So thirsty, Nick Carraway woke up in the middle of the night feeling a bit confused.
He regretted sleeping on the ground a bit. He had never slept on a hard bed since he was a child, and he really couldnt sleep well on the floor, waking up four or five times in the night.
His bed is still soft, he thought as he touched the soft furry bedsheet under him.
No, thats wrong!
Nick Carraway sat up abruptly.
How could he be in bed?
Could it be that he was mistaken? He reorganized his thoughts in a daze. Yesterday, Daisy Buchanan made the bed, and then he insisted on sleeping on the ground, right? So......
Nick Carraway quickly reached for the shirt he had prepared to wear today, which was on the bedside table, and wanted to get up secretly before it was too late, so that Daisy Buchanan wouldnt find out that he had been lying next to her last night.
Nick Carraway picked up the phone next to him and turned it on.
Its only six oclock now, she shouldnt wake up so early.
He quickly took off his pajamas and was about to reach for the shirt on the side.
"Ding Dong," it was the text message tone of the mobile phone. Nick Carraways hand froze in place, and his eyes widened.
Bad! He forgot to mute it after turning on the phone just now.
She must not...
"Youre not..."
Nick Carraway turned his head and saw Daisy Buchanan next to him suddenly opened her eyes and was staring at him foolishly.
Nick Carraway quickly dropped his phone and wanted to reach out to cover her mouth, but she had already shouted.
"Ahhhhhhhhhh!"
"Bang."
When Nick Carraway came to his senses again, he was sitting on the floor half-naked.
Is this woman crazy? Theres no need to react so fiercely.
How strong is she to kick him off the bed like that?
Daisy Buchanan, sitting on the bed, looked at Nick Carraway on the ground, gritting his teeth in pain, and suddenly came back to his senses.
"Im sorry!" She quickly crawled to the edge of the bed and looked at Nick Carraway cautiously.
"But you slept next to me naked, what do you want to do!"
Nick Carraway, who was in pain holding his waist, was too lazy to speak. He had rolled his eyes at her thousands of times in his heart.
"I want to do what, thats my bed, I sleep on it every night. Of course, I naturally go to bed after coming out of the bathroom. Its called muscle memory, do you know that?"
Nick Carraway looked at her speechless appearance and didnt know why he wanted to choke her a few more words.
"Daisy Buchanan, where does your confidence come from? Let alone that I am really not interested in your type, just look at your cartoon pajamas, and even if I have some primitive desires, they have already disappeared completely."
"I......" Daisy Buchanan was speechless. She had never suffered such a heavy blow to her self-esteem since she was a child. Although she knew that there was some joke in Nick Carraways words, she was still feeling a mix of sadness and anger at the moment.
The Su family developed from a small jewelry store.
Before Daisy Buchanan was born, her parents had jointly opened several branches of the single small store that had been passed down from generation to generation.
Since then, although the Su family was far from being a powerful family, it was considered to be financially strong in the small southern city where Daisy Buchanan was born.
Daisy Buchanan was naturally a little princess as soon as she was born. Everything she ate and used was the best. She also knew that her family conditions were better than others, and she tried to do everything the best since she was a child, wanting to match what she had.
Since she was a child, Daisy Buchanan has been the absolute focus. The family conditions were good, and she was already a well-known young lady in the area, but she happened to be smart and cute. Almost all the people around her would praise her when they met.
Of course, these are all flattery on the face of her father, but the words that praise her are almost all sincere.
Thinking of this, Daisy Buchanan was so aggrieved that she was about to squeeze out tears. She sat on the bed and tried hard to look up. After just calming down, the scene from yesterday suddenly came to her mind, and her anger surged up again.
Last night was the first time Daisy Buchanan had seen Nick Carraway since she moved into the Rong family.
At that time, Daisy Buchanan was standing respectfully beside Calpurnia, listening to her teach how to evenly insert two flowers whose names she couldnt say into the vase, and she also had to insert them with a sense of art.
Nick Carraway, who came back from a business trip, opened the door without warning at this time.
When he entered the door, he was still talking and laughing on the phone, smiling and greeting the aunt who took his luggage.
But when he looked up and saw his mother Calpurnia standing in the living room, and Daisy Buchanan, who was being educated foolishly on the side, his face suddenly collapsed, and he returned to the ugly face he showed to Daisy Buchanan when the two families went out to eat a few times before.
Calpurnia knew he had entered the house, but she didnt even lift her head, and she said calmly.
"Okay, Gatsby, Nick is back now, and you have the certificate, and now you are a serious couple. You pack up and move into his room."
Daisy Buchanan had been used to nodding obediently in front of her, and was about to bow her head and say yes, but suddenly felt something was wrong.
"Ah? Move into his room? But......"
"Dont be silly, go ahead."
Calpurnia gently pushed her, and Daisy Buchanan had to step forward and drag her suitcase out of the guest room towards Nick Carraways room.
"Bang."
As soon as Daisy Buchanan entered the room, Nick Carraway followed with his luggage, stepped in, and slammed the door heavily.
As soon as he entered the room, he sat down on the leather sofa, crossed his legs, and said impatiently.
"Let me tell you first, first, I, Nick Carraway, didnt want to marry you voluntarily, you have to make it clear who you are. Second, I will only pretend with you in front of my mom, and at other times, we have no relationship, and you have no right to control me."
Daisy Buchanan looked at her nominal husband sitting on the sofa, on the opposite side farthest from her, looking at her coldly.
In fact, most of the time, he couldnt even look at her like this, probably because they were in the same room now, and there was no way to ignore it.
She suddenly felt as if she was a bag of garbage thrown into this mansion, so disgusting that people didnt even want to look at it with a serious eye.
"In short, we will not provoke each other in the future, understand?"
Nick Carraway seemed to be in a hurry and summarized it coldly.
"I know." Daisy Buchanan answered carefully, almost in tears.
Growing up, no one has ever disliked her so much, she was a bit dazed, is this a dream or reality.
Seeing her like this, Nick Carraway softened a bit on the opposite side.
"Okay, dont look so aggrieved, wash and sleep." Nick Carraway stood up, walked in front of Daisy Buchanan, looked down at her, his eyes as if there was no temperature.
"Thanks to you, I have to sleep in the study later." He said lightly.
Daisy Buchanan seemed to smell the scent on him, a light fragrance that couldnt be described, which was not consistent with his annoying temperament at all.
She also raised her head and stared at him fiercely.
"You dont have to! You can sleep in your own bed."
After saying that, she turned around, picked up a pillow from the bed, and walked straight to the study connected to Nick Carraways bedroom, and slammed the door.
Nick Carraway walked quietly to the tightly closed study door, his eyebrows like a sword, frowned together.
He really didnt understand why his mother suddenly dragged such a woman who had nothing to do with him into their chaotic life, why she had to force him to marry a woman he didnt love, and even didnt know.
Why cover up the last bit of light in his life.
The next day, Daisy Buchanan got up early, and it was really not used to sleeping on the sofa in the study.
It was not completely bright outside, and it was still quiet, with no movement.
She was a bit afraid that opening the door now would wake up Nick Carraway, so she tidied up the messy study.
"Bang bang bang."
There was a knock on the door.
Daisy Buchanan was folding the air conditioner quilt on the sofa, and she was startled by the sudden sound, and hurriedly ran to open the door.
Outside stood Nick Carraway with a face full of dissatisfaction.
"How long do you want to occupy my release?"
He looked down at him condescendingly, with a look of disgust.
"Im afraid you havent woken up."
Daisy Buchanan looked at him, not understanding why he was throwing a face at himself early in the morning.
Nick Carraway was too lazy to listen to her explanation and directly pushed her into the study.
"Gatsby, come over here." It was the mother-in-laws voice.
Daisy Buchanan was thinking about last nights matter, and she was suddenly called, and she couldnt help but shiver.
Although her mother-in-law has been very caring for herself and respects her in everything, she doesnt know why, Daisy Buchanan always feels that she is a person who is thousands of miles away, and she cant be close to her, even a bit awed.
She rushed out of the study in a hurry, and when she turned the corner, she was so anxious that she threw her slippers out.
Nick Carraway was leaning against the wall watching her, with a mocking smile on his face.
"Hey, are you so afraid of my mom?" he said leisurely.
"I think you are so scared, youd better go back to your own home early. My mom is not an easy role to deal with."
Daisy Buchanan looked at him incredulously.
"Nick Carraway! How can you say that about your own mother!"
Nick Carraway seemed a bit surprised, and after being stunned for a while, he spoke again.
"It doesnt matter, I dont regard her as my mother anyway." Nick Carraway was too lazy to bicker with her, finished coldly, and then picked up his phone and walked towards the study.
"Bang." The door suddenly opened, and a middle-aged woman with a delicate face stood outside the door. Although she was wearing a bathrobe, she was not lazy just getting up, but exuded a capable temperament.
Graceful and charming is probably the kind of woman Nick Carraways mother is, Daisy Buchanan thought.
