Chapter 235 233. Confession ()
Shinji Ikari handed over the joke book he bought.
Asuka read a few pages and immediately put it down. She glanced at Shinji Ikari, and after realizing that this might have been bought by him, the eldest lady's beautiful eyebrows raised slightly, and she deliberately showed a look as if she was looking at a fool.
"So childish."
She said contemptuously.
Shinji Ikari subconsciously wanted to say that this is more suitable for you now, but he stopped in time. Asuka would definitely not let him off if he said this. Although Asuka said it childishly, she did not return the joke book and just left it on the bed.
Then she started chatting with Misato Katsuragi.
This time it was Shinji Ikari's turn to be embarrassed, as he couldn't interrupt the conversation between the two women. Fortunately, he had ways to kill time. He picked up other joke books he had bought and started reading, suppressing his laughter after reading funny stories... So how could this be childish?
After a long time, their topic finally came to an end.
"Miri, have you had dinner yet?"
"not yet."
"Why don't you go back first, Misato." Asuka thought of the penguin in the apartment and couldn't help but say, "If you go back later, PENEPN will probably pass out from hunger."
Misato Katsuragi glanced out the window.
The sky was getting darker, the clouds were gray, and the evening was about to pass. Asuka was right, there was still a pet to be raised at home.
"Well, I'll be leaving now. I'll come back tomorrow."
"Bye-Bye."
Asuka waved her hand.
Misato Katsuragi originally wanted to ask Shinji Ikari if he wanted to go back with her, but seeing Shinji Ikari concentrating on reading a joke book, and then looking at Asuka lying on the hospital bed watching her go away, she gave up the idea. Asuka rubbed her head as she watched Misato Katsuragi leave. The severe pain was still lingering, and there was no good solution if she didn't take medicine.
She looked at Shinji Ikari, her beautiful eyes rolled around, as if she had some devilish idea. Asuka patted the side of the bed with her hand and softly invited Shinji Ikari,"Shinji, do you want to lie down?"
"No, I'm not tired. Asuka, you should have a good rest."
Shinji Ikari put down the book and shook his head.
This refusal seemed to annoy Asuka a little.
She immediately snorted and turned her back on the bed, leaving him with only her back in hospital gown. From this angle, the girl's shoulders looked thin. Her long golden hair fell naturally on the pillow. After all, she had been lying down for a whole day, so her hair was messy, but it still had a smooth texture.
"First tell me what you are going to do when you lie down."
That was all he could say.
Asuka didn't respond, but her fair earlobe turned red. It seemed that she was too embarrassed to ask what she was going to do, so she had this attitude. But this was a bit strange, because Asuka usually said she wanted to kiss someone openly, so what could make this young lady so shy?Thinking of something, Shinji Ikari silently took off his indoor shoes.
He climbed onto the bed.
"What?" she asked softly.
"nothing."
As Shinji Ikari spoke, he reached out and hugged Asuka in his arms.
The girl then turned around and put her face to his chest. Asuka's soft body pressed against him skillfully, with only clothes between them. He could feel that the young lady seemed to be happier, but in the end, she just wanted a simple hug.
"Hey, stupid Shinji." She said. "Yeah, I'm here."
Will this relieve the pain in my head?
Asuka was not sure, but smelling the scent of Ikari Shinji, she felt a sense of security. After a while, she could not stay still and tossed around in his arms, like a caterpillar in its pupa.
"Asuka, what's wrong?"
"…Wash, washroom…"
The young lady said somewhat shamefully that she had not yet satisfied her physiological needs after lying in bed all day. Asuka's expression of holding back looked a little cute... Ikari Shinji dispelled this idea, which could be called perverted. He helped Asuka up, and the girl's entire center of gravity leaned on him, and he could feel the softness of her body.
They arrived at the bathroom and Asuka went in alone.
The sound of water running sounded.
The young lady came out of the bathroom with a rosy cheek.
Even though Shinji Ikari had helped her the last time she was hospitalized, he still seemed to be ashamed of this kind of thing. He helped her back to the bed, but a small incident happened in the middle. "Hey, hey--" At one point she made such a sound, leaned over, and pressed her lips against Shinji Ikari's cheek. Needless to say, he could guess what Asuka was thinking, it was nothing more than "reward".
Even if my head hurts, I still have to be funny.
But this was the Asuka he was familiar with.
The two of them lay down on the bed and hugged each other. The atmosphere was very quiet. There was no sound in the ward, not even the night insects chirped. They could only hear each other's heartbeats. I don't know how long it took. For a moment, Asuka thought about letting him stay in the ward overnight, just holding her until tomorrow morning, and waking up to see the boy's sleeping face. However, she immediately realized that it was a little late.
Asuka pushed him gently, motioning him to get off the bed.
"Again..."
"No." Asuka knew that Shinji Ikari thought she was going to the bathroom again, and said angrily, "Shinji, you should go back now. If you are late, you will miss the train."
"Is it okay to go back now?"
"Don't worry, I'll call the nurse if anything happens."
Asuka said with a yawn.
Yes... there is a nurse. Ikari Shinji realized that as a pilot, Asuka would be well taken care of as long as she called the nurse, so there was no need to worry too much, after all, she was fine the last time she was hospitalized.
"I'm leaving."
"Ah."
He helped fill the water cup and put the disposable medicine on the table, which would be much more convenient for Asuka to go to bed at night. After doing all this, he was ready to go back. Asuka waved at him childishly, and Ikari Shinji left the ward.
It's not too late yet.
It was just getting dark, and at least he could catch the last train. Ikari Shinji took a few steps and looked back at the brightly lit hospital in the night.
The nurse is here. I think I've been worrying too much about Asuka.
Unconsciously, this girl is integrating into his life bit by bit. Shinji Ikari has become accustomed to kissing her and hugging her, which is different from the last time he didn't like her a long time ago. Miss Misato said not to regret it. What is there between her and Asuka that has not been completed? Thinking about it carefully, it seems that there is still some... So far, he seems to have never officially confessed.
That liking for ice cream a long time ago was just a lie.
He hasn't really confessed yet.
