The God's Boy

What's more, for Gatsby, the days after his death were also a nightmare for him, constantly reminding him of the impact he had on Nick. Nick's vicissitudes and sad back became a constant in Gatsby's heart. An indelible darkness.

Nick once murmured alone at his funeral, saying something stupid like "If I agreed to stay at that time...", Gatsby felt lucky that Nick didn't stay that day, otherwise what would have happened, Gatsby is unthinkable, luckily only he is dead.

Gatsby couldn't hold his breath anymore, so he started to swim towards the sea surface. The sun began to flood around him, and he breathed fresh air again. Gatsby wiped off the sea water from his face, before he could fully open his eyes. In an instant, he was grabbed by the arm.

"Are you okay, Gatsby?" It was Nick, and of course Gatsby would not admit his mistake. The figure he saw when he opened his eyes was indeed a worried face of Nick, and Daisy was standing there on the platform in the distance, because some It was against the light, so I couldn't see Daisy's expression clearly.

"I'm fine, I mean, I'm fine, I'm sorry, I made you worry." Gatsby smiled and apologized to Nick, and then took the lead to swim towards the platform, he should believe that the tragedy will never happen again.

Gatsby rejected Daisy's extended hand, sat on the edge of the platform, took the towel handed over by the housekeeper, and then handed it to Nick, and the two sat on the edge to wipe the sea water on their bodies, and soon Daisy Suggested a game of water golf, despite the fact that she wasn't very good at it.

Nick took the camera to help Daisy and Gatsby take pictures. He almost fell down several times without noticing his feet, which made Gatsby and Daisy almost laugh out loud. Later, Daisy turned his attention to the camera because he broke the cue Nick could only sit on the side and bask in the sun with Gatsby and watch Daisy shoot around, trying to capture the appearance of seagulls.

"It looks like she's very happy." Nick turned his head to look at Gatsby, but Gatsby just nodded. Nick glanced at him and then turned his head to look at Daisy. After a while, he heard Gatsby's voice The sound rang in the ear.

"I will hold a banquet in three days, and I will invite Daisy and her husband. Of course, I hope you can also attend." Gatsby's voice was very soft. If Nick was not by his side, he might will be missed.

Nick turned his face again, just in time to meet Gatsby's eyes, the two were silent for a while, and then parted their eyes tacitly, and then Nick said to Gatsby: "Are you really going to give up Daisy?"

"Actually, I can't do anything but give up." Gatsby was silent for a while before continuing to answer, "What I want to have and love is a complete woman, a woman who can give back my love wholeheartedly, but Now, she can't do it. Her heart has long been filled with countless pearls, diamonds, and gold coins, and the only small gap left is her husband and daughter, without me."

Gatsby's voice became smaller and smaller, but his smile never disappeared. After Nick listened to his words, he wanted to refute something, but he couldn't say anything. Not far away, Daisy's back against the light was pulled by the sea breeze. It's a little blurry.

"Daisy, are you free in three days?" Gatsby stood up and said to Daisy, he handed the empty glass in his hand to the butler, "I want to invite you and your husband to my banquet, In three days, I hope you and your husband can find time to come."

Daisy turned around and looked at Gatsby. She was very happy when she heard the other party invite her at first, but the joy gradually faded, but she still accepted Gatsby's invitation with a smile.

Daisy said that she wanted to swim in the water for a while, so Gatsby took the camera from Daisy. He watched Daisy enter the water gracefully, but Gatsby turned around and saw Nick Looking up at the sky.

The afternoon sun shines on Nick's black hair very nicely, and Nick's blue eyes look more pure under the sun, just like the sea covered by the sun at the moment, which makes Gatsby feel an illusion of being attracted , No, or it's not an illusion, Gatsby recorded the beauty of this scene in time with the camera in his hand.

When the night came three days later, Gatsby's manor was bustling early, and luxuriously dressed guests also came uninvited, and the madness of the night began amidst lights and music.

Gatsby stood at the door uncharacteristically, he was waiting for Daisy and her husband, and Nick arrived early today, but he was sent by Gatsby to eat something at the moment, Gatsby really paid more attention to Nick of good health.

Gatsby didn't wait for a long time. A black car appeared in front of Gatsby. Daisy was wearing a luxurious dress and exquisite accessories. Beside her was her husband Tom Buchanan, and Baker Jordan sat in the car. In the back seat of the car, she was also wearing an exquisite and beautiful dress, and her exquisite makeup made her look very attractive.

Daisy approached Gatsby with her husband on her arm. Gatsby smelled a sweet fragrance. Daisy kissed Gatsby on the cheek, while Tom's expression on one side was not very good-looking. anxiety.

Gatsby walked in front of Daisy and Tom with a smile, leading them with a master's attitude, and Nick met them soon, and everyone greeted them harmoniously on the surface, and walked into the noisy room together. room.

Daisy and Baker walked in front of the group, followed by Tom and Gatsby, and Nick walked at the end. Compared with the men and women singing and dancing around them, the atmosphere between these people was obviously a bit subtle.

Finally, under the guidance of the housekeeper, the group of people sat at the seats arranged earlier. Daisy leaned on the armrest and looked at the people singing and dancing in the yard. Baker sat beside her, while Tom sat on the other side with a glass of wine. Gatsby looks at Daisy and Nick looks at Tom.

Nick knew the reason for Tom's anxiety. The woman was forcing Tom to make a choice, but Tom couldn't give up Daisy and chose a car repairman's wife, not to mention that in Tom's eyes, "fame" and money in the upper class were far more important than money. everything.

"It's so lively here, I can't wait to dance, Tom?" Daisy turned around with a smile and said, she unexpectedly didn't ask Gatsby to dance, but asked her anxious The husband brought it up, which took Tom by surprise and didn't even react in time.

Nick glanced at Gatsby, but Gatsby didn't show anything wrong. He calmly took a sip of his wine, with an undiminished smile on his face, as if he was really just entertaining a few ordinary guests. I completely believe that Gatsby is letting go.

Although Tom didn't know why Daisy wanted to accompany her to the dance, he quickly reacted and agreed. He took Daisy's hand and stepped onto the dance floor. When he passed in front of Gatsby, Tom felt an imperceptible pride Feeling emotional, he deliberately puffed out his chest in front of Gatsby.

Seeing that Daisy and Tom were going to dance, Baker also wanted Nick to dance with him, but he didn't expect to be declined by Nick. Baker suddenly looked a little unhappy, turned around and left, and even stepped on Nick on purpose when he left. kick.

"It seems that Daisy and Tom may be reconciled." Gatsby said this deliberately in front of Nick. He knew that the rift between Daisy and Tom could not be repaired, but they would be together in the end. I ought to go dancing with Miss Baker."

"Maybe." Nick stood by the handrail and looked at Daisy and Tom who were dancing in the yard. He didn't know which question he was answering Gatsby. After a while, Nick suddenly turned his head to look at Gatsby, " Would you like to dance?"

just transition

When Gatsby heard Nick's question, he subconsciously wanted to agree, but unexpectedly, he was interrupted by Miss Baker who came back. Baker broke into the space between the two of them with a glass of wine. She stood beside Nick and looked into the courtyard.

"It's really ironic. Who would have thought that they had a fight a few hours ago?" Although Baker's words were a little abrupt, she was clearly talking about Daisy and Tom. Just as lively.

"Maybe, they all hope to take this opportunity to repair their relationship." Nick looked at Baker and replied casually, all he got was a very subtle look from Baker.

"Only you naively believe that they have the possibility to continue. Don't forget, they are betraying each other." Baker raised her chin in the direction of Gatsby. She didn't know Gatsby's plan. It seems that now Gatsby and Daisy are rekindling their old relationship, and Myrtle on the other side is also pressing on Tom every step of the way. She has long been no longer optimistic about the relationship between Daisy and his wife.

"Actually, Mr. Gatsby is already planning to give up." Nick didn't like Baker's tone of voice, and even his tone sounded a bit weird, "And Daisy knew it a long time ago, and now you know it too."

Baker's expression was a little weird. He glanced at Nick and Gatsby, wanting to say something more, but saw the Daisy couple coming from a distance. She could only choose to drink in silence. She couldn't act like a chewer Women, this is really not in line with her status.

Daisy and Tom came back arm in arm, but Gatsby still stood aside and did not move. He just smiled and looked at the very happy Daisy and Tom, and then ordered the housekeeper to bring some more wine and fruit.

"In fact, when my wife mentioned the invitation to this banquet, I didn't want to attend, because I know that there are often many people who shouldn't appear in front of me at such a banquet, what do you think?
