夜深，我拖著疲憊身軀來到準備打烊的麵店。245Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4nS4sHQoR3
245Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfk9iXZCBm2
「一碗淨麵。」245Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO9vwREHIn7
245Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLCYHTrfUYK
老闆瞥了我一眼，不發一言，雙手來回忙著。245Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC62DwZTUFR
245Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR0y9UhXaKN
他的臉色不大好看，正如我剛才點菜時的語氣也不禮貌。245Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyPYpHXPxVk
245Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTB2c1X3NM9
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。245Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRI6QcHqgHf
245Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvwhDfrFQLo
火在燒，水在滾，麵在翻。心在跳，耳在聽，手在動。245Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7mzEGvVmYA
245Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSC7xMYby1W
各有前因，各有煩惱，毋須對號入座。245Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuHk6Uf0Ish
245Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU5yElQ2UN7
麵來了。245Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ90Lx5eBi5o
245Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL0eXN7miTr
名副其實的淨麵。沒有湯汁，沒有調味料，沒有配料。245Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1iDQn6sx7u
245Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKlyXqVSSXd
「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。245Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxYtwGUSyMK
245Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVXrI4Lm4rI
「我不需要它好吃。」我低頭吃麵，心裡希望老闆閉嘴。245Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKnXN5RU6e2
245Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr3MH3rwjs2
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。245Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg1AElKjR8h
245Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAAgQD41wrb
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。」245Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhvKmoUlieM
245Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0WyRqsZ7CJ
「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。245Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx8hgo3YWak
245Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO47XTrz41K
「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。245Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvDn6X0VjoC
245Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzU6NZUuMGA
「何以見得？」我的手不自覺退回來，想聽他說下去。245Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5NufAi4o7G
245Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm5eItCC0Fk
「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。245Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFQDWz3WHt1
245Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcT2mqysjn8
「還以為服務業從業員都是笑臉迎人的！」我笑老闆過於主觀。245Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDCK3skssrq
245Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrenPjAXOYG
「你已然下班。」老闆眼神放軟，現出疲態：「累了，累得沒能假裝。」245Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM4tFUqzFtH
245Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ92HAaHYIzV
「你想太多。」我假笑，再次將鈔票遞予老闆。245Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSgKKxcQXJN
245Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrBiZZNNn0R
老闆點點頭，終於伸手接下鈔票，但沒有感謝我的惠顧。245Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ4DUnAB84i
245Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnG3ClXCOk7
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。245Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuB6Uzuyf88
245Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX3TaKRUCSb
心念電轉，靈光一閃，驀地抬頭。245Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhv4HiExXfM
245Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2O0iEl67Iz
算了吧。245Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡweSSzQbjSL
245Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPtd5hEKi66
難得遇到一個敢於對客人板著臉的人。245Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv91Enwxk5g
245Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk0kFehWq9X
我也想成為這樣的人。
