When he said Xinlu was his first love, that was already mixed with the feelings he had for the adult Xinlu. When he admired young Xinlu’s beauty, it was purely because of Xinlu’s beauty. There were no bad thoughts or ulterior motives behind it. Read carefully—we’re reading this story from Yuri’s POV, and he’s simply not that kind of character
everytime I try to read and like this (cuz I'm a Passion Novel series reader and I love IlTae so much), they have to remind me that Yuri kinda fell in love as a 25 year old guy, to the 12 year old Xinlu. like okay I'm trying to see it as something esthetic instead of romantic attraction, that he was only seeing him as this beautiful creature, but why does he need to said that Xinlu was his first love? I just can't please
