Although it was the second time I came to Big Apple, the world's largest metropolis is still a strange city for Ryan. However, after staying in a small town in northern Canada for a whole month, this strange city made Ryan feel a rare warm feeling.

"Home Imperial" has ended its outdoor location in Canada and has moved to New York. Ryan doesn't have much shooting task here, and he has become more free in time. Even so, he still can't help but complain.

The reason is very simple. Just a few days before they arrived in New York, the crew of "Sleeping in the Night" filming here went to Seattle, and his plan to meet with Nicole was vain. You should know that since Nicole visited his class more than half a month ago, the two have never seen each other again.

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

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

Dear Nat, I wonder what you are doing? Have you grown taller again? Standing in front of Natalie's door, Ryan rang the doorbell, and at the same time, the appearance of a thin girl appeared in her mind, as if she would fall down when the wind blew.

"Hello, Mrs. Xie Li?" Seeing the middle-aged woman opening the door, Ryan greeted him very politely, but he had grown a lot taller. Mrs. Xie Li hesitated to see him, and after a while, she asked uncertainly, "Are you... Ryan?"

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

"Oh." Mrs. Sheley quickly let him into the house, "No wonder Nat has been muttering recently, 'Why is that guy not coming yet', it turns out that you are coming to New York!"

"Nate, come down quickly, Ryan is here." Mrs. Sheley shouted upstairs.

With the dense footsteps, Natalie with her ponytail rushed down from the upstairs. After seeing the boy, she stopped, raised her hands and raised her chin, and said, "Ryan Jenkins, you are getting more and more naive!"

"Hi Nat, is this how you welcome friends?" Ryan was also not showing any weakness.

Natalie snorted softly, walked down the stairs with her hands on her back, and circled around him, "Ryan, don't you think Kevin who plays the role of the Little Imperial is too childish?"

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

"God, is this the super genius promoted in the media? It is obvious that the kindergarten has not graduated!" Natalie's words were obviously full of thorns.

"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 to the ceiling.

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

"Is that so? Why don't I remember?" Ryan denounced it very simply, "When did the words in the New York Post be reliable?"

"But you can't deny that it's the truth."

Although she knew that her daughter would have a fierce debate every time she spoke with Ryan on the phone, Mrs. Shelley did not expect that the two had not seen each other for almost a year, and once they met, they started a habitual dispute. She had to speak, "Nate, and Ryan, can you pause for a while?"

"Sorry, Mrs. Shelley." Ryan scratched his head embarrassedly.

"Okay, mom." Natalie pulled his arm, "Let's go to my room to not disturb you."

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

Ryan once read this saying: If a girl is willing to take you to visit his bedroom, it means she has recognized you and regarded you as her good friend.

"These are all photos of you when you were a child when you were studying dance and performing?" Ryan looked at the black and white photos and color photos posted on the wall. They were all cute Natalie. If you got one, it would be put on Ebay for auction in twenty years, it would definitely trigger a large number of films.

"Yes, I started learning dance when I was four years old!" Natalie raised her chin slightly and looked a little proud.

Then, she pointed to a photo of her award when she received the prize and said proudly, "This is a photo of me winning when I participated in the Hebrew debate. Let me tell you, Ryan, in addition to English, I can also speak Hebrew and French!"

"Is that so? You're amazing, Nat." Ryan first looked surprised, and then said in a more proud voice, "In fact, I also mastered two foreign languages, French and the most difficult Chinese to learn!"

"Wine and sing, how much life is, like morning dew, the past is full of suffering. Sighing with generosity, worrying and thoughts are unforgettable, how can we relieve worries? Only Du Kang... The mountains are never tired of high, the sea is never tired of deep, Zhou Gong vomits food, and the world is returned to his heart!" Ryan just wanted to attack people, and immediately recited a poem by Cao Mengde in an aria.

"Ryan Jenkins!"

Natalie listened to this strange and graceful language, constantly grinding her white teeth, and seemed to pounce on her at any time, biting the guy who likes to hit her the most.

"Wow, look, look, what this is, "Jurassic Park", "Ryan's Story Collection", "Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone" and "Harry Potter and the Room of Secret". It seems that you have been turned over many times. Nat, it turns out that you are my book fan." Ryan looked at the books on the desk and became even more proud.

"Hmph~"

Natalie snorted heavily, as if she was about to take revenge, and said deliberately disdainfully, "Your book can only be considered a children's book, it's no big deal. It's far from a deep work like "The Sixth Sense".

"Come on, Nat." Ryan waved, "If my works were adults like "The Sixth Sense", those tabloids would not only say I was weird, but they would probably have been proclaiming that I was a freak."

Hearing the last words from his friend, Natalie seemed to be touched, restrained her pride and stubborn look, and said seriously like never before, "Sorry, Ryan, I shouldn't mention this topic. You are my best friend. When I saw the things written in the tabloids, I wanted to demolish their editorial department in person."

"It's okay, Nat." Ryan shook her hand gently, "You know, I never cared about the clamor of those paparazzi. Even if they portray me as a weird, willful, whimsical child, what can it do? Even God cannot get everyone's approval. What I care about is just the thoughts of my people, and let them go to hell."

"Well, Ryan, although we have a lot of differences, as our best friend, I will always stand behind you and support you!" Natalie said firmly.

"Wow, I'm so moved that I'm about to cry." Ryan made an exaggerated expression, which caused Natalie to roll her eyes and gritted her teeth, "Do you know, Ryan? Sometimes I really want to bite you, 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 Heshler, you dare to really bite me. My wrist is about to break, so let go. Are you a puppy?"

"Woooooooooooo~" Natalie obviously had no intention of letting go.

"If you bite me again, I will fight back!"

Ryan has never been a person who is only beaten and will not fight back. He put his heart on his face and bowed his head to Natalie's ear. Who knew that at this time, Natalie just let go of her teeth and wanted to raise her head, so the tragedy happened.

"Bang~"

Natalie's forehead hit Ryan's chin, and the feeling of the upper and lower teeth suddenly colliding together was definitely not good. Ryan couldn't help but grin, and Natalie was not much better, covering her forehead and complaining in a low voice.

"Nate!"

"Ryan!"

It was as if they were in tune with each other, and when they saw each other's eyes and eyes colliding, they burst into laughter unconsciously, and the whole world was infected by their happy laughter.

"Nate, it's really fun to be friends with you."

"So too, Ryan."

The two of them chatted for an afternoon, sometimes laughing because of the same view, and sometimes they argued because of a small difference, but it is undeniable that the two have become good friends.

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

In previous correspondence, he had discussed this issue with Natalie several times. Yes, vegetarianism is not a bad habit, but being too strict does not have much benefit. Especially for children who are growing up, plant protein cannot completely replace animal protein. Natalie was so thin and petite in her previous life, it is hard to say that it has nothing to do with her strict vegetarian habits.

"Nate, if you have time, you can visit the crew." After this unpleasant supper, Ryan and Natalie's family started chatting.

"I still have to go to school." Natalie looked at her father, and despite her eagerness to try, she still declined.

"Okay. It's getting late, I'm going back to the crew, otherwise Director Columbus will be worried." Ryan looked at the time and offered to say goodbye.

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

"I guess I won't stay for a few days," Ryan said after thinking about it, "I'm going to Pennsylvania in a few days and I'm going to see a friend with Pat, who is my agent."

Ryan is indeed going to Montgomery County, Pennsylvania to meet his investment agent, Mr. Scott, for both a trip and a discussion.

At the beginning, Ryan handed over all the royalties obtained in "Jurassic Park" to him. In addition to purchasing a few long-term stocks, the manager also invested in other aspects. In general, he had lost money and made a lot more money than he lost money.

The accountant who manages Ryan's finances will provide him and Nicole with a supervision report every month. Although he has been bad at a certain level in business, he has been a man for two lifetimes and can still understand simple financial statements. In general, Mr. Scott's ability and professional ethics are not enough to say.

But Ryan always feels that his name sounds familiar, and it seems that he has heard of such an investment expert in his previous life.
