「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。」509Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuQYEZSzjHy

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。」509Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI3qnPJYgKP
午餐時間。509Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV6h6l3Jb8y
509Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbdzv5wt3EJ
同學們問我要否一起用膳，我搖首婉拒，說有約在身。509Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl1mB8QwbyV

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。509Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv94LabmBKW

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。509Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpLrwcHJ4g9
509Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcPXJU7cGnr
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。509Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡydhjoAT2tJ
509Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLCwKEp6SZh
「好吃嗎？」509Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0KoNjA0Duy
509Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM3DwubsYU7
「嗯。」509Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHnEJSdLA5O
509Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyKJpqMcmHt
「你要多吃一些。你太瘦了！」509Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5q5b0i5fHg
509Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAEBAFFSqVo
「嗯。」509Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgYYFw1cxDw
509Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlkj9RyeMhw
「不過下次千萬不要點『吉列』食物——你臉上已有很多暗瘡。」509Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu9o7ty8bFG
509Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHwkyJsChE6
「嗯。」509Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcbE9UVShX3

「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。」509Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCzzKYw4LKi
509Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTwi5NJq52k
「嗯。」509Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0k0L5dzCp1
509Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPnHK3aydZ7
「要好好護理皮膚。說不定會隨時遇到真命天子！」509Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuyO41PzHs0
509Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc6yd78VvrU
「嗯。」509Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwfgjQky0HN

「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……」509Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBdIaUMtv5s
509Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL3aIQ6tBga
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。509Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWIkgy1zEed
509Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs3u25k9OmY
「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！」509Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdMyQpyH1d0
509Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKyGG9uJrCP
「真好。」509Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUk0Q7UuWZg

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。509Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCSgyAGXeLe
509Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmYMJVPtX3o
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。509Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI3OyMA4cJZ
509Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWuK6t7SPiI
「對啊！我真的很高興！」509Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2rNEjmzGmZ
509Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxrJAcv2F6U
「嗯。」509Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2vhoCw8uYw
509Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUjJIVBulpw
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。509Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ94oxJcc3kn
509Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3ZfU50QyXJ
我願意借她一對耳朵，聽聽她無處可訴的快樂。509Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE4WErDM8Sm
他說我奇怪，怎麼會聽陌生人說心事。509Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡogcEd5UZru
509Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0hTgmmYEk6
我笑，為他未嘗寂寞滋味而高興。509Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFIEHRY5aQE
509Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMQ1vjFKpwu
「謝謝你聽我說怪人的故事。」509Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDhjmwrgcW6
