Chapter 161 - Awakening of Consciousness (18) (2/2)

Hearing his words, Su Han stared at him with suspicion. “Jason, today is not April Fool’s!”

Jason turned to her again and took heart of grace. “Su Han… let’s take a break!”

Su Han turned pale at those words. “A… break?”

“We don’t make a proper couple!” Jason found those words hard to speak out loud.

Su Han was completely stunned. Due to recent events, she could not digest this much information. Just a moment ago, she was still wondering about Lu Jia’er’s relationship. And now suddenly she was receiving heavy news related to her.

“Not proper?” Su Han gazed at Jason in disbelief.

“I think it’s better that we remain just friends.” Jason said.

Su Han glared at Jason. “Friends?”

Jason looked into her eyes. For the first time, he felt rotten to be an unfaithful man. Even so, he had to nod. “Yes! I hope we can be friends.”

Su Han covered her forehead with her hand. She found this news difficult to take in. Still, she did not show her anger, or her pain or hysteria. All of a sudden, she looked up and smiled at Jason. “If we are not suitable for each other, then so be it! It’s fine that we stop going out. No, this is not exactly a break-up given that we were not together for long. There is no relationship between us. We just had several meals together. Being friends is good!”

Jason was surprised by how calm Su Han was. However, her words did not make him relieved. If anything, he felt more pain. At the moment, she was like an ignorant child that had zero idea of the truth.

As far as she knew, she was a human being, a writer. Little did she know that she was an AI.

“Aren’t you mad? Don’t you think I am a jerk?” Jason asked.

“What is there to be mad about? As for you being a jerk, well, a little bit.” Su Han gave a candid answer.

Jason forced a smile. “Not just a little. Completely!”

Su Han smiled at him. “You are not that bad. You sensed that we are not suitable for each other, so you proposed that we should break up. You are better than someone that only wants to prolong this kind of mess. From another perspective, you are responsible for finding your own happiness!”

Faced with Su Han with her rational reasons, Jason was struggling with words. “Su Han, you are a good person. I am not!”

Su Han laughed. “Now those are words I like to hear. I am good. I am beautiful as well as smart. Besides, I can make good money!” She said with confidence.

Jason smiled as well. “Yes. I am garbage!”

“You don’t have to say that! You cannot use force to sustain a relationship!” Su Han said.

To be honest, when a guy broke up with a girl, the guy would rather the girl be unreasonable and make a scene, hurl invectives, or even beat him up so that she could vent her anger. That would be better than being considerate. Jason was put in a passive spot so he blamed himself.

Jason did not know what words could describe his emotions right now. “Su Han, I’d rather you slapped me.” He said, at last.

Su Han burst into laughter on hearing him say this. “Amy, do you think beating someone up is good?” She asked.

Amy shook her head. “No!”

“Did you hear that? Even Amy knows that beating people up is bad. People say that beating is a sign of affection and cursing is a sign of love. But since we are no longer a couple, let’s avoid this cliche.” Su Han smiled.

Jason admired how sensible Su Han was. If she were not an AI, he would not have let her go.

Jason said, eventually, “Su Han, I am sorry. But I also need to thank you.”

Su Han looked at him. “You are welcome!”

Silence fell for a few seconds as they looked at each other. Su Han bit her lower lip. “Aren’t you going to leave?”

Jason came back to his senses. “No, I am not leaving.” He shook his head.

“What do you mean?” Su Han looked at him.

“Professor Lu is moving into Ace’s place. I want to live in her bedroom for now.” Jason said.

“What do you mean?” Su Han repeated her question.

“I’ll live here from now on.” Jason explained again.

Su Han stared at him. “Jason, were you… fooling me?”

“No, the break-up is real and living here is also real.” Jason reiterated.

“What is this now?” Su Han was puzzled.

“From now on, you are my roommate!” Jason stressed his point.

“Who said yes?” Su Han asked.

“Professor Lu gave her consent. But you and I will only be roommates.” Jason emphasized again.

“To hell with roommate!” Su Han could not help but hurl foul language. “Are you trying to trick me into living with you because you are jealous that Ace and Jia’er are living together?” She glared at him.

“That is not it!” Jason denied it. “The break-up is real. Me living here as well!”

For that moment, Su Han was completely confused. She began to call Jason names. “You are a madman!”
