夜深，我拖著疲憊身軀來到準備打烊的麵店。264Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYFzydTlRY2
264Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzhXcVZsh9R
「一碗淨麵。」264Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXJ9ElHwxki
264Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdxY7Bgfpfr
老闆瞥了我一眼，不發一言，雙手來回忙著。264Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCOgcid6GCL
264Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXsXOfHHlpR
他的臉色不大好看，正如我剛才點菜時的語氣也不禮貌。264Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMM430Oe01c
264Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHJdIdaOqu3
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。264Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw5emODKGLp
264Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3edoJB7Bfc
火在燒，水在滾，麵在翻。心在跳，耳在聽，手在動。264Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ693STw5Ewa
264Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUNrayzAn6q
各有前因，各有煩惱，毋須對號入座。264Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmOf4lcE3Z6
264Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcRYPyTpxln
麵來了。264Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUTc9bOPJaO
264Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFD5PyfFPVC
名副其實的淨麵。沒有湯汁，沒有調味料，沒有配料。264Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWDjtuh8an7
264Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡffncDGaQDI
「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。264Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQl84elFKE9
264Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDMlwMPpaof
「我不需要它好吃。」我低頭吃麵，心裡希望老闆閉嘴。264Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgb0nUhUO3g
264Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGr6VIGCaGu
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。264Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg1OHCQfksB
264Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXMzO37bO3k
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。」264Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCMfcp1rbkJ
264Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡczRXrBWSYC
「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。264Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXhk7VVhnYQ
264Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3RlyEAkrV5
「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。264Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw97Dv2Ujgz
264Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡASvgSe0Uw0
「何以見得？」我的手不自覺退回來，想聽他說下去。264Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtRCEoR75Vd
264Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9nCub6srBF
「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。264Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlH5vL19VVG
264Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrrMTUkKOH3
「還以為服務業從業員都是笑臉迎人的！」我笑老闆過於主觀。264Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiIXYG1kW0H
264Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbnp1CwtDcu
「你已然下班。」老闆眼神放軟，現出疲態：「累了，累得沒能假裝。」264Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeobDc2Kpnh
264Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVblTJ3chCP
「你想太多。」我假笑，再次將鈔票遞予老闆。264Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBDxqgO7Cwx
264Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPLR0wFZWpa
老闆點點頭，終於伸手接下鈔票，但沒有感謝我的惠顧。264Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFMrM1wR1bm
264Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcXUhQ0TgWp
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。264Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxKlQX7qxsI
264Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyMwB5SMdzR
心念電轉，靈光一閃，驀地抬頭。264Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBU7bPAtAuO
264Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSDo6Za9QiS
算了吧。264Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjmacm3TO2G
264Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz7obTg2GJn
難得遇到一個敢於對客人板著臉的人。264Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhCf0vu3WaK
264Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3qBxg0O4Cm
我也想成為這樣的人。
