Chapter Twenty-Five: The Filled Heart

Next

Shinji got up early in the morning, put on an apron and made breakfast for Misato, he didn't wake up Misato, just gently closed the door and left a card for Misato before leaving, today he was going to Rei's house, before going, he still had some things to do.

"Good morning, Mr. Ikari." A sweet voice rang in Shinji's ears.

"Ah, good morning." Shinji looked at the girl in front of him, and smiled slightly when he saw that the original silver badge on the girl's chest had now turned gold. Shinji came to the car dealership early in the morning, and today is the day he came to pick up the car.

"Has the car arrived?" Shinji asked with a smile.

"Yes, Mr. Ikati, the car you asked for has arrived. Please come with me. The girl smiled sweetly and led the way for Shinji. As soon as he entered the factory, a brand-new Renault Dezir appeared in front of Shinji, milky white all over, and unlike yesterday's enthusiastic fiery red, the car in front of him looked quiet. But it won't lose the vibrancy of a sports car. Nodding with satisfaction, he took the key from the waiter's hand and started the car.

At the entrance of the mall, Shinji stopped the car and went to Rei's house for the first time...... Would you like to bring a gift? Shinji thought about it and walked inside. In his previous life, when Aotian didn't prepare gifts for others, what he prepared for others was basically bullets and bombs. So now he says he wants to pick a gift for Leigh, but it is difficult for him. What is the best thing to buy? Standing in front of the gift shop, Shinji didn't walk in because he really didn't know what to buy.

"Sir, do you need any help?" A cowardly voice rang out. When Shinji looked up, she was a girl of the same age as herself, and judging from her dress, she should be a waitress at this store.

"Well, that, I went to a friend's house for the first time today, and I want to bring a small gift to my friend, I don't know what to choose, can you help me choose?" Shinji asked.

"Well, it's an honor to pick out a gift for you. Is she your girlfriend? The girl smiled sweetly.

"Ah...... This, is it? Probably not. Shinji's face was a little hot. However, the girl didn't embarrass Shinji, smiled knowingly, and asked him to wait a while before turning around and picking a gift.

After a short time, the girl returned to Shinji, holding a few gifts in her hand for Shinji to choose. What appeared in front of him was a white hairpin, a pale blue crystal necklace, and a stuffed teddy bear. Shinji thoughtfully, hairpin, Rei is not suitable for short hair, right? In the case of the necklace, the pale blue color goes well with the color of Leigh's hair. And the necklace I brought with me is also light blue, which has the smell of a couple. Well...... Can be considered. As for teddy bears...... Rei seems to be the kind of person who is cold to everything...... Shinji stared thoughtfully at the bear in front of him, the bear was not very big, a little smaller than Pian.

The girl kept looking into Shinji's eyes. It seems to see Shinji's dilemma with two gifts. smiled sweetly. "This gentleman, generally speaking, the purpose of giving a girl necklace is to express his heart for the other party, and if the plush animal is used, it will make the other party feel warm and caring." When Shinji heard this, the corners of his mouth rose slightly. "Then trouble you, I want both." Shinji pointed to the necklace and the bear beside him.

a.tfield――

Rei's apartment is located in a residential area in the old city, and Shinji once again pulls out the address to confirm with the building in front of him that is about to be demolished. I didn't expect Rei to live in such a place, Shinji, who had confirmed it repeatedly, frowned slightly, feeling the noisy environment around her, and the sound of demolition came and went, and even the bridge she passed by when she was driving just now was full of cracks. Shinji's face was a little cold. Silently walked into this so-called apartment. The hallway is full of garbage. From the hallway of the apartment, he could clearly hear the demolition of the building next to him. Not only that, but just a short distance from the whole apartment, there are railroad crossings. If a train passes by at night, how noisy it will be?

Room 402, where Rei lived, looked around, and Shinji didn't notice that someone's breath was there, not even when he went upstairs by himself. Is Liz the only one living in the whole building? With his own questions, Shinji reached for the doorbell and rang the doorbell. The tinkling of the bell did not come out. Is it broken? Oh my God, Leigh, how bad is the environment you live in...... Shinji's brow tightened. There was a gentle knock on the door. Then he shouted "Leigh, are you there?" I'm Shinji Ikari. No one responded. I knocked on the door again, but there was still no response. Isn't Leigh there? Shinji wondered. My own knocking hand accidentally landed on the doorknob.

Smack. The door opened.

Shinji Khan...... This girl. Don't even close the door? But come to think of it, in such an environment. Maybe the gate is a kind of decoration. When I opened the door, I saw that the mailbox on the door was full of messy letters. But there was no sign of dismantling. Shinji didn't pay attention, opened the door and walked in. Looking at the row of shoe prints on the floor, Shinji sighed helplessly. When you go back, be sure to ask who Leigh's guardian is. Shinji took off his shoes and walked into the house. "Excuse me. Rei, it's my Shinji, I'm here to send you the nearest ID card. ”

Shinji's words were not answered. "Leigh, are you there, I'll give you ......" The words were just halfway over. Shinji was shocked by the sight in front of him, the whole house can be said to be clean, or it can be said to be messy. Although the two words are used in the same place is very contradictory, it is a true portrayal of Li's room. It is said to be clean because the whole room has nothing to call furniture except for a bed, a small cabinet, a small Xiaoice box used as a cabinet, and a chair, and when you look up, there is only a hanger besides the lamp, if that is also furniture. And it is messy because the walls of the whole room are not painted at all, and they can't even be called walls, just a space made of several steel plates. Shinji even wondered if the building was not far from being demolished. The purple curtains are a little gray because of the dust. There were shoe prints all over the ground. Except for a flickering light rope switch on the ceiling that proves that the house was once inhabited, there is no place in the whole house that can show that it has the breath of life. There were several boxes on the ground, the boxes were full of blood-stained used bandages, and on the Xiaoice box was a chemical beaker filled with water, and next to the beaker were some drugs with the nerv logo.

Shinji frowned. Is this how Rei lives in such a room every day? He took out the stuffed teddy bear he had just bought from his necklace and placed it on the bedside table.

"Huh?" Shinji found something on the bedside table that didn't match the environment, it was a pair of glasses that had been shattered. Remember Rei doesn't wear glasses, right? And the thickness of this lens. It's like my father's. Shinji smiled helplessly, it seemed that Rei was really grateful to her father. Presumably this was broken by Dad last time to save Li, and then Liz picked it up. Without moving the glasses, Shinji walked towards the only large piece of furniture in the house, Rei's bed. The whole bed was similar to the one I saw in the hospital. There was still a slight stain of blood on the pillow. An incandescent lamp was sandwiched between the bedside. Shinji was skeptical that it would light up, though. The quilt on the bed was not folded, it was just scattered, according to all the evidence. Leigh's life experience can be considered basically zero. Maybe no one had taught her how to clean her room at all. This guardian is too unduly duty-bound, and Shinji is a little angry in his heart. As soon as he wanted to help Li tidy up the room, he found a few clothes on the bed. It is Leigh's school uniform.

Wait a minute! Shinji's heart jumped. When I saw Leigh before, she was wearing either a hospital gown or a school uniform, but now Li's school uniform is on the bed, if Lily only has one set of school uniforms......

Crash.

It was the sound of the door opening, because I was still thinking about the clothes. The sudden sound made Shinji reflexively look back, and what caught his eye was Rei, who had just come out of the bath, standing naked in front of him like a newborn baby. Only a large bath towel was placed on her chest, covering up some of her two petite jade rabbits. The sky blue hair was hung with a few droplets, and the red eyes flickered at him, and the two of them looked at each other like that. Maybe for a moment, maybe for a long time, Shinji reacted.

"Ah...... That one...... Leigh, I'm sorry, I didn't know you were taking a shower. Shinji's face turned red with a rub. Hurriedly turned around. "I'm sorry, Li, I'm here to give you an ID card, and I walked in by myself when I saw that the door was unlocked, I didn't mean to offend you, I'm really sorry." Shinji hurriedly apologized, thinking to himself that he might have played too big this time.

Da, da, da......

It was Rei's footsteps, and the more Shinji listened, the more panicked he became. I don't want to come over and slap myself. But it's okay, just fan it. As long as she's not angry.

The footsteps stopped, and with Shinji's ears, he knew that Rei was stopping behind him at the moment.

"Shinji-kun." Lil's soft voice rang out.

"Yes." Shinji closed his eyes and looked back, waiting for his fate to be judged.

For a long time, the slap he expected did not come to him. Shinji was a little surprised, and slowly opened his eyes, and saw Rei's face that had been magnified in front of him, and ruby eyes were staring at him. Shinji was a little flustered, but he stood there straight and didn't dare to make any moves. At this time, the distance between the tips of the noses of the two was only three centimeters.

"Last trial, why did you save me?" Leigh was the first to break the embarrassment. Asked softly.

"Huh?" Shinji was stopped by Rei's question, smiled awkwardly and replied, "I remember answering this question before." Ha...... Haha" But Leigh was clearly not happy with this answer. Seeing Rei's serious expression, Shinji relieved his breath and replied anew. "I had a conviction in my heart at the time. If I don't save you, I think I'll regret it for the rest of my life. Shinji's words made Rei's body tremble slightly, and there was a hint of emotion in her eyes, which turned dark in an instant. Bowed his head. "I ...... I don't deserve your help. I'm just a puppet. ”

It's just a soft word, but it makes Shinji like a lightning strike. "What stupid are you talking about?" Shinji was a little impulsive and grabbed Reijing's shoulder. "Don't say that kind of thing, you're not a doll, you're you, Rei Ayanami." The more Shinji spoke, the more excited he became. He didn't understand why Rei Ayanami would say this about herself, but such a beauty made Shinji feel very heartbroken, so Shinji said the words in his head endlessly, "Everyone has their own value in zài, as long as we look for it, we will find it one day." You're just as beautiful. I don't care what others think, for me, your savings are very important! ”

Rei's delicate body trembled violently, and she raised her head to look at Shinji's sincere gaze, a glimmer of tears in her eyes. "Shinji-kun. I ......" After the soft words, Rei could no longer control her emotions, and her whole body threw forward, leaning against Shinji's broad chest. The white shirt was wet with tears. Without too many words, Rei leaned on Shinji's chest like that, and Shinji just reached out and stroked Rei's jade back, but there was a different kind of warmth in the quiet environment.

Long. The sobs faded away. Shinji only reacted, and now Rei didn't seem to be dressed yet, feeling the two softness in his chest, the blood in Shinji's body instantly rushed to his brain. Hurriedly picked up the girl from her arms.

"Ahhh......h That one...... Li, you put on your clothes first, I'll put your new card here. I'll wait for you outside. With that, he snatched the door and left. If he doesn't go out again, he guesses his nosebleed will have to squirt out.

At this time, Reina's white face, which also reacted, turned red like fire. After getting dressed, he picked up his ID card from the small cabinet, and when he looked up, Rei saw the cute teddy bear on the side of the eye box, and looked at the cute appearance of the bear, Rei smiled, as if the iceberg was melting, but unfortunately, Shinji didn't see it.

"Value, do you have the value of zài?" Leigh muttered to herself. The ID card in his hand was clenched tighter. The empty heart was also filled at this moment. That feeling...... It's a touch of warmth in the summer.
