I decided to break up with Ji Shixu. It was a sunny afternoon, in his lab, which was packed with precision instruments and complex data models. I took a deep breath and recited the lines I'd spent a week preparing.
"Ji Shixu, let's break up."
"I'm tired of this. I don't love you anymore. That's it."
He was looking down, adjusting something, and didn't stop what he was doing when he heard me. A full half minute passed before he looked up. His eyes behind his gold-rimmed glasses were perfectly calm.
"Okay."
He even smiled at me.
"Your reasons are sound, and your logic is consistent. I accept."
My heart leaped with joy.
[Did I clear the level? That easily?]
