「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。」368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXl8zSL5uUy

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。」368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp3ASFbRx4Y
午餐時間。368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVkYS1JLoW1
368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB6IF4W7k2O
同學們問我要否一起用膳，我搖首婉拒，說有約在身。368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOaM27f4qCk

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。368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb5jZGgsbki

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。368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYj0UXBFWDA

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。368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgjPrJVCDaM
368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqSvyLP0m9T
「好吃嗎？」368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡALi7RdTBU9
368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMg1R7Ui0fA
「嗯。」368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9MJLgU7lMH
368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡULK60n7Aln
「你要多吃一些。你太瘦了！」368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwk0dtPU6ml
368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjtSPMP4wFl
「嗯。」368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSCYS1DU21g
368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJLgXO1fiIE
「不過下次千萬不要點『吉列』食物——你臉上已有很多暗瘡。」368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEiPQx9S71w
368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVIEBEDA2nS
「嗯。」368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv1X0Gv5hFf

「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。」368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEQhnmbceJv
368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5J6pmoUHc6
「嗯。」368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaB71jEPfPJ
368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡceiOql7FNx
「要好好護理皮膚。說不定會隨時遇到真命天子！」368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS7MwI0pz7f
368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTHXZfgYp1Y
「嗯。」368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWApbtdDezG

「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……」368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYT3ogYpV0x
368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRh6Bw58Gyo
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。368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdKwtZIMFio
368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL3JNrUVwu0
「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！」368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJQRE2jJcHq

「真好。」368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjRkUfR5lR8

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。368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVeNbsSI62C
368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvdvXPVlnHD
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。368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8g1T1RdSaR
368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7m4nl1tdZj
「對啊！我真的很高興！」368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxMfzv7b65c
368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvgWStvEZQJ
「嗯。」368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkZfqdhGV6j
368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGe48K9DAEt
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。368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGXPOMY4H5p
368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz95I8dGEUW
我願意借她一對耳朵，聽聽她無處可訴的快樂。368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEqLt19LnCu
他說我奇怪，怎麼會聽陌生人說心事。368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5vFHNY7l9w
368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9KxVoNYECS
我笑，為他未嘗寂寞滋味而高興。368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrl85rjJEdL
368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW9BE6jkcdy
「謝謝你聽我說怪人的故事。」368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9AORT5x8yl
368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcysMgKf9nx
「別客氣，怪人。」
