「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。」300Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD2gNfgdaI0

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。」300Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwhwGqb6dd8
午餐時間。300Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUSblEAIRbx
300Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1TvJ2tllcL
同學們問我要否一起用膳，我搖首婉拒，說有約在身。300Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6SwYFsJLRr

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。300Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHbr985EhWI

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。300Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQzwoMnd9Bi

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。300Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7Ksl1BZ2yk
300Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW6qJM98OtE
「好吃嗎？」300Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjsJJBz5P45
300Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg4FzfT8bSG
「嗯。」300Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc15OaLY29n
300Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKRq4IfhT8Q
「你要多吃一些。你太瘦了！」300Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDFVwZ2C4br
300Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWSlwf6QddI
「嗯。」300Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAGjpyzwNAd
300Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4va8adlwSM
「不過下次千萬不要點『吉列』食物——你臉上已有很多暗瘡。」300Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3GzZs827hA
300Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGYoNbL8udH
「嗯。」300Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡASJSmzzXtM

「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。」300Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc7SCJS3Qz5
300Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6usYnMHz0N
「嗯。」300Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgNXIpyKMOe
300Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW9kE2oQa5f
「要好好護理皮膚。說不定會隨時遇到真命天子！」300Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg9cUDpH4j6
300Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1RLVdlzsvd
「嗯。」300Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYJjYXBAS0W

「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……」300Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWj9F28PgSQ
300Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl3D72ntGm2
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。300Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgnY8Ro4Mrb
300Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUAh0DPc3LD
「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！」300Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPxPFEtOeUe

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。300Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQqQ5ix9rcv
300Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU5FvlsFTcY
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。300Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnqViIiBB6d
300Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFOucY9zohL
「對啊！我真的很高興！」300Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb82LncDXTb
300Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlCs9ohHGdv
「嗯。」300Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkLGsCYHt28
300Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbc2wEvJND8
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。300Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDZ1BP60Ct0
300Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYLt3lijQQw
我願意借她一對耳朵，聽聽她無處可訴的快樂。300Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj7gJ3K4s5M
他說我奇怪，怎麼會聽陌生人說心事。300Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡox5OrcV8KK
300Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVhvy1z9I1Z
我笑，為他未嘗寂寞滋味而高興。300Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNw7NoGgi25

「謝謝你聽我說怪人的故事。」300Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlkihx4sknn

「別客氣，怪人。」
