps7q8y0CBK
506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvyzWbSfLUh
我願意借她一對耳朵，聽聽她無處可訴的快樂。506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJcmn7yP9BN
他說我奇怪，怎麼會聽陌生人說心事。506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7S2lTAmxR8
506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWLufegdrHi
我笑，為他未嘗寂寞滋味而高興。506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH3VnP7VL9K
506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuVCDN3akKk
「謝謝你聽我說怪人的故事。」506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJrCsAig5G5
506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUJwvfWDdNw
「別客氣，怪人。」
