夜深，我來到準備打烊的麵店。318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzEQcfMyuM7
318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSjCpIwmRMK
「一碗淨麵。」318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡERQYxNHzc5
318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJB9L2zBbu3
老闆瞥了我一眼，不發一言，雙手來回忙著。318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIbinqcINpv
318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfwxHmhiXHS
他的臉色不大好看，正如我剛才點菜時的語氣也不禮貌。318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjor6I75A6X
318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2KWPy7fr3U
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。318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4p2i3vvUsH
318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzcEsiOkuYX
麵來了。318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRnq6NBf1BC
318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHxBhoTmUhu
名副其實的淨麵。沒有湯汁，沒有調味料，沒有配料。318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0kp2W9OUy7
318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6q63VcpD4V
「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。318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd6fKs3RTXY
318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4ujw3STwly
「我不需要它好吃。」我低頭吃麵，心裡希望老闆閉嘴。318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTgO5mGXnjW
318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUX1ROvESBQ
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。318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMuQ2BRgO7P
318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6oYLroLun5
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。」318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnTmqFZDPKp
318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqNcmPcyWvI
「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。318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdnZ5QbeDYN
318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPjswKnFHto
「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。318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡymWkaruFbC
318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeiUWQjqbbB
「何以見得？」我的手不自覺退回來。318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZEfbqmrQB4
318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRlNzaPgT66
「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。318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbCh8JME8pP
318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDTQfGxZ1e2
「還以為服務業從業員都是笑臉迎人的！」我笑老闆過於主觀。318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnIl5ozQxKp
318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCSBHa0STom
「你已然下班。」老闆眼神放軟，狀甚憐惜：「你累了，累得沒能假裝。」318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMX13sGOKlh
318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh4tfneHeG9
「你想太多。」我假笑，再次將鈔票遞予老闆。318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxCOr5dkgMy
318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJPRBEXchQT
老闆點點頭，終於伸手接下鈔票，但沒有感謝我的惠顧。318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRPewbGDDAA
318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzXEy91bMea
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。318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJLqNyjLhbk
318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡChZpsqxjL7
心念電轉，靈光一閃，驀地抬頭。318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYXYZQDoFBz
318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNCO9krkIWM
算了吧。318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvIEFSP7l1v
318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1qJcqL1sCZ
難得遇到一個敢於對客人板著臉的老闆。
