I Don’t Like The World, I Only Like You

Description

The night before we obtained our marriage certificate, I asked him, “When did you start to develop feelings for me?”

He answered, “I don’t remember.”

“But, why me?”

“Why not you?”

“I’m very petty, and I get jealous very easily.”

“So am I.”

“I’m afraid I’m not worthy of you.”

“So am I.”

“I haven’t really dated, so I don’t know what love is.”

“I don’t know either.”

He held my hand gently, “But I know this. When I think about spending the rest of my life with you, I feel that my future is filled with hope.”

At 16, we used the same class desk, with less than 10cm between our arms. My peripheral vision was full of him.

At 26, I woke up in the morning, and saw the sunlight softly shining on his face. I thought, this is how I want to grow old – gradually, together, with him.

I guess this must be love.

Sweet and heart-warming. Makes you tear up at some point. No actual plot but just little bits of stories about the author and her husband but still very enjoyable.

I’ll write a more through review later but as of right now, this is my favorite quote of the book:

‘Come to think of it, when I decided to break off our friendship I didn’t quarrel with him, and when we amended our relationship I didn’t cry. When we decided to be together he didn’t confess too me, and when we decided to marry he didn’t officially propose to me– everything just happened naturally on its own accord... It was as though both of us knew that these events would happen,... more>> and that both of us were simply waiting for the right time to arrive.’

the book is well written and I love it very much. Joey is such a charm to read about. <<less

This was so bittersweet and heartwarming at the same time. Although Mr. F and Joey overcame their struggles throughout their youth and romance by effort, her friends’ situations breaks me to tears. I’m very happy for Mr. F’s and Joey’s happy future but I can’t help but agonize and sympathize with Dorm Leader, Young Master, and Female Goddess. I hope that they too one day found happiness within the one they love. And also for Hu Wan Yi to also find herself a lover :)

I really love this novel.

A slice-of-life novel that bring you warmth. I totally love the pair. How realistic they were (well, they are the real couple, so... hahaha)

It such a fun ride that allow us to see about what love and life is. I read it at my office and I think my colleagues see me in such a weird look because I keep smiling through the entire story while also tears up at some points.

I totally recommend this story to anyone who wants to feel (or read) a... more>> sweet real love story. The story is actually simple but it totally draws you in in the first chapter.

I hope many people will read this novel and experience the warmth I feel right now. <<less

Great slice of life novel. We get to read about little tidbits of the author's life which is very refreshing especially when the author talked about those sweet moments with her partner. This is definitely relationship goals. Oh, how I envy all those lovebirds in the sky while I am still solo-ing through life. T^T

I don't like how his words were false and contradictory:

Spoiler

On one hand he says: "I don’t like the world, I only like you"

On the other hand, he chooses to break up with her, rather than give up his current job.

He even says: "Although love is extremely important, our lives do not revolve around it. Instead, we are usually busy with our individual matters for majority of the time." Not saying that's necessarily wrong, but it just doesn't match up with his other words.

(Ch.17)
Truly heart warming, sweet and funny but can mix it up with some deeper segments. You'll know if this is for you if you read a few of the stories. This is a book with small anecdotes of a woman using the name Joey as her pen name. The short stories contain lots of scenarious, primarily with her husband Mr.F, but also with her friends and family. Basically about her and the people she has around.

She and Mr.F bicker a lot, with him ending on top. He... more>> looks stoic and calm but reveals his true nature with Joey. She also lets herself be more silly around him. Mr.F sly, cunning and smart, but he is also the most loving husband. He loves her with his whole heart and she loves him back.

While the stories are generally very light with a slice of life feel (since it's basically slice-of-life), it also made me cry several times. Some contain diabetes inducing sweetness, while others are describing the hardships of the characters.

I highly recommend it if you like a funny, somewhat silly, not dumb and realistic female lead with a deadpan, genius, loving husband. It's a healing book with lots of smiles. <<less

I love this story so much. The author and her husband were so sweet. Their relationship wasn't perfect, in fact, both of them weren't perfect either but that made this story more realistic. It's a pity that I didn't manage to see their little dumpling in the end.

Spoiler

And the story about the dorm leader and the young master were quite heartbreaking. I wish they could find their happy ending even though they couldn't be with each other anymore.

I'm here after watching the drama and reading the whole story and I can say that I loved both. The actors did justice with this story and deserve appreciation. And when I found that the ML and FL of the drama are married in real life and even have a cute little daughter I couldn't hide the pink hearts popping out in my eyes. Lol *_*

I am not really good with words but just want to say that you all should really read this romantic love story of Mr F... more>> and Miss Dummy if like me you prefer stories without too much angst and unnecessary drama. And this story doesn't only focus on romance between the main lead and female lead but also the familial love. There were so many situations that I could totally relate to. A very heartwarming story. ♥️ <<less

The novel is obviously good based on the rating alone.

So this writing is solely for the purpose of ranting on...

... more>>
Spoiler

how I got teary eyed about Joey's grandma's scene about 'I.... glub you...' and Guan Chao's care during her time on the hospital.

I also like how she incorporated her biography with deeper insights like how gentleness became part of her nature just because her dearest Hao Wu Yi showed her first what gentleness is. Or how Young Master appears to be easy going but he sees clearly but decided to bury everything. Or how strong and a good daughter Female Goddess is, even during those times she was isolated greatly just because she was beautiful. Or how dorm leader became strong after her innocence and dreams shattered after her family became indebted. Or how Little C is being a pe*vert from squinting her eyes just because she refused wearing eye glasses in fear of tarnishing her good looks.

Of course, what I love the most is her interactions with her husband, Mr. F. The ever tsundere husband that gamely plays along with Joey's craziness.

THIS IS ONE OF THE BEST NOVELS THAT I’VE EVER READ!!!!

The story line is sooooooo beautiful. Maybe because it is based on the author’s real life story, it really touched my heart.I really love Mr.F and Qiao Yi together. I highly recommend this novel to everyone. I’m in love with Mr.F’s character in here because he just seems so cold but he’s not. This is even better than the drama. I wish I could see them having a child too tho

I don't like the world, I only like you Is a very wholesome novel. The author Qiao Yi, did a wonderful job in capturing the allure of the mundane. The author doesnt utilize a lot schemes or complex plots to hook the readers. Misunderstandings wasn't also used often to drive the plot forward. Additionally, The author using a different format, to write the novel, was refreshing and pleasing to see. Her leads in the novel, Joey and Mr.F, also shows good character growth and buildup. Their interactions and playful banter... more>> was both endearing and a joy to read. Subsidiary, The side characters doesn't pale in comparison to the ML and FL. They all had their own unique quirk and hilarious stories to share. The side characters peculiarities and jovial interactions with the leads definately compelled me to keep reading. The writing was also very pleasant and easy to read. Plainly said, the novel is Simple, yet Elegant.

If I were to describe what I felt like whilst reading this then, I would say that it felt like I was a some big shot, whom is carrying the weight of the world, in a bus stop listening to a woman recounting her life whilst feeling envious of her mundane life.

All in all this novel provided a good break from those a CN novels that made me want to rip my hair off.

10/10. Totally recommend it and I highly suggest reading it in a warm summer afternoon with a lavender tea in hand. <<less

This is so HEARTWARMING.

Like a shower/rain on a sunny day. It really gaves off this feeling of warmth and the presence of sorrow. Despite this, there comes the renewal giving contentment and happiness.

It was written not in the usual form of a story but it was just right. I find it fitting for this slice of life novel. Huge thumbs up.

I really recomend this novel. It is the fluffiest novel I had read. It also funny and I cry a little bit. It's like Joey is really telling her story personally to me, a very unique novel indeed. ??

This is absolutely a gem. The true feelings of the author transcends through the words used to narrate the story. And the best part is The translation was absolutely perfect. I am extremely picky and this one goes at the top of my list.

Seems like an autobiography on the author's life but it's probably some real life moments and made up events mixed in.

However, the novel does justify the 'Heartwarming' tag. I did enjoy reading it.

Very interesting take on a romantic story (and I believe it's an autobiography). It starts when they're already married and the chapters contain short stories of their life. This way, readers get a peek into their life and their past. Seriously though, the lives of the characters make me feel like they're straight from a story; just take Guan Chao, Little C, Female Goddess, or even Dorm Leader.
