The God's Boy

Going to decorate, only Gatsby and Nick are left at the door.

Nick stood in front of Gatsby wearing a familiar sweater, and the pastry in his hand still looked the same. Everything seemed to return to a certain moment in the "Dream of Death".Gatsby didn't have much thought to devote to Nick before, this time he finally found something that he had overlooked, when many people entered the room with flowers, tea sets and snacks, Nick had a slight smile on his face. Embarrassing, but more helpless.

Gatsby and Nick stood at the door, and there was obviously no place for the two of them to stay in the room. Gatsby stroked his cane nervously, and only then did he feel a little familiar.

"Today's weather is really not very good." Gatsby finally said some stupid things.

"Yes, but it's not too bad, it's just a shower, don't worry." Nick looked out, turned his face and smiled to comfort Gatsby.

"Do you think I should really go to the appointment?" After hesitating for a long time, Gatsby decided to say something stupid, otherwise he was always afraid that his nervousness would ruin something.

"Hey, what are you talking about! Daisy is about to arrive in an hour, are you starting to regret it now?" Nick joked and cheered up Gatsby, "You said it yourself, you waited so long for this moment, Are you really going to run away?"

"...No, of course not." Hearing Nick's question, Gatsby was inexplicably unwilling to answer, Daisy was his dream, how could he give up this opportunity.Gatsby persuaded himself that he couldn't escape, and he wanted to say something, but the servants had already decorated the house and left one after another, interrupting their conversation.

Nick beckoned Gatsby into the house, Gatsby was a little nervous, and even forgot to put away his hat and cane.The workers in the yard had already finished their work and left, and the servant who had just cleaned up the house was also asked by the housekeeper to leave and go back to the villa. Now only Gatsby and Nick were left in the whole house.

There was also a room full of flowers, and Gatsby's restless eyes had no place to rest. He suddenly realized that there were too many flowers in the room, and what reminded him was not only the colorful colors in the room, but also the lingering fragrance from the tip of his nose.

Gatsby was a little restless, but Nick sat quietly on the sofa beside him, eating the extra sandwich Gatsby asked the housekeeper to prepare, which was obviously his favorite taste.Gatsby finally chose to sit on a single sofa by the window while Nick was eating, so that he could see Nick while avoiding Nick's gaze.But why did he avoid Nick's gaze?Gatsby had no answer.

The hands of the clock kept moving, and the atmosphere in the room gradually became tense with the sound of rain outside the window. Gatsby's tension began to intensify. Although he knew that Daisy would definitely come here, he wanted to escape. The idea of ​​opening is becoming clearer and clearer.

In the end, the anxiety in Gatsby's heart made him decide to leave immediately. Before Daisy came, he had to choose a better opportunity for him to meet Daisy.Gatsby stood up suddenly and walked out the door. Nick was startled and hurried to stop him. When the two were entangled, a car horn outside the door made the two of them stop at the same time.

Nick happily let go of Gatsby's arm, let him wait in the room, and opened the door to meet the "honorable" guest.Gatsby regretted why he didn't leave earlier, but now that he didn't have Nick to stop him, he could get out more easily - there was a back door in the house, and he also left from there last time, and of course he could do it this time.

It was still raining, and although the temperature was not low, the damp and cold air still made Gatsby shiver. He didn't take an umbrella, so he could only go back to the house against the rain.Of course, he could go back inside and borrow Nick's umbrella, but that would only make it easier for him to fall back into the dangerous quagmire of the house behind him.

Gatsby finally rushed into the rain, the rain flooded his vision, all the scenery turned into abstract color blocks, and the skin touched by the rain became icy cold.In the same scene as before, Gatsby’s feeling is different. Last time, the uneasiness in his heart was more excited, and the fire in his heart drove away the coldness of the rain, but this time, Gatsby’s heart was more about not knowing. He Qi's fear spread from the coldness in his heart to his limbs.

Gatsby ran under the big tree in front of Nick's door. At this time, he looked very embarrassed. The rain fell down his hair, and his blurred vision prevented Gatsby from seeing the possibility of the house clearly. With the rain on his face, Gatsby suddenly wondered if Nick had once stood under this tree like him now, trying to see the atmosphere in the room through the heavy rain.

Gatsby hesitated, and he was frightened to find that he was always hesitant and timid. He was desperate for Daisy, and he was so strange as if he had died.Perhaps, that Gatsby is really dead.

Gatsby didn't stay under the tree for long, but he still decided to go back, like the former him, desperately returning to that sweet torture, even though he already knew that the sweetness was not as delicious as he imagined, it was just A very deceptive icing.

love is a thing of the past

He knocked on the white wooden door, and it was Nick who opened it. The surprise in his eyes was like a ray of sunshine that drove away Gatsby's last hesitation. Gatsby, who was a little embarrassed, smiled and asked Nick: "I look, okay? "

"Of course, great!" Nick smiled and took the wrinkled hat and wet cane from Gatsby's hands, and let Gatsby enter the room sideways.

When Gatsby entered the room, he stood at the door of the living room, but he didn't want to take another step. He just stood there, looking a little at a loss, and kept brushing his hair with his hands.Nick put away his coat and hat, and he came to Gatsby's side, following Gatsby's eyes, he saw the elf in the flower in the middle of the living room.

Daisy didn't notice the person standing at the door at all. Her elegant and beautiful face was close to the delicate flowers, sniffing the fragrance of the flowers. The color of the flowers made Daisy's face even more beautiful, and there was no trace of the passage of time at all.

Gatsby looked at Daisy, in a trance, not knowing what he was thinking. Maybe some pictures buried in the years flashed inadvertently, or maybe the fragrance of flowers in the room made Gatsby a little intoxicated. In short, Gatsby was stupid. stood for a while.It wasn't until Daisy turned around and saw Gatsby that he reacted and said hello. Compared to Gatsby's rudeness, Daisy was stunned for a while before recovering.

Gatsby sat on the single sofa, Daisy sat opposite him, and Nick was busy in the kitchen. The living room was very quiet. Gatsby rubbed his ring back and forth unconsciously, revealing that he was a little nervous.

"Are you okay?" Daisy's voice is still so gentle and soft, as if it is a deep whisper between lovers, even if it is just a simple greeting, but Daisy has such a talent that makes people intoxicated .

Gatsby used to like Daisy's voice very much, especially Daisy's whispering in his ear, which is a unique taste among lovers.Gatsby still loves Daisy's voice, but he will never forget what he once told Nick that Daisy's voice "smells of money".

"It's not bad, as you can see, I stand in front of you with a love that has been let down by time." Gatsby looked at Daisy's beautiful eyes, he didn't need to say anything, he believed that Daisy was Got it, just like before.

"Sorry to bother you, the tea is ready." Nick rushed in with a cup in his hand, swallowing some of the words he couldn't say, and Gatsby was extremely grateful for that.

The tea is warm, and there is a burst of hot air in the cup, and the fragrance of flowers is mixed in, which makes it more lingering.The rain outside the house was not so heavy, but it was still falling. Gatsby didn't take the initiative to speak in the house. During the conversation between Nick and Daisy, he only occasionally said a few words, so as to make the situation not so embarrassing.

The situation of the three of them didn't last long. Nick realized that his existence was a bit abrupt, and he wisely planned to leave his house to Gatsby and Daisy, so that these two people had a chance to express their hearts.

Nick stood up and said, "I'm going out to buy some things, you go on, don't let me disturb you." Gatsby looked like he was going to stop him, but he didn't continue, and Daisy didn't seem to feel it at all. There was nothing wrong with her and Gatsby being the only ones in the room, and she always had a faint smile on her face.

Nick went to the entrance, put on his coat, and was about to run out to leave a private space for Gatsby and Daisy, but Gatsby stopped him, and Gatsby handed him an umbrella in his hand. Nick Only then did I realize that I had made a big mistake.Nick took the umbrella with a smile and thanked Gatsby, but Gatsby bit his lip and remained silent.

"Go in quickly, Daisy is still inside, this is the opportunity you have been waiting for for a long time, you can't just waste it like this." Nick straightened his hat, buttoned his coat, and looked at Gates who was still standing in front of him Compare.

"I know..." Gatsby knew that he should not delay too much time, he should take advantage of this hard-won opportunity to get Daisy back to his side, but he couldn't help but want to escape.Gatsby always felt that the closer he was to Daisy, the more he couldn't breathe, as if something wrapped him tightly, there was no fatal danger, but it always gave him a feeling of suffocation.

What Gatsby handed to Nick was his own umbrella. In his previous life, Nick also forgot to bring an umbrella, and left in a hurry to leave room for them to chat.
