The God's Boy

Swaying on the ground, the two walked slowly on the pebbles, and it was Gatsby who finally broke the silence.

"Daisy wants me to take her out of here." Gatsby turned his head to look at Nick for a while, and then turned back quickly. He didn't see Nick's hesitant look, so he decided to confess to Nick. with Daisy.

"You agree?" Nick didn't look back, he looked down at the stones on the path slightly, and asked casually, not surprised at all.

"No, I didn't." Gatsby was silent for a while, then stopped, looking at Nick's back in front of him, Gatsby still spoke calmly.

"Why? Isn't this what you've been expecting?" Nick turned around in surprise, and when he saw Gatsby's calm look, the surprise disappeared and only doubts remained. He walked back a few steps and returned to Gatsby. in front of him, and looked at him.

"Of course it is, but I realize one thing. I can't deny that I was wrong." Gatsby rubbed his ring unconsciously, and he lowered his head without looking at Nick, "Daisy, she is no longer That Daisy I knew."

Nick couldn't refute Gatsby, because he also realized this. Gatsby had told him long ago that Daisy's voice had "smell of money", and he soon discovered Daisy's hypocrisy .

"I began to wonder if I was still in love with Daisy. Daisy asked me to take her away, and I agreed. My only request was for her to divorce Tom. She didn't agree." Gatsby didn't wait for Nick to speak. Gu Zi said, "I am willing to give up everything, but she is not, what can I do?"

"Maybe she just hasn't figured it out yet, you can't force her to make a choice, Jay." Nick's tone was not so sure, even he himself didn't quite believe the reason he said, and in the end Nick could only pat Gates Than the shoulders.

"Daisy and I have spent so little time together, and so much time apart, that she always seemed to me to be that lovely, innocent girl, but now... I don't know which one is Her." What Gatsby recalled in his head was his previous life, not a single moment but many pictures, the memory that was once deeply hidden in the depths of his memory became blurred, Daisy's lovely and beautiful figure was like bubbles The same thing finally disappeared, leaving only the image of a woman now wrapped in money and desire.

"Then what are you going to do now? Daisy needs you, even if you can no longer love her, you can't just do nothing?" Nick didn't want to persuade Gatsby, he understood Gatsby's thoughts, So he knew better that there was nothing he could do, but he was still a little worried about Daisy.

"No, but what I can do is limited, and everything depends on Daisy's decision." Gatsby's expression was not as serious as it was at the beginning, but he was not much relaxed, "I think the only thing I can do is Just do nothing, maybe I should walk around too, rather than stay here and watch her across the coast."

"You've done a good job, really, trust me." Although the words were a little weak, Nick's tone was sincere and convincing. This was Nick's charm.

Gatsby looked at Nick for a while, then smiled, and the familiar smile returned to his face: "Thank you, Nick, you are fine too, trust me."

Seeing Gatsby's smile, Nick felt relieved for some reason, but what Gatsby said next made him slightly nervous again.

"In fact, what right do I have to accuse Daisy? Everything about me is false, my estate, my past, and even my name are all false..." Gatsby deliberately said He spoke in an extremely low and desperate tone, and his lowered face made Nick unable to see his expression clearly, "I'm just a bootlegger, a pretentious poor boy..."

Nick was a little surprised, he had a premonition that he would get to know the real Gatsby again, and he was a little excited at the moment, who didn't want to listen to other people's privacy, but Nick didn't show it on the surface, and looked at Gatsby restrained and polite.

In the next period of time, Nick knew a lot of things from Gatsby, including Gatsby's life experience and his experience of becoming Gatsby. All this was too incredible for Nick, but he had no doubts. the reality of these things.

Gatsby talked about his embarrassment in the past and the filth under his current glamorous identity, and he didn't forget to tell Nick that he planned to start trying to get out of the bootlegging trade, and his mood was unexpectedly calm.

"If Daisy knew all this, I don't think she would even come here to see me." Gatsby quickly finished his first half of his life, and he waited silently, waiting for Nick to say something .

"Trust me, you're fine, Jay." Nick hugged Gatsby, he was at a loss for words again, all he could do was give Gatsby a hug, the two separated quickly, looked at each other and smiled, tacit understanding The two stopped talking and continued to walk side by side towards the beach.

On a summer afternoon, the sun was just right, and there were not many people on the beach. Nick and Gatsby soon found Daisy who had changed, and they walked towards Daisy.

"You came too slowly, see? Even the waves are waiting for us!" Daisy looked at the blue sea with a ready smile on her face.

"Sorry, I've been delayed by something on the way." Gatsby smiled apologetically at Daisy. Daisy didn't say anything, but urged the two of them to change into their swimsuits, but stopped Nick and asked him to take two pictures for her. photo.

Gatsby went to change his swimsuit first, Nick took pictures of Daisy on the beach, the blue sky, white clouds and the sea became the most beautiful background, and Daisy in the sun was elegant and moving, all these became the scenery in Nick's camera.

off track

Gatsby was not slow to change clothes. When he came out, Nick had already taken several photos of Daisy. Daisy saw that Gatsby had come out, so she let Nick put down the camera and go Change into swimsuits.

Gatsby walked towards Daisy, Daisy wanted to take Gatsby's arm, but Gatsby dodged without a trace, this move made Daisy fully realize that Gatsby's determination was stronger than hers. Thinking more firmly, she quickly covered up her gaffe, walked to Gatsby's side, and looked at the beautiful sea with him.

"I'm sorry, I behaved too badly in front of you before, I hope you don't mind, Jay." Daisy lowered her head slightly, her expression was not clear, but her words were full of apology and vulnerability , no one can not accept the apology that comes out of her mouth.

"It's okay Daisy, I'm sorry too. In fact, I never thought that I would disturb your life. I just want to silently love you and hope you can live well." If Gatsby hadn't experienced Everything in the first life, then the words he said now are undoubtedly lies. His desire in the past was to regain Daisy's love and regain the position next to Daisy, but for him now, what he said now is also true. truth.

Gatsby can't tolerate Daisy's hesitation and hypocrisy, but he can't betray his past, so all he can do is let go, which is the best choice he can make.

Gatsby was in a daze for a while looking at the sea, and the ring on his right hand was rubbed unconsciously by him. Soon he regained his thoughts, and he turned to Daisy and said, "Actually, I'm preparing for a game." The party, I hope you and your husband can attend, this may be an opportunity for your relationship to ease."

Daisy happily agreed, at least she looked very happy, and even discussed with Gatsby what shoes she should wear to match the evening dress she just bought, Gatsby did not disappoint her and gave Some nice suggestions.

The conversation between Daisy and Gatsby stopped after Nick appeared, as if the tacit performance was over.Nick handed the camera to the butler, and then stood beside Gatsby and Daisy. He did some warm-up actions casually, and then proposed to the two people: "Let's have a game? Let's see who can swim first. to that place."

Nick was referring to a platform floating on the sea not far away, which was arranged by the housekeeper before, and there was a not-too-high diving platform on it, which was an eye-catching sign on the sea.

"Winners should be rewarded, Nick." Daisy spoke out first. She stretched her limbs, and her voice became more pleasant with the waves.

"I agree, a game without rewards is not attractive." Gatsby also turned to look at Nick, with a particularly nice smile on his face.

"Look at what you said, even if there are prizes, I shouldn't be the ones offering them. Even if I offer prizes, I'm afraid you don't like the prizes I offer." Nick pretended to be a little unhappy, but he couldn't hold back any longer. I laughed first, and the atmosphere among the three was very harmonious.

Naturally, none of the three people really cared about the prizes, they were just casual jokes, so soon they went to the sea and began to enjoy the wonderful feeling of wandering in the sea.

Gatsby immersed himself in the sea water, he let the rhythm of the waves float up and down, he just closed his eyes quietly and felt the sound of the waves rolling in his ears, as if everything had disappeared, there was an inexplicable loneliness Sensation wrapped him tightly, and at this moment he seemed to have returned to the day when he felt the blood and life passing quietly in the cold water after he was shot.

Ever since Gatsby came back to life, he seldom recalled the events of that day. After all, the feeling of death is real, and no one wants to relive the feeling of death again and again.
