Rosalin stood still on the shore.

She thought for a moment, not sure if it was polite to speak directly, or to go up to disturb the other party.Miss Marple said that if you are not sure about politeness, it is best not to do it to ordinary people.

So Rosalin stood where she was and cleared her throat.

Her voice subtly froze the tall figure under the green light, and then Gatsby turned his head.

His light blond hair was almost black in the backlight.

Rosalin couldn't see his face clearly, but she could feel that when the other party saw her clearly, the defensive posture disappeared in an instant.After seeing Rosalind, the loneliness wrapped around him was like a crisp shell, which shattered when she coughed lightly.

Gatsby shook all the loneliness on the ground.

"Congratulations on your great success." He said sincerely.

"You are clearly present." Rosalin pointed out, "Why didn't you notify me?"

"I do not want to bother you."

"Miranda gave me the original manuscript, and it turned out that she had known my surname Poirot for a long time."

"..."

Rosalind's jumping thinking made Gatsby slightly startled, but when he came back to his senses, he smiled wryly: "Congratulations to you too."

"I should congratulate you and me." Rosalin corrected, "Aren't you helping Professor Moriarty? Now you can give him the copy of the manuscript."

"I don't do things for him, I work with him."

"Really? He promised you something good."

"Where do you think my bootlegging channel came from, Rosalind?"

In this regard, he is candid.

But Rosalin also read another meaning from Gatsby's tone.

She quickly raised her smile, and after finally confirming that approaching Gatsby would not be disrespectful by destroying the atmosphere, Rosalin quickly took steps and walked in front of him.

"You are not angry," she said.

"angry?"

"For me to use you to provoke Anansi."

After getting closer, she saw some helplessness in Gatsby's sight.

The man is indeed not angry anymore.When he looked at Rosailin, his handsome facial features softened unexpectedly.Even though Gatsby didn't smile, his expression relaxed, and the slightly upturned smiling lips at the corners of his mouth made him seem to be holding a gentle smile.

Rosalind liked the way he looked.

"You're using me, emotionally, and I can't accept that."

Gatsby said honestly, "And regret it."

Rosalind: "What are you upset about?"

Gatsby: "I don't have your trust."

trust...

Indeed, we agreed to cooperate.

Rosalin quickly reflected on herself.She was curious again: "But you still forgive me."

If it were Rosalin, she would never forgive someone who tricked her.

This time, Gatsby laughed.

Even under the moonlight, even if the night was so dark like pure ink splashed into the sky, when he stretched his facial muscles and raised the corners of his mouth, Rosalin still felt like the warm sun was shining into her heart.

No wonder the original book focuses on writing about his smile.

Even when Gatsby laughed, the subjective corpse smell from Rosalind would fade a lot.

Knowing that the smell didn't exist, Rosalin was a little surprised.

"I know, Rosalind, you are trying very hard to understand the feelings that ordinary people should have." Gatsby said, "It's like a child who has not been involved in the world. If I get angry and criticize you, Then I'll do it. But the truth is, if I do it, you don't feel the same way, or feel guilty."

Gatsby paused slightly after speaking.

He put away his smile slightly, but his expression was still gentle: "In this case, I think my efforts will be in vain."

Rosalind: "Is that why you forgive me?"

Gatsby: "Why should I do nonsense?"

"you can also--"

"Kick you out, refuse to cooperate, use your connections to obstruct your investigation, and even destroy your job and reputation?" Gatsby took Rosalind's words without thinking.

Rosalin shut her mouth immediately.

She does.

In the past, when Rosailin encountered all the people who angered her, they all thought the same way.

It's just that she has her grandfather and grandmother, and Miss Marple as her backer, so most ordinary people dare not really do anything to Rosalinne.

This was the first time that when Rosalin thought she would encounter disgust, rejection and slander from others, the other party did nothing and even forgave her.

"I don't understand." Rosalin frowned slightly: "Why?"

"Ok?"

"Why are you so nice to me?"

"I told you," Gatsby replied, "I promised your mother that I would treat you as a brother and sister."

"Just because of a promise to the dead?"

Rosalin didn't understand what Gatsby was insisting on at all: "Even if you don't do this, my mother won't really come from heaven—maybe it's not heaven, and come down to settle accounts with you."

Gatsby couldn't help laughing.

He just stared at Rosailin, his blue eyes were deep and broad under the moonlight.

"One day, Rosalind," said Gatsby, "I hope you and I can reach this point in our relationship: just keep a promise to the end."

This is not an answer at all.

She still doesn't understand.Rosalin curled her lips in dissatisfaction: "If you say that, I will think you like me."

This time the man laughed out loud.

His clear laughter pierced the silence of the night sky, and the green light in the distance was still flickering, but this laughter seemed to put a layer of armor on Gatsby, and the sticky loneliness could no longer follow the green light. Wrap him up.

Rosalin looked over the man's shoulder to the green light on the other side of the river.

"You lied to me," she said suddenly.

"what?"

"There are people living in the dilapidated villa next door." Rosalin's thinking jumped again: "Nick Carraway, a very kind person. I was disguised and followed you and Tiago before, and I was almost caught. on."

Gatsby immediately understood: "I also just found out in the past few days."

Rosalind: "Don't you want to send him an invitation letter?"

Gatsby: "What invitation?"

Of course, it is an invitation letter to a banquet in your mansion, so that you can become friends with him, and then Nick will introduce Daisy who lives in East Egg to you.

These are from the original book The Great Gatsby.However, no matter how unsympathetic Rosalin was, she also knew that these words could not be said—Miss Marple said that exposing the other party's background was a very rude thing.

only……

Rosalin looked at the flickering green light again.

In the original book, Gatsby struggled to such a position just for Daisy who made a good impression in the past.He is looking forward to love, but what he is looking forward to is that after more than ten years, Daisy remains unchanged from the past.

But is it possible?

Jay Gatsby, is he chasing his beloved, or the beautiful phantom in his heart-like this green light that represents everything in East Egg.

"It's nothing."

In the end, Rosalin did not reveal her real question: "You can tell Professor Moriarty that the manuscript has been obtained, and his wish has been fulfilled."
