「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。」379Please respect copyright.PENANAf5gJDTsEYB

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。」379Please respect copyright.PENANAefG5I3XBQy
午餐時間。379Please respect copyright.PENANALQiJk0NSyh
379Please respect copyright.PENANAuam82w7cJM
同學們問我要否一起用膳,我搖首婉拒,說有約在身。379Please respect copyright.PENANAQN7z7FzqPe

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。379Please respect copyright.PENANAZpxx8afzNg

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。379Please respect copyright.PENANAzd5SvL0ZSH
379Please respect copyright.PENANAS74OMfWNDA
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。379Please respect copyright.PENANAukDXuPR7jQ
379Please respect copyright.PENANAUYWwqPtK01
「好吃嗎?」379Please respect copyright.PENANAFuLvwGoyVe
379Please respect copyright.PENANAselmsdbRfm
「嗯。」379Please respect copyright.PENANAgMIldRyWv2
379Please respect copyright.PENANALW5DuG3tdf
「你要多吃一些。你太瘦了!」379Please respect copyright.PENANAdHQiXZBnI7
379Please respect copyright.PENANA3GF8A0vZgX
「嗯。」379Please respect copyright.PENANACHxYj0LOjS
379Please respect copyright.PENANANQw3mCNBk7
「不過下次千萬不要點『吉列』食物——你臉上已有很多暗瘡。」379Please respect copyright.PENANAAVlh9r2bfm
379Please respect copyright.PENANAKvy9t14O35
「嗯。」379Please respect copyright.PENANAIyW2J7IzNs
379Please respect copyright.PENANAP6RDqz2IFH
「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。」379Please respect copyright.PENANApJrHdmdLaY
379Please respect copyright.PENANAHtvQIJz7rj
「嗯。」379Please respect copyright.PENANAky6ydrqiAK
379Please respect copyright.PENANAbJU5JbKcFf
「要好好護理皮膚。說不定會隨時遇到真命天子!」379Please respect copyright.PENANAlxqCAIotNj
379Please respect copyright.PENANAm9BsyVXWca
「嗯。」379Please respect copyright.PENANAq4SflSCKpG

「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……」379Please respect copyright.PENANAC0diQdtIUz
379Please respect copyright.PENANAZOBZprKCjb
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。379Please respect copyright.PENANAgtafGC4eJC
379Please respect copyright.PENANAgnOGXcRH0L
「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!」379Please respect copyright.PENANAIejab8EwrU
379Please respect copyright.PENANA8wuLdh2TfQ
「真好。」379Please respect copyright.PENANARUlQM6wNOv
379Please respect copyright.PENANAPySlydSrLP
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。379Please respect copyright.PENANA7VdOWeij57
379Please respect copyright.PENANAG3ZRmJBiej
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。379Please respect copyright.PENANAgAC1RQbA5m
379Please respect copyright.PENANAscSTT5EMQt
「對啊!我真的很高興!」379Please respect copyright.PENANA84MeL2dXF1
379Please respect copyright.PENANAURl9SEN3ss
「嗯。」379Please respect copyright.PENANAJv9Rc0hVGg
379Please respect copyright.PENANAQ2ogmIpjND
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。379Please respect copyright.PENANASPFv5OGyP5
379Please respect copyright.PENANAkRC36Vv1JR
我願意借她一對耳朵,聽聽她無處可訴的快樂。379Please respect copyright.PENANAPw7DdK5O1B
他說我奇怪,怎麼會聽陌生人說心事。379Please respect copyright.PENANAQDkWDKja2n
379Please respect copyright.PENANAZkTvN2rUlb
我笑,為他未嘗寂寞滋味而高興。379Please respect copyright.PENANApg8Q6II4w5

「謝謝你聽我說怪人的故事。」379Please respect copyright.PENANArpQxv6v8Zf
379Please respect copyright.PENANAuPOGWnU2Fy
「別客氣,怪人。」
