Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Lu Zhen’s eyes lit up. There was no dissatisfaction. On the contrary, she was very surprised. The fact that Samir did not reject her directly meant that there was hope.
She tried her best to maintain her calm tone. “I understand. You’re a cautious person. Regardless of whether you chose me in the end, I’m very honored to have a chance to talk to you tonight.”
Her words were very appropriate and did not give Samir any pressure. Samir only felt that it was really comfortable to talk to this Eastern beauty.
After discussing the movie, Lu Zhen tasted the snacks placed on the table. She knew that Samir would be leaving soon, so she wanted to talk to Samir while there was still time. If she didn’t say anything after talking about the movie, it would make her seem too utilitarian.
Lu Zhen thought about the information she had investigated about Samir and said, “Mr. Samir, don’t you think time seems to be getting faster and faster? I saw a post a while ago. The person who posted it thought that time was accelerating, or rather, collapsing.”
Samir was stunned for a moment. He touched his chin and nodded. “l do feel that way. When 1 was young, I always felt that every day was very long. After I grew up, it seemed like a month and a year had passed in the blink of an eye. However, this should be a personal feeling. How can time change its speed?”
Lu Zhen smiled and said, “l think so too, but that blogger’s logic is self-consistent. He said that for ten million years, the Earth’s resonance, or pulse, has been 7.83 weeks per second. Militarily, it has always been used as a reliable reference for machines. However, later on, the resonance gradually increased. It has already exceeded 12 weeks per second, so time has accelerated by almost a third.”
Samir laughed out loud. “This person’s thoughts are really crazy. However, in my opinion, time does not accelerate because the concept of speed is built on time. If time has the attribute of speed, then the concept of speed is meaningless. ”
Lu Zhen held her chin and listened very seriously. She nodded and said, “We feel that time has become faster. Perhaps it’s because when we were young, we had just arrived in this world. A year only takes up one-seventh, one-eighth, one-ninth of our lives… After we grow up, when we’re 20 or 30 years old, a year becomes smaller in our lives. Perhaps this change will give us the illusion that time has become faster.’
Samir looked at Lu Zhen in surprise. He did not expect Lu Zhen to have such a novel idea.
Samir was originally very interested in scientific elements, humanistic thinking, fantasy prediction, and so on. Therefore, talking to Lu Zhen at this moment really inspired him a lot. He even had a prototype of a sci-fi story in his mind.
In fact, Samir had never even considered becoming a director before he turned eighteen. At the time, he felt that he would definitely become a science fiction novelist in the future.
Then, Samir and Lu Zhen went from this topic to some movies and novels about time loops and time travel. The two of them chatted deeper and deeper until Samir’s assistant came to inform him to leave. Only then did Samir realize that half an hour had passed.
Samir said humorously, “After meeting Miss Lu, I really feel that time passes too quickly. Originally, this banquet even made me feel like every second felt like a year.”
Lu Zhen slowly stood up and looked at Samir. She smiled and said, feel the same. I’m really happy to chat with you. Many of your ideas are very forward and bold, making me deeply fascinated. If there’s a chance in the future, I hope we can continue to discuss that wonderful topic.”
Samir nodded. “l look forward to meeting you again.” Then, Samir turned to his assistant and said, “Esk, send this beautiful lady away first. I’ll wait for you there.’
Samir’s assistant was stunned for a moment. He was already very surprised when he saw Samir chatting with an Oriental beauty. He did not expect Samir to ask him to send this lady away.
As far as Esk could remember, Samir wasn’t a taciturn man, but he wasn’t chatty around people he didn’t know, either. But tonight he looked as if he’d been talking to the woman for a long time, and he’d had a good time.
Could it be that this lady’s beauty had moved him?
