For most of S1 all he does is smile and stare at her. I'm not sure what is supposed to be compelling about their relationship
Their relationship is very superficial to me. XY doesn't have deep conversations with him like she does with XL.
XL does all the things a first male lead should do. Jing doesn't do them and even if he does something, he has others helping him out. All the things he received in the end (a plan to reveal his brother's schemes, a happy ending with XY) were all thanks to other people. This is one of the reasons why I couldn't root for him.
