Chapter 14: Betting
Isabella's face changed, and she was about to explain, but Chen Luo spoke first: "Rumors, this is purely a rumor, Teacher Britney don't listen to their nonsense......"
The expression on Isabella's face froze, although the guy said what she wanted to say, but what did he mean by his eagerness to draw a line with herself?
Is it a shame for him to associate with the beautiful Isabella?
Knowing that Chen Luo was explaining the misunderstanding, Isabella's heart became even more angry for no reason.
Britney looked at Chen Luo, then at Isabella, and said with a smile: "Don't worry, I'm not trying to stop you from dating, the pursuit of love is everyone's freedom and right, as long as you don't affect your studies because of your relationship." ”
"Teacher Britney misunderstood, I have nothing to do with Blair, let alone a relationship. Thinking of causing such a big misunderstanding because of her stupidity, Isabella's face was a little ugly, she stood up, bowed to Teacher Britney, and said, "I'll go back first." ”
Britney watched her walk out, her face was a little surprised, she looked at Chen Luo again, and asked, "Blair, do you have any conflicts with Isabella?"
Chen Luo is also very innocent in her heart, these rumors are obviously released by herself, and she is the one who is angry in the end, and the woman is really unreasonable.
He told Ms. Britney about his feud with Isabella, and if she had mediated it, it might have been easier.
Even from the perspective of self-interest, Chen Luo didn't want to offend the daughter of the city lord, whether it was in Arpo City or in St. Donas Academy, Isabella's identity was very sensitive, and if she was entangled with her, there would be countless troubles.
The path of the Holy Demon Master was already full of difficulties and bumps, and Chen Luo didn't want to be affected by other things.
After hearing this, Britney shook her head slightly and said: "Regarding this matter, I think Blair you should seriously apologize to Isabella and beg her forgiveness, although Isabella is a little willful, she is still kind-hearted." ”
Chen Luo had a look of surprise on his face, judging from Teacher Britney's expression and words, the matter seemed to be more serious than he imagined.
Britney saw his doubts and couldn't help asking, "Blair, don't you know that a lady's lips are a symbol of chastity, and they can't be touched by any other man except their husband?"
“......”
Chen Luo finally understood why Isabella held on to this matter.
In ancient China, a girl's feet were a symbol of chastity, and they could not be shown to men casually, let alone touched, Chen Luo read in a book that in ancient times, there was a woman who cut off her feet because she was seen barefoot by men, and was regarded as a model of a martyr......
It is clear that in this world, it is the lips that symbolize chastity.
Although this is feudal dross and is not worth advocating, after following the customs of the locals and knowing this custom, Chen Luo understands that with Isabella's character, she is already very restrained in not cutting herself.
He nodded instructively and said, "I know, I'll apologize to Isabella seriously." ”
For a lady, being touched on the lips by a man is a humiliation that cannot be forgiven.
Even if Chen Luo feels that the words Isabella and lady have nothing to do with each other, as a man, he must also have the responsibility and courage to admit his mistakes.
To show his sincerity, he spent ten silver coins on a bracelet of exquisite workmanship, which he intended as a gift of apology.
For him, who was shy in his pocket, he was very distressed by the ten silver coins spent, but it was also worth it in order to avoid greater trouble.
It's a pity that Isabella obviously hates him, Chen Luo went to the third grade twice, but he didn't see her as he wished, even though she was sitting in the classroom.
However, fellow Britney Spears' students, even if Isabella hates him, need to be in the same room with him for an hour after school every day.
Teacher Britney had some teaching matters today, so she left homework for Chen Luo and Isabella and went out.
Chen Luo finished writing the five difficult questions assigned by Teacher Britney in ten minutes, and turned his head to see that Isabella had already finished writing the third question.
Chen Luo put down his pen, looked at Isabella, and said, "Senior Sister Isabella." ”
Isabella glanced up at him, then turned her head away with a blank expression.
Chen Luo took out a box, put it on the table in front of her, and said, "Regarding the matter of not intentionally offending Senior Sister Isabella a few days ago, I sincerely apologize to you, this is a small gift, I hope you can accept it." ”
Isabella was angry that Chen Luo was offended to her, and she was also angry at his attitude towards her, since she was a child, no one had ever been so rude to her, if it weren't for Teacher Britney, Blair would have tasted Isabella's anger a long time ago.
Because of the relationship between Teacher Britney, Isabella is destined not to do anything to him, seeing that Chen Luo's attitude is quite sincere, she glanced at him lightly and said: "I won't ask for your gift, for the sake of Teacher Britney's face, our grievances will be written off, don't bother me in the future." ”
"Thank you, Sister Isabella. Chen Luo waited for her words, and simply took the gift back, and then opened the magic book and read it.
Seeing that Chen Luo opened the magic book, Isabella realized that he had already written all the five questions assigned by Teacher Britney, and she herself had just finished reading the fourth question.
Although the exercises of the two people are not the same, and Blair's is simpler, Ms. Britney is based on the knowledge they should have in their current grade, which is already very difficult for the second grade students.
This made her feel a little unconvinced, but she had to admit that Blair had a strong talent for mathematics------ perhaps a little better than her.
When Britney came back, both of them had already completed the practice questions she had assigned, she picked up Chen Luo's exercises and looked at them, her eyebrows raised at first, and then she realized something, looked at Chen Luo, and said apologetically: "I'm sorry, Blair, I forgot that you haven't studied science yet, this question is beyond your knowledge, even if you do it wrong, it's nothing." ”
In addition to magic, the world also pays attention to science, which is a subject that studies the laws of the operation of everything in the world, which is obviously more difficult to understand than mathematics and history, and the students of St. Donas College do not start this course until the third year, and Chen Luo has not taken a science class yet.
And Chen Luo is not interested in this, he has already systematically understood that in this world, except for magic that he can't understand, other scientific laws are the same as the earth, nothing more than the development is extremely slow, the degree of development of science is similar to mathematics, maybe even the cognitive level of the European Middle Ages.
One of the questions Chen Luo just solved was this: Throw a stone into a deep well, and after a period of time, throw a stone into the well that weighs twice as much as the previous one, and ask when the second stone will catch up with the first one.
For people who have not yet realized the law of free fall, this is a catch-up problem, but Chen Luo has done an experiment with two stones a few days ago in order to verify the physical laws of this world, and it has been proved that although this world has magical magic, it still has to follow the law of free fall.
Therefore, the answer given by Chen Luo is that if this well is infinitely deep, the big stone will never be able to catch up with the small stone if the frictional resistance is ignored.
Obviously, Ms. Britney doesn't think so.
After putting down the two pieces of paper, Britney looked at Isabella and said, "Isabella, you should have just learned the law of falling bodies, you can tell Blair about this problem." ”
Isabella glanced at Chen Luo, and then said reluctantly: "The sages said that the speed at which objects fall is directly proportional to their mass, and the heavier the mass of the object, the faster the speed of falling......"
Chen Luo looked at her and asked, "Has Senior Sister Isabella personally verified it?"
The law of falling bodies was something they had learned in their first science class, a conclusion reached by the sages thousands of years ago, and Isabella gave him a blank look and asked, "The greater the mass, the faster the fall, this is the truth of the sages, is it common sense that everyone knows, does it need to be verified?"
Chen Luo asked rhetorically, "Is what the sages said right?"
Isabella crossed her hands on her hips and said, "Blair, you dare to question the sages?"
Chen Luo's expression was indifferent, and he said: "Science is rigorous, and the attitude towards science must also be rigorous. ”
"You mean, the sages were wrong?" Isabella asked, "Do you dare to bet?"
Chen Luo originally mentioned it casually, he hadn't figured out the magic yet, he didn't have much interest in helping them establish a new scientific system, in the face of Isabella's provocation, he waved his hand disappreciatively, and said: "Don't gamble, as a student, gambling is a very bad behavior." ”
Isabella said, "I'll bet a gold coin." ”
Chen Luo glanced at her: "Do you think I lack your gold coin?"
Isabella sneered, "Ten." ”
"A small bet is pleasant. Chen Luo looked at Britney and said with a smile, "Teacher Britney, please testify for us." ”
