夜深，我拖著疲憊身軀來到準備打烊的麵店。291Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhLy70ovKe9
291Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡimyD75JvWM
「一碗淨麵。」291Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZbge6aGjN6
291Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGB5MCE1Fqn
老闆瞥了我一眼，不發一言，雙手來回忙著。291Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp2jHmQNDqC
291Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡttdVrntNYC
他的臉色不大好看，正如我剛才點菜時的語氣也不禮貌。291Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl4OPrO7mcx
291Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEPlnVZRQdN
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。291Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmAIOAUaSSC
291Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzoFen6Kav8
火在燒，水在滾，麵在翻。心在跳，耳在聽，手在動。291Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2xbzlGfE8z
291Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtncMXq8ThA
各有前因，各有煩惱，毋須對號入座。291Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYEhbiosczx
291Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW86FX3FH8V
麵來了。291Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEVOdtmaZNQ
291Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3zJN6972KB
名副其實的淨麵。沒有湯汁，沒有調味料，沒有配料。291Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5Vssbyi1X0
291Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡja7iFLKo9k
「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。291Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9YcLM9Sq8a
291Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvsHSTxfyO9
「我不需要它好吃。」我低頭吃麵，心裡希望老闆閉嘴。291Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRhxZCIKGhZ
291Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlbNGTkt243
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。291Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYkG0b6Ah2T
291Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7cOb6usSuW
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。」291Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCzJ5UaQorn
291Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvyFvoeTVeK
「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。291Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡycMHH1QMnR
291Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxmnbHFbxrf
「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。291Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhH65eTzDBE
291Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYoMGYUMFuD
「何以見得？」我的手不自覺退回來，想聽他說下去。291Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJOTKNtnuhM
291Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTDZ5BY1edU
「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。291Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnQpSUUL5xk
291Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZQS9WsGYXe
「還以為服務業從業員都是笑臉迎人的！」我笑老闆過於主觀。291Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg8H6EWj0pT
291Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkRQyhIAfS1
「你已然下班。」老闆眼神放軟，現出疲態：「累了，累得沒能假裝。」291Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcgL17zbzjL
291Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBbJ1kipeFK
「你想太多。」我假笑，再次將鈔票遞予老闆。291Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc0qytGzV0r
291Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7t3LTyVxIm
老闆點點頭，終於伸手接下鈔票，但沒有感謝我的惠顧。291Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQiLnudOd60
291Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIx1x1g3SWZ
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。291Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwEr7Vb1iJR
291Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvGO1HefE1i
心念電轉，靈光一閃，驀地抬頭。291Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9VPcoY5KFe
291Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX03pF8NYbj
算了吧。291Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7MVQMRoiAe
291Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgmlQgaF6Zv
難得遇到一個敢於對客人板著臉的人。291Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCyZ5gsU8P9
291Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡONod7kXuD5
我也想成為這樣的人。
