Chapter 122 Back to Back
A crisp ringtone rang, and in the cool sea breeze, two bicycles drove past the quiet path and galloped towards the lighthouse at the end of the road. A young man and a girl showed a bright smile, shouting and whispering sometimes, as if the world became so wonderful because of them.
There are very few pedestrians here. In recent days, as long as the shooting is over, Ryan and Natalie will ride bicycles to the beach here for fun.
"Ryan, don't ride so fast, wait for me for a while! Don't you know that ladies are preferred?" Natalie, who was behind, was shouting. She would show her naughty side only when they were alone.
"Hey, Nat, you said you wanted to compete with me. Those who lost will learn to bark! I will definitely win today!" Ryan was not fooled.
"Ryan Jenkins, you are a narrow-minded guy with no gentlemanly demeanor. Wait and see me catch up with you!" Natalie was very dissatisfied. She didn't want to learn to bark in front of this guy. She pedaled a few times and gradually narrowed the distance.
"Nate, stop struggling, give up! There are still up to 200 meters, I will definitely win!"
Despite the shaking bicycle ride, Ryan is not only a boy, but also one year older, easily widening the distance between the two.
"Ahhhhh~Ryan, wait, I will beat you sooner or later, in all aspects!" Natalie shouted gritting her teeth.
Ryan didn't care about the indignation coming from behind. He was still waiting for Natalie to learn to bark with her puppy, and stepped hard, and arrived at the bottom of the lighthouse in a short while.
"Wow, I won! I won!"
After setting up a bicycle, Ryan jumped up happily, looking very smug.
"If you win, you win, do you need to scream?"
Natalie finally rushed over, put the car down, and pointed her nostrils at Ryan, obviously wanting to pay back the debt.
"Don't forget, Nat, the loser must learn to bark by the puppy." Ryan stretched out three fingers and swayed in front of Natalie, "It's three, three puppy bark!"
"I...well, I'm very tired and need a rest." Natalie's eyes turned and walked towards the beach under the lighthouse.
"Wait... wait." Ryan chased after him, "Dear Nat, you want to go back on your word, right?"
"Repentance is a woman's privilege!"
"You are just a girl, not a woman!" Ryan would not let her go easily, "No faith..."
"Okay, Ryan. I will remember today!" Natalie glared.
Ryan shrugged indifferently and made a graceful gesture of invitation, but his three fingers were always standing in front of Natalie.
"Wang~" Natalie's voice was nowhere much bigger than a mosquito hum.
"Stop! Nat, that doesn't count, I didn't hear it."
"Wang~Wang~Wang~Wang~"
Natalie gritted her teeth, shouted three times, and then turned around and left.
“Wow…”
Ryan smiled excitedly, Natalie frowned. That guy was so annoying. She was so confused. Why did she propose such a competition?
That guy was obviously crooked when riding a bicycle and would fall down at any time. Why did he win?
Wait, Ryan Jenkins, I will get back together with the principal and interest sooner or later! Natalie clenched her fists and sat on the beach.
"Hey, Nat..."
"Ryan Jenkins!" Obviously, Natalie's angry bar was already full, and it seemed that she would launch a fatal blow in the next moment.
"Okay, Nat, it's just a joke." Ryan sat beside her, "Let's sit here for a while, enjoy the sea view, cultivate sentiment..."
"Ryan!"
"All right……"
The two of them sat on the beach with their backs on their backs, chatting from time to time, sometimes keeping silent in a tacit way, and then turning their heads at the same time. When their eyes bumped together, they would smile knowingly, staring at each other foolishly for a while before turning their heads again.
"Ryan, why do I always feel that I have known you for more than two years?" Natalie finally asked the question that she had been holding back for a long time.
"I feel this way, too!" Ryan turned around and sat side by side with Natalie. "I always feel like we are old friends who have known each other for decades."
"Yes!" Natalie nodded, "You know what I like and don't like. Whenever I'm hungry, the food you deliver to me is always my favorite. Whenever I'm thirsty, the drink I handed over is also my favorite!"
"I want to know the reason, Nat!"
"certainly!"
"It's very simple, because you were my favorite big star in your previous life. I have collected all your information and know your personality, your hobbies, and your family." Ryan's face clearly stated that I was making up stories.
"Ryan, I'm not Paris who I met a few days ago, nor is it naive Scarlett. Don't use such words to make excuse me!" Natalie wrinkled her nose, obviously a little dissatisfied.
"Then let me think about it carefully, how should this story be continued..."
"Okay, Ryan, I admit that you are a top-notch master in making stories, so just tell me, who was I in my previous life?" Natalie simply listened to it as a story.
"Superstar, top student, one of the representative figures of Hollywood's post-80s female stars, Oscar winner." Ryan thought for a while before giving this answer.
Natalie simply turned her head and kept looking at the boy up and down, as if she wanted to find out which nerve he had touched the wrong one.
"The more you make it up, the more outrageous it becomes!" This is the final evaluation given by Natalie.
The sun slowly sank into the horizon, and the two of them sat quietly, watching the vast sea surface silently. The refreshing sea breeze blew, and the light brown hair and dark brown hair were intertwined and wrapped around one place, and they could no longer tell each other.
The sky was getting darker and stars hung in the sky. Ryan and Natalie had no intention of leaving. The security on Long Island was pretty good, and George was staying not far away, so there was no need to worry about anything.
"Ryan, what city do you like the most in the United States? Where do you want to settle when you grow up in the future?" Natalie raised her arm and slowly straightened her hair.
"Los Angeles." It's hard to say whether you like it or not. After living there for so many years, Ryan has become accustomed to it. "Beverly Hills or Malibu are good, what about you, Nat?"
"I don't know, maybe in New York, maybe I'll go to Jerusalem..."
"Why not come to Los Angeles?" Ryan interrupted her, "The West Coast is actually very good."
"Then why go to Los Angeles?" Natalie turned her head and looked over. "Dad always wanted to go back to Jerusalem."
"Because Hollywood is in Los Angeles." Ryan said naturally in terms of regionality.
"Then let's talk about it when you grow up."
Natalie's eyes turned and asked again, "Ryan, maybe in the future you can apply to the East Coast university, and we can be alumni."
"Why didn't you apply to the University on the West Coast?" Ryan asked back. "Stanford University is equally excellent as the University of California. Haven't you been reading director books recently? Why don't you apply to the University of Southern California Film School?"
"I'll think about it, but this is just the last choice." Natalie rolled her eyes, obviously not taking Ryan's words to heart, "You haven't answered my question yet."
"Who knows, maybe I won't apply to college." Ryan shrugged indifferently.
"Why?" Natalie was obviously puzzled, and Ryan made a gesture you understand, "I'm very nervous about time."
"Will Nicole agree?"
"It should be, after all, she also dropped out of high school and entered a performance school."
After Ryan said that, Natalie didn't say anything more. She had her own goals but could not force her friends. Ryan laughed, "When I was sixteen, I would try to apply to the California Institute of Art or the University of Southern California Film School. If they could make an exception to admit me, I wouldn't mind..."
"They will definitely not make an exception, because American universities will not admit a fool." Natalie smiled brightly.
"Is that so? You won't admit a stupid guy named Natalie, right?" Ryan retorted, and finally changed his eyes back to a pair of big white eyes.
"I'm tired, let me lean on it for a while."
Natalie changed her position and turned back to back with Ryan. She moved her body and found the most comfortable position. She laid the back of her head on Ryan's broad back, and looked up at the brighter and brighter stars.
"What are you looking at, Nat? Are you looking for the zenith star?" Ryan teased.
"Come on, Ryan, I'm not as bored as you."
Others don’t know, so Natalie naturally knows how weird and uninformed the article that was praised by book reviewers.
Holding her knees with her hands, Natalie turned her head and slanted her eyes. She happened to see Ryan's smiling blue eyes. She couldn't help but raise her eyebrows. Even if she didn't say anything, she could still look aggressive with her expression.
Ryan also hugged his knees into his hands, and squeezed his eyes at the girl who had entered the rebellious period, showing a refreshing smile.
Natalie's cockfighting appearance instantly dissipated and she laughed. The two of them looked like fools, looking at each other, smiling, but not saying a word.
It was not until a long time later that the awkward posture made the two of them feel tired that they turned back.
"Ryan, will we still be as good as we are now when we grow up?" Natalie asked suddenly.
"Of course, Nat." Ryan answered firmly.
"If..." Natalie's eyes were turning, not knowing what idea was going on, "What if you have a girlfriend in the future and she won't let you continue dating me?"
"I'll kick her." Ryan just thought it was a joke.
"Really?" Natalie looked back and Ryan pretended to be confident, "I promise!"
"Okay, I'll remember your words."
