Chapter 197： 16 years old

The bright sun is hidden among the tall buildings, the straight roads are dappled with light and dark, and the vehicles passing by are like the rush of life in New York. In the early spring of Long Island, the temperature rises rapidly. The plants on the edge regained their vitality.

The Land Rover cross-country vehicle crushed the light spots on the road and turned to the door of Long Island Middle School. Accompanied by the creak of the brakes, the co-pilot's door opened and a tall young man jumped down.

The black lace-up high-top leather boots fell on the ground first, his legs were slender and straight like marble pillars, and his slightly thin but tall body was covered with a high-necked beige sweater, and two hands like an artist. Pulling down the gray short coat with lapel, it seems a little afraid of the little cold left in the air.

After taking out the latest mobile phone, the young man dialed a number and put it in his ear, and at the same time looked up at the right sun.

The bright sunshine fell on his head, the light brown short and medium hair reflected a little golden light, and the high nose and deep face looked like Michelangelo's hand carved. The toughness and softness perfectly blend together, with a smiling mouth. People can't stop feeling good, but they can feel unique pride and self-confidence.

Especially those lazy eyes, like the clear sky after rain, gleaming with perseverance and wisdom in their brightness.

"Ryan!"

Before the phone was connected, the girl's shout rang at the school gate. When he put his index finger to his mouth playfully, a pair of rolled eyes must be greeted.

The **** the opposite side grew a lot taller, but still so thin. Her curly brown hair was tied into a simple ponytail. With her footsteps tossing around, the face that gradually opened up was covered with incomparable splendor. Smile.

The moment I saw Ryan, the pair of brown eyes revealed unbearable joy, and the frequency under his feet kept accelerating, almost rushing over.

"Nate, it's been a long time."

As always. The two opened their arms tacitly and hugged each other gently. Ryan patted the **** the back and pulled her pony tail playfully.

"Are you finally willing to go back to America?"

Although the words were thorny as before, Natalie touched Ryan's chin with her forehead affectionately after the hug.

"Can't hide in an Australian farm forever?"

Natalie knew that after last year's sat test, Ryan went to the Kidman family farm in Australia for vacation. He is indeed a bit clever and the media all over the United States are looking for him. Who would have thought that he hid in the Australian countryside.

"How tall are you?"

After the two separated. Natalie looked up at Ryan. Can't help but wrinkle his nose.

"Six feet."

In fact, Ryan had said a little less, he was about 184 centimeters in the metric system.

"It has become the former'spindle' again!"

Listening to Natalie's words, Ryan could only smile helplessly, he was indeed a lot taller than the five-foot-four-inch Natalie.

"Get in the car. Otherwise, you will be watched!"

Ryan realized that a lot of people were paying attention, and Natalie should be a celebrity in the school.

"Hi George, it's been a long time since I saw you."

Getting into the car, Natalie beckoned to the driver's seat, George put on sunglasses and smiled coolly, "Hello. Nat."

"Ryan! Where are we going."

It's probably been a long time since I saw each other. Natalie was obviously very happy. When Ryan closed the car door and sat next to her, she bumped her forehead against his thick shoulder. "My Mr. Billionaire, shouldn't you be a treat?"

"Then what do you want to eat?" Ryan made a driving gesture to George.

"Sea snail, Yubari melon, Matsutake mushroom, golden caviar!" Natalie greeted with a smile. Ryan naturally knew that she was joking and said deliberately, "Really? Then I call someone to tell someone to go. order."

"Come on, Ryan." Natalie rolled her eyes and nudged him slightly. "What are you doing in New York?"

"I made a special trip to see you, Nat?"

As soon as Ryan finished speaking, Natalie snorted, "Will you make a special trip to see me?"

"Of course, I made a special trip to see Nat and do something else by the way." Ryan said honestly.

"It's the other way around?" Natalie said with a thorn. "You have been in Australia for so long, why didn't you think of coming back to see me?"

Scratching his cheek, Ryan closed his mouth. It's been a long time since he saw each other, so let's save the quarrel for later.

"George, take time to meet Garcia and tell him that he is doing well, and..."

Ryan glanced at Natalie who was looking out the car window, and said vaguely, "How to reward, you understand."

"Well, I see." George nodded into the rearview mirror.

"Is there any secret you can't let me know?" Natalie leaned over and shrugged. "Forget it, I don't want to know."

In the chic restaurant, the music sounded melodiously and comfortably. Ryan and Natalie were sitting opposite each other, waving their forks and knives from time to time, sending the exquisite meal to the entrance. This is just a very ordinary lunch, but The carefully prepared dishes in the restaurant still made the two index fingers move.

"This restaurant is good, Nat." Ryan swallowed the food. "I just found out with difficulty."

"It's fine." Natalie nodded. She didn't ask for much food. "The taste of broccoli and mushrooms is very unique."

"Because it has been processed with seafood soup."

Ryan casually explained, and found that Natalie glared at herself suddenly, and couldn't help asking, "Did I say something wrong?"

"Ryan~"

Natalie tilted her neck, put the knife and fork on the plate, and looked slantingly, "It was you who tempted me back then!"

"Temptation?" Ryan twitched the corner of his mouth, as if he had never done anything excessive?

"Isn't it?" Natalie had begun to grind her teeth and tapped her head lightly. "I was ten or eleven then? It seems to be in the western restaurant of the Waldorf Astoria. You use Fallacies lied to me to eat barbecue..."

"Come on, Nat!" Ryan understood and waved his hand. "You can grow so tall now because you started eating meat. If I didn't help you in the first place, you would definitely grow less than five feet four. inch!"

"Do you think you can lie to me now, Ryan?" Natalie leaned forward slightly, as if she wanted to show a sense of oppression. "I'm not the ignorant little girl back then. I've grown up, so I don't use these outrageous words to fool me. I'm not as stupid as you think!"

"Nate, we haven't seen each other for half a year. Do you have to fight if you want to meet?" Ryan put down his knife and fork, folded his arms around his chest, and put on the appearance of fighting at any time, ready to educate this rebellious girl in words.

"Too lazy to care about you!" Natalie picked up the knife and fork and cut off a huge steak in a vent. Sent into the mouth. Eat with relish.

"That's right. Has your driver's license been taken?" At the age of sixteen, you can get your internship driver's license. Natalie asked this, "I'm still waiting for you to take me for a drive."

"No." Ryan stretched out his hands helplessly, "I have been practicing in Australia for a long time. But recently I have no time to take the exam."

"What are you going to do again?"

"Stay in New York for a few days, and then go to Scotland to visit. Nicole is filming there. This is her first time as a producer. I have to go and see it. My new movie is about to start filming, and I will go back to Los Angeles. Reunited with Stephen, and I want to apply to the Film School of the University of Southern California." Ryan roughly talked about his itinerary.

"Nicole is a producer?" Natalie blinked, and the complexity on her face was fleeting. "Oh, I remember it, it seems that Scarlett is on the crew."

"Scarlett? Your kid?" Ryan thought about it, and understood who Natalie was talking about. "She looks like Nicole's daughter."

"What about your new play? Is it the story of the liar in the letter?" Natalie changed the subject.

"Yeah. It's "There's a Kind to Catch Me", dear Nat, do you want to go to Los Angeles with me." Ryan laughed happily, "I found an Oscar best director to take the shot, and found An Oscar actor partnered with me!"

"What about the Titanic? Are you still not sure whether you want to play?" Natalie knows many things.

"I have to wait for the filming of this film to be finished, and I have talked with James to decide." Ryan remembered the big ship that had been prepared for two years, and sighed, "Preliminary preparations will take time. The film will not start until summer at the earliest. ."

The most troublesome thing about the Titanic is not the shooting, but the huge preparations and complicated post-production special effects. Needless to say, the former, James Cameron has almost become a Mexican citizen in the past two years, and the latter started last year. Experimental work on models, special effects, cg, etc.

"What about you, Nat, when will the filming of "Everyone Say I Love You" start?"

Although this is Woody Allen's movie, Ryan is not worried. The investors and production manager are both from Miramax, and he has already said hello.

"Just these few days, so..." Natalie stuck out her tongue playfully, "I can't go to Los Angeles with you."

"Come on, Nat, you didn't even think about it."

Ryan's mobile phone rang at this time, but it was Scott Swift when it was connected.

"Ryan, all the formalities have been completed, just waiting for you to sign."

"Great."

Even as calm as Ryan, there was an undisguised joy on his face at this time, "Good job, Scott!"

"It should be isn't it?"

"Okay, what time? Um... OK, no problem."

When Ryan hung up the phone, Natalie couldn't help being a little curious. She knew that as Ryan got older, there were fewer and fewer trips and more and more calmness. What would make him so happy?

"What happened, Ryan?"

"Nate, do you want to be a superhero? Invisible girl, black widow, Peggy Carter can choose whatever you want." Ryan smiled very brightly, and the person sitting opposite was not an outsider, so you don't need to cover up too much, "If you are not satisfied , You can let the comic company recreate a female superhero based on your image."

"Forget it, Ryan." Natalie darkened her face, and then asked, "You bought a comic company?"

"Yes! Dear Nat, I am the surprised boss."
