The preview is over, and the rest is naturally playtime, Taylor and Christine play with the other children, and Scarlett follows Ed? Carmel's assistant went to visit the studio, and only Ryan and the two sat in the dining room, looking at the imaginative set-up.

In the restaurant, you can see the characters and dolls made by Pixar animation everywhere, and even many of the seats are covered with various cartoon images, which is more like a children's playground.

"Cream ice cream, I guess I remember your taste." Ryan placed the ice cream tray in front of Natalie, "Want to taste the strawberry flavor?" ”

"No need, Xie Luxie." Natalie picked up the spoon and took a small sip, her deft tongue licking her lips from time to time.

"I don't know what it tastes like." Ryan grunted casually and took a large mouthful of ice cream drizzled with strawberry jam into his mouth.

"When are you going back to Mexico?" Natalie asked casually.

"After a while." Ryan rolled his eyes, "Nat, can you go to Mexico for a visit in some time?" ”

"I'm only fifteen years old, and I'm not accompanied by a guardian, do you think I can easily go abroad?" Natalie seemed a little impressed, but then shook her head, "Daddy won't agree." ”

Thinking of Natalie's father, Ryan can only cover his forehead, Natalie almost fell out with her father after the most disgrace in her previous life, which is actually very telling.

"That'...... You can always be the heroine of my short film, right? Ryan stared into her eyes, "Don't say no, Nat." ”

"Short film. What kind of short film? Natalie swallowed the cream in her mouth, curious.

"Rest assured, it's definitely not the ...... from the San Fernando Valley"

"Ryan!" Natalie's brown eyes stared straight into his sky-blue eyes, and her small nose wrinkled, "Ryan? Jenkins, are you eating too much strawberry jam? ”

"Oh God, what did I just say?" Ryan was aptly dazed, and Natalie then laughed, "Come on." Ryan. Seriously, what's going on? ”

"That's right." Ryan replied with a serious look, "Starting in November, the Academy's 507 course ...... Well. It's the Basic Producer Course. We will be asked to make a short film of about five minutes. Although there are teaching assistants, we need to be hands-on from the script to the actors to the filming and editing. ”

"Sounds interesting." Natalie seemed interested. "Are you going to be a director?"

"It's not." Ryan shook his head, "It's to play multiple roles as screenwriter, director, editor, etc., and this is to learn the entire production process of the movie." ”

"Yes, yes." Natalie smiled slyly, "You have to come to New York." Also, what about the salary? If I don't have a number that can impress me, I won't say yes. ”

"Ten dollars is okay, dear Nat?" Ryan deliberately pulled out his wallet.

"Okay, I reluctantly agreed." Natalie reiterated another condition, "But you have to shoot in New York!" ”

"Why is it not Los Angeles?" Ryan was puzzled and put his hands on the table.

"Dad won't allow me to take time off casually." I don't know when, Natalie put her left hand on Ryan's right hand and tapped his slender fingers gently, "Ryan, we've only met twice this year, and we've only met once last year, I'...... Don't want that. ”

"I'm sorry, Nat." Ryan shook his hand hard, "I'll be visiting you in New York more often in the future." ”

"You promise?"

"I promise!"

Listening to Ryan's words, a faint smile appeared on the corner of Natalie's mouth, she has always been a winner, hasn't she?

After lunch, when they left Pixar, the two little ones took full advantage of their age and asked for a whole set of related dolls, even the iconic small table lamp, each took two.

"Honey, if you continue like this, Pixar will go bankrupt." On the way back, Ryan admonished them.

"You're so stingy, Ryan, we should move the biggest one out of the door."

Natalie had come to Los Angeles with her assistant, and it was a rare trip to the West Coast, especially when Ryan took a break from her work and took her around to play, which made her especially happy, and although the two-day vacation was fleeting, she quickly found a reason to inform her parents that she planned to stay a few more days.

Limited to the identities of the two, there was no need to think about going to a crowded place, Ryan simply took Natalie to the USC campus.

"You can apply to this university in the future, Nat." The two walked among the earthy buildings, and after Ryan introduced the situation of the film school, he began to agitate again, "You take the SAT test as soon as possible, as long as the score is not too bad, I can find a way to get the college to pass the application, so that we can be alumni." ”

Although it is a little difficult to follow the method he said, there is still some possibility if there is a large donation.

"No, Ryan." Natalie looked at the statue of Van Punk in the distance and said firmly, "I figured it out, I'm going to an Ivy League school." ”

"Forget it, let's not talk about this, let's take me to your dormitory, I've never been to a university apartment." Natalie abruptly changed the subject.

"Alright then, go this way."

In this case, Ryan no longer insisted, and took Natalie to his temporary resting place, came to the third floor, opened the door and took a look, and saw that the roommate was neatly dressed and fiddling with small camera equipment, so he pulled Natalie in.

"Hey, Ryan, why are you here?"

"Nat, is this Darren? Bausman, my roommate. Ryan didn't answer, and made an introduction, "Darren, this is ......"

"Matilda! Oh no, Miss Natalie, it's a pleasure to meet you. ”

"It's also a pleasure to meet you." Natalie shook his hand gently, tugged at Ryan's sleeve, and whispered, "Let's go to your room." ”

"Ah...... I suddenly remembered that that guy Chen asked me to help, and I left first. "Darren? Boussman patted his head, grabbed his coat and ran out.

"What a strange man." Natalie muttered.

"He misunderstood." Ryan shook his head.

Misunderstand? Is it really a misunderstanding? Natalie isn't the little girl she was a few years ago.

Walking into the bedroom, Natalie looked around, it was very simple, there was no furniture except for the desk, single bed and wardrobe, but it was unusually tidy, which was obviously different from the residence of the legendary single man.

"I usually rest here at noon, and I rarely come here at other times." Ryan fetched the canned juice and gave it to Natalie.

"Not bad." Natalie stepped onto the balcony and playfully said, "I can experience the college in advance." ”

"Hey, beautiful young lady, can I have dinner with you?"

Suddenly, other male voices floated over from a balcony on the left, and Ryan frowned and walked over to Natalie's side, "Okay, Reese, if you're willing to charter an entire restaurant." ”

"Rui...... Ryan. The guy waved his hand apologetically, "Is this your girlfriend, God, this is big news!" I'm rich! Chen, come over here, come and see, Ryan is taking his girlfriend back to the dorm! ”

Damn it! Ryan couldn't help but cover his forehead, these big-mouthed guys!

Nat won't mind, right? He squinted at Natalie, only to see a faint smile on the corner of the girl's mouth, as if she was enjoying the show.

"Where, where, let me see! Show me! Several heads came out of the balcony on the left, and they were the classmates who got along with Ryan quite well.

"Why does she look familiar......"

"Seems to be a little shorter, a little younger, Ryan is too much."

"Come on, David, you forgot, Ryan is only sixteen."

"However, she's a little too short, and she's not that pretty, and there are several girls on the school cheerleading team who are courting Ryan, and they're much prettier than her."

"Shut up! Reese! ”

"Hey, Chen, don't hit me on the head."

Natalie's face turned dark, the smile on the corner of her mouth disappeared, her brown eyes kept flashing, and a faint cold and arrogant temperament exuded.

"Shut up, you guys! Reese, David, Darren, Chen, I remember you! ”

"It's not fair, Ryan!" In Chen Jiazheng's shouting, a group of people disappeared without a trace at a faster speed than when they came.

"These guys." Ryan muttered and shook his head.

Although the school year is not too long, he often comes to rest at noon, and he knows them well, and sometimes makes a little joke with each other.

"Don't worry, Nat, these guys are overly energetic sometimes." Ryan simply pulled Natalie back into the room.

"I didn't care." Natalie sat in a chair in front of her desk, took a pencil from her hand, and slowly turned it between her fingers, "Ryan, is there really a girl chasing you?" Is it the captain of the cheerleading squad? ”

"Someone stuffed letters and photos in my locker."

In the first week of school, he received photographs and letters that could be packed in sacks, "I never went to the places where the letters were written, as George can attest." ”

"Come on, Ryan, it's your freedom to go or not, don't tell me." Natalie got up and wanted to go outside, "I want to go back to the hotel, you can take me back." ”

Looking at the girl's back, Ryan also had a smile on the corner of his mouth.

"Nat, will you come with me to the premiere tomorrow night?" The car stopped in front of the hotel, and Ryan asked the girl next to him.

"Is it Scream 2?" Natalie lowered her eyes, as if contemplating.

"We can skip the red carpet and go straight to the theater." Ryan could roughly guess what she was thinking.

"That'...... All right. ”

When Natalie's back completely disappeared at the door of the Four Seasons Hotel, Ryan started the car, and the smile on his lips became thicker and thicker.

Nat! Ryan muttered, and the idols of the past life and the friends of the present life gradually merged together.

Natalie has finally grown up! (To be continued......)
