Is no one gna talk abt how when he gets asked his first love, he remembers xinlu as a whol...

Same, it threw me off and some people are skipping it.

NOOOO, His love was just admiration for the beauty that Xinlu had like a flower that bloomed in water and it was indeed the first heartbreak he had because the little child he saved turned out to hate him. This character is very interesting and unique, his way of looking at things is beautiful, so don't think strangely about him.

Um.. there's a long ass threads discussing about this up to the point the people have completely abandoned the plot..

But couldn't he remember a more recent time when remembering his first love, not his admiration for a blooming flower feels weird writing it.
He could recall the moment he first started realising he actually loves xinlu more than he originally thought

later in the next chapter... what yuri thinks about is xinlu who has grown up. Yuri's first love when he thinks of little Xinlu is just a platonic love without lust and is completely amazed by Xinlu's beauty. even if the one who drowns is a beautiful cat and he can't save it, which is difficult for him to bear, it will be a heartbreak for his first love too Yuri's love is not lust, you have to be careful in distinguishing him, that's why I say his character is interesting. You will learn what love is from Xinlu and Yuri in the next chapters that you won't get from other passion series. This story is really beautiful, it has its own color.
