夜深，我拖著疲憊身軀來到準備打烊的麵店。295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSfPVNEQx9r
295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAGXl914NmS
「一碗淨麵。」295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqzls9NTXcq
295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH76SVjfow9
老闆瞥了我一眼，不發一言，雙手來回忙著。295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZQ5aCxwTOm
295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEk6V46W8HS
他的臉色不大好看，正如我剛才點菜時的語氣也不禮貌。295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEBS5uDRWgI
295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRwJ0OpMT69
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。295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYxQeYhNy1z
295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgpxiPsYrQt
火在燒，水在滾，麵在翻。心在跳，耳在聽，手在動。295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡloMbQtRewm
295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5s3Leax9X1
各有前因，各有煩惱，毋須對號入座。295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡczPFx4PHCJ
295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7Z43McCaoX
麵來了。295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡovcSRK1X0t
295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtasucoZOIs
名副其實的淨麵。沒有湯汁，沒有調味料，沒有配料。295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY1DNPy33VY
295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9FG1P3h5WD
「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。295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUC6WtLlhLl
295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1NOohmhcDL
「我不需要它好吃。」我低頭吃麵，心裡希望老闆閉嘴。295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyyUGbtB8zf
295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4bcTqn7jYT
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。295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh8axdbJxmu
295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwbQhj4B3fx
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。」295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDgDShjcZkH
295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSKTQbtWTg2
「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。295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdZvdwYmaew
295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDo9IGwk2Ka
「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。295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwWMVFqvx0B
295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEpBIYAvAh4
「何以見得？」我的手不自覺退回來，想聽他說下去。295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPJSFriztDA
295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIpaoWeM1rS
「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。295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQIQeGTFhqR
295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRobuYW70fd
「還以為服務業從業員都是笑臉迎人的！」我笑老闆過於主觀。295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrn7fwal8Ss
295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSVRuzLeyBG
「你已然下班。」老闆眼神放軟，現出疲態：「累了，累得沒能假裝。」295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4kzAJvydlk
295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5gSS5Bbkqe
「你想太多。」我假笑，再次將鈔票遞予老闆。295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCM4DTFMEjK
295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMUnIvB8s4k
老闆點點頭，終於伸手接下鈔票，但沒有感謝我的惠顧。295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVFyPqtV8M2
295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3luqt0uirM
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。295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVWZKrUIl2g
295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVUFEdjLOoj
心念電轉，靈光一閃，驀地抬頭。295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6Ipxrs2o1q
295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxfR1VT67T5
算了吧。295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl66QO9v67s
295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡckk5vKx93f
難得遇到一個敢於對客人板著臉的人。295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5Sgf9HuOQu
295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiS7Cs5G3ja
我也想成為這樣的人。
