「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。」298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrvsIKNduDl

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。」298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVey5Iv9V5C
午餐時間。298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkbr95AuwGt
298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDh4m3GWWy7
同學們問我要否一起用膳，我搖首婉拒，說有約在身。298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmDE0KftFLd

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。298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVn3xQgiImm

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。298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUkgBpqNVrx

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。298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz4arsXSRE3
298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA0aKljYVi8
「好吃嗎？」298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIrf012vf4X
298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNNOSFuVI6c
「嗯。」298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHMR9qonWj7
298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV3qKIhSsOw
「你要多吃一些。你太瘦了！」298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtDJEweAyNr
298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0hv6YCBEkI
「嗯。」298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHtXUz2pZn4
298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCRlrDGygVn
「不過下次千萬不要點『吉列』食物——你臉上已有很多暗瘡。」298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGOVt3cONBW
298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHg2EU8MO8v
「嗯。」298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUTfe35WJsw

「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。」298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj0KsOWOboW
298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTVUXk9Jg2V
「嗯。」298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxqDbrc8agY
298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcRuctU1CJ1
「要好好護理皮膚。說不定會隨時遇到真命天子！」298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXvVPsxa4rB
298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSnNxxwl32M
「嗯。」298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZGIxYkMq8q

「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……」298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV5tWqJJLZd
298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4CLiBG31DX
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。298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjb3IXnzyxi

「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！」298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsHscldZppZ

「真好。」298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsQCz30IV8F

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。298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeIIKBVx3zA
298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvJSz7Smlkz
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。298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPi2qp9kqNI
298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYA7vxixole
「對啊！我真的很高興！」298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMAGXRIzDon
298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCzMJZ663nL
「嗯。」298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnBQU8yFIUI
298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuqTPAcbhfD
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。298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk8Pp02ZWDV
298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeCkwzBbxCJ
我願意借她一對耳朵，聽聽她無處可訴的快樂。298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0BdL5bn9f5
他說我奇怪，怎麼會聽陌生人說心事。298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgcQiEwWeT4
298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdUelEiZg2y
我笑，為他未嘗寂寞滋味而高興。298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU2ix0aoOkl

「謝謝你聽我說怪人的故事。」298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2T8ofNKctZ

「別客氣，怪人。」
