夜深，我來到準備打烊的麵店。386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9cv1AmTWFF
386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU0SnXJeNjn
「一碗淨麵。」386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPuJj677Cem
386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh0oMDNkk7g
老闆瞥了我一眼，不發一言，雙手來回忙著。386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡws7Yx2HywZ
386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFXSdbecYod
他的臉色不大好看，正如我剛才點菜時的語氣也不禮貌。386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZnvZjrVItf
386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ169i7BEOSF
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。各有前因，各有煩惱，毋須對號入座。386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvwKUPaobR1
386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIgCyFDCsAB
麵來了。386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjHFUGp5QIM
386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqICaYVgWcs
名副其實的淨麵。沒有湯汁，沒有調味料，沒有配料。386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6HXFA0YRwI
386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcR3i5p7bWT
「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。386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwoz1UybIf4
386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBNLZcVbLcP
「我不需要它好吃。」我低頭吃麵，心裡希望老闆閉嘴。386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo7RtU6NSs7
386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ33pCTpuVyd
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。386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgKBwzqaGv1
386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYbAqYYkdjw
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。」386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaxs9G19M3I
386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd3JAoXGVlW
「有沒有甚麼特別發現？」我拿著鈔票的手沒有收回，繼續遞向老闆。386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaLECdqSK4C
386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSBOqvUjI7u
「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。386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGNZJwEIOq2
386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs2FGqK2Cbj
「何以見得？」我的手不自覺退回來。386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOVXWcsK3LP
386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdCrUPmcnfn
「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。386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYindUSmefr
386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ48lIB4ij45
「還以為服務業從業員都是笑臉迎人的！」我笑老闆過於主觀。386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL18MWdAy9k
386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡphh96wellu
「你已然下班。」老闆眼神放軟，狀甚憐惜：「你累了，累得沒能假裝。」386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVBXUaMGhxJ
386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUJYPu1dybR
「你想太多。」我假笑，再次將鈔票遞予老闆。386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmq2vOwXqHO
386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqgZTqdjnYA
老闆點點頭，終於伸手接下鈔票，但沒有感謝我的惠顧。386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR1BibMWLhO
386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDCeEwvy206
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。386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡopCGaH1FdF
386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmnv3WOYpq6
心念電轉，靈光一閃，驀地抬頭。386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7eMzYjRVin
386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhblyX70Dun
算了吧。386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqkkJQDPMJT
386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfX6LwqmIBS
難得遇到一個敢於對客人板著臉的老闆。
