夜深，我拖著疲憊身軀來到準備打烊的麵店。200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0eiXL7sHc7
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡohGmZbRFg1
「一碗淨麵。」200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKCZwUYhCo4
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEezXoqEdLJ
老闆瞥了我一眼，不發一言，雙手來回忙著。200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2rY69MpBGH
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLqlE2WHhc9
他的臉色不大好看，正如我剛才點菜時的語氣也不禮貌。200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9OLcCZRbgh
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeOkuCAz1OC
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。200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZQNCTo0jZ6
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5eIOf8i7d8
火在燒，水在滾，麵在翻。心在跳，耳在聽，手在動。200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡauvZ3jn40i
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtSgfejITcx
各有前因，各有煩惱，毋須對號入座。200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ31QrcAXzgQ
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS0qnLdOHuf
麵來了。200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJmLBkIM2so
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5LVVzcVZ5Y
名副其實的淨麵。沒有湯汁，沒有調味料，沒有配料。200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjwdbMq9o6v
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgg3Qzqgfct
「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。200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUDdgk76OBq
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7w6Ig5NXZc
「我不需要它好吃。」我低頭吃麵，心裡希望老闆閉嘴。200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfbPDkwR2gK
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRwT6GHCpjX
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。200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb4y77db4Ha
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7pruUsBjCN
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。」200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcGlJKOjGcP
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡifjs6IeVQx
「有沒有甚麼特別發現？」我拿著鈔票的手沒有收回，定在空中伸向老闆。200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu3W6fvwLR0
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbCq4wBe0w8
「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。200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUR6Krzrawa
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj9Mvl8pp6J
「何以見得？」我的手不自覺退回來，想聽他說下去。200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTEEen32SLY
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ951RmaQ0pi
「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。200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHdGS0GxpAZ
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4AdTMO9c7a
「還以為服務業從業員都是笑臉迎人的！」我笑老闆過於主觀。200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ393U2pXENN
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU92wHFrote
「你已然下班。」老闆眼神放軟，現出疲態：「累了，累得沒能假裝。」200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpMuzUZOAvj
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxYqk0Thnji
「你想太多。」我假笑，再次將鈔票遞予老闆。200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTBpJJF5op8
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0JnXQ7Jlyn
老闆點點頭，終於伸手接下鈔票，但沒有感謝我的惠顧。200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgri8ZbLebI
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh5sSxCqZxg
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。200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj1ShevWfaD
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5BqhXelxqx
心念電轉，靈光一閃，驀地抬頭。200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNJHuDf9RjF
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ894rNBp5YI
算了吧。200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcwi7JmD4FB
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuUnR3XQeD9
難得遇到一個敢於對客人板著臉的人。200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ7Vr2EYgLE
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrYwxrdd5cA
我也想成為這樣的人。
