夜深，我拖著疲憊身軀來到準備打烊的麵店。293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡktitUDxMa4
293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoym8RtoHQt
「一碗淨麵。」293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmvuNoTYohf
293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3dmTb5on2R
老闆瞥了我一眼，不發一言，雙手來回忙著。293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn0Se7aqfMd
293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdXs2jbdkVQ
他的臉色不大好看，正如我剛才點菜時的語氣也不禮貌。293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTph7WWCLTP
293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0l0gOajqqp
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。293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPvIZVhW70x
293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGZZYoun4w2
火在燒，水在滾，麵在翻。心在跳，耳在聽，手在動。293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaLZSxEOReP
293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiip7AkTQIk
各有前因，各有煩惱，毋須對號入座。293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4K8fHfgpvJ
293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrHccLcOblm
麵來了。293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd0S3ykhT88
293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsu9ggW72rT
名副其實的淨麵。沒有湯汁，沒有調味料，沒有配料。293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAINZbprEp6
293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFB0Y3rf3cx
「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。293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSIhOflN3AH
293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8T1AqK5rP1
「我不需要它好吃。」我低頭吃麵，心裡希望老闆閉嘴。293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp6edDR6FEX
293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXPUklEWDuY
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。293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzAwCTknbZ0
293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxwMTI5tnLt
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。」293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgiPBgEcqwS
293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7M6eizUyk7
「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。293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiExmgjHQZe
293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQjk1flcjEW
「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。293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNLU5b7ooBa
293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4FL8RekFW9
「何以見得？」我的手不自覺退回來，想聽他說下去。293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE3N1VE19o0
293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDDELqHOByN
「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。293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8IqZ9cXlnF
293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZfrEwh9esT
「還以為服務業從業員都是笑臉迎人的！」我笑老闆過於主觀。293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSytcLyPN9c
293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxMbzKoe2oj
「你已然下班。」老闆眼神放軟，現出疲態：「累了，累得沒能假裝。」293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmtRQhbunkB
293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZU07AWy8FE
「你想太多。」我假笑，再次將鈔票遞予老闆。293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSwbmzRiE9C
293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL1mafA4CTm
老闆點點頭，終於伸手接下鈔票，但沒有感謝我的惠顧。293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQXU3LVEFiD
293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡebMcYVokEU
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。293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrQhSsiAvGu
293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqirXg4ZROP
心念電轉，靈光一閃，驀地抬頭。293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeU9qMvANUw
293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ62B2Z0QcbF
算了吧。293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKopMR14fb5
293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKggPV6GJ7Y
難得遇到一個敢於對客人板著臉的人。293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGWlGsMQ4u8
293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAdFuGulFqp
我也想成為這樣的人。
