「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。」380Please respect copyright.PENANAoV4090ZYgA

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。」380Please respect copyright.PENANAJIXZ2rzg4L
午餐時間。380Please respect copyright.PENANA9sOFWiJ4UR
380Please respect copyright.PENANA3uOfNL17Xm
同學們問我要否一起用膳,我搖首婉拒,說有約在身。380Please respect copyright.PENANAeUSFTiQqru

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。380Please respect copyright.PENANAbuPaVk3Bvl

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。380Please respect copyright.PENANAdVAlxYGfUX
380Please respect copyright.PENANAi7pbgWgTAW
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。380Please respect copyright.PENANA0gGieXCWm3
380Please respect copyright.PENANAwzIODAJWuS
「好吃嗎?」380Please respect copyright.PENANAtt98sSBO9p
380Please respect copyright.PENANA9bcrfnbvSx
「嗯。」380Please respect copyright.PENANAi47uOKJCDf
380Please respect copyright.PENANAD6DlQWDQAm
「你要多吃一些。你太瘦了!」380Please respect copyright.PENANAHRIQ6mK8ZV
380Please respect copyright.PENANAcaQ0UQ8LVe
「嗯。」380Please respect copyright.PENANAa2x6N8Q1xB
380Please respect copyright.PENANAKICb6caNHD
「不過下次千萬不要點『吉列』食物——你臉上已有很多暗瘡。」380Please respect copyright.PENANADBskUEkGRd
380Please respect copyright.PENANADIBBCdiHmV
「嗯。」380Please respect copyright.PENANAQkO9qCFpqv
380Please respect copyright.PENANAf5QppdL26M
「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。」380Please respect copyright.PENANAqolXYQbjr4
380Please respect copyright.PENANAw26GbDK7D6
「嗯。」380Please respect copyright.PENANAgHZrb0pE6N
380Please respect copyright.PENANAr9B5Jcwx8I
「要好好護理皮膚。說不定會隨時遇到真命天子!」380Please respect copyright.PENANAPqCsxWmKMg
380Please respect copyright.PENANAzEE1XxcpUE
「嗯。」380Please respect copyright.PENANABP6u8iWTul

「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……」380Please respect copyright.PENANAEt5gH71R6o
380Please respect copyright.PENANA0Og1x56pDb
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。380Please respect copyright.PENANAv02FukP8g1
380Please respect copyright.PENANAQkH7ZY5cGv
「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!」380Please respect copyright.PENANAvkniXUugI5
380Please respect copyright.PENANAm3LXHjHxmS
「真好。」380Please respect copyright.PENANARhESC1BLd4
380Please respect copyright.PENANANdrGRt6Yqq
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。380Please respect copyright.PENANATfoEEGnGwq
380Please respect copyright.PENANAfeQa7BYzTg
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。380Please respect copyright.PENANASmmo1yrSLu
380Please respect copyright.PENANAzkxtaS3bbW
「對啊!我真的很高興!」380Please respect copyright.PENANA1wG4QezRBM
380Please respect copyright.PENANAKbGZ14YqOL
「嗯。」380Please respect copyright.PENANAhTkgcO9L9d
380Please respect copyright.PENANAOawlLlP4Va
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。380Please respect copyright.PENANAkG9TbyCyFW
380Please respect copyright.PENANAKODZD4Q1Y1
我願意借她一對耳朵,聽聽她無處可訴的快樂。380Please respect copyright.PENANA2WUIpdlUEt
他說我奇怪,怎麼會聽陌生人說心事。380Please respect copyright.PENANACJHjsKC8OU
380Please respect copyright.PENANACAulw1lRBC
我笑,為他未嘗寂寞滋味而高興。380Please respect copyright.PENANAh61QvFtTf8
380Please respect copyright.PENANAOkS6HSWRpa
「謝謝你聽我說怪人的故事。」380Please respect copyright.PENANAU8pkKTLsjY
380Please respect copyright.PENANAVPzzT5wKQi
「別客氣,怪人。」
