[The Great Gatsby] Male God

West Egg is a good twenty miles from the city.Compared with East Egg, an old wealthy area, this place is synonymous with nouveau riche.The split Long Island is like a pair of eggs, very similar in shape, as if they hit each other, broke, and presented an irregular ellipse.There was a bay in the middle, and on the West Egg side there was a brand new tower capped with lush ivy.There is also an amazing swimming pool and forty acres of lawns and gardens.

It was the mansion of the rich Gatsby.

Of course Nick's home is not so rich, he is just lucky to live next to the owner of this tower.His house was close to the bay, with a good view, through a pleasant wood, and then through a perfect hill-shaped arch of bushes to reach his home.However, it is just a small wooden shed. It looks like an old man who has endured wind and rain for many years, and he is a little overwhelmed.

The swing stand at the door is very charming, and the simple white makes people feel pure.

A golden nest and a silver nest are like your own doghouse, it would be great to have these.So Nick saw it, still showing joy.And there was one thing that seemed strange to him. Although the place wasn't too difficult to find, Gatsby seemed to be familiar with it. He turned here without saying a few words.

Even, because it was the first time for Nick to come, he was a little confused and almost made a mistake.But he drove the car to the door very naturally and definitely.

Nick wanted to ask him, but he thought that the car repairer didn't know how to explore the road conditions, so he seemed to be making a fuss, so he didn't say anything.The key was placed under the carpet at the door, and Nick looked carefully before finding it.

The smell in the room is not bad. It seems that the colleague cleaned it up carefully and cleaned it before leaving.The entrance is the living room. There are some simple tables and chairs in the living room. The incoming light is like a layer of golden tulle, which makes them dyed charming colors.In addition, there are refrigerators and a hand-cranked telephone.Going inside, the bathroom is on the right, and the kitchen is connected to it.The kitchen has an oven, a coffee pot, and some dishes on a display rack.The bedroom is on the left, go in and have a look, the lighting is good, the place is spacious, there are two single beds, and the bedding is complete.It seems that the transferred colleagues really made preparations to meet him.

Although it was a very ordinary arrangement, Nick was already satisfied.It's just that there are still some personal items that need to be filled.

Just as he was about to say something, Gatsby, who followed him into the house, laughed, "Let's make do with it today, and there's still time to go to the city to buy it tomorrow."

Nick took it very seriously, and remembered that he should call home to report his safety.

He glanced at Gatsby, and Gatsby consciously went to the bathroom.

Nick taught the operator to connect to the Carraway Mansion, and not long after, his father's old and majestic voice came over.

After saying a few words, Nick wanted to hang up, but unfortunately his father didn't let go.He greeted in a serious voice: "Boy, when are you going to have a girlfriend?"

Nick felt stuffy in his heart and didn't speak.Every time this topic comes up, there will be a feeling of wanting to escape.And the reason was something he couldn't and didn't want to say.

Mr. Calloway didn't wait for an answer, and continued to express his opinion: "Girls in New York are very nice, beautiful and enthusiastic. By the way, call Daisy when you have time. She lives in East Egg, you know. Her husband But a great nobleman."

Tom's shadow appeared in Nick's mind.That muscular, mean-faced, conceited man, full of aristocrats, was once his senior. They said that they were not close friends, but being friends was enough, let alone this level Relatives should indeed move around.When his father said this, he knew that Tom's connections would help his career.

There has always been a money connection between high society and it will never be an exception.

Nick helplessly listened to his father's instruction, and when the talk was about to end, he took his head off the receiver and looked in the direction of the bathroom.

Gatsby has come out.A refreshed look.

Nick's nervous expression fell into his eyes, which was kind of cute.

He smiled, and Nick looked away, saying goodbye to his father.His father repeatedly urged him to call Daisy's home, and it was best to meet as soon as possible.

There must be something wrong.Nick agreed after thinking about it, hung up and picked it up again, shaking it.

The operator's answer was like a stiff piece of wood.

"Please take the Buchanan mansion." Buchanan was Tom's last name.

The operator complied.Nick couldn't wait any longer.He suddenly had a stomachache and wanted to wait a while but found it impossible.

He looked at Gatsby, who was still smiling, but moved closer.The tip of his nose rubbed against his ear lightly.Just when Nick thought he was going to kiss, he took the microphone away from his hand.

"Go ahead," he said softly.

Nick was suddenly embarrassed by his wild thoughts.Clutching his stomach, he rushed to the bathroom.

Gatsby picked up the microphone and waited leisurely for a while, then heard Henry's response from the servant over there: "Hello, Buchanan Mansion."

"Nick Carraway. I'm your wife's cousin." He closed his eyes slightly, and pinched the phone with his leisurely fingers.

"Oh, hello. Please wait a moment." Henry had obviously heard this surname before, and suddenly became awe-inspiring.And it was already clear who he was looking for after hearing this, so Henry put down the receiver and went to find Daisy.

Daisy is reclining on the solid-color leather sofa, choosing jewelry with her best friend Jordan.There are always some cutting-edge new products every season, and these are always accessible to women with noble backgrounds.What Daisy fancy is a diamond headband.Its light is like the stars in the night.The brightest main diamond is as big + as big as a thumb, and she is happily holding it in her hand to watch it.

Suddenly hearing that Nick had called, Daisy blinked tacitly at Jordan and walked over there.She walked gracefully, but before her body touched the phone table, she answered the receiver: "Hello, dear Xiaoni?"

Seductive, but full of money.Gatsby frowned when he heard that sound, but he quickly responded cheerfully: "Hello?"

"You!" Daisy's body that kept leaning forward suddenly hit the table, her eyes widened in pain.

Of course she couldn't forget the voice, even after five years, she couldn't forget it.This wasn't Nick at all, but someone she had been looking forward to.

Gatsby, he's back?

Daisy quickly clutched the receiver, turned her head and asked nervously, "Who did he just say?"

Henry wasn't around and went off to do other things.Jordan looked at her inexplicably.

Daisy had to bear it by herself.She took a deep breath, turned around and let go of her hand, and continued gracefully, "Xiao Ni, is that you."

Hearing her frightened tone gave Gatsby a burst of pleasure.He smiled playfully: "Guess."

Daisy's fingers trembled. She had been teased like this before, and she felt very happy at that time.But right now, these two simple words have turned into a terrifying knife, and it is emitting a frightening light!

That's Gatsby.Why did he use Nick's name? !Daisy's hands continued to tremble, and she forgot to put down the receiver.

Gatsby smiled again, but spoke to her noncommittally: "Hey, Daisy. How about we meet up next weekend. I've just arrived in West Egg and I should. Next Sunday at ten o'clock in the morning I'll see you." Go to the Buchanan Mansion to find you and your husband. I will bring presents then, and I hope you look forward to my arrival."

"No..." Daisy resisted feebly, to no avail.

Gatsby didn't give her a chance to answer the phone at all, and hung up the phone after saying goodbye cordially.I thought: Very well, Daisy will not be able to sleep well for the next week.
