He didn’t want to have anything to do with Xinlu as a child lmao, he just thought he was pretty. In the novel it’s stated clearly that it wasn’t really love
preach oml
brutha he didn’t love a damn child like that u weird asl for thinking like that tho
call the author weird for writing that shit and yourself weird for defending this shit. like hoe just admit that it's weird and fucking move on.
bitches really out here pissing and shitting themselves trying to defend the author's weird pedo shit. like is this really the hill you wanna die on? if the author didn't mean it like that, here's an idea: SHE DIDN'T HAVE TO WRITE A STORY WHERE THE MC THINKS OF THE 7-8 YO BOY HE'S WATCHING DROWN AS 'BEAUTIFUL' AND REPEATEDLY REFER TO HIM AS HIS 'FIRST LOVE'. i capitalized it cause you people seem pretty blind.
i originally wrote this comment as somewhat of a jest because obviously i like this story (i wouldn't continue to read this otherwise) but the incessant denial that this story element is strange in any way and that WE'RE the weirdos for thinking it's weird (like the bigbrain Wanita above me is saying) is mindblowing. do you people have shit in your brains? is that it?
"my first love" talking about a whole ass child btw
