「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。」401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDzkCfVwPLY

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。」401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYjU0IqlEK4
午餐時間。401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzts5YqTtFB
401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWf68M8LgPB
同學們問我要否一起用膳，我搖首婉拒，說有約在身。401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡExkNmzRmMT

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。401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7ufdC1V35O

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。401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnn4kvTXNXk
401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ89T6S6r14a
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。401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRZ0UAIYmsk
401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdxEahx3Aq8
「好吃嗎？」401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfSUSwkglxW
401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu0CdYef8UP
「嗯。」401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiXcHgtBSQA
401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSwMS9ykhg4
「你要多吃一些。你太瘦了！」401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ93SyJDgpY6
401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTO8367fNr8
「嗯。」401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiStvkjiBAJ
401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy9C3xLR2eg
「不過下次千萬不要點『吉列』食物——你臉上已有很多暗瘡。」401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqCAy1qir2l
401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcsZjOo4ixN
「嗯。」401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT51lMSIkUE
401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt0AiMNdgkw
「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。」401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5zCFJpoWm5
401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmGd6cEPS2Y
「嗯。」401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrpRxfusEnv
401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN4yJU5jovk
「要好好護理皮膚。說不定會隨時遇到真命天子！」401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL0jt7uCNZZ
401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsZeqKBvi0E
「嗯。」401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoB0EadveiG

「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……」401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2nbZsqIN2l
401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzC41EbIxGS
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。401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm7r5PHREM7
401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUIEPCEwGg1
「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！」401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1xdx5Hu2Ml
401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡidGg16H8ZJ
「真好。」401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoL53GNU7tX

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。401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ57qdrCyuLE
401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWW6C4zu3PK
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。401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBgZJ5HHhp4
401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoLZJocLf87
「對啊！我真的很高興！」401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPZ4lIr1IvI
401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9pc6iRRpl0
「嗯。」401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVRJvtEq71b
401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqLE6DelZ4q
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。401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6Bkn2D1XYS
401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhp9hwPJwIg
我願意借她一對耳朵，聽聽她無處可訴的快樂。401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6zxTuBWufT
他說我奇怪，怎麼會聽陌生人說心事。401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeyhKm5OyKd
401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKpR5LKSesp
我笑，為他未嘗寂寞滋味而高興。401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJQAhoTLjY5
401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1oXMXsGL6g
「謝謝你聽我說怪人的故事。」401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLPZX2UKkhm

「別客氣，怪人。」
