「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。」407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuXQjT75gcB

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。」407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEf183FwLwU
午餐時間。407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDsEmHy0JwB
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP8yS0gvq4s
同學們問我要否一起用膳，我搖首婉拒，說有約在身。407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmD5JBI1Ftx

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。407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTGQQPWpcPv

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。407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwHwy3oq260

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。407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxBk1ffdTSR
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZYgKk02LG8
「好吃嗎？」407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNfjp47dNmG
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4EpVVLu5y1
「嗯。」407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEduP43b0eN

「你要多吃一些。你太瘦了！」407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrcgCn9viUK
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNGFEWC6PUW
「嗯。」407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbbQTLCX9yF
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpwzZff8T2T
「不過下次千萬不要點『吉列』食物——你臉上已有很多暗瘡。」407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzfRQ9cEXSQ
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡREDbYRlUyZ
「嗯。」407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjwNiVcMyy8

「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。」407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA7awb9LLD1
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFJj039jSDJ
「嗯。」407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe86Sl2vSPG
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡca4biUlWcL
「要好好護理皮膚。說不定會隨時遇到真命天子！」407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXOYoSOPDDw
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4TESfIy78K

「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……」407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRUmuVZmTMk
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBQMtwih3Lx
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。407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD9ltgN1eaJ

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。407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs34aGBk1wf
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN5aTfnRDjc
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。407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKLg7Ui4Klf
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWQIBoR5Fgv
「對啊！我真的很高興！」407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe1uaXNsC3i
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQScSZ3WxSv
「嗯。」407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaqH7qz4Rpn
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf8eQnRt8Mx
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。407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVaZ4oIKTxY
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbBq8nYqzCj
我願意借她一對耳朵，聽聽她無處可訴的快樂。407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFrcOmzrvZy
他說我奇怪，怎麼會聽陌生人說心事。407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0CrTOFlGjT
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2JSKSQKF8p
我笑，為他未嘗寂寞滋味而高興。407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl1ajw5tZHo

「別客氣，怪人。」
