Very cute short story. Despite the lack of fluffy dog food (personal display affection) being thrown at the readers by the lead CP (couple pairing), it seems almost like a recollection of the start to a love story. Love the realistic details the novel touched upon in this because this sounds very much like what someone in real life would realistically do in the scenario where they encounter things like what Qi Meng, our FL and protagonist did.

Chen Yao, our ML of Like it or Not, is one of the... more>> rare few green flags for a partner both in the fictional or real life world. He takes time to accept his emotions for his affections to Qi Meng and doesn't bother to hide his intentions that he has a crush on her despite whatever emotional rollercoaster ride QM has experienced. He dares to assume responsibility even if he doesn't recognize what QM means to him because she was after all, a potential blind date partner that was arranged by his 'aunt' which I like to think this very same aunt was QM's mother or relative ahahaha.

Great read for works with less than 10 Chapters. Even though we didn't get a glimpse to their life as a couple after Chen Yao and Qi Meng both revealed their affections to each other, I'm still quite satisfied with what we got. <<less
