I think it is cause of how he views Xinlu as a child, the internal monologue about the flower, etc...
I don't think he is a pedo..He said Xinlu is his first love while imagining 13 year old Xinlu and many people find it creepy but the first time I read it, I knew that Yuri is in love with Xinlu, the adult one and that is his first ever love, he thinking about 13 year old Xinlu was just him remembering how beautiful Xinlu was even before. He had no ill intentions. Yuri did not pursue Xinlu when he was a minor, he did not force him, he doesn't have sexual tendency towards Xinlu, he did not groomed him, Yuri did not manipulate a child..their romance started in their current ages
Sorry but that’s still not normal. Even if he didn’t have any ill intentions Yuri still fell in love with 13 years old Xinlu, the adolescent was his first love that’s how he described it. Even tho their romance started as adult, Yuri’s still remained from back then. That’s predatory even if he didn’t act on his feelings.
Bro there are different types of love and what yuri had was the purest form of love for xinlu Even now only in the recent most chapter is he having sexual feelings for xinlu most noticeable during their swimming session when he was teaching xinlu or else before that he only admired xinlu and being a pedo is lusting for minors and I can assure you yuri has never lusted for xinlu even now theses sexual feelings he has for xin is another from of love never lust i hope u can agree with this cuz this manwha is truly beautiful and I'd hate for you not to enjoy it fully cuz ur doubt about yuri being a pedo my man's #1 top yearner of the century and the coming generations he couldn't be a pedo ╥﹏╥
There's a post stating Yuri is a pedo.
I'm confused, make me understand how so?
Yuri indeed known Xinlu since Xinlu still a child. After that, isn't they're separated and only now (in both adult years) they only met? Then Yuri fallen for Xinlu at this time. Confessing his feelings, but stating he won't chase after Xinlu because he knows Xinlu's heart with someone else.
So, is knowing someone when they're a child and you happened to be several years more older than them, then you fallen for them after long years of separation and meet them in their adult age is considered a pedophile behavior now?
Just because you already met them when they're a child, doesn't matter you ONLY like them now when they're already an adult?
