Chapter 1334: Chapter 23 The Cosmological Constant_3

If the universe constant really is a specific number…

Then what is that number.

Exactly?

Soon!

He will calculate it very soon!

…

At the same time.

Mi Country, New York, Manhattan, Empire State Building Suite.

Clang.

The silver fork slipped from CC’s hand and hit the “New York Daily News” on the coffee table, bounced twice crisply, and rolled onto the carpet.

CC breathed rapidly, her face pale.

She stared at the TV screen, the intense [explosion], the dazzling [white light], the [burning] fireball, the towering [mushroom cloud]…

Pupils trembling.

Her whole body was trembling.

“CC!”

Lin Xian noticed something was wrong with CC, quickly ran over, and supported her:

“CC? What’s wrong CC?”

CC took a deep breath.

Lowered her head, and softly said:

“Lin… Lin Xian, let’s go back to Brooklyn… I don’t want to stay in Manhattan anymore.”

“Ah?”

Lin Xian was caught off guard and asked puzzled:

“Why? Haven’t we been having a good time these past few days?”

CC looked at the TV screen filled with flickering snowflakes and squinted.

That was the scene after the hydrogen bomb explosion.

The entire little island was blown away.

The massive evaporated hole in the middle, with surrounding seawater continuously flooding in.

Everything destroyed,

Everything returned to nothingness,

Everything ceased to exist.

Just like the things she’s been anxiously worried about these past few days…

[Could this be just a dream? Once the dream ends, these things that don’t truly belong to her will vanish in an instant, just like being hit by a hydrogen bomb, leaving no trace.]

She shook her head.

She’s not afraid of having nothing.

But she’s absolutely afraid… of losing the one and only, precious thing she has.

“CC?”

Lin Xian saw CC not speaking and pursued:

“Wasn’t your dream to come to Manhattan? Your life in Manhattan has just begun, and you… don’t want to stay here anymore?”

“We still have plenty of money, we can’t even spend it all, you can do anything you want here, like opening a coffee shop, or a flower shop… don’t girls all like this kind of life?”

CC turned around:

“You’re right, Lin Xian. These past few days in Manhattan have brought me immense joy, truly the happiest and most fortunate days of my life.”

“But… just now, I suddenly understood, these things never really belonged to me, and I’m afraid that after having them, I might lose something more precious…”

She bit her lip, shook her head:

“Lin Xian… What truly brings me joy and happiness isn’t Manhattan, but having you with me, having you by my side.”

Lin Xian didn’t speak.

He understood.

Indeed, CC still worried again, just like that day in the cinema.

The intense explosion of the hydrogen bomb awakened this world, and seemingly awakened CC, who was originally just a poor girl from Brooklyn…

“I won’t leave.”

Lin Xian said softly:

“I know what you’re worried about, you’re still worried this might be just a dream, and upon waking, you might find me gone. But… it’s not CC, this is not a dream, this is reality.”

However.

CC did not speak, nor did she react.

She suddenly seemed really afraid of Manhattan, afraid of this bustling center of the world, would engulf her small world.

“Lin Xian… let’s go back…”

CC said, almost in a pleading tone:

“I want to go back with you, back to our Brooklyn… even though it’s poorer and more backward compared to Manhattan, even though there aren’t tasty things or pretty clothes, even though Brooklyn has nothing, but…”

She grasped Lin Xian’s sleeve, clinging to it like holding onto a straw.

Raised her head, looked into Lin Xian’s eyes:

“Brooklyn… is enough with you.”
