[The Great Gatsby] Male God

After a good breakfast, Gatsby sent Salonen away.

Nick caught a quick glimpse of Gatsby's tip of twenty dollars and was a little surprised.

Gatsby smiled, turned to look at Salonen after he left, and casually pointed to the pocket.

Now Gatsby is still wearing the white suit he wore when he met Daisy yesterday, and Nick wonders why he didn't take it off + wash and iron it and send it to Gatsby.

Gatsby felt very strange: "Why should I send my own things?"

Nick sensed something was wrong: "Your own?"

"Oh. I mean, I've bought it now." Gatsby quickly concealed himself, and pulled an envelope from his pocket.

The envelope was about two inches thick, and Nick froze.

Gatsby smiled triumphantly: "This is our achievement."

Nick opened it and looked at it, and there were twenty thousand dollars in it.That's what the stock is worth.He blinked in bewilderment, then smiled and exclaimed, "Oh, my God, this is amazing."

"Is this sincere enough as a meeting gift for your first week in the east?" Gatsby seduced earnestly: "Walter won't teach you so seriously."

"I thought you were a little younger than my boss." Nick was in a great mood, and the joke was quite interesting.It's getting late, it's time to go to work.But when he looked around the room, he always felt that something was missing.

Can't find it.

It wasn't until I looked at the trash can in the kitchen that I realized what was missing was Daisy's snack box.

The beautiful snack box has been crushed to pieces, and the inedible snacks are stuffed inside.

Nick substituted Daisy's mood and felt sorry for her, but he had no reason to blame Gatsby.He looked at the clock on the wall, it was almost eight o'clock, he frowned and went to pick up his briefcase: "Oh, dear, I should go."

"Dear" is just a modal particle, but Gatsby suddenly stopped.His face seemed to have won the lottery, and he was stunned for seven or eight seconds.

Nick laughed again at this time, put on a look of "you are not the only one who can tease people", and walked briskly.

"Then dear. As the first morning after intimacy, I should take you to work." Gatsby rushed to the door without showing any weakness, and stretched out his hand to turn the doorknob.

The wind outside rushed in like a passionate lover, and Nick stood at the door a little at a loss.He was not surprised to hear the sound of "Aha".Gatsby stood there gentlemanly, stroking his chin with ease.

Nick had to think of last night, they were wild and demanding each other, and they were just one step away.

He thought like a deer.At this time, several phone calls rang.

Nick went to pick it up, but immediately looked at Gatsby.

Gatsby asked warily, "What?"

There was Daisy, eagerly asking if Gatsby had mentioned her on the way back last night, and whether he had eaten the snacks she gave her.

"Oh, dear, very good, thank you." Nick could only be polite and perfunctory.And sadly looked at the trash can again.

Gatsby understood this time, and he leaned over, rubbed against Nick's ear, and said, "Why didn't you tell her it was in the trash can?"

Nick startled, his voice trembling a little.

Daisy over there noticed it, and clenched the microphone in frustration, she was in pain.Her pride was completely shattered.

In the end, she said something in a hurry, Nick didn't hear clearly, just hurried to end the call, and just hung up.

Aside from this episode, it's still a good morning.Gatsby followed Nick out.

Nick stood on the lawn, turned his head to look in the direction of the tower, feeling a little strange: "Well, sometimes I wonder if there is such a person as Gatsby."

Gatsby felt his heart tremble: "What's the matter?"

Nick smiled humorously: "Sometimes when I stand here, I feel that the other side is peeping at me, but sometimes I don't feel him. It seems that there is no such person."

Gatsby was bored for a few seconds, then laughed and said, "It's just your illusion."

"No." Nick looked at him seriously: "Although I haven't met this distinguished neighbor, I think he knows my every move."

Of course I know.Gatsby was suddenly a little shy.He wiped his eyes and pointed to the side: "Let's get in the car quickly. Stop caring about your neighbors."

"Oh, yes." Almost late.Although the work and rest of the stock exchange is flexible, it will be practical if you don't go to the office at that time.Nick jumped into the car quickly.However, the moment he sat on it, the inertial bumps made him a little uncomfortable.

The back is numb.He suddenly understood where he was not getting used to it, turned his head and kept looking out of the car with a red face.

Gatsby said a few words to him amusedly, and when he saw that he was always like this, he touched him.

"Oh, my God." He could still move his hands and feet while driving.Nick hit his hand all of a sudden, and shouted, "Be careful!"

"I thought you would find it more exciting." Gatsby laughed and stepped on the gas pedal.

A few days passed happily like this, and a new weekend came again.

Nick was having lunch in a tea restaurant when he suddenly saw Tom approaching.

Tom's complexion was not very good, he looked around vigilantly: "Where's your rich friend."

"Oh. I didn't expect to meet you here." Nick moved away sensitively: "Why did you come here?"

Tom obviously has other things on his mind, so Nick can easily distract him with his few words.He stayed anxiously for a while, and suddenly he stretched out his hand and pulled Nick up: "Hey, buddy, come with me!"

"Where are you going!" Nick was startled, still holding the sandwich in his hand.

"Let's go." Tom wanted to have fun, and he wanted to numb himself with the simplest pleasures.He dragged Nick out of the tea restaurant and walked quickly towards the garage.

Nick suddenly remembered the "little three" that Jock said, and felt a strange fear.That feeling is like walking a tightrope, and you may fall off at any time.

Knowing it was wrong, Nick's legs were still moving erratically. Soon, he saw the gray garage.Stopping at the door, he swallowed: "Didn't you mean to go to the club on weekends? Tom, I think you made a mistake."

"Wilson, are you there?" Tom obviously ignored him.Shouting inside.

After a while, Wilson came out with a hunched body.The two greeted each other with thorns in their words.Not long after, a flirtatious woman in black silk mesh trousers walked down the stairs flamboyantly.

She wore a crisp green ribbon on her head, but with red hair she looked like a proud turkey.Nick faced her and didn't know what to say.He just felt uneasy and embarrassed.

Tom decided on his own initiative to take him and his mistress to a small apartment for a private meeting, and to introduce his mistress' sister to him as a playmate.

At this time, Nick suddenly thought of a word "derailment".Another figure popped up in my heart, it was Gatsby.

He was a little flustered thinking about him.

There was a telephone booth in the distance, and he walked there without hesitation.

Tom has already arranged where to go, and ordered his mistress to move separately, but when he turned around, Nick was nowhere to be seen.He frowned and shouted loudly, "Hey, where are you going?"
