夜深，我拖著疲憊身軀來到準備打烊的麵店。300Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWlgOVrEjvS
300Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd7gXiFgFSu
「一碗淨麵。」300Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9f1rFnHXE9
300Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK44GG2EvTt
老闆瞥了我一眼，不發一言，雙手來回忙著。300Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdg6eXeRRaI
300Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMa78cRtnwJ
他的臉色不大好看，正如我剛才點菜時的語氣也不禮貌。300Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4QDOZLsD1g
300Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPqXRn269Z5
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。300Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ39dhxkvqTJ
300Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPOUVIGeYyi
火在燒，水在滾，麵在翻。心在跳，耳在聽，手在動。300Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHRoiVQbu9s
300Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkOdRfszdOO
各有前因，各有煩惱，毋須對號入座。300Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgUmRfaUGEX
300Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ08TQ6HlBfI
麵來了。300Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡECN7F6cGRb
300Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzCMhl4POkV
名副其實的淨麵。沒有湯汁，沒有調味料，沒有配料。300Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNnFNxS4xa8
300Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzhv0Rz5oGe
「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。300Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCYRYMj9kUC
300Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5PgR5WI7fn
「我不需要它好吃。」我低頭吃麵，心裡希望老闆閉嘴。300Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxCYUR48GaW
300Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVfxOoFkMif
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。300Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7NgqURCIXf
300Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE0ricgOIcB
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。」300Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLMxf5OoK1M
300Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFWNlCDg7UV
「有沒有甚麼特別發現？」我拿著鈔票的手沒有收回，定在空中伸向老闆。300Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8zk6JRtUdY
300Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9L0HeMaXTd
「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。300Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkf5aeVKMUx
300Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIOPSSbOJM7
「何以見得？」我的手不自覺退回來，想聽他說下去。300Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ17yFnRR20I
300Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY6DJw34OYs
「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。300Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1YGfHZL52H
300Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMVj1QYCosM
「還以為服務業從業員都是笑臉迎人的！」我笑老闆過於主觀。300Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡClFgWPKFXt
300Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAwiMSFWqVf
「你已然下班。」老闆眼神放軟，現出疲態：「累了，累得沒能假裝。」300Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIGv2F9o4GP
300Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJiq5TrF0w9
「你想太多。」我假笑，再次將鈔票遞予老闆。300Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgCJknb9B4N
300Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡClPK8u2LXc
老闆點點頭，終於伸手接下鈔票，但沒有感謝我的惠顧。300Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOgNjL7PJrr
300Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvgJTGgfrTt
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。300Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7Xwhx01dlQ
300Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡERUv2nWkTA
心念電轉，靈光一閃，驀地抬頭。300Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDr8DhfGMu4
300Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwEnXrFs7qZ
算了吧。300Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmQaf5iLXAI
300Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNStTJji8l9
難得遇到一個敢於對客人板著臉的人。300Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwjmRumXO22
300Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRS7z86ih9d
我也想成為這樣的人。
