    I'm desperately looking for a similar story. The male and female leads go on a blind date, and he deliberately says some unpleasant things, like having two children in three years and needing to hand-wash clothes. The female lead gets angry and throws a cup of coffee at him. The next day, she discovers he's a new professor. Both families think they get along well, but after some events, they're forced to live together for a month. Please, please help me find similar stories! I really want to read one! 😍😍😍
