The God's Boy

He had nowhere to go but spent hours in the rain under a tree. Thankfully Nick didn't catch a cold.Of course, all of this was said by the housekeeper inadvertently later, and Gatsby in his previous life didn't think much about it. Now Gatsby just feels a little stuffy in his chest, and an indescribable soreness that lingers for a long time .

The sound of Nick closing the door urges Gatsby to return to Daisy as soon as possible. He needs to show Daisy his perfection as much as possible, so that he can have a chance to regain the beautiful love lost in memory. The excited mood was surrounded by an inexplicable tiredness at this moment.

Daisy was sitting on the sofa sipping tea, her smile accompanied by the fragrance of flowers made Gatsby's heart tremble slightly, making Gatsby temporarily abandon everything in his heart, and regained some eloquent mood courage.

"Daisy, long time no see. Looks like you're doing well." Gatsby leaned on the cane with most of his body strength, as if he could get some support by doing so, and it seemed that he was indeed more confidence.

"Yes, I didn't expect to see you here again... Gatsby?" Daisy put down the teacup in her hand, and leaned her soft body on the sofa, as if she was once leaning on Gatsby's arms. So elegant and charming.

"I think you know something about me, about Gatsby." Gatsby gradually took the initiative in the conversation, "In fact, I live next door, and I didn't expect you to know Nick. , I mean I didn't expect such a coincidence."

"Yeah, I've heard about Mr. Gatsby, but I didn't think you were the Gatsby. I don't think we'd meet again without Nick's invitation. Tom doesn't always approve of me." Coming here to the west, he always thinks that there is a group of barbarians who intend to squeeze into the upper class.” Daisy said some casual words, and she seemed to have not noticed that the barbarians she said included Gatsby in front of her and the people who left. Nick, the innocent expression made Gatsby unable to care about anything.

"That's just other people's compliments. I just don't like a person very much. You know, such a big room." Gatsby responded with a smile. He had a premonition that the relationship between himself and Daisy would never return. As before, it doesn't mean that Daisy is no longer attracted to him, but Gatsby still can't forget some not-so-good memories in his previous life, as well as everything Daisy has done.

Gatsby believes that Daisy cannot be completely blamed, and no one wants such a tragedy to happen. What Daisy did was to protect herself, even if the price was to hurt Gatsby.

"Jay, I'm sorry, but I had to do that, you just left like that, I... I don't know... I'm sorry." Daisy looked at Gatsby for a while before speaking, her expression looked It sounded a little sad, she didn't know what she was saying, but Gatsby understood.

"No, don't be sorry, it's my fault to leave you. I'm just stupid and self-righteous. I thought I could give you better. Although I'm doing pretty well now, it doesn't mean that my previous choice was correct. Gatsby sat next to Daisy, and the two of them still kept a certain distance tacitly.

"We all did something stupid, Jay, we all did." Daisy looked at Gatsby with some nostalgia and reluctance in her eyes, which almost melted Gatsby's heart, but the relationship between them The distance is not one step closer.

"I heard you had a great time with Tom, and a lovely daughter, and I know you're on good terms with Miss Baker, and I've talked to her, and she's a nice girl." Like you once, Gatsby added silently in his heart.

"Yes, Tom's and mine's daughter, her name is Pam, she is a very cute girl." Daisy became more tender when she mentioned her daughter, but she emphasized Tom's existence, as if reminding Guy The boundary between Tsby and himself.

While Daisy is refusing Gatsby's approach, for example, she keeps mentioning Tom, which is what she should do now, but she keeps mentioning the time when she fell in love with Gatsby. It is undoubtedly giving Gatsby a faint hope, like the green light on the pier, which can be seen but never touched.

Gatsby didn't see through all this in his previous life, he was stupid and only saw the hope he wanted to see, but in this life, Gatsby unexpectedly saw something beyond hope.

Gatsby can no longer remember what he talked with Daisy at this time in his last life. He only remembers that he was very happy at that time, and he could laugh when he talked about trivial things with Daisy, but he can't do it now. , he hopes to see more of the present and the future, not just the irreparable past.

It was still raining outside the house, Nick had been away for some time, the scent of flowers in the house hadn't dissipated, the tea on the coffee table had become a bit cold, and the conversation between Gatsby and Daisy was not going on. As smooth as imagined.

The sound of the door opening meant that Nick had finally returned from the rain. Perhaps it was an illusion, and Gatsby felt a chill rushing in, sweeping away the scent of flowers in the room.

Daisy was still talking softly, but Gatsby didn't hear a word, and Nick broke into the living room with a suit of water all over his body.The apology in Nick's expression didn't look so serious, a smile hung on the corner of his mouth, and the rain dripped from his hair and clothes, looking a little embarrassed.

I remember that in my previous life, Nick was much more embarrassed than he is now. After all, Nick didn’t carry an umbrella at that time, and even if Gatsby gave Nick an umbrella in this life, Nick would still make himself into this messed up appearance. Gatsby I'm a little curious about how Nick did it.

"I don't think I should bother you? I mean, it's getting late. If you want to continue talking about other things, you can make another appointment." Nick looked embarrassedly at the two people in the living room Smiling, he saw Daisy's driver had arrived, so he came in to remind Daisy to leave.

"Of course, it's time for me to leave. I really didn't expect that I've stayed here for so long. Thank you very much for your hospitality. I hope we can get together again next time." Daisy got up and sorted her clothes. Her words were addressed to Nick. , but kept looking at Gatsby.

"It was a wonderful time with you, and I am also grateful." Gatsby took Daisy's hand, and gentlemanly branded a kiss on the back of Daisy's hand, but did not give a more explicit invitation, such as Just like Gatsby invited Daisy to visit his house in his previous life.

Gatsby stood in the living room looking at the cold tea. After Daisy left, the scent of flowers in the living room faded a lot. Nick wanted to send Daisy, so he went outside with Daisy. Gatsby was the only one in the room. People, the inexplicable tiredness hit Gatsby, which made him feel a little lost.

my friend

Gatsby sat quietly in the living room by himself, not knowing what he was thinking. Not long after, Nick came back with some mud. The expression on his face showed that he should be in a good mood. But Gatsby was not in a happy mood.

Gatsby did meet Daisy as he wished, and even chatted happily with her for a long time, but Daisy's performance was faintly distant, and Gatsby thought it was probably because of his own performance, at least he didn't have the same relationship with his previous life. It also showed a kind of determination to go its own way.

Nick's enthusiasm made Gatsby more slack, as if this meeting was not what Gatsby expected, which made Nick a little confused. He looked at Gatsby with a somewhat incomprehensible expression, and hesitated He said, "What's the matter? You don't look very well."

"I'm fine, I'm just... just a little hesitant, Daisy, no, it's not Daisy, it's my problem." Gatsby's hands were trembling slightly on his knees, he was hesitating, hesitating whether to confess to Nick , although only a partial confession.

"Gatsby, you are doing very well. Daisy looks very happy, just as you expected." Nick was sitting in front of Gatsby, his expression was so gentle and focused, and the corners of his mouth slightly raised made him feel happy. It looks so beautiful.

"No, I don't mean my performance, Nick, I don't know if I'm doing the right thing, I want to see Daisy, it's what I've been looking forward to for five years, but she's doing well now, husband, Daughter, but I shouldn’t be there, do you understand, Nick?” Gatsby tried hard to express his thoughts, but unfortunately he didn’t do so well, fortunately Nick still understood what Gatsby meant.

"You love her, Gatsby, don't you?" Nick put his hand on the back of Gatsby's, his voice seemed to have a soothing effect, and Gatsby calmed down under Nick's comfort, He looked at his hand held by Nick, thinking about something in a slight trance.

"I don't know, maybe, but... I can't guarantee it, I still... love her." After Gatsby's answer after silence, he still hesitated uncertainly.If Gatsby in his previous life was asked this question, he would definitely give a very affirmative answer, even though he also didn't see his heart clearly at that time.Gatsby in this life can't answer for sure, because his faith has begun to waver, and he is not sure whether the real Daisy is worthy of his love.

Yes, the real Daisy is no longer the simple and lovely girl in his memory, but now this woman who has become someone else's wife and mother. Has passed away with the passage of time.

"If you tell
