Chapter 141: On the Road

New York in December is very different from the warm spring of Los Angeles, getting out of the black Mercedes provided by Miramax, Ryan tightened his short trench coat, and walked the red carpet at the movie premiere this season.

Fortunately, I am a man, no matter how much I can dress warmer, women will suffer.

Of course, 99 percent of women don't think walking the red carpet is a chore.

After a few steps, Ryan walked to Natalie's door, and before the door could be opened, Mrs. Shelly greeted him with a smile and let him in.

"Hello, Mr. Evner." Ryan greets Natalie's father in a proper manner.

"Long time no see, Ryan."

Compared with Mrs. Shelly, Mr. Evner's attitude is very ordinary,

Ryan knows very well that the other party has always disapproved of his daughter's development as an actor, and he not only introduced Natalie into this circle, but also wrote such a script specifically for her, and he will definitely not be treated with him.

If Mr. Avner knew that he was luring Natalie to eat some meat, would he pick up the mop and kick me out? This is Ryan's unscrupulous idea.

"Ryan, come upstairs with me, Nat should get dressed."

Mrs. Shelly saw something and simply took Ryan upstairs to find Natalie.

"Nat, have you finished changing your clothes, Ryan is here." Mrs. Shelly said as she knocked on the door.

"Here we are, Mom."

As the conversation began, the door was opened from within, revealing half of Natalie's head. Beckoned to Ryan's side, "Mom......"

"Okay. I'm going to prepare snacks for you. ”

Walking into the room, Ryan looked at the girl in front of him. Natalie has changed a little from the last time they met, she is a little taller, her bob has changed to a short to medium hair with curls, and the most obvious thing is that there are two small bags bulging on her chest, which is no longer the airport she used to be.

"Ryan, take off your coat, or you'll catch a cold when you go out."

Since the trip to Poland, Natalie has learned a little about Ryan's special physique, so she hurried to remind her.

Ryan took off his short trench coat. Hanging casually on a hanger behind the door, revealing the gown prepared for tonight's premiere.

Men are different from women, the more solemn this occasion is, the better, as always, Ryan is wearing a dark cyan tight suit, the top of the white shirt, is the same color of the bow tie as the suit, at this time he is not only taller, but also slightly stronger. It's no longer "a bamboo pole" as Natalie put it.

"Good vision." Natalie complimented.

"Of course, with my body shape, I look handsome in whatever I wear." Ryan picked his chin.

Natalie crooked her mouth and coughed lightly. Deliberately swaying back and forth in front of Ryan's eyes, he couldn't help but glare at him after seeing that he didn't react.

"Nat. Is this your dress for tonight? Who picked? Ryan could only ask.

"I chose it myself, is it pretty?" Natalie tugged at the corner of her skirt. Made a lady's gift.

"Ah...... It's beautiful. ”

This is not the time to tell the truth, Ryan panicked very dryly.

Let's be honest. Natalie's outfit is not bad, her short and medium curls are combed behind her head, tied into a beautiful knot with crystal hairpins, a strand of brown hair hangs down at the corners of her forehead, making the slightly rough facial lines attractive, her pretty face with a light foundation highlights the girl's youth and vitality, and the small moles on her cheeks make the whole person bring an indescribable little sexy.

It's just that the dark brown tight long dress destroys this different temperament, highlighting her thin body to the skinny, and the bulging bag on her chest is also particularly eye-catching, especially the silver-white sun pendant hanging from the black leather necklace she is wearing, which is extremely incongruous with the clothes.

Of course, Ryan won't say much, these words come out of his mouth, Natalie will only think that it is deliberately finding fault, the premiere will not be long before it starts, and he doesn't want to quarrel with her anymore.

"Is it really pretty?"

Natalie's eyes widened, as if sensing something.

Ryan really wanted to tell her that your aesthetic is really average, even when you grow up, but she smashed her mouth and nodded and said, "It's beautiful, Nat is starting to grow up." ”

Shrugging her shoulders, Natalie didn't bother to continue asking, sat down at the dresser, looked at herself in the mirror, and began to dress up again.

Whether a woman is big or small, old or young, the time to put on makeup and dress up can be described as long, Natalie was slightly better, and after about ten minutes, she stood up and took a small turn in front of Ryan.

"Is it okay?"

Anyway, it was the first time she attended a movie premiere, the first time she walked the red carpet, and she was inevitably a little nervous.

"Good."

Ryan nodded, looked at the time, and reminded, "It's time for us to go." ”

After saying that, he took Natalie's brown woolen coat from the hanger and draped it over the girl's body.

Ryan and Natalie walked down the stairs to the sound of gurgling footsteps, and Mrs. Shelly looked over.

"Nat, don't you really need me to accompany you?" She asked with concern.

"No, Mom." Natalie took a deep breath, "There's Ryan, and Pat, it's no big deal, you and Dad just go straight to the theater." ”

"Okay then."

Although Mr. Avner was unhappy that his daughter would be involved in the film, it was Natalie's debut film anyway, and of course he and Mrs. Shelly would go to the premiere theater to see it.

As for walking the red carpet, with Ryan here, is it still a problem.

"Ryan, I'll give you Nat." Mrs. Shelly looked over, and Ryan showed a calm smile, "Don't worry, Lady Shelly, I will definitely take care of Nat." ”

After saying that, Ryan suddenly felt that why was their question and answer so awkward?

The black Mercedes drove away from the quiet street and sped towards Manhattan, and sitting in the car, Ryan told Natalie about some do's and don'ts, the most important of which was how to deal with reporters.

In their correspondence, Ryan also chats with Natalie about this topic, and she has some experience. There is just no opportunity to practice.

"After walking the red carpet, Nat. You just have to smile and wave around, no matter what the reporter asks. Don't answer either, and if someone gets in trouble, push the question to Pat. ”

"What if Pat isn't there?"

"Then let's pretend to be dumb."

"You're dumb, Ryan!" Natalie grunted disappendrovingly.

Then, Natalie showed her weak side, after all, she was not yet twelve years old, and no matter how smart she was, she would feel nervous when she was about to face such an occasion.

"Ryan, why do I feel ...... The heartbeat is a little fast. ”

"Because you're nervous." Ryan said unceremoniously.

"Nervous? I'm not nervous. "Natalie is willing to show weakness. Deny it without even thinking about it.

"Really?" Ryan pulled Natalie's wrist and placed it in front of the girl's eyes, "This can't be a puppy's paw, right?" ”

Natalie's white little hand has been clenched into a fist, and if you look closely, you can still find that it is trembling slightly, which obviously reflects the mood of the owner.

"I'm ......," Natalie was speechless for a moment, then reflected, "You're the puppy!" ”

After saying that, he pounced viciously. opened her mouth and bit Ryan's face, but between the opening and closing of her mouth, it seemed that something had been bitten in half by her, which was a little bitter. It's a little sweet again.

"Hey, Nat, you actually stole my chocolate." Ryan held it in his hand. It's a chocolate bar that's missing a third.

"I ...... Not at all. Natalie licked the chocolate crumbs off her lips and quickly wiped out the evidence. I also slapped a small snort, "It tastes good." What brand is this? ”

Strictly speaking, chocolate is also a taboo food for vegetarians, but Natalie has long been not a strict vegetarian in private.

"Pretty good, right?" Ryan took a few more from the pocket of his trench coat and stuffed them into Natalie, "It's hard to buy outside, and this is made for me by Nicole." ”

"Nicole is so good to you." Natalie pouted and muttered, but pushed the chocolate bar back, "Forget it, I don't really like it." ”

Obviously, she was still full of interest just now, but it changed in a blink of an eye, this girl's mind is really strange. Ryan shook his head and put it away, he was only doing it to ease Natalie's nervous feelings.

The car kept moving at a steady pace, and Natalie's parents' car could be seen in the rearview mirror, and as we got closer to the theater, we could faintly hear the sound of boiling coming from ahead.

The Mercedes turned in a circle, turned onto the special aisle, and waited to drive to the end of the red carpet.

"Thank you, Ryan." Natalie suddenly said this without a clue.

"You're welcome, Nat." Ryan replied inexplicably.

The two couldn't help but turn their heads to look at each other at the same time, their sky-blue eyes and brown eyes revealing a look that they could only read each other.

After the unanimous smile, Natalie's nervousness is gone, replaced by excitement!

That's right! Ryan could feel that the girl opposite was very excited, as if something she was suppressing was about to be released at this moment, and she was about to walk towards a brilliant stage.

You will be more successful in this life than you were in the past!

The Mercedes stopped, Ryan nodded to Natalie, and when she was ready, she slowly pushed the door open, and the sound of a storm came over the room, as if it was about to completely break the young man and woman.

The sound was clearly mixed with the shutter of the camera, and the flash lights were connected to reflect the place as bright as day, Ryan first stepped out of the car, waved to the surrounding reporters and crowds, and stretched out his right hand to the car in a cheer.

Many reporters were nervously out of breath, and they knew very well, Nicole? Kidman went to Montana with the "Jurassic Park" crew, it is impossible to be here, who will be in the car with Ryan?

A white and slender arm was on Ryan's hand, it was supposed to be a girl's arm, who was she?

Familiar reporters exchanged opinions with their eyes, and all they saw was a daze, and suddenly someone came to their senses.

"Matilda! That must be Matilda from the movie! (To be continued......)
