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 ╥﹏╥
Gurl... Yuri's first love is the adult Xinlu who just happened to be the boy he once saved. Yuri was not in love with him SINCE he was 13 yrs old. It like I love my husband who is four years younger than me, we fall in love when he was 22 but he was also once a 13 year old random guy in my neighbourhood lol...my relationship develop with him when he was 22..he became my first love..that does not mean I LOVED HIM SINCE HE WAS 13 YEARS OLD ew...
A pedophile is driven by lust, but Yuri wasn't lusting after Xinlu. He was mesmerized by Xinlu's beauty, and because he's naive, he mistook that feeling for his first love. Even Xinlu himself told him that it couldn't really be called first love. Yuri is a very pure and simple character who tends not to overthink things. Even with romance, If Xinlu hadn't pushed him to express his feelings, Yuri probably would have walked away despite loving him deeply. Do you get what I mean?
I feel sad for Yuri how some people with zero comprehension is calling him pedo. Yuri's character is very simple, plain and bland like grass as mentioned in the novel. ( Necessarily not a bad thing). He does not complicate things like others. He have maintained approciate distance with Xinlu, have no ill intentions, his try to align all of his actions to Xinlu's will. He may have said that Xinlu is his first love, because for him it's adoration, admiration and just simple love with no other meaning attached to it because there are so many forms of love we will unfortunately never know or experience it, Yuri just happened to have his version of love which is not BAD as his actions are the proof.
Yes, you're absolutely right. I think many people have lost their judgment because of the influence of social media. The fact is that every person's character shapes the way they view life and love.Yuri's way of loving is very well written. His attachment to an innocent moment from when he was 13 years old is not a weakness; it actually reveals a great deal about his character. I think many people miss that point because they lack a deeper understanding of human nature and the complexity of human interactions.
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?
