「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。」503Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrjIgabhEJn

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。」503Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdtD81b1uXc
午餐時間。503Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOapZzdopzo
503Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk4TQM5g3vW
同學們問我要否一起用膳，我搖首婉拒，說有約在身。503Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIuhlCA0kML
503Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqjXd7Pzk12
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。503Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGPj5LlMNdT

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。503Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwyUyucYTAH
503Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQDFl6veLy8
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。503Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwvlUOhFdnl
503Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtBKqHrjhX8
「好吃嗎？」503Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiK6O1kIiAY
503Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC9m75AHy4y
「嗯。」503Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6H0TVaQNnP
503Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ28pb4E5yAU
「你要多吃一些。你太瘦了！」503Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ2bLhW1V4u
503Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkx6076hYSb
「嗯。」503Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlxUuWgHoqm
503Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMjUZAHTW5S
「不過下次千萬不要點『吉列』食物——你臉上已有很多暗瘡。」503Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF4Z0KIBdOp
503Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgietDh0pPg
「嗯。」503Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqNkx0LKsbl

「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。」503Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkPRKLJsiTI
503Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd0458OsLYK
「嗯。」503Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL8vCvn9Lfk
503Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD8kKCDYKY4
「要好好護理皮膚。說不定會隨時遇到真命天子！」503Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBjKGflhBAj
503Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNzdJp2oRsX
「嗯。」503Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL1oB6eeaLm

「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……」503Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKbTO2ZN7Ow
503Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrH669eoiCs
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。503Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt5dP7KNrPj
503Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeBCWj51JHO
「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！」503Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkaOzYXZdMS

「真好。」503Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡabn3duDhgv

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。503Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH442TI24zp
503Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqcXrxtZJYx
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。503Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqya6u3Pp0L
503Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0UgXsHw70x
「對啊！我真的很高興！」503Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4Xo32IsRW8
503Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdzIXhyvAyu
「嗯。」503Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeFd44xatLF
503Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU1w0xhoKYF
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。503Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGDQuRj9xeg
503Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcBNpcu7ekt
我願意借她一對耳朵，聽聽她無處可訴的快樂。503Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsQv1VOkmDb
他說我奇怪，怎麼會聽陌生人說心事。503Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMXeLIjqxbf
503Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnuQ4zOGH6x
我笑，為他未嘗寂寞滋味而高興。503Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhYbL3MaGRG
503Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHbMq7xwfH6
「謝謝你聽我說怪人的故事。」503Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQdm6UfBGEL

「別客氣，怪人。」
