夜深，我拖著疲憊身軀來到準備打烊的麵店。306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNNdEbnQX31
306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmpiaQ5xd1J
「一碗淨麵。」306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZVqUPP6Tfi
306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡusOFPvgwiU
老闆瞥了我一眼，不發一言，雙手來回忙著。306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLefUSAeJTd
306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvAUvwT1M8L
他的臉色不大好看，正如我剛才點菜時的語氣也不禮貌。306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5UjBBUdsbj
306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNLiyWeRDtU
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。306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡikfKwo3wxe
306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWVE8kTlM6w
火在燒，水在滾，麵在翻。心在跳，耳在聽，手在動。306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxvHwfkFHjY
306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU2YKrqW7Oq
各有前因，各有煩惱，毋須對號入座。306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmULIzBfKlc
306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ692tsxkgTQ
麵來了。306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2tjw93SHky
306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYin70cxKe1
名副其實的淨麵。沒有湯汁，沒有調味料，沒有配料。306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNjgYiJ5GxV
306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGSNKwyWO6M
「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。306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2MRgAbcAXq
306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ95bsDdrDvO
「我不需要它好吃。」我低頭吃麵，心裡希望老闆閉嘴。306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2ZOKrckKAx
306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ63qDTzppJe
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。306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXlhAJBymZw
306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfVgIdKkx7F
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。」306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbP8Xo6lzfH
306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXOC2padWq0
「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。306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlrHvRRrqM9
306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0IyD11Utsu
「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。306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJvFj7riu2b
306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5BByhqIuEn
「何以見得？」我的手不自覺退回來，想聽他說下去。306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2xzJVyJgIw
306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvhQnEEub9p
「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。306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKYvlEiSsgZ
306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP7pXrgNXjb
「還以為服務業從業員都是笑臉迎人的！」我笑老闆過於主觀。306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXuHyqHjYlp
306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYgxFcMfmlY
「你已然下班。」老闆眼神放軟，現出疲態：「累了，累得沒能假裝。」306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmxboo9dC4o
306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU3ZvivRvcq
「你想太多。」我假笑，再次將鈔票遞予老闆。306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0GLy3nhps5
306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHQ0yVlxolJ
老闆點點頭，終於伸手接下鈔票，但沒有感謝我的惠顧。306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDDAeWXJZpT
306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUkKWu5DnDX
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。306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8JRaa6d6c3
306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuZiF2o9JrE
心念電轉，靈光一閃，驀地抬頭。306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdFI7oIgF63
306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEmswNkGnpL
算了吧。306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgdT6ldD7od
306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡweMFucjKAW
難得遇到一個敢於對客人板著臉的人。306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPZnxJKV8Kx
306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeOURDixm8e
我也想成為這樣的人。
