EVA: Shinji Ikari Returns from the Dragon Clan

Chapter 52 51. Eating more green vegetables is good for your health (more updates with monthly ticket rewards)
Even though this was not the first time Shinji Ikari went to Ayanami's apartment, he was stunned when he heard the invitation.

He couldn't help but let his imagination run wild.

But he quickly killed the thought.

It's just about playing cello music for her, and at most having a meal at her place, there's nothing else. Don't think too much about it, Ayanami's personality means that nothing will happen in the apartment tonight.

The two walked on the road together.

On that usual avenue, there was no separation, but they went to Ayanami's apartment together.

402 entrance.

Rei Ayanami opened the door.

The two entered the apartment.

The furniture in Ayanami's apartment is now almost the same as it was when everyone had a dinner together last time. The only thing worth noting is that there is a porcelain vase on the table in the apartment with a white lily of the valley in full bloom. From a distance, it looks like white sparks.

It seems that she cherishes this lily of the valley very much.

After all, only a day or two had passed.

So the flowers still look very alive, the whole room is filled with soft floral fragrance, and the beautiful appearance of the flowers adds a lot of color to this monotonous apartment.

At this time.

Shinji Ikari sat on the chair.

The girl was sitting opposite him, and the distance between them was very close.

He is about to start playing.

I don't know what kind of music Rei Ayanami would like, but first of all, we can rule out the new age rock style. Shinji Ikari thought about it and chose a classical and soothing piece of music.

The cello is naturally suited to this.

At first, he was a little nervous when he thought about facing Rei Ayanami, but soon, the bow in his hand slid gently on the strings, and he gradually immersed himself in the process of playing the cello, as if dancing in harmony with the world, and the notes were like dancers jumping and spinning on the stage. Along with the harmony of the cello, the charm of classical music was also revealed.

Even though this is not a spacious concert hall but Ayanami's apartment, the melody of the cello in his hands is still melodious, emitting a low and moving tone.

The song is over.

"..."

Ayanami was still looking at him with her red eyes, and his and the cello's shadows seemed to be reflected in her eyes.

Nothing happens.

"We need to applaud at this time."

He said helplessly.

The girl immediately clapped her hands obediently.

Shinji Ikari was a little amused and helpless for a moment. Although he knew that Ayanami Rei was like this, how was this different from raising a pet? This was not what he wanted. Shake hands when she is told to, applaud when she is told to, sit down when she is told to... Forget it, just let her change slowly. At least the girl has changed a lot now.

He then played another piece with the bow.

It is also a piece of music with a soothing rhythm.

This time, Rei Ayanami reacted quickly and clapped politely.

After playing two songs in a row, Shinji Ikari wanted to take a break. He put down the cello and was about to stretch, but suddenly found that the distance between him and Ayanami seemed too close, almost within a foot of each other.

The atmosphere in the apartment suddenly became somewhat ambiguous.

The two people looked at each other.

As if there were only the two of them in their eyes, Ikari Shinji seemed to be able to feel Ayanami's breath, and instinctively moved closer. Soon even the tips of their noses were about to touch, and he suddenly seemed to start to secrete saliva in his mouth, and his throat felt a little itchy.

The girl looked at him like a confused little deer, her bright red eyes filled with wet confusion.

Rei Ayanami had no idea what was going to happen next.

Is this okay?
I thought about it.

He didn't kiss her.

Shinji Ikari just gave her a hug.

What he held in his arms was a soft and slender body, as if he was holding a ball of cotton candy, so soft that he could not help but want to fall into it, but he quickly let go of his hand.

"According to etiquette, the cellist should give the audience a hug after the performance."

He said seriously.

Shinji Ikari thought that he was now a big liar, and he could even do such a bad thing as lying with ease. This was the first time he lied to Ayanami. People believed him so much, but he had betrayed that trust, just for that little selfish motive just now. If the girl believed him -

"Okay." She nodded.

Terrible.

It seems like she really believes his explanation. What should she do if Ayanami is too gullible?

Suddenly, the beautiful girl came closer, and just when Shinji Ikari thought he had exposed something, Rei Ayanami gave him a gentle hug.
"There was one more time before that."

A sense of guilt suddenly filled his heart. For a moment, Shinji Ikari wanted to say, "I was just lying to you. I just wanted to give you a hug, so I made up an excuse. Hahaha, sorry." But he felt the softness in his arms and suddenly fell silent. It would be okay if he was a little greedy.

It’s the first time in such a long time since I came back to this world that I got a hug that didn’t make me feel lonely.

So lonely.

Sometimes, when you stay alone in your apartment late at night, you will feel a little lonely. Even if you are a hero who has saved the world, you still want someone to talk to you.

Compared to that.

What he wanted more was a hug.

I don’t know how much time passed.

"It's been a while."

The girl said so.

The hug between the two people lasted for a long time, completely beyond the boundaries between the cellist and the audience.

Ikari Shinji quickly let go.

"Ah, I'm sorry."

"It doesn't matter." She asked doubtfully, "You're not going to play it anymore."

"..."

"I'm hungry."

Shinji Ikari remained calm.

This sentence was not a lie. After all, it was usually time for dinner. He might be a little hungry, or not very hungry, in a Schrodinger's state, but he was definitely hungry. And if he really exchanged his performance for a hug every time, he would probably not be able to finish the performance from night to day, just like the Thousand and One Nights, playing endlessly and hugging the girl all the time.

Rei Ayanami asked softly,

"Are you hungry."

"Ah."

He nodded.

So the beautiful girl with red eyes found an apron from the closet in the apartment and put it on.

This is to cook for him.

Ayanami didn't let her cook alone. Shinji Ikari walked into the kitchen and prepared the ingredients with the girl. As expected, there was no meat in the kitchen, but it was full of various vegetables. The incandescent light in the kitchen lit up, and the edge of the kitchen knife slid across the green vegetables. The whole kitchen was filled with the breath of their lives.

He looked at the green vegetables.

Compared to meat, Ayanami likes eating these green vegetables very much.

Thinking back to the atmosphere before, Shinji Ikari felt like he was just like the heroine in a girls' comic, doing everything he could to deceive the cold and indifferent opponent.

I kind of hope it's my first kiss.

It’s with Ayanami.

he thought.

This kind of life is so good. The last time I saw the blue octahedral apostle, it seems like it was a long time ago. I really hope that the next apostle will never come. It would be better if that day is postponed a little bit, not tomorrow, nor the day after tomorrow.

At the dinner table, he occasionally looked at the girl's hair.

That blue hair.

Really like ah.

It's the same color as the ocean in another world.
