The God's Boy

, it seemed that Daisy and Tom had some friction, and the two of them suddenly calmed down when they saw Gatsby appearing.

"Mr. Gatsby, I don't think you mind if I drive your car, do you?" Tom gave Gatsby a rare smile, although he still looked a bit reluctant, but Gatsby didn't seem to notice. Same, he smiled and replied: "Of course, but I may not have enough gas in the car."

Tom glanced at the dashboard of the car, compared the amount left in the car, and thought about it, he put on his sunglasses, and said to Gatsby: "It's okay, it should be enough to drive to the grocery store. As long as you have enough money, the grocery store will provide everything you need."

Tom was still chattering, but Daisy seemed to be offended by certain words in Tom's words, and pulled Gatsby angrily. She got into the car and said to Tom: "You take Jordan And Nick, see you at the hotel."

Tom seemed to realize something, and his face suddenly became gloomy. He glanced at Gatsby, and finally said nothing, agreeing to Daisy's arrangement. After Nick and Baker sat down, Tom saw Gatsby and Daisy. Before Xi was ready, he started the car first and rushed out roaring.

The passing cars brought a gust of wind, and the fallen leaves swirled and flew up and down. Tom drove very fast. After all, it was a new car. The feeling of driving was a little different from his car. Wind, but thinking about the conversation on the phone at noon.

Although Myrtle had called him before, he had never been as eager as today, because Daisy seemed to have noticed something, so Tom didn't listen to the phone carefully, but seemed to have heard what the other party mentioned and left topic, which gave him a bad feeling.

When Tom came back to his senses, he realized that at some point, Gatsby had already caught up with him. The sound of the roaring engine rang in his ears. Tom accelerated again and quickly overtook him.

When Gatsby caught up, Nick looked at him, and the latter gave him a very bright smile, but soon Nick lost Gatsby's figure, Tom's car was driving too fast, which made him feel helpless. Don't hold the door tightly to stabilize yourself.

The wind was whistling in his ears, Gatsby was in a good mood, and Daisy, who was sitting beside him, also became happier. She couldn't help screaming, as if the wind had taken away all the troubles.

The road to the city was not very far, not to mention the speed of the two cars, so Tom stopped by the grocery store with a large lead over Gatsby, and asked Wilson to help his car with gas.

Tom stroked his hair smoothly. He stood beside the car, chatting casually with Wilson, looking around, not knowing what he was looking for.When Wilson mentioned that he would go west with his wife, Tom looked back at him in surprise. He felt that there seemed to be something secret hidden in Wilson's smile.Tom was stunned at first, but suddenly he turned his head and looked at the window on the second floor of the grocery store. His lover Myrtle was looking at him with tears in his eyes, and his eyes were full of reluctance and helplessness. She made Tom feel more pity for her.

Baker didn't seem to be aware of it, but Nick noticed something was wrong with Tom. He followed Tom's eyes and saw Ms. Myrtle by the window. He also heard Wilson's words, so he naturally guessed Tom's entangled mood at the moment , but this is not his business, and naturally he does not intend to intervene.

Just when Tom was in a daze, Gatsby's car was getting closer and closer, which made Tom quickly realize that he didn't have time to think about anything, so he got into the car in a hurry, and even dropped the money casually. However, it was Nick who took a look at Ms. Myrtle as the car sped away, and the almost desperate look in Myrtle's eyes made him uncomfortable.

Gatsby's car roared past, and Tom followed closely behind. The workers on both sides of the road subconsciously avoided the two cars. The dust stirred up behind the car gave off a puff of black smoke, and many people stood on the side of the road watching the speeding car. And the car to go to, that may be a world that they will never be able to touch in their entire lives.

conflict

The hot weather seemed to melt the lines of everything, making it unbearable.Tom and his party were waiting in the room for the waiter to cut ice cubes. The fan was blowing wind, but this did not mean that there was a hint of coolness. The windows on the wall were all open, but unfortunately there was no wind. None of the curtains moved.

Tom watched the waiter's actions at the table. He picked up a relatively large ice cube, wrapped it in a handkerchief, and put it on his neck. It was much cooler. Although the effect was not obvious, it was better than nothing.

The waiter collected the crushed ice and put them in every corner of the room. I don't know if it was a psychological effect. Everyone felt a little cooler, although the coolness was just a drop in the bucket.

Gatsby is sitting by the window, Nick is standing in the corner holding a glass of wine, and Daisy and Baker are slumped on the sofa. Although these people seem to be harmonious on the surface, everyone knows in their hearts that contradictions are nothing but Something hidden under the blanket, covered up but impossible to ignore.

The waiter was dismissed, and the restlessness in Tom's heart that was calmed down by the ice cubes revived again at this moment, especially when he turned his head and saw Gatsby sitting there indifferently, a nameless anger suddenly appeared in his heart, which made Tom He couldn't help saying: "Mr. Gatsby, I heard you are from Oxford?"

The targeting in Tom's tone was a bit too obvious, which made everyone look a little weird, especially Daisy, but Gatsby didn't change at all. He turned his face when he saw Tom called his name. Come, but there is only a smile on his face, and he doesn't seem to notice anything wrong.

"No, not exactly..."

"Oh yes, I know...you have read Oxford." Before Gatsby finished speaking, he was interrupted by Tom. Tom's words obviously looked down on him. If it was Gatsby in the previous life, he would definitely A little bit impatient, but now, Gatsby is also calmly coping without changing his face.

"I've been to Oxford..."

"Are you wearing a pink suit?" Tom interrupted Gatsby again, his tone and content were more extreme than last time, which made Daisy subconsciously stop him. Tom glanced at Daisy, maybe it was Daisy. Seeing the obvious displeasure on Tom's face, Tom really restrained himself a bit, but he still didn't intend to let Gatsby go, "Actually, I want to know when you went to Oxford."

Gatsby didn't answer Tom's words right away. Instead, he picked up his glass and stood up, and walked to the window. He looked at the too bright sunlight outside the window, as if recalling the past, until Tom urged him, and Gatsby said: "1919 , I was there for five months, so I say I'm not really a real Oxfordman."

After hearing Gatsby's answer, even Daisy's complexion improved a lot, and Tom's original aggressive expression subsided, Nick smiled indistinctly, and Baker still had an expression on his face.

"You know, this is an opportunity they give us who fight on the battlefield..." Gatsby finished speaking, this is not a lie, he did study at Oxford, but later for various reasons, he had to Leaving there, he took a sip of his wine as he spoke, and saw Nick smile at him veiledly. Gatsby didn't know that Nick admired his calmness in his heart, and it would be better if he knew his mood.

"Tom, I think I'd better pour you a glass of wine, and you won't look so stupid after you drink it." Seeing that Tom was speechless by Gatsby's rebuttal, Daisy planned to change the topic, but Tom didn't expect Still clenching his teeth, he said, "Wait a minute, I want to ask Mr. Gatsby another question."

Gatsby knew that Tom was going to get straight to the point, so he wasn't in a hurry. Anyway, it was all over for him, and naturally he wouldn't behave as terriblely as he did in his previous life.

Seeing that Gatsby didn't refuse, Tom then asked Gatsby in an almost questioning tone, "What do you want to do in my house?"

Tom's eyes swept over Daisy's face, and finally fell on Gatsby. Gatsby also looked at him without any panic, and Daisy was a little angry when he heard Tom's question.Daisy understood what Tom meant. Although Gatsby and her did have an unforgettable memory, and she even had plans to rekindle the old relationship, she and Gatsby were indeed innocent. , she has a clear conscience.Tom's question is not only questioning Gatsby, but also doubting Daisy's loyalty. Daisy's anger is out of control when she thinks of Tom's betrayal that is almost on the surface.

"He didn't do anything, it's you who made trouble, please control yourself!" Daisy said to her husband before Gatsby, everyone in the room knew that Daisy was angry, and Tom even misunderstood Daisy was angry because he questioned Gatsby, which made him ignore Daisy's words and act more rudely.

"Oh, so should I just hide and let this bastard from nowhere have sex with my wife? If that's your suggestion, I'm never going to do it."

Tom pursed his lips, and glanced at everyone in the room with some sinister eyes. He walked back and forth in the small living room, making some small movements involuntarily, completely revealing his heart.Daisy looks at her husband, disrespectful, rude, even aggressive, she has never been around her husband
