Kokuto:
So, I was looking up what Yudanzi meant, and found this Fox roasting article which mentioned Yudanzi. But it also talked about the sexual tension between XY and XL:
The reason why Xiang Liu's love is so advanced is that it has sexual tension throughout. Blood sucking, eye pulling, body contact, every frame is discharging. Then as a control group, when Tu Shanjing and the heroine are in the same frame, not only is there a lack of sexual tension, but also a strong feeling of mother-child affection. Especially the male second leaned on the female lead's body many times, with a weak look, and a proper sense of mother and child. The male second has been looking for masculine dignity in the heroine, but Xiang Liu never needs to find masculinity in the heroine. He is a hydra full of sexual tension.

I'm really amazed that no one has called Xiang Liu a "Hydra of Sexual Tension" before. I mean, it was writhing RIGHT THERE. lol
Also, bonus points for 'eye pulling.' :)
Dead at the idea that an advanced love is the one with sexual tension.
Double dead at the "Hydra of Sexual Tension" :-)
And what on earth is "eye pulling"? I got the blood-sucking and so on, but did I miss something?
I'm guessing there are some language barriers here, but yeah, love without sexual tension/attraction is just friendship. Pretty apt for YaoJing since Xiao Yao wanted a companion and she got one in the end. Tong Hua didn't even let them consummate their marriage, for goodness sake. She couldn't make it any clearer unless she spelled it out.
