夜深，我拖著疲憊身軀來到準備打烊的麵店。315Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9srX87oD8r
315Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuqgcrGDVfj
「一碗淨麵。」315Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡivoLj2C7hF
315Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlm6Nx9wkyC
老闆瞥了我一眼，不發一言，雙手來回忙著。315Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYGhb5AgsVr
315Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrwlBbSG5sM
他的臉色不大好看，正如我剛才點菜時的語氣也不禮貌。315Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD4l2fVvV0i
315Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4rMV1ULjlj
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。315Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMQnTNQo06r
315Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKag5LEGd4W
火在燒，水在滾，麵在翻。心在跳，耳在聽，手在動。315Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWYdWVejWE7
315Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSOan1rlzuX
各有前因，各有煩惱，毋須對號入座。315Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh187lRqAff
315Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡozcp7VjIJh
麵來了。315Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOcTZK4yGYw
315Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc3IZgEsTu0
名副其實的淨麵。沒有湯汁，沒有調味料，沒有配料。315Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4UD5LztGS7
315Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqRbfzOgWKq
「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。315Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGCMTdwgC3L
315Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuVnouUTXpH
「我不需要它好吃。」我低頭吃麵，心裡希望老闆閉嘴。315Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZg5di0Vm3K
315Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR73gxWqlRo
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。315Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8fDwL11c4z
315Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdpAUr97tBS
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。」315Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE4G8AYx4xt
315Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdKIfI7aL9W
「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。315Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7XXz9rgdej
315Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWpxhJ5ooEb
「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。315Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWzb0hauU1E
315Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrlCxKnXn1T
「何以見得？」我的手不自覺退回來，想聽他說下去。315Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8kxFFp1VjH
315Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhGXwoOom2P
「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。315Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvObwGrQgw0
315Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzlOAgm0VHg
「還以為服務業從業員都是笑臉迎人的！」我笑老闆過於主觀。315Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmCJ9heuvqp
315Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEvnXHWv8e4
「你已然下班。」老闆眼神放軟，現出疲態：「累了，累得沒能假裝。」315Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbyVSzF15pK
315Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlReAHkmRme
「你想太多。」我假笑，再次將鈔票遞予老闆。315Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWWAOcZDjsn
315Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKF5PKJQzSj
老闆點點頭，終於伸手接下鈔票，但沒有感謝我的惠顧。315Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFse5gXzuKC
315Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡggCsqRlDks
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。315Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbtEIAhQ4uX
315Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡievru7c79U
心念電轉，靈光一閃，驀地抬頭。315Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkNDHEoM2NJ
315Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFbLExAACJB
算了吧。315Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvwnUIEXPKg
315Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVAm7HMNpPV
難得遇到一個敢於對客人板著臉的人。315Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7bulRR7t0j
315Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFypNi5DNwq
我也想成為這樣的人。
