Although this is the second time he has come to the Big Apple, Shijie Metropolis is still a strange city for Ryan, but after spending a whole month in a small northern town in Canada, this strange city has given Ryan a rare warm feeling.

"Home Alone" has finished filming in Canada and moved to New York, where Ryan doesn't have many shooting assignments and has more freedom in time, but even so, he can't help but complain.

The reason is very simple, just a few days before they came to New York, the crew of "Sleepless in Seattle", which was still filming here, went to Seattle, which frustrated his plan to meet Nicole, you must know that since Nicole went to visit his class more than half a month ago, the two have not seen each other again.

Fortunately, there is also the only friend of his age in this city.

"To Long Island." The one who drove for Ryan was the assistant assigned to him by the crew.

Dear Nat, don't know what you're doing? Isn't it getting taller again? Standing in front of Natalie's house, Ryan rang the doorbell as he thought of a thin girl who seemed to fall down when the wind blew.

"Hello Mrs. Shelly?" Seeing the middle-aged woman who opened the door, Ryan greeted him very politely, but he had grown a lot taller, Mrs. Shelly looked at him a little hesitantly, and asked uncertainly for a while, "Are you ...... Ryan? ”

"Yes." Ryan smiled brightly, "Is Nat at home?" ”

"Yes." Mrs. Shelly hurriedly let him into the house, "No wonder Nate has been muttering lately, 'Why hasn't that guy come yet', it's you coming to New York!" ”

"Nat, hurry down, Ryan is here." Mrs. Shelly shouted upstairs.

In the dense footsteps, Natalie, who was wearing a ponytail, rushed downstairs, and when she saw the boy, she stopped, raised her hands behind her back and raised her small chin, and said, "Ryan? Jenkins, you're getting naïve! ”

"Hi Nat, is this how you welcome your friends?" Ryan was equally unrelenting.

Natalie snorted softly, walked down the stairs with her hands behind her back, and circled around him, "Ryan, don't you think Kevin who plays Home Alone is too naïve?" ”

"Is that a childlike innocence?" Ryan immediately retorted.

"Oh my God, this is the super-genius advertised in the media? Obviously I didn't graduate from kindergarten! Natalie's words were clearly tingling.

"But I got all my A's and was the best student at St. John's Elementary School." Ryan's nostrils began to rise towards the ceiling as well.

"Really? Look at what the newspaper says, never listen to lectures in class, hardly communicate with classmates, and in just one semester, Nicole was invited to school by the principal five times. Natalie counted his charges one by one.

"Really? How I don't remember. Ryan very simply denied it, "When was the New York Post's words reliable?" ”

"But you can't deny it's true."

Although she knew that her daughter would have a heated debate every time she talked to Ryan on the phone, Mrs. Shelly didn't expect that the two hadn't seen each other for almost a year, and as soon as they met, they started a habitual argument again, so she had to speak, "Nat, and Ryan, can you pause for a while?" ”

"I'm sorry, Lady Shelly." Ryan scratched his head in embarrassment.

"All right, Mom." Natalie grabbed the boy's arm, "So we don't bother you, let's go to my room." ”

"Then I'll prepare some snacks and drinks for you."

Ryan once read the saying that if a girl is willing to show you around his bedroom, it means that she has recognized you and regarded you as her best friend.

"These are all pictures of you when you were a kid studying dance and acting?" Ryan looked at the black-and-white and color photos posted on the wall, all of which were cute Natalie, and if he got one and put it up for auction on Ebay twenty years later, it would definitely blow up a blockbuster.

"yes, I started learning dance when I was four years old!" Natalie lifted her chin slightly, making a slightly proud little appearance.

Then, she pointed to a photo of her time accepting the award and said proudly, "This is the photo of my award when I participated in the Hebrew Debate Competition, and I tell you, Ryan, I can speak Hebrew and French in addition to English!" ”

"Really? You're amazing, Nat. Ryan looked surprised at first, and then said in an even more smug voice, "Actually, I also have mastered two foreign languages, French and the most difficult Chinese!" ”

"When you sing about wine, life is geometric, such as morning dew, and there are many bitter days. How to solve the worries, only Du Kang...... The mountains are not tired of being high, the sea is not tired of being deep, Zhou Gong is spitting and feeding, and the world is in the heart! Ryan was completely trying to hit people, and immediately recited a poem by Cao Zijian in the form of an aria.

"Ryan? Jenkins! ”

Natalie listened to this strange and beautiful language, and kept grinding her white teeth, as if she was going to pounce at any moment and bite the guy who liked to hit her the most.

"Wow, look, look, what is this, Jurassic Park, Ryan Stories, Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone and Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets, it seems like you've been turned over many times, Nat, so you're a fan of my books." Ryan looked at the few books on the desk, even more proud.

"Hmph~"

Natalie snorted heavily, as if to take revenge, and said deliberately disdainfully, "Your book can only be considered a children's book, it's not a big deal, it's too far from a work with depth like "The Sixth Sense". ”

"Come on, Nat." Ryan waved his hand, "If my work was all about adult content like The Sixth Sense, those tabloids wouldn't just call me weird, I'm afraid I'd already be calling me a freak." ”

Hearing her friend Zuihou's words, Natalie seemed to be touched, restrained her pride and stubbornness, and said with unprecedented seriousness, "I'm sorry, Ryan, I shouldn't have brought up this topic, you are my friend, and when I saw what was written in those tabloids, I wanted to go and dismantle their editorial office myself." ”

"It's okay, Nat." Ryan shook her hand gently, "You know, I never cared about the paparazzi's shouting, even if they portrayed me as a quirky, headstrong, ignorant and whimsical child, so what, even God can't be approved by everyone, I only care about what my people think, and to hell with everything else." ”

"Well, Ryan, even though we have quite a few differences, as the most haode friend, I will always stand behind you and support you!" Natalie said firmly.

"Wow, I'm going to cry." Ryan made an exaggerated expression, causing Natalie to roll her eyes and grit her teeth and say, "You know what, Ryan?" I really want to bite you sometimes, you really hate it. ”

"You can't say that, you can disagree with me, but you should defend my right to speak to the death...... Ah, Natalie? Heshler, you dare to really bite me, my wrist is about to break, let go, are you a puppy? ”

"Woo woo~" Natalie obviously didn't mean to let go.

"If you bite me again, I'm going to fight back!"

Ryan has never been a person who will not fight back when he is only beaten, so he turned his heart sideways, lowered his head and bit Natalie's ear, who knew that at this time, Natalie just released her teeth and wanted to raise her head, so tragedy happened.

"Bang~"

Natalie's forehead hit the boy's chin, and the taste of the upper and lower teeth slamming together was definitely unpleasant, Ryan couldn't stop grinning, and Natalie was no better, covering her forehead and whispering.

"Nat!"

"Ryan!"

As if they had a heart, the two looked at each other at the same time, and when they saw each other's eyes and gaze colliding together, they unconsciously laughed, and the whole shijie was infected by their happy laughter.

"Nat, I'm really happy to be friends with you."

"Me too, Ryan."

The two chatted for an afternoon, sometimes hahadaxiao because of the same opinion, sometimes they would argue because of small differences, but it was undeniable that the two had already become good friends.

Faced with the invitation of Natalie's family, Ryan stayed for dinner, as rumored in his previous life and as he imagined, all the meals were vegetarian, oatmeal, vegan cheese bread and vegetable salad, which made Ryan somewhat uncomfortable.

In previous correspondence, he had discussed this issue with Natalie several times, yes, a vegetarian diet is not a bad habit, but it is not much good to be too strict, especially for children who are growing up, plant protein cannot completely replace animal protein, and Natalie was so thin and petite in her previous life, it is difficult to say that it has nothing to do with her strict vegetarian habits.

"Nat, if you have time, you can visit the crew." After this unappetizing dinner, Ryan and Natalie's family made small talk.

"I still have to go to school." Natalie looked at her father, and despite the eagerness on her face, she politely declined.

"Oh well. It's not early, I'm going back to the crew, otherwise Director Columbus will be worried. Ryan looked at the time and took his leave.

"Ryan, how long have you been in New York?" Natalie asked.

"I don't think we can stay for a few days." Ryan thought about it for a moment and said, "I'm going to Pennsylvania in a few days, and I'm going to see a friend with Pat, who is my agent. ”

Ryan was indeed going to Montgomery County, Pennsylvania, to meet his investment agent, Mr. Scott, both for fun and to discuss something.

At the beginning, Ryan handed over all the royalties obtained from "Jurassic Park" to him, in addition to buying a few long-term stocks, this manager also invested in other aspects, in general, there were losses and gains, but the profits were far more than the losses.

And the accountant who takes care of Ryan's finances will give him and Nike a monitoring report every month, and although he is rotten to a certain level in business, he is also a human being in two lives, and he can still understand simple financial statements, and in general, Mr. Scott's ability and professional ethics are not to be said.

It's just that Ryan always feels that his name is a little familiar, as if he had heard of such an investment master in his previous life.
