Chapter 16： Meet

"The Statue of Liberty was a gift from France to the United States to commemorate the alliance between the United States and France during the American War of Independence. It was designed and completed by the famous French sculptor Bartodi over a period of ten years. It is a symbol of free will..."

Standing at the top of the inside of the Statue of Liberty, Nicole talked freely, like a beautiful female tour guide.

It's been two days since I came to the Big Apple. Ryan and Nicole have visited many famous attractions, watched colorful neon advertisements in Times Square, scanned goods at boutiques on Fifth Avenue, watched dramas on Broadway, and experienced Central Park. The forest in the city.

After passing the Hudson River Estuary, the two returned to Manhattan all the way. Anyway, they came out to enjoy themselves. They didn't have a clear plan or goal. They basically didn't care about where they went and where they went.

"Ryan, why did you stop?" Nicole felt her hands sink, only to realize that the boy holding her hand suddenly stood in place. "The Petronas Twin Towers are one of the tallest buildings in the world, on the top floor. You can have a panoramic view of less than half of New York in the sightseeing room, don’t you want to go?"

"Nicole, let's stop going. I don't like the twin towers."

Although it is only 1990, the shadow of previous life is lingering. He will not enter the World Trade Building even if Ryan is killed. "Let's go to the Empire State Building."

"okay then."

The Empire State Building is located on Fifth Avenue in Manhattan. It was built in 1930. It is also known as the symbol of the Big Apple along with the Statue of Liberty at the Hudson River Estuary, especially the top light, which is world-famous.

After arriving at the viewing platform on the 86th floor, Ryan looked into the distance, which was the direction of Long Island.

"What are you thinking about?" Nicole asked, seeing him in a daze.

"Nothing?" Ryan came back to his senses, thinking of the Empire State Building-related script he hadn't finished yet, "Nicole, I heard Pat said that a producer has invited you?"

"Yes." Nicole nodded.

Different from the previous life, "Various Horizons" landed in the United States earlier. What's more interesting is that it was Miramax who introduced the film to North America. As the film entered the theaters, Nicole gradually became more popular in Hollywood. After gaining some fame, some producers began to send out invitations.

"Unfortunately, they are all vase characters." With the experience of "Sixth Sense", Nicole's vision is also picky.

"I have prepared the next script for you." With the feelings between the two, there is naturally nothing to say.

"Really? Why don't I know?" Nicole raised her eyebrows, "What's the content?"

"It's related to the Empire State Building, it's too early to complete." The boy thought for a while, and then said, "I'll give you a suggestion. It's better not to make an appointment before the release of "Sixth Sense"."

"Why?"

"Because of the "Sixth Sense", your worth will definitely rise."

"You kid, you have so much confidence?" Nicole didn't comment, and stroked his hair tossed by the wind. "The script, please let me see it. If it doesn't suit my mind, I won't take it. ."

"At home in Los Angeles, you will find it by yourself when you go back." The boy smiled. Nicole won't read the manuscript he wrote unless he invites it. This is also considered a respect for his privacy.

Not far from Manhattan, it is also a famous holiday destination. Long Island has attracted many people to settle here. Especially after World War II, a large number of middle-class and wealthy Jews also moved here, many of whom are from Jerusalem.

After making a round in Winnett Park, Ryan simply took Nicole into the dessert shop at the entrance of the park. It was probably a weekend. There were many people in the shop, most of them were children accompanied by their parents. There was a table in the lower corner. After ordering two Black Forest cakes and two glasses of orange juice, Ryan and the others sat at that table.

"The taste is okay, but it's too sweet." These desserts are often natural enemies of beauty. Nicole just tasted a few bites before putting down the fork.

"No! No! No! I want to be vegan!" A crisp girl voice came from the direction of the counter, "Thank you, give me another cup of hot orange juice!"

The girl was holding a small tray, turned her head and looked around in the shop, and finally walked towards Ryan's table.

"May I sit here?" The girl asked very politely, showing excellent education.

Ryan had been talking in a low voice with Nicole, until then did he notice the girl's arrival. He turned his head, and the moment he saw the girl, his eyes were condensed, but he quickly lowered his eyes and concealed his heart. Fluctuating mood.

"Of course!" Ryan replied politely. No one can see the change in his emotions. I have to say that the role playing in the past ten years has made the boy's face unconscious. A veil has been put on.

"Thank you!" The girl sat beside him.

Ryan glanced at her calmly with the corner of her eye, dark brown hair with slightly curly mid-length, goose-egg-shaped face with angular faces is not so cute, and she also wears a bit of baby fat. The brown eyes gleamed with wisdom, and the small moles on her cheeks not only did not harm her appearance, but also added her temperament.

Although she looks a lot younger than the impression she looks like, she is after all his favorite female celebrity. It was just an instant that he was sure that she should be her.

"Hello, this is Ryan Jenkins!" The boy introduced himself very calmly.

"Hello!" The girl nodded and said faintly, "Natalie Hurschle."

The boy didn’t say anything, and didn’t do anything. He could see that the girl was slightly wary. If the information he had read was not too outrageous, the girl’s precocity and wisdom would far exceed her age. And appearance.

After eating the cake calmly, Ryan said lightly to the girl next to him before leaving, "Miss Natalie, it's nice to meet you, so...bye!"

"Strange boy!" Looking at the boys and girls walking out of the shop, Natalie shook her head and continued to taste her food.

About half an hour later, Natalie walked out of the dessert shop and rode her small bicycle towards her home. Not long after her family moved to Long Island, as a Jewish girl born in Jerusalem, her father, a conservative doctor, asked her Develop a strict vegetarian habit. This habit is neither good nor bad. Since it is a requirement of the family, she can only follow it as usual.

Winnett Park is not far from her home, but when she turned to the street in front of her house, an accident happened.

Maybe only God knows what's going on. When turning a corner, a child she knew called her from behind. Natalie turned her head in a ghostly manner. Then, the bicycle ran into a boy on the side of the road. That was unlucky. 'S boy was knocked directly to the ground by her.

"Damn it!" Ryan cursed in a low voice. This is really a disaster. He just stood here with his head down and waited for Nicole who went to the convenience store. A daredevil hit him by riding a bicycle. You know, four cars on this road There is no problem with parallelism.

"Sorry, you are not injured, are you?"

It seemed that she was still a girl when she heard the voice, Ryan said in an angry voice, "I'm not dead yet, it's just a broken leg."

"Ah~"

咦~ Why does the voice sound familiar? The boy raised his head, his eyes widened in surprise.

"It's you?"

As if their hearts were singular, the two spoke in unison.

"Your leg is broken?" Natalie asked timidly.

Ryan sighed, this collision seemed to be for nothing, and rolled his eyes, "just kidding."

Natalie curled her lips without a trace, but she did something wrong after all, so she had to apologize again, "You are Ryan Jenkins, right? I'm very sorry, I was so careless."

"Ryan, what's the matter?" When I got out of the convenience store, Ni could see the boy sitting on the ground with a sloping bicycle next to him, and hurried over.

"Nate, what happened?"

A Ford also stopped on the side of the road at this time, and a middle-aged couple got out of the car and walked over.

The thing was ridiculous as if it were shooting a movie, and the support team of both sides were all there in an instant, and Natalie did not shy away, and quickly explained what happened.

The boy was not injured. With his body that he fumbled in the orphanage, there was no such tenderness, but Natalie’s parents still invited him and Nicole to the house not far away to check it carefully. , Because Natalie’s father is a doctor.

"Mr. Avner, UU reading is just a little bruise." Sitting on the sofa in the living room, Ryan glanced at his somewhat red and swollen knees and didn't care.

"I'm sorry, Ryan, I was so reckless." Natalie had to apologize again under her father's stern eyes.

"It's okay. Nat, can I call you that? Thank you." The boy was completely hitting a snake with a stick, and said with a smile, "Mr. Avner, don't blame Nat, I am also responsible for this matter."

Nicole sat next to the boy and gently rubbed his knees for him. Seeing that there was no problem, she helped him put down the rolled trouser legs. After all, this was just an accident. Ryan was not injured, and the perpetrator was still an accident. For younger girls, she can't say anything.

"Jerusalem, so you were born in Israel?"

Just when Nicole had a few conversations with the Herschels, Ryan was about to get out of Natalie's old bottom. Yes, she was indeed smart and precocious, but she was still too tender for boys.

"Yes, it's not long before we moved to New York." Natalie looked at the boy's appearance carefully while she was talking, "Ryan, are you also Jewish? I think you have some Jewish characteristics in your appearance. ."

really is a careful and smart girl! Ryan sighed in his heart.

To be honest, he doesn't know what blood it is, but according to Dean Katie's speculation from his appearance, there should be a part of Nordic blood, and the appearance between the eyebrows and the eyes has a little Jewish characteristic.

Anyway, at the end, the boy made a summary by himself, that is, a little ghost who can't be mixed.
