「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。」398Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8KiyBtqaAc

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。」398Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqBMojqmAZu
午餐時間。398Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ90bLBK8LzN
398Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2dfRyaXYDT
同學們問我要否一起用膳，我搖首婉拒，說有約在身。398Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1HZzz0dlPT

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。398Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwVPXSf0pVK

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。398Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtAqZQAk624
398Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFLFe5ti3j2
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。398Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlowx0pcJfP
398Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrK19yhMjVn
「好吃嗎？」398Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbLfsZVu4JR
398Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDfFbrsb9kL
「嗯。」398Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡved4AKn7yu
398Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVfguQMI10o
「你要多吃一些。你太瘦了！」398Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY6fjL19kLW
398Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl4BmkKqxmS
「嗯。」398Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiU7A5Cxx2w
398Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfwzIUMMIX4
「不過下次千萬不要點『吉列』食物——你臉上已有很多暗瘡。」398Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPCMU5Xlorx
398Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4NocOKz3k7
「嗯。」398Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCdWoOkiUP2

「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。」398Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt8wAx9ywko
398Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqbAZI0kFjs
「嗯。」398Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡanVk3Y3kX2
398Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡinYnEgx6ZD
「要好好護理皮膚。說不定會隨時遇到真命天子！」398Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVpZZ1szz6Q
398Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFmQSIURMXM
「嗯。」398Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWPrZdp3DXY

「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……」398Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡorKSJFxwIu
398Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlJN7QYVbOM
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。398Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb4VUtDr1vi
398Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡueaYpwnuOJ
「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！」398Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtbmCBk96Bh
398Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnMjtgO77ms
「真好。」398Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl2RrSWDxrz

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。398Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlyZJ0KXkbT
398Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc62cC5mEJJ
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。398Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVF8BvG1Fvn
398Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhudEmD8rd0
「對啊！我真的很高興！」398Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuaDQGLRa2G
398Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKhgd77KWyN
「嗯。」398Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgySdKgdDJL
398Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwWeDcDaNm9
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。398Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEluzckUGhL
398Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlnTvzjPRAB
我願意借她一對耳朵，聽聽她無處可訴的快樂。398Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjfh9vTjRyj
他說我奇怪，怎麼會聽陌生人說心事。398Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNhI7kPMD7q
398Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9SZSti5U4e
我笑，為他未嘗寂寞滋味而高興。398Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7A8tjeJnoM
398Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcDsAyScZSH
「謝謝你聽我說怪人的故事。」398Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFFPgbdbrTg
