「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。」403Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnRrGOUJzIF

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。」403Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhqewT1mrmv
午餐時間。403Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRRHmE8hkjt
403Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG2hm8OHl99
同學們問我要否一起用膳，我搖首婉拒，說有約在身。403Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0orNfvS6ls

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。403Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvRlGCHehdB

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。403Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡipjCwe5w6U
403Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYBSsyycIxH
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。403Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRCZgcpFtsM
403Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTqoCPpfWUz
「好吃嗎？」403Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRD3WiLAe1W
403Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0MxD5PFQE3
「嗯。」403Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmWYUkp7nTD
403Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqYuBOZ0ykY
「你要多吃一些。你太瘦了！」403Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE1SVDf0cQJ
403Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2tfROuIl2w
「嗯。」403Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv2hpEvjBUv
403Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZVBy15x5nZ
「不過下次千萬不要點『吉列』食物——你臉上已有很多暗瘡。」403Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcgnU7aUxBQ
403Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvIuzjk5Vpa
「嗯。」403Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡENXyo6rbyb

「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。」403Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsPgH6PvAQL
403Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7YwEK5sHMU
「嗯。」403Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyhU9pNxGRS
403Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0NuVydKxlv
「要好好護理皮膚。說不定會隨時遇到真命天子！」403Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiqJg29NqGl
403Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrkrXK64p9w
「嗯。」403Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfCWyQx1k0F

「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……」403Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡebs6HfkuP3
403Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrRJMelF9jx
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。403Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNMqwAUHLJe
403Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEPAWt0eGZl
「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！」403Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJOYg9uLPc3
403Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbpJT7Sa5rE
「真好。」403Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoaYjVSLrRk

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。403Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZuGfZ7u1c7
403Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG0LiKSxnS9
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。403Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUrTejM09DD
403Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhl0glaHKD2
「對啊！我真的很高興！」403Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrdGMPwl63t
403Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTzyDbJINrQ
「嗯。」403Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ34tywxYYBK
403Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡslrdl8nDNV
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。403Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNZYO6ml1hT
403Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7m6dXCOYmJ
我願意借她一對耳朵，聽聽她無處可訴的快樂。403Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFOom6rhYqq
他說我奇怪，怎麼會聽陌生人說心事。403Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhi5l67Dp04
403Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡalpzDyNgBD
我笑，為他未嘗寂寞滋味而高興。403Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmHMeXDVfPS
403Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡygwaZdnMV3
「謝謝你聽我說怪人的故事。」403Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ09dy3ePiOm
