The God's Boy

Tell me you love her, then I think I will tell you, 'Be brave, you will succeed. 'But now, you're not sure yourself, so what can I do? "Nick was a little angry, but Gatsby didn't know the reason for his anger, so Gatsby could only look at Nick, until Nick sighed as if giving up, fell silent, and Nick spoke again.

"I hesitated, whether I should invite Daisy to me to see you, but Baker told me that you love her so much, I even thought that you could give Daisy real happiness." Nick Confess to Gatsby that he unconsciously emphasized words such as "love" and "happiness".

Gatsby looked into Nick's eyes, and the hesitation in his expression had faded a bit. He said slowly, "That's the story Miss Baker told you. It's a story from a certain angle she wants to believe, but you can't deny it. , I'm actually just a bastard trying to destroy other people's marriages, and what I'm doing is... just to satisfy my own desires."

"You are different, Gatsby, at least...at least you have not betrayed." Nick frowned and looked at Gatsby, his eyes seemed to have a hint of expectation, his tone was uncertain, and his expression seemed to be As serious as confirming something to Gatsby.

"No, I didn't betray, Nick." Gatsby's answer made Nick feel relieved, but Gatsby lowered his head again, his tone was a little erratic, "I don't even have the right to betray, I'm just someone who once abandoned her. people.

Gatsby stopped Nick's almost subconscious negation: "You can't think that I can save Daisy from her 'tragic' marriage, after all, I was the one who sent her into the grave of marriage .The moment I decided not to come back, I actually betrayed Daisy, didn't I?"

Nick didn't know how to answer, so he could only keep silent. He wanted to tell Gatsby that it wasn't his fault, but Nick couldn't think of how to comfort Gatsby. pale.

"When I was desperate in the hail of bullets, I thought I had to go back to see her alive and tell Daisy how much I love her. This has unconsciously become my only wish. Then the war ended, but I began to hesitate, I'm afraid I'm not good enough for her, I have nothing, so I want to see her when I become worthy of her, I thought I could, but when I hear from her again, it's her and Tom Buchan Nan's wedding..."

Gatsby's voice was very clear in the room. This was the first time he had revealed his past in front of Nick, which made him a little nervous. He tried hard to control himself, trying to make his voice sound calm, but His slightly trembling hands revealed his mood.

"I think Tom was in love with Daisy, at least once, and Baker told me they were very much in love, until..." Nick spoke slowly, and then stopped wondering if he should go on.

"Until he has a lover?" Gatsby smiled, leaning back on the sofa, looking a little more relaxed, "It's an open secret, Nick, you don't have to worry about it. "

Nick didn't look surprised that Gatsby knew that Tom had a lover. In his opinion, the previous conversation between the two had already hinted at it, so he nodded slightly, although it wasn't what he told Gates. Than, but Nick still feels guilty about betraying Tom.

"I think Tom still loves Daisy, you know? Just a few days ago, he and I went to see Ms. Myrtle... who was his lover. We even went to a hotel in the city together, and the whole afternoon , we were all there.” Nick was recalling, he was still a little embarrassed to say the word lover, “Ms. Ma'am, of course, I don't approve of him doing that."

Nick said that in the end, his expression became serious. He thought Tom had gone too far, but he had already left rationally under the influence of drugs at that time, so how could he have time to stop the farce?

"Maybe you're right, the worst is not between them yet." Gatsby's expression became ugly again, and he suddenly remembered his original plan, and the topic returned to the beginning.

"But you can't deny that now Daisy needs someone to help her and support her when her husband is cheating, even if that person is not you." Nick hesitated for a long time and opened his mouth. His idea was actually very simple, but It was to help Daisy untangle her heart, and by the way, help Gatsby realize her dream. As for whether the two will be together again, this is not something he can control. He just hopes that Daisy and Gatsby can be well. of.

Gatsby looked at Nick, both of them had serious expressions on their faces. He didn't know what they were thinking in their hearts. He only knew that the room was silent, and even the scent of flowers seemed to have dissipated.

"I've heard people say that walking around more often will make people feel better. I think I should invite Daisy to visit my manor. Maybe it will make her feel better." Gatsby's smile remained the same. It is so sincere, as if the conversation between the two people never happened.

"Of course, the flowers in your garden are very beautiful. Daisy will definitely like them. Maybe we should introduce Abel to Daisy, and she will like them too." Nick smiled happily as if remembering something.

"Abel?" Gatsby looked at Nick suspiciously. This was obviously an unfamiliar name. Gatsby was sure that he had never heard of this name, whether it was in his previous life or in this life.

"Haha, you've seen it before, don't you remember?" Nick blinked at Gatsby, with a smirk, "It's that naughty dog ​​I raised, thanks to the great Mr. Gatsby Didn't eat it."

"It's too small, I need it to grow up." Gatsby shrugged, responding to Nick's joke, "Isn't it in the house?"

"No, it prefers to play outside, and usually only comes back when it's sleeping." Nick stopped Gatsby's plan to look for puppies in the house, "Daisy likes small animals very much, I remember she once I had a cat once, it was white and it was beautiful."

Gatsby didn't say much, he turned his head and looked out the window, and he stood up under Nick's gaze after a while, the rainwater on Gatsby's body had dried up, and he didn't look as embarrassed as he was at first.

Gatsby showed a bright smile towards Nick, and Nick stood up subconsciously. The two stood in the living room. Nick was confused and puzzled, while Gatsby seemed in a good mood.

"Tomorrow, I will invite you and Daisy to visit my manor. I don't know if I have the honor, Mr. Nick Carraway." Gatsby formally extended the invitation to Nick, and his sincere smile made it impossible to refuse.

"Of course, it's also my honor." Nick's frowning brows quickly relaxed, and a smile gradually crept into the corners of his mouth. He readily accepted the invitation, "I'll call Daisy later, I think She will accept your invitation too, Mr Gatsby."

Gatsby took a step and hugged Nick. Nick stiffened for a moment, but soon he also hugged Gatsby back. The hug didn't last long, and the two separated quickly in a tacit understanding. Gatsby politely Expressing that he should leave, Nick followed Gatsby to the porch.

Gatsby's umbrella was placed next to the hanger by Nick, and the rain dripped down the umbrella to the ground, forming a large water stain. Gatsby did not intend to take it away, so he rejected Nick's plan to hand over the umbrella.

After finishing his hair, Gatsby put on his hat, looked at the mirror on the wall and adjusted it, then took the cane handed by Nick, and confirmed that he was no different from when he first came, Gatsby Tsby was about to leave now.

Nick looked at the back of Gatsby leaving. He was about to go back to the living room to clean up, but he didn't expect Gatsby to leave and come back. He was puzzled, thinking that Gatsby had missed something, and asked, Gatsby But shaking his head, Nick could only stand at the door, waiting for Gatsby to speak.

Gatsby's eyes flickered a little. He was silent for a while, as if he had made up his mind, and finally said to Nick: "For the sake of our friendship, you should call me Jay, Nick."

"If this is what you want, of course, Jay." Nick was surprised for a while, but he quickly realized that the smile on his face was unprecedentedly bright, and he did not refuse Gatsby's request.

"See you tomorrow then."

"See you tomorrow."

Last choice

After packing up everything in the living room, Nick called Daisy. At first, it was the housekeeper who answered the phone. Nick heard the other party's tone of surprise. While waiting for the transfer, Nick guessed that the housekeeper might have thought the call was Ms. Myrtle called, which was why he was surprised when he gave his name.

Daisy's brisk and beautiful voice soon came out of the phone receiver. Nick greeted with a smile, and invited the other party very simply and directly, wanting the other party to visit Gatsby's manor with him tomorrow.

"Nick, did Gatsby ask you to invite me?" Daisy asked another question after agreeing, which made Nick a little overwhelmed and paused for a while before answering.

"Yes, he doesn't have your contact information, so he asked me to invite you, Daisy." Nick was a little embarrassed, after all, his answer was a bit of a lie, but the general meaning was correct, Nick comforted himself.

"I
