劳伦斯先生格外耐心,不慌不忙地回答着小女孩每一个问题:“你爸爸非常聪明,学习成绩出类拔萃,还是学校棒球队的主力投手呢!他有一个小女朋友叫什么来着,哦,对了叫,艾米丽,两人可是一对儿活宝。”
羽悠兴致盎然地问:“啊?真的吗?”
劳伦斯先生说:“你知道吗?他们俩居然在’音乐星期五’的晚上,在学校的舞台上大唱《Hot for Teacher》,小克利那段吉他炫技简直让在场的所有同学都为他疯狂了。”
劳伦斯先生看到羽悠一脸迷茫样子,就知道,这首歌离二十一世纪的孩子实在太遥远了,以至于她完全抓不到笑点,于是,劳伦斯先生索性站起来,假装手里抱着一个吉他,学着当年羽悠爸爸小时候的样子唱了起来:
“Oh yeah!
T-T-teacher stop that screaming
Teacher don't you see?
Don't wanna be no uptown fool
Maybe I should go to hell
But I am doing well
Teacher needs to see me after school
I think of all the education that I've missed
But then my homework was never quite like this!
Ow! Got it bad,
Got it bad,
Got it bad,
I'm hot for teacher!
I've got it bad, so bad
I'm hot for teacher!
Hey, I heard you missed us
We're back! (Hey!)
I brought my pencil
Give me something to write on, man!
Whoa……Uh!
I heard about your lessons
But lessons are so cold
I didn't know about this school
Little girl from Cherry Lawn
How can you be so bold?
How did you know that golden rule?
I think of all the education that I've missed
But then my homework was never quite like this!
Whoa! Got it bad……”
劳伦斯先生滑稽的表演配上调侃老师的搞笑歌词,把羽悠逗得捂着肚子笑起来,几乎从沙发跌到地上。
一旁的威廉笑容僵在唇角,愣愣地看着羽悠。
他见过她冷静,见过她决绝,见过她无动于衷,却从来没有见到羽悠如此开怀,他觉得自己忽然不认识眼前这个女孩了。
在图书馆楼下道别的时候,劳伦斯先生握着羽悠的手说:“没想到今天能在母校遇到老朋友的女儿,请带我向你爸爸问好。”
羽悠的笑容瞬间冷在唇部,随即,低头“嗯”了一声。还好,劳伦斯先生又转向一边感谢威廉,羽悠微小的情绪变化,没有引起他太多的注意。
