夜深，我拖著疲憊身軀來到準備打烊的麵店。226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxABGrFXVIE
226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfzwyhLG8Mx
「一碗淨麵。」226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOn62k86j89
226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVxAaD2N0lr
老闆瞥了我一眼，不發一言，雙手來回忙著。226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQmi9zIw64X
226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7iEx8zgQtj
他的臉色不大好看，正如我剛才點菜時的語氣也不禮貌。226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq8LVaVAQKF
226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi6QQ43RnYa
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。226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkftahBuiGJ
226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkD2tcGYCrC
火在燒，水在滾，麵在翻。心在跳，耳在聽，手在動。226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQlZOnhrFun
226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwkINp9ppxN
各有前因，各有煩惱，毋須對號入座。226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5Hbad71LW0
226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsS8xrQ0UoY
麵來了。226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3qihnqki25
226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU5pTT321vX
名副其實的淨麵。沒有湯汁，沒有調味料，沒有配料。226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7leWXFuBui
226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuj1DQ9dcDs
「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。226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDlI9Q1mNON
226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFk6xRnpIkY
「我不需要它好吃。」我低頭吃麵，心裡希望老闆閉嘴。226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡokoIQk0hK1
226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5ahBDocq0y
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。226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX14mKw0bFB
226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjzucsQBwFN
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。」226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡevP7LZWb8S
226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLWWZskwWxr
「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。226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC7Nkc1aXAR
226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOCBJERvWgz
「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。226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUfObpLfl5V
226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqx6Qh9Scyw
「何以見得？」我的手不自覺退回來，想聽他說下去。226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAGFlQVnlAo
226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkAMgEIm1vC
「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。226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJgVTVjSClW
226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqFOBhSzXrt
「還以為服務業從業員都是笑臉迎人的！」我笑老闆過於主觀。226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJL6ZEQsEI3
226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC15Ys2jF1N
「你已然下班。」老闆眼神放軟，現出疲態：「累了，累得沒能假裝。」226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM2Ttt1ijM7
226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnIwTmMcIiy
「你想太多。」我假笑，再次將鈔票遞予老闆。226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmqSkGQOOqb
226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5ceeNMAAId
老闆點點頭，終於伸手接下鈔票，但沒有感謝我的惠顧。226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW0Gkc9qCrp
226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSDZSGGZ3WB
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。226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8VcQvpjIjb
226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrFcv85MmbS
心念電轉，靈光一閃，驀地抬頭。226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5B74dFWst0
226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdUfdtfAJzN
算了吧。226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbO0ZMj7aJb
226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcdbinxrxjD
難得遇到一個敢於對客人板著臉的人。226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuut1RyRnX2
226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXR3zY62V2M
我也想成為這樣的人。
