「自小經常遇到怪人。當中有男有女，性格迥異，唯一共通點是『老』。這麼形容似乎不太準確。其實我不知道他們的真實年齡，純粹覺得看來年紀大——對於一個小孩子，四十歲、五十歲、六十歲、七十歲的人看來分別不大。」373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtnR6mx1bP7

長大後會跟身邊人分享遇上怪人經過。他問我為何不拒絕或不逃跑，我說感覺怪人沒有惡意。他問我如何肯定對方沒有惡意，我笑答單憑感覺。他先是一愣，後來輕嘆一聲：「物以類聚。」373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4dMUWvNzVA
午餐時間。373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfD6fCLfqhm
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWbuelYz5B1
同學們問我要否一起用膳，我搖首婉拒，說有約在身。373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaHp3Ozch6r

獨自前往茶餐廳，在向隅一張二人枱坐下。侍應給我兩杯淡茶，我說自己佔一座位而已。373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvdLyqD3j1b

點餐後五分鐘，熱騰騰的吉列豬扒飯到來。還沒吃上兩三口，一個不認識的大嬸坐到對面空位，同樣點了吉列豬扒飯。373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMcgKHXcLGt
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ27ynh2FqTN
數分鐘過去，她的午餐還沒到來。她瞄了瞄我的吉列豬扒飯，開始作怪。373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbQg2lL99CP
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzSqpvIZKXW
「好吃嗎？」373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfG3cEDwU61
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIzsYQm9qbn
「嗯。」373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMBmDJiPQkP
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1mwsk12uD9
「你要多吃一些。你太瘦了！」373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiETmAhHAO6
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLZGILT9MP0
「嗯。」373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIr1GppfBR7
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDnkg6uUoKt
「不過下次千萬不要點『吉列』食物——你臉上已有很多暗瘡。」373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYRldF4LNPY
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdTPYBBeOJk
「嗯。」373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTeduJbvGmI
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9fl2buGzME
「我告訴你一條清熱秘方吧！（一堆中草藥名字）在藥材店可以輕易買到。」373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1msGbtfhAB
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ70rk8pzYR3
「嗯。」373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIbBngRvi8K
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgMEZJVJQIh
「要好好護理皮膚。說不定會隨時遇到真命天子！」373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS7WkzpJqx4
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnDXrZ8xhjE
「嗯。」373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyzFMkYHt6m

「丈夫數年前去世以後，我一直以為自己這種年紀、這種外貌該不會再遇到甚麼好人好事，誰料上個月……」373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs4y67bnsCL
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXDxCzXTMZn
她突然頓住。我知道她正在等待我作出反應，例如好奇追問或是報以微笑。我選擇後者——我對她的故事不感興趣，無法假裝好奇。373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUI4wYOjEtl
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVmo4m23ilK
「誰料上個月在社區中心遇到他！他前天還邀請我周末一起飲茶！」373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ40wszPGohn
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAiGFPZ6fWo
「真好。」373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzlAVIbebNl

同枱十五分鐘，這是我第一次給予正式回應，順道仔細打量大嬸。373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn5lSvDgQ9C
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxtxo2UaNOo
平平無奇的中年大嬸。樣子不美不醜，身材不肥不瘦不高不矮，衣著不新潮亦不土氣。過目即忘那一類。373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPhMSmNTcKr
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbrkDPAfyx5
「對啊！我真的很高興！」373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2GM3S6YziF
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvT5W972npa
「嗯。」373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuKDurOZxIZ
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxJnDGLimcB
我再次冷對大嬸。因為她根本不在意我是否在意——她只需一雙願意聆聽的耳朵。373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDftA0fbpfi
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTiOxdWphMr
我願意借她一對耳朵，聽聽她無處可訴的快樂。373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2FxrBRaYlV
他說我奇怪，怎麼會聽陌生人說心事。373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡedFghIlNbQ
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmPpCLfGj9d
我笑，為他未嘗寂寞滋味而高興。373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSQJamvpk7g
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOz4TqsViwZ
「謝謝你聽我說怪人的故事。」373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlig0EonkAj
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj5rOsO1Ex5
「別客氣，怪人。」
