夜深，我拖著疲憊身軀來到準備打烊的麵店。316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAbU5Mx55Cw
316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7Gi13s4ns0
「一碗淨麵。」316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUUVlTQIoNh
316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMrwdH07BcF
老闆瞥了我一眼，不發一言，雙手來回忙著。316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl8E7e9JXpg
316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHztvstx3ce
他的臉色不大好看，正如我剛才點菜時的語氣也不禮貌。316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSqx1tAOdpw
316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw0QihrdhYm
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。316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAbtc5IYk4E
316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv49Wzab7uv
火在燒，水在滾，麵在翻。心在跳，耳在聽，手在動。316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3Y58GD7HCb
316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtnURE2JRt9
各有前因，各有煩惱，毋須對號入座。316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQBr8U2X1iW
316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvaANMMvQIH
麵來了。316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFJ8fM42OIT
316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgn26Y2GF3G
名副其實的淨麵。沒有湯汁，沒有調味料，沒有配料。316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxHKZvRdk4O
316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6GR8gFt3UX
「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。316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8F1iUUIB2F
316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJaUXBvPLEc
「我不需要它好吃。」我低頭吃麵，心裡希望老闆閉嘴。316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlS1iceoOsr
316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0fzgaVmS8B
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。316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbmYk4uL8vp
316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZW72Xghrnn
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。」316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgkCpAyqkOy
316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡizNL2MXV36
「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。316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡulyAcVQwum
316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi0BvF3gXW7
「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。316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ59oCcF6V9r
316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7boOTMOc4I
「何以見得？」我的手不自覺退回來，想聽他說下去。316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjSsPpWRJcT
316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxvXq0Lmohq
「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。316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVD05zOExFB
316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqKs4qRtZW1
「還以為服務業從業員都是笑臉迎人的！」我笑老闆過於主觀。316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY3b93JNuvd
316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7SEyuHxnOI
「你已然下班。」老闆眼神放軟，現出疲態：「累了，累得沒能假裝。」316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWxCAdYhBXN
316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHv4SjDGdvP
「你想太多。」我假笑，再次將鈔票遞予老闆。316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbhdufRFenr
316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRgkFQ4V4UO
老闆點點頭，終於伸手接下鈔票，但沒有感謝我的惠顧。316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ587NNR7hRk
316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1s1QlL3E1o
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。316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9PZaMc6sbO
316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV11LmpGtoo
心念電轉，靈光一閃，驀地抬頭。316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHUbj55HkxN
316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzspILPQDhf
算了吧。316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTy2sdJhH5A
316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6CDB9MgzdQ
難得遇到一個敢於對客人板著臉的人。316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl97OBS24Bk
316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz4iREi781C
我也想成為這樣的人。
