第九章 我有一个梦想（一）（1 / 1）

随着我深情的解释完毕，全班的同学都傻了，班级里很安静，安静的有点可怕，同学们都震撼了，这可比刚才的语文课上的震撼大的多。他们心中同时想到这家伙还是人吗？怎么什么都会啊？另外有很多的女生被我刚才的忧郁的神情所深深的吸引，她们被我深深的所折服，以致她们都对我发出爱慕的信号。另外还有一些女生被我的神情，气质所感染，她们的母性被我激发，她们都有种想安慰我一番的冲动。

时尚美女美女老师更是被我所深深的吸引，她发现在我翻译是仿佛心中的什么东西被触动了。我当时那忧郁的眼神，磁性的声音，表情更是无助的，这些使她有种冲上来将我揽在怀中好好的呵护，分担我心中的忧郁的事情，甚至想将我所有的苦闷都负担在自己的深上，时尚美女老师不明白是什么事情让一位本该充满生机的高中生如此的颓废。她对我产生了好奇，她要了解我，要将我从那种连她都觉得十分压抑，让人心碎的不快中拯救出来。

不言时尚美女老师现在是什么心情，我现在很难受，难受的我想哭泣。因为我在刚才翻译时想到了我的表姐，母亲与其他亲人，虽然我给了她们足够的天材地宝，足够她们冲破玄关达到神尊的境界，从此而拥有无尽的生命。但我还是十分的担心，我不知道我的表姐有没有因为我的突然消失而做出什么出格的事，她有没有因为我的消失而过度思念，会不会被嫁出去？哎，母亲会不会过度的思念我而相思成疾？她们会不会有什么意外，在多年后的今天我们还能不能相见，我好想念你们啊！当我们相见时你们还能不能认出我来？哎......

由于我的对表姐，母亲她们的思念，使得我给人的感觉更加的忧郁，更加的充满惆怅，更加的引人怜爱，更加的让人心碎，以致有很多同学都不敢再看我，因为他们怕被我感染，他们怕控制不住自己。时尚美女老师更是如此，她甚至都要忍不住将我揽在怀里。不过还好她控制力比较强，其实是我发现了现在同学们都被我感染了，很快我就从对表姐她们的思念中恢复出来，很好的控制了自己的感情，表情，从外表看似乎刚才的那人不是我。此时的我嘴角挂着坏坏的笑容，懒散的表情，忧郁但又潇洒的气质给人的感觉很矛盾但在我的身上却完美的糅合在一起而且感觉很和谐。

随着我收敛心神，时尚美女老师也很快从我给她的那种感觉中摆脱出来。她似乎也发现了自己的失态，脸色微红，恼怒的瞪了我一眼。我很无辜，很怀疑，时尚美女老师为什么瞪我啊？而且我们的美女语文老师也爱这样瞪人，不过那感觉给仿佛是暗送秋波。我可不认为时尚美女老师会给我暗送秋波，我肯定在哪里得罪她了。不过我很怀疑，我哪里得罪她了？不会是给美女语文老师报仇的吧？

时尚美女老师现在很不高兴，虽然我刚才对她的震撼很大，但我竟然让她在大庭广众之下出丑，她决定要报复我，于是看着我的眼神变了。我觉得时尚美女老师的眼神变了，变的有点阴沉，有点被毒蛇盯上的感觉。而且时尚美女老师的笑在别的学生那很诱人，很有杀伤力，但我怎么觉得像死神的微笑。很快我的感觉便应验了。时尚美女老师对我道：“叶星寒，一首莎士比亚的14行情诗不算什么，现在你听好了。”很快时尚美女老师就很有声请的朗诵道：“IHaveADream
