The God's Boy

Thank you just now, otherwise I would have to be ashamed here. "Nick put the empty wine glass in his hand back on the table, looked at the friend in front of him and said.

Gatsby saw Nick as soon as he entered the door, but he didn't go up to him. After all, Gatsby didn't know how to explain his true identity to Nick.Gatsby watched Nick wandering through the crowd, looking around with curious eyes, the smile on his face and the corner of Nick's upturned mouth never disappeared, until he saw that Nick might fall and get injured, and then he came out to help.

Gates quickly stabilized the pillar and Nick's body, but it was a pity that Nick soon stood still. He watched Nick unbutton his shirt, saw the wine stains on his shirt, and heard Nick call him James. Gatsby replied with a smile: "You're welcome, are you okay? I thought you were drunk and couldn't even stand upright." Gatsby took out a clean handkerchief, and Nick took it with a smile on his face. Puzzled, Gatsby smiled and pointed to the wine stain on Nick's chest.

"How could I have drunk too much when I first came here? Don't underestimate me. I still hold a good amount of alcohol. If you don't believe me, let's compare?" Nick put away the veil, then picked up a glass of wine from the table, and took another He picked up another glass of wine and handed it to Gatsby, who took the glass but didn't drink it. "Haha, I don't know if your drinking capacity is good or not, but mine is not very good. I don't want to be thrown out. You drink slowly. Although this wine is not intoxicating, drinking it in a hurry will still hurt your body." Gatsby saw that Nick was going to drink the cocktail in one gulp, so he hurriedly stopped him. The wine in the manor was all good wine, but he was worried that he would hurt his health if he drank too much, and Gatsby guessed that Nick must have eaten nothing. Drinking on an empty stomach is right. The health is even worse.

Nick didn't listen to Gatsby, and drank the wine in the glass in one gulp. He smiled and showed the empty glass to Gatsby, "I still remember when I was a soldier, I drank to keep warm in winter, and the wine was called strong." Bi just shrugged with a smile, "I don't drink well, so I can only wrap my clothes tightly to keep warm and watch others drink a bottle of whiskey."

"Did you also receive an invitation from Mr. Gatsby to attend the banquet?" Nick took Gatsby to find another place to chat, "No, all the people here are uninvited, I just work today It was already late, so I stayed here by the way." Gatsby noticed that his ring was a little worried that Nick would see it, and he had other arrangements, so now he planned to leave with an excuse, "I have to leave After a while, I seemed to see the housekeeper looking for me, maybe he was about to settle my wages, see you later, Nick."

Before Nick had time to say anything, he saw Gatsby's back leaving. With no acquaintances, Nick could only continue to wander, but not long after, he saw another acquaintance——Jordan Baker, she was not particularly luxurious. The evening dress made her slender figure more symmetrical. Nick walked up to her and gave her a glass of wine. Jordan took the glass and took Nick by his arm. The two walked down the stairs to the crowd.

Gatsby left in a hurry. He avoided the noisy crowd and handed the wine glass in his hand to the butler. He hurried back to the study on the third floor. The butler went to invite Miss Baker to the study, and Gatsby was nervous. I don't know what to think in my heart.When he saw Jordan appearing when he was leaving, he felt a sense of guilt for some reason. That feeling strongly reminded him to leave quickly. This feeling also appeared when he saw Tom in the bar last time. It was the same as last time. Gatsby also chose to escape this time.

Gatsby waited for a while and collected his thoughts and emotions. Jordan followed the butler and entered the study. Gatsby turned around with a sincere smile on his face again, a gentleman without losing his demeanor. Pull out the chair for Jordan.Jordan was obviously very curious about the man in front of him, but her reserve as a woman forced her to withdraw her gaze from looking at the man's face, and sat upright elegantly, turning her body slightly to look at Gatsby.

Gatsby smiled and lowered his head, unconsciously groping for the ring on the little finger of his right hand, and waved his hand to let the butler back away. Then he approached Jordan. The last time he was in the study, Jordan was also in the same dress, and he was also in the same disturbed mood. , but something seems different.Before Gatsby had time to think about it, Jordan said, "Mr. Gatsby?" "Hello, Ms. Baker, with all due respect, I asked the butler to invite you here. I have some things to discuss with you. I hope you Never mind." Gatsby poured a glass of wine for Jordan, "No, Mr. Gatsby, thank you for your invitation, although I don't know what you are going to tell me, but I think I can do something for you .” Jordan took the wine glass and smiled politely.

"Actually, we met before, Miss Baker." Gatsby looked at Jordan, who looked puzzled, obviously not remembering, Gatsby reminded: "That was five years ago, you don't remember It should be, I was an officer at that time. Who would have thought at that time that I would be a successful businessman now?" Jordan suddenly remembered something after being reminded.

Nick fell into a state of idleness after Jordan was invited away by the old steward. He still wanted to meet the mysterious Mr. Gatsby, but he didn't know where to find him. He knew that he should go with the steward. Nick If you think about it.Nick stood on the stairs, admiring the crazy women and men singing and dancing in the yard. The music in his ears changed the tone of an unknown tune, accompanied by the laughter in the whole courtyard, as well as the smell of perfume and sweet wine in the air. The smell seems to make Nick a little drunk.

Nick was appreciating when he was suddenly patted on the shoulder. He turned around and saw a man who was about the same height as him. The man looked younger than him. The black suit made him look slender and well-proportioned. The man looked at him with a smile and said : "Is this your first time here?" "I just moved here, and it's my first time participating, how about you?" The man walked up to Nick, looked at the yard with him, and said, "I've been here a few times, but I I don't like it very much, it's too noisy." The man joked by pointing at his ear, and Nick smiled.

Gatsby sent Jordan away. He didn't quite remember what he said to Jordan. It was probably similar to the last time, but he felt a little different. He couldn't tell what it was like, he just felt a little tight in his chest.Gatsby drank the whiskey in the glass in one gulp, wanted to open his neckline, but thought of going to see Nick later, so he gave up this plan.

When Gatsby appeared again, besides Jordan, there were two men beside Nick, one was Jordan's flower protector, and the other was the man who came to strike up a conversation. Seeing that the man next to Nick was almost half leaning on Nick, the four of them were already planning to chat in another place just as he was about to do something.

Seeing that Nick was about to leave, Gatsby hurried over and took the tray and wine from the waiter next to him. After Gatsby approached, he heard them discussing the owner of the manor, the mysterious Gates Mr. Bee, that is, himself.Gatsby deliberately stretched out the tray in his hand to Nick. Nick was chatting with the man beside him. He took a glass of wine without paying attention, and told him with relish that he was the only guest invited. Gatsby A little depressed, and even a little regretful that I concealed my identity and approached Nick.

I don't know who said that the fireworks are about to start, Gatsby suddenly remembered that the last time he confessed his identity in front of Nick was at this time, so this time, he found a good time as expected.Gatsby saw Nick's surprised expression and the bright colors in his eyes reflected by the fireworks, and his smile couldn't help but become brighter.

Nick didn't blame Gatsby for concealing it. In fact, Nick was a little reserved at first, and he didn't let go until Gatsby made fun of him. The two of them even made an appointment to test fly Gatsby's new one tomorrow. The seaplane, which Gatsby was perfectly content with.

Nick stayed in the manor for a long time in the end. Under Gatsby's insistence, Nick still ate something to comfort his stomach. He was also a little drunk when he finally left. Slowly, Gatsby looked at the drunk Nick with a smile, after all, this opportunity is rare.

The housekeeper was asked to send Nick home, and Gatsby also returned to the bedroom. There were still many servants cleaning the manor, and many guests who were too drunk to leave were also arranged to rest in the guest room one after another.

Gatsby sat on the chair on the balcony of the bedroom, watching the green lights flickering on the sea, he couldn't hear the sound of the waves, but he could vaguely see the waves rolling, at this moment, Gatsby's heart was unprecedentedly peaceful.

Remember with the waves

The next day, when Nick got up from the bed, he was a little dizzy. After sitting on the bed for a while, he put on his pajamas and went to the bathroom sleepily. The two of them were going to test the seaplane again, so he still had some time to pack himself.

When Nick was still in the army, he had seen military aircraft used by the army. He was almost fascinated by those iron guys. He even dreamed of flying for a while, but unfortunately he never had the chance. Although seaplanes and The military aircraft is quite different, but it can barely fulfill this dream.

After washing up in a daze, Nick squinted his eyes and stepped on his slippers and threw himself on the sofa in the living room. He drank too much wine last night, and he is still a little dizzy now. Although he doesn't know the exact time, the sunlight through the window Remind him that time
