The God's Boy

It was getting late, but he still didn't want to move.

Until the door of Nick's wooden house was knocked, the rhythmic knocking sound drove away the last bit of sleepiness in Nick, he stood up with difficulty and fumbled to open the door, thinking it was Gatsby's housekeeper to remind him of the appointment or something, but Unexpectedly, it was Gatsby himself standing at the door, and Nick immediately wrapped himself in the pajamas that almost hung around his waist, and then invited Gatsby into the room.

Gatsby put down his hat and cane at the door, and when he walked into the living room, he saw Nick talking to him as he walked towards the bedroom, "Sorry, I got up a bit late, you wait in the living room for a while, I'll go change clothes first." After that, he closed the bedroom door. Gatsby sat on the small sofa in the living room and looked around. The familiar environment brought back a lot of memories for Gatsby, especially the pendulum clock, which can be regarded as the relationship between him and Daisy. An important testimony of the turning point.

It didn't take long for Nick to change clothes. Gatsby was in a daze for a while while waiting, recalling his past, and when he came back to his senses, he saw that Nick had changed clothes and was standing in front of the bathroom mirror.Nick combed his hair carefully in front of the mirror, Gatsby looked at it and suddenly smiled, "Do you need to wear some perfume?" Nick put down the comb in his hand, and smiled back: "Maybe you have sprayed it?" Less?"

Gatsby didn't say anything more. He and Nick walked to the door. Nick handed him the hat and cane. Gatsby put on the hat and put on the coat for Nick. The two talked and laughed together and walked out the door. Just right.

Gatsby and Nick walked side by side, neither of them spoke, the journey was not long, and they arrived in a short while. The housekeeper and maid put away their coats, and Gatsby and Nick went to the restaurant.The rich food on the table awakened Nick's hungry stomach. Under the thoughtful service of the butler, both of them were seated. The lunch tasted good, and the atmosphere between the two was just right and harmonious. All in all, it was a satisfying lunch .

After eating, the two of them did not rush to the beach, but simply chatted while listening to music in the living room. Seeing that the sun finally shrank, the two walked to the beach.

The seaplane was parked on the sea not far from the beach. The white fuselage made the plane look like a flying seagull, as if this big guy was supposed to be in the sky.

Nick happily boarded the plane with Gatsby, the plane started amidst the noisy engine sound, and water splashed around the fuselage. Gatsby swore that he definitely heard Nick's scream, although the other party did not admit it.

Because it was just a test flight, the plane didn’t fly very high. Nick’s eyes were fixed on the bottom of the plane, and the smile on the corner of his mouth couldn’t be concealed. Gatsby couldn’t help but giggle along with Nick, even though he had already done it many times. This big guy.

Gatsby sat next to Nick, hearing the other party's hearty laughter, and he felt in a trance that they seemed to have returned to a certain moment in their previous life, but there was always something reminding him that this was not the case in reality.

The plane circled twice and landed on the water surface. The vibration of the fuselage almost caused Nick to fall. Fortunately, the dazed Gatsby supported him. Gatsby let go of his hand when he received a thankful smile from the other party.

After getting off the plane, Nick still had a smile on his face. Gatsby proposed to take a walk on the beach, and Nick agreed. The two took off their shoes and walked barefoot on the beach like children, with two long rows of footprints behind them.

The sea breeze is mixed with the sound of waves and seagulls, Nick is beside him, and the shoulders of the two can occasionally touch each other when they are walking. All these are so beautiful, but Gatsby wants to destroy everything.

"Nick, you live here alone, are you safe at home?" Gatsby broke the silence first.

"Fortunately, although I am a little worried, they respect my choice. Besides, I am not alone here. I have a cousin who lives on the opposite bank. You may have heard of her husband." Nick Curious when I saw the shells on the beach, I squatted down to examine them carefully, and then answered Gatsby's question.

"Cousin?" Gatsby put away the two shells that Nick handed over, and unconsciously repeated Nick's words.

"Well, her husband's name is Tom Cruise, he is a famous rich man, have you heard of him?"

"I probably heard that your cousin is his wife?"

"Yes, her name is Daisy. She was a very cute girl when she was a child, but I haven't seen her for a long time since she got married. I only saw her again two days ago. She is still as beautiful as before." Nick Stand up, open your hands facing the sea, the sea breeze slips through your fingers.

"You can tell by looking at her that she must be a very attractive woman, but unfortunately... she is married." Gatsby paused for a while, looking at Nick standing not far away, his figure against the sun was a little thin.

"Hey! I'm not someone who won't get angry! Be careful I hold grudges!" Nick turned to look at Gatsby, the smile on his face gradually disappeared, "Just because you're married doesn't mean you'll be able to happiness……"

"What?" Nick said the second half of the sentence so lightly that Gatsby couldn't hear it clearly, but he could probably guess what Nick said. He knew about Tom's cheating, and Daisy told him later.

Unlike the anger when he heard the news for the first time, Gatsby felt very calm at the moment. Extramarital affairs are a very "normal" thing in the upper class, and it can be regarded as a well-known secret.

About Tom and his lover, Gatsby actually didn't know much, some things he heard Nick tell after his death, and he just guessed and pieced together a story, if not all the facts, but about there.

Gatsby didn't really hate Tom, but was more jealous of him. He understood that Daisy's fault for marrying Tom wasn't Daisy's or even Tom's. If he chose to come back, he and Daisy Between the west and the west may not come to the point where it is today.

"What did you say to Miss Jordan last time?"

"It's nothing, she is very interested in my story, and I just chatted with her." Gatsby saw the waves rolling towards Nick's feet, and Nick jokingly stirred up a little sea water with his feet and splashed it towards Gates Compare.

Gatsby dodges with a smile, scoops up sea water and splashes it on Nick, and the two of them suddenly start playing on the beach as if they had become children. Fortunately, there are not many people on the beach at this time, and the two play more happily. I was so happy that I completely forgot what the two of them were talking about just now.

In the end, Gatsby and Nick sat on the beach soaking wet. The sky was getting dark and the temperature had dropped a little. The butler was standing in the distance waiting for them.

"Miss Jordan invited me to drink tea tomorrow." Nick said casually as he straightened his soaked clothes.

"You like her?" Gatsby turned to look at Nick with an unclear expression.

"What? No, no, she and I are just ordinary friends." Nick heard Gatsby's words and hurriedly raised his head to refute.

"It's just a joke, don't be nervous."

"...This joke is not funny at all, James." Nick's expression suddenly became serious, and he also called Gatsby James, and Gatsby didn't know how to react.

James, as a name with a certain special meaning, has never been called by Nick since Gatsby announced his identity to Nick. When he called out this name at this moment, Gatsby couldn't understand the other party's thoughts. Silence reappeared between the two of them.

"Some things I don't want others to tell me, James, I consider you a friend."

"I consider you a friend too, always have, Nick, you should know..."

"Maybe... let's go back, I'm a little cold."

"Yeah." Gatsby stood up and patted the sand on his clothes, and then stretched out his hand to pull Nick up. Maybe he used too much strength. Nick staggered a little, and the distance between the two was pulled violently. Nearby, the sea breeze passes through the only remaining gap.

Gatsby let go of his hand, and the two looked at each other for a while, then walked side by side in tacit understanding and walked towards the butler.Gatsby is now stepping on the rough gravel, the sound of seagulls is crisp in his ears, and there is a figure by his side to accompany him. Although he is a little melancholy in his heart, he is generally in a very happy mood.

The road was not long, and the two of them came to the end very quickly. The sea breeze was blowing the wet clothes and it didn't feel good. Both of them needed to go back and take a shower as soon as possible, otherwise they would catch a cold easily.

Gatsby stood beside the butler, took the butler's blanket, and handed one to Nick. Nick said goodbye to Gatsby wearing a blanket, and Gatsby looked at Nick's back while wearing a blanket.

"Would you like to take a bath at my house? You can easily catch cold like this." Gatsby said involuntarily, wanting to keep Nick, but he regretted it a little when he said it, which was a bit too much.

"Okay, but I don't have any clothes to change." Nick turned around after hearing this, and looked at Gatsby with a smile. Don't mind you can wear my clothes, of course, you can also be naked."

Nick didn't take Gatsby's joke seriously, he obviously agreed with Gatsby's proposal, because he had already walked towards Gatsby.Gatsby could clearly see the sea breeze rolling Nick's broken hair, as well as the gravel brought up by every step he took, and the sunshine behind him was warm with yellow, this scene was deeply remembered by Gatsby In my heart, some inexplicable tenderness overflowed involuntarily.

A hug

It was already a little late when Nick arrived at the agreed place, most of the shops along the street had already lit up striking neon lights, and the lights reflected the
