EVA: Shinji Ikari Returns from the Dragon Clan

Chapter 190 188. Wonderful Night (Part )

If she pours it directly into her mouth, won’t Asuka choke to death?
He thought worriedly.

But the situation was urgent. The girl's face was pale, and she looked unhealthy as if she hadn't eaten for several days. If she delayed any longer, she might faint from hunger. In that case, she would have to go to the hospital to get glucose. Ikari Shinji put the porridge next to Asuka's mouth for a long time, and finally saw the girl's pale lips move. This was the body's instinct to eat.

"Have something to eat," he said.

The girl's eyes moved slightly, but she still kept her lips tightly closed, as if she was trying to fight against this instinct. Once she got stubborn, no one could persuade her. She still stared at the ceiling blankly, and somehow, a fire started rising in Shinji Ikari's heart, so he got angry... got angry for a while, then stood up and used his face to cover her gaze at the ceiling.

"Don't want to eat?"

"..."

Ikari Shinji stared at her.

She didn't say anything, and neither did he, as if they were going to stare at each other like this until the end of time. But Ikari Shinji quickly raised the white flag and surrendered, because he would be fine if the stalemate continued, but Asuka might not be. He reached out and tried to pry open her lips.

Asuka struggled with little strength.

After all, she had been hungry for so long that she didn't have the strength to resist his actions. The girl's lips opened slightly, and when she wanted to close them, he held them with his fingers. Ikari Shinji poured a few spoonfuls of porridge into her, but Asuka didn't make any swallowing movement. So even if he poured more, the porridge would just flow out from her mouth.

You are on a hunger strike, Asuka...

It would be nice if I had a feeding tube.

You have to eat even if you don't want to. Ikari Shinji secretly imagined that scene in his heart, but he didn't have such a thing at hand now, and the problem of Asuka's hunger strike still had to be solved. He suddenly missed the Asuka in the past. That young lady should have been burning like a flame, not like now, staying in her own small stove, and even the heat in her heart couldn't light a candle.

...It seems there is only one way.

He lowered his eyes and thought silently.

A few minutes later.

Watching Asuka's throat swallowing with difficulty.

Shinji Ikari always felt like a novice bird mother, chirping and feeding a child who didn't want to eat, well, a child named Asuka. He quickly fed two bowls of porridge and then wiped his lips. This seemed like a crime, or cheating. But the two had kissed before, and even his first kiss was taken away by Asuka. Now he was just kissing her back.

But this is still unfair to Ayanami.

Shinji Ikari knew this clearly, or rather, after seeing Asuka, he did not choose to tell Asuka about Unit 2 and leave immediately, but instead took care of her, which meant that he was already sorry to Ayanami.

"For you, I..."

He thought silently.

Then Shinji Ikari realized that he was not Asuka's parent. The adults who were busy with work always kept saying "For you, I..." and taught their children to be obedient. Was he also hoping that Asuka would be obedient? Eat well, listen to him about Unit 2, go back to drive, and be her eldest daughter, instead of looking so worrying now.

Asuka was clearly conscious and knew that the person next to her was him, but she just refused to speak.

Shinji Ikari washed the dishes and returned to the living room.

He turned on the TV.

There were many discs left by kind people beside the TV, but there were no pictures or words on them, so he didn't know what movies were on them. Shinji Ikari had no interest in watching movies, so he just turned on a random show and watched it. Suddenly, the living room was filled with noisy programs, and the funny comedies of the actors brought laughter from the audience from time to time. His attention was not on the TV program, he just did this to make the living room look more lively.

Asuka was still lying on the sofa as usual.

Shinji Ikari thought about it, grabbed her two slender fingers in his palm, and continued watching TV.

If Asuka recovered, he should be able to react immediately.

The night is getting darker.

It's time to sleep.

The sofa is not a place to sleep, so after turning off the TV, Ikari Shinji made the bed, carried Asuka to the master bedroom, and covered the girl, who still had her eyes open and looked like a ghost in a horror movie, with a blanket. He yawned and wanted to go to the next room to sleep, but Asuka's hand held him tightly without him knowing when.

It's like grabbing a life-saving straw.

"Asuka?"

no respond.

Shinji Ikari sighed helplessly.
When this guy recovers, I will make fun of her.

Are you some little brat who needs your mother to hold you while you sleep at night? No, he is not a real bird mother, at least he is an eagle father.

Shinji Ikari didn't let go of her hand either.

He had slept with Asuka in his apartment a long time ago. If it was the first time, he might not be able to get over it, but this was the second time, wasn't it? Besides, he had slept with a girl every night before, and this time it was just a different girl... The more he thought about it, the more he felt like he was cheating on her. He exhaled, temporarily suppressed the feeling of cheating, and then got on the bed.

As soon as Shinji Ikari lay down on the bed, the girl's soft body immediately hugged him tightly like an octopus.

"…Asuka?"

He asked in a low voice,

As expected, there was still no response. Did she wake up? Ikari Shinji stopped asking this question that would definitely have no answer. He stared at the ceiling in the dark for a long time, and after thinking about it, he took off his contact lenses. Sleeping with these things on made him feel uncomfortable even though he was a mixed-race with excellent physical fitness.

The golden eyes glowed faintly in the darkness.

Shinji Ikari closed his eyes.

The quickest way to fall asleep is to stop thinking about anything else. Of course, he had a method before to consume his energy and then fall asleep, but now the person lying next to him is Asuka, and the last time she was still calling for her mother in her sleep.

The sleepiness gradually came over me.

The night was deep and cold, only here was warm enough that there was no need to turn on the air conditioner. The sky outside was dotted with stars, and the Third New Tokyo was as quiet as a dead city. There was no sound of wheels rolling, nor the annoying sound of summer cicadas. The whole world was so quiet at the moment that it seemed as if there were only two people in this apartment. At this moment, the girl in my arms suddenly moved. First, her whole body shook, and then there was a low, almost inaudible sob, which gradually became louder and louder.

She kept crying, and her tears soaked Shinji Ikari's shirt.

Why are you still sleeping now?

Shinji Ikari opened his eyes distractedly, but Asuka still held him tightly, as if he was a large human pillow.

The girl cried and looked like she was bullied by him.

It’s unfair, Your Honor.

I am innocent, but can the law still stand on his side this time? Ikari Shinji sighed and just listened quietly to Asuka crying. When she stopped crying, Asuka rubbed her red eyes with his clothes and continued crying. She didn't stop until she was completely exhausted. Asuka seemed to want to say something, but her voice was so hoarse that only unclear words came out of her throat.

Shinji Ikari wanted to go to the kitchen to get a glass of water, but Asuka wouldn't let him go, so he had to carry the girl with him. After he gave her most of the drink and lay back on the bed, Asuka said weakly:

"…Hey, stupid Shinji."

"Yeah I'm here."

He said.

You're finally willing to talk, Asuka. That's good. At least what you're doing is not meaningless.

"You're taking advantage of me," she added.

"Yeah." He apologized softly, "I'm sorry."

"Why did you come to rescue me?"

"If you want to save it, save it."

Shinji Ikari said, looking at the ceiling.

There was no special reason, he just saw Asuka was about to die, so he saved her, even if it happened again, he would lend a hand. But Asuka suddenly fell silent when she heard his answer. Ikari Shinji could feel her heavy breath spraying on his skin, making it itchy. The scent of her fragrant shampoo and shower gel, mixed with the unique hormones of a young girl, suddenly gushed over him.

He personally helped to wash the bath.

Although she was wearing clothes, Shinji Ikari felt that she was even more attractive than when she was naked.

"...Want a reward?"

"do not want!"

Shinji Ikari said decisively.

As soon as he heard Asuka ask this question, he knew what she was going to do, and he predicted it and rejected it directly. But this obviously annoyed Asuka, who had just recovered. She opened her mouth and bit Shinji Ikari's shoulder viciously, as if he was a complete villain.

hiss--

"A puppy?" he asked, taking a breath.

"sorry."

Asuka opened her mouth and said sadly,
"But I am worthless now and can't be a pilot. The reward I want to give you is myself, but Shinji you don't want it. I don't know what to do. Hey Shinji, what should I do now..." Her voice was filled with tears again.

"Who said you have no value, Unit 2..."

When he talked about Unit 2, Asuka immediately let go of his arms with both hands. She covered her ears and put on an expression of rejection, saying "I don't want to listen". This time she really looked like a poor homeless puppy, but her white legs were still entangled with Shinji Ikari, holding him and not letting him go.

"Would you like to hear me tell you?" Shinji Ikari said helplessly.

"not good."

She shook her head vigorously like a rattle, acting like a spoiled little princess. That's how girls act when they're being naughty.

"Then let me listen to you?" He had no choice but to say this.

"say what?"

"Any story will do."
