Chapter Twenty-Six: Each Other's Hearts

Shinji came out of the room, gulping in on the air, trying to press down on the blood he poured into his brain. It took a long time for the flush on his face to fade. I breathed a sigh of relief, thinking back to the seemingly fragrant scene just now.

Her white skin shines like milk in the sun, with a baby-like glow. The fair-skinned and crystalline earlobes are red in the light, and the delicate fluff is clearly visible, which makes people can't help but want to take it in their mouths and savor it*. Rei's face was very white, and her body was even fairer, and with Shinji's eyesight, she dared to assert that there was not a single black mole on Li's upper body just by a glance in a hurry, and that kind of white skin was as pure as mutton fat and white jade without a trace of filth. The two little jade rabbits clearly saw small cyan nerves. The whole body looks so flawless. As soon as he thought of this, another layer of heat rose in Shinji's lower abdomen. Hurriedly shook his head, and secretly scolded himself.

It didn't take long for the door behind Shinji to open. A shadow walked out. It's still the same school uniform, the difference is that the people wearing the school uniforms have a little red cheeks at this time, and they look very cute. Seeing Rei's appearance, Shinji's face also showed a hint of redness, and he didn't say much. Take Rei and walk in the direction of her car. Nothing to say all the way. Shinji stared straight ahead, while Rei looked out the window with her hands on her cheeks. The two people in the car looked a little embarrassed. Shinji also felt that something should be said to break this embarrassing situation.

"The ......"

"The ......"

As if they had discussed, the two of them spoke at the same time with a tacit understanding. Leigh's face flushed again, for as long as she could remember, she had blushed more today than she had done on so many days combined. Shinji smiled lightly, "What's wrong, Li?" ”

"Shinji-kun, thank you for the gift, I like it very much." Rei said softly, a shy expression on her face.

Actually, Shinji was about to talk about the same topic just now, "Ah...... Ha ha. No thanks, I wanted to ask you just now, because I've never bought a gift for someone else, so I'm afraid you won't like it. But now I'm relieved. Ha ha. Shinji smiled happily when he saw Rei's seductive appearance.

"Where's the name?"

"Huh?"

"Doesn't it have a name?" Leigh asked softly.

"Name......" Shinji was a little worried, do you still have to have a name to buy a gift for others?

"I haven't given it a name yet." Shinji said to Rei with some embarrassment.

"Is that so......" Although there was no expression on Rei's face, Shinji knew that the girl must have felt a little lost at this time. Of course. Shinji wouldn't allow Rei to be unhappy. I think back to the conversation I had with Leigh. As soon as his eyes rolled, he smiled anew.

"It's okay Li, you can name it now if you want." Shinji said to Rei with a smile.

"But I'm not good at that." Liz is a little embarrassed, but it's also true, the environment where Li's residence is already like that, it can be seen how much the guardian doesn't care about Li's life, and how can he teach him too many things, all of Li's knowledge is those dead things in books, so Li's love to read books, she hopes to get more understanding of the world from books.

Shinji seemed to expect Rei to say this, and said with a sunny smile, "If you don't mind, you can call it 'Mirai'." ”

"Future?"

"Well, Miku Ayanami can be called something else if you don't like it. ”

"No need, it's a nice name, I like it very much, thank you Shinji-kun. Future. Future ......" Rei closed her eyes and smiled like she could melt the iceberg, and kept chanting the name of the future.

Seeing Rei's expression, Shinji also smiled happily. The speed of the car under his feet also increased again with Shinji's mood. As if feeling the mood of the owner, the engine drove in the direction of the nerv with a burst of joyful resonance. The red taillights once again drew a brilliant arc in the air.

a.tfield――

"Li, you're going to do that startup again today, right?" Shinji, who had entered the nerv, sat on the extra-long roller ladder with his elbows on his knees, and sat with his hands on his cheeks with an unscrupulous expression, while Rei stood quietly next to him. Feeling that the atmosphere was a little awkward, Shinji found a topic and started chatting with Rei.

"Yes." Rei replied simply.

"Can you recall the accident that happened last time?" Shinji is somewhat worried, and has failed to start twice in a row. He didn't want Leigh to get hurt again.

"Well, I just know that my heart was very chaotic before, and my mind was a little difficult to control, and when the zero machine started, the uncomfortable feeling became more and more intense. After feeling a tingling in my head, I didn't know anything, and when I regained consciousness, the plug had popped out. Leigh thought for a moment and said softly.

"Well, how do you feel now?" Shinji has a headache, and if it's a problem with the nerve connection, then he can't help himself, so he can only ask Rei.

"Well, no problem. Now my heart is very warm. Leigh folded her hands over her chest and replied with a smile.

Seeing Rei's happy expression, the corners of Shinji's mouth also raised a smile. Then he muttered in a low voice. "This dad really likes child abuse."

Although the voice was low, it still made Rei hear. With a look of doubt, Rei turned back to Shinji and asked. "Why does Shinji-kun say that, don't you trust your father's work?"

"Well. In fact, there is no such thing as trusting or distrusting. Shinji shrugged his shoulders and leaned his head on the steps of the higher staircase, looking at the rolling ceiling with a hint of reminiscence. Since my mother left when I was three years old, he was like a different person, he never took care of me anymore, and I lived with my teacher. So I don't know anything about his work. There is no such thing as trust or distrust. But he was my dad after all, so I didn't say anything when he called me to come to nerv, and just came. Actually, I also wanted to find out what my dad came to NERV for, and how he became the commander. There are too many doubts. Shinji's expression was a little solemn, and he remembered the questions he had once had. However, he soon relaxed, because he knew that when all the apostles were eliminated, the truth would naturally come out. "Then again, Leigh, you seem to admire my dad." Shinji remembered the scene where Rei had a conversation with her father. I couldn't help but raise the question that I had been hiding for a long time.

"Commander Ikari is the only person outside of Shinji-kun who has ever cared about me. Although only once. There was a little darkness and a slight loss in Li's eyes. Shinji's heart trembled. After a long time, he stood up and reached out to hold Li's slender and somewhat cold little hand.

Feeling her hand wrapped in warmth, Rei reflexively turned her head to meet Shinji's sunny smile. Li's brows spread out and a little smile hung on her bright face. didn't resist, let Shinji hold his hand, and it was still so warm.

Neither spoke. However, each other's hearts have been conveyed to each other's hearts.

After that, Li's relationship with the real yàn has entered the cockpit. And Shinji watched from the command platform with Ritsuko, his father, and Deputy Commander Fuyutsuki.

"Leigh. Do you hear that? "The one who spoke was Gento Ikari who was watching from the main control room.

"Yes." Rei, who had changed into a combat uniform, was already sitting on the EVA Zero machine, ready to start the real Yàn again.

"Now let's start the restart of machine zero. Start the first connection. With Ikari Gento's cold voice. The start of the real yàn started again.

"Dr. Ritsuko, do you know who Leigh's guardian is?" Shinji, who was also in the main control room, crossed his hands behind his head and looked relaxed, judging from Rei's reaction just now, he believed that this time he would definitely succeed. So I started asking questions that didn't matter to the real yàn.

"Well, you know, Leigh's guardian is your father." Ritsuko stared intently at the number on the screen and opened her mouth to answer Shinji's question.

"Nani?!" Shinji's voice of surprise spread throughout the control room. Everyone stopped what they were doing and looked at him, and even Li, who was sitting in machine zero, heard his voice.

"Keep experimenting." Ikari Gendu ordered in a cold voice. Then he walked over to Shinji, "Do you have any comments?" ”

"Of course there are opinions!" Shinji's voice did not diminish because of the coercion of Ikari Gento. "Please, did you play the role of a guardian?" Despite the order, everyone stopped and looked at the father and son. They had never seen anyone dare to yell at the commander like this. Even Ritsuko, who was meticulous about her work, stopped and turned her gaze to them.

"I said to continue experimenting." Yuandu's voice was even colder, "I'll talk about something when it's over." Then he returned to the window. Shinji didn't say anything, just staring at Machine Zero outside the window.

"Mains power connection." As soon as Qiē gets back on track, Ritsuko starts issuing orders from scratch.

"The LCL solution is electrified, and the operating voltage breaks through the critical point." The preliminary test went smoothly, and the first phase ended without any anomalies.

"The second phase began. The zero machine is connected to the driver's nerves. There are no abnormalities, all nerves are connected, and there is no problem with synchronization. There is no abnormality in the central nervous system. Error correction. Aoba meticulously reported on the experiment.

"Checked to 2590 items pass guò. There are still 0.5, 0.3 from the absolute spiritual boundary line, breakthrough! Machine Zero is activated. With Ibuki's sweet voice, everyone in the main control room breathed a sigh of relief.

"Understood. Then enter the linkage test. It was Li, who was sitting in machine zero, who was talking about it, and when she saw that her machine zero was successfully activated, her nervous mood just now relaxed. Then he took the initiative to ask to continue the experiment.

"Continuing with the topic just now, what do you want to say?" Seeing that the test was no longer a problem, Wataru Ikari asked Shinji about the unfinished question.

Shinji also saw that the most difficult stage of Shi Yàn had broken through, and his nervous feelings also relaxed, and he began to discuss with his father about the guardian of Rei.

"I just want to ask if you have taken good care of Li, let Lili live in such a bad environment, have you ever been to the place where Lili lives? The only difference between it and the emergency room of the hospital is that there is no smell of disinfectant water. The so-called guardian is not only to monitor, but also to protect and take care of it. You're so unqualified as a guardian. Shinji paid no attention to the surprised or adoring eyes around him who looked at him. Continue to say your thoughts. "And there's another thing I can't understand, as drivers, why don't we have half a dime paid? You're my dad, and it's okay if I don't get paid. But what about Leigh? Did you really pay her a salary? If so, why is the environment in which Lily lives so bad? If it is not sent. So may I ask Commander Akira, have you embezzled all our salaries? ”

Quiescence! Absolute silence! A room full of staff were shocked by Shinji's words. Those eyes that were surprised, surprised, and even adoring, all looked incredulous at the moment, and even Rei, who was sitting in machine zero, showed an incredible expression, and machine zero, which was being linked, stood there motionless.

Didi ...... Didi ......

A shrill phone ringing broke the silence of the room. Dongyue on the side hurriedly grabbed the phone to respond, obviously he was very grateful for the call, otherwise he didn't know how to end the embarrassing situation.

Hanging up the phone, Dongyue's face was a little solemn and said to Yuandu Ikaru. "Ikati, there's a UFO approaching, I'm afraid it's the Fifth Apostle."

"I see." Yuandu didn't look back, still looking at his son, who was almost as tall as himself. A cold smile crossed his lips. "Shinji, it seems that you care about Rei's life. Well, let's make a pact, if you can bring down this apostle, I'll give you custody of Leigh. If you fail, then there is no agreement left. What do you think? ”

Shinji raised his eyebrows and said coldly, "I don't care, it's just, have you taken into account Rei's feelings?" She's not your puppet. What right do you have to do this to her? Li Wenyan's delicate body trembled slightly. Restored his once cold countenance. "If it's Commander Ikati's order, I'll do it."

"Okay, then it's decided, now Shinji, pilot the first machine and prepare to attack." Ikari Yuan Dutou didn't turn around and walked to the elevator, towards the war room.

After Ikari Gendu left, Shinji glanced in the direction of Unit Zero, although he couldn't see Rei's expression, but judging from the way Machine Zero bowed his head slightly, Li's heart at this moment had a slight fluctuation again, is it a good aspect? Or is it ......
