Chapter 46 A Different Tanabata (10,000 Words Lifting the Ban)

The two of them drove to a fast food restaurant called "Dim Sum" near the school, which had just opened, but because it was near the school, the restaurant's ice cream, French fries and other snacks were very popular with the students. This has also made the business of this store more and more prosperous.

Finding a spot near the window, Shinji led Rei to sit down. He sat across from Leigh. The two of them enjoyed the cheerful atmosphere in the restaurant while chatting about recent interesting things.

"Hello two guests, what do you need?" Not long after the two of them sat down, a girl dressed in a maid's costume came to the two of them and greeted them in a sweet voice.

"Leigh, what would you like to eat?" Shinji asked first. Rei, on the other hand, shook her head and motioned for Shinji to decide. Shinji shrugged his shoulders and asked the waitress girl with a faint smile. "It's our first time here, and we're still a little unfamiliar with it, can you recommend it?"

"Hehe, that's my pleasure. Are you a couple? "The waitress girl is only about seventeen or eighteen years old. Seeing Shinji's sunny smile, the girl's heart was a little moved. She's seen most of the students who come nearby, but it's the first time she's seen a handsome boy like Shinji, especially when he's accompanied by a girl with an angel's face, so she can't help but ask more.

"Hmm. Yes, hehe, is there a special brand for couples in the food here? Shinji said without hesitation. And Li, who was sitting on the side, was already blushing.

"That's right, this gentleman, to tell the truth, our store manager is a returnee who came back from ten years of learning art from hx, he has long been accustomed to the customs there, according to the calendar, today happens to be the Qixi Festival, so our store manager in order to increase the festive atmosphere, specially arranged to launch a couple package, I don't know what to call the two?" The girl smiled sweetly.

"It turns out that today is Tanabata, no wonder there are one-on-one guests here." Shinji looked around and smiled awkwardly. I've been busy fighting with the apostles.,I've neglected the calendar.,It's been another month since I celebrated my birthday with Sister Misato.,Today is the seventh day of July.,Tanabata.。 For the people here, Tanabata may not be special, but it has an extraordinary meaning for the long-lost hometown.

"My name is Shinji Ikari. Please advise. Shinji smiled brightly.

"Rei Ayana." Leigh replied softly.

"Hehe, welcome to the dim sum fast restaurant, Mr. Ikati, Miss Ayana. My name is Carly, please advise. As she spoke, the girl named Carly bowed slightly to the two of them and continued. On this special holiday. According to the requirements of the festival, the beef burger is heart-shaped, and the fruit salad is based on love fruit, cherry tomatoes, dragon fruit, apples, and mango, and lettuce, purple cabbage and other vegetables as the ingredients. Fun fries are ordinary fries that come in a variety of shapes. Drinks are available from a variety of beverages available in our shop, but of course, drinks can be exchanged for soup. The above five types of food are the latest couple packages, I wonder if the two of you are interested in trying it? ”

Shinji asks Rei for her opinion, and Rei says that she can accept the rest except for the beef burger.

"Well, then we'll order one of these pairings, thank you Carly." Shinji nodded lightly at the waitress girl in thanks.

"Hehe, thank you for your patronage Mr. Shinji Ikari, then please draw lots." The girl took out five small heart-shaped cards from her pocket and handed them to Shinji.

"Huh? Drawing? What is it? Shinji asked.

"That's Mr. Ikari." Carly explained with a smile. "Customers who have ordered a couple's set meal at our store can draw a lucky lottery from the waiter, and at the bottom of the lottery will be written in small letters on one of the five kinds of food, and customers can take a photo according to the food they think can best express the couple's mood, and then we will hang the photo on the love wall, and the drawn love lottery can be written by the lady and hung on the bamboo next to the wall to symbolize the wish fulfillment. If you do this, the photo will be jointly reviewed by our store manager and the three assistant store managers, and then the photo will be ranked on our love wall, the middle is the first place, this time the meal fee will be free, the second to fifth place around the first place, you can get a discount, the sixth to fifteenth place is two discounts, and so on. Of course, guests can also choose not to participate, I wonder if Mr. Ikari and Ms. Ayanami are willing to participate in this mini-game? ”

After listening to Carly's explanation, Shinji was interested, and turned to look at Rei again and asked. "How's that? It's free, do you want to try it? "Actually, Shinji doesn't care about the question of whether he wants to be ordered at all, after all, the money in his necklace is enough to buy tens of thousands of such small shops. He did this in the hope that this little game would make Leigh happy.

"If Shinji wants to, I can give it a try." At this time, Rei's cheeks were almost red to the neck, Shinji looked at Rei's blushing appearance and grinned, why didn't she find that Rei would blush so easily?

"Well, then we've decided to give it a try, but can we get the beef burger label out? Because my girlfriend doesn't eat meat. Shinji agrees to Carly's request to play when he sees Rei agree.

"Of course you can, Mr. Ikati." With a sweet smile, Carly took one of the five heart-shaped sticks out of her hand and placed the rest in front of Shinji.

Shinji looked at the four heart-shaped sticks in front of him, then smiled and said. "Since it's the lady who writes the wish, then the task of drawing lots is also handed over to the lady, Li, can you draw lots?"

Leigh nodded slightly, then casually reached out and took out a heart-shaped stick from Carly's hand, looking towards the bottom of the stick, which had five very small words written on it. 【Ice cream sharing】

"Hee-hee, congratulations to Miss Ayana, it's a sharing of ice cream, please wait, the meal will be ready soon." Carly bowed slightly to the two of them again, then left with a smile on her face.

"Shinji, is Tanabata a festival for couples?" After seeing the waitress leave, Leigh asked her own questions.

"Huh? How Li don't you know the tradition of Tanabata? ”

"No, I've only heard of the custom of writing one's wish on a sign and hanging it on a bamboo during the Tanabata Festival, but I don't know that Tanabata is still in harmony...... Couples related. With that, Leigh blushed again.

Looking at Rena's cheeks, which looked like red apples, Shinji smiled faintly and explained. "Well, it's true that there is no such tradition in RB's words, but in HX, Tanabata is actually a very romantic day." Shinji said as if remembering. "Li, do you know that there is a star in the sky called the Cowherd Star, and beyond a galaxy, there is another star called Vega?"

"Well, the teacher talked about it in history class." Leigh nodded.

"That's right, the story revolves around these two stars. ......Before Shinji could finish his words, a sweet voice interrupted Shinji's words.

"Sorry to keep you waiting." Carly held a tray and smiled at Shinji. The speed of the meal in this restaurant is quite fast, no, Shinji just said a few words to Rei, and Carly came to help with the food. Carly placed the five food items in front of Shinji one by one. And the back of the big cup of ice cream was placed in the middle of the table,

"Wow, you're more appetizing than you think." Shinji looked at the array of eyes on the table and exclaimed slightly.

"Thank you, Mr. Ikari, for the compliment, the food is handmade by a few specially hired chefs," Carly said sweetly to Shinji. Then he raised the standing clap in his hand and continued to ask. "I wonder how you two want to take pictures?"

"Hmm...... How do you shoot it? Shinji thought with his chin in mind. Li, on the other hand, looked at a couple not far away, also eating ice cream, and she saw that the boy fed the ice cream in his hand to the girl's mouth, and then the girl picked up the spoon and took a little ice cream and put it in the boy's mouth, and the two of them used a spoon. This made Leigh, who had never been exposed to this aspect of things, blushed slightly. Turning her eyes to look at Shinji on the other side, Rei made a decision in her heart.

"Really...... Shinji. While Shinji was thinking, Rei's soft voice reached Shinji's ears.

"Huh? What the? Shinji looked up at the girl, and the sight in front of him made Shinji's heart beat slightly irregularly, and Rei in front of her was holding a spoon in her right hand and taking out a spoonful of ice cream, and her left hand was gently protecting the spoon's side, and then the spoon was probed to Shinji, and the girl's cheeks were also covered with a faint flush.

"Rei......" Shinji looked at the girl's moving appearance, and the joy in his heart continued to surge outward, so much so that in the face of the girl's shy movements, Shinji forgot to respond to it, but sat there and looked at her in a daze. This is the first time Rei has taken the initiative to do something, and of course Shinji will be happy.

"Shinji...... Please use ......" Seeing Shinji's stunned expression, Rei's flushed cheeks looked even redder and more seductive.

"Hehe, yes, I see." As he spoke, Shinji opened his mouth and ate the ice cream from the spoon in one gulp. Immediately afterward, Shinji took the spoon from Rei's hand and delivered a scoop of ice cream to Rei in the same way.

"Leigh, say 'Ah......'"

Of course, Shinji wouldn't really let Rei say "ahh

"How's it taste, Leigh?" Shinji smiled softly at Rei, tenderness written all over his face.

"Well, it's cold, it's sweet." The blush on Rei's face receded slightly, leaving a happy smile. "So, it's my next step." Rei took the spoon again and took a little ice cream and brought it to Shinji's mouth, and Shinji motioned for Carly to find her own angle to shoot before eating the ice cream, so Rei's pure and happy smile and Shinji's handsome and sunny face. It was perfectly captured under Carly's flash. Soon, a photo of the two sharing an ice cream appeared underneath the camera. Whether it's the angle, the lighting, or the smiles of the two, Yiqiē is so perfect.

"Thank you for participating, Mr. Ikati, Miss Ayana, please wait a minute, I'll take the photo to the store manager right away, and I want to say to both of you that your photo is the best I've seen so far." After speaking, without waiting for the two to respond, Carly happily went to the store manager with the photo.

"Li, go on, I'm going to eat ice cream~" Seeing Carly leave, Shinji stood up and sat down next to Lei, and said coquettishly like a child. Rei just blushed, smiled and picked up the spoon and took some ice cream again and brought it to Shinji's mouth.

Click.

The sound of taking pictures sounded. Rei looked curiously at the place where the voice sounded. That's the sound from Shinji's phone.

"Shinji...... What are you filming? Rei asked curiously as Shinji put down the spoon after eating the ice cream.

"Well...... Do you remember the last photograph? That time in the hospital. Shinji swallowed the ice cream and said with a grin.

"Huh? Well. Rei remembered what had happened after the last Thunder Angel battle and nodded slightly.

"Hee-hee, the last photo was the desktop wallpaper of my phone, and this time I need a lock screen wallpaper~" Shinji grinned and made the photo he just took into a lock screen desktop. It was the adorable appearance of Rei with a touching smile and a scoop of ice cream in her hand.

Seeing Shinji's actions and explanations, Rei's cheeks, which had just receded from flushing, turned red again. Some embarrassed to say. "That'...... Shinji...... I...... I ...... too."

"Come on...... Please use it. Before Rei could finish speaking, Shinji picked up the spoon and fed it to Rei as well. Unlike Rei's smiling face, Shinji's face was full of tenderness at this time.

"Hmm~" Rei replied softly, took out her mobile phone and took a picture of Shinji's handsome face, and then opened her mouth to eat the ice cream in Shinji's hand. Next, the two of them had a tacit understanding and ate all the ice cream in one bite, and their happy expressions were self-evident.

After that, Shinji returned to Rei's side and began to slowly eat other food with Rei. Maybe for other couples, the first qiē just now may be the most ordinary thing, but for Li, this is a new beginning for her. The beginning of being a normal girl who finds happiness -

a.t.field――

Leigh eats elegantly, always putting the food on her own small plate little by little, and then taking the next one after eating, so that it is not wasted. So when Leigh is full, her small plate is always clean. And Shinji usually eats very slowly, and after waiting for the girl to eat almost enough, he starts to clean up the battlefield like a storm. Today was no exception, after Rei signaled that she had almost eaten, Shinji began to clean up the battlefield, while Rei wiped the vegetable juice from the corner of her mouth with a tissue, and then looked at Shinji's exaggerated eating appearance with a smile. Of course, the beef burger was made by Shinji alone, and Rei only ate the vegetable salad and fries.

After about five minutes, Shinji cleaned up all the food in front of him, leaving only the colorful fruit drink in front of the two of them. The two of them who only had drinks left were naturally not in a hurry, after all, they didn't have work in the afternoon, and they didn't have to go to school, so Shinji sat opposite Rei, and the two of them chatted happily.

"By the way, Shinji, you haven't told me about Tanabata yet." In the middle of the conversation, Rei suddenly remembered the story that Shinji had just been interrupted.

"Ahh By the way, I was just interrupted by Carly before I could finish speaking. Shinji took two sips of the drink through a straw, then straightened his sitting posture and began to tell the story of the Cowherd and the Weaver Girl.

"There was such a beautiful legend in HX, the legend is that a person called the Cowherd fell in love with a fairy called the Weaver Girl in the heavenly realm, but people and fairies cannot love each other, so an old cow raised by the Cowherd taught the Cowherd a method, that is, the old cow himself stole the clothes of the Weaver Girl while the fairies were bathing in the Milky Way, and at that time the Cowherd had a chance to keep the Weaver Girl and marry her as a wife. The Cowherd listened to Lao Niu's words and did so, and he really succeeded in persuading the Weaver Girl to be his wife, and after marriage, the two loved each other, lived very happily, and gave birth to a son and a daughter. But ......"

Shinji was telling Rei the story with great interest. was interrupted by a scream at the door.

"Hey!! Why are the second generation and honor students here?! At the door, Asuka was holding Ryoji's arm with one hand and pointing at Shinji with the other, shouting.

"Ahh Ying suffocation?! Beihuai Worm Box is secretly annoyed? Chewing and tearing beetles? Enthalpy suffocation cricket reef stinging sting! Ao Xi and frightened to make up the lonely and handsome? p > "Ah, I heard that there is a new couple package here, and Asuka shouted that she wanted to try it, why, Shinji-kun, are you also here?" ”

"No, we just heard that the food here is delicious, so we came to eat and see, and we didn't expect such an event here." Shinji laughed.

"Huh? So, Shinji-kun, you also participated in this event? I heard that the first place can be freed. The blessing winked at Shinji, which made Shinji a little embarrassed.

"Huh? So you and the second generation of the right are a couple? Hey, is it more eye-catching than a photo of any of us? Asuka said to Rei with a hint of gossip. However, Rei just looked at Asuka quietly and didn't say anything.

"Hmph, what's the spirit!" Asuka saw that Rei was a little ignorant of herself, so she said angrily. "No matter how you take it, it won't look better than the photos of me and my blessed seniors!" Saying that, Asuka pulled the blessing Ryoji and sat by the window on the other side of the restaurant.

"Leigh, you don't like it? Drugs are confused, handsome, stupid, vinegar, prostitutes, and beyond? 嫠美?? Nai Shou screwed 6?flounder canghuang Qiao Kongmei ⊥ Fang Yu stealing feed! Eight?? Karma mother core bird? Like the staff at ERV, she didn't like me, and I didn't like the way she looked at me. But we still have to get along. ”

"Well, maybe it's just that we and she just met, and we don't know each other well enough, hehe, maybe you'll become good friends in the future." Shinji smiled, then turned his head to look at Asuka on the other side. At this time, Asuka was chatting with Kazuki with a smile. But Shinji could clearly see that Asuka's eyes were still occasionally looking to his side.

Shrugging his shoulders slightly, Shinji smiled at Rei. "So, after eating, let's go to the mall, by the way, pick out a few clothes you like, it's been a while since you moved here, and I haven't seen you wear the few clothes I bought for you, don't you like it?"

"No, I like it very much, but I've been going to school all the time, and I'm going to NERV after school to do real yàn, so I haven't had time to wear it out." Li shook her head and said with some regret. It's also true,Ever since Rei moved in,,Almost every day has been scheduled.,Shinji except for occasionally wearing his own clothes.,Almost every day from Monday to weekend wears school uniform.。

"Hehe, that's what I said, huh...... Anyway, let's go around, and during the rare half-day vacation, let's take off this school uniform and change into the clothes you like. With that, Shinji beckoned to the waiter and motioned for himself to pay.

"Mr. Ikati, Miss Ayana, are you done with your meal?"

"Well, yes Carly, thank you for the introduction, we were very happy with this meal." Shinji smiled slightly. "We're leaving, please check out for us if you can."

"Hehe, Mr. Ikati, the photos of the two have been handed over to the store manager, and after the evaluation of the four store managers, the photos of the two have been hung in the center of our love wall, which is the first place, so this meal is free." Carly smiled sweetly.

"Hehe, we're really lucky. But, Carly, I'd like to ask you to do me a favor if you can put our picture in third place? ”

"Huh? Why? Carly was asked by Shinji's words, and subconsciously said this.

"Hehe, I'm sorry, there are some things we can't explain." Shinji looked at Carly apologetically, and then subconsciously glanced at Asuka's position, and this qiē all fell into Rei's eyes.

"Hmm. I see, but please forgive Mr. Ikari for not agreeing to your request, and if we change the order at will and put your photo in the third place, then the first and second place photos will not be as strong as your photos, and it will cause trouble for our store. Carly said with some embarrassment.

"Is that so? Hehe, I'm sorry Carly, I was abrupt, so I'll do what you ask. Shinji said helplessly.

"I'm very sorry Mr. Ikari, if there is nothing else I will step back first, thank you for this meal, and welcome you two to come next time." After saying that, Carly bowed slightly to Shinji and left.

"Shinji, why did you put the photo in third place?" As soon as Carly left, Leigh asked. "Is it because of the second qualifier?"

"Hehe, I really can't escape your powerful perception. Rei" Shinji smiled helplessly when he saw Rei's questioning look. "yes, if she were to see our picture in the first place, her strong self-esteem would definitely take a hit."

"Shinji...... You...... Like the second qualifier? The expression on Leigh's face drifted into a hint of concern.

"Hehe, what do you say......" Shinji put his finger on his temple and looked at Asuka's position again. My opinion of her is not so much liking as ...... It's nostalgia......"

Rei looked into Shinji's eyes, and from the way he looked at Asuka, Rei read the same feeling as Ikari Gentoto, that is, from Asuka's body, the feeling of finding the shadow of another person, a feeling of nostalgia and sadness, just like the expression of Commander Ikari when he looked at him. But the difference is that Shinji's eyes also reveal a kind of nostalgia for Asuka herself, and this nostalgia makes Shinji and Ikari Gendu very different, and this nostalgia makes Rei feel that her heart suddenly has a sour feeling. For the first time, she felt a sour sensation in her chest, and before that, every time she was with Shinji, her heart was full of warmth.

"Forget it, let's not talk about this, Leigh, go and hang your wish." Shinji eased from his memories and smiled at Rei Sunshine.

"Huh? Well. Shinji's words also made Rei temporarily come out of that sour feeling. After thinking about it, Rei picked up the pen that had been preparing there from the side of the table and wrote her wish on a heart-shaped stick. Then I went to the wall of love and hung the sticks on the bamboo tree. Shinji followed Rei over, and after Rei made up his wish, Shinji looked at it intently. On the small sign, a neat line of words was written.

[I hope that kind of warmth can last forever.] Rei Ayana]

looked at Rei's wishes, and then at Rei's somewhat sad appearance now. Shinji smiled softly. Is this girl jealous?

When Rei was stunned, Shinji gently grabbed Rei's thin waist from behind, leaned his head on Rei's shoulder, and said softly. "Li, you have to remember, as long as I'm alive, the kind of warmth you hope for will be able to last forever. I swear that as long as I live, I will always guard your warmth, which is my lifelong commitment to you. ”

In the face of Shinji's sudden intimate action, Li's delicate body trembled slightly, and after hearing Shinji's words, Li's white face immediately turned red, and the sourness in her heart just now disappeared in an instant.

"Okay, it's a rare afternoon, let's go to the mall and buy a few beautiful clothes for you." After a long time, Shinji felt that the person in his arms was not confused, and gently hugged Li's delicate body and then said with a smile.

"Well, but, Shinji only told half of the story of Tanabata, right? Aren't you going to finish it before leaving? Rei had already recovered from the episode just now, and asked with a hint of blush on her face.

"Well, it's really half, but I'll tell you in the evening, the sun is very strong today, and it should be a clear starry sky at night, and then I'll tell you this story when I look at the starry sky at night, it's a very romantic thing." Shinji winked at Rei and smiled.

"Hmm~" Rei smiled softly and nodded, and then let Shinji hold his hand, and the two walked out of the restaurant side by side-

a.t.field――

"It looks like the two of them have a good relationship." In the restaurant, the blessing hand held his chin, lazily sucked the drink in the cup, and looked at the teenagers and girls walking side by side outside the restaurant, with a gratifying smile in his eyes that only elders would have.

"Hmph, it must be because I'm too eye-catching here with my blessed seniors, and they won't leave until they can't stand it." On the opposite side of the blessing, Asuka squinted at the half-moon and said hatefully. "And for me. There is no couple who can compare to my predecessors, right~" Asuka smiled sweetly at the blessing as if her face had changed. In this regard, the blessing only smiled and said nothing, silently changing the topic, "Hehe, hurry up and eat Asuka, and then I will take you to your new residence." ”

"Hey? Didn't I choose where to live? I still want to live with you. Asuka said with a disappointed expression.

"Well...... Anyway, it will be a little inconvenient for Hika and I to live alone, and I will be very busy when I get here, and I may have little time to take care of you, so I plan to find you a new place to live. Blessing smiled faintly at Asuka.

"Ah...... How so? Asuka looked a little disappointed. All right. I see, let's go. Asuka put down her drink and smiled sweetly at the blessing. Seeing that Asuka had already finished her lunch, Blessing reached out and called the waiter. The person who came was still Carly.

"You two, is the meal over?" Carly asked with a smile.

"Well, it's already eaten, thank you Carly, please help us pay for it."

"Yes Mr. Blessing, it's 1,314 yen in total, and it's 130 yen after you get a discount, thank you for your patronage."

"Wait a minute!" Asuka suddenly interrupted the bless as she took out her purse and asked Carly. "I remember that the person who got the first place in the photo was exempt, right? You just said the price, don't you say that our photo is not number one? ”

"Yes, ? Picture reflection suffocation? Annoyed palm? What is the difference? What about scaring and talking? Round stealing lots?? 蛄船桓鲆胏? Stepping on the チ wanton punishment? 30 yen. ”

"What?! How can it be! How could anyone be better than me and the blessed seniors? Who are they! Asuka was visibly struck by Carly's words. And Carly was also taken aback by Asuka's reaction. Subconsciously pointed to the seat where Shinji was sitting just now.

"That's it...... It was the two guests who had just sat here who won the first place. Asuka looked down at Carly's hand, and what she saw was the seat of the two who had just left.

"The second generation of Kwon and the honor student!? That's impossible! Asuka quickly ran towards the love wall in the store, in the center of the wall, she found a photo of herself and the blessing, that is the appearance of two people biting a heart-shaped hamburger at the same time, Asuka bit off the left half, blessing bites off the right half, Asuka at that time is still holding the arm of the blessing, with a sweet smile on her face, if Shinji is here, he can see some clues from the photo at a glance, because in the photo, the blessing smile is obviously a little reluctant, and there is some helplessness, although it is covered, But if you look closely, you can still see that it is unnatural. And except for the first bite of the burger for taking pictures, the rest was blessed. Of course, that's an afterthought.

Looking at her photo on the wall, Asuka is still very satisfied, but it is in the upper left corner of her photo, which is also in the center of the wall. The handsome face of the black-haired boy and the happy smile of the blue-haired girl were so eye-catching, even she was deeply moved at first glance, and even her proud heart sprouted a trace of envy and unwillingness at this time.

"Ahra, it looks like the photos they took are really good, we didn't lose unjustly, Asuka." After the blessing was posted, he also walked to the wall of love, looking at the photo of Shinji and Rei in the first place, and the blessing smiled faintly.

At this time, Asuka was not in a good mood, and the orange broken hair on her forehead blocked her beautiful face, making it impossible to see her expression, but from the girl's clenched and trembling hands, you can see how unwilling Asuka is at this moment.

"Okay, Asuka, it's just a little game, go hang up your wishes, we're leaving."

"No need! Let's go! Asuka turned and walked towards the door, and beside her, a small heart-shaped piece of paper slowly fell to the ground.

Blessing watched the angry Asuka leave, sighed slightly, and picked up the piece of paper on the ground. Look at the text written on it. The blessed eyebrows raised slightly, and then quietly put the card in his pocket.

Because Asuka was in a bad mood at the moment, the blessing didn't touch the moldy head, and took Asuka to the car, but just as it was about to start, Asuka spoke.

"Now, bless senior, I haven't found a place to live yet, right?" The broken hair in front of Asuka's forehead still obscured her peerless appearance.

"Well, indeed, we're going to look for your new place now, what's the matter, have you already chosen your own place to live?" Blessing looked at Asuka and then asked with an enlightened look.

"That's right, I made the choice." Asuka looked up, a sparkle in her eyes. "I'm going to move in with the second generation of Kwon."

"That's good, but why did you choose there?" Blessing asked lightly.

"The purpose is twofold, one is that I want to get back the face they made me lose face in the restaurant, and the other is that I want to know more about that idiot. And then surpass him in every way! ”

"Hehe, what a proud little girl, her self-esteem and self-confidence can't be trampled on by others." The blessed heart thought helplessly. "But that's why Asuka is Asuka." ――

a.t.field――

Shinji and the others who came out of the restaurant came to a shopping mall in the city, which was the large mall that Shinji once went to with Misato. In the mall, Shinji took Rei to the clothing store for the first time, and selected a few beautiful clothes according to Rei's body shape and temperament. Under the leadership of the waiter, Liz changed her clothes one by one. Every time the curtain of the fitting room is opened, a different style of Rei Ayanami will appear in front of Shinji's eyes, which can be said to be a feast for the eyes.

After a few hours of screening, in the end, Shinji picked out a cool square-neck dress for Li, the white skirt was decorated with a long cyan ribbon on the chest, the soft collar design made Li's white arms and jade neck fall in Shinji's eyes at the same time, the waist is a corset design, which looks generous, with a pair of beige high-heeled sandals that Shinji chose for her, Li's whole person looks like a small jasper, very gentle. Similarly, Rei also picked out a dress for Shinji, a white round-necked sleeveless tight T-shirt with a long-sleeved light blue shirt on the outside, the top three buttons of the shirt were unbuttoned, and the tight T-shirt inside was supported by Shinji's strong muscles. With a pair of beige casual pants and a pair of dark brown sneakers, the whole outfit makes Shinji's handsome face a little more sunny and handsome. If a more careful person looks at the two people, they will find a light blue crystal necklace hanging around their necks. No matter from that point of view, the two of them are dressed so perfectly, which also envies a lot of young boys and girls along the way.

"Shinji, let's go back." After an afternoon of strolling, Rei whispered to Shinji.

"Huh? Tired of shopping? Shinji was carrying a couple of bags of school uniforms that he had changed into in addition to the one he had just bought.

"No, I just feel a little uncomfortable that everyone here is watching us from the beginning." Rei frowned slightly.

"Hehe, that's because Li, you have become more beautiful and attractive after wearing this dress. However, since Lido said so, let's go back, it's not too early. Shinji grinned. And Rei's cheeks couldn't help but blush when she heard Shinji's words. Then he followed Shinji and continued to walk outside the mall. Out of the mall, the two came to the garage, Shinji started the car, in fact, Shinji has always been driving without a license, but some police officers on the street saw Shinji driving such a good car, so sometimes they don't bother to care, as long as there is no traffic accident, Shinji is not a problem racing on the street, and the identity of the car representative is the best pass.

Unhindered all the way, Shinji drove home and walked upstairs with Rei with a large bag.

"Huh?" Shinji was slightly surprised as he looked at the changes in his hallway.

"How?" Rei asked when she saw Shinji's expression change slightly

"Now, Leigh, have you noticed that there are suddenly a lot more cardboard boxes in the hallway near our house?"

"Huh?" Li looked around, and indeed, the original empty corridor was now piled up with a lot of boxes, and even in the corridor. "Is it because someone is moving? Recently, because of the apostles, it seems that many people have moved away, and even the school has a lot fewer classmates. Leigh said softly.

"Ah, it turns out that Li, you've been paying attention to every move around you." Shinji was a little surprised by Rei's words, and Rei in the past didn't care about anything other than battle orders.

And Shinji also understood what Rei meant, and said with a smile. "What can't I say, you're already my girlfriend. Didn't you admit it at the restaurant just now? Hearing Shinji's words, Rei's cheeks turned even redder.
