Oo damn that's not several chapters ago, that's like forever ago, forgot how much of an asshole both of them were in a way
To answer your question, that wasn't considered a genuine kiss I think, considering how the scene played out too, it's seen as more of a humiliation towards mo i think thus no censorship, now would be a different thing. Also maybe since it was forever ago, maybe the work wasn't as restrictive but since it's pretty popular now, maybe why the author is trying to avoid it

yeah I said “several” because I couldn’t quite remember when it happened and when I found it I was like “damn that really was forever ago huh” lol
anyway idk, not needing to censor it because it was bullying or whatever seems kinda…flimsy to me. something else causing tighter restrictions in the span of time between then and now sounds more plausible to me though.
like, people are saying they can’t show the kiss because it’s a Chinese manhua but several chapters ago they showed He Tian shoving his tongue in redhead’s mouth and making me cry so like… where’s the sweet consensual kisses now, I need them ヽ(`Д´)ノ
