夜深，我來到準備打烊的麵店。501Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwllADBbKFG
501Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZGyd5x7Iyt
「一碗淨麵。」501Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0WQZqBo76W
501Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWILPaoSHgO
老闆瞥了我一眼，不發一言，雙手來回忙著。501Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTVDgnFcifO
501Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT4oyC314Ew
他的臉色不大好看，正如我剛才點菜時的語氣也不禮貌。501Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTkOVc7OULn
501Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ0TEcLmjdK
我知道兩者沒有關連，他板著臉並非因為我的不禮貌，我的不禮貌並非因為他板著臉。各有前因，各有煩惱，毋須對號入座。501Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfewhVOCSZs
501Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2BoYnYAvUd
麵來了。501Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfqltwxj85I
501Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1Umpgih4Bz
名副其實的淨麵。沒有湯汁，沒有調味料，沒有配料。501Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEFkvYZgJvF
501Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkrpmsIcXeX
「有可能好吃嗎？」老闆的臉色依然玄青，聲調卻是淡然如水，不含惡意。501Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVPfnkUfn6u
501Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZcgIKq3GW3
「我不需要它好吃。」我低頭吃麵，心裡希望老闆閉嘴。501Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdLkwQQtNH4
501Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbcOLrdCidI
也許老闆不知道該如何接話，僅是站在原地，默默看我將淨麵吃清光。501Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOv2D2d8mpY
501Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmkhFj8rNlw
我掏出銀包取鈔票，老闆突然又開口：「你光顧這店不下百次，每次只點一碗淨麵。由於這種吃法太奇怪，我早在你光顧的第十次已然開始留意你。」501Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoMldPkMcrZ
501Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNqVUD2EGMm
「有沒有甚麼特別發現？」我拿著鈔票的手沒有收回，繼續遞向老闆。501Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6DfQAWjPMr
501Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU3Djrv4zNN
「你從事服務業。」老闆有意無意地交叉雙手架在胸前，沒有接過鈔票。501Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2SxtHKoJgY
501Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDPN3IPh7sJ
「何以見得？」我的手不自覺退回來。501Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡswclqA2J92
501Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTGyiJw9kdR
「每次你的臉色不大好看，語氣也不禮貌，就像一碗淨麵。」老闆毫不客氣。501Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5ZDyX2ah1I
501Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvPGPjhhViA
「還以為服務業從業員都是笑臉迎人的！」我笑老闆過於主觀。501Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCwrQ1KRHqD
501Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg4kEVJPPZP
「你已然下班。」老闆眼神放軟，狀甚憐惜：「你累了，累得沒能假裝。」501Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBHZRyWfecY
501Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl2lObne2JM
「你想太多。」我假笑，再次將鈔票遞予老闆。501Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdTiI0bFDCr
501Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1BfAgXdQvs
老闆點點頭，終於伸手接下鈔票，但沒有感謝我的惠顧。501Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN6JYoD5oib
501Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOzZUVNFyoZ
我走出麵店，猶豫要不要繼續光顧這麵店——被看穿心思的感覺令我很不安、很難受。501Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0I6N4KTHFj
501Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBOuFyKz5WX
心念電轉，靈光一閃，驀地抬頭。501Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsqTB2zLyY4
501Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9bsmVXrWrH
算了吧。501Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIRHzHMxiEa
501Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSMLUD6Edcm
難得遇到一個敢於對客人板著臉的老闆。
