personally I think that it's alright to admire someone's beauty as long as it doesn't get creepy. I think that being a pedo is where a person starts to see the child in a sexual way, which is gross, obviously. I interpreted yuri's thoughts as admiring xinlu's beauty, as if it was the most beautiful treasure he has ever seen! Also, people saying bottoms can't be pedos r just brain-dead
No you’re not alone in this I was looking in the comments to see if someone felt the same because it is kinda weird no matter how you look at it. He keeps saying stuff like he was mesmerized by his beauty at first sight and always kept thinking about him when Xinlu was literally a child and he was a fully grown man
Just stfu will youYuri clearly saw him as beautiful as a flower blooming in water without the slightest sexual desire. Just like you when you see something beautiful? he let the xinlu drown so that it would be easier to save. After saving him, Yuri never thought about Xinlu again until he met her when Xinlu is an adult

No offense i absolutely love the story and the art so much but Yuri scene of him admiring and his heart beating while watching a 12 year old Xinlu drowning and saying that's the moment his heart moved so much? Isn't that literally attraction to a kid and isn't that very pedo vibes . I wanna continue the story but Yuri feels too much pedo idk, i have seen people argue that the bottom can never be pedo like bruh it doesnt matter both bottom and top can be pedo, but this def is a pedo vibe I wanna continue but I am too conflicted
