夜深，我拖著疲憊身軀來到準備打烊的麵店。279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8DSegFnEge
279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf1XA63M6Kr
「一碗淨麵。」279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM2ZZSL7idT
279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj5zUNM92YZ
老闆瞥了我一眼，不發一言，雙手來回忙著。279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBHROcLCbg0
279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpl654sS6AG
他的臉色不大好看，正如我剛才點菜時的語氣也不禮貌。279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPhvPwryZJS
279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpDRHFA5Xme
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。279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMa4K5AJv8T
279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8TJawWOaO5
火在燒，水在滾，麵在翻。心在跳，耳在聽，手在動。279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIrpWyaQsNP
279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU3JZh0FxW2
各有前因，各有煩惱，毋須對號入座。279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCqUGlTvrXj
279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ50nqqbc39A
麵來了。279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaixOZc4o26
279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ03hIKufRDT
名副其實的淨麵。沒有湯汁，沒有調味料，沒有配料。279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9S28vv5DM6
279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp1ToreaI1V
「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。279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡizt5rWmkJX
279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGRerJmGVP7
「我不需要它好吃。」我低頭吃麵，心裡希望老闆閉嘴。279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ9S0mnVeYn
279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGyM7Wgncf3
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。279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpJcId2x8kD
279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc5M4hPUbs8
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。」279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjlx3TK9Ysz
279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡepT5UR3BnP
「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。279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8zGPHQgQb6
279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEQuk9NZxJS
「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。279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGnMbkb1uyi
279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ05bEUiUlmO
「何以見得？」我的手不自覺退回來，想聽他說下去。279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnOVx9HdmPI
279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV8QYYkUFHf
「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。279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv8YmeJXQoB
279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0TK2x5F4Iu
「還以為服務業從業員都是笑臉迎人的！」我笑老闆過於主觀。279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTH1rE1w6sc
279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRjvNygXDct
「你已然下班。」老闆眼神放軟，現出疲態：「累了，累得沒能假裝。」279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbb3wRs1hdn
279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvVKMvc3AOi
「你想太多。」我假笑，再次將鈔票遞予老闆。279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWrv1bugjFc
279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDIvuMtouMn
老闆點點頭，終於伸手接下鈔票，但沒有感謝我的惠顧。279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTtPraq1i1Q
279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡByAoJCY5cO
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。279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwCeuHAeKuM
279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNIdrSyYbNW
心念電轉，靈光一閃，驀地抬頭。279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgecoHNlz2V
279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡioCm8cbI0J
算了吧。279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0yOOf9aUuS
279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzGwtbKLAIy
難得遇到一個敢於對客人板著臉的人。279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpSmKZoXAY6
279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9qZDsX58P3
我也想成為這樣的人。
