[The Great Gatsby] Male God

"Dude, are you missing me?" The words had been on Nick's mind for a few days since that night in the bathroom.Whenever he thought of it, he also thought of Gatsby's eyes, blue as the deep sea, and as bright as diamonds.It saw deeply, deeply into his heart, knocking on the solid stone wrapped in his atrium.

Nick will miss opportunities because of indecision on many occasions.When he thought about this moment later, he couldn't pull out his gentle heart.

Afterwards, how to leave the bathroom, and how to go back to the room to go to bed, is all a blur.His mind, his heart has been dominated by this sentence.It was like a series of magical spells, chasing him non-stop.

When Nick came back to his senses, he finally confirmed a message: Gatsby didn't hate him, and even liked him a little.

However, he didn't understand whether this liking was a joke or a serious one.

In such a mood of worrying about gains and losses, Nick spent several days.

Sunday is almost here.After getting off work, Nick remembered that he was going to Daisy's house at ten o'clock tomorrow morning, and asked Gatsby if he wanted to go with him.

Gatsby was flipping through the newspaper on the sofa, holding an apple pie in his hand, and replied boredly.

Nick walked across the hall to dial the phone.After connecting to the Buchanan Mansion, Daisy's voice was a little hoarse and a little nervous.She was evasive, and Nick couldn't understand.However, because I wanted to take Gatsby with me, I said something casually: "Hey, Daisy, I want to introduce you to a new friend. His name is Jay."

The microphone fell on the table with a "boom", and it took a long time before it was picked up.Half of Daisy's soul flew away, and she didn't know how she came here these days, her face became distorted in anxiety: "Who are you talking about, who is it?"

Just as Nick was about to answer, he suddenly felt a heat in his ears.Gatsby came around at some point and stood behind him.He immediately said to Daisy warily: "Aha, see you tomorrow." Hang up.

Gatsby watched Nick's performance with satisfaction, but smiled: "I just want to ask if I want to make some coffee."

"Hmm." Nick felt extremely uncomfortable getting along these few days, even if it was just a conversation, he felt very uncomfortable.

Everything is caused by uncertainty.Maybe Gatsby can only be stabilized if he is sure of his mind.

After all, whether the other party is joking or serious, the meaning will be very different.

Gatsby turned to the kitchen, and Nick looked at his raised right hand, which was able to be busy with the help of his left hand, and remembered the interaction between him and him during the meal these days.For Gatsby's convenience, every time he cuts steak or bread, he will use a very special way.Through these few days of "practice", I have become quite proficient.

If it were the same at Daisy's house tomorrow...

Nick's heart flicked suddenly.He stopped thinking about it, and looked at Gatsby in a daze.

The next day.

The weather was much better than expected, very sunny and not too hot.But to Nick's surprise, Gatsby suddenly complained of a stomachache before leaving.He carried a small gift box alone, wore a suit and a top hat, and got into the Dodge car.

East Egg is just across the bay, not too far away.Even more coincidentally, when Nick came to the gate, Tom, the host here, was riding a horse holding a club.

At the door, there was also a girl in a maid's outfit carefully observing Nick. Seeing that he was alone when he got out of the car, she turned around and walked back as if relieved.

Nick's full attention was on Tom, who heard the phone call in the hall and understood why he was in such a hurry.Tom in a white shirt dismounted, took a white towel from his servant Henry, wiped his sweaty hair, and went to answer the phone.

Nick followed into the gate and smiled kindly when he saw Tom turning back.

They greeted each other.

Tom quickly finished chores.Strictly speaking, he was a little displeased.The call was from his ignorant mistress, Myrtle, who, in his opinion, might not really be a woman who knew her "duty".Always harass him when he doesn't want to.But so far, he still bought it, and he didn't turn his back on him. After a few casual promises, he returned to Tom's side.

Nick was very concerned about Daisy's condition, but he didn't want to ask her if she was ill right away.Talking and laughing with Tom walked into the corridor.

Tom, who had been worrying about Myrtle for days, was still wandering.He talked to Nick about his college days one after another.Tom is Nick's senior, and he is also a good athlete. He can't let go of these past honors. It seems that he can grow stronger like a young man by saying a few more times.Nick thought it was probably because Tom was in his 30s, and he had a persistent memory of achievements.This is like a woman's longing for youth, which is unreasonable.Whatever he likes to say, he will follow him and try to make him happy.

"Great writer, what are you thinking." Tom smacked his thigh with a white towel and said affectionately, "What's the use of coming to the East?"

"My boss is Walter Chase." Walter is a well-known person in the securities industry, and Nick's words are a very clear display: "I am currently studying."

"Hehe, I thought you would be a new generation of Shakespeare." Tom sighed twice, feeling really sentimental about the change of his choice.However, he thought that Nick was not that young, so he felt a little more balanced.

When Nick sees him, he always has a sense of incompatibility shrouded in strength.Tom has a pointed face with raised eyebrows, which feels very rude.In fact, he is also a very stubborn nobleman, very self-confident.

However, on the other hand, this also has a strong appeal to women.After all, ladies would like their men to have a strong protective power and bring them a sense of security.

Tom always thought so too.But Daisy's performance in recent days has shaken his concept.Daisy is always fidgeting these days whether it is day or night.Although he didn't observe her too much, he knew that something must have happened to make her feel wrong.

Of course Tom would not think of Gatsby, but thought of his own extramarital affairs on his own.He was guilty of thinking that Daisy must have found out what he was doing outside, or that Myrtle had done something.

For such a thought, Tom, like Daisy, had been for several days.Like the poorest of swindlers, their different minds made excuses for each other.

Here comes Nick.Tom felt a sense of relief.He led him to the corridor outside Daisy's door, and suddenly threw him against the door.

Backsliding Nick knocked open the white door.Then what came into view was a hazy and pure white gauze curtain.It obscured his vision like a thin layer of mist, but tempted him to explore further.Nick was entangled in white gauze.He raised his hands a few times, but his body was about to fall down.

On the light-colored broken-dot sofa in front, a pure white arm suddenly raised high.The diamond hoop on his arm dazzled his eyes.The blond Daisy giggled: "Hey, Ninny, are you okay?"

It turned out she was fine.Nick was instantly relieved, leaned over carefully, and said a few words of miss, Daisy was still so playful and charming.She was still beautiful, but she had a faint layer of powder covering her darkened eye circles.Nick could clearly see that she had grown thinner and gaunt.Pretends are only deceiving after all.

She is like a wronged princess, how pitiful.

He wanted to say a few more words, but Daisy smiled and Mimi grabbed his tie and pulled it hard!

"Ah!" Nick's body suddenly turned to the other side, and even fell over the sofa to the ground.

When he lay down on his back, he saw a woman with short black hair, long legs and thin waist, and a glamorous posture sitting on the sofa.That person is Daisy's best friend Jordan.

Jordan watched him warily.He looked again at Daisy.Daisy smiled, and got closer to Nick. While going to pull him up, she nervously confirmed in her ear: "Are you the only one here?"
