Chapter 1313: Chapter 15 Movies

“Have you met him?”

Lin Xian really found it a bit unbelievable.

That was Albert Einstein, the most famous and highest-status physicist in the world…

He and CC, an orphan from a welfare institution, were completely people from two different worlds.

Not only in terms of spirit and values, but even on a physical level, the two had no possibility of contact.

After all, CC had always lived in the slums of Brooklyn.

Lin Xian had experienced how dirty and chaotic it was there.

He believed that under normal circumstances, Einstein wouldn’t go to such a place, as it didn’t quite match his status and logic.

“You’ve met Einstein?” Lin Xian asked again.

“Yeah.”

CC put the newspaper on the dining table for Lin Xian to see.

Lin Xian looked at the newspaper’s front page.

It was an interview with Einstein, discussing nothing more than the Cold War, nuclear crisis, international situation, those things… In this age of panic, it seemed like everything was inseparable from the “Cold War shadow”.

“You just have to believe me, I really have met him.”

CC sat down across from the dining table, resting her cheeks in her hands:

“Not only have I seen him, many of us kids have seen him. The grandma from the welfare institution even chatted with Einstein and later told us about his past, saying he was a great scientist… So there’s no doubt about it, that’s Albert Einstein.”

“Alright.”

Lin Xian put down the newspaper in his hand, accepting this fact.

Since the grandma from the welfare institution said it was Einstein, it couldn’t be fake:

“Uh… Logically, a place like Brooklyn’s slum indeed doesn’t match Einstein’s style very well.”

“But this matter is really hard to say. If Einstein had friends there, or just happened to have something to do there once, it wouldn’t be strange, and you just happened to meet him then.”

“No.”

CC shook her head, looking somewhat puzzled.

She couldn’t understand.

Why was Lin Xian so entangled in the fact that she had met Einstein… It didn’t seem like something worth mentioning:

“It’s not just once; we often see him.”

?

Lin Xian squinted his eyes.

Often?

A welfare institution girl in a slum had the chance to often see the famous Einstein?

This was practically a fantasy.

In this era, Einstein’s status could only be described as transcendent.

If Lin Xian’s historical knowledge was correct… It was around this year that Israel sincerely invited Einstein to be their president, but Einstein refused.

Could such a great scientist, who would even refuse to be a president, be someone CC’s status could frequently encounter?

Lin Xian furrowed his brows.

“There must be something wrong!”

“Specifically, how did you see Einstein?”

Lin Xian stood up from his chair and asked seriously:

“Would he come to the welfare institution specifically to see you?”

“How is that possible…”

CC chuckled and explained:

“Grandma’s welfare institution is located in the Brooklyn suburbs, which is quite remote, and usually, few people come and go. We kids had nothing to do every day, so we often played by the roadside outside.”

“So, whenever someone or a car passes by, we can see it; Every few months, Einstein would pass by the welfare institution’s gate in a black car.”

“Generally, he wouldn’t stop or get out of the car. Only once, a little boy from the welfare institution ran onto the road playfully and almost got hit by Einstein’s car; then Einstein got out to help the boy up, and after confirming he was uninjured, he was relieved; then he took us inside and chatted with the grandma.”

“I felt that he was really nice, very kind, and gentle. After that, every time he passed by the welfare institution if he saw us playing outside, he would stop, roll down the window, and wave to greet us.”

“Actually, saying we often saw him… When you add it up, it wasn’t that often, probably seven or eight times in total.”

…

Lin Xian listened silently.

He roughly understood.

Einstein and the welfare institution, the grandma, and the group of kids with CC were actually not familiar or acquainted at all.

The intersection was purely because of a small incident.

And the subsequent so-called meetings were merely rolling down the car window to wave at the kids, hardly counting as real meetings.

“Can you tell me roughly what time it was?”

He continued to ask:

“Around when did Einstein visit the Brooklyn suburb? It doesn’t matter if you can’t recall the exact time, just give me a rough idea.”

CC blinked.

She began to recall:

“The welfare institution grandma passed away when I was sixteen, and the welfare institution was closed then, and after that, I started roaming the streets. I remember we still saw Einstein driving by before grandma passed away.”

“The first time we saw Einstein… I really can’t remember too clearly, it was when I was about twelve or thirteen. Anyway, ever since then, we would see him passing by two or three times a year, not knowing where he was heading.”

Lin Xian picked up a pencil and sticky note from the coffee table and began to take notes.

When CC was twelve or thirteen, it was around 1945; when she was sixteen, it was around 1948.

That is to say.

“Between 1945 and 1948, Einstein appeared seven or eight times in the Brooklyn suburb, passing by the welfare institution where CC was and driving to a certain place.”

The world knew.

Einstein’s main area of activity was Princeton.

He worked at Princeton University, lived there, and spent his entire later life there; even died there, and then his brain was stolen by a prosector at Princeton Hospital.
