Just Like It, You Don't Have to Love It

——When I was young and in love, one of the favorite questions girls asked was: "Do you like me? Or do you love me?" I was confused for a moment, couldn't I just like you? Do we have to move from liking to loving? The girls' answer is often: "If you move from liking to love, we can continue to communicate. If you just like, we can break up. 'Love' cannot delay time. Girls are young and beautiful, only for a few years." After the reform and opening up, China entered the process of modernization, and people's thinking has undergone earth-shaking changes. People gradually accept that they can like or love. Relationships between men and women do not necessarily have to lead to love in the end. Love - allows people to have a real home; like - allows people to have a spiritual home. People can also choose one of the two. Nowadays, there are many single men and women in big cities, even more than married men and women. Why is this so? I want to explore this issue in this novel. I once wrote a million-word novel "A Man with an Emerald Feather", which is now being serialized on the Qidian Chinese website. I thought that both men and women would like to read it, but from reading surveys, most boys read it. Where are the female readers? I'm weird! So, I wrote this novel to gain myself some female readers. I also want to tell girls that men are complicated, and complexity is not necessarily bad. Many times, just liking something is enough, and you don't necessarily have to pursue love. Like and love both take time to soak in, and both consume youth; often, if you no longer like it, you will still leave precious memories! No more love, sometimes hate remains.
