"Zhetian!" Asuka called out to Huang Zhetian.
"What do you want? Whoa!"
"Shouldn't I be asking you that? What are you doing?" Asuka stood with her hands on her hips, wearing a swimsuit with red and white horizontal stripes.
"Helping Shinji with a physics problem and learning a little myself." Huang Zhetian's fingers flew over his laptop keyboard. He glanced up as he answered, then lowered his head again. Two seconds later, his head shot back up...
"Ah well~ Since we can't go diving in Okinawa, we'll just have to make do here," Asuka said casually.
"Ah... uh, um... you... yeah, that's right." Huang Zhetian's response was incoherent.
"Let me see. What are you studying?" Curious, Asuka braced one hand on the table and leaned down to look at the problem on the screen.
Huang Zhetian sat in his chair, leaning back slightly, his face a little flushed.
"You can't even solve an equation this simple? You spent so long typing that I thought you were actually good at this." Asuka typed in the answer with one hand.
And Huang Zhetian experienced everything in the original Shinji's place: the sight, the proximity, the sensation, the scent...
Aaaah!!! This is going to kill me!! Those two peaks in front of me aren't something anyone her age should have!
That figure... I honestly don't know what to say. Even through a screen, I could tell how gorgeous she was when I watched the anime. Seeing her this close in real life was on another level. She's going to be the death of me!
A few seconds later.
"All done. That was easy." Her rosy, cherry-like lips parted slightly, looking very enticing.
He stared blankly at Asuka's fresh, natural beauty as she casually showed off her stunning figure beside him. It was really... (I'll leave the rest of the description to you readers. The author will let you do it yourselves (ಡωಡ))
"Then why don't you do well on tests at school?" Huang Zhetian asked. Two years had passed, and he had forgotten quite a few details from the anime. He was puzzled that Asuka could answer so well despite doing so few problems at school.
"Idiot! It's because I couldn't understand the questions." Asuka straightened her slender waist and lifted her chin slightly, looking haughty.
"So you still have trouble reading questions in Japanese."
"Yeah, I haven't learned all the Chinese characters yet. We didn't study them at my university."
"You've graduated from university? Damn!"
"That's right! Jealous? That's the uniquely high IQ of this girl genius!"
"You want to learn every Chinese character? You'll never manage it. China has five thousand years of history, and you think a foreigner like you can learn them all? You've still got a long way to go. I'm Chinese, and even I don't know every character. What makes you think you can?"
"Hmph! I'll get there eventually, won't I? Hey, what else have you written here?"
"It's a question about expansion..."
"Expansion with heat and contraction with cold. Isn't that easy? Do you think breasts would expand if you put hot water on them? Well, Zhetian?" Asuka cupped hers with both hands as she teased him.
"Uh, I think I ought to try that procedure myself..." Huang Zhetian gave a knowing grin.
"Pervert! Idiot! Baka! Make me something delicious when we get home, or I won't forgive you!"
Huang Zhetian and Asuka chatted happily, with bursts of laughter coming from them now and then.
Splash-whoosh.
The sound of water made them both turn their heads.
They saw Shinji thoughtfully hand a towel to Rei Ayanami, who had just climbed out of the swimming pool.
There was no denying that Rei Ayanami was very pretty, especially in that tight swimsuit.
It showed off every curve of her figure... What a sight. Tsk! Shinji had found himself a real treasure (눈_눈)
Rei Ayanami took the towel and dried her hair. As she talked with Shinji, the corners of her mouth curled upward slightly now and then.
"Hey! Baka Zhetian! Where are your eyes wandering? Huh!? Why look at that Honor Student when you've got all this right here?" Asuka folded her arms across her chest, looking jealous.
"Ah! No, no. I was just curious. Your figure is better than hers..." Huang Zhetian panicked.
"Hmph, of course it is! How could that Honor Student compare? I'm telling you, there's no comparison!" Asuka's eyes widened as she spoke through gritted teeth.
"Yes, yes, yes! My princess..."
"Speaking of which, that idiot Shinji has a thing for that Honor Student..."
"Isn't that obvious? Are you blind...?"
"I give you an inch, and you dare talk to me like that! I've been far too easy on you!"
"Fine, pretend I didn't say anything..."
Huang Zhetian stood up and stretched. He called to the two across from them, "Shinji, let's go take a walk outside! We're leaving! Hurry up!"
"Okay, Zhetian-kun!" Shinji waved back.
At the volcano's perimeter, in the Monitoring Room.
"Miss Katsuragi, we've reached the limit!"
"No! Please lower it another five hundred meters."
The propellers on either side of the Probe rotated slowly as it descended deeper into the magma, making creaking noises.
A moment later, there was the sound of glass breaking. An alarm went off.
"Depth: twelve hundred meters. Cracks have appeared in the pressure-resistant bulkhead," a female voice reported.
"Miss Katsuragi!" Another staff member immediately turned around and called to Misato.
"We'll pay for any damage to the equipment. Lower it another two hundred meters," Misato replied calmly, her eyes fixed on the data displayed on the screen.
The Probe continued its slow descent, mechanical noises ringing out.
Hyuga stared at the screen and reported to everyone, "The monitor has picked something up!"
"Begin analysis!" Misato gripped the chair's backrest, her eyes still on the screen as she answered in a low voice.
"Yes!" Hyuga pressed a button, and the data analysis began.
Before long, the Probe began to buckle slowly under the pressure, then was rapidly crushed into a mangled lump. It had clearly been destroyed.
A long alarm sounded, refusing to stop.
"The Probe was crushed and exploded."
"How's the analysis?" Misato asked.
"We just barely got it in time. Pattern blue."
"No mistake. It's an Angel." Misato's gaze darkened as she looked at the enormous image displayed on the screen-an Angel Embryo.
"Effective immediately, seal off the Research Institute completely. NERV will take over management of this site! No one is permitted to enter or leave. Everything that happened over the past six hours is to remain confidential." Misato turned around and issued her orders.
Huge red characters, written in intricate strokes, appeared. The combination of black and red felt anything but ordinary-TOP SECRET.
