/"I ran away after I slept with Gatsby, but he waited for me for sixteen years"
What was it like to travel to the world of "The Great Gatsby"?
Emily: Thank you. Just got off the ox cart and found myself in North Dakota. He has a nice face, but he is very stupid. He is already asleep and ready to run.
When she was ten years old, she recognized that the pretty boy next door was the future Gatsby. She thought to herself: He is a tragic hero anyway, and if he doesn't sleep, he won't sleep in vain.
When she was sixteen, she succeeded. Throughout the year, I slept in barns, wheat fields, riversides, and haystacks.
When he was seventeen, he left. She stood at the door, waving goodbye, with only two words in her heart: It was worth it.
Then she got married and lived her own life, forgetting all about him.
Twelve years later, he returned in military uniform.
She is married.
He looked at her husband with eyes that would eat him up.
"You can stop loving me," he said word for word, "but you can't stop me from loving you."

Male protagonist
When he was ten years old, James Gates first met Emily Brown at a church picnic.
She sat under the shade of a tree, holding a glass of lemonade and lazily looking at their group of running boys. The way she looked at him was different from others - it wasn't pity, it wasn't disgust, it was something he couldn't understand.
Later he learned that that kind of look was called "pictures of your face".
When she was sixteen, she coaxed him into the barn. That whole year, he was hers. He thought she would wait for him, but she stood at the door without even looking back.
He waited for twelve years, and when he came back, she was married.
Purpose: True love is eternal
