Li Xiao then searched for the pile of books without giving up, and said that the books Li read would not all be so strange, and finally turned out a few books that were quite normal, which was considered a consolation prize for Li Xiao.

Li Xiao was surprised to find that Li's reading is really eclectic, and she can find almost any type of book here, including "High-yield Sow Breeding Experience", an agricultural masterpiece that Li Xiao doesn't know how to evaluate, as well as "A Brief History of Time" and "Outline of the Encyclopedia of Philosophy and Science", which are famous works like "Li Xiao knows every word in the book, but when they are connected together, they don't know what they are talking about". Li Xiao guessed that maybe Li didn't have any direction at all when she picked up the book, she just wanted to read the book, and it didn't seem to matter at all what book she read.

Li Xiao felt that this should be a special way for Li to express her existence in the world, she wanted to understand the world, but she had no other way but to clumsily look for those rigid knowledge from books.

Li Xiao has his own family and friends, and he can't fully understand Li's thinking, and the above thoughts are just his own personal speculation. However, whenever he thinks of Li, Li Xiao always can't help but empathize: If he were Li, how would he see the world? A person who has no family, no friends, and even should not have been born in this world is born in this world, what a painful and sad experience it is, even if it is just one ten-thousandth of this experience, Li Xiao feels as if his heart is about to be torn apart.

After spending some time at Rei's house, Rei returns.

When I walked into my house, I found that there were three boys in the house inexplicably, but there was not much surprise on Li's face, she just walked into the house quietly, and after Toji said "I'm sorry", she asked slowly: "What's the matter?" ”

Toji pointed to the handouts on Li's bed: "That's the accumulated handouts, and the teacher asked me to send them." ”

Leigh looked at the thick pile of handouts on her bed, her face expressionless.

At this point, Shinji spoke.

"I'm sorry." Shinji picked up the garbage bag full of garbage and said with a smile. "I cleaned it up and didn't touch anything but the garbage."

Li's expression finally changed, she was slightly surprised, and her white cheeks were dyed with a faint pink: "Thank you, thank you." ”

Shinji smiled, "You're welcome. ”

Then, Li finally noticed Li Xiao in the room. When Li Xiao saw Li coming over, he immediately keenly noticed that Li's gaze stayed on him for a while, and then fell on Commander Ikaru's glasses.

Li Xiao knew that these glasses were very important to Li, and quickly explained: "I didn't touch it, but I flipped through your book without permission." I said Li, your interests are so wide-ranging, I can't help it...... Taken aback, hehe......" Li Xiao picked up the "Russian 502 Excavator Repair Guide", with an expression of "I'm about to say that you got the wrong book".

But Li Xiao was disappointed, and Li nodded very calmly: "That book is very interesting, do you want to read it?" ”

Li Xiao looked desperate: Where is the excavator repair guide interesting! What's more, compared to the research on excavators, Li Xiao doesn't believe that there is anyone or organization in this world that is my opponent of Da Lanxiang.

After Rei finished speaking, she suddenly noticed the lilies on the cabinet. The two lilies bloomed there quietly, the white spotless petals looked out of place in this dirty and messy room, Li Xiao put it on Li's cabinet, like a little fluorescence in the dark, it was difficult not to find it.

"That's ...... Flower? Li showed an expression of surprise, she walked to Li Xiao's side, and looked at the two small lilies in a daze, with feelings that Li Xiao couldn't understand in her eyes.

"What kind of flower is this?" Leigh asked, her eyes still not taking her eyes off the white stamens of the lily.

"Lily, it's beautiful." Li Xiao said.

Leigh nodded, and she reached out and gently stroked the lily's crescent-like petals, as if she was afraid of hurting it.

Li Xiao quietly observed Li's actions beside him, and then said, "This is a gift for you." ”

"Gifts?" Li raised her head in surprise and looked at Li Xiao, as if she couldn't believe it, and asked again. "For me?"

"That's right."

"Why?"

The standard routine of the Ayanami style, Li Xiao had already guessed it. He grinned brightly, revealing a neat row of white teeth: "Actually, there is no special reason, it can be regarded as a whim." I think Lily is a lot like you, huh...... Spotlessly clean and immaculate. ”

Getting Li Xiao's answer, Li looked at Li Xiao blankly, and the whole person was stunned. After a long while, her indifferent expression finally had a "change", and she whispered softly, "Thank you, I will take good care of it." ”

This time it was Li Xiao's turn to be stunned, he couldn't believe his eyes, in the moment just now, maybe only a tenth of a second, Li actually smiled!

It was a smile that was so subtle that it was almost imperceptible, if it weren't for the fact that Li Xiao and Li were so close, Li Xiao wouldn't even be able to see such a subtle change in expression. When Li Xiao came to his senses, he still wanted to capture Li's facial expression to confirm whether it was his hallucination just now, but Keli had already lowered her head and reimmersed herself in the fragrance of lilies, and the expression on her face changed back to her usual "bitter hatred and deep hatred".

After that, during the time at Li's house, Li Xiao's whole person entered the "standby state", and his mind was full of one sentence: Li smiled at me, Li smiled at me, Li smiled at me...... Until he left Li's house, returned to Miri's house, and even had dinner, Li Xiao's head was still scrolling with the sentence "Li's smile at me".

Both Shinji and Misato noticed that Li Xiao had become a little abnormal after returning from the Li family, and Misato asked Shinji what was going on, and Shinji couldn't answer why. Rei's smile was so secret that Shinji and Toji didn't even notice it. In the end, Asuka really couldn't watch it, and slapped Li Xiao on the dinner table, "Give me a good meal when you eat!" "I finally photographed Li Xiao back.

……………………

"Dr. Akagi, I'm taking my leave." In front of Ritsuko Akagi's office, Rei bowed her head slightly to say goodbye, and then with a snort, the automatic door closed.

Ritsuko looked at the closed door, the expression on her face thoughtful.

As soon as Rei walked on the front foot, Misato came on the back foot.

Handing over a stack of documents to Ritsuko, Misato suddenly asked, "It's Rei who came out of you just now." ”

Ritsuko nodded: "That kid has changed a lot recently, do you know what she's doing here with me?" It was unbelievable that she asked me how to grow lilies. ”

"Lilies?" Misato leaned against Ritsuko's desk and suddenly remembered. "Oh, I remember, it was given to her by Xiao."

"Akatsuki gave it to Rei?" Ritsuko was slightly taken aback. "Since that kid came, both Shinji and Rei have changed a lot."

"yes, it's very interesting to say, lately Akatsuki has been encouraging Shinji to call Commander Ikati, and he seems to be consciously bringing Shinji closer to Commander Ikati. Akatsuki is such an incredibly good boy, compared to Shinji and Asuka, Akatsuki is the most worry-free. Misato sighed softly like an old mother.

"You're getting more and more mother-in-law now." Ritsuko teased with a smile.

Misato squeezed a grimace at her: "I want you to take care of it." ”

While the two were talking, a rapid and piercing alarm suddenly sounded in the office, and Misato and Ritsuko looked at each other, and the two of them said in unison, "Apostle! ”
