Although this is the second time I have come to the Big Apple, the world’s largest metropolis is still a strange city to Ryan, but after spending a whole month in the small northern city of Canada, this strange city makes Ryan It's rare to have a warm feeling.
"Home Alone" has ended its location in Canada and moved to New York, where Ryan didn't have many filming tasks and time was more free. Even so, he still couldn't help but complain.
The reason is very simple. Just a few days before they came to New York, the crew of "Seattle Sleepless", who was still filming here, went to Seattle. His plan to rendezvous with Nicole fell through. You must know that it has been more than half a year. After Nicole visited his class a month ago, the two had never seen him again.
Fortunately, in this city, there is his only friend of the same age.
"Go to Long Island." The man who drove the boy was an assistant specially assigned to him by the crew.
Dear Nat, I don’t know what you are doing? Is it taller again? Standing in front of Natalie's house, Ryan rang the doorbell, and at the same time the appearance of a thin girl appeared in her mind, as if she would fall when the wind blows.
"How are you Mrs. Shelly?" When the middle-aged woman opened the door, the boy greeted him very politely, but he grew a lot taller. Mrs. Shelly hesitated looking at him for a while, and then asked uncertainly. Said, "Are you... Ryan?"
"Yes." Ryan smiled brightly, "Is Nat at home?"
"Yes." Mrs. Shelly hurriedly let him into the house, "No wonder Nat has been muttering "Why isn't that guy coming yet?" It turns out that you are coming to New York!"
"Nate, come down quickly, Ryan is here." Mrs. Shelly shouted upstairs.
Amidst the intensive footsteps, Natalie with her ponytail rushed downstairs. When she saw the boy, she stopped her footsteps, raised her hand with her small chin on her back, and said, "Ryan Jenkins, you more It's getting naive!"
"Hi, Nat, is this how you welcome friends?" Ryan also showed no signs of weakness.
Natalie snorted softly, and she walked down the stairs with her hands on her back, and then circled him, "Ryan, don't you think that Kevin, who plays in The Home Alone, is too naive?"
"That's Tongzhen, OK?" The boy retorted immediately.
"God, this is the super genius promoted in the media? Obviously none of the kindergarten graduates!" Natalie's words were obviously stinged.
"But all my grades are A, and I am the best student in St. John's Elementary School." Ryan's nostrils also began to rise towards the ceiling.
"Really? Look at what the newspaper says. I never listened to lectures in class and hardly communicated with classmates. In just one semester, Nicole was invited to school by the principal five times." Natalie counted his crimes.
"Really? Why don't I remember." Ryan denied it bluntly, "When did the New York Post's words be reliable?"
"But you can't deny that this is the truth."
Although she knew that her daughter would have a heated debate every time she talked with Ryan on the phone, Mrs. Shelly did not expect that the two had not seen each other for almost a year, and the habitual dispute began as soon as they met. She had to speak, "Nat , And Ryan, can you pause for a while?"
"Sorry, Mrs. Shelly." The boy scratched his head embarrassedly.
"Okay, Mom." Natalie took the boy by the arm, "In order not to disturb you, let's go to my room."
"Then I will prepare some snacks and drinks for you."
Ryan once read this sentence, if a girl is willing to take you to visit his bedroom, it means that she has recognized you and regards you as her good friend.
"These are all photos from when you were learning dancing and acting when you were a kid?" Ryan looked at the black and white photos and color photos posted on the wall. They were all lovely Natalie. If you get one, in twenty years After putting it on Ebay for auction, it will definitely detonate a big piece.
"Yeah, I started to learn dance when I was four!" Natalie raised her chin slightly and put on a little proud look.
Then, she pointed to a photo when she received the award, and said proudly, "This is the photo I took when I participated in the Hebrew debate. Tell you, Ryan, in addition to English, I also speak Hebrew. And French!"
"Really? You are amazing, Nat." Ryan showed a look of surprise, and then said in a more proud voice, "In fact, I also master two foreign languages, French and the hardest to learn. Chinese!"
"Singing to wine, life geometry, such as the morning dew, there are many hardships in the days. To be generous, unforgettable worry, how to alleviate worries, only Dukang... the mountains are not tired of high, the sea is not tired of deep, Zhou Gong spit and feed, the world is home!" Boy It was entirely to shock people, and immediately chanted a poem by Cao Zijian in an aria.
"Ryan Jenkins!"
Natalie listened to this strange and beautiful language, constantly grinding her white teeth, as if she would rush at any time and bite this guy who likes to beat herself the most.
"Wow, look, see, what is this, "Jurassic Park", "Ryan Tales", "Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone" and "Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets", it seems I've read it many times, Nat, so you are my book fan." Ryan looked at the books on the desk, even more proud.
"Huh~"
Natalie snorted heavily, as if she was about to retaliate, and deliberately said with disdain, "Your book can only be regarded as a children's book, it's not a big deal, it's far from a deep work like "Sixth Sense". ."
"Come on, Nat." Ryan waved his hand. "If my work is adult content like "Sixth Sense", the tabloids will not only call me weird, I am afraid that I am a It's a freak."
When she heard the boy’s last words, Natalie seemed to be touched. She condensed her pride and stubbornness, and said seriously, "I’m sorry, Ryan, I shouldn’t bring up this topic. You are my best friend, I When I saw what was written in those tabloids, I wish I could tear down their editorial office myself."
"It's okay, Nat." The boy shook her hand lightly. "You know, I always don't care about the clamor of the paparazzi, even if they portray me as a weird, wayward, unconscious and whimsical child, then What can I do? Even God can't get everyone's approval. All I care about is the thoughts of my people. Let them go to **** with all the others."
"Well, Ryan, although we have a lot of differences, as a best friend, I will always stand behind you and support you!" Natalie said firmly.
"Wow, I'm about to cry when I'm moved." The boy made an exaggerated expression, causing Natalie to roll her eyes and gritted her teeth and said, "You know, Ryan? I really want to bite you sometimes. One bite, you really hate it."
"You can't say that, you can disagree with my point of view, but you should defend my right to speak to the death... Oh, Natalie Hirschle, you dare to bite me, my wrist is about to break, let go , Are you a puppy?"
"Woo woo woo~" Natalie obviously didn't let go.
"You bite and I will fight back!"
Ryan is not just someone who can't fight back when he is beaten. He bent his heart, lowered his head and bit towards Natalie's ear. Who knows at this moment, Natalie just loosened her teeth and wanted to raise her head, so The tragedy happened.
"Boom~"
Natalie's forehead hit the boy's chin, and the feeling of the upper and lower teeth slamming together was absolutely uncomfortable. Ryan couldn't stop grinning, but Natalie was also not much better, clutching her forehead and complaining in a low voice. .
"Nate!"
"Ryan!"
It was as if there was a clear heart. The two looked at each other at the same time. When they saw each other's eyes and gazes collided, they laughed unconsciously. The whole world was infected by their happy laughter.
"Nate, I am really happy to be friends with you."
"Me too, Ryan."
The two of them chatted with each other for an afternoon. Sometimes they laughed because of the same opinions, and sometimes they quarreled because of small differences, but it is undeniable that the two have already become good friend.
Facing the invitation of Natalie’s family, Ryan stayed for dinner. Just as rumors in the past life and his imagination, all meals are vegetarian, oatmeal, vegan cheese bread and vegetable salad, so much for the boy. Some are not used to it.
In previous correspondence, he has discussed this issue with Natalie several times. Yes, a vegetarian diet is not a bad habit, but being too strict does not bring much benefit, especially for children who are growing up. Egg white can't completely replace animal protein, and Natalie's skinny and petiteness in her previous life is hard to say has nothing to do with her strict vegetarian habit.
"Nate, UU reading , if you have time, you can go to the crew to visit the crew." After eating this unappetizing dinner, the boy chatted with Natalie's family.
"I still have to go to school." Natalie looked at her father. Although she was eager to try, she declined.
"Okay. It's getting late, I'm going back to the crew, or Director Columbus will worry about it." Ryan looked at the time and said goodbye.
"Ryan, how long are you in New York?" Natalie asked.
"I won't be able to stay for a few days." The boy thought about it and said, "I'm going to Pennsylvania in a few days, and I'm going to see a friend with Pat. Pat is my agent."
Ryan is indeed going to Montgomery County, Pennsylvania, to meet his investment agent, Mr. Scott, both for fun and to discuss some things.
At the beginning, the boy gave him all the royalties obtained by "Jurassic Park". In addition to buying a few long-term stocks, the manager also invested in other aspects. In general There are losses and gains, but the gains are far more than the losses.
The accountant who manages the finances of the boy will provide him and Nicole with a monitoring report every month. Although he is bad in business, he is also a man for two generations, and simple financial statements can still be understood. Yes, in general, Mr. Scott's ability and professional ethics have nothing to say.
It’s just that the boy always thinks his name is a bit familiar. It seems that he has heard of such an investment expert in his previous life.
