夜深，我拖著疲憊身軀來到準備打烊的麵店。261Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbi6igYlx7e
261Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ37UfWB6SlM
「一碗淨麵。」261Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxOLUlHm9Ca
261Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQVYDIHhGyh
老闆瞥了我一眼，不發一言，雙手來回忙著。261Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmx7H3xSZQ9
261Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk670ke6Xuy
他的臉色不大好看，正如我剛才點菜時的語氣也不禮貌。261Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTL52OBXz1H
261Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxkWPnTXXrr
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。261Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIemKf2A6xU
261Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3p5bluI0tb
火在燒，水在滾，麵在翻。心在跳，耳在聽，手在動。261Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvCN4KubTPd
261Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr68uWo00Ug
各有前因，各有煩惱，毋須對號入座。261Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡipj5H2blrw
261Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP4GXvoCUeo
麵來了。261Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7ihtK8r3pv
261Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3XAGZl4Xsr
名副其實的淨麵。沒有湯汁，沒有調味料，沒有配料。261Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZQlz93haxo
261Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFO5A1QSIW2
「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。261Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOQTuDIOFOR
261Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMjgwmriyPW
「我不需要它好吃。」我低頭吃麵，心裡希望老闆閉嘴。261Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDxPocQzWFG
261Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSxFklULki0
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。261Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcBGOdmfPnv
261Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOKfPEQbJ86
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。」261Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgkXcoGo85h
261Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo61bgxsc3J
「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。261Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2wFk65mhjJ
261Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtyvd4kxRZu
「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。261Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxxRa4LLdrM
261Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnEJDv6aUyV
「何以見得？」我的手不自覺退回來，想聽他說下去。261Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡykMJLRylet
261Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcGSavITzPh
「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。261Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnnwgY4XRS2
261Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaJFaq9vF5O
「還以為服務業從業員都是笑臉迎人的！」我笑老闆過於主觀。261Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqkb8nhdi1r
261Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ10jKLPZ705
「你已然下班。」老闆眼神放軟，現出疲態：「累了，累得沒能假裝。」261Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKHTEITuO7I
261Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeOyLPjPz2W
「你想太多。」我假笑，再次將鈔票遞予老闆。261Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEoRBmGFtSY
261Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbPgxOftYng
老闆點點頭，終於伸手接下鈔票，但沒有感謝我的惠顧。261Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxWsXS4L7dr
261Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4MZFG0WQUI
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。261Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt0uLYP8Bc1
261Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDFEcxGccal
心念電轉，靈光一閃，驀地抬頭。261Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQQ5Zwslksa
261Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzrdqCCUIjG
算了吧。261Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkkOHylxPhH
261Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡicSNC1e6F8
難得遇到一個敢於對客人板著臉的人。261Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIuKY5K3hIC
261Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBJJTjLq1Yu
我也想成為這樣的人。
